Chapter 6: Sleeping with the Emperor (1)
The Second Prince had a fever last night, and Concubine Zhengui stayed up all night, so she didn't go to pay her respects today. When Concubine Shen arrived at Fuyao Palace, Concubine Zhengui was still resting in the hall.
In order to leave a good impression on Concubine Zhengui, Concubine Shen quietly went to the side hall to wait.
This wait lasted two hours.
Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Concubine Zhengui still hadn't summoned her. Concubine Shen couldn't help but feel anxious. She asked the palace maid who served tea, "Has the queen not gotten up yet?"
The maid shook her head and said, "My lady, the queen hasn't gotten up yet."
After saying that, he retreated.
Arriving at the small kitchen, she complained to the other maids, "Still waiting. It's been almost two hours, and I've already served tea four or five times."
"The Second Prince's fever only subsided at 9:00 AM. Does she think we're lying to her?"
Linglong came to the kitchen and heard the servants talking, and coughed.
The palace maids all shut up and started working.
"Miss Shen is still here?"
The palace maid replied, "Concubine Shen is still waiting in the side hall."
Linglong nodded and said sternly, "The queen has woken up and wants to drink some Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. Hurry up. Talk less and do more."
After saying that, he returned to the hall.
Linglong was dressing Concubine Zhengui and mentioned, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen has been waiting in the side hall for almost two hours."
Concubine Zhengui rubbed her temples without opening her eyes: "What is she doing here?"
"Concubine Shen said she came to pay her respects to the Empress. Knowing that the Second Prince was ill, she wanted to give him the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum she brought from home." Linglong paused. "But I heard that after the greetings were over, Concubine Shen made overtures to Concubine Wan but was rejected..."
Even Linglong was speechless. Having just been rejected by Concubine Wan, he now came to her Madam. Could it be that Madam was the one who could take over? This was truly disrespectful to Madam.
"Jing Shi is just having a fever. Who is this hundred-year-old Lingzhi cursing?"
Concubine Zhengui subconsciously tutted her lips, a trace of slight irritation creeping up her brows, her tone slightly colder: "I remember she was a princess, she was born so stupid, is there no one left in the Shen family? Send her to the palace."
Linglong said appropriately, "She's quite clueless. Your Majesty, please don't bother with her."
"Jing Shi only has a minor illness and doesn't need Lingzhi. Tell her to take it back."
"Tell her to copy ten more copies of the palace rules."
After guarding the Second Prince for a whole night and then encountering this kind of thing, even a person with a good temper would not be able to help but get angry.
"Yes, my lady."
Concubine Shen finally waited for Linglong to arrive, but Concubine Zhengui was nowhere to be found. Without much suspicion, she asked, "Has the Empress summoned me?"
Linglong shook her head: "Your Majesty is not feeling well today and cannot see guests. My lady should return to the palace first."
Lady Shen suddenly felt depressed: "Is that so..."
She wasted the whole morning...
It’s inconvenient to meet guests. Why didn’t you say so earlier?
Linglong smiled, but her smile was not at all: "The Queen also said that since you have just entered the palace, you don't seem to understand the rules. Please copy the palace rules ten times after you go back to familiarize yourself with them."
Lady Shen was stunned.
She has been following the rules since she entered the palace. She knew there was nothing she didn't know about the etiquette. She came to pay her respects and waited in the side hall for the whole morning. Knowing that the second prince was ill, she brought the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum from home.
What did I do wrong that I need to copy the palace rules?
Linglong added, "Your Majesty is also doing this for my good. I think you should understand your good intentions, right?"
Lady Shen forced a smile: "Of course."
"Then... thank the queen for me." Lady Shen said this almost gritting her teeth.
In Lady Shen's heart, Concubine Zhengui has replaced Concubine Wan and become the person she hates the most.
Concubine Wan mocked her, saying that at least few people knew about it.
But she was punished to copy the palace rules, and the whole harem would know about it. She waited for nearly two hours with a very good attitude, but in return she was told: "You don't know the rules."
Concubine Zhengui is indeed as jealous as the rumors say.
In a blink of an eye, it was night.
Wen Wanyu also knew that she would be serving him in bed tonight. To be honest, it wasn't surprising at all...it was even expected.
Bai Su, Qing Dai, and Si Yun were extremely happy to hear that she was going to sleep with them. On the other hand, she didn't feel the slightest bit of surprise or joy.
Qingdai swallowed and asked, "Master, are you...are you unhappy?"
Hearing this, Wen Wanyu laughed awkwardly twice: "Happy. Really happy."
Indigo/Cloud-like: "..."
The master's smile is too fake.
Bai Su is five years older than Wen Wanyu. She has always followed Wen Wanyu and knows her habits very well. Sometimes she feels helpless about her straightforwardness.
He said to Qingdai and Siyun, "You two go down and prepare first."
The door was closed, and Bai Sukupo said with a guilty conscience, "Master, you should show more excitement. If someone with ulterior motives saw you, they might think you don't want to sleep with me. I'm afraid they'll start gossiping again."
"No, no, sorry. No, I get it." Wen Wanyu almost bit her tongue.
Then he held his face in his hands in self-abandonment: "Bai Su, I'm too nervous."
Bai Su coughed lightly, her eyes wandering. Although she was five years older than Wen Wanyu, she was also a girl who had never experienced anything between men and women.
"My lady, no, haven't you seen pornographic pictures?"
The implication is, even if you haven't eaten pork, have you seen a pig run?
Wen Wanyu was quiet for a while: "...It's different."
She had seen pornographic pictures, posts, and even larger-scale videos, not to mention pornographic pictures. But when it came time to experience it herself, she felt incredibly nervous.
After bathing, Wen Wanyu chose a peach blossom mist gauze dress. She was covered with pink peach gauze, which made her shoulders look as if she had cut into a waist as if she had been slender.
She is charming and graceful, and very beautiful.
Her long black hair casually fluttered over her shoulders, and she had tied her hair into a delicate bun, with a small hairpin with a white tassel, a color similar to a suet crabapple.
It is painted on the black hair like a picture.
Bai Su couldn't help but sigh: "The young lady is so beautiful."
Wen Wanyu smiled: "Bai Su is also beautiful."
…
Chengqian Palace
Li Dexian said, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince's cold has improved."
Xie Junyao hummed, "Jing Shi's health is indeed not very good."
Glancing at Li Dexian still beside him, he looked as if he was about to speak but hesitated, and asked, "What else?"
Li Dexian: "The Imperial Concubine punished Concubine Shen by making her copy the palace rules ten times. I heard that Concubine Shen is ill..."
Li Dexian muttered to himself: This Concubine Shen is truly stupid. After failing to curry favor with Concubine Wan, she now tries to curry favor with the Imperial Concubine. Everyone knows that the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Wan don't get along. She's been punished to copy the palace rules, but she refuses to obey, groaning without pain. This has truly offended the Imperial Concubine.
Xie Junyao was helpless. Concubine Shen was the only daughter of the Minister of Revenue, who had just made a great contribution at the beginning of the year. Although he also thought she was foolish, he probably had to visit her again for the sake of the Minister.
Xie Junyao asked, "Who will sleep with me tonight?"
"Your Majesty, it's Consort Wen."
Xie Junyao said "hmm".
Li Dexian felt sorry for Wen Wanyu: "Ms. Wen has suffered such an unexpected disaster. I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep with you tonight."
Just as I finished sighing for Wen Wanyu, I heard Xie Junyao's voice: "Tomorrow, remember to remind me to go see Lady Shen."
"yes."
So Wen Cairen will still sleep with you tonight?
Miracle.
"Tell the imperial concubine not to overwork herself. I will go see her tomorrow."
"yes."
Xie Junyao couldn't help but look up at him, and said in a light tone: "What are you thinking about?"
Li Dexian was so frightened that he suddenly came to his senses and smiled flatteringly: "No, I'm not thinking about anything."
