Chapter 37 Concubine Zhao pays respects
After the queen had packed up, Liu Yuetang helped her to the main hall.
Through the beaded curtain, I could immediately see a woman in a pine flower purple dress sitting on the upper right side.
Just a side profile made Liu Yuetang's eyes narrow.
She had never seen Concubine Zhao, but only heard people say that her appearance was comparable to that of Concubine Yu.
But from this point of view, she is even worse than Jade Concubine.
Although Concubine Yu is beautiful, her beauty is so stunning that it is almost overwhelming.
The beauty of Concubine Zhao is so cold and pure that she looks like an immortal.
As she sat there, she seemed as if she was not a woman from the palace. She was elegant, noble, aloof and cold.
This is a temperament that cannot be found in any other concubine in the harem.
It is said that the emperor only loves women with unique personalities. I think this is one of the reasons why Concubine Zhao was favored.
As everyone saluted, Liu Yuetang also stepped aside and leaned down.
After the Queen ordered everyone to stand up, she looked at Concubine Zhao with surprise in her eyes: "Concubine Zhao is here today too?"
Concubine Zhao nodded and said calmly, "I haven't seen you sisters for a long time. If I don't see you again..."
Her beautiful eyes swept across the queen's face and then glanced at everyone present.
"I'm afraid I can't even remember the name."
Concubine Yu chuckled lightly, her eyes slightly raised, "Right now, there is someone whose name Concubine Zhao cannot recall."
"Perhaps Consort Zhao doesn't know this yet, but this is the newly appointed Consort Liu by the Emperor."
She looked at Liu Yuetang with an intriguing smile.
"Liu Cairen served as imperial concubine for two consecutive nights. She was promoted from imperial concubine to imperial concubine, and last night she was promoted to talented lady."
"It shows how much the Emperor likes Lady Liu."
When Yu Fei said this, she dug her nails into her palms fiercely, but a smile was on her face.
Concubine Zhao looked at Liu Yuetang, her gaze paused, her eyes dark and unclear.
Since Liu Yuetang was mentioned, she had to stand up and formally salute Concubine Zhao.
"This concubine greets Her Majesty Zhao Fei."
Concubine Zhao withdrew her gaze coldly and set it on Concubine Yu.
"Does the Emperor have so few favorite women? Is it necessary for you, Concubine Yu, to remind me?"
Concubine Yu pursed her lips and said, "Unfortunately, this Concubine Liu, like you, Concubine Zhao, has the character 'Tang' in her name."
Mingpin's eyes lit up: "Oh, what's Consort Liu's name?"
Liu Yuetang replied: "My concubine Liu Yuetang."
Mingpin thought of Shen Qingtang in her heart and laughed: "As expected."
As she spoke, she looked at Liu Yuetang for a moment, "It seems that this Lady Liu has some similarities in figure to you, Concubine Zhao."
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked quietly towards Liu Yuetang and Concubine Zhao.
There are indeed some similarities, but Liu Yuetang's waist is thinner and her breasts are fuller.
Liu Yuetang knew very well that Concubine Yu was using her to annoy Concubine Zhao.
But her words were insignificant, and if she fought back, it would be like a pebble hitting a stone.
She nodded and said, "Empress Ming, you're joking. Empress Zhao is an unrivaled beauty, a stunning beauty. I am not one ten-thousandth as beautiful as her."
Mingpin smiled and said, "You are the first person to have the Emperor promoted two ranks in one day. Why should you belittle yourself?"
She seemed to be praising him, but her words were filled with jealousy, and she was also making enemies for Liu Yuetang.
Concubine Zhao frowned impatiently. "I haven't been to Weiyang Palace for a long time. I didn't expect it to be the same as before, with such a noisy and bustling atmosphere."
After saying this, she stood up gracefully, the tassels under her bun swaying in a shimmering pearlescent light, making her face look even more cool and clear.
"I feel unwell in my ears, so I'll take my leave now."
The queen nodded, but before she could speak, Concubine Zhao turned and left.
When she walked to Liu Yuetang's side, she glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally.
Yu Fei's delicate features were tinged with anger. "Common people? Does Zhao Fei regard us all as common women? The Empress is a stickler for rules, so why don't you take Zhao Fei into consideration this time?"
The Queen remained expressionless, sitting dignified, but her voice suddenly gained a touch of authority: "Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?"
She slowly glanced at everyone, her expression gradually becoming stern.
He already knew everyone's thoughts.
Liu Cairen is favored, and everyone is jealous. They want to use Zhao Fei's power to suppress Liu Cairen.
He also intended to use Concubine Liu to anger Concubine Zhao and make her lose her composure.
She was not so stupid as to punish Concubine Zhao.
Deal with a woman that even the emperor is reluctant to deal with.
"If you want to be favored, instead of focusing on others, you should think about how to improve yourself to win the emperor's favor. If you keep being jealous like this all day, it will annoy me, not to mention the emperor."
Everyone bowed their heads and responded, "Yes, I obey your command."
Concubine Yu rolled her eyes in disdain.
As a favored concubine, does she have to listen to the lecture of an old witch queen who is no longer favored?
Liu Yuetang left the Weiyang Palace and looked at the high-ranking master sitting in the sedan chair, looking down on her with an arrogant look, and her gaze gradually wandered.
This is the right and status that everyone pursues.
A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death.
No matter how arrogant and domineering Concubine Yu was, she dared not act rashly once the Queen showed her power.
Similarly, to Concubine Yu, she is as small as an ant.
She raised her feet and walked forward step by step.
It doesn't matter. She entered the palace for power and status.
Beauty, Concubine, Imperial Concubine, Imperial Concubine...
She will go up step by step.
The moon is at its highest point in the sky and the night is warm.
The flowing zither comes in from outside.
"My lady, the emperor has turned over Lady Ye's card today."
Concubine Ye was the concubine who entered the palace with Liu Yuetang.
Although she was spoiled, she was bright and had a good family background, so she was favored by the emperor after entering the palace.
After hearing this, Liu Yuetang's brows relaxed, and she stretched lazily with a bright smile.
"That's great! I'm exhausted from working two consecutive nights."
Liu Zheng hurriedly undressed Liu Yuetang: "The other ladies are eagerly waiting for the Emperor to come, but you, my lady, are so happy that the Emperor turned over someone else's card."
Liu Yuetang said slowly: "A tall tree attracts the wind, and prosperity will eventually lead to decline. Don't rush into anything."
Liu Zheng nodded. "Indeed, the concubines couldn't hold back after the young lady had been in the emperor's bed for two days straight. If the emperor continues to summon the young lady to his bed, I'm really afraid they'll deal with you."
"It's only a matter of time before we deal with it."
So, before that, what she had to do was not to deal with and resist those concubines.
But to take down the emperor.
Only with the emperor's true favor and protection, would the high-ranking concubines be wary of her, and she would be able to completely compete with them.
Liu Yuetang yawned, "Alright, my waist is sore from exhaustion these past two days, I'm going to sleep first. Only by conserving our energy can we achieve great things."
No one knows how tiring and exhausting it is to serve the emperor in bed.
In this matter, it feels very comfortable if we are in sync.
Being out of sync is simply torture.
The important thing is that she didn't feel comfortable at all, but instead pretended to enjoy it very much.
