Qifei could hardly believe her ears. What had she just heard?
Did the emperor keep a mistress?
It feels like a joke.
Shouldn't the emperor simply bring any woman he fancys into the palace? How could he allow his own woman to live outside?
"That's why they say someone can be a reliable backer."
Shura smiled slightly and poured Qifei a glass of water.
"Lady Chang Le was a very legendary person."
The emperor had previously wanted to bring her into the palace and bestow upon her the title of Imperial Concubine, but she refused.
Later, she declared that if the emperor wanted to find her, he should come to the palace to look for her.
You are welcome to come anytime, but you will never be allowed into the palace.
"Such boldness? Did the Emperor agree?"
Qi Fei looked at Xiu Luo with curiosity. She didn't expect that a woman in this era could resist the temptation of entering the palace.
Entering the palace was a common desire for many women, even though they knew it was a place where people would devour them without a trace.
They all harbored illusions, hoping that if they were favored, they might rise to prominence and become a phoenix.
Within this small, enclosed city, how many young girls' dreams have been buried?
Lady Chang Le was so bold as to refuse this temptation and prefer to become the emperor's mistress.
I must say, this is something that Qifei really admires.
Her decision will definitely leave a lasting impression on the emperor.
Completely different from other women, although it sounds unconventional, she undoubtedly succeeded in doing so.
Currently, it appears that the emperor completely indulges and spoils his children.
At least Lady Chang Le's actions were successful, and the emperor was willing to pay for them.
Perhaps this wouldn't work for others; after all, the only successful example is Lady Chang Le herself.
"Of course, otherwise there wouldn't be the current Lady Chang Le."
When people talk about Lady Chang Le, no one dares to say a bad word about her.
Her talent is undeniable, and given that she is under the protection of the current emperor, who would dare to say a word against her?

The most common question heard in Beijing lately is, "Have you been to Linglong Pavilion yet?"
Linglong Pavilion is a recently popular shop where everything is adorable, even the boxes for rouge and face powder are exceptionally cute.
Most importantly, the prices here are very reasonable, and young girls can easily spend all their monthly allowance in a short time.
For a time, Linglong Pavilion became very famous among unmarried young women.
Linglongge also offers bedding with cute patterns. Customers can order custom-made bedding or buy ready-made bedding directly from the store.
Most are universal sizes and can be used.
If you order a custom-made item, you'll also receive an extra cushion.
They also sell cushions in stores, but they cost quite a bit of money each.
Many people naturally thought that if they could get a good deal, they would be happy to take advantage of it and immediately requested to order a custom-made product.
Materials are categorized into high, medium, and low grades, naturally ranging from good to bad.
This perfectly meets the needs of customers at different price points.
At the same time, Xiuchun Pavilion also endorsed it.
All VIPs of Xiuchun Pavilion will receive a discount card for Linglong Pavilion after making a purchase.
You'll receive a discount when you make a purchase in-store.
Those who are curious will go and see what Linglong Pavilion is.
Once inside, no woman ever leaves empty-handed.
Moreover, shopping here is very comfortable; you can carry your own small bamboo basket and put whatever you want in it.
Everything has a clearly marked price.
This leads many young girls to look at the prices and silently calculate how much they can buy with their monthly allowance.
Across from Linglong Pavilion, in a teahouse, Qi Fei smiled and poured herself a glass of water. "Thanks to your kindness, Madam, Linglong Pavilion was able to open smoothly."
Lady Chang Le glanced at Qi Fei with a half-smile, then leaned back lazily in her chair.
"I'm also curious, what's the matter that the owner of Xiuchun Pavilion, which is so popular in Chang'an, suddenly came to my door?"
Even without me, your business could still succeed.
"You've given me so many shares for free, are you really willing to accept that?"
"Madam, what are you saying? We hit it off immediately."
To be honest, I've never cared about doing business.
Even if I don't do this business, my dowry will be enough for me to live on.
However, my father insisted on seeing if I was suited to do business.
Businessmen, after all, always hope their children can inherit something from them.
Qi Fei smiled innocently, "I like Madam, and firstly, I do want Madam to stand up for me."
Secondly, making friends with countless women is their dream, and if I can achieve that, I will certainly offer my sincere feelings.
Seeing how frank Qifei was, Madam Changle couldn't help but laugh. "I heard that something happened at your Xiuchun Pavilion some time ago?"
When people came knocking, Madam Chang Le wasn't naive; naturally, someone would thoroughly investigate Qi Fei's background and present it to her.
Lady Chang Le was indeed very curious as to why Qi Fei had found her.
This girl is quite straightforward; she frankly admits that she's looking for a powerful backer.
Lady Chang Le originally intended to ignore people like that.
However, Qifei didn't come empty-handed. She brought along the items that the new store would be launching, along with a gift box from Xiuchun Pavilion, and presented them to her.
Women have absolutely no resistance to cute and adorable things.
Even someone like Lady Chang Le couldn't help but soften her heart upon seeing these things.
She was somewhat surprised when she saw Qifei.
She never expected that the owner of Xiuchun Pavilion would be so stunningly beautiful.
In terms of looks, she is already among the top tier; every smile and frown of hers can make men's bones go weak.
This is why the emperor indulged her so much.
She was like a rare beauty, making one want to hold her in their hands and play with her.
Even if she just sits there expressionless, people are afraid she's in a bad mood and try their best to cheer her up, just to make her smile.
A beauty like Qifei is rare indeed, but it's a pity she's already married.
"You actually have a child?" Madam Chang Le couldn't help but ask, looking at Qi Fei's slender waist.
Women often experience changes in their body shape after giving birth.
Whether someone has had children or not is still quite obvious.
Women who have given birth have visibly opened pelvises.
But Qifei looks fine; she doesn't look like she's ever had a child.
A hint of melancholy appeared on Madam Chang Le's face; the older a woman gets, the more she feels that her children are her only support.
Men can never be relied upon, especially the emperor's favor.
New lovers never hear the cries of old lovers. If you want to be pampered by one person for a lifetime, you might as well consider leaving yourself a way out.
Lady Chang Le had never conceived, and when their love was at its peak, the emperor had hoped that she would give birth to their child.
Unfortunately, Lady Chang Le remained perfectly lucid throughout.
Women who have given birth are completely different from women who have not.
Although that's what the emperor said, she always managed to understand his thoughts perfectly.
He still hoped she would stay that way; having a child meant her heart was no longer pure.
In the emperor's mind, Lady Chang Le had always remained aloof and did not participate in the palace intrigues.
This is his only sanctuary.
If Lady Chang Le had a child, it would actually be a difficult situation for him.
