Chapter 210: Fighting for Favor
【Wow! Concubine Hui is so brave! 】
[No wonder the Queen is afraid of her. How could she not be afraid? 】
[I treat you as a sister, but you actually want to sleep with me! 】
Lu Chaochao's eyes were burning, but she didn't dare to move at all, for fear of disturbing the two people outside the curtain.
There were tears in Concubine Hui's eyes. She bit her lower lip and sobbed softly.
"At that time, Your Majesty had a severe cold and high fever, and the imperial physician couldn't reduce the fever, and you kept complaining of being cold. Hui'er felt distressed, and in desperation, she climbed onto the bed!" Yes, she was completely naked.
"What's so good about being a man?"
"If you snore when you sleep, even if you take a shower eight hundred times a day, you will still stink."
"He has countless concubines in his harem, unlike me, who only has Wanwan in his heart."
"Yes, he has given you great honor, but has he ever really cared about you? He has never paid attention to what you like to eat, what you think, and what you can't eat."
"He gives you status, but not emotion. Are you really willing to accept this?"
"The palace is lonely and the nights are long. He has countless concubines, but what about Wanwan? He never cares about Wanwan's emotions. I am different."
"I am always keeping an eye on Wanwan. Wanwan entered the palace at the age of fifteen and is still a simple child."
"How scared it must be for such a petite person to wear gorgeous clothes and face the harem that eats people without leaving any bones. He didn't even support you, leaving you to face wolves and tigers alone at such a young age."
"At that time, you were secretly hiding in the quilt and crying. I knew it all." Thanks to the emperor, Concubine Hui finally had time alone with the queen. How could she not take the opportunity to express her true feelings?
"I feel bad, really bad."
While the Queen was stunned, Concubine Hui suddenly grabbed her hand.
[Wow, Concubine Hui is holding the Queen’s hand! 】
The Queen shuddered with fear, and Concubine Hui shed a tear. She whispered, "Wanwan didn't want to enter the palace. Wanwan has no control over her life. I dare not force Wanwan. As long as I can talk to Wanwan and see Wanwan, it is what I want in this life."
The Queen paused, and Concubine Hui's face showed a look of secret delight.
Just when he was about to take the opportunity to hug the queen, he heard Lu Chaochao mumbling in his sleep behind the curtain: "Yuyu, don't run..."
Concubine Hui was so frightened that she let go suddenly.
The queen's heart was pounding and she hurriedly took two steps back: "Don't make trouble!" Her usually solemn brows were now slightly flustered.
"Chao Chao, are you having a nightmare?"
When the Queen saw Lu Chaochao rubbing her eyes and sitting up, and caught a glimpse of Concubine Hui leaving in disappointment from the corner of her eye, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
So scary.
Every time Concubine Hui touched her, she got goosebumps all over her body.
"It was a nightmare."
"I dreamed that someone was fishing in the sea, and all the fish in the sea were about to be caught in a net..." Lu Chaochao said softly, hugging the queen's neck.
"Silly child, how can you catch all the fish in the sea..." The queen had no daughter, so she loved the soft and tender Chaochao very much.
Besides, Rong Che has a crush on Chaochao’s mother, so she has to try to gain some favorability from him.
Got to help my stupid brother.
The queen dressed Lu Chaochao in thick clothes, wrapped her up tightly, and personally carried her to the imperial study.
A group of old ministers came out of the imperial study and greeted Lu Chaochao and the queen.
The queen carried Lu Chaochao into the palace.
"Have you reconciled with Concubine Hui?" The emperor put down the memorial and pinched his brows.
For some reason, his eyelids have been twitching these days.
The queen hesitated for a moment: "Yes."
Emperor Xuanping smiled: "Concubine Hui is gentle and considerate. I knew you two could get along well."
"Thinking back to when Concubine Hui entered the palace, many concubines in the harem resisted her."
All the concubines were selected through selection or arranged marriage, except her, who was brought back personally by Emperor Xuanping after being beaten with a stick.
At that time, the concubines often put obstacles in her way.
"Do you remember? The most aggressive Concubine Jiang pointed at her nose and called her a vixen on the day she entered the palace."
"What about now? Jiangpin always remembers her for everything good, and has a very good relationship with her."
The emperor couldn't help feeling relieved when he thought of Concubine Hui.
[Your harem is full of fish she raises...]
As I was talking, suddenly...
There was a loud noise outside.
"No noise is allowed outside the imperial study!" Eunuch Wang shouted immediately.
There were bursts of crying outside the door, and Eunuch Wang hurried in to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jiang and Concubine Qin are fighting!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Jiang and Concubine Qin came in, pulling each other's hair and crying.
As soon as they entered the door, they knelt down with a plop.
"Please, Your Majesty, please ask the Queen to make the decision."
"Jiang Concubine is too domineering!"
"It's obviously Concubine Qin who is unreasonable!"
The two men grabbed each other's hair and refused to let go. There was a mark on each other's face, which showed that the fight was extremely fierce.
Both men blamed each other.
The emperor was troubled by what he heard: "What's going on? Fighting is so disgraceful!" The emperor looked ugly.
The queen held Lu Chaochao in her arms and sat on one side.
His eyes were blank, and I didn't know what he was thinking.
"Princess Jiang is too overbearing. I got up early in the morning to make ginseng soup. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. She actually wants to pour it out for me!" Concubine Qin cried.
Jiangpin refused to give in: "Bitch, I was the first one to get here. If you want to drink, drink mine first!"
Sure enough, the maids behind the two men were each carrying a food box.
"Drink mine first!"
"Drink mine first. I have a higher position, so drink mine first!"
The two men actually fought in front of the emperor, who was quite surprised.
Concubine Jiang and Concubine Qin haven't competed for favor or sent him soup for many years!
"Wang Yuanlu, open the food box and take a look." The emperor waved his hand.
Two food boxes were opened and placed on the table.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll treat you all equally! Drink it all, drink it all, okay?" It's strange to say, but in previous years, the concubines in the harem had come up with endless means to win favor.
In recent years, I have been much more peaceful.
The emperor was quite surprised to suddenly see a fight between two people for favor.
The emperor brought up the ginseng soup, and Concubine Qin became anxious: "Hey... wait..." She unconsciously let go of Concubine Jiang's hair.
Looking at the emperor, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
The emperor smiled and said, "I treat everyone equally. I will never be partial to one person or the other. Concubine Jiang, I haven't forgotten you either!"
He picked up Jiang Pin's bowl again.
"Ah?" Concubine Jiang looked at him hesitantly and let go of Concubine Qin's hair.
"Your Majesty, actually, actually..." Concubine Qin pulled Concubine Jiang, and Concubine Jiang suddenly stopped talking, but her face looked very ugly.
It was even uglier than the fight just now.
The emperor took a sip from his left bowl, then a sip from his right bowl, and looked at the two of them: "Am I fair?"
The two of them were like eggplants wilted by frost, with their heads drooping and their eyes dull, as if they had suddenly lost their souls.
"Fair... fair."
"Fair... fair." The two of them stammered.
They watched the emperor drink up the ginseng soup without leaving a single sip, and the light in their eyes went out.
"Don't fight for me next time."
"Go find Concubine Hui to relieve your boredom." The emperor waved his hand.
The two men bowed and left, looking unhappy.
Lu Chaochao saw some signs and screamed like a groundhog in her heart.
[Look, it doesn’t seem like she’s trying to win favor for the Emperor…]
[No, the one you are fighting for is Concubine Hui, right? 】Lu Chaochao felt that she might have discovered the truth!
[Oh my god!] ! 】
[Has the situation developed to the point of a full-blown fight?] 】
[There are too many fish, so the boat won’t capsize, right? 】
