Chapter 256 Imperial Concubine 3
The emperor's trusted eunuch accepted the order and left.
Consort Shu was overjoyed. She knew that there was only one Phoenix-Flying Crown in the world. Once it was given to her, the Noble Consort would no longer have one. If that woman found out, she would be furious!
She quickly placed a piece of venison on the Emperor's plate, saying, "Your Majesty, you are so kind to me. I will never cause you any more trouble in the future, and I will avoid the Imperial Concubine when I encounter her."
Emperor: Heh, do you even believe what you're saying?
If you could really do that, why would I bother sending you such a precious hair ornament?
Today's goal has been largely achieved; now it's time to enjoy it.
After the meal, the Emperor pressed Consort Shu onto the couch, and the two engaged in passionate lovemaking before falling asleep.
While the two were busy, Ning Yan was not idle either. She took out the invisibility talisman and the strength talisman she had drawn earlier, patted them on her body, and soon her figure disappeared in front of the desk.
As dusk settled and the night wind rustled, Gao Sheng, who had just finished his shift, hurried out of the palace.
Ning Yan also knew him; he was the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, and his father was the former commander of the Imperial Guards and is now the Minister of War.
Moreover, he is currently unmarried.
He was good-looking and tall and strong, so Ning Yan went straight up to him, knocked him unconscious, and carried him back to Weiyang Palace.
When Gao Sheng woke up, all he saw when he opened his eyes was the blue ceiling of the bed. He then turned his head and found a beautiful woman sitting next to him wearing only a nightgown.
Upon closer inspection, Gao Sheng was dumbfounded. "Your Highness, why am I with you?"
The Imperial Concubine is renowned for her beauty, known as the most beautiful woman in the capital. He had seen her once before she entered the palace at a banquet. He never expected that a few years later, the Concubine's beauty would surpass that of the past. No wonder the Emperor dotes on her so much. Who wouldn't love her?
"Sir, you should keep your voice down, it wouldn't be good if someone heard you."
Gao Sheng: ...So, how exactly did you manage to abduct me into your palace?
"Your Majesty, I must take my leave."
Ning Yan gave him a charming smile and took his large hand, which was resting outside the blanket, in her grasp. "Go? Where to?"
Gao Sheng swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing rapidly, and his body began to stir.
"Your Majesty, this...this is a capital offense! I...I cannot..."
Ning Yan reached out and gently stroked his body. Only then did Gao Sheng realize that he had already been stripped naked, until a certain part of his body was...
He immediately became obedient, his eyes red as if they were about to bleed, his fists clenched tightly, but in the end he couldn't hold back, he flipped over and pressed the person onto the bed, and he also pulled down the bed curtains.
People who practice martial arts year-round have extremely strong physical strength and energy. At first, Gao Sheng remembered not to make too much noise, otherwise their lives might be in danger. Later, Ning Yan told him with a smile that she had sent all the servants away so that no one would hear. Gao Sheng then stopped caring about anything.
He didn't stop until the fourth watch of the night, reluctantly, but his arms involuntarily tightened around the person in his arms. "I... I really have to go."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
"No need, it's almost time for court. I just need to pretend I just arrived."
Ning Yan was too sleepy to talk. Anyway, he knew the palace better than she did, so she didn't need to see him off.
"Um."
Gao Sheng dared not delay any longer. He quietly got out of bed, dressed, glanced at the person on the bed, and then quickly left.
The next day, the imperial concubines came to pay their respects again.
Ning Yan appeared in the main hall, her face rosy and her cheeks glowing with energy.
The concubines were furious. The Emperor had clearly stayed at the Brocade Palace last night, so why was this wretched woman able to sleep so soundly? They were angry all night long, and their faces looked terrible when they woke up in the morning. They couldn't even show their faces without applying powder.
"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."
"No need for formalities, please sit down and talk."
Everyone returned to their seats, and Consort Wan smiled and flattered, "Your Majesty is in such good spirits today, just like the newly blooming red plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden, a truly beautiful sight!"
Ning Yan touched her temples and smiled, "Really? Maybe it's because I rested well last night."
Guiling, give half a pound of the flower tea bags that the Emperor bestowed upon me, and let Consort Wan have a taste as well.
Consort Wan always fawned over the Noble Consort, which made Consort Shu and the other concubines very unhappy. Immediately, someone changed the subject and brought up Consort Shu's hair ornament, "Your Highness Consort Shu, the Phoenix and Phoenix Hair Ornament you are wearing today is so beautiful. Could it be a new gift from the Emperor?"
It is said that this hair ornament is extremely precious, and there is only one of its kind in the world. The Emperor is truly good to Consort Shu!
Consort Shu glanced smugly at the Noble Consort on the high seat, "These were bestowed by His Majesty yesterday. But no matter what I do, I can't compare to the Noble Consort's position in His Majesty's heart. His Majesty has given the Noble Consort far more good things than we have!"
"What Consort Shu said is right. The Emperor does treat me better than you. He even shows off a broken hair ornament in front of me. I have too many good things to wear."
"Flying Phoenix to the Phoenix Palace? You need to have the destiny of a phoenix to achieve that!"
Consort Shu's smile froze in anger. "Noble Consort, you..."
"She's already ugly, and then she has to keep that stiff face. It's just awful."
"Alright, you may all leave. I'm tired, so I won't keep you any longer."
Before Consort Shu could finish her sentence, it was all swallowed back down. The people on the high seat had already given them the order to leave, so they had no choice but to obediently bow and then leave the main hall.
Consort De secretly rejoiced at Consort Shu's humiliation. She disliked neither Consort Gui nor Consort Shu, and was delighted whenever anyone suffered a setback.
The harem needs to be lively, otherwise it's so boring every day.
Anyway, the emperor doesn't like her, so she's just a decoration in the harem. He'd love for these women to fight every day!
After leaving Weiyang Palace, Consort Shu angrily got into her sedan chair and ordered, "Hurry up, hurry up, I have a headache."
The eunuchs dared not utter a sound and carried the sedan chair away. However, for some reason, the chair suddenly swayed, and the four of them lost their balance. Under the watchful eyes of all the concubines, Consort Shu, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was thrown out in a spectacular fashion.
Everyone heard a loud bang, followed by Consort Shu and her bodyguard screaming, "Ah, my head!"
"Someone come quick! Consort Shu has kowtowed and hurt her head! Go and summon the imperial physician immediately!"
Chaos erupted outside Weiyang Palace. The concubines stopped making any moves and stayed to watch the spectacle. Consort Shu's hair was disheveled, and her supposedly unique phoenix headdress had been thrown away and was now lying quietly on the ground in pieces. Three red lines had slid down Consort Shu's forehead. Feeling unwell, Consort Shu reached out and touched her forehead, finding her hand covered in blood!
Then, Consort Shu fainted from the shock of her own blood!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please don't frighten me! Someone, please come quickly and fetch the imperial physician!"
"Yes, yes, the imperial physician should be here soon."
The eunuchs carrying the sedan chair felt that their lives were going to be difficult. They used to complain that this job was not easy, but now they probably wouldn't have the chance to complain anymore. So they knelt on the spot, their bodies weak, and they didn't even dare to beg for mercy.
Thank you Lily for the 1500 Qidian Coins!
