The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 123 I’m sorry

Qingzhu was so complacent that he forgot one thing.

Those concubines of lower rank still flattered her because of Emperor Yongjia's consideration.

Among the people favored by Emperor Yongjia, Qin Liuse is the one who ranks first.

So whether Qin Liuse wants to deal with her is just a matter of mood.

Qingzhu raised her eyes and looked at Qin Liuse with some grievance. This was in Chengqian Palace, which was different from the last time in Concubine Xin Shu's palace. She was absolutely unwilling to kneel in front of others.

But she was just arrogant, not stupid.

If she dared to disobey at this time, it would further confirm the charges Qin Liuse had against her.

Qingzhu bit her lip and walked silently to the outside of the palace gate under Qin Liuse's gaze. With a stern face, she knelt down in full view of everyone.

Qin Liuse showed no surprise or joy on his face. He led Qingqing out and suddenly stopped in front of Qingzhu outside.

Then he turned around and called another familiar maid who was serving in Chengqian Palace, and said with a smile, "Help Miss Qingzhu calculate the time, half an hour, don't kneel for too long or it will be my fault."

The little maid quickly obeyed the order.

But Qin Liuse's words made Qingzhu so angry that she almost died. It seemed as if she really cared about her and was obviously afraid that she would not kneel for enough time.

Qin Liuse naturally wouldn't watch here in person. After giving the instructions, he took Qingqing back to Shu Yuexuan.

The little maid calculated the time in her mind and figured that the sedan chair carrying Qin Zhaoyi should have been far away from Chengqian Palace. She hurried to Qingzhu and said something flattering.

"Sister Qingzhu, please get up quickly. Zhaoyi should be halfway there by now. All the people in this palace are our own."

The little maid didn't want to offend either party, but also wanted to please Qingzhu. Otherwise, asking her to be a little maid and guarding the most senior maid in Chengqian Palace to be punished would really be putting her in shackles on fire.

Qingzhu glanced at her, not appreciating her kindness at all, "You think I haven't been punished enough, and you want me to be punished more severely so that you can get promoted, right?"

That wasn't what the maid meant. She just wanted to do a favor.

"Sister Qingzhu, that's not what I meant. I..."

Qing Zhu's eyes were filled with impatience, "Stop talking, get out!"

The little maid then stepped aside angrily.

Qin Liuse returned to Shuyuexuan and ate some warm bird's nest and lotus seed porridge that Aunt Mingyue had prepared for her a long time ago. However, she didn't eat much because she was still sleepy and wanted to sleep.

He ate only a small bowl of food and put it down. After washing up, he went to bed and fell asleep.

As the same people who had worked together last night, Emperor Yongjia was still able to get up early in the morning with vigor and vitality to attend court and handle state affairs.

And she just wanted to sleep until dawn.

Qin Liuse lay comfortably on her bed, thinking that now that there was no queen in the harem, she had some free time.

Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep for long and will have to get up and pay my respects.

Qin Liuse slept until noon. When he opened his eyes again, he felt that he had only regained about 70% of his soul.

But her body was still sore and uncomfortable due to Emperor Yongjia's lack of restraint.

Thinking of what Emperor Yongjia said last night about her being "useless", Qin Liuse couldn't help but kick the quilt in anger.

He thought everyone was like him, with a body of iron!

Qin Liuse really wished that he would favor a few more new people. Being a favored concubine is a job that requires both brainpower and physical effort.

Qingqing heard the noise in the bed curtains and came over to help Qin Liuse get up.

Qin Liuse was not so particular in her own palace. She only wore a bellyband and walked to the window and pushed it open completely. The sun was shining brightly today, so it must be a very good day.

After lunch, she went to Concubine Li's palace to discuss the little prince's full moon banquet.

Back in Chengqian Palace, Emperor Yongjia finished dealing with state affairs and returned to his palace for lunch.

After the maids served the dishes, Emperor Yongjia waved his hand and told them to prepare water for bathing.

In summer, he would bathe twice, during the day and at night.

Emperor Yongjia eats quickly, so now is the perfect time for the maid to prepare water.

However, when Qingzhu walked out, Emperor Yongjia stared at her back and looked at her a few more times.

After they left, Emperor Yongjia called Zhu Wanxi forward and asked, "What's up this morning?"

Zhu Wanxi has been with Emperor Yongjia for so many years that he can understand him even if he can't read his mind.

The most important thing for a servant, especially a servant of his type, is that no matter how blind or deaf you are, you must keep your eyes on your master. Only in this way can you serve him at all times.

Just now, Emperor Yongjia had been staring at Qingzhu's back, and the way Qingzhu walked was obviously not right. Even he could see it, let alone Emperor Yongjia.

Zhu Wanxi was the biggest servant in the harem, and a bunch of people opened their mouths to tell him the news.

And he was the most loyal servant of Emperor Yongjia, so he would naturally report all the news given to him by others to Emperor Yongjia.

Zhu Wanxi took two steps forward and leaned close to Emperor Yongjia's ear and said, "Your Majesty, I heard from the eunuch in the palace that Miss Qingzhu upset Zhaoyi again this morning, and Zhaoyi punished her by making her kneel for half an hour."

There was also Qingzhu going to call Qin Liuse to get up, and he told her everything.

Finally, Zhu Wanxi added, "Just like last time in Xin Shufei's palace, Zhaoyi is very kind."

How could Emperor Yongjia not hear the bias in Zhu Wanxi's mouth? So after hearing the last part, he pulled the corner of his lips, glanced at Zhu Wanxi, and said, "You, a servant, are really good at being a human being."

Although Emperor Yongjia spoke expressionlessly, Zhu Wanxi could sense that Emperor Yongjia was not unhappy with his words in helping Qin Zhaoyi.

He just laughed twice, then stepped aside and continued to be mute.

After lunch, Emperor Yongjia drank a cup of tea and went to the bathroom.

Qingzhu took off his clothes and walked past him holding the clothes. Her walking posture was still not right.

Emperor Yongjia walked in with his bare chest, and asked casually, "But you are injured, why can't you walk well?"

Qingzhu just wanted him to see it.

But when Emperor Yongjia asked, she pretended nothing happened and said obediently, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine, but my legs are a little sore."

He didn't talk about how the injury came about, nor did he complain. He just swallowed the pain himself.

Qingzhu was thinking that if Emperor Yongjia wanted to know, he would naturally inquire about it himself, and she would surely win his sympathy by pretending to be an injured young wife.

Emperor Yongjia raised his eyebrows and did not ask any more questions.

He just asked casually, wanting to hear what Qingzhu had to say, but since she didn't want to say it, he naturally wouldn't ask any further questions.

It's just that the master punished the servant. Does he have to apologize on behalf of Qin Liuse?
