Chapter 203: Concubine Xian deliberately set a trap
Isn’t this the second young lady of the Yu family?
What title was bestowed upon her? The emperor thought for a moment and managed to recall that it seemed to be... a concubine?
"Selectwoman Yu, what are you doing here?"
"Your Majesty still remembers me..."
Yu Sujin blushed and lowered her head shyly.
This was the Emperor's bedroom... She felt shy and excited. It was spacious, luxurious, majestic and magnificent, a place she had never been to before.
The emperor, reclining on his dragon bed, remained as handsome as ever, though a bit more languid than usual. Perhaps because he was ill, the imperial majesty no longer intimidated anyone, but instead served as a fringe accent to his elegant demeanor, making the young man even more blushing and heart-pounding.
When I thought about what might happen, thinking about myself lying on this dragon bed inlaid with gold and jade, with the most noble and handsome man in the world...
What happened.
Even her breath became hot.
"Your Majesty, I am here to visit the virtuous concubine. It just so happens that the virtuous concubine was thinking of you and wanted to send you something. I have nothing else to do, so I am here to deliver it on your behalf. Please review the virtuous concubine's gift."
Yu Sujin didn't wait to be called, and approached the dragon bed with the brocade box in her hand.
She curled her fingers into the shape of an orchid and gently opened the brocade box.
Inside the box lay an exquisite jade Ruyi.
The jade ruyi is a lucky item for pillows.
Yu Sujin's eyes were as bright as silk, and she gently hooked her eyes around the man in front of her, "Your Majesty, the Queen asked me to come... to help you with your pillow. May Your Majesty have a good night's sleep."
Cao Bin, who was standing at the door, quietly retreated with a few palace servants on duty.
He also carefully closed the inner hall door.
When he got outside, he frowned and thought to himself, what the hell is going on?
Changle Palace always sent people to deliver things to the emperor, but he didn't pay attention to it just now. The palace maid looked unfamiliar yet familiar. He couldn't recognize her for a moment but didn't think about it too much.
Who would have thought that it was Consort Yu who had just entered the palace!
This……
Your Majesty is still ill, and it is obvious that he became ill because he spent too much time with Concubine Zhao... cough... that night. It is the time when he needs to replenish his yang energy. Concubine Yu is too hasty to offer herself to him!
It would be fine if she acted on her own, Cao Bin could still stop her, but she was sent by Concubine Xian, so it was difficult to stop her.
If I block it, I will offend the virtuous concubine. If I don't block it, His Majesty's health...
Well! In the end he decided to let His Majesty decide for himself.
Your Majesty is young anyway, and any loss can be replenished.
Cao Bin waited outside the hall with mixed feelings.
He didn't know that inside the palace, the emperor was not attracted by Yu Sujin as he imagined.
Xiao Yu stared at Yu Sujin, his drowsiness dissipated a little, and his anger rose again.
He asked in a deep voice, "Were you sent by the virtuous concubine?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yu Sujin felt that the emperor's expression seemed not right, and for some reason, she continued to speak softly.
In just a few words, she answered in a roundabout way, like the chirping of an oriole.
"Did Concubine Xian deliberately let you wear the clothes of a palace maid?"
"Uh……"
Yu Sujin paused, "I was drinking tea in Changle Palace and accidentally knocked over the tea bowl, which got my skirt wet, so I changed..."
"Can't you exchange it with Concubine Xian's clothes? Why are you wearing a maid's clothes? Why is Concubine Xian treating you so harshly?"
"No, Your Majesty..." Yu Sujin's heart was beating like a drum. She was embarrassed just now, but now she was afraid, because the emperor's tone was getting worse and worse.
She didn't understand the reason, so she could only be as cautious as possible and show her understanding in her words. The concubine in the family was favored because she was particularly sensible and knew when to advance and retreat.
"Your Majesty, the virtuous concubine treats me very well, but her clothes are expensive, and I dare not overstep my bounds, so I temporarily wear the clothes of a palace maid."
"My clothes are wet, so I need to change them. But my hairpins and hairpins are also wet, so I need to comb my hair again and change my jewelry."
"Your Majesty, I, your concubine..."
The emperor's repeated questions made Yu Sujin's face turn pale.
"You clearly deliberately disguised yourself as a palace maid to seduce me!"
Xiao Yu was too lazy to listen to her explanation and made a final decision.
Yu Sujin fell to her knees, so nervous that she almost dropped the Ruyi in her hand.
"Your Majesty, I dare not! I just changed into a palace maid's clothes. I was afraid that people would recognize me on the street and laugh at me. So I changed my hairpins and rings. I will change back into my own clothes when I return later..."
She hurriedly found an excuse.
I just feel confused.
Didn't the Consort Xian say that His Majesty liked the attire of the palace maids selected by Concubine Zhao Guiying and had a special preference for plain and elegant clothing, so she asked her to dress up as a palace maid at night to give His Majesty a surprise...
Why does Your Majesty care about her disguise?
Why doesn't Your Majesty appreciate her intentions, her beauty, and her diligence?
When she accidentally fell on His Majesty while closing the window, it was clear... that he was moved.
in fact.
How could she know that the emperor had indulged himself all night in Chunxi Palace the night before, and was now sick and weak, so he really couldn't get excited.
Moreover, he was holding Fei Wan's flower note with contentment, reliving the pure state of mind of his youth, and he felt annoyed when he saw the disguised calculations.
not to mention……
He had just heard about the bad things the Yu family had done to Fei Wan, and at this time, he had no good feelings towards the Yu family.
What's more, she was sent by Concubine Xian!
The person from the Yu family was not recommended by Fei Wan herself, but was deliberately sent by Concubine Xian. He suspected that Concubine Xian was using her to target Fei Wan.
She had to dress up as a palace maid, did she have to imitate Fei Wan's original appearance?
Want to replace and overshadow Fei Wan?
My Zhaoqing is beautiful and kind, no one can surpass her!
Xiao Yu looked coldly at Yu Sujin's frightened and delicate appearance, without any pity at all. Instead, he felt that her fragility was too artificial.
In comparison, Zhaoqing is truly weak.
"I remember that it was Concubine Zhao Gui who asked for you to enter the palace."
There was a hint of anger in Xiao Yu's indifferent tone.
As a concubine's daughter, Yu Sujin was used to observing people's words and expressions when she was at home. How could she not know that the emperor disliked her?
She quickly imitated her aunt's usual tricks, raised her head with tears in her eyes, and stared at the emperor infatuatedly.
She said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, I was... misled by a series of circumstances. Although I had no choice, now that I think about it, I am happy with it. If I hadn't slipped and fallen into Your Majesty's arms, how could I have had the opportunity to serve you? You are the emperor, with a noble character..."
"Shut up."
Xiao Yu interrupted.
Because of being angry, my head felt dizzy again and I had even less patience.
I don't have the patience to listen to these flattering words.
"You're so happy with it, but how could you not appreciate the kindness of Concubine Zhao? When she was ill, you didn't go to tend to her. Instead, you flattered others and used your seductive tactics to plot against me! It's not enough that the Yu family has produced a vicious Yu Tingjin, and now they've produced a pretentious thing like you. When you fell into my arms, I'm afraid you were just pretending!"
Cao Bin vaguely heard the emperor's angry voice outside and hurried to the inner hall door, "Your Majesty..."
"Take Consort Yu out!"
Cao Bin hurried into the house to do his job, "Young Master, please come in."
Yu Sujin left the hall in a daze.
The moment I stepped out of the door, something suddenly clicked in my mind.
Everything is understood.
Virtuous Concubine!
It was Concubine Xian who deliberately set a trap to deceive her and cut off her future!
