Chapter 202 The Fight of the Showgirls
A new favorite? Emperor Yuan Yong had no expectations at all.
He didn't think he would ever meet someone he loved more than the woman next to him.
Don't think he doesn't know, the person next to him is quite jealous. She just suppresses her jealousy and refuses to show it, but she can't hide it, so he always notices a little, which makes him laugh and cry.
Many times I subconsciously indulged her and coaxed her, not wanting to make her unhappy.
He had never thought about the matter of the concubines entering the palace. Now that she mentioned it, Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about it.
And I kind of can't bear it...can't bear to see her sad.
After all, she likes herself so much!
Xu Lanshan was indeed a little jealous after hearing his words. She snorted softly and said with a half-smile, "Your Majesty is naturally trying to make me happy right now. After all, I am pregnant with your child! But once the new person enters the palace, your Majesty will have someone new in his eyes and won't even remember me. Your Majesty, shouldn't I be preparing for a rainy day?"
Emperor Yuan Yong was even more confused and embarrassed. "Lan'er, how do you plan to prepare for this rainy day?"
Xu Lanshan thought for a moment and smiled, "This is really putting me in a difficult position! After all, the Emperor still owes me a favor. So, I'd like to ask the Emperor to promise me that even if the new bride enters the palace, I'll have to come to Lianyi Palace to visit me at least once every three days, no, five days, at least five days. How do you think that is?"
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Emperor Yuan Yong felt a little uncomfortable.
Is this all she wants?
You should know that now he comes to Ripple Palace almost every one or two days, and once he comes, he will not leave and will stay overnight.
This shows how much she doesn't trust him and how worried she is that he will be snatched away by a newcomer, with such humble conditions.
Emperor Yuan Yong felt an impulse in his heart. Otherwise, why not just stop the talent show? Why not just not have any newcomers at all?
He really couldn't bear to see her pitiful appearance.
After all, even if more new people entered the palace, what would it matter? New and old people were the same. After a long time, they were all made from the same mold, with no difference. He didn't think he would care about anyone.
After all, he already has the person he loves, right in front of him.
He still understood the differences between close and distant relatives, and he was not happy to make the people around him sad for the sake of some irrelevant so-called newcomer.
Emperor Yuan Yong hesitated to speak, and finally suppressed the impulse.
This is not the time to say that.
After all, the outcome of this draft is not decided by him alone, and all parties must weigh the pros and cons carefully.
Even if no one is left behind, proper arrangements must be made.
If he said everything now and couldn't do it later, she would be even more upset. It would be better to take it easy.
Then... wouldn't it be better to give her a surprise?
Thinking of this, Emperor Yuan Yong felt much more relaxed, as if something that had been hanging in his heart for a long time had been removed.
"What's that? How could I bear to come here once every five days? Whenever I enter the harem in the future, I will naturally come to Lan'er first. I mean what I say, don't let your imagination run wild."
Xu Lanshan's eyes sparkled: "Really? Your Majesty won't try to make me happy, will you?"
"I promised Lan'er, what can't I do?"
"Well, I will remember this! Since the emperor says so, I will believe him!"
The two smiled at each other.
Xu Lanshan took the initiative to hook her arm around his neck and moved closer, and Emperor Yuan Yong took the opportunity to kiss her lips...
Xu Lanshan happily talked and laughed with him about other things, as if all her previous worries and unhappiness had disappeared into the sky.
Emperor Yuan Yong smiled. He liked her wholehearted trust in him.
Of course, he wouldn't let her down.
As for Xu Lanshan, she knows very well that everything should be done in moderation.
The test must always be done step by step, like boiling a frog in warm water, without making any noise, and finally it will come to fruition.
Don't worry, there's still time.
The one who should be anxious right now is not her...
Nanny An quickly spread the news to Chuxiu Palace that the Queen would select fifteen beautiful girls to participate in the flower-viewing banquet.
After the concubines entered the palace, except for a very small number who were forced to do so, had a negative attitude, and hoped that they would not be selected, the rest of them more or less had some thoughts of currying favor with the rich and powerful.
After spending a few days together, the desire to compete has been stimulated and increased, and there have been many open and covert struggles.
But they were all harmless, and the aunts in charge turned a blind eye and didn't bother to care.
It would be abnormal if all the concubines were well-behaved and didn't cause trouble!
As long as everything is under control.
However, suddenly, the conflicts among the concubines became more acute, and the conspiracies and plots became more intense and fierce.
It wasn't until two concubines got into trouble, one lame and the other disfigured, that the farce implicated more than a dozen concubines. The aunts in charge were furious and questioned them. Only then did they learn that the concubines knew that the Empress would select fifteen people to attend the flower viewing banquet, and the dispute over these places had arisen...
The aunts in charge were shocked and angry, and scolded the concubines in a harsh tone.
The Queen had already sent someone to tell them this news, asking them to observe carefully and select the most outstanding ones to attend the banquet.
Not fifteen, but twenty.
They observed secretly without making any noise and did not tell any of the concubines, but they did not expect that they would find out in the end.
There was no point in trying to figure out how they knew this at this point.
Who knows who might be involved?
The aunts in charge were all shrewd people. They thought it was better to mind their own business, so no one mentioned investigating the source of the news. Instead, they just confirmed the news, but also gave them a warning.
If anyone dares to have such evil thoughts again, don't blame the palace rules for being ruthless. Not to mention attending the flower-viewing banquet, he will be expelled from the palace immediately.
Because the farce involved a large number of people and two concubines were seriously injured, the aunts in charge had no way to suppress it at all. They had no choice but to report it to the queen. Soon, the entire harem knew about it.
Lin Fei was a little stunned.
Was it that... seemingly harmless Concubine Chen who did this? She, she actually has such a method!
Concubine Shu was equally surprised, and smiled meaningfully, "Xu Lanshan is truly capable! She's done much better than I expected. I never expected someone so humble and gentle, but when it comes to fighting, she's just as ruthless! Ha!"
"I wonder what the Emperor would do if he knew her true identity..."
“What a pity!”
Unfortunately, the Emperor would never know that she was the one behind all this trouble. And she wasn't stupid enough to speak out about something she had no evidence for. If she did, it would be slander.
