Chapter 175 The Cannon Fodder Concubine in the Harem - Relocation of the Palace
On this day, Emperor Jingping entered the inner palace again, and unsurprisingly, everyone in Qinyuan Palace bowed to the emperor.
Emperor Jingping stared at that beautiful figure. He hadn't seen her for many days, and he never imagined that his longing for her was so intense.
"No need for formalities," Emperor Jingping said gently.
After saying that, he walked straight to Yao Yao, took her hand, and asked gently, "Is dinner ready?"
Yao Yao shook her head: "No, His Majesty is here, and I'd like to have a free meal with him!"
Emperor Jingping smiled faintly, his eyes filled with doting affection and tenderness.
He gently patted Yao Yao's hand and said, "Alright, my dinner will all be for my beloved concubine. I can't let my beloved concubine go hungry!"
Yaoyao glared at Emperor Jingping and said coquettishly, "I'm not a little piglet, I can't eat that much~"
Emperor Jingping chuckled twice and said affectionately, "My beloved concubine is so adorable~"
The two arrived at the main hall, chatting and laughing.
At this moment, the servants had been dismissed. Emperor Jingping pulled Yaoyao into his arms, buried his head in her neck, and took a deep breath.
"My dear, I have missed you very much these past few days."
Emperor Jingping felt very relaxed in front of Yaoyao, both physically and mentally, he felt extremely relaxed and happy.
Yao Yao reached out and hugged Emperor Jingping's waist, saying softly, "Your Majesty, I've missed you so much too~"
"Yaoyao, the Showa Palace is ready and you can move in anytime. You can stay there from now on."
Yao Yao was secretly delighted, but she pretended to be reserved and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, I have lived in Qinyuan Palace for a long time and have grown attached to this place. Could we postpone the relocation?"
Qinyuan Palace is located in a remote area, and although it is quiet, Yaoyao prefers a big house!
Emperor Jingping frowned slightly. "Yaoyao, I know you prefer peace and quiet, but Zhaohe Palace is closer to my bedroom, so I can visit you more often."
Seeing that Emperor Jingping was so insistent, Yaoyao stopped refusing and nodded with a smile in agreement.
The Imperial Kitchen was the first to know that the Emperor had arrived at Qinyuan Palace.
As various evening meals were served to Qinyuan Palace in a continuous stream, the people in the palace finally realized that the Emperor had gone to Qinyuan Palace again.
It snowed yesterday, so we prepared mutton hot pot for dinner tonight, and Yaoyao enjoyed it very much.
Tonight is another wonderful and memorable night.
The lights in the inner chambers of Qinyuan Palace stayed on almost all night.
The eunuchs carried water back and forth, while the palace maids busied themselves boiling water; everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
The next day, the sun shone brightly.
Led by Wang Bao, Yao Yao rode in a sedan chair, while Hong Guo led the group from Qinyuan Palace to Zhaohe Hall.
As Yaoyao entered the palace, she was immediately struck by the sight before her.
The palace was spacious and bright, with light streaming through the windows, illuminating the entire space as if it were daytime.
The walls are inlaid with magnificent gems and precious paintings and calligraphy, shimmering with dazzling light.
The floor is covered with a soft carpet, and walking on it feels like stepping on clouds, making people feel incredibly comfortable.
The bed was covered with soft silk. The palace was also decorated with various exquisite ornaments, such as porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.
This shows Emperor Jingping's affection for Yaoyao.
The move from Qinyuan Palace to Showa Palace was a massive undertaking, with a large crowd carrying belongings, causing another uproar in the inner palace.
Showa-gu Shrine enjoys a superior geographical location, being very close to the Emperor's Hall of Mental Cultivation, and it is also very large, with a very pleasant palace environment!
Since Emperor Jingping ascended the throne, no one has ever lived in Showa Palace. Both Consort Li and Consort Shu had expressed their desire to live in Showa Palace, but Emperor Jingping ignored them.
Upon hearing the news, Consort Shu and Consort Li were furious.
At this moment, in Fenghua Palace, Consort Shu's face was flushed with anger.
Looking at the people serving her, she wondered if any of them were people arranged by Xu Yaoyao who wanted to see her make a fool of herself. No way!
Consort Shu took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, but her tone remained icy: "All of you, leave!"
Everyone left, leaving only Consort Shu and Lü Ling in the room.
Consort Shu trembled with rage, and she said through gritted teeth:
"Xu Yaoyao! Well done! Regardless of her rank in the palace, I can be considered her cousin. Since she entered the palace, has she ever come to pay her respects to me?"
"That vixen Xu Yaoyao has actually moved into Showa Palace! I'd like to see if she can handle this incredible fortune!"
"Don't let yourself get bent over! This bitch is really arrogant!"
The overwhelming anger terrified Green Ling, who turned pale and quickly advised, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not good for your health to get so angry."
Consort Shu glared at her and said angrily, "How can I not be angry? She is just a Consort, yet she dares to be so arrogant. She simply doesn't take me seriously!"
Green Jade reassured her repeatedly, "Your Majesty, you must remain calm. You have the Second Princess and hold power in the palace. Once you have recovered, you can seize the man in one fell swoop, and then no one will be able to shake your position!"
"As for Consort Xu, she is now a target in the eyes of everyone in the harem. Everyone wants to shoot her. She is in the limelight now, but it won't be long before she suffers!"
"Consort Li has a fiery temper!"
Consort Shu's anger gradually subsided. Yes, she couldn't be in a hurry.
"You're right! By the way, Green Lotus, urge my mother again to bring that wandering female doctor in as soon as possible. I need to get treatment quickly!"
Green Diamond knelt down and said, "This servant understands."

In the Hibiscus Palace, many more porcelain pieces shattered in Consort Li's room. Her eyes were bloodshot with rage, and she cursed, "Ah! I'm so angry! How could that wretched woman receive such favor from His Majesty?"
She smashed things as she roared, "His Majesty actually allowed her to live in Showa Palace!"
Consort Li's voice was sharp and shrill, filled with jealousy and anger.
A malicious glint flashed in her eyes, and she said through gritted teeth:
"That little slut, don't let her fall into my hands, or she'll be sorry!"
She secretly plotted how to get revenge on that woman and make her lose the Emperor's favor.
The maids of Consort Li were too frightened to utter a sound, lest they anger her. They knew that Consort Li had a violent temper, and once she lost her temper, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Consort Li's face turned gloomy and terrifying, and the anger in her eyes burned fiercely. The palace servants dared not make a sound, for fear of being implicated.

As expected, on the first day of moving into the new palace, Emperor Jingping arrived.
Unlike before, this time he did not come empty-handed; instead, he brought many precious housewarming gifts.
These precious gifts were carefully carried into the house.
As Yao Yao watched her personal wealth grow, she couldn't contain her joy. The smile on her face grew wider and wider.
"Your Majesty, you are so good to me! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yao Yao said coquettishly, hugging the man's strong waist.
Emperor Jingping lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Then you should thank me properly tonight."
Yao Yao glared at him coquettishly, then turned and walked into the house.
Seeing Yaoyao's proud and aloof demeanor, Emperor Jingping was not angry. On the contrary, he followed her with a good temper.
