Chapter 251 A Passionate and Domineering Emperor x The Concubine's Daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion (2 Chapters)
The emperor remained silent, and an awkward silence fell over the hall.
The Empress silently sat down in the chair next to the Emperor, wanting to say more, but looking at the Emperor's cold and indifferent appearance, she didn't know what to say.
"How many concubines do I have?" the emperor asked in a cold voice.
The Empress paused for a moment, then replied, "Your Majesty... there are Consort Zhen, Consort Zhang, Consort Li, and Consort Liu."
There are only five in total, including her.
"Heh..." The emperor sneered, "Quite a lot indeed!"
"Someone, summon them all here."
"Your Majesty...this..." The Empress did not understand what it meant.
Xiao Yuanzi immediately accepted the order and went to carry it out.
Soon, the graceful beauties arrived at the Empress's Palace, and the main hall immediately became lively.
"What are all you capable of?" the emperor asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, I can play the pipa..." Consort Zhen.
"Your Majesty, I can paint..." Consort Zhang.
"This concubine can play the zither..." said Consort Liu.
"Your Majesty, I can...dance," said Consort Li.
"Alright, let's begin," the emperor said coldly.
The concubines were stunned for a moment before they realized that His Majesty wanted them to showcase their talents.
Before long, the Jade Hibiscus Palace became noisy, but Consort Li was still able to dance to the sounds of the pipa and zither.
Consort Zhang's handwriting trembled slightly from the noise.
The Empress coldly observed the chaotic scene and realized that the Emperor had not come to make peace with her.
"That was a good jump."
Upon hearing the emperor's praise, Consort Li jumped even more energetically.
"The painting is quite good too." Consort Zhang was overjoyed and became even more attentive.
"Well played!"
Consort Zhen and Consort Liu were even more confident.
"Your Majesty...why is this happening?" The Empress's face fell.
"The Empress Dowager is upset that I have neglected you all, so I have come to see you. Does the Empress not like this?"
The emperor coldly observed everything in the hall, his emotions completely unmoved.
It is unbearable to hear and see.
The Queen remained silent, sitting there waiting for the farce to end.
Consort Zhang's hands were shaking, Consort Li could no longer dance, and Consort Zhen and Consort Liu's fingertips were almost bleeding.
The emperor finally spoke, saying, "You can stop now."
"Go back."
The emperor had already left as soon as he finished speaking.
The chaotic palace was finally quiet. The Empress could no longer contain her emotions and knocked the teacup off the table.
"Snapped."
Jasmine quickly checked her hands for injuries: "Your Highness, please don't hurt yourself."
"How dare he treat me like this!" The Empress's eyes reddened with anger.
"Your Majesty...you've suffered so much." Jasmine gently stroked her chest with heartache.
The empress closed her eyes in anguish, her chest heaving, unable to calm down for a long time.
The Prime Minister's Residence, Pear Blossom Courtyard
"Yueyue, Yueyue, wake up..." Linglingyi patted Chuyue's cheek with its wings to wake her up.
Chu Yue slowly woke up, still a little confused: "Where am I?"
Wasn't she resting in the Quick Transmigration Department?
"Yueyue, this is a new mission plane..." Linglingyi said nervously.
"Zero zero one!" Chu Yue was so angry that she sat up abruptly, then fell back down.
What's wrong? I feel like I can't catch my breath.
"Yueyue, Yueyue, calm down, listen to me." Linglingyi quickly patted her chest to calm her down: "I... I'm still a little short of leveling up... Yueyue, I'm sorry, I'll have to trouble you again."
"You'd better give me a reason," Chu Yue said, lying on her back on the bed, panting.
"Hehe... there must be a reason." 001 flattered, "I saw that you were doing the mission quite leisurely, so I took the liberty of choosing a plane and sending you here."
Chu Yue stared so intently that even Linglingyi's feathers stood on end.
Linglingyi shivered and quickly said, "In this world, your identity is that of a concubine's daughter in the Prime Minister's mansion, and the Emperor's... white moonlight."
"Didn't I already do the 'White Moonlight' mission? Why are we doing it again?"
"So you can play with it, it's nothing, right?" 001 said again, "It's just that the original owner was a bit weak and was also a concubine's daughter. When you came here, the original owner was barely alive."
"No wonder I feel so unwell, and my heart seems to be aching..."
"The original owner was born to a concubine and was not valued. She was born sickly and weak, and was sent to a temple by the Prime Minister's wife to recuperate at a very young age. On the surface, it was to pray to the Bodhisattva for protection, but in reality, the Prime Minister's wife could not tolerate the original owner and her son. After the original owner was sent away, her concubine could not bear the torment and committed suicide by jumping into a well."
"The original owner prayed day and night in the temple, not asking for a long life, but only hoping to spend more time with her aunt. But she didn't know that her aunt would pass away not long after she left."
"One day, the original owner met the emperor who was traveling incognito. The original owner's pure and gentle appearance moved the young emperor, and the emperor spent a few days with the original owner under the pretext of praying for blessings."
"The tall, handsome young emperor and the delicate and charming original owner were mutually attracted to each other. The emperor wanted to take the original owner back to the palace. After the original owner learned his identity, she hesitated and dared not reveal her own identity, fearing that she was not good enough for him."
"The emperor swore he would treat her well, his feelings were sincere, and the original owner agreed. The emperor asked the original owner to wait for him to return in the temple. All of this was secretly learned by Chu Jingyi, the prime minister's legitimate daughter. She was jealous of the original owner's good luck in winning the emperor's affection. She and the prime minister's wife discussed it and took advantage of the emperor's return to the palace to prepare everything, so they took the original owner back and locked her in the Pear Blossom Courtyard. You are here now."
"The Prime Minister's wife encouraged the Prime Minister to propose that Chu Jingyi enter the palace. After thinking about it for a while, the Prime Minister went to the Empress Dowager and spoke up. The Empress Dowager naturally agreed and agreed on behalf of the Emperor."
"The Emperor and Empress Dowager discussed the original owner's affairs. The Empress Dowager was reluctant to agree, but the Emperor insisted, leaving her with no choice. However, now that Chu Jingyi is involved, she and the Prime Minister's Mansion are secretly planning to deceive the Emperor."
"The Empress Dowager naturally knew about the original owner's situation. She did not approve of the original owner entering the palace, as her status as a concubine's daughter was not qualified. Fortunately, the Emperor did not know the reason behind this, so the Empress Dowager kept it a secret and told the Emperor that the original owner had been brought back."
"On the day of the wedding, the emperor thought he was marrying the original owner of the body, because the Empress Dowager said that she had taken care of everything for him and all he had to do was have a good wedding. But when the emperor lifted the veil, he was struck by lightning. Looking at the strange woman in front of him, the emperor understood immediately. He angrily threw down a sentence and left the Phoenix Palace. He never stepped into the inner palace again."
"The Empress Dowager thought the Emperor didn't like Chu Jingyi, so she arranged for him to take in several more concubines, hoping to make him forget the original owner of the body. But the Emperor remained unmoved. He kept looking for the original owner. At that time, he was so infatuated with her that he didn't force her to reveal her identity, which is why he can't find her now. The Emperor is almost on the verge of madness."
"Then how am I supposed to see him if I'm locked up here?" Chu Yue asked lazily.
"With me here, you'll definitely see him."
"Hmph..." Chu Yue gave a resentful snort and ignored it.
"The emperor will be leaving the palace again in a few days to revisit his old haunts. This is an opportunity, Yueyue."
“He’ll go crazy if he can’t find you,” 001 said, laying out props for her to choose from.
Chu Yue glanced at them briefly and said coolly, "I'll take them all... no points can be deducted."
"Yueyue, you... alright." Linglingyi gave in.
"You little brat... I can't handle you." Chu Yue felt dizzy as soon as she sat up; her body was really weak.
"The original owner's delicate appearance captivated the emperor so much that he didn't dare to speak loudly," Linglingyi joked.
"Men are all like that... Alright, I'll rest for a bit and get ready to do my mission."
“Received…” 001 lay down beside her.
