Chapter 268 Wei Yanwan 8
While Concubine Chun was looking for an opportunity, Wei Yanwan finally started to use the good things she had stored in the system.
This was her first time getting a chance at this kind of tiankeng. Previously, she'd only dared to use spiritual spring water to dilute it and improve her health. She'd been planning for so long, trying her best to be humble and modest in every encounter, and now, she'd finally reached this point. She couldn't let this happen.
She had no opinion on how Emperor Hongli performed politically, but when it came to women, Wei Yanwan only saw two words: artificial.
He is a typical man who wants it all. Deep down, he likes women who are promiscuous in bed and beautiful outside of it. He will not let go of either the appearance or the inside.
In short, beautiful appearance comes first, and open cheese comes second. With these two, you can gain enough favor in the early stage.
As for the development of one's personality in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, knowledge and interests, these are not what one deserves now.
After a month of this, Concubine Chun, who could no longer sit still, finally made up her mind to push Wei Yanwan out.
Early that morning, just after Hongli finished his morning court session, he heard Jinzhong report, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun has sent someone to give you some ginseng soup."
"Why is she bringing soup at this hour?" Hongli paused, holding the scroll in his hand. He was very dissatisfied with Concubine Chun's behavior, which was not in line with the principles of health preservation and palace rules. But after thinking it over, he gave her face: "Forget it, have someone bring it in."
After saying that, he threw himself into the book.
"Your servant pays homage to His Majesty."
The soft and melodious voice, due to the other person's unique pronunciation and breath, always inexplicably has a sense of tenderness and sigh. Hongli's fingers moved slightly, and when he looked up, an ambiguous smile appeared on his face.
"So it's you, come here."
Wei Yanwan slowly stood up, set the food box aside, and took out a bowl of ginseng soup and handed it to the emperor. "This is the ginseng soup that Concubine Chun specially ordered the kitchen to make. She said that the emperor had been busy at court this morning, and drinking this soup will help him strengthen his body and replenish his energy."
Hongli took the ginseng soup from her hand, his fingertips touching it before withdrawing it. The instant warmth and smoothness of it captivated him. Wei Yanwan's face showed no extra emotion. She waited for him to take it, then bowed and left.
Jinzhong, who was guarding the door, escorted her out, and the two of them walked down the deserted corridor. A defiant smile appeared on the man's feminine face, and he deliberately took a step forward, entering a distance that shouldn't be touched by strangers.
"You are really good at tricking people. Even Concubine Chun and the Emperor were deceived by you."
Wei Yanwan had no choice but to raise her head and look up at Jinzhong's sharp features. However, her expression was no longer as indifferent as when she was facing the emperor. Instead, she smiled a smile that could be described as gorgeous: "Eunuch Jinzhong's words seem to want to stay out of this matter and abandon Yanwan casually."
As the girl spoke, she took a step forward, almost touching him. Jinzhong even suspected he could hear the rubbing of their clothes, and subconsciously took a half step back.
"My dear ancestor, how could I dare abandon you? You can even manipulate the masters of this palace, let alone my worthless life. I am in your hands and can do whatever you want."
Jinzhong lowered his head, acting docilely like a good dog.
Wei Yanwan thought so and acted accordingly. She raised her right hand and caressed Jinzhong's cold face. As soon as her warm fingers touched, both of them shuddered subconsciously.
"Those who serve the Emperor are bound by their words and would not deceive a humble maid like me who has no one to rely on."
"You are wrong," Jinzhong held Yanwan's right hand with one hand, and rubbed her slightly cool fingertips with his thumb while turning it over, and his hot body temperature was transmitted from there.
His usual fawning smile appeared on his face again. "Everyone knows that eunuchs are the most untrustworthy and shameless people in the world. Girl, please keep your eyes open and don't fall for their tricks. You'll end up getting chewed to pieces and swallowed with blood."
[Tsk tsk tsk, this guy, even though his tools were confiscated, speaks without restraint, chewing bones and swallowing blood. If he has this ability, I really don't mind having a child with him.]
Wei Yanwan heard his last sentence sound like he was going to eat someone, and she burst out laughing: "Don't be afraid of knocking your teeth, just chew it."
Jinzhong was overcome by her laughter. He wanted to get angry but was afraid she would be upset. He wanted to walk away but couldn't bear to. His usual smooth talk and silly ways were completely useless against her. He was like a lump of mud, allowing her to roll him into a ball and flatten him.
"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. Today is a good day, so remember to remind the Emperor for me."
Wei Yanwan took a step back, and the two of them looked at each other clearly again. Jinzhong didn't know what to feel after hearing her words. He smacked his lips twice and then smiled:
"Don't worry, I've always done what you asked me to do. Besides, the Emperor has clearly set his sights on you this time. I'm afraid you can accomplish your goal without me."
"Eunuch Jinzhong, you are being too modest. How could Yanwan not need you?"
Wei Yanwan straightened her collar and turned to leave. A single sentence drifted across the cold wind: "Even in death, your life must be used by me."
Jinzhong twisted his fingers and stood silently under the palace wall until the beautiful figure gradually disappeared from his sight.
"……Oh".
As night fell, Concubine Chun felt restless. She kept looking towards the door, feeling lost and uneasy. She could only pull Kexin aside and ask, "Isn't my attire ugly? Do you think the Emperor has changed?"
"No, sir. Li Yu just said it himself. The emperor will definitely come. You are dressed so beautifully today. The emperor will definitely like it."
"That's good... Oh, do you think I won't say anything wrong later? What if the emperor gets mad at me again and leaves?"
Before Concubine Chun could take Ke Xin to rehearse her speech, the emperor had already arrived.
Concubine Chun had no choice but to go forward and greet him, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Get up," Hongli walked in with a good mood. Concubine Chun quickly followed him into the inner room and served tea and water. Her cautious appearance made Hongli frown: "Are you afraid of me?"
"Your Majesty, I am just afraid of making you angry." Concubine Chun raised her eyes and carefully placed the tea in front of him.
"Forget it, as a mother, I won't be angry with you for this matter." Hongli finally gave her this face and took a symbolic sip of the tea:
"But Concubine Chun, you are now the head of the imperial consorts, and you have two princes under your knees. You must be more cautious in your words and actions. Do you understand?"
"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty."
