Chapter 133 Yellow-haired girl
"Why do you do that?" Liu Qiuniang was obviously not convinced by Qin Liuse's words.
Qin Liuse was so speechless that he almost laughed. He said to her calmly, "Just because you talk to me like that, I can punish you!"
It is really the fate of a fifth-rank talent and the disease of a first-rank concubine.
The trivial matters of competing for favor among the concubines in the harem that Qin Liuse had to deal with during this period of time only made him feel that there were very few women in the harem who were truly smart.
Don’t you see which one of the four concubines is brainless? Although the four concubines have their own personalities, when it comes to being a human being, these young people can’t catch up with them even if they flatter them.
When people have nothing, they should just keep a low profile.
It is such a simple truth, but so many people don’t understand it and always reveal various flaws.
But it’s better this way. Now that her true nature is exposed, there is a lot of excitement in the harem.
Besides, it's just a fight for favor, which is not a big deal. This kind of thing is easy to happen when there are women around.
Thinking back to my hometown in Yangzhou, my father’s concubines and maids were fighting with each other all day long.
This was the case in ordinary people's homes, let alone the emperor's harem.
"Don't think that you can do anything just because your father is from the Dali Temple. My father is not a pushover either!" Liu Qiuniang said angrily.
Her father did hold a high official position, but now that she had entered the palace, Qin Liuse thought it was not a wise move to compare her with her mother's family under the circumstances.
She taunted, "I don't care who your father is or who my father is. Now that you have entered the palace, become a concubine, and become the emperor's woman, you should respect your husband."
Qin Liuse said gently, "I am only doing things for the emperor and our husband. If you have any objections, just go and talk to the emperor."
Although she was in the palace and valued the support of her mother's family, she did it behind the scenes.
On the surface, everyone is treated equally. First come first served and status determine whether you are an older sister or a younger sister.
As a younger sister, I naturally have to act like a younger sister.
Qin Liuse also wanted to be an understanding and kind sister, but if she was too understanding when facing these unreasonable juniors, these young people would really jump up and show off.
To put it nicely, you are arrogant and cute, like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, but that requires someone to protect and pamper you, for you to be so arrogant.
If not, it's just willful and uneducated.
On the surface, they are all noble ladies raised by prestigious families. Who is more noble than who?
After all, a girl's pride should be viewed according to the occasion. Otherwise, the so-called pride is a manifestation of lack of cultivation and selfishness, and not everyone is obligated to indulge you.
However, Liu Qiuniang was obviously very angry at the moment. Qin Liuse wanted to confine her for seven days, which meant that she could not sleep with him for seven days.
Who knows if the emperor will be seduced by another little goblin after seven days.
So for a moment, Liu Qiuniang was so angry that she wanted to rush forward and tear Qin Liuse's clothes off.
"You... I don't accept it. You are not Concubine Li Xian, but an assistant. How dare you!"
Seeing that Liu Qiuniang's words were getting more and more outrageous, Wang Leyao, who had been watching the show secretly from the side, had to come out and pull Liu Qiuniang back.
"Sister Liu, Sister Liu, it's only seven days, it will pass quickly, drink some tea first and calm down." Wang Leyao pulled Liu Qiuniang and whispered in her ear to comfort her, "We are the younger ones, we have to respect Qin Zhaoyi."
Although Qin Liuse couldn't hear the latter words clearly, after hearing Wang Leyao's previous words, he just wanted to sneer.
They are really a pair of good sisters. Wang Leyao is also a very scheming person.
If they were really good sisters, they should have come out to stop them long ago, but they waited until Liu Qiuniang had spoken out of complete disaster before coming out to pretend to be a good person.
But who would have thought that Wang Leyao's subsequent words would not only fail to calm Liu Qiuniang, but would instead anger her.
Liu Qiuniang puffed up her cheeks, let go of Wang Leyao's hand, and walked out angrily, muttering that she would go to Emperor Yongjia to make the decision.
Qin Liuse was speechless. She really thought she was the apple of Emperor Yongjia's eye and even dared to go to him for help.
Could it be that Emperor Yongjia made some promise to her in bed at night?
Or was it because Emperor Yongjia favored her a few more times that she really thought she was the only one in his heart?
For a moment, Qin Liuse had no choice but to follow Liu Qiuniang and move to Chengqian Palace.
It is almost noon now, and Emperor Yongjia should be having lunch in Chengqian Palace.
Sure enough, when they rushed to Chengqian Palace, Liu Qiuniang was already kneeling at the foot of Emperor Yongjia, crying bitterly.
Emperor Yongjia was having lunch and obviously did not expect so many people to come at this time. He looked towards the door and raised his eyes when he saw Qin Liuse.
Qin Liuse really couldn't understand what his look meant, so he just walked in and saluted Emperor Yongjia. Wang Leyao followed behind and also saluted Emperor Yongjia respectfully.
After Emperor Yongjia started shouting, only Liu Qiuniang was left kneeling on the ground begging Emperor Yongjia to make the decision.
"Your Majesty, I admit my fault and know my crime, but seven days is too long. I will miss you if I cannot see you for such a long time."
The corners of Qin Liuse's mouth froze. This was a unique way of saying a plea while flirting with it.
And why does it sound as if Emperor Yongjia summons her every day and cannot live without her?
In total, during this period, Emperor Yongjia summoned Liu Qiuniang no more than twice every seven days.
It was indeed a high frequency in the harem, but in front of Emperor Yongjia, it was really nothing unusual.
But, that's how lovers are, a day without seeing each other feels like three years. What Liu Qiuniang said is consistent with her meaning that she couldn't leave Emperor Yongjia.
Someone had filed a complaint and everyone was present, so Emperor Yongjia naturally could not sit idly by.
He asked everyone present to say it once. After Qin Liuse finished speaking, Wang Leyao also said it once.
But Emperor Yongjia seemed to want to listen to more than just their opinions. He picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and seemed not to notice that no one was talking. When he was silent, the other people in the room didn't dare to make a sound, for they were all afraid that the emperor would suddenly blame them, which would not be a good thing.
After enjoying the meat that Qin Liuse thought was unpalatable, Emperor Yongjia said calmly, "You, tell me what happened just now."
Emperor Yongjia was looking at a few servants.
The first person to speak was Liu Qiuniang's maid. Her voice was trembling. She did not dare to offend her master, let alone deceive the emperor, so her face turned pale as she spoke.
"Talented Lady Liu was not feeling well today, so she asked for leave and did not go to deliver the birthday gift to Concubine Xiao De. When Concubine Qin passed by and saw that the talented lady was not lying in bed and did not look unwell, she thought that the talented lady was lying, so, so..."
Even Liu Qiuniang's servants didn't really want to offend Qin Liuse, but after weighing the pros and cons, they could only say this.
Qingqing got angry when she heard this, "What do you mean by seeing that the talented person is not lying in bed? It is obviously your talented person who is dancing in the yard. How can she be unwell?"
Qingqing said angrily, "She clearly said this in the morning that she couldn't stand serving the emperor and couldn't get up. If she couldn't get up, how could she dance? She didn't look uncomfortable at all."
"And to report to the emperor, our Zhaoyi only said a few words to the talented person, but the talented person kept talking back to us, not taking us seriously at all. She also said that our Zhaoyi had no right to deal with her, and she also said that our Zhaoyi was also unable to get out of bed..."
Having said that, Qingqing was after all a young girl with a thin skin. She was afraid of the aura of Emperor Yongjia, but it was difficult for her to say it out loud, so she was too embarrassed to continue.
