Chapter 456: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (62)
After more than ten days of hard work, Li Taifu finally got all the officials to accept Shen Yi's disguise as a woman. He thought he could rest in peace, but unexpectedly received the news that the young emperor was selecting a beauty.
Because he found out too late, the young emperor had already canonized hundreds of people as concubines.
Li Taifu almost fainted from suffocation. He immediately rushed to the palace and found Lu Cha in the imperial study. He shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Your Majesty, do you think this old minister has lived too long and want him to die sooner?!"
"You are a woman! How can you choose a woman as your concubine?!"
"You've also conferred titles on hundreds of people. Does Your Majesty want to fill up the harem?!"
Lu Cha calmly poured a cup of tea for Li Taifu: "I am giving those women a place to stay."
Xiao Shan, who was standing nearby, explained, "Master Taifu, you may not know that the concubines who enter the palace are all women who have reached the age but are unwilling to marry anyone casually, or women who do not want to take care of a husband and raise children in this life."
"Your Majesty is doing this to prevent them from being influenced by rumors and doing something foolish."
Imperial Tutor Li also calmed down: "So Your Majesty is just going to keep them like this?"
Lu Cha shook her head. "These people are proficient in needlework. We can sell their handicrafts outside the palace, or we can keep them in the palace for use, thus reducing some of the palace's expenses."
Her original plan was to raise these young ladies.
As an emperor, he can still support hundreds of people.
But the young ladies disagreed and didn't want to eat and drink for free, so she thought of needlework.
After all, the palace also needs embroiderers.
Seeing that Li Taifu was hesitant to speak, Lu Cha smiled and said, "Teacher, you have lived for decades and should know better than me that reputation is not important."
"People live for themselves, not for others' mouths."
"How unpleasant it would be if we had to consider what others think when doing anything."
Li Taifu was stunned and swallowed back the words he wanted to say to Lu Cha: "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. It's just that this old minister didn't understand it at the moment."
Li Taifu drank his tea with mixed feelings, and suddenly felt:
Even if His Majesty announced the demise of the country now, he would not be surprised.
What I have experienced during this period is simply like weaving a piece of cloth with eight ounces of thread - too outrageous!
Just as depressed as Grand Tutor Li was Chen Yi of Chaoyang Palace.
Before the audition, Lu Cha would go to Luoxia Palace to accompany Shen Qiuxi whenever he was free, and rarely came to see him.
Now that all the concubines have entered the palace, Lu Cha no longer comes to see him, as if he does not exist.
Especially since Lu Cha had issued an order that no one was allowed to approach Chaoyang Palace and disturb Emperor Shen.
Although it was well-intentioned, there was laughter and joy everywhere else, but Chaoyang Palace was deserted. Shen Yi always had the illusion that he was banished to the cold palace.
This day.
As usual, Shen Yi moved a chair and sat in the yard, staring at the gate dimly.
He wanted to see when Sejun would remember him!
However, the sun sets.
Shen Yi did not wait for the bright yellow figure, but waited for Ying Yi instead.
"Pavilion Master, Gu Guifan has been tortured to insanity by our people and his body is almost unable to hold on. Does he need medical treatment?"
That day, Lu Cha handed Gu Guifan over to Ying Yi.
Shen Yi then ordered that the person be imprisoned in the dungeon of Chunxue Pavilion and tortured, and fed with various poisons.
In just a few days, Gu Guifan became unrecognizable as a human being, like a mad dog, imprisoned in a dungeon.
Shen Yi said impatiently: “Don’t bother with it, if he’s dead, just throw the body into the wild.”
Ying nodded in acceptance of the order.
Seeing Shen Yi getting up and going back to the hall to get a long skirt, and smiling extremely strangely, Ying boldly asked: "Where are you going, Pavilion Master?"
Shen Yi gritted his teeth: "Serve me in bed."
Since the mountain won't come to me, then I will go to the mountain!
-
At night.
Lu Cha hummed a little tune happily and walked towards the bedroom. He did not let Xiaoshan and the palace maids accompany him, as a way of giving them a break.
Not only did she taste the food made by the young ladies today, but she also made an appointment to go out of the palace for a trip together tomorrow!
When Lu Cha thought about all the beautiful young ladies surrounding him and calling him "Your Majesty" in a sweet voice, he couldn't help but smile.
It's so happy to be an emperor~
Lu Cha pushed open the palace door with emotion, and suddenly smelled an intoxicating sweet floral fragrance.
The main hall, which was usually brightly lit, now only had one palace lantern lit.
The thin bed curtains fell to the ground, and only the figure of a person sitting on the bed could be vaguely seen.
The warm yellow light adds a touch of ambiguity.
Lu Cha blinked and asked tentatively: "My beloved concubine?"
A slender, bony hand gently pushed aside the bed curtain, revealing only a tiny gap through which a pair of crimson lips could barely be seen.
Along with it came the man's soft and lazy voice:
"Why don't you come and see for yourself, Your Majesty?"
That flawless jade hand slowly stirred the bed curtain at its fingertips, revealing a desire that made people imagine.
Lu Cha's long eyelashes flickered.
The little villain is so good!
Unable to suppress her curiosity, she walked over and just as she lifted the bed curtain, her wrist was suddenly grabbed and she was pulled down onto the bed.
Only then did she realize that Shen Yi, who was kneeling beside her, was only wearing a thin purple robe.
The belt was tied loosely, revealing a large area of white chest.
In the light of the candle, it seemed as if a stream of light flashed by.
The outer robe just covers the most attractive and delicate parts.
Shen Yi pressed down lightly on Lu Cha's body, picked up a strand of her loose hair, and swirled it around his fingertips.
"I will stay and serve Your Majesty tonight, okay?"
The beauty raised her eyes to look at Lu Cha, her fox eyes were sparkling and full of autumn water, with a charming allure that could captivate people's hearts.
Lu Cha couldn’t help but hook Shen Yi’s belt, and just when he was about to answer with practical actions, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Your Majesty, I made some cakes to take with me for my trip out of the palace tomorrow. Would you like to try some?"
"I also brought your favorite roast chicken for you as a midnight snack."
Hearing that it was Chen Qiuxi's voice, Lu Cha paused and felt a little moved.
She hasn't eaten the pastries made by the little heroine yet!
But the villain is here...
It’s so hard to choose!
