Chapter 246: Some Skill
In fact, she didn't want to, but although Emperor Shunguang was handsome, he was not her type.
Originally, she had her eyes on the man named Tuoba from Western Xia, but that guy didn't seem to be smart enough. She was thinking of observing him for two more days, or just making do with him, but the imperial edict came down first, and she couldn't make the deal happen. What a pity.
It was such a waste of the drugs she extorted from the Goryeo princess.
Mianmian had no idea what her princess's original plan was, but just hearing what she just said made her feel like the sky was falling.
"Princess, how can you give birth to the little prince if you don't sleep with me?"
She didn't have the ability to help her princess steal one from somewhere else.
Aida deliberately teased her: "I can have a baby with you."
Mianmian blushed and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, mother said that women can't have children with each other."
Aida lowered his voice seriously: "Actually, I am a man."
Mianmian was stunned, her eyes falling on the turbulent rise and fall of her chest. Can a man be like this?
"Pfft!" Seeing her dumbfounded expression, Aidar couldn't help but burst out laughing, rubbing his stomach. "Hahahaha, silly Mianmian, you really believed that?"
Mianmian's cheeks gradually turned red, and she shouted angrily with red ears: "Princess!"
Don't be so deceiving!
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't be angry." Aidal finally stopped laughing and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
She said sternly, "In short, from now on, don't keep an eye on where the emperor goes today or tomorrow. When it's sunny, just bask in the sun and stroll in the garden. When it rains or snows, just play inside. Let's live our own lives behind closed doors. With me here, no one will bully you."
"But..." Mianmian felt something was wrong. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered something. "I heard that the concubines in the harem of Dasheng who were not favored had a miserable life. They couldn't even have a full meal. I don't want the princess to go hungry."
"Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let you go hungry." Aidal crushed a bone with a "crack". If he didn't give it to her, she could rob him. At worst, she could steal him. There are always more solutions than problems.
Mianmian looked at her with a frown. Could it be that the princess wanted to treat the imperial kitchen as her own home again?

At the same time, in Zhaiyuetang.
"Master, since Concubine Xie is injured, that method may not work." Xiao Fuzi frowned, worried.
"That idiot, why did he get hurt at this time?" Concubine Shen was so angry that she grabbed the quilt and coughed twice.
Wenxiang came in with medicine, "Master, it's time to take the medicine."
"I don't want to drink it." Concubine Chen raised her hand and pushed the medicine bowl away in annoyance. If Wenxiang hadn't held it steadily, it would probably have shattered into pieces on the ground.
Wenxiang placed the medicine bowl on the small table next to her and gently advised, "The imperial physician instructed that this medicine must be taken while it's hot. No matter how upset you are, don't be hard on yourself. When you recover, you can do whatever you want."
All the preparations that Concubine Chen had made in a moment of anger were wasted. After Jing Wenxiang's persuasion, she felt a little better and took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Wenxiang brought her tea in time to rinse her mouth.
Concubine Shen patted her chest and asked, "Which palace did your majesty go to tonight?"
Wenxiang pursed her lips and looked up at her carefully, "Your Majesty has gone to Yaohua Palace."
Concubine Shen's face darkened as she asked, "Are you going to see Shao Liyi again?"
Wenxiang replied softly, "Yes."
There were originally four masters living in Yaohua Palace, namely Concubine Yun in the main hall, Concubine Xiao in Feiyu Hall, Concubine Bao in Luomeiju and Concubine Pan in Jiangyun Garden.
Concubine Xiao made a mistake and was beaten to death, Concubine Yun was demoted to a talented woman and sent to the cold palace, and Shao Liyi moved into the main palace, so there were only three masters left in Yaohua Palace.
Both Concubine Bao and Concubine Pan were out of favor, so the emperor could only go to Yaohua Palace to find Shao Liyi.
Concubine Shen frowned and asked, "Since Shao Liyi entered the palace, has Your Majesty only turned over her card?"
Wenxiang nodded cautiously.
Not counting the time when His Majesty was summoned to the Yangxin Palace, His Majesty has been to the harem three times in total, and each time was to see Shao Liyi.
Countless people secretly cursed Shao Liyi as a vixen, but His Majesty protected her closely and gave her endless rewards, much like he did when he favored Concubine Wen.
"She won over His Majesty so quickly and made His Majesty favor her exclusively. She is worthy of being a princess of a country. She really has some abilities." Concubine Chen said this with gritted teeth.
When she first heard about Shao Li's beauty, she didn't take it seriously. After all, there was no shortage of beautiful women in the harem. Hadn't a beauty like Dou Jingwan, who was so stunningly beautiful, failed to attract the emperor's attention?
What's more, she is a princess from a foreign country. Even if His Majesty likes her very much, he can only treat her as a toy.
But judging from the current situation, His Majesty has obviously taken a fancy to Shao Liyi. If he does not find a way to suppress her before she has a firm foothold, she will become a big problem in the future.
Concubine Shen thought for a moment and asked Xiao Fuzi, "What rumors are there in the harem about Shao Liyi?"
Xiao Fuzi recalled and said that it was nothing more than talking about how beautiful Shao Liyi was, how favored she was, and how many palace ladies rushed to curry favor with her.
The more Concubine Chen listened, the more she frowned. She asked, "What's the news from Yaohua Palace?"
"No." Xiao Fuzi shook her head. "The Empress couldn't find a suitable person to teach the rules of Shao Liyi Palace. After reporting this to His Majesty, His Majesty ordered that Nanny Duan be transferred to Yaohua Palace."
"Madame Duan?" Concubine Shen was startled. "Is this the Madame Duan who served Concubine Chunhui?"
Concubine Chunhui was the biological mother of Prince Rui. She died of illness in the second year of Shunguang. Prince Rui was so sad that he almost died with her. He recuperated in the palace for nearly a year before he recovered. It was at that time that he suddenly wanted to travel.
"That's right," Xiao Fuzi said. "Madame Duan is good at disciplining people. The people in Yaohua Palace are very tight-lipped and don't reveal any information. She even found a reason to drive out the people we planted in the palace."
Concubine Shen was angry: "Such important news, why are you telling it now?"
"Master, please forgive me." Xiao Fuzi knelt down. "You are still ill, so it is not appropriate to get angry. I am worried that I might upset you, so..."
He kowtowed and said, "Please forgive me, Master. I will never do it again."
Concubine Chen stared at him gravely, while Wenxiang advised, "Master, Xiao Fuzi is also loyal. Please let him go this time."
Concubine Chen glanced at her and Wenxiang winked at her.
Now that the master has fallen from power, he has few people available to him, and this little Fuzi is really good at gathering information.
Concubine Chen understood what she meant, but she couldn't just let it go like that. Otherwise, wouldn't anyone be able to make decisions for her without her permission?
She said coldly, "Go get ten lashes to teach you a lesson. If you dare to lie again, you will be severely punished."
Xiao Fuzi hurriedly said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. I won't dare to do it again."
"Get up." Concubine Shen slowed down her voice. "I see how hard you work, and I don't want to punish you, but there's no order without rules. Do you understand?"
"I won't bother you." Xiao Fuzi got up and said obediently, "I will not let my master down."
Concubine Shen nodded and instructed softly, "Think of a way to find out the news about Yaohua Palace. Do your best, but don't put yourself in danger."
"I obey your command." Xiao Fuzi bowed and waited for a while. Seeing that Concubine Chen had no other instructions, she went out to accept the punishment.
The door was closed, and Wenxiang draped a piece of clothing over Concubine Shen's shoulders. Concubine Shen leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words to her.
Wenxiang's expression changed slightly, and she nodded: "I've made a note of this, and will do it tomorrow."
