Chapter 7: My People



This man knew her nickname Qingqing?

He was thoughtful.

Really thoughtful.

If the man in front of her was not the emperor of the Wei Dynasty who had a lot of experience in being a woman, she would have thought that this man liked her.

Fortunately, she knew her own limitations and did not continue to let her imagination run wild.

After calming down, Liao Qingqing poured tea for Emperor Jingli, then turned to look at him and said, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Emperor Jingli did not move, but smiled at Liao Qingqing.

Liao Qingqing did not understand the meaning of Emperor Jingli's smile, but through her observation over the past few days, she already knew his habits, so she asked, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, why don't we have lunch?"

Was she afraid that he would be hungry?

Emperor Jingli nodded with satisfaction.

Liao Qingqing immediately ordered someone to serve the meal, and she had her meal with Emperor Jingli, and then went into the inner room together and took a nap together.

Everything went so naturally.

Emperor Jingli thought, it has only been a few days and Liao Ronghua has already gotten used to sleeping on his side.

Very good.

Very considerate.

He looked sideways at Liao Qingqing with satisfaction and was about to say something to compliment her.

He turned around and found that Liao Qingqing had fallen asleep.

...Okay.

He needed to discuss the Northwest War with the inner cabinet in the afternoon.

So he closed his eyes.

The whole Lisheng Pavilion immediately fell into the tranquility of the afternoon.

There was a different feeling of peace and quiet.

However, other courtyards in the harem were not at peace. From the palace maids to the concubines, they all knew that Concubine Liao and Jiang Fangyi had come to Lisheng Pavilion to show their presence and were scolded by the emperor.

Everyone was laughing secretly.

Liao Jieyu and Jiang Fangyi, who were already ashamed and annoyed, felt even more embarrassed. For several days, they did not dare to speak when they went to pay their respects to Concubine Liang. They only cursed Liao Qingqing in their hearts.

Liao Qingqing automatically ignored Liao Jieyu and Jiang Fangyi, and treated everyone as usual. Her life was smooth.

At first, she was timid and terrified to face Emperor Jingli. Like a tool, she played the role of a beautiful woman.

Later, Emperor Jingli came twice a day, and except for eating and sleeping, he did not have any abnormal bad habits.

She got used to it.

But today, Emperor Jingli seemed a little different. He stared at her during meals.

After finishing the meal, he did not talk about sleeping, nor did he ask Fusheng to bring him the memorial. Instead, he walked to the window and pretended to be handsome facing the bright moon in the sky.

Putting aside the problems of Emperor Jingli's impotence, moodiness and scheming, Emperor Jingli was really an invincible handsome man, much more handsome than those popular young actors she had seen on TV in her previous life.

At this moment, he just stood there, as if thinking about something. He was as beautiful as a delicate orchid and a jade tree, and his handsome profile made people yearn for him.

At this moment, Emperor Jingli suddenly turned his head.

Liao Qingqing couldn't avoid her gaze and bumped into Emperor Jingli. She was panicked.

"Are you peeking at me?" Emperor Jingli asked.

"...Yes." Liao Qingqing admitted it, and her heart was inexplicably confused.

Emperor Jingli was slightly startled, and suddenly felt a little happy in his heart, but he himself didn't notice it. He asked in a low voice: "Am I good-looking?"

"Not bad." Liao Qingqing said casually.

"Not bad?" Emperor Jingli didn't raise his voice.

Liao Qingqing immediately realized that the man in front of her was an emperor. Emperors are not ordinary men. They are often in high positions and are used to being flattered by others.

She said with interest: "What I mean is that the emperor is naturally good-looking, handsome and powerful, unrestrained and unrestrained, and there is no one in the world who can compare with him!"

Knowing that Liao Qingqing was flattering, Emperor Jingli still had a barely perceptible smile on his lips and asked: "Am I really that good?"

"Of course!" Except for being impotent, a little perverted, and moody, the emperor is indeed very good, and he governs the Wei Dynasty very well.

It is worth praising!

"Then come here." Emperor Jingli looked straight at Liao Qingqing and said.

Liao Qingqing was puzzled.

"Come here." Emperor Jingli said again.

Liao Qingqing couldn't see through Emperor Jingli, and subconsciously felt that Emperor Jingli was a hidden pervert, who might have some shameful hobbies. Many emperors in ancient times were perverts.

But she couldn't disobey the order, and walked towards Emperor Jingli carefully.

When she was about to reach Emperor Jingli, Emperor Jingli suddenly reached out and held her hand.

At this moment, she was on guard against Emperor Jingli, and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and knew that the emperor would not allow others to refuse. She tried hard to suppress the resistance in her heart and not let herself pull back her hand. She

used twelve points of restraint, but still let her hand tremble slightly.

Just this shudder made Emperor Jingli not only refreshed, but also filled with a hint of joy. Liao Qingqing must like him in her heart, so she was so excited when their skin touched.

Alas, another woman who loves him.

Thinking of this, he felt more and more comfortable physically and mentally. The last time Liao Qingqing was dressing him, her fingers accidentally touched him, and he immediately felt his mind unusually clear. He

didn't expect that just holding hands would make him feel as relaxed as bathing in the spring sunshine.

Liao Qingqing actually has this kind of magic.

He has never believed in ghosts or gods, but only believed that man can conquer nature. The so-called sacrifices, blessings, etc. are just a political means, a ritual to establish the emperor's majesty and appease ministers and people.

But Liao Qingqing overturned his perception.

He held Liao Qingqing's hand tightly.

He didn't know how long his headache would last if he held it like this, and he wanted to hold it like this in his heart.

Liao Qingqing didn't understand what Emperor Jingli was doing, so she could only let him hold her hand. After all, holding hands and sleeping together wouldn't make them lose weight!

So let him hold her hand.

It felt like they held her hand for a long time, and when Fusheng came to ask if they had bathed and gone to bed, Emperor Jingli let go of Liao Qingqing.

Liao Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

She had lived two lives, and both seemed to be single. She remembered that her parents divorced in her last life, and she lived with her grandparents. When she was in high school, her grandparents passed away, and she began to live alone, struggling for life alone.

While others were in love, she tried to work part-time to earn a living. In

this life, she woke up in this majestic palace.

Emperor Jingli was the first man who was so close to her.

When shaking hands, she clearly felt the thickness and warmth of Emperor Jingli's big hands, and her face became hot. Fortunately, now that she let go, her rationality returned. She felt a little uncomfortable in her hands, so she pulled a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and raised her eyes to meet Emperor Jingli's gaze.

"Why are you wiping your hands?" Emperor Jingli asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Sweating." Liao Qingqing answered with a stutter: "Wipe it off."

Emperor Jingli was unhappy for a moment and turned to go into the bathroom. When he came back, his face was still the same as usual, not angry. Liao Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, went to take a shower, then blew out the light and slept inside Emperor Jingli.

The two of them were silent in the darkness. They had

a dreamless night.

The next morning, when Liao Qingqing woke up, Emperor Jingli was gone again.

This was not the first time, she was used to it.

He Xiang said cautiously, "Master, it is Fu Sheng and the others who are helping the emperor with his hair and bathing today."

Liao Qingqing nodded and said, "Yes."

He Xiang continued, "On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the emperor will go to Concubine Liang, Concubine De or Concubine Xian. I heard that they are all helping the emperor with his hair and bathing."

"You mean, I have to do the same?" Liao Qingqing asked.

He Xiang said nothing, but that was what she meant.

"But I can't get up." Liao Qingqing thought for a moment and said truthfully, "The emperor didn't ask you to call me."

"Concubine Liang and the others all woke up naturally." He Xiang said again.

Liao Qingqing knew what He Xiang meant. She thought that she should serve the emperor well like other concubines, and win the emperor's heart with small things, so as not to lose his favor.

She nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

He Xiang smiled, thinking that her master understood.

She understood, but she just wouldn't do it. She wished she could lose favor immediately and wished that Emperor Jingli would never come here again.

In this way, she could return to her ordinary life.

Thinking of this, she had to prepare watermelon for Emperor Jingli and wait for him to come at noon.

Fulfilling a Ronghua professional quality.

As a result, when it was time for lunch, Emperor Jingli didn't come.

What happened?

Lunch time was over, and Emperor Jingli still didn't come.

Liao Qingqing was puzzled.

He Xiang was worried and said, "Master, the emperor is usually here at this time. It's already past noon, why hasn't the emperor come yet?"

"Maybe he won't come." Liao Qingqing said.

He Xiang's face changed drastically when she heard that, and she said, "The emperor won't come?"

Liao Qingqing nodded and said, "I think so. Let's eat first. I'm so hungry."

"Master, wait a little longer. If the emperor comes, he will be very happy to see you waiting for him with an empty stomach." He Xiang said. "

???" He Xiang seemed to have misunderstood the relationship between her and the emperor. There was no emotion between them. She pressed her forehead and said, "Serve the food."

He Xiang couldn't disobey, so she had to serve the dishes.

When Liao Qingqing finished her lunch and took a nap, Emperor Jingli had not come yet, which made He Xiang very nervous. She felt that her master had lost favor and looked worried the whole afternoon.

In the evening, He Xiang became happy instead and whispered, "Master, today is the fifteenth day."

"What's wrong with the fifteenth day?" Liao Qingqing asked.

He Xiang said, "On the first and fifteenth day of every month, the emperor will go to Concubine Liang and her family."

Liao Qingqing asked, "Did the emperor go to Concubine Liang?"

"Yes." He Xiang smiled and nodded. As long as the emperor didn't abandon the master, he would still come to the master after the fifteenth day.

Emperor Jingli went to Concubine Liang!

Good!

She hoped that after this visit, Concubine Liang could whisper in the emperor's ear, so that Emperor Jingli would not come again. She still wanted to live a low-key and smooth life, and did not want to be remembered by the concubines in the harem.

She slept alone in the big bed at night.

Don't be too comfortable!

She slept until dawn, and when she woke up, she went to pay her respects to Concubine Liang. She saw that Concubine Liang was full of joy. It should be because she got along well with the emperor last night. Looking at the other concubines, their eyes were vaguely glancing at her.

She spoke very little as usual. After staying for a while, Concubine Liang needed to take care of the palace affairs, so she and the concubines dispersed.

After being reprimanded by the emperor last time, Concubine Liao and Jiang Fangyi had recovered after nearly half a month of rest, and they deliberately walked up to Liao Qingqing. Liao

Jieyu said, "Sister, I heard that the emperor didn't go to your place yesterday."

Jiang Fangyi followed up with, "I heard that the emperor had lunch in the study yesterday, and Li Wanyi made the meal herself. In the evening, the emperor was still thinking about Concubine Liang, so he went to Concubine Liang early and didn't go to Lisheng Pavilion."

This weird tone is really annoying!

Liao Qingqing has always been worried about Emperor Jingli, and other women in the harem have harmed her.

As a result, other women treat her normally, but the original owner's "good sister" from childhood to adulthood finds trouble with her everywhere.

In her memory, Liao and Jiang have never been favored.

Then she was not afraid of them. She looked at Liao and Jiang and asked softly, "How long has it been since the emperor visited you?"

Liao Jieyu and Jiang Fangyi were both startled. They grew up with Liao Qingqing. Liao Qingqing's father had a low position and her mother was from a small family. Their status was not comparable.

It was just because of her last name "Liao".

So they brought Liao Qingqing along. Liao Qingqing was always weak. No matter how they provoked her, she remained silent and even apologized.

Including the last time in Lisheng Pavilion, when they flirted with the emperor in front of him, Liao Qingqing was so stupid that she didn't say a word.

But now she dared to speak with thorns.

Concubine Liao and Jiang Fangyi were extremely shocked.

Before Liao Qingqing finished her words, she imitated the strange tone of Concubine Liao and Jiang Fangyi, turned over her slender fingers and said: "If I remember correctly, the emperor doesn't seem to have been to you, right?"

This sentence undoubtedly hurt Liao and Jiang's hearts. Since they entered the palace, they have only been to Jingli a few times. The two of them blushed instantly.

Liao Qingqing was not in the mood to quarrel with them and make the other concubines look bad.

She still wanted to live her own life in a low profile.

After saying that, she smiled at Liao and Jiang, and walked away with the fragrance of lotus, which made Liao and Jiang very angry.

But soon, Liao and Jiang were no longer angry, because the fifteenth day had passed, and Emperor Jingli still did not go to Liao Qingqing at noon.

This is not normal!

You know, Emperor Jingli went to Lisheng Pavilion for half a month, and twice a day.

Now he has not stepped into the harem for two days, let alone going to Lisheng Pavilion.

Could it be that Liao Qingqing has fallen out of favor?

"She must have fallen out of favor!" Jiang Fangyi said schadenfreudely, "The emperor used to go there so often, but he hasn't been to Liao Qingqing for two days, and there's not even a message from Liao Qingqing. It's said that the emperor is not a person obsessed with beauty."

"The main reason is that Liao Qingqing only has beauty." Liao Jieyu said, "Wouldn't it be boring after a long time?"

Jiang Fangyi smiled with her face covered, with three parts of sarcasm and seven parts of happiness.

Liao Jieyu had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Is Liao Qingqing secretly sad in Lisheng Pavilion at this time? She is the most sad." When Liao Qingqing was bullied in the Liao Mansion before, she was always sad in silence.

"She must be sad!" Jiang Fangyi said firmly.

"Then should we go and see?" Liao Jieyu asked.

"Comfort her?" Jiang Fangyi said with a smile, "Tell her not to be so sad. This is human nature. It will be like this every day in the future."

Hearing this, Concubine Liao laughed.

The two discussed it, dressed up very brightly, and walked towards Lisheng Pavilion happily, thinking about how sad and miserable Lisheng Pavilion was.

In fact, Liao Qingqing was lying comfortably on the couch, reading a storybook, eating iced watermelon slices, and was in a very good mood. However, He Xiang reminded her after a while, "Master, the emperor didn't come here at noon this morning."

Liao Qingqing looked at the storybook and replied, "I know."

"It's been two days." He Xiang frowned.

"It's been two days." Liao Qingqing said with emotion.

"Yes."

Liao Qingqing thought, the days without Emperor Jingli passed so quickly, two days had already passed in the blink of an eye, wouldn't it be wonderful if Emperor Jingli never came?

She leaned over to eat another piece of watermelon, turned around and saw He Xiang with a sad face, she asked: "He Xiang, what's wrong with you?"

He Xiang quickly came back to her senses.

Liao Qingqing asked: "Are you thinking about the emperor?"

He Xiang said: "I'm thinking, is it because we didn't serve him well that the emperor didn't want to come?"

"Don't blame you." Liao Qingqing said.

"Then-"

"Don't think too much, you did a good job, go get me some watermelon."

"Yes."

After all, He Xiang was just a palace maid. Although the Wei Dynasty was not as reserved as the previous dynasty and was more friendly to women and servants, she was still a palace maid, and talking too much would annoy the master.

Thinking about asking the master to pay more attention to the emperor, but not daring to say too much, she had to bury her head in work and get watermelon for Liao Qingqing.

Liao Qingqing ate the cool and sweet watermelon, and He Xiang's words suddenly popped up in her mind, "Is it because we don't serve well that the emperor doesn't want to come?"

Speaking of serving - He Xiang and the others really served well.

So what about her?

It seems that except for not serving Emperor Jingli in the morning court, after Emperor Jingli shook her hand that day, she wiped it with a handkerchief with some disgust in her heart... When Emperor Jingli saw it, he didn't react.

Could it be that he was actually angry in his heart.

So he won't come to see her these two days?

Good.

Very good!

She just hopes that Emperor Jingli will keep a distance from her, never come to her again, and play with other women in the harem.

Just as she was thinking this, the voice of the palace maid rang out from outside the house: "Master, Concubine Liao and Jiang Fangyi are here."

What are they doing here again?

Liao Qingqing had to sit up to greet Concubine Liao and Jiang Fangyi. The two came over in bright clothes with smiles on their faces.

"Sister, how are you today?" Liao and Jiang said together.

Liao Qingqing said, "Sisters are worried about you. You are eating and drinking well. You are doing very well."

"Really?" Concubine Liao looked at Liao Qingqing with ill intentions, and then laughed, "We thought you would cry in your quilt, so we came here eagerly."

After saying that, Concubine Liao looked at Jiang Fangyi, her eyes full of tacit ridicule.

Jiang Fangyi quickly added, "Yes. I thought my sister was crying."

"Why are you crying?" Liao Qingqing asked, "Why should I cry?"

"The emperor didn't come to my sister." Liao Jieyu's tone was lost, but her eyes were full of satisfaction.

Oh.

These two people just came to laugh at her, they are really bored.

Liao Qingqing rolled her eyes at the two people in her heart, and then said, "That won't happen. The emperor has come to my sister's place after all, but I'm afraid the emperor doesn't even know which direction your courtyard gate faces? Aren't you sisters going to cry?"

When it comes to sarcasm, Liao Qingqing has never been afraid of anyone.

Liao and Jiang were immediately unhappy.

Jiang Fangyi said seriously, "Liao Ronghua, how can you talk to Liao Jieyu like this?"

Liao Qingqing asked back, "Why can't I talk to her like this?"

Jiang Fangyi looked very hurt and said, "Liao Ronghua, we are sisters. Even if you don't like me, you can say it directly to me. I have a lower rank than you, so I can accept it. But it's different for Concubine Liao. Concubine Liao is your cousin. Not only does Uncle Liao have a higher rank than your father, but Concubine Liao's rank is also higher than yours. You should at least show her some respect.

" "Oh, really? Can you tell me where I'm disrespectful to her?" Liao Qingqing asked again, "Aren't I stating the facts? Since when did the Wei Dynasty forbid people to tell the truth?"

Jiang Fangyi was immediately scolded.

Concubine Liao originally wanted to see Liao Qingqing heartbroken, but instead of seeing Liao Qingqing crying, she was angry with her.

She was instantly unhappy and shouted, "Liao Qingqing, what's your attitude?"

He Xiang felt nervous when she heard this. Although Concubine Liao was not a big shot in the palace, her position was higher than the master's, and the master had to respect Concubine Liao.

She was anxious.

Liao Qingqing said calmly, "The attitude of treating a good sister." She deliberately emphasized the word "good".

"I dare not be your good sister." Concubine Liao said.

"Then what are you doing here?" Liao Qingqing asked back.

"I came here to teach you a lesson." Concubine Liao said as if it was a matter of course.

"Teach me?" Liao Qingqing asked back.

"That's right." Concubine Liao felt that she had finally made a move. She stood up straight and said arrogantly: "Liao Ronghua, I am Concubine Liao and you are Ronghua. You have to listen to me. Privately, I am the elder sister and you are the younger sister. If you do something wrong, I can teach you a lesson." He Xiang

was anxious, especially afraid that her master would suffer a loss.

Liao Qingqing smiled and said, "How are you going to teach me?"

"First, let you learn a lesson? Otherwise, my father and your father will blame me for not taking good care of you in the harem." Concubine Liao then shouted, "Kneel down!"

She wanted Liao Qingqing to kneel down.

Liao Qingqing did not kneel.

Concubine Liao tilted her head slightly and said to the two maids behind her: "Come here, let Liao Ronghua kneel down."

The two maids had been in the palace for many years. After receiving the order, she was a little hesitant. After all, Liao Ronghua was the most favored person of Emperor Jingli a few days ago. If she punished him now, would it make Emperor Jingli unhappy?

On second thought, Emperor Jingli never asked about the affairs of the harem. Usually, he would forget about them after sleeping and never remember them again. This was Emperor Jingli's habit for many years and he had never broken it.

I guess Liao Ronghua is the same, otherwise Concubine Liao and Jiang Fangyi would not dare

to Besides, Concubine Liao is of higher status than Liao Ronghua, and she is Liao Ronghua's cousin, so it is reasonable to teach Liao Ronghua.

So they walked towards Liao Qingqing.

He Xiang stepped forward quickly, and before she could kneel, Liao Qingqing grabbed her. She looked at Liao Qingqing in surprise.

Liao Qingqing looked like she was sure of victory.

At this moment, a deep and dignified voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard: "I'll see who dares to touch my people?"

The author has something to say: -

Liao Qingqing: I'm going to show off my skills!

Emperor Jingli: Qingqing, get out of the way, let me do it!

Liao Qingqing: ? ? ?
