Chapter 106: The Concubines Exchanged in the King’s Seizure of His Minister’s Wife (1)
The moonlight was like water, and the palace was brightly lit.
In Chengqian Palace, messy clothes, shoes and socks of men and women were scattered all over the floor, and the moans and heavy breathing of men and women on the dragon bed continued to sound one after another.
Upon hearing this, the palace maids who were guarding outside Chengqian Palace all blushed.
Under the light, the woman's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were watery, and she looked at the young and handsome emperor in front of her with an unstable breath.
She panted slightly and began to push away with a little force, "Your Majesty..."
Ye Chen frowned slightly, his face showing displeasure, "You don't want to? Or are you still thinking about your husband in your heart?"
Ruan Qingqing pouted her red lips, leaned on Ye Chen's chest, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, don't you know how much Qingqing loves you? I just feel that I am ultimately ashamed of him now."
She and Qi Lin grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and she liked him in her heart.
After only a few years of marriage, the passion they once had for each other had long been extinguished by life.
A banquet allowed her to meet the emperor, and her heart, which had long been as calm as water, began to beat again.
This was nothing at first, but the emperor also had feelings for her and wanted to keep her by his side. As a result, the current situation came about.
Ye Chen held the woman's soft body in his arms and said nonchalantly, "The whole world belongs to the king, and the same applies to humans."
"But Qi Lin is my subject after all. Since I asked him to take you, I will naturally not treat him unfairly."
"Recently, a new batch of beautiful girls have entered the harem. They are all virgins. I have already sent the most qualified ones to the Qi Mansion."
"In this case, can you rest assured, Qingqing?"
Seeing that Ye Chen was willing to give away even his concubines for her, Ruan Qingqing felt an indescribable sweetness in her heart.
She put her arms around Ye Chen's neck, her expression touched. "Your Majesty, you are so kind to Qingqing. Will you always be so kind to Qingqing in the future?"
"That depends on your performance..."
As he spoke, Ye Chen repeatedly stroked Ruan Qingqing's snow-white skin with his hands, his hot breath sprayed on Ruan Qingqing's chest, and his words and actions were very ambiguous.
So, the night activities in Chengqian Hall began again.
Sui Ning, who was sent to Qi Mansion by the palace overnight, was about to turn off the lights and go to bed.
"Miss, Lord Qi hasn't come back yet. Won't you wait a little longer?" asked Qiu Shuang, the original owner's personal maid.
Sui Ning sneered in his heart.
return?
Even if Qi Lin came back, he wouldn't come here.
After the wife-swapping incident, the original owner also thought about having a good talk with Qi Lin when he first came to the Qi Mansion.
But in the end, Qi Lin never set foot in the backyard and didn't even give her a chance to meet him.
"It's okay, go to sleep."
After a while, the lights in Sui Ning's room went out, but the atmosphere in the entire Qi Mansion was very strange.
The emperor openly swapped wives, and although he never announced it to the world, everyone knew it. From the moment Sui Ning was sent to the Qi Mansion, all the servants in the Qi Mansion knew that their mistress had been replaced.
When Qi Lin returned home from court, his face was ashen.
He never imagined that the emperor could do such a thing as taking his minister's wife, which disregarded the law of propriety!
His personal guard pondered for a moment before stepping forward to ask, "Sir, how should we accommodate that person?"
Although it was an exchange, wasn't it also another form of humiliation from the emperor?
However, that person was bestowed by the emperor himself after all, so his status is indeed a problem.
When Sui Ning was mentioned, Qi Lin's expression became even uglier. He clenched his fists and remained silent for a moment.
"Go tell Grandmother that she will be the mistress of the family from now on, but she doesn't have to be in charge of the household expenses. My Qi Mansion can still afford to support one person."
The guard understood.
This gave Sui Ning some recognition in terms of status, but nothing more.
The next day, Sui Ning got up with Qiu Shuang's help.
After breakfast, Sui Ning asked Qiu Shuang to set up a soft couch in the yard and bask in the sun with Liu Liu.
Liuliu, transformed into a cat again, lay down beside Sui Ning and said happily, "Ning Ning, the points for the mission in the previous small world have arrived!"
"In addition to completing the corresponding tasks, because you have promoted the awakening of female consciousness in the small world, the Heavenly Dao has rewarded us with an additional 1000 merit points!"
Not only has his wife Ben come back, but with the merit points in his account now, if he works hard to save them, he might be able to get a loan to buy a system wedding house!
Looking at the merit value of 2385 in his account, Sui Ning nodded with satisfaction.
Although the last small world was a bit tiring, the reward was still quite generous.
"Ningning, when are you going to find Qi Lin?" Liuliu looked at Sui Ning with golden eyes.
no way.
Seeing the merit value in the account increasing little by little, it feels full of motivation.
Sui Ning smiled and said, "It's still early, wait a little longer."
Qi Lin must be very angry about the wife swapping incident.
If she went there now, he would definitely not see her, and she might even be used as a punching bag, which would not be worth it.
And this time the world mission is very simple.
The original owner had no freedom in her life. At first, she was forced to enter the palace as a concubine, and later she was forced to be replaced as a minister's wife.
She thought about fighting against fate and negotiating a divorce with Qi Lin, but in the end she died tragically in the backyard without even seeing Qi Lin.
Therefore, she only hopes to divorce Qi Lin smoothly, take good care of the maid Qiu Shuang, and find someone who truly loves her to accompany her, so that she can live a stable and happy life.
The fact was just as Sui Ning expected. A few days later, she asked someone to find Qi Lin to negotiate a meeting.
But the other party is either busy or has no time, in short, he just won’t show up.
His personal guard also asked Qiu Shuang to convey some "advice" from Sui Ning.
Probably, as long as she stays in the harem, she will be the master's wife in public, but he also hopes that she can recognize her own identity and not covet things that she shouldn't covet.
Sui Ning was so angry that she laughed on the spot.
Originally, she wanted to have a good talk, but it was obvious that Qi Lin didn't even want to sit at the table.
In that case, don't blame her for going crazy.
Six days have passed since Sui Ning arrived at the Qi Mansion.
But the dishes Qiu Shuang brought from the kitchen were getting worse day by day. The food she brought this morning was cold.
Sui Ning asked Qiu Shuang to leave it alone and not eat it.
Who would have thought that the food served for dinner would be rotten!
Qiu Shuang was immediately angered and burst into tears, "Miss, they are really going too far!"
"I just went to the kitchen to get food. There was clearly hot food ready there, but those cooks were lying with their eyes open..."
The servants in the mansion like to serve people according to their status.
These days, seeing Qi Lin's indifferent attitude towards Sui Ning, they began to feel presumptuous.
This was also what the original owner had experienced before. The original owner was gentle and did not resist, but the people below began to become more aggressive.
A housekeeper in the mansion had long coveted the original owner's beauty and wanted to do something bad to her at night.
The original owner had a strong personality and refused to be humiliated, so he committed suicide in the end!
Sui Ning noticed the red slap mark on Qiu Shuang's face, frowned slightly, and his voice became cold.
"Who hit me?"
"Miss, it's okay. I just had a small dispute with the cooks in the kitchen..." Qiu Shuang covered her face and sobbed, as if she didn't want to cause trouble for Sui Ning.
The original owner had no control over her life, and no one except Qiu Shuang truly cared about her.
This little girl is also a protector of her master. When the original owner was bullied in the backyard, most of the time she stood up and blocked it for the original owner.
It’s just that Qiu Shuang has the same temperament as the original owner, both are too weak.
Sui Ning didn't say anything, but just took out the ointment from the medicine box and applied it to Qiu Shuang.
Then she asked Qiu Shuang to bring the rotten rice, and took Liu Liu towards the kitchen in a threatening manner.
