Chapter 50 Purpose
Qing Tao led Sister Wei Shuang and her servant into the hall.
As soon as Sister Wei Shuang stepped into the hall, she was attracted by a jade carving of a mountain scene with figures placed at the door. As far as she knew, even the Imperial Household Department could not produce many of these rare jade ornaments. It must be something that only the Emperor had in his private treasury.
Unexpectedly, her cousin was so lucky that she could put it openly at the door without worrying about the servants bumping into it.
Turning left again, there is a carefully decorated small study, which is also where Yuying usually uses to greet the concubines who come to visit. At this moment, Yuying is already waiting inside.
Sister Wei Shuang was just marveling at the grand gesture at the door, but now that she has actually walked in, she has a new understanding of how favored Yuying is.
Presumably, the people in the harem were still kept in the dark. Otherwise, how could they sit still like this?
Sister Wei Shuang lowered her eyes, and her thick eyelashes hid the strange color flashing in her eyes.
Think about the purpose of your coming here. The more favored Wei Yuying is, the better it will be for her, right?
If we ignore the fact that her handkerchief was almost twisted to pieces, this statement would be somewhat believable.
Why! Why is Wei Yuying so lucky?
It was clearly she who met the emperor first, but why didn't the emperor see her? He even refused to give her a proper position after she gave birth to a child. How could Wei Yuying become a noble lady?
Thinking back to the two days when she went out, how could she not hate Concubine Hui for her disdain and ridicule?
As a concubine, unless the emperor summoned her to the bedchamber, she needed to ask the queen for permission before going out every day. She could only leave the palace with the queen's approval. Naturally, she also needed to pay her respects to the queen when she returned to the palace.
"Why? Are you trying to curry favor with your cousin because she's become successful?"
"It doesn't matter whether they are willing to pay attention to you."
"Oh, you're back after getting a cold shoulder? Look what I said."
"People don't like you, why are you still trying to lick their faces?"
"Yes, you should go. Go and learn from your cousin. How come people with the same surname Wei are so different from each other? One is held in high esteem by the emperor, but the other has probably been forgotten by him a long time ago, right?"
"Different people have different fates!"
Concubine Hui's words were still vivid in her mind. Sister Wei Shuang used all her strength to restrain this malicious intent and not let it show even a little bit.
Yuying only felt a strong gaze staring at herself, so she looked up.
This was the first time Yuying met her original cousin, the historical Concubine Liang.
How can I put it? She really lived up to her reputation as a beautiful concubine.
She was wearing a coral-red Manchu dress made of Shu brocade. She had a slender figure and walked slowly towards Yuying. Yuying suddenly felt that the room was brightened.
Wait until she comes closer and then take another look.
If Yuying's appearance is the kind of beauty that is not sharp, with the misty rain of the Jiangnan water town, coupled with Yuying's temperament of being weak and vulnerable as long as she doesn't speak, people would want to give in to her before they even open their mouths.
Sister Wei Shuang's beauty was aggressive, bright and flamboyant. Her fox eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, were slightly raised at the ends, and seemed to give off endless charm.
This is a woman who can make men want to sleep with her just by standing there, Yuying concluded in her heart.
Yuying marveled at sister Yu Weishuang's good looks, but she didn't know that it was because of her looks that Concubine Hui chose her at the time. After all, she was chosen specifically to look like Concubine Yi in order to share Concubine Yi's favor.
It was a pity that she was not up to the task and was abandoned by Kangxi after giving birth to the Eighth Prince. Seeing that she was useless, Concubine Hui naturally stopped treating her well.
"My maidservant greets Lady Jin, may you be blessed."
Yuying frowned slightly. Her humble appearance was very different from what she remembered, and it directly affected her beauty.
"Get up. Qing Tao will take a seat."
"Thank you, Lady Jin." Sister Wei Shuang sat on the embroidery stool opposite Yuying.
She just sat there and didn't say anything.
Yuying could only speak for herself: "What brought you here today, cousin?"
Hearing the familiar name, Sister Wei Shuang seemed to straighten her back again, "You look rosy, are you feeling better?"
"I'm much better now. Thank you for your concern, cousin." Yuying was not sick to begin with, so her face was naturally rosy.
Sister Wei Shuang smiled and said, "That's good."
There was no more conversation between the two.
Yuying was no longer spoiled. She slowly poured herself a cup of tea and savored it carefully.
Anyway, she wasn't the one who was anxious. It was quite amusing to see Sister Wei Shuang hesitate to speak, so Yuying just treated it as a change of expression.
Seeing that Yuying stopped talking, Wei Shuangjie's expression twisted for a moment. In the past, she was always superior to Gao Yuying at home. Now, asking her to greet Yuying with a smile was already the limit. Could it be that she was asked to beg her? Bitch!
But, when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
"Sister, could you please ask all the servants to leave first? I have something to say to you."
Yuying agreed to her request, "Qingtao, you all should go out first."
"My lady..." Qing Tao wanted to stay in the hall, fearing that Sister Wei Shuang had come with bad intentions.
Yuying gave her a reassuring smile, indicating that she was fine.
Qingtao had no choice but to retreat, but she did not forget to close the door.
When they were the only two left in the hall, Sister Wei Shuang finally stopped pretending.
"Wei Yuying, you have to help me!" This is the arrogant and domineering Sister Wei Shuang in my memory, who can't see the situation clearly and is rude and unreasonable.
"Help you? What can I help you with?" Yuying asked curiously.
"Help me win favor!"
"Puchi——" She did not hide her feelings at all, "Cousin, why should I help you? I wish the emperor would only favor me. Why should I share my favor with others?" At this moment, Yuying looked like the villain in the old TV dramas.
In response to this, Yuying said, there is only one word to describe it: awesome!
Hearing that Yuying was unwilling to help her, Sister Wei Shuang stood up suddenly and pointed at Yuying, "Wei Yuying! Don't be ungrateful! We are sisters, isn't it your duty to help me? Help me win favor and let me sit on the seat of the noble."
"Cousin, your sister is only a noble lady now. You asked for the position of a noble lady right away. How can I have such ability?"
Before coming here, Sister Wei Shuang only wanted a position as a concubine. But after seeing the scene in Yuying's palace, she felt that it would not be difficult to get a noble person as long as Wei Yuying was willing to help her with all her strength?
"How do you know if you don't try? As long as it works, I can give you the Eighth Prince." Sister Wei Shuang thought she had given up the temptation that Yuying couldn't refuse. After all, Yuying had been favored for so long, and she was still not pregnant. She must be anxious in her heart. If she was willing to give her a prince at this time, she would definitely agree!
As for herself? As long as she is favored, it's just one child, and there will be more in the future.
Perhaps because of the previous example of Concubine De giving the Fourth Prince to the Imperial Noble Concubine, her cousin also had the same idea.
It seems that in history, her cousin was able to sit in the position of Concubine Liang thanks to her son, Yuying thought to herself.
But, give the Eighth Prince to myself?
Not to mention, Yuying was really moved. She didn't plan to have a child, and this child was not someone else, but the future Eighth Wise King. As long as he didn't fight for the throne, wouldn't she be able to live happily in her old age?
No matter how much she thought about it, Yuying still had to refuse.
"Isn't the Eighth Prince being raised by Concubine Hui? Why are you giving him to me?"
Hearing this, Sister Wei Shuang thought that Yuying was moved, and her eyes lit up. She moved closer to Yuying and told her about her plan.
Maybe she planned to make the Eighth Prince sick, and then let the Emperor accuse Concubine Hui of failing to take good care of him. At this time, Yuying would ask the Emperor for the custody of the Eighth Prince as his aunt, and the Emperor would definitely agree!
After hearing her plan, Yuying looked at her cousin as if she were a rare species.
There were so many complaints that she didn't know where to start.
"No, I won't agree to that. Go back!"
Sister Wei Shuang doesn’t understand!
Everything was fine just now, why did Yuying suddenly turn against me?
"Wei Yuying! You..."
"Knock knock—" There was a knock on the door.
The next second, Qing Tao's voice rang out, "My lady, Xiao Zhuozi has brought back breakfast. My lady, would you like to eat first?"
Yuying gave Qingtao a thumbs up in her heart, "Cousin, did you hear that? I'm going to eat, you can go back now!"
"You..." Sister Wei Shuang wanted to speak.
"Qingtao, come in and set the table!" Yuying didn't give her a chance to speak again and called her in directly.
Qing Tao came in with some people carrying things. Seeing that Sister Wei Shuang was still standing there and refused to leave, she said, "Please go back, Concubine Wei. My young master is going to have dinner, so it's inconvenient for me to entertain you."
In the end, Sister Wei Shuang stomped her feet and angrily returned to the Yanxi Palace with the palace maids around her.
What an ungrateful bitch!
Isn't it just because she has a face that the emperor likes? She actually dares to allow a servant to humiliate her.
Sister Wei Shuang was walking on the palace road with a distorted expression. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and walked away triumphantly.
If that face is ruined, how can you be proud of it?
Just wait and see!
