Emperor Shengwu did not like eating duck meat, not to mention that he was already full at the moment.
But as a member of the royal family, his preferences cannot be easily seen. Seeing Bei Lingyao eating with relish, Emperor Shengwu still picked up his chopsticks.
He thought it tasted like chewing wax before, but he didn't expect it to be so delicious today.
However, no matter how much he liked a dish, Emperor Shengwu would only eat it twice.
He didn't understand before. When the Empress Dowager took him out of the cold palace, he only wanted to eat what he liked, which gave others an opportunity to take advantage of him.
As a result, he is now poisoned.
At the wedding, the Crown Princess put a sleeping pill in his wine glass, hoping that the maid Li Taojiang would sleep with him in his bridal chamber.
That maid was the drug that caused his death by poison.
Once he touches it, the poison in his body will come into contact with the medicine in the Crown Princess's body, and he will die suddenly.
If he hadn't placed someone next to the Crown Princess, she would have almost been caught.
He replaced the wine glass while the Crown Princess was not paying attention, causing the Crown Princess and her maid to suffer the consequences and die suddenly in the bridal chamber.
This is also the reason why Emperor Shengwu did not enter the harem. It was one thing that he was not capable, but no one knew how many concubines in the harem were used as medicine to deal with him.
If he was poisoned by a poisonous drug, Emperor Shengwu would not be sure whether he could survive or what the consequences would be.
As for the Concubine Bei in front of him, Prince Fu had asked to marry her as a concubine but was rejected, and she was almost engaged to the prince of Rongbo Mansion.
Could she also be the inducement to deal with him?
Emperor Shengwu was no longer sure.
Emperor Shengwu became restless with doubts in his mind.
Between women and life, life is naturally more important.
But when he thought about how after so many years, he finally had a woman who aroused his reaction at first sight, Emperor Shengwu's legs became rooted and he couldn't move.
After rinsing her mouth after the meal, Bei Lingyao accompanied Emperor Shengwu for a walk in the garden to help digest the food.
Bei Lingyao is the only one living in Yufu Palace now. There were two concubines in the past, but one died of illness and the other was banished to the cold palace.
It feels so good to live alone in a big palace. Once I capture the emperor, I will never let anyone live in it.
The night was chilly in late autumn. Bei Lingyao looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, thinking about the present time and the world of cultivation, with mixed feelings.
"Princess Bei"
Emperor Shengwu suddenly held Bei Lingyao's hand. She came back to her senses and looked at their clasped hands. The palms were broad and slender, with a thin layer of calluses, warm and dry.
"What are you looking at, Princess Bei?"
"Look at the Emperor's hand."
Bei Lingyao raised her eyes to look at Emperor Shengwu's handsome features. He had a perfect side profile that was no less attractive than the handsome male cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.
Emperor Shengwu was blessed by nature, but unfortunately his fate was too rough and not cruel enough.
Otherwise, if Prince Fu and the Queen Mother had been eliminated, what happened later would not have happened.
"How is my hand?"
Emperor Shengwu raised his eyebrows in confusion. What was so beautiful about his hands?
Under the moonlight, Bei Lingyao lifted Emperor Shengwu's hand and examined it carefully. "The Emperor's hand has distinct joints, is slender and well-proportioned, thick and powerful, and very beautiful."
"Princess Bei's hands are more beautiful, with slender, soft, rosy and smooth fingers."
Emperor Shengwu took over and played with Bei Lingyao's hand, as if he had found some fun toy.
Seeing Emperor Shengwu being so close to her and feeling the warmth in his palm, Bei Lingyao thought she would sleep with him tonight.
But I didn't expect that we were just chatting under the covers.
Looking at the '38th Parallel' on the big bed, which looked like the boundary between Chu and Han, Bei Lingyao was speechless.
It turns out that the emperor is really not capable.
That night, countless eyes and thoughts were focused on Yufu Palace.
All the concubines in the harem couldn't sleep. They were filled with sourness, envy, jealousy, hatred, and a little excitement.
They were excited because the emperor entered the harem. Although he went to Yufu Palace, it was a good start for them.
At least the emperor is willing to enter the harem, so they will have the opportunity to meet the emperor, serve him in bed, give birth to princes, and ascend to the throne as mothers of the country...
Early in the morning, Bei Lingyao woke up and Emperor Shengwu was gone.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty."
The palace maids in Yufu Palace were excited and happy.
Only Bei Lingyao looked at the bright red Yuanpa in Nanny Sun's hand, with the same expression as an old man on the subway looking at his phone.pg.
Emmm, the dog tyrant is very calculating.
She was clearly acting like Liu Xiahui last night, but she deceived the world into thinking that she had served the emperor in bed.
The innocence of this virgin girl is no longer clear.
"Don't be upset, Your Majesty. It's a good thing that the Emperor is willing to come."
How could Nanny Sun, who was guarding outside the door, not know whether Bei Lingyao had slept with him or not?
"Don't worry, Ma'am. It's my blessing that the Emperor has come. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for me."
Bei Lingyao guessed that Emperor Shengwu wanted to use her as a shield to cover up the fact that he was impotent.
Nanny Sun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Bei Lingyao didn't complain.
Zhihua walked in and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Bei, Eunuch Hong is here to deliver the reward on the orders of the Emperor."
Nanny Sun quickly reminded: "Eunuch Hong is Eunuch Xing's apprentice."
Bei Lingyao nodded. Even if Nanny Sun didn't say anything, she wouldn't show any displeasure to Eunuch Hong.
Everyone knows that it is easy to see the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with little ghosts.
It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.
Especially in the palace, eunuchs and palace maids should not be offended easily.
Not to mention the eunuchs serving the emperor.
However, there is no shortage of people in the palace who look down on you. When things are going well for you, everyone will praise you on the surface, but when things are going badly, they will openly step on you and humiliate you.
Here, being powerless, unfavored, and without support, being humble and weak is the original sin.
As soon as Bei Lingyao came out after washing and dressing, Eunuch Hong came forward with a smile on his face, "Your servant greets the Concubine Bei. The Emperor ordered this servant to bring a reward to the Concubine Bei. This is the first reward in the harem."
After saying this, Eunuch Hong immediately took the gift list and announced:
"A pair of jade green bracelets, a jade ruyi, a brocade cloak inlaid with fur, a hollow carved jade hairpin, a piece of fragrant cloud gauze, a piece of brocade satin, a piece of cloud satin..."
"I thank the emperor for his grace."
Bei Lingyao bowed in the direction of Taiji Palace, then stood up to accept the gift list handed to her by Eunuch Hong. With a smile on her face, she invited Eunuch Hong into the hall for a cup of tea.
Eunuch Hong declined politely, "Thank you, Madam Bei. I have to return to serve you, so I won't have any tea."
Nanny Sun stepped forward immediately and stuffed a purse into Eunuch Hong's hand. Eunuch Hong held it in his palm and hid it in his sleeve, feeling its hardness and weight, and smiled so hard that his teeth were visible.
This is the first time in ten years that the Emperor has rewarded a concubine. It is a great honor for Concubine Bei. She is given the title of Concubine and is rewarded for sleeping with the emperor. A lot of porcelain handkerchiefs have been consumed in the harem these days.
If Master Xing Gonggong hadn't been unable to leave, he would probably have wanted to come in person.
After seeing off Eunuch Hong, Bei Lingyao asked Zhihua to register the rewards from Emperor Shengwu, take out the ones that were needed, and classify the ones that were not in use yet and put them into storage.
"Your Majesty, people from all the palaces have sent congratulatory gifts."
"Mammy and Zhihua accepted this and registered it for me."
If the palace maids from other palaces send the guests, Bei Lingyao does not need to receive them personally.
But on this day, the ladies of lower rank in the harem came to visit Yufu Palace one after another, and Nanny Sun sent them away on the pretext that Bei Lingyao was resting.
Yaohua Palace, where Concubine Liu lives.
"Empress Liu, Empress Bei is too arrogant."
"Yes, I, Li Concubine's sister, and He Concubine's sister were all turned away when we went there."
"You're so frivolous after just a little favor. This is the upbringing of the Bei Censor family."
"Oh, what manners and education can a peasant of humble origins have?"
