The emperor frowned when he heard what Eunuch Li said. He supported his head with one hand and tapped the table with the other, as if he was talking to himself: "Then how long will she pretend before she is willing to recognize me?"
No one answered. At this time, Qiao Yuange, who the emperor called "playing crazy and stupid", was sitting in front of the door of his little room.
Her room was right next to Taixing Palace. Through a corridor and two doors was the emperor's bedroom.
She saw Yun Zhen being escorted by two maids to the door of the emperor's bedroom.
The maid in the lead knocked on the door, and Eunuch Li came out of the bedroom. When he saw Yun Zhen, he was slightly startled, and then said, "Madam Concubine Yu, it's so late, what can I do for you?"
Yun Zhen's face turned red and he opened his mouth, as if he didn't want to reveal his situation.
But the maidservant next to her was not polite and immediately frowned and said, "Eunuch Li, the Empress Dowager has asked us to sleep with the Concubine tonight."
Eunuch Li couldn't help laughing, and said as he laughed: "Your Majesty, the matter of sleeping with the emperor is decided by the emperor, and the empress dowager can't control it with just a few words. If the emperor doesn't agree, this..."
Qiao Yuange hid in a corner, and Concubine Qi and others did not see her.
After hearing this, Qiao Yuange laughed in his heart. After all, it was quite embarrassing that the concubine came to him on her own initiative.
As a result, Concubine Xiao's face turned red in an instant. It was indeed a bit embarrassing for a concubine like her to do such a cheap deal that was delivered to her door.
The concubine covered her face with her hands, turned around and rushed out.
The two maids who followed her saw this situation, but they didn't even chase after them. Instead, they stayed to argue with Eunuch Li. It seemed that they didn't know what was important.
Qiao Yuange took a breath and quickly stood up and chased after him. After all, Concubine Yi was still the emperor's cousin and wife. If she could help Concubine Yi, maybe the emperor would look at her with a new eye and let her go.
Although Concubine Xi was a lady from a wealthy family, she had good physical fitness and ran very far in one breath.
Qiao Yuange chased after her but failed to catch up. He saw Concubine Xi arrive at the place where the Emperor had a tryst with the handsome young man yesterday.
Could it be that the concubine went to school with the emperor and also planned to commit suicide by jumping into the river?
After a while of wild thoughts, Qiao Yuange caught up, only to see that Concubine Xi had already gone up to the pavilion. What made Qiao Yuange even more anxious was that there was another person in the pavilion. Judging from his figure, wasn't this the handsome young man from last night?
It’s over, it’s over. This is like the first wife meeting the second wife, or the rivals meeting each other, right?
Qiao Yuange quickly crouched down in the bush where he had been hiding before.
She came here this time because she was afraid that something might happen to the concubine, but at this moment she encountered such a magical, embarrassing and bizarre scene that she stayed here unconsciously.
The young man in the pavilion saw Concubine Xi coming, and his voice seemed to be a little distant: "Greetings, Madam Concubine Xi."
The long silence made Qiao Yuange wonder if the two of them had started a fight.
She leaned forward and saw the man and woman standing there in the moonlight. The moonlight stretched their shadows very long.
The concubine looked up at the young master, and after a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you call me the concubine?"
There was some disappointment in his tone.
The tone was not right. Qiao Yuange tasted it carefully but could not discern anything.
The other young master seemed a little panicked, and said to Yun Zhen: "I want to call you the Concubine. If you are the emperor's woman, it is not appropriate for me and my minister to meet here."
The man was still quite calm and composed. Compared to Yun Zhen's out-of-control emotions, his calm and composed look seemed to irritate Yun Zhen even more.
"Xiao Liang! You know that I don't like Xiao Yun, and you also know that I don't want to be a concubine! You know that I like you, but you..."
What? !
Qiao Yuange was hiding in the bushes. After hearing these words, he covered his mouth which was open in surprise to prevent himself from shouting.
how so?
Qiao Yuange thought that this young master and the concubine were rivals in love, but it turned out that they became lovers?
Isn't it the case that only the emperor is injured and the world is complete?
My brother and my wife brought me a green hat?
No wonder the emperor is so fragile inside. If Qiao Yuange were to encounter this kind of thing, she would probably want to die more than the emperor!
"Your Highness, please be careful with your words. Since you have married the Emperor, you should serve Him wholeheartedly and not have any other thoughts."
Xiao Liang spoke slowly, his tone not changing at all, and it was obvious that he had no reaction to Concubine Xiao's confession.
"You!" Concubine Xi shouted fiercely with tears in her voice, then turned around and ran away in tears.
Oh my God, this concubine is so pitiful. She was just refused to sleep with the emperor, and now she confessed her love to Master Xiao Liang but was rejected. This is too miserable.
But the one who was even more miserable was the emperor. As the ruler of a country, he could not escape the fate of being cuckolded. Qiao Yuange suddenly felt a little distressed and sympathetic for the emperor.
She sat behind the bushes with her hands clasped together. After eavesdropping on this incident, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
Just when she was still feeling sad, a man's voice came from above her head: "Are you really becoming more and more skilled at eavesdropping?"
Qiao Yuange was frightened and stood up quickly. He saw that it was indeed the young man from yesterday, the Xiao Liang mentioned by Concubine Xiao. He had stood in front of him without knowing when.
She leaned forward slightly, then smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but Concubine Xi was in a bad mood the other day, and I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I chased after her. But Concubine Xi was very fast, so... while you two were talking, I didn't even go over."
In Qiao Yuange's subconscious mind, Young Master Xiao Liang seemed to be a man of words, at least much more docile than the emperor, who had a bad temper. She also hoped that she could explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly and let the young master let her go.
Guo Xiaoliang gently waved his fan and said to Qiao Yuange, "You seem to be quite clever, so why does His Highness insist on saying that you are stupid? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to you and wants to monopolize you? And he is afraid that I will snatch you away?"
What happened to this young man? Wasn't he having an affair with the emperor? Was it all preconceived by Qiao Yuange? Maybe he was a hardcore man?
"Not really, sir. I am just a maid. It seems that the emperor has said a few extra words to me, but in fact, he is just kind-hearted. He is not showing any special care to me."
