When she saw Qiao Yuange standing behind the emperor, she suddenly felt unhappy and her good mood was ruined. She pulled her thin clothes closer, stood up, and said to the emperor: "I have been in the palace for a year. During this year, the emperor has ignored me. Is it because I am not proactive enough, so I took the initiative to come to the emperor, but the emperor still does not accept me?"
After Concubine An finished speaking, the Emperor walked over to the chair next to him and sat down. He said to Concubine An, "Don't I remember that you should be locked up in the yard to reflect on yourself? Who gave you the order to let you out? Are you despising me?"
Concubine An thought, the emperor is a man after all, and as a woman, she thought she was pretty good-looking, so how could she not be liked by the emperor?
As long as she is a little gentle and charming, she will surely win the emperor over.
But it failed again this time.
She is a very open-minded person. If she fails, she fails. If she embarrasses herself, she embarrasses herself.
Although there was a brief moment of embarrassment, he recovered quickly and had no intention of finding a crack in the ground to crawl into.
She walked over, found her own coat and put it on, without even looking at Qiao Yuange, as if she didn't take Qiao Yuange seriously at all.
In the harem, it was common for women to compete for favors, and she saw no need to feel embarrassed.
"Your Highness, may I ask you a question? Since you didn't marry a woman to have children, what was she for? Was it just to watch?"
Concubine An’s question was quite sharp.
The emperor had been traveling all day and was a little sleepy. He yawned and said, "You know clearly why you came to the palace and why I reluctantly wanted you. In fact, you and I both know it. So why are you asking?"
Having said this, the emperor stretched out his hand and asked the head nanny to tidy up the dragon bed.
The head nanny was obviously used to this situation, so she walked over and changed all the quilts that Concubine An was sitting on.
Concubine An wanted to argue with the emperor, but she didn't expect that the emperor actually disliked her for being dirty?
She watched as the nanny took the quilt out and brought in a new one. She felt humiliated at that moment.
She was so angry that her face turned red, and her tone became strange: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Are you disgusted with me? But since I entered the palace, I have never had contact with men. What do you dislike about me? Is it because I don't take a bath?"
When the emperor saw that the maid had changed the bed, he walked over and lay down, closed his eyes and said to Concubine An, "You must reflect on yourself now. You are not allowed to come out without my order. If you do it again, I will not let you go!"
"But I came here to help His Majesty. Besides, His Majesty didn't answer any of the questions I asked just now."
The emperor said, "I am not answering because I am giving you face. I have to make some things clear. Wouldn't you feel embarrassed? There are not many gentle things I can give you, and this is one of them."
This damn thing can actually be considered gentle?
But she still hoped that the emperor would say something more, but the emperor had already closed his eyes.
The head nanny walked to the door, pushed Concubine An out, and said to her, "My Lady Concubine, His Highness is about to rest. Do you think you should also rest?"
Qiao Yuange, who was standing nearby, also yawned and prepared to go to the room to rest.
But Concubine An glanced at Qiao Yuange, and immediately pointed at her and said, "Come here with the Queen!"
Qiao Yuange took a breath, took a step back and said, "But..."
The head nanny also quickly stood in front of Qiao Yuange at this time, looked at Concubine An coldly and said, "Concubine, you also know that Qiao girl is a favorite of the emperor. If you want to find her, I'm afraid you need to tell the emperor in advance. Otherwise, if the emperor asks, we will have no way to explain."
Concubine An put her hands on her waist and tilted her head, her eyes full of disdain: "This concubine of your majesty is really shameful. She can't even find a maid, right? What's so great about this maid? She doesn't even give your majesty face?"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked at Qiao Yuange with a look of dissatisfaction.
Qiao Yuange lowered his brows and said nothing.
The eldest nanny also lost her patience and said, "Since the emperor asked the imperial concubine to go to the courtyard first, please go ahead. If you want to find Qiao girl, you can send someone to look for her tomorrow."
Concubine An was about to be pissed off by the head nanny, but she also knew that the head nanny was very important to the emperor, so she could only swallow this loss in silence. She looked at Qiao Yuange fiercely, and finally turned around and left reluctantly.
Although the nanny still had a lot to say to Qiao Yuange, she was extremely tired, so she opened her mouth, waved her hand, and left.
Qiao Yuange didn't say much and went back to his room to rest.
The next morning, when Qiao Yuange woke up, he entered the main hall of Taixing Palace and saw that the entire hall was in a mess.
There were a lot of things piled on the ground. Qiao Yuan took a quick look and saw that they were all things to ward off evil spirits.
As she walked past, she saw that the head nanny looked unhappy, obviously she did not get enough rest last night.
After seeing Qiao Yuange wake up, she stretched out her hand dejectedly and said to Qiao Yuange: "The Imperial Concubine asked you to come over, saying that she wanted to ask you something."
Qiao Yuange knew he couldn't escape, so he nodded and asked, "Why are there so many things delivered to the main hall? This is Taixing Palace, not a warehouse. Are these people crazy?"
The eldest nanny said, "It was the Queen Mother and the Concubine Dowager who heard that the Emperor was assassinated yesterday, so they sent a lot of evil-repelling items. Let them do what they want, these people are always like this. By the way, you must be careful with the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine is different from the concubines you met before. This woman is too arrogant and speaks and acts very decisively. She is smarter than others. You must be careful with your words and don't let others catch you."
Qiao Yuange nodded.
After leaving Taixing Palace and heading east, passing the Imperial Garden, there is a courtyard.
There is a huge lotus pond in front of the yard. At this time, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, crowding in the pond, making it very lively.
The tender color of the lotus flowers was so intoxicating that Qiao Yuange stood in front of the pond and watched for a long time before preparing to enter.
But at this moment, a woman's voice came: "Qiao Yuange, why are you here too?"
