After Hongyue left, Tang Wan picked up the tall wine glass, stared at it intently, and her face flushed.
The crystal clear wine flowed down her fair chin, across her neck, and gradually disappeared into her collar.
The expression on her face was a little confused. Was she drunk?
She couldn't remember how much she drank.
Her white fingertips held the golden wine glass, she looked at the wine and suddenly laughed out loud.
She poured the wine on herself, and the strong aroma of wine immediately spread in the air.
She was in the inner hall, wearing very thin clothes. After drinking a glass of wine, large areas of her clothes were wet, revealing her beauty.
You can vaguely see the skin that is white to pink and the raised peaks inside.
The laughter was like a silver bell, spreading in the empty hall, beautiful yet lonely.
There was a slight noise coming from the tiles on the roof. She heard it but pretended not to know.
"It's fake, all of it is fake."
"Love is fake too."
A bewitching smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, like an naive elf from the mountains who suddenly fell into the mortal world, her whole body stained with lust.
She is pure and sexy, and can be said to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
There was no movement on the beam. She probably went back to report. She rubbed her fingers and concealed the emotion in her eyes.
Of course the show has to go on, but who knows, will anyone keep coming back?
…………
The wind direction in the harem always changes quickly, and the news of her demotion quickly spread throughout the harem.
Concubine Nuan, who was once the apple of His Majesty's eye, was demoted two levels and had her title taken away. It was extremely shameful.
Several high-ranking concubines did not feel much. After all, they had no feelings for the emperor and Concubine Nuan, so there was no question of gloating.
But the concubines of lower status were extremely happy.
Although His Majesty is unable to give birth, being unable to give birth and not being favored are two different things. They also have to rely on favor to survive.
Otherwise, how could they survive in this harem with neither favor nor power?
Concubine Shu held Concubine Ning's hand, her eyes filled with anxiety. "Sister, why would His Majesty suddenly demote Concubine Tang?"
Concubine Ning's beautiful eyes revealed confusion. "I don't know much about this either, but I remember that she seemed to be very favored by His Majesty. She doesn't have a powerful maternal family, so she wouldn't be feared. Why would His Majesty demote her?"
"Could it be..." She hesitated, not knowing whether she should talk about this topic.
"What?" Concubine Shu blinked curiously.
"I suspect she has touched His Majesty's reverse scale."
"Are you talking about that thing?" Shufei's face also became serious, and she held her hand tightly.
Concubine Ning's expression was solemn. "That's right. Those two people refer to the taboos that cannot be mentioned in the harem. If she has made this mistake, then it seems there is nothing wrong with Your Majesty banishing her."
Concubine Shu sighed, "She's quite pitiful. She was originally married off to a foreign country and has no roots in the harem. Naturally, no one would tell her these things."
There was a look of regret on her face. Alas, such a beautiful woman might disappear from the public eye from now on.
"You like her very much?" For some reason, she actually heard a hint of anger in Concubine Ning's tone.
She smiled and pulled her hand: "My dear sister, I'm afraid that the palace servants outside the palace can smell the jealous smell on you."
"You are always teasing me." Although she said so, her expression was obviously much better. It was obvious that what Concubine Shu said touched her heart.
When Tang Wan woke up, her throat was terribly dry and itchy. She looked at the bruises on her wrists and understood what was going on.
Although she had no memory of last night, it was obvious that someone had been there.
Shen Xiaohan, you won’t keep pushing me away.
"Hongyue, pour me a glass of water."
"Your Majesty, please don't drink so much next time." Hongyue's eyes were full of worry.
"Okay, okay, I won't drink so much next time. I'll drink fruit wine instead of such strong alcohol."
"Your Majesty, please keep your word. No matter what, you shouldn't use your body to hurt yourself."
Tang Wan smiled: "When did I get angry?" She was greedy for wine for one reason, and secondly, she wanted to make Shen Xiaohan feel distressed.
Let him think that she is deeply in love with him, and that what she said last night was not in vain.
Last night, she poured out her heart to the air, without showing any dissatisfaction with her demotion. She just said that she was sad that Shen Xiaohan pushed her away.
She has never acted before, but the effect must be good, otherwise she wouldn't have so many marks on her body, and she wouldn't have woken up in bed.
After all, she had ordered yesterday that no one was allowed to come in, so the only one who could come in openly was His Majesty.
Hong Yue's tone was sour: "Your Majesty, His Majesty demoted you for no reason. Your Majesty, I know you love His Majesty, but you can't treat yourself like this."
After all, no matter what time, your body is your own, and you have to bear the pain by yourself.
Tang Wan rubbed her head: "Silly Hongyue, I'm really just greedy, not trapped by love, you can rest assured."
Hongyue lowered her head and said, "I understand, Madam, what would you like to eat?"
"I want to eat millet and shrimp porridge, hot and sour shredded radish, lotus cake, and um... and mushroom buns."
"Yes." Hongyue answered softly, her voice filled with joy that could not be concealed.
It’s good that you can still eat, which means you are really not sad. That’s good, that’s good.
As long as the Empress is well, nothing else matters.
A quarter of an hour later, Hongyue came back with red eyes and a lunch box.
Tang Wan was reading a storybook at first and didn't notice her abnormality. She was laughing so hard that her body was shaking.
But suddenly I heard faint sobbing sounds, which sounded both suppressed and aggrieved.
Tang Wan frowned, realized something was wrong, and immediately put down the book.
Sure enough, I saw Hongyue wiping her eyes with her sleeve.
"Hongyue, what's wrong with you?"
Hongyue gritted her teeth, her face flushed with anger, and laid out the contents of the food box one by one.
"Your Majesty, those people in the Imperial Kitchen are truly so arrogant. When I went to get the food today, I was told that it had already been taken away by Rongpin's people."
She held back her tears: "I asked them to make another one, but they..."
"And they speak disparagingly of us, don't they?"
Hongyue bit her lower lip and nodded after a while.
She actually didn't want the Empress to know this, but she was so smart that when she saw those dishes, she would know even if she didn't say it.
Tang Wan said calmly, "Hongyue, this is how it is in the harem, flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. But I can promise you that one day, no one will dare to do this to us again."
"This servant believes in you, Madam."
"Okay, get up. Next time you go, bring some silver with you. No matter how hard they try to make things difficult for you, they won't let you down."
"good."
