Then Lady Wen sat in front of the mirror and began to play with her hair. She then asked Xi Que to come and help her comb her hair and choose jewelry and clothes.
Xi Que picked up the comb and began to comb her hair slowly. The skin on her wrists was faintly visible, and several scars were clearly visible.
Lady Wen grabbed Xi Que's wrist and asked, "Does it hurt?"
The magpie said calmly, "This servant does not feel any pain. The beauty's whipping is a reward to this servant."
"Hahaha."
Lady Wen burst into laughter. Outside the door, a little eunuch with a round face and round eyes watched this scene. He clenched his hands tightly and looked inside with red eyes.
After dressing up, Lady Wen called the young eunuch over and said, "Go and find out the emperor's itinerary. Once you find out, come and tell me."
"yes."
Lady Wen asked Xi Que, "Who is more beautiful, me or the Queen?"
"Of course the beauty is more beautiful. The queen has long been old and her beauty has faded. She can't compare with the beauty."
But after hearing this, Lady Wen immediately became furious, "You mean, when I grow old and lose my beauty, I won't be able to compare to the Queen."
"No, that's not what I meant. Even if the beauty is old, she is still more beautiful than the queen."
With a slap, Lady Wen slapped Xi Que's face hard. "How ridiculous! Do you know what I'm going to do now? I'm going to use aphrodisiacs to win the emperor's heart."
"I never thought that in my prime years, I would resort to such means. It's really ridiculous and pathetic."
Then, the house was filled with the screams of magpies and the sound of whips.
The young eunuch came to the emperor's bedroom as if he knew the place well.
Seeing the guards at the door, the young eunuch said, "My lords, this is the chicken soup our beauty sent to the emperor. Please allow me to go in and deliver the chicken soup."
The guard stopped the young eunuch and said, "Your Majesty is not in the bedroom. You'd better leave quickly."
The young eunuch pretended to be surprised and said, "That's not right. When I went to get the chicken soup just now, I saw His Majesty's team heading towards the palace. Am I seeing things?"
The guard said, "You must be dazzled. His Majesty has gone to the Imperial Garden."
Another guard glared at him and said, "Your Majesty's whereabouts cannot be disclosed to others at will. Little eunuch, please leave quickly. Give me this chicken soup and I'll take it to the palace for you."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, sir."
After getting the information he wanted, the young eunuch hurried back to the palace to report. Little did he know that all this was the emperor's plan, and the guards' conversation was also what the emperor deliberately asked them to say.
When the young eunuch returned, he saw Xi Que, whose face was pale, and hatred grew in his eyes. However, he still kowtowed to Lady Wen respectfully and said, "The emperor has gone to the imperial garden."
"Okay, I understand. You can go down."
"Magpie, let's go."
Lady Wen touched the jade jewelry on her head, twisted her hips and walked out of the room.
The emperor was sitting in the pavilion in the imperial garden at this time, reading the memorials, pretending to be busy, but actually waiting for the fish to take the bait.
After waiting for a long time, the fish finally came.
Concubine Wen saw the emperor from a distance, but in order to avoid being too obvious, she decided to pretend that she met the emperor by chance.
Lady Wen bent down and gently stroked the flowers in the imperial garden. She leaned over to smell the fragrance of the flowers, closed her eyes, and smiled faintly in the direction of the emperor.
If I didn't know that the fish were coming, I have to say that this scene is still very beautiful.
The emperor looked at everything in front of him, drank a sip of tea, and watched Concubine Wen's performance silently without saying a word.
When Lady Wen opened her eyes, she immediately met the emperor's gaze, then looked away and smiled shyly.
He slowly stood up and walked towards the emperor.
When Lady Wen bowed to the emperor, her posture and voice really displayed the delicate beauty of a woman to the fullest.
"Stand up, how come you have the leisure and elegance to wander around the Imperial Garden today?"
Lady Wen began to talk nonsense: "I had a dream last night. The gods in the dream told me that there was a treasure in the imperial garden waiting for me to find it."
"After I woke up, I felt that the dream was incredibly real. So after lunch, while it was still daylight, I decided to follow the immortal's advice and go to the Imperial Garden to look for it. I never thought that I would actually encounter the treasure the immortal had mentioned."
Then Lady Wen looked at the emperor lovingly and said, "That treasure belongs to your Majesty."
The emperor laughed heartily. "Lady Wen is really good at speaking. She has touched my heart."
Afterwards, Lady Wen accompanied the emperor in the pavilion, drinking tea and reading memorials until it was dark and the air was getting colder. The eunuch said, "Your Majesty, it's dark and cold outside. If you don't go back now, you'll catch a cold."
The emperor looked up at the sky, touched his belly, and then looked at Concubine Wen meaningfully.
Concubine Wen immediately understood and said to the emperor in a sweet voice, "Your Majesty, please come to my palace tonight. I have prepared a table of delicious food for you."
"Okay, then let's go to the Beauty Palace."
Lady Wen smiled triumphantly behind him, thinking that her charm was so great that the emperor had taken the bait so easily. She would put the powder in the teacup during dinner that night, and the job would be done.
At dinner time, the palace maids brought out many dishes that were truly delicious. When it came to the last dish, Lady Wen said, "Finally, there is a soup. I learned how to make it for Your Majesty some time ago. Your Majesty, please wait for me. I will bring it to you myself."
"Okay, go ahead."
Looks like I'm going to start playing tricks.
Lady Wen came to the small kitchen, motioned for everyone to go out, took out the packet of medicine powder from her arms, and sprinkled it into the soup. This medicine powder can confuse people's minds. After drinking it, people will develop a deep love for the person in front of them. The effect of the medicine is very overbearing.
It is also colorless and odorless. People who take Chinese medicine don’t even know they are taking it, but think they really fall in love with it.
This medicine was also given to Lady Wen by the person behind the scenes.
After the powder was sprinkled, Lady Wen brought it into the room and placed it in front of the emperor. The emperor looked at the small bowl of soup in front of him and asked, "Why do I have it? My beloved concubine, don't you want to drink it?"
Lady Wen said, "This soup is filled with precious ingredients. I went through so much trouble to get them, so of course I can't bear to drink it."
The emperor looked at her deeply and said with a smile, "Well, my beloved concubine is thoughtful."
Then the emperor picked up the spoon, scooped a large spoonful, and when he was about to put it in his mouth, he suddenly stopped, which startled Concubine Wen.
The emperor said calmly, "Just drinking the soup is not enough. I want to drink it while watching my beloved concubine dance."
"good."
Then Lady Wen stood in the hall and began to dance.
"Wait!"
