When Wushuang arrived at Qin Mu's bedroom, he had already drunk the medicine prescribed by the secret guard and was no longer feeling so uncomfortable.
Even though he didn't react, he still felt uncomfortable in other parts of his body due to the Thousand Days Drunk, so he had to take medicine.
Now he has been able to regain his composure and deal with memorials behind his desk.
"Your Majesty, Lady Shu has arrived." Su Bai reminded.
"Let her in." Qin Mu said without raising his head.
Wushuang walked in and saw the tall and handsome man behind the desk with a proper smile on his face. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Hearing Wushuang's gentle and pleasant voice, Qin Mu's mood also improved, and he finally shifted his gaze from the memorial to her.
Seeing Wushuang dressed up, Qin Mu felt that he was right to keep her.
Even if he has a hidden illness and can't do anything, so what?
If he doesn't keep such a beauty and sends her out of the palace, then the civil and military officials in the court may start to suspect that there is something wrong with him, right?
"Sit over there." Qin Mu raised his chin and asked her to sit down.
Other concubines might not be able to sit when they "serve the emperor in bed", and they might not be given soft couches to sleep on, but who can blame Wushuang for being so beautiful?
Good-looking people have privileges.
Wushuang bowed slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty~"
Wushuang sat on a chair not far away and looked at Qin Mu, the young emperor.
She didn't want Qin Mu to discover her specialness and the fact that only she could sleep with him on the first day after entering the palace, so she didn't plan to take action tonight.
Wushuang didn't plan to have a baby so early. In fact, her current body is only sixteen years old, and she didn't plan to have a baby so soon.
The main thing is that if she really gets pregnant, all the women in the harem will turn their attention to her.
This time she wanted to see what palace fighting was like. She wanted to watch other concubines fight and didn't want to become their common target at all.
So Wushuang stayed in Qin Mu's bedroom all night and nothing happened. Then after she returned to her own bedroom, she was called away by Concubine Li again.
As the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, although Concubine Li did not have the qualifications to ask all the concubines to pay their respects to her, she still had the power to meet any concubine she wanted.
Wushuang was just a little beauty, so of course she had no right to refuse Concubine Li's summons.
Wushuang dressed up beautifully and came to Fengxiang Palace.
"Your concubine greets the Imperial Concubine." Wushuang used a trick to make people think that she was really bowing, but in fact she stood very steadily without even bending her knees.
She looked at Concubine Li sitting in the main seat. This concubine was not bad looking, and her temperament was very dignified and bookish, which many people liked.
Even if Concubine Li's nature is not like this, what does it matter? This is the temperament she shows.
Wushuang smiled. Perhaps the Li family wanted Concubine Li to become the queen, but who knew that Qin Mu did not make her the queen?
Qin Mu has been on the throne for five years. Civil and military officials submit memorials every day saying things like "The harem cannot be without a queen for a day", but Qin Mu pretends not to see it.
Anyway, these concubines have no children. It's already good enough that Qin Mu can give her the title of concubine based on her family background. He still wants to make her the queen?
impossible.
When Concubine Li saw Wushuang, her pupils couldn't help but shrink. Such beauty was really impactful.
She listened to her own quickened heartbeat and finally understood why Qin Mu did not accept the beauties given by so many officials, but accepted this one.
If he doesn't want to possess such a beautiful and extraordinary beauty when he meets her, is he still a man?
Concubine Li herself wanted to possess such beauty - of course, she wanted this face to grow on her own head, rather than a "rival" who could share her favor with her having such a face.
Concubine Li felt a sense of crisis.
Although Wushuang's family background is not very good, she is definitely favored because of her face.
What should she do?
"Lady Shu is indeed as beautiful as her name. She is worthy of being the beauty bestowed with the title 'Shu' by His Majesty himself." Concubine Li said.
"Lady Shu has just entered the palace and served His Majesty last night. Now she is His Majesty's legitimate woman. She must fulfill her duties."
"Your duty is to serve His Majesty well and give birth to children for His Majesty, do you understand?" Concubine Li warned.
She spoke to Wushuang in the tone of a wife, not at all thinking that she was just a concubine and not the queen, and that she had no right to say such things.
In fact, when facing Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian, Concubine Gui also wanted to speak in the tone of a legal wife, but they didn't give her any face at all.
As for the other concubines, although they were of low rank, their family backgrounds were not bad, so they were also impatient to listen to Li Guifei, a concubine, speaking in the tone of the wife.
The reason why Concubine Li treated Wushuang like this was because she looked down on her family background and thought she had little experience, so she was so unscrupulous.
Wushuang knew that Concubine Li wanted to pick on her, but she just smiled and said, "I naturally understand my responsibilities. As your Majesty's woman, of course I put your Majesty first."
"The Imperial Concubine is truly the most powerful person in the palace. I have taken note of your teachings."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I've taken note of this. I'm just a concubine and won't go beyond your authority..."
"Oh, you won't go beyond the Imperial Concubine? Lady Shu means that you are just a concubine, so does that mean Imperial Concubine Li is the legal wife?"
"Isn't she also a concubine? She can't sit on the position of queen."
Concubine Shu had been under house arrest, so the person who arrogantly confronted Concubine Li for her delusion of acting like a queen by using her status as a concubine was Wang Zhaoyi, the head of the nine concubines.
The rank of the virtuous concubine and the imperial concubine is similar, but the virtuous concubine's personality is apparently well-educated, virtuous and gentle. Of course, it is impossible for her to be so aggressive towards the imperial concubine.
On the other hand, Wang Zhaoyi, who came from the Wang family of Taiyuan, was very blunt when she spoke to the imperial concubine.
The Wang family of Taiyuan is a big family with hundreds of years of history. It has been passed down for nine hundred years, almost a thousand years. Wang Zhaoyi is not afraid of Li Guifei at all.
She, Concubine Li, had the ability to punish Wang Lin. Once the news got out of the palace, she was sure that Li's people would be subjected to a full-scale attack by the Wang family of Taiyuan.
So although Wang Zhaoyi was not a concubine, she was never polite when speaking to the three concubines of higher rank than her.
"Your Highness, I know you've been coveting the throne for a long time, but you're not yet the Empress, so there's no need to act like one in front of someone new to the palace."
"Be careful, I will go to His Majesty and accuse you of usurpation of power." Wang Zhaoyi flicked her sleeves and sat down, saying to Li Guifei bluntly.
Concubine Li's expression twisted for a moment, but she quickly controlled it.
Why is Wang Zhaoyi so annoying?
Is she a mad dog? She bites people as soon as she appears?
