"After using Granny Liu, Consort Wan planned to kill her to silence her. Unexpectedly, Granny Liu's heart was different from others', allowing her to avoid the fatal blow."
"Lord Qin thought that Granny Liu would be of great use in the future, so he rescued her."
Fu Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Later, you should tell Qin Zhaochuan to take good care of Granny Liu."
"Yes, I've made note of it."
Peirong struck while the iron was hot and said, "Your Majesty, since we already know that Concubine Wan is faking her pregnancy to win favor, and now that Granny Liu is in our hands, why don't we just tell the Emperor directly?"
Fu Qianyu smiled faintly: "The emperor has been doting on Concubine Rou recently. Although he often comes to our place, I can feel that the emperor treats me differently than before. We are still in the palace. If I rashly tell the emperor everything, won't he become suspicious? Even if we want to tell him, it shouldn't come from our mouths."
"Then, are you going to let her go for nothing?"
Lingyun saw through her master's thoughts. She raised her hand and tapped Peirong's forehead, saying with a smile, "You, you only know how to act recklessly. Think about it, who in this palace hates Wan Zhaoyi the most?"
Peirong stroked her forehead and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, an epiphany struck her. "It's Lady Wei!"
"That's right. Concubine Wei is from Concubine Wan's palace. Before, Concubine Wei was favored, and Concubine Wan was often looked down upon. She was even subjected to all kinds of humiliation in private. If she knew that Concubine Wan's pregnancy was faked, and there was even the most powerful eyewitness, she would definitely crush her to death."
Peirong smiled happily, but then her face fell again. "But didn't we tell Concubine Wei that Wan Zhaoyi was faking her pregnancy? Now that she's given birth, isn't there anything she can do? Can she do anything?"
"We'll know whether it works or not after a while."
On the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, the palace was bustling with activity. Beauties competed with each other for beauty, and some were more beautiful than flowers.
But the most dazzling one is Concubine Mi.
She wore a complete set of gold filigree and South China pearl headpiece, and her body was made of pearl gauze that had just been tributed from Jiangnan at the beginning of this spring. The peonies on it were embroidered with gold and silver threads, and they sparkled even in the moonlight.
Concubine Mi was already quite beautiful. With her around, no matter how the other concubines dressed up, they could not surpass her in appearance.
In contrast, Fu Qianyu is much more casual.
The lavender dress complements her face, making her look both dignified and elegant. Two phoenix-tail hairpins holding rubies are inserted in her hair. Although simple, they add a bit of the aura of a mother of the country.
Silk, bamboo, crescent moon, and fluttering sleeves.
Because Zhao Yuancheng had not arrived yet, everyone was in a bad mood.
Fu Qianyu didn't care and just focused on watching the beauty dance.
Half a cup of tea later, the emperor finally arrived. Everyone quickly cheered up and put away their previous sad expressions.
"Greetings to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
Because it was a family dinner, Zhao Yuancheng did not wear the imperial robe, but just a casual dress of light purple embroidered with sea and river cliff patterns. He lost the majesty of the emperor, but seemed more approachable.
Zhao Yuancheng walked past the crowd and approached Fu Qianyu. He raised his hand to help her up. He looked at the clothes in front of him and smiled slightly: "Yu'er's clothes today are very suitable for me."
Fu Qianyu smiled: "If the emperor likes it, it is a blessing for this dress."
After being helped to sit down, Zhao Yuancheng waved his hand to signal everyone to excuse themselves.
After getting up, Concubine Mi smiled sweetly and said to Zhao Yuancheng, "Today is Qixi Festival, the flowers are in full bloom and the moon is full. I thought the emperor would not come tonight."
Zhao Yuancheng was quite patient and explained with a smile: "Tonight's Qixi dinner was organized by the Imperial Concubine. How could I not attend?"
Concubine Mi picked up the wine glass in front of her and smiled softly: "I know that the emperor loves the imperial concubine, but you are late after all. You should punish yourself with a drink."
It was rare that Zhao Yuancheng was in a good mood tonight, so he followed Mi Fei's advice and punished himself with a drink.
Seeing this, the others also urged him to drink.
After drinking several cups in a row, he waved his hand and said he couldn't drink anymore. The atmosphere at the banquet was very good. Fu Qianyu took the opportunity to say, "Tonight, the performances are all prepared by the sisters themselves. Is the emperor interested in watching it?"
Finally, we got to the point. Everyone looked at Zhao Yuancheng with anticipation on their faces.
Zhao Yuancheng didn't want to spoil everyone's fun. He shook Fu Qianyu's hand and said, "It's rare that we have some free time today, so let's have some fun together."
This is the promise.
Fu Qianyu smiled slightly and winked at Lingyun behind her.
Lingyun understood and clapped her hands lightly, and the string music outside changed its tune, becoming so soft that it seemed as if she was in the water village of Jiangnan.
Not long after, a woman in pink palace dress walked in from outside. The woman was holding a lotus flower in her hand, with her red lips raised, looking playful and cute.
As soon as she appeared, she attracted Zhao Yuancheng's attention.
Zhao Yuancheng's eyes were filled with admiration, but he couldn't recall who the person in front of him was. Fu Qianyu bowed slightly and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is the daughter of Sixth Rank Chai, named Cui Yong'er. She entered the palace two years ago. You made her a beauty and she lives in Zilingxuan."
After being reminded like this, Zhao Yuancheng suddenly had some impressions in his mind. He remembered that the person in front of him was very timid, and he was not a big beast, but he was scared to faint.
From then on, he never summoned her again.
But the person dancing in front of me today is completely different from the one that night.
Every frown and smile reveals her playfulness and cuteness.
Fu Qianyu secretly observed the emperor's expression and saw the distracted look in her eyes, and she knew that Cui Yong'er had caught his eye.
Being in the harem, every step you take is like walking on thin ice.
Instead of fighting alone, it is better to use this opportunity to cultivate confidants. People like Cui Yonger, who have a humble family background and no favors, are the easiest to control.
