The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 182: Virtuous People

While being at the mercy of Emperor Yongjia at night, Qin Liuse still had to act like a virtuous person during the day.

As autumn came, the affairs of the palace did not decrease even though the earth was becoming increasingly bleak and golden.

After Chuseok, it will soon be winter again.

Although there is still one or two months left, the weather can change at any time. No matter whether it comes early or late, the palace has to make preparations in advance.

However, Qin Liuse hopes that this year's autumn can be longer, so that there will be more happy days. After all, the winter is so bitterly cold that you have to be fully armed when you go out.

And now, she had to go out.

Spring and autumn are the best seasons to dress up, because summer is boring and people just want to wear less jewelry and travel in simple clothes; keeping cool is the most important thing.

But in spring and autumn, the temperature in the capital is the most pleasant, and Qin Liuse puts more thought into dressing up.

When going out today, Qingqing Zijin picked out a lotus pink skirt for her, and tied a patterned belt of the same color but slightly darker. She wore an inverted triangle necklace made of gold beads around her neck, and red and white gems in her hair.

The whole person is radiant, like the first rays of spring in the autumn, lively and charming.

Qin Liuse held up her pearl hairpin and hairpin. Qingqing looked at her in the mirror and thought that Qin Liuse didn't like it. "Zhaoyi, this is not eye-catching at all. It's Zhaoyi herself who is so attractive that she can't be low-key. This is not the most eye-catching jewelry awarded by the emperor. I have tried to choose the most low-key one!"

Qingqing said with a pout in grievance.

Qin Liuse was amused by her appearance, and holding her hairpin, she said, "I haven't said anything yet, but you are so quick-witted and keep talking."

In fact, she didn't think it was too eye-catching. She wanted to be high-profile and naturally wanted to dress up beautifully and go out for a walk.

But Qingqing would say that it was because she was too eye-catching and it couldn't be blamed on the jewelry she wore.

Qin Liuse smiled and said, "I was just thinking that the color of this dress suits my skin tone."

Qingqing chuckled and said, "It's our Zhaoyi who looks good and in good spirits."

Qin Liuse rolled her eyes at her and didn't want to listen to her flattery anymore. She took Aunt Mingyue's hand, stood up and went out.

When she walked to Yuxiu Palace, people along the way saluted her with admiration.

Qin Liuse had long been accustomed to this kind of gaze. Among these eyes, there were good and bad, envious and jealous. Now she was too lazy to confirm them.

She arrived at Yuxiu Palace in a radiant state. Concubine Wen happened to be there too, and Qin Liuse had intended to provoke her.

So she was very hated along the way. She was smiling and looked very happy, which made Lady Wen even more angry.

Everyone knows that Qin Zhaoyi is the favorite in the harem recently. What's even more hateful is that Emperor Yongjia summoned Qin Liuse tonight.

It's only morning now and we know it. This means that Emperor Yongjia made the decision early in the morning. We don't even need to turn over the sign tonight!

So how could Lady Wen not feel irritated when she looked at Qin Liuse?

Qin Liuse enjoyed the jealous look of Lady Wen, and only hoped that the anger in her eyes would burn even more vigorously, and it would be best if she could burn herself to death.

Lady Wen really disliked Qin Liuse. She sat down and said goodbye without saying a few words.

Concubine Li Xian comforted Qin Liuse virtuously, "That's the nature of Lady Wen. She has restrained herself a lot now. Please bear with her."

Qin Liuse certainly knew that she had restrained herself. Think about the former Concubine Wen, who was someone that even Concubine Ning didn't take seriously.

Qin Liuse smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't take it to heart."

Concubine Li was smiling with the corners of her lips pulled up, but what she was thinking in her heart was, how nice it would be if Qin Liuse had the same temper as Concubine Wen. She thought it was not a big deal, but it made Concubine Li unhappy.

Since she is so generous and not jealous like others, the emperor will love her even more.

Like other women, Concubine Li Xian hoped that Qin Liuse would fall out of favor as soon as possible.

A woman who is too favored will become a target of criticism in the eyes of other women in the harem, and it is best for her to fall from her perch as soon as possible.

Qin Liuse spoke to Concubine Li with a smile on her face, knowing that she was probably unhappy in her heart, but since she liked to pretend to be virtuous, then let her pretend to be virtuous to her heart's content.

After leaving Concubine Li's room, Qin Liuse thought that Concubine Zhou had been lying in the room for several days and was very bored, so she walked towards her room, wanting to chat with her to relieve her boredom.

When Zhou Cairen saw Qin Liuse coming, he smiled and asked her to sit beside the bed.

"How is it? Are you following the usual routine?" Qin Liuse asked as soon as she arrived. Seeing that Zhou Cairen looked fine, she knew that she had been lying down for the past few days to recuperate.

Zhou Cairen gently stroked her belly. Although she hadn't given birth yet, she looked like a loving mother. Even her voice was much gentler. "Just follow your sister's instructions. It won't be noticeable over there."

"That's good." Qin Liuse smiled, "Next month, there should be a reaction. When it's more stable, we can find a reason to ask the imperial physician to take the pulse. When the emperor knows, everything will be fine."

It was not impossible to tell Emperor Yongjia at this time, but the pulse was not obvious and the fetus was not stable. Qin Liuse was worried that she would end up with nothing, so after discussing it, they decided to wait until there was a reaction and a pulse before making the pregnancy public.

Zhou Cairen nodded. She knew all this and was afraid, so she was very obedient.

Zhou Cairen and Qin Liuse were chatting while asking the maid to find some snacks and refreshments.

The maid brought the things in. Qingqing was about to go over to help, but Bi Zijin stopped her.

Zijin sniffed and realized something was wrong as soon as she came in.

While bringing the tea to Qin Liuse, Zijin leaned over and whispered in Qin Liuse's ear, "Aromatherapy is harmful."

It was a short sentence, spoken in a low voice, but Qin Liuse caught it sensitively.

She paused as she took the teacup, but then returned to normal.

While opening the lid of the teacup and skimming off the floating leaves, Qin Liuse suppressed his surprise and thought about how to tell Zhou Cairen about this.

Moreover, her heart was trembling. Concubine Li was now much smarter and more vicious than she had thought.

Could it be that she has already noticed that something is wrong with Zhou Cairen?

Qin Liuse took a sip of tea and looked at Zhou Cairen, who was lying on the bed, kept in the dark and still smiling.

She seemed to mention it casually and said with a smile, "My sister has been lying in this room these days. Has that person over there taken care of her?"

Qin Liuse asked tactfully. She didn't want to expose Zijin, so she could only guide her quietly.

Zhou Cairen was a little puzzled when she heard this. They had just talked about this matter. As soon as she entered the room, Qin Zhaoyi asked why it was brought up again now.

Zhou Cairen thought for a moment and said, "This time it was later than usual. When she knew I was coming, she actually came to sit in my room for a while, saying she came to see me. She really knows how to act virtuous."

Qin Liuse pondered for a moment, and then asked, "When you usually come here to spend your days, does she come to care about you?"

Zhou Cairen shook his head and said, "I used to come on time. This time, I saw that I was not on time, so I came here for a walk."
