Chapter 38: Palace Fighting*Playing the Enchanting Favored Concubine (XI)



When Shu Mei heard Yun Chuxia say this, she did not react much. After all, Yun Chuxia had mentioned this matter to her several years ago when she had just become emperor. However, for the eldest prince who was just a wooden statue present, and these palace maids, it was a shocking event. m.. Mobile Network

The maids were all veterans of the Shumei Palace. They could see that the relationship between the emperor and Concubine Liang was very good, and they could say that they were extremely doting on each other. They had also speculated whether the eldest prince would have a good outcome, such as being crowned a king or a prime minister, but being a crown prince was too...

How to say it, it's hard to describe. People in the world are close to their own offspring, not to mention such a big Tang Dynasty, many people are jealous. The emperor himself is a woman and can give birth to children. Even if he favors Concubine Liang now, what can two women do?

What's more, the name of Emperor Yun Chuxia is well known to everyone in the palace. After all, this is still the old capital of the New Qi Kingdom. Yun Chuxia has been the queen for nearly ten years, and most people in the palace have seen her. She still has the Yun family to rely on. How could she confer the throne of crown prince to a person of shady origin, well, actually the son of her scumbag ex-husband?

The palace maids complained in their hearts, but after they glanced at Yun Chuxia's gentle gaze towards Shu Mei, they completely understood that in the mind of the current emperor, Concubine Liang Shu Mei had an extremely high status. Not only was he indulged in every way, but he also handed over the empire that she had worked so hard to build to Concubine Liang's son.

After this incident, the palace maid had a deeper understanding of Shu Mei's status in the eyes of the emperor.

Of course, it was not just the palace maids who were shocked at this moment. The eldest prince was also surprised and happy.

You have to know that although he is only five years old, he is a child who grew up in the deep palace. How can he judge a person's intelligence by his age?

Even though the eldest prince was the only child in the palace, he grew up in such a big melting pot and was influenced by what he saw and heard, so he had his own decisions in his heart.

He knew that the current emperor had a very close relationship with his mother, the queen mother, and they even often slept together, like a husband and wife relationship.

Many people in the court kept this relationship a secret, but for him, the beneficiary, it was also a good thing for him, the son, that his mother could marry the empress with an unpredictable temperament. He did not seek to be above everyone else in the future, but only to live a peaceful and happy life.

What's more, with his mother's temperament, if she hadn't been taken care of by the emperor, she would have been swallowed up by the deep palace long ago.

Although the emperor was a woman, she was more powerful than any man in her behavior. She protected him and his mother very well. Such a favored child of heaven was not inferior to his mother at all.

Shu Mei didn't know what the eldest prince was thinking, and when Shu Mei didn't know, her son had grown to an astonishing level.

The calmest person among these people was Shu Mei herself.

She was not very interested in the fact that the eldest prince was canonized as the crown prince. Instead, she was curious about another thing. Her eyes could not help but fall on Yun Chuxia, and she asked in confusion, "Why did the queen abdicate and let someone more virtuous be appointed? Why did I have to host the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet? What was your plan?"

Her words were spoken bluntly. Even though the eldest prince was used to seeing his mother talking to the emperor without restraint, he couldn't help but feel frightened at this moment.

You have to know that the emperor in front of her is a true tyrant, and she has killed countless people. During the five years she has been in power, anyone who dared to speak to her like this has now turned into a pile of bones, and some people don't even have their bodies left. Only her mother, the queen, had been giving no respect to the emperor for five years.

Fortunately, Yun Chuxia really didn't care. To be more precise, she would rather face the unscrupulous Shu Li in front of her. This would make her understand that in Shu Li's heart, she was at least one of his own.

After all, Shu Mei was very good at dealing with people in his daily life. He was gentle and polite to outsiders and would only lose his temper when facing her.

Just like now, Yun Chuxia could see that Shu Mei didn't want to be in charge, so she ordered the others: "You all should leave, including the eldest prince."

"Yes." "I will take my leave."

Yun Chuxia waited until everyone had left before hugging Shu Mei and saying, "I want you to stand by my side. Do you understand what I mean?"

Shu Mei's eyebrows moved, and she looked up at Yun Chuxia. The other person's face was resolute and determined, and she knew that she had made up her mind.

Yun Chuxia continued, "Even if time in this world is just a blink of an eye, I still want to stand shoulder to shoulder with you. I want to let the people of this world, and the people of thousands of years to come, know that the only one who can match me is you. You are legitimate and unique. You are my only wife and the queen in my heart."

Shu Mei's heart was shocked and his eyes became hot.

These days, she and Yun Chuxia slept together almost every day. Even if they didn't do anything extraordinary, their skin was always close to each other, their ears were close to each other, and sometimes they would go even deeper. Her heart was not made of iron. She could no longer look at the first person she was close to, the woman with whom she had done the closest things in the world, with the same eyes as before.

Even if one's heart is as hard as a rock, it will be touched by the other party's daily polishing.

At this moment, Shu Mei listened to Yun Chuxia's stubborn and determined words, his heart warmed, and he moved closer and gave Yun Chuxia a warm kiss on her lips.

Shu Mei didn't care about those empty things, but she attached great importance to Yun Chuxia's feelings for her. Even when she didn't like Yun Chuxia, she would not say harsh words to ruin this relationship.

Yun Chuxia blinked in disbelief, and looked at Shu Mei's lowered eyes so close to her, and she seemed to be stunned.

In the past, she had always been the one taking the initiative. She had never thought that there would be a day like this. If she had known that a few words could get the other party to take the initiative, she would have said a lot of good things to him. Why would she have to worry about it alone for so long?

Yun Chuxia kissed him back without any hesitation, leaving a beige mark on Shu Mei's ear.

Shu Mei leaned against Yun Chuxia, thought for a moment, and said, "I have always lived in the deep palace. Although those people know my name, they probably don't take me seriously."

Yun Chuxia thought she was worried, so she smiled and said, "I'll help you build momentum."

Hearing this, Shu Mei rolled his eyes and said, "I can handle it myself, don't worry."

Yun Chuxia was stunned for a moment, and said: "Would you... not be willing to do this?"

Yun Chuxia understood Shu Mei's character well. Although she was smart, she was not very good at handling things. She had lived in the palace for so many years. At the beginning, she had plotted to frame the imperial concubine Ye, but then she was drugged and could not wake up. After she finally woke up, the country was in decline and the Emperor of Xinqi had changed. Even if she wanted to, she was powerless.

As for Princess Lingyue, she was the one who sent people to kill her. She had done too many things, leaving Shu Mei with nothing to do. However, the other party did not care about these things. Even though she lived in a deep palace that was like a prison every day, she still maintained her original appearance.

Yun Chuxia looked at her and said, "Do you want to leave the palace and go out into the world?"

Shu Mei looked at her curiously and said, "The world outside is just like that. Yun Chuxia, you..." She paused, swallowed the question she wanted to ask, and changed the subject, "Are you hungry? It's getting late. You can rest after dinner."

Yun Chuxia nodded, and the two of them had dinner, and the night passed just like that.

On the second day, although Yun Chuxia went to court early, the palace maids in charge of banquets and the like soon came to wait outside Shu Mei's bedroom.

After Shu Mei finished his meal and got dressed, he went out to meet these people.

This world also has the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the customs are not much different from those on Earth. In the past, she would not go out to the palace banquets even during the festival. Over time, even though Yun Chuxia doted on her very much, because she rarely appeared in public and those worldly affairs would not bother her, she seemed to be out of touch with the people in the outside world.

She was serious about what she said before about solving the problem herself. After all, she had entered a hundred virtual time and space experiences and had traveled through time to become a queen several times. She was not unfamiliar with hosting palace banquets like this.

So, she instructed the palace servants in a familiar manner to hand over the regulations of previous years. She screened them and added a few items. Yun Chuxia was not short of money, so she added a few local specialties to the banquet this time. This way, it would be in accordance with the rules and would not offend the current queen, nor would she appear to be ostentatious and arrogant.

She was Concubine Liang, so she only needed to talk, but the people below would need to prepare for several months if they wanted to actually host this palace banquet.

During the past few months, the matter between Concubine Liang and the eldest prince was once again brought up as a topic of conversation for a long time by the concubines and maids in the palace, as well as the common people and ministers outside the palace.

This is also Yun Chuxia's most important goal, which is to build momentum for Shu Mei. If Shu Mei is directly named as the queen and the eldest prince Tang Zhao is appointed as the crown prince, there will always be some tough guys who will jump out and cause trouble.

If this matter involved herself, it would be fine, as she was a bona fide tyrant in everyone's eyes anyway. But if it involved Shu Mei, she didn't want her to suffer any injustice.

In this way, they would be given a few months to talk about anything they wanted to do. By the time the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was officially held, even if they wanted to cause trouble, they would not have the confidence and would retreat out of uneasiness.
