Chapter 146 - Appointment of Imperial Consort Leng

After returning to the palace, Qin Luofei temporarily stayed in the palace behind the Emperor's imperial study, while the Emperor Yun and the Fifth Prince stayed there very late.

Tomorrow, the Emperor would pass down a decree inviting the Imperial Advisors, the Third Marquis, and all the other princes to accompany him.

Qin Luofei did not know where the Emperor Yun was staying, nor did she bother to ask. She only heard Caihua excitedly describing the grand situation of the front hall.

Ever since they had entered the palace, the palace had not been peaceful and it had never held a banquet. With this opportunity, concubines could finally relax.

Other than the concubine s that were locked up, there was only a single concubine in the Emperor Yun and it was inevitable that the late emperor would also bring the concubine to attend.

I don't know if it's Imperial Consort Leng or Consort Shu.

Seeing that the weather was good, Qin Luofei sent Dusk Blossom to invite Imperial Consort Leng and the others over to admire the chrysanthemum.

Emperor Yun knew that Qin Luofei liked chrysanthemums, so he ordered people to cultivate many varieties of them and placed them in the imperial garden.

Qin Luofei brought her men over with her under a cloud. Drinking the wine slowly while kowtowing to the melon seeds, she feared that the good days like this would soon come to an end. Who knew how many women would survive in this palace.

"Little sister, you unexpectedly invited us to admire the chrysanthemums when we arrived at Ya Xin City today." Imperial Consort Leng and Qin Luoyu respectively brought two maid s over.

Qin Luofei took a glance at Imperial Consort Leng and saw that she was dressed in a luxurious phoenix gown with embroidered clouds and jade hairpins embedded in it. Her beauty was the same as it used to be, no different from the time she was most favored.

"Big sister, you're always so beautiful, and you're always worthy of respect from little sister."

The Imperial Consort Leng smiled, and snorted coldly.

Qin Luoyu shot a displeased glance at Qin Luofei, but did not say a word.

Consort Shu and Luo Ziyan walked leisurely behind him. After admiring the chrysanthemums, they went up to the pavilion and smiled. "These chrysanthemums are more fresh than the previous years.

"Elder sister, the emperor has been good to you as well!" But I heard that I've bestowed you with a lot of good things. " Qin Luofei retorted without batting an eyelid.

Consort Shu sat on a stool and shot a flirtatious glance at Imperial Consort Leng. She glanced at Qin Luofei before continuing to smile: "The late emperor has already sent people to bring us out of the palace. Maybe tomorrow, when I and my sister will see you again."

Ever since these concubine entered the palace, they had never thought of leaving one day.

For a person like the Imperial Consort Leng who had enjoyed the glory and wealth of the palace, letting her leave was even harder than killing her.

Imperial Consort Leng did not speak, and only moved her lips.

Qin Luoyu was finally no longer able to hold it in, and mocked sarcastically: "Some people are already rich, you can continue to stay in the palace and enjoy yourself!"

After she heard Qin Luoyu's words, Qin Luofei disapproved. Her eyes swept across the crowd, and she said, "In the past, when the late emperor was here, all of you said that you loved your majesty, but how many people truly loved your majesty? Know what he's afraid of? Know what he needs? Perhaps, even now, it was the same. What can you blame me for? We're just the same, thinking about ourselves. Am I right? "Elder sister."

Qin Luofei's words hit the nail on the head. These concubine loved the Emperor only because the Emperor could give them wealth and prosperity, as well as bring prosperity for their family. Other than that, they didn't know if they truly loved the Emperor or not.

When the Emperor disappeared, they were only there to protect their own lives and get entangled with their family. Now, the late emperor had just become an ordinary person in their hearts.

"Sister is right, even if you blame others, you still have to see if you have the qualifications or not." Consort Shu was someone who would do whatever she wanted. She would help this one time, and she would help that one time.

Imperial Consort Leng and Qin Luoyu could argue with Qin Luofei, but they didn't dare to do anything to Consort Shu. They couldn't afford to offend him right now.

"Since my sisters are leaving the palace tomorrow, let us toast them and wish them an early reunion with the late emperor." Qin Luofei raised the sparkling white cup in her hand and drank it all in one gulp.

These cups were bestowed to her by the Emperor Yun, and each of them were different from the others. They were all carved from precious jade, and then sculpted into different colors.

"What a beautiful cup." Consort Shu played with the jade green cup in her hand, unwilling to let go.

If a piece of this jade was embedded onto a hairpin and was carved into a cup, its value could be imagined.

"Your majesty, I'm really willing." Qin Luoyu mocked as he played with the blood-red cup in his hand.

Qin Luofei giggled and said faintly: "Elder sister, I didn't think that your mean personality hadn't changed at all."

Everyone thought that Qin Luoyu was still a legitimate daughter of the Qin family, but they did not expect him to be so unkind, and seize the opportunity to mock and ridicule them.

"You …" Qin Luoyu glared at Qin Luofei fiercely.

The chrysanthemum was alluring and the fragrance filled the air.

The few of them did a little work for a while before dispersing.

Only the Consort Shu was left to accompany Qin Luofei in a few steps.

"Little sister, I admire you more and more for your methods." Consort Shu said faintly.

Qin Luofei stopped, reached out to pluck a blossoming chrysanthemum, and smiled: "Elder sister, since when have I begun to admire you? It's better that I admire you."

"That jug is so beautiful. I heard that it's called the Eight Treasures Exquisite Bottle, because it can pour out eight different types of fine wine." Consort Shu also plucked a chrysanthemum and placed it by her sideburns.

Qin Luofei also put hers on Consort Shu's hair before she said indifferently, "I feel that it's good that we're the only sisters in this palace, the others are too unnecessary. Elder sister, what do you think?"

"Little sister's idea is naturally the best. Big sister also feels that those people really talk too much. It would be better to wait until I have the skills to thoroughly talk about them." Consort Shu held onto Qin Luofei's hand, and said with an enchanting smile.

Qin Luofei giggled and said, "Big sister's idea is even better, but now is not the time. If some people let them go happily, then they won't be too satisfied. Big sister, what do you think?"

"Of course, of course I want to have a good time." Consort Shu and Qin Luofei strolled around the courtyard, spoke a lot of things, and talked about Empress Dowager.

"The empress dowager is very well." Qin Luofei said with a low voice.

Consort Shu shook her head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Empress Dowager is truly wise in his entire life, it's a pity that I'm only looking at the thing in front of me right now."

"Empress Dowager really wants too many things." Qin Luofei looked at Consort Shu with her eyes. Empress Dowager was the real reason why Consort Shu and Qin Luofei were unable to join hands in the palace.

Consort Shu restrained the smile on her face and said: "What little sister said is true. Empress Dowager is really old."

The two of them looked at each other and saw the coldness in each other's eyes.

Sometimes, Qin Luofei felt like she was the same person as the Consort Shu. She would suppress her desire and look down on the palace's power and wealth, but she also had a mission that she could not escape.

"There's nothing to walk around in this courtyard. Elder sister will be going back first. When I leave the palace tomorrow, I won't be coming back to visit you." Consort Shu lazily reached out her hand to caress her stomach.

Qin Luofei looked at Consort Shu and said with a smile, "Maybe Big Sis is pregnant with an Emperor."

Consort Shu smiled lazily and asked a question in reply: "Could it be that little sister hopes that the one in her stomach is the Emperor?"

"What's so good about the emperor? A group of women are plotting this and the officials are on guard. The empress dowager is suppressing this and the prince is still better off with ease. Elder sister, what do you say?" Qin Luofei looked at the Consort Shu with a smile.

Consort Shu stretched out her hand, filled the entire dress train and said: "As long as there is no one who hates me, I am fine with anything."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Consort Shu supported the servant girl back. Qin Luofei looked at Consort Shu's back, her eyes gradually turning cold.

"Let's go to the western palace! I haven't been anywhere for a long time. " Qin Luofei dismissed the other palace maids by her side, leaving behind only Chrysanthemum and Zi Yuan.

After Zi Yuan left the palace for a few days, she was afraid that it would cause suspicion, so she summoned her back.

The place that Qin Luofei went was where Second Prince was imprisoned before, and there was still a crazy woman from the palace.

Qin Luofei walked over to the place where she met the Wannabe last time. Seeing that this place was even more desolate than before, overgrown with weeds, she didn't know if that person was still alive.

She had secretly instructed people to take good care of him, but he did not understand.

Qin Luofei entered the yard and saw only a young eunuch sleeping in the sun.

Just as Xi Ju wanted to wake the young eunuch up, Qin Luofei waved her hand, "Wait for me at the door, don't let anyone see you."

"Yes, miss." Sunflower and Zi Yuan retreated to the main entrance.

Qin Luofei pushed open the doors of the palace. This palace was where the princes would usually study in the past, but it was too remote and gradually became the place to imprison the concubine and the princes.

Inside the hall, there was a very heavy smell of mold. Qin Luofei used her kernels to cover her nose and mouth.

Walking from the inner chamber to the pavilion, he saw that the pavilion only had a bed without curtains, bed was making a woman, playing with her fingers.

"I didn't expect sister to be playing dumb when she was alone."

Qin Luofei found a chair for herself and sat down, looking at the woman.

The woman's complexion was haggard, her hair was a mess, and her clothes were not bad, but they were torn in a few places.

"If you are guarded and framed every day, your sister will be the same as your sister."

Wannabe knew that Qin Luofei already knew that he was playing the fool, so she didn't continue to pretend.

"Is it the Imperial Consort Leng that wants to harm big sister? She will leave the palace tomorrow, so Big Sister need not be afraid anymore. " Qin Luofei's gaze lightly swept across the warm pavilion. Although the surface was dirty and messy, the bedding on the bed s were especially clean.

When the Wannabe heard Imperial Consort Leng, her eyes were filled with hatred, and she said angrily: "Is that person really leaving the palace?"

"Yes, the late emperor has already sent someone to take her out of the palace." Qin Luofei nodded, but her eyes did not let go of the coldness in Wannabe's eyes.

When the Wannabe heard the late emperor, her entire body trembled uncontrollably.

Qin Luofei naturally knew that the Wannabe deeply loved her majesty, and it was only because she had not done so in her previous life that she had offended the Imperial Consort Leng. If she did not play the fool, she would have been killed by the Imperial Consort Leng.
