Chapter 305: Exclusive Favor
This is what she came to the conclusion after being with many men.
If she told the truth, she would only be tortured again and again by the other party, and they would not stop until she gave them an answer that satisfied them.
So she would say this to every man whenever he asked.
When you feel comfortable, the other person feels comfortable too.
Sure enough, Rongyu was very excited after hearing this and wanted to come again.
Bai Rushui turned her back to him and said, "I'm tired!"
Seeing that she was so tired, Rongyu couldn't bear to bother her, so he kissed her forehead and turned around to get out of bed.
He ordered, "Prepare water."
Rongyu stayed overnight in Changhua Palace. The news spread throughout the palace in just half a cup of tea.
Concubine Li was so angry that she smashed the Ruyi given by the emperor.
The palace maids knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.
Xiaozhi, the maidservant who came with Concubine Li Shu, whispered, "Don't be angry, Madam. Take care of yourself. The eldest son still depends on you!"
Concubine Li Shu thought of Tuan Ge'er and finally calmed down. She hurriedly ordered, "Go and bring Tuan Ge'er here quickly."
"Your Highness, you've forgotten that the Emperor sent a teacher to teach the young master a few days ago."
She felt distressed when she talked about this. Tuan Ge was only three years old, but he was arranged to study for an hour every day. But she could not refuse. After all, the emperor had high hopes for him.
"It's all because of that Saintess of Nanzhao that I'm upset."
Xiaozhi advised, "Your Majesty, you must remain calm. I believe the Emperor is only interested in this for a short time. The eldest son is the Emperor's only child. As long as Your Majesty remains calm, the position of Empress will be within reach!"
Concubine Li Shu: "How can I not understand this? I am just angry.
Is there any woman who truly loves and values her husband and is willing to give him up to someone else?
Xiaozhi had no choice. There were so many flowers in the palace, who could favor just one?
She could only console him, "Your Majesty, there's still the Empress Dowager. If this Nanzhao girl dares to seduce the Emperor, she won't be able to get past the Empress Dowager either!"
Concubine Li Shu thought of the Queen Mother and nodded.
Yes, with the Empress Dowager in charge, this Nanzhao woman would not end up in any good situation even if she did not take action.
Many people in the palace thought so, believing that the emperor was just curious for the moment and had never tasted exotic customs, and that the novelty would last for a while.
In the end, Rongyu slapped everyone in the face.
Ever since he favored Bai Rushui that day, all kinds of rewards and rare treasures have been sent to Changhua Palace like a stream of water.
After court every day, he no longer went to visit the concubines, but only went to Changhua Palace.
For a time, there was resentment in the palace.
Some concubines even wrote letters to their families, asking their fathers and brothers to impeach the Nanzhao witch for seducing the emperor.
Rong Yu was troubled every day. The impeachment not only did not make him restrain himself, but made him go deeper into Changhua Palace. The ministers and concubines in the harem were helpless.
The empress dowager listened to the palace maids' report and the rosary in her hand clicked.
The Queen Mother stared at the scattered Buddhist beads on the ground, her eyes slightly gloomy.
Nanny Chang hurried to pick up the beads scattered on the ground.
"Stop it."
At the Queen Mother's command, no one dared to move.
Nanny Chang was puzzled: "My Lady?
The Queen Mother glanced at the broken rosary and ordered, "Go and call that Nanzhao girl over, so I can see what kind of beauty could have captivated the Emperor to such an extent!"
Nanny Chang hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is in high spirits. If we call her now, will it be..."
The Queen Mother slammed her palm on the table:
"What? Just because she's a Nanzhao woman, she can disobey the etiquette and laws of the Dayin Dynasty!
She has been in the palace for more than a month, and has not yet paid her respects to an old woman like me. What if I teach her some manners?
Seeing how angry the Empress Dowager was, Nanny Chang didn't dare to say anything more. She said respectfully, "Old slave, I will go and invite her myself."
As Nanny Chang and her group left Changshou Palace, the young eunuch planted by Rongyu saw them not far away and hurried to report to the emperor.
Nanny Chang led people into Changhua Palace. It was not as luxurious as she had imagined, but rather very simple.
Bai Rushui was wearing all white and sitting there reading quietly.
Xiao Ling naturally recognized Nanny Chang and hurriedly greeted her:
"Madam Chang, does the Queen Mother have any instructions?"
Nanny Chang didn't look at Xiao Ling, but just stared at Bai Rushui and said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager Bai Guiren invites you."
Bai Rushui was stunned for a moment.
This was the first time she heard that there was a Queen Mother in the palace since she entered it.
She then understood that it might be because the emperor had come here too many times recently.
She put down the book and said calmly, "Let's go."
Nanny Chang had never expected this Nanzhao woman to be so sensible. All the people she brought with her were useless.
"Please come in, sir."
Bai Rushui followed Nanny Chang to the Changshou Palace.
"Your Majesty, Consort Bai has arrived."
The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and looked at her carefully. She did have a good figure.
The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "Why are you wearing a veil?"
Bai Rushui replied truthfully: "This is the rule of Nanzhao Kingdom."
The Queen Mother was displeased: "Since we are in Dayin, we must follow Dayin's rules and take off our veil."
Bai Rushui hesitated for a moment, then obediently took off her veil.
The Queen Mother was so shocked by the appearance of the woman in front of her that she couldn't utter a word.
Nanny Chang also took a sneak peek and was stunned.
I exclaimed in my heart: What should I do?
No wonder the emperor was bewitched!
This appearance would confuse not only men but also women.
Nanny Chang glanced at the Empress Dowager cautiously.
The Queen Mother was also dazzled by her beauty.
Madam Chang called out softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The Queen Mother finally came back to her senses, and Bai Rushui put on her veil again.
This time the Queen Mother said nothing, and suggested that she wear a veil to avoid disturbing people.
As soon as Rong Yu came home from court, he heard that Bai Rushui had been taken away by the Queen Mother. He rushed over in a hurry.
When he arrived at Changshou Palace, he was already sweating profusely, and Changxi was also sweating profusely behind him.
Seeing that Bai Rushui was not being bullied by the Queen Mother, he felt much more at ease.
The Queen Mother looked unhappy when she saw Rongyu so flustered.
"What are you doing?"
Nanny Chang quickly poured water for the emperor.
The Queen Mother sneered, "Why are you afraid of what I will do to your beloved?"
Unexpectedly, Rong Yu didn't appreciate it at all: "If the Queen Mother has any dissatisfaction, just come to me. Ru Shui did nothing!"
The Queen Mother clutched her chest in anger.
"Listen, listen! What nonsense are you talking about! Have you made up your mind about what I will do to her?
If it weren't for my painstaking planning, would you have been able to ascend to the throne?"
Rongyu couldn't hold it anymore:
"Since mother doesn't like me so much, why not ask the second son to come back? I've had enough of being the emperor, so let the throne go to the second son!"
The Queen Mother pointed at him and sternly said, "Now that you've grown so powerful, you're going to piss me off to death!"
Nanny Chang also hurriedly advised: "The Emperor and the Empress Dowager have been working hard for you all day long. You shouldn't say such words to hurt her feelings!"
Rong Yu said bitterly:
"You always want to control me. What's the point of being the emperor?"
I have to do what the ministers say in the court, and when I return to the palace, my mother wants me to do what she wants. You threaten me if I don’t do what you think. Who is really here for me?
I just want to have someone I know and talk to, but you want to deprive me of even that. I'd rather not be the emperor!"
