Chapter 12 She Wants to Avoid Favor
On the other side, when Liu Yuetang stepped into the Yaoyue Palace, Jiang Baolin happened to come out holding the hand of a palace maid.
She quickly lowered her eyes and walked forward absentmindedly, not noticing that Jiang Baolin was walking towards her with sharp eyes.
Just like that, their shoulders collided directly with each other.
Jiang Baolin immediately became angry and shouted, "Don't you have eyes when you walk?"
Liu Yuetang leaned down slowly and said, "I didn't mean it."
Jiang Baolin gritted his teeth and slapped him in the face with a loud slap.
"Liu Yuetang, I'm telling you, this is the Imperial Palace, not the Liu Mansion. Stop looking at me like that!"
"Now I am Baolin, and you are just a concubine. If I want to touch you, it only takes a word."
Liu Yuetang endured the pain on her face, and the corners of her scarlet mouth twitched slightly: "Yes, Jiang Baolin is very capable now!"
The seemingly complimenting words were actually filled with contempt and ridicule, and Jiang Baolin became angry and embarrassed.
He raised his voice and said, "Ms. Liu, you have offended the superior. This matter should have been reported to the Empress and you should have been severely punished. However, I, in consideration of our acquaintance, will give you a lighter punishment. I will punish you by making you kneel here until dark. Do you accept this?"
Liu Yuetang knelt down calmly with her back straight.
Jiang Baolin snorted coldly: "I wonder if your words are harder or the floor is harder."
After saying this, she walked away with her head held high.
After Jiang Baolin disappeared, Liu Zheng said with tears in her eyes, "My lady, why are you doing this? The more forceful you are, the more she will act recklessly."
Liu Yuetang raised her hand to wipe the bright red blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes deep: "This is exactly the effect I want."
Otherwise, how can you have a chance to avoid favor?
At the same time, it also paves the way for getting rid of Jiang Baolin.
Although Liu Yuetang had a miserable life since childhood, she was not a tolerant person.
In the past, Jiang Baolin often visited the Liu family. She would always remember...
That year she was ten years old. She had just returned to the Liu Mansion and saw Jiang Baolin and Liu Yueyao eating snacks in the yard. The snacks were something she had never seen before, so delicate and sweet.
She couldn't help but step forward and ask her sister if she could have a snack.
But Liu Yueyao said, "You are a concubine's daughter, are you worthy of eating such delicious snacks?"
Jiang Baolin then fed the snack in his hand to the cat in his arms, and the cat looked at him with a smile.
She will always remember that there was pride, provocation, and even contempt in that little look.
Jiang Baolin knew everything about her past in the Liu family, and now they lived in the same palace.
Whenever she saw the disdain in Jiang Baolin's eyes, she would think of the tragic things she had suffered in the past.
She really didn't like this feeling. She didn't like the fact that her enemy knew so much about her past and her shameful things.
Therefore, she had to get rid of Jiang Baolin. Otherwise, based on her relationship with Liu Yueyao, she would become a disaster sooner or later.
But at the moment, she wants to avoid favor.
The louder the birds in the forest sing, the sooner they are hunted.
Just as there is a beauty on the stage, there is also a concubine in the palace.
The easier it is to get a woman, the less a man cherishes her.
Therefore, she had to appear as a prey to capture this supreme emperor, create a perfect encounter to arouse his interest and gain his protection.
The emperor’s own protection!
Instead of favoring her for a few days and then forgetting about her, regardless of her life or death.
Concubine Ye and Jiang Cainv are examples of previous cases. The reason why Concubine Yu dared to punish them at will was because she was sure that the emperor would not come forward, let alone protect them.
Although Concubine Ye was favored, how much weight did a one-night stand hold in the emperor's mind?
He has three thousand beauties, so what does it matter if there is one more or one less?
At noon, the sun jumped out with flames, dazzling people's eyes and making their backs burn with pain.
Liu Yuetang knelt for three hours before she could bear it anymore and fainted.
Liu Zheng was extremely frightened and immediately ordered someone to call the imperial physician.
Unexpectedly, this alarmed Jiang Baolin in the hall. She held a round fan above her head and walked out with a twist of her waist.
"Why would you hire a doctor for punishment?"
Liu Zheng knelt down and begged bitterly, "Young Master Jiang, our young master has been weak since childhood, and now the sun is not optimistic. Please be kind and let us call the imperial physician."
Jiang Baolin looked at Liu Yuetang's pale face and cold sweat on his forehead, and curled his lips in satisfaction: "Isn't it just kneeling for a short while? Is he going to die?"
"Since this master does not bear grudges against me, I will spare your young lady. You don't have to kneel until dark. Help her inside."
This naturally means that you are not allowed to hire a royal physician.
Liu Zheng suppressed her hateful eyes and helped Liu Yuetang into the house with the eunuch.
Jiang Baolin smiled and winked at the eunuch beside him: "Ms. Liu is ill, why don't you go and inform the Imperial Household Department."
The eunuch quickly responded: "Yes, I will go right away."
Jiang Baolin thought he had outmaneuvered Liu Yuetang, but he didn't know that this was exactly what she wanted.
Since then, Liu Yuetang has been bedridden.
******
The beginning of winter marks the end of autumn, and the grass and trees fall.
Winter came in a flash.
And the imperial court finally moved the sign of the new concubine again - Su Cainu.
Inside the Zichen Palace, the curtains hung low and the tulle swayed gently.
The candlelight in the hall shone on Xiao Heng's slightly tired face, casting a dim shadow on the carpet.
Su Cainu has dark hair that reaches her waist and wears a snow-white long skirt. The lotus embroidered on the hem of the skirt flows in the candlelight with her light steps, like a blooming lotus, making her look quite dignified and gentle.
She looked at the emperor from afar, who was leaning on a soft pillow with his eyes closed. Her eyes paused and she was momentarily distracted.
The man on the couch had a handsome appearance, bright eyes, thin brows, and a majestic look.
Even if he was not an emperor and was born in the common people, he could still win the hearts of many women.
"This concubine pays respects to the Emperor."
Su Cainvfu bent down, soft ripples appearing in her clear eyes, her gaze flowing with countless tenderness and grace.
However, Xiao Heng did not even raise his eyes to look at such a gentle and beautiful woman.
He pressed his index finger on his temples.
"Can you give me a massage?"
Xiao Heng's voice was as mellow as wine, floating softly into Su Cainv's ears.
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks: "I know a little."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and placed her hands on both sides of the emperor's forehead.
The force is neither too light nor too heavy, just right.
She didn't know when, but her hands were suddenly held by a big hand, and then her body was moved by him to lie on the couch.
The candlelight in the tent was dim and unclear.
But Xiao Heng could still vaguely see the face of the woman under him.
He reached out and gently stroked Su Cainu's cheek: "You are as bright as a flower, and as warm as a crystal."
Su Cainu smiled shyly: "Your Majesty, you are too kind."
As these words fell, Su Cainv closed her eyes, painfully yet at ease, giving herself to him wholeheartedly.
The demands of the person on her body were much gentler than she had imagined.
Su Cainv endured the pain and dared not make a sound, just tightly grasping the bed sheet.
She always kept in mind the rules: she must not make any noise while sleeping with him, and she must do her best to make him enjoy himself so as not to spoil his mood.
