Chapter 6 Bold

"This..." Shen Qingru slowly stood up from the couch.

She had a beautiful face, and when she looked weak and innocent, she was very pitiful. Even with her shocked expression, she was still very beautiful.

"The Emperor is really here?" There was just the right amount of surprise in those wide eyes.

The young eunuch knelt on the ground and was so happy that he was incoherent: "Your Majesty's dragon chariot has passed Chongyang Gate and will soon arrive at Changqiu Palace."

There are many concubines in the harem, and Changqiu Palace is far away. Although Shen Qingru has some favor, it has never been very popular.

His Majesty had already come to the Qiongzhou Hua Yeyan two days ago, and now he is coming again just a few days later. How can this not be a surprise?

"Our servants rushed here immediately after hearing the news. My lady, please pack up quickly and get ready to welcome the emperor." The young eunuch stood up and looked at Shen Qingru expectantly.

The latter turned his head and looked straight at Shen Fu: "But..."

She had a beautiful face, with slightly wrinkled eyebrows, which made me feel pity for her: "But... what should I do, sister?"

Shen Qingru looked over with eyes full of worry.

The candlelight in the room flickered slightly, and Shen Fu clearly saw the expressions that flashed across her face, some worry, some surprise, and the rest were full of concern when he looked at her.

Even though he knew that Shen Qingru was not a good person and was prepared in his heart, after seeing her with his own eyes, he still felt inferior to her.

Shen Qingru's performance was perfect, and it was completely impossible to tell what little thoughts were hidden in her heart.

If she had not lived her life over again, she would never have imagined that such a timid and gentle person on the surface actually had so many despicable means behind the scenes.

“Afu…” Seeing that she didn’t respond, Shen Qingru clenched her palms and looked at Shen Fu with an inquiring look.

Shen Fu quickly came back to her senses.

She tilted her head back, a hint of helplessness just showing on her palm-sized face. He looked over timidly: "Then...Eldest sister, is it not good for me to stay here?"

Shen Fu had just come of age, and she was extremely beautiful. When her eyes trembled slightly, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

She knew what Shen Qingru wanted to hear, and followed her words, "If His Majesty saw me, I'm afraid he would misunderstand me."

His Majesty must have come here at night to invite Shen Qingru to sleep with him. As a court lady, she had neither reason nor status to stay here in the middle of the night. If this got out, it would definitely damage her reputation.

Shen Qingru took a deep breath in her heart.

She had expected His Majesty to come here today. However, the emperor could come, but he could not see Shen Fu in person.

Chen Fu is so beautiful that the Emperor will definitely be attracted to her as soon as he sees her.

What she wanted was for the emperor to be seduced by Shen Fu's body and be willing to be her substitute, rather than for Shen Fu to step on her to ascend to the position of honor and favor.

"As a concubine, you have not yet participated in the palace selection." Shen Qingru breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Shen Fu was tactful.

She had already thought through what she was going to say.

"I have not seen His Majesty since entering the palace, but today's situation is definitely inappropriate." After all, Chen Fu is still in the boudoir, and the selection is about to begin.

It was night time now. If the Emperor came and saw her here, the timing would definitely be wrong.

Shen Qingru knew it, and Shen Fu naturally knew it too.

No wonder Shen Qingru wanted to invite her to dinner. She must have expected this. This person's mind is very meticulous, and I'm afraid nothing will go wrong.

"I..." Shen Fu decided to follow Shen Qingru's performance. Her eyes instantly turned red and she glanced towards the door.

Then he asked Shen Qingru eagerly: "Eldest sister..."

Shen Fu was young, and when she pretended to be frightened, her eyes turned red. She looked so timid that she wished someone would hold her in their arms and caress her gently.

"Or...or I'll go out right away." After saying that, Shen Fu immediately walked out. Shen Qingru behind her was shocked.

He immediately reached out and grabbed her.

"Your Majesty is at the door right now. If you go over there, you might really bump into him!" Shen Qingru frowned and stared at Shen Fu.

I really don't know whether she is really stupid or just pretending.

If she really went out and was seen by His Majesty, wouldn't everything she did today be in vain? !

"Then...then I." Shen Fu had intended to scare her, and seeing her face turn pale, she secretly found it funny.

"Where should I hide then?"

As she spoke, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were misty and hazy, like a elk in the mountains.

Shen Qingru took a deep breath, then grabbed Shen Fu's hand and walked into the inner room.

Behind the carved red lacquered bunk bed, the crimson gauze curtains were dim. Shen Qingru personally pulled her to the back of the bed, held Shen Fu's hand and carefully instructed:

"I'm sorry, sister. Just wait here for a while."

Chen Fu looked at the hidden gauze curtains around her, and then looked at Shen Qingru in front of her with a serious expression.

I immediately understood what Shen Qingrucun was thinking.

Hide her here, and when the Emperor arrives, I'm afraid he will find a way to send her to the bed.

Thoughts in her mind rolled back and forth... Shen Fu clenched her palms, but in the end she didn't rush out.

She was afraid that what happened last time could not be concealed. She knew that as long as she was still in the palace, she would not be able to escape this disaster sooner or later.

"Sister?" Shen Fu looked up at Shen Qingru.

She thought she would have to take action tonight, but she didn't expect to be so impatient. Shen Fu sneered in her heart, but her face showed just the right amount of fear: "I...I really want to hide here?"

Her eyes trembled slightly, and her petite body hid beside the smaller square, trembling: "If His Majesty stays overnight... I... what should I do?"

All I want is you to be here.

Shen Qingru clenched her palms, then released them: "Your Majesty is coming soon. If we go out now, we will be discovered."

She reached out and pushed Chen Fu's body down to be more hidden, then signaled Feng Chun beside her: "No matter what happens later, don't come out."

Shen Fu was forced to shrink back, and the curtain above her head fell down, covering her tightly.

Even though she guessed what Shen Qingru wanted to do, she still found it ridiculous.

Isn't Shen Qingru a little too bold? Why on earth was she so persistent in wanting me to be her substitute?

Outside the bed, Shen Qingru was completely relieved after she confirmed that Shen Fu was indeed hiding well.

The noise outside the house has become louder, and the Emperor should be almost at the door.

She lowered her head and straightened her dress, then held Fengchun's hand and walked out.
