Chapter 67 - Serving

Qin Luofei hadn't slept before, so naturally she didn't need to greet the empress.

After Du Qingcheng entered the palace, he found it difficult to look forward to it himself and was not in the mood to summon Qin Luofei.

To think that Qin Luofei had never seen the new Empress, the feelings of the Cool Hall s towards her were complicated.

"Alright, I want to meet you."

Since this concubine Ning was serving the night, Qin Luofei could not disturb her and went to the empress's palace with Luo Ziyan.

Daffodil Dayflower was overjoyed. Miss would be cooped up in the palace all day, afraid that she would fall sick. If Miss was willing to go with Honorable Master Luo to the empress dowager's palace, then Miss would have a chance to shine if she happened to run into the emperor.

Although they had their own selfish motives, they would only be able to live peacefully in the palace as servants once Miss had a chance to rise.

Without the love of the Emperor, the imperial harem wouldn't even know how they died.

He couldn't go to the empress dowager's palace with clothes that were too casual. Daihua carefully helped Qin Luofei to comb her hair into a thin, low spiral. At the same time, she also gave out a tassel like butterfly as she played with the water hairpin.

Right now, Queen Du didn't like the concubines of the harem being too ostentatious. Thus, when the harem concubines visited the empress, they mostly chose light colored clothes and low-hanging hair.

The young miss had just entered the palace, and the palace clothes had not yet been taken off. Fortunately, they had made some good dresses before entering the palace, so they could still be of some use.

"Miss, what color are you wearing?"

Qin Luofei pursed her lips and said, "I can just wear the silk dress with the lotus root silk."

"Miss, is the color too gorgeous?" Daihua took out the silk dress made of pink and red silk from the wardrobe and hesitated.

Qin Luofei looked at her reflection in the small round ivory mirror, and used an onyx comb to comb her slightly messy sideburns. She lightly said, "It's alright, the palace loves beautiful colors, so I'm sure the empress won't blame you. Just put on a thin green robe that's as thin as a cicada's wing. "

Daffodil Dayflower nodded and thought to herself, It's still Miss's way of thinking.

Dai Hua and Zi Yuan helped Qin Luofei to dress neatly. The sleeves and collar of the shirt had a simple yet elegant design. The rest were elegant and light muslin dresses that added a refined air to the clothes.

Qin Luofei didn't like Taisu's clothes from the start, so this was exactly what she wanted.

"Miss, you're so beautiful." Daffodil Daydream looked at the young lady in front of her. Skin like cream, breath like orchid, black pearl look around, look back at flowers, a good picture of a beauty.

"You talk too much." Qin Luofei said angrily.

"My sister is so beautiful. I'm so enthralled by her beauty." Luo Ziyan replied on the side.

"Big sister, you like to make fun of your little sister."

Qin Luofei held onto Luo Ziyan's hand, smiled slightly, and said: "Elder sister, let's go! I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be late. "

"Of course." Qin Luofei and Luo Ziyan each led their own personal palace maids out of the house.

After Queen Du entered the palace, the emperor rarely stopped by her palace during the day. Fortunately, the empress dowager doted heavily on her, her mother's niece, and no concubine dared to bully her, except to find fault with the Imperial Consort Leng from time to time.

Her brother, General Du Jing, had already taken over half of Prince Jing's troops to the south. The Du Family was without exception like the Leng Family in the past.

The empress's palace, which was at the back of the emperor's palace for daily affairs, occupied the best position in the entire imperial city, forming a diagonal with the Imperial Consort Leng's palace.

Although the courtyard was not big, the scenery was extremely beautiful. Ancient trees extended into the sky, rare flowers and plants filled the air. Living here could be considered a form of cultivation.

The empress's courtyard was a two-way house, with two rooms at the side and three palaces at the front. The place was a warm pavilion, and in the middle was a small stage where people could amuse themselves with their wives if they had nothing to do.

Qin Luofei and Luo Ziyan chatted confidently along the way, and were not lonely at all.

When they entered the Cool Hall that the empress lived in, they saw that the hall was wide and winding. On the cliff, there was an auspicious little beast sitting in the air.

Qin Luofei was naturally familiar with it. In her previous life, she had stayed in the harem for three years and this was the Cool Hall.

Qin Luofei's breathing slightly halted, her fingers involuntarily trembling.

"What a coincidence."

The sound of voices came from the back. Concubine Qin walked over with two palace maids. After entering the palace, she did not bring any maids with her. She only promoted the two maids in the palace to be her personal bodyguards.

"Greetings to Concubine Qin." Their position was lower than Qin Luoyu's, so according to the rules of the palace, they had to pay respects.

"Rise." Qin Luoyu was even more gorgeous than when he was in the pavilion.

His hair was tied up into a high bun, tied in an angle with a silk pearl gold phoenix hairpin, and beside it was a five colored jadeite step shake. In the back of his head was a silver gilt inlaid jewel, hanging down a few tassels, no earrings. Only a green jade Buddha necklace.

Dressed in an embroidered dress of dark gold and embroidered with dark lines, the train was pressed with twigs and patterns, and the cuffs were adorned with complicated patterns. Light colored ancient satin ribbons were wrapped in silver threads, forming a large pattern that snaked out of the ground like light clouds.

Qin Luoyu looked at his sister from high above. So what if he seduced the Emperor? Wasn't he still abandoned by the Emperor? Now, he shouldn't prostrate at his feet.

Luo Ziyan looked down on Qin Luoyu's imposing manner, but in the palace, his position was too oppressive, he could only endure it.

"Concubine Qin, little sister thinks that the empress must be getting impatient, why don't we go in!" Qin Luofei spoke out.

One of the empress's maidservants, Jin Lan, lifted the flowery curtains. "Honored guests, please enter." The three of them entered the house.

The queen lived in the main hall, which was also a warm house. In the middle room, there were imperial concubines on both sides, with golden cushions on top of them. Even the cushions of the bed were golden, which was a privilege only the queen could have.

Close to the north, between the two beds, was a golden Luan. On top of it were thin pieces of gold carved with two phoenixes with their tails connected to each other.

Queen Du sat on top of it calmly, her beautiful hands holding onto the white Ru porcelain teacup as she sipped on her tea.

"Greetings to the empress."

When the three of them felt their legs go numb, the empress looked as if she had suddenly seen them and said with a smile, "You three little sisters should rise!"

The empress was dressed in her usual jade-green phoenix robe, with a jade-green silk cloth around her waist. She was naturally elegant, and now she was even more imposing than before.

Although Qin Luofei was very close to the empress during the talent competition, she was already the empress of this world. Qin Luofei understood this, and seeing the empress's unfriendly face, it was even more inappropriate for her to speak up.

Consort Mo and Xiao Fei sat on both sides of the empress and their eyes swept across Concubine Qin.

"Little Sister, you worked hard to serve the Emperor yesterday." The Queen put down the pink colored Hundred Blossom Tea Cup in her hands, and looked at Qin Luoyu with a smile.

Although Qin Luoyu was not a thin-skinned person, his face was still slightly flushed. To be able to pass through the Queen's mouth in front of so many people, he was embarrassed to death.

When she said it, Qin Luoyu felt that his entire body had turned into a hornet's nest. With all kinds of eyes looking at her, it was hard for him to even breathe.

The women of the harem all stared eagerly at the emperor. Anyone who slept for an extra night would have one less night. This was the greatest matter for harem women.

Qin Luofei sighed lightly. It seemed like her good elder sister's life in the palace wasn't going to be good either.

"Empress Sis, look at how you've made that beauty's face redden from talking about her. I really pity you even if I saw you."

Some of the imperial concubines nearby began to laugh.

and only she would dare to be presumptuous in front of the empress, Imperial Consort Leng's right-hand man.

Xiao Fei has also entered the palace this year, and has never been able to be pampered by Emperor Ming.

Her appearance was petite and exquisite, and her face was a bit bright. However, she was still lacking a bit in this harem.

Could it be that the Imperial Consort Leng was out of favour, as she had already pledged her allegiance to the new Queen? Qin Luofei lowered her head without a word. Since she was already here, she might as well settle it. She was only a spectator.

"Sisters, thank you for your hard work. "Our emperor is very considerate in everything, and the imperial concubines can all split the spoils evenly. This can also be considered a great fortune for our imperial harem."

The Queen Du had a history behind her words. The late emperor had once doted solely on the empress dowager, and the empress dowager was currently making the empress dowager complain. Her beauty was easily aged, and there were many people in the previous dynasty who had never seen the emperor in their lives.

There weren't many imperial concubines nowadays, and they had all been pampered before. This was a rare good fortune for a imperial concubine.

Other than talking about the emperor, the women of this harem had nothing else to say. It was truly lonely. Qin Luofei couldn't help but to lose interest when she heard that it was related to that person.

"Empress, why didn't chenqie see Imperial Consort Leng?"

The one who spoke was a lady wearing a lotus root color pipa dress with a royal blue ribbon tied around her arm. Her hair was tied into a bun like it was made of clouds, and she had a beautiful appearance with a coquettish and alluring smile.

It was the newly beloved Shangguan Die of the Emperor.

Generally speaking, men liked this kind of bewitching woman. The Imperial Consort Leng was one, and so was Imperial Concubine Mo.

The empress's phoenix eyes were cold, but her smile never faded.

This Dowager heard that the Imperial Consort Leng was not feeling well recently, so the empress dowager ordered her to settle down in the palace. A few days ago, This Dowager had thought of asking the imperial physician to take a look, but as I've been too busy recently, I forgot about it.

Xiao Yun Zi, the eunuch by the empress's side, promised and left.

All the concubine s looked at each other. They didn't know what kind of play the empress was singing about, and since when did she become so close to the Imperial Consort Leng.

Now, in the harem, other than the son of the emperor that concubine Ning had, there were no other sons. That day, Emperor Ming made a promise that if Long Zi were to become the crown prince, it seemed that the empress would have to make good use of this opportunity.

"Even if you're not feeling well, you still have to pay respects to the empress. With the emperor's favor, you're really looking down on the empress now."

The Consort Mo sitting to the right of the empress spoke up.

Before the Queen was established, the Consort Mo had always been patient with the Imperial Consort Leng, but now she stood on the side of the Queen against the Imperial Consort Leng.

One was that she had entered the palace even earlier than the Imperial Consort Leng, and her position was only at that level.
