Chapter 172 - Eyeing

"Look at me?" Leng Mu's face inexplicably flushed red.

"Are you hot? Why is your face so red all of a sudden? " Qin Luofei asked as she looked down at his flushed face.

"I was cleaning up the study just now. It was a bit hot." Concubine Qin, if you have nothing else, you should go out first. In order to attract people's attention, Leng Mu had no choice but to do the work that the servants did.

Qin Luofei walked past him. He had a pair of slender, white, and delicate hands, so he didn't look like someone who did manual labor. Absorbed in his hands, Qin Luofei forgot to look at the road in front of her and crashed into the bookshelf. She held her head that was hit and frowned slightly.

"It hurts."

"Are you alright? Let me see." Leng Mu immediately reached out and gently rubbed her forehead.

Qin Luofei looked at him blankly. At this moment, the distance between them was almost zero. When Leng Mu heard Qin Luofei's hurried breathing, his gaze shifted from her forehead to the corner of her thin lips.

"Are you still in pain?"

"It's fine. Let me go." As she spoke, Qin Luofei pointed to his arm that was wrapped around her waist.

Leng Mu's face slightly flushed red, as he said apologetically: "concubine, I'm sorry.

"No worries, I'll be leaving first then."

Qin Luofei left in a hurry. In the face of this man just now, she inexplicably felt her heartbeat quicken. She didn't like this feeling, it was the same for the Emperor Ming back then. In the end, she betrayed everyone for this man, but in the end, she still ended up like that.

"Miss, are you not feeling well? Why is your face so red? " Qin Luofei went back to the Huishang Hall and sat on the swing, and unexpectedly, that scene of her and Leng Mu just now surfaced in her mind.

"No, I'm just feeling a little hot." Qin Luofei lied so as not to press the issue.

Daihua brought a fan and carefully fanned her.

Qin Luofei closed her eyes slightly. The light from the tree leaves scattered down onto her wide clothes, drifting away.

Daihua was beside him, and he was feeling a bit drowsy.

A delicate and pretty maid walked in from outside and paid his respects.

"Concubine Qin is lucky. Imperial Concubine is inviting you to meet him in the afternoon."

Qin Luofei opened her eyes and was slightly stunned. Why did this person suddenly invite her?

"Go back!" "Go back to your mistress and say that I will punctually make an appointment."

It was not a disaster, it was a disaster that couldn't be avoided. Since she was invited, she naturally wanted to go and see what tricks she could play.

Today, just seven days had passed, and it was estimated that her face would finally be able to see him again.

"Miss, are you sure you want to go?" Daffodil Daydream was somewhat worried.

"Go, why not?" Qin Luofei had already made her preparations, even if it meant leaving her here, the Imperial Consort Leng wouldn't be so foolish as to make a move on her in her own palace.

In the afternoon, Qin Luofei only brought Daihua to the Jin Se Palace.

Just as they entered the courtyard, they saw the palace maids from Jin Se Palace shuttling back and forth.

He had thought that this woman had only invited him, but he hadn't expected her to invite all of the imperial concubines in the palace.

What was this woman up to today?

Qin Luofei entered the inner room, and when she saw the Consort Shu and concubine Luo present, she couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.

When all the concubines had gathered, the Imperial Consort Leng gave a signal to the Consort Shu. Something that would allow them to sit down and discuss with each other could probably only be done under the orders of Emperor Ming.

So it turned out that the decision to choose the women was also part of the plan of the Emperor Ming, after discussing it with him.

Before the women s were selected, the few remaining concubines in the palace were invited to gather there to discuss on how to select a talent.

Concubine Qin had an unwilling expression. When a new person came, he would inevitably snatch her love.

Not to mention the Concubine Qin, the rest of the concubine s were naturally unwilling as well. Unfortunately, the Emperor had already spoken and they had no choice but to obey.

In the past, the selections were always the empress dowager's and the empress's business, but now, the empress dowager no longer cared about the affairs of the palace. The empress dowager had always been vacant, so the concubines had to contribute.

"Today, we called our sisters here for only one purpose. That is, we can get along peacefully, so that the Emperor won't have to worry about us while we're busy with the government." Imperial Consort Leng rolled her eyes when she said this.

In the imperial harem, she had always loved scheming and scheming, but now she still had the face to speak such words.

"Imperial Consort Leng, let's cut to the chase. The imperial concubines in the imperial harem still have their own matters to attend to." Consort Shu immediately interrupted her.

Imperial Consort Leng glanced at Consort Shu unwillingly and continued to speak: "Consort Shu, I am just saying the unsightly words first, in case some people do not know the limits of the heavens and the earth, and disobey the emperor's wishes."

Qin Luofei could only do things she couldn't hear.

In any case, there was no way the dog could spit out the ivory.

Imperial Consort Leng continued: "I have nothing else to say, so I just hope that my sisters will stand united as an example to the later concubines."

Imperial Consort Leng was a woman who liked to do things that looked good on the surface, but liked to plot against others from the shadows. Within the imperial harem, who didn't know of her natural disposition? Other than the Consort Shu, who was on equal footing with her, she dared to speak in such a straightforward manner.

Qin Luofei and Luo Ziyan looked at each other. The two of them could not help but laugh, but it was not good to reveal it.

"Sister Qin, are you feeling better?" Luo Ziyan said in a low voice.

Qin Luo Fei held onto Luo Ziyan's hand and whispered, "Sister is already much better, sister, are you still coughing? Is the Imperial Physician Lin's medicine still effective? "

Imperial Consort Leng's gaze swept over Qin Luofei and Luo Ziyan. Seeing the two of them mumbling in low voices, what did they say? She felt slightly displeased in her heart.

"Concubine Qin, did you forget the rules of the palace because you were locked in Huishang Hall for too long? I am discussing the selection with my sisters while you are muttering with concubine Luo about it. Are you not satisfied with my and Consort Shu's decision? If there is anything you want to say, you can say it out loud.

"Imperial Concubine, didn't we gather all the sisters today so that they could speak freely? Sister Luo and I were just discussing that beautiful lady who was refined like a jade. She was not talking about anything else, please enlighten us, Imperial Concubine. " Qin Luofei was neither humble nor overbearing, her eyes opened wide as she told lies. Luo Ziyan secretly laughed at her from the side, but it was not easy to see it.

Imperial Consort Leng was so angry that her ears were red, she couldn't say anything. She only said hatefully, "Little Sister Qin's words are getting sharper and sharper. No wonder the emperor thinks so highly of Little Sister Qin?"

Everyone in the palace knew that the Emperor had been extremely cold and detached towards the Concubine Qin, and it was obvious that he was giving them a hard time.

"Imperial Concubine is instantly praised, chenqie doesn't dare to accept." Qin Luofei didn't reject them with a good mood, causing Imperial Consort Leng to choke with anger.

Unsatisfied, Consort Shu interjected and said: "What Concubine Qin said is true, the imperial concubine has already become the sovereign of the country. In this selection, we will definitely select a concubine with both good and bad looks to fill the harem, and allow the Emperor's sons to reproduce. You tell me about that Imperial Consort Leng."

Seeing Consort Shu interrupt her, Qin Luofei naturally did not say anything.

Imperial Consort Leng had always known that Qin Luofei and Consort Shu both wore the same pants. Since the two of them were working together to deal with her, she naturally wasn't a match for them, so she could only bear with it.

He had wanted to hurt this woman, but he didn't think that they would join hands to deal with him. The matter of the red rash on his face had not been settled yet?

"It's enough for the Consort Shu to make the decision, I'm pregnant, so I can't care about that. Compared to Sister Qin and Sister Luo who are not involved, I'm very free. How about Sister Qin and Sister Luo help the Consort Shu manage the talent show?"

Imperial Consort Leng's words were extremely spicy and she did not relax for even a moment.

Consort Shu frowned. She looked at Qin Luofei and saw her indifferent expression. Imperial Consort Leng deliberately picked off Concubine Qin's scars. Consort Shu was really afraid that she would lose her patience and fall for Imperial Consort Leng's tricks. She was pregnant, and if something went wrong, she could turn the crime into an assault on the dragonblood.

"Sisters, all of you can leave now! I still have something to say with the Imperial Consort Leng. "

All of the concubine s took their leave, leaving Imperial Consort Leng and Imperial Consort Leng behind.

"Consort Shu, when did you choose women? Since the emperor handed this matter to you, have you already arranged everything?" Imperial Consort Leng asked.

"I have already given the orders for this matter. In three days, we will begin the selection process. As for the current Ministry of Internal Affairs's primary selection, we will just do the re-selection." Consort Shu saw the Imperial Consort Leng's eyes flickering, who knows what she was planning? This woman is always restless.

Imperial Consort Leng laughed: "That's good, we can't let Consort Shu be tired."

Consort Shu only spoke a few words with Imperial Consort Leng before she stood up and left. Mainly, she didn't have anything to say to Imperial Consort Leng.

Qin Luofei returned to the Huishang Hall. Everything had been a complete mess, but now that she had picked the women, who knew what kind of trouble the imperial harem would cause again. Women have always loved to fuss about things, and every time they chose a women, there would always be a few concubines who would fall out of favor. Therefore, choosing a women was beneficial to the Emperor, but it wasn't a good thing for the women of the harem.

"Miss, who do you think will be the young lady from that mansion be chosen as the women?" Sunflower felt that the days passed really quickly. His young miss' talent show seemed to have happened yesterday, but now it was her turn to look at the other women.

"This is hard to say. I don't have the mind to speculate about this right now, so the Consort Shu will naturally decide this." Qin Luofei only wanted to quietly wait for the optimal time.

She was more curious about the whereabouts of the Emperor Yun. If the Emperor Ming had not been restored, what would have been her current situation? Would the little princess also be able to live well?

While Qin Luofei was still in deep thought, maid came in to report, "Leng Mu, I request to see concubine."

Cold?

Qin Luofei said, "Invite him in."

Leng Mu went into the outer room and greeted respectfully: "Concubine Qin, Imperial Physician Lin has asked me to send over tonic medicine for you. Although your body is completely recovered, you still need to be treated."

Leng Mu had only come to find an excuse to come visit Qin Luofei.

"Help me thank Imperial Physician Lin." Qin Luofei took the herbs.

Ever since that time in Imperial Physician Lin's study, the two of them had always felt a little awkward when they met each other. Leng Mu looked up at Qin Luofei and only felt that it seemed like a lifetime had passed. Actually, he didn't even understand what Qin Luofei felt like himself.

After Leng Mu left, Qin Luofei was still looking in the direction he left in.

Miss, Master Leng has already gone far, what are you still looking at? Daffodil Daydream looked at Qin Luofei with a puzzled expression, wondering why her young miss was so concerned about this cold curtain.

"Who said I saw him?" Qin Luofei said angrily.

Xi Ju laughed: "Miss, don't be so stubborn, Master Leng is very likeable. There are many ladies who like him now. "

"Oh? "There's such a thing?" This was outside of Qin Luofei's expectations.

"Yes, there aren't many people with such looks in the palace, after all." Sunflower seemed to have a good impression of Leng Mu.

Qin Luofei saw something fishy in Daihua's eyes.
