Chapter 5 You Stay Here Tonight
The draft is over.
The beauties selected this time all got the lowest rank of beauty.
They followed the palace maids and looked at every corner of the harem curiously.
Only Bai Wutong showed no interest at all.
In her opinion, this place was nothing more than a cage for these human women.
Once you step in, you will never be able to leave in this life.
No matter how luxurious it is, how can it compare to the world outside?
The palace servants brought them to the palace complex in the southeast corner, which was also where the concubines stayed every year.
Only by serving the emperor in bed and gaining his favor can one move to a better place.
The palace maid was an elderly nanny who was also the Queen Mother's right-hand man. "My ladies, according to the rules, the two of you live in the same place. I hope you can get along well with each other and not cause any trouble. Once you enter the palace, serving the Emperor and getting pregnant with the heir are the most important things."
Although they are all beauties, there are differences between them.
Women like Gao Jingwan, who have a plump figure and many children in their family, can live in the main hall.
The nanny's eyes fell on Bai Wutong. Seeing her slender figure, she didn't even call her by her honorific name and said, "You can live with me in Lanxin Pavilion."
Gao Jingwan's face suddenly changed. "Mammy, how can you let such an unlucky person like her live with me? What if it affects my pregnancy with a dragon heir?"
The nanny's attitude towards her became three times better. "This is what the Empress Dowager wants. Please don't embarrass me."
"Forget it." Gao Jingwan glared at Bai Wutong fiercely, then turned and walked into Lanxin Pavilion.
Bai Wutong didn't respond and followed behind.
Lanxin Pavilion is just a small palace.
The main hall is slightly larger, while the side hall is more than half smaller, with only three rooms.
A bedroom, a bathroom, and an ear room.
Bai Wutong looked around and sat on the couch.
Half an hour later.
Two palace maids and a eunuch came to the side hall.
The three of them knelt down at the same time, "Your servants, your servants greet the queen."
According to the rules of the palace, beauties have the lowest status and can only have one palace maid to serve them personally and one eunuch to do miscellaneous tasks. Unless you bribe the Imperial Household Department, you can only get people who are not very smart.
As for the extra one, she was a maid that Bai Wutong brought from outside the palace, and was also selected by her nominal father, Xun Mingzhi.
"Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, my lady."
Bai Wutong waved, and Lianxin trotted forward, her chubby face full of smiles, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, you finally got what you wanted!"
"Don't be so sweet-talking. From now on, you will be in charge of everything here. If you are undecided, come and ask me. I'm tired. You all can go out now."
"Yes." The three of them retreated together.
After receiving Bai Wutong's order, Lianxin became the head maid in this side hall.
She unceremoniously sent the two of them outside and stood guard at the dormitory door alone.
The sun sets and the moon rises.
A group of young eunuchs holding lanterns came to the gate of Lanxin Pavilion.
Gao Jingwan heard the noise and went out happily. She knew that the emperor would definitely pick her name first!
She is so beautiful and has a good figure, but she is the concubine with the best hope of getting pregnant in the entire palace!
Gao Jingwan tiptoed, "Your Majesty, is it..."
Before he finished speaking, a eunuch shouted, "The emperor has turned over the card, and Lady Bai will sleep with him!"
What?
White beauty?
Gao Jingwan swayed, filled with disappointment. How could it be her?
She ignored etiquette and rushed straight to the young eunuch, shouting, "You must have made a mistake. Bai Wutong is ugly and as thin as a bamboo pole. How could the emperor pick her card!"
"This is the Emperor's order. Please make way. I need to go in and tell Lady Bai the rules of sleeping with me!"
inside the house.
Lian Xin's face was filled with joy, she was so happy that she was at a loss as to what to do, "Great, the emperor has picked your name card, Miss, no, Madam, I will help you put on makeup and try to make the emperor fall in love with you at once!"
Bai Wutong sat in front of the mirror, and his originally tense heart finally calmed down.
It seems that the emperor really likes me like this.
This can be considered a good start, and she is more confident about her revenge in the future.
The eunuch came in and lowered his head to give instructions on the next sleeping arrangements.
Before he finished speaking, another palace maid, Chan'er, came over quickly and reported, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's people are here."
Bai Wutong immediately straightened his clothes and walked out of the side hall.
The maid who came was the same one from before. She was tall and fat, with a look of contempt on her face. "The Empress Dowager has ordered you to go to Yongshou Palace."
After that, she looked at the eunuch beside her and said, "Let's change the person who sleeps with you today to Concubine Gao."
The eunuch looked embarrassed, "This..."
"The Queen Mother is not feeling well, and asked Lady Bai to go over and chant sutras, so she can't sleep with you. Don't you even listen to the Queen Mother's words?"
The eunuch smiled awkwardly, "I don't mean that. Then... I will report to the emperor and ask his opinion first."
The nanny waved her hands impatiently. In the end, the emperor would obey the empress dowager's wishes anyway.
She looked at Bai Wutong again, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and leave!"
How could Bai Wutong not understand that the Queen Mother was clearly deliberately preventing him from sleeping with the Queen Mother?
But the other party gave the order personally, and she was unwilling to do so, so she had no choice but to obey.
But she didn't want to give up yet. The opportunity was right in front of her, and there was no reason not to seize it. "Let's wait for the emperor's order first."
"Hmph, then you wait. The Emperor is filial, but he always listens to the Empress Dowager's wishes."
Half an hour later.
The eunuch finally came back, but this time he no longer called out Bai Wutong's name, "Lady Gao, please sleep with me!"
Gao Jingwan was so excited that she almost jumped up, but her body was heavy and only her flesh trembled.
She glanced at Bai Wutong with pride, then went in happily to clean up.
Mammy urged, "Beauty Bai, did you hear that?"
"I heard you." Bai Wutong forced a smile, "I will go to Yongshou Palace now."
Lian Xin, who was standing beside her, was extremely anxious, but she could not make a decision. She could only grab a handful of gold leaves and stuff them into the maid's hand, "Please tell me clearly what is wrong with the Queen Mother, so that our master can know what is going on."
Mammy looked at the gold leaf in her hand and her face became better. "Since you are so understanding, I will give you a few words. The Queen Mother is worried about the heir every day, so she is not feeling well. Do you understand?"
The implication was that the physical discomfort was fake, and the real reason was that he didn't want Bai Wutong to sleep with him.
It’s just that you are the first one to be picked by the emperor, and you can get this treatment.
Bai Wutong sneered in his heart, knowing that he was the one with the best chance of getting pregnant in the entire harem.
Even though she transformed into a human form and lost the opportunity to practice, her demon body remained unchanged, making it very easy for her to conceive.
The Queen Mother really cares about her good son!
Bai Wutong walked out of the side hall and followed the nanny to Yongshou Palace.
Gao Jingwan listened to the noise outside and smiled very proudly, "Humph, you used that foxy face to seduce the emperor, you deserve it!"
Bai Wutong followed the nanny all the way to Yongshou Palace.
The nanny suddenly stopped and pointed to an outer Buddhist temple in the palace, "You will stay here temporarily today."
"Didn't you say that the Queen Mother was not feeling well and I came to serve her?"
"Who told you to wait for the emperor's order? You've been delayed for so long. The empress dowager has already gone to bed. You can just recite the sutras and rest inside."
After saying this, the nanny walked quickly into the main hall without waiting for Bai Wutong to reply.
Bai Wutong took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and entered the Buddhist hall.
The room is not big and is filled with a strong scent of sandalwood.
There is only a small couch for people to rest.
Fortunately, she has a slim figure, otherwise she would not be able to sleep well.
The moon is at its zenith.
Bai Wutong looked at the starry night sky through the small window.
The current emperor should already be favoring Gao Jingwan...
She slowly closed her eyes and warned herself.
Don't worry, since the emperor likes her, he will definitely let her sleep with him again!
