Night, Qin State Imperial Palace.
Inside the heavily guarded palace walls, hidden were the beautiful consorts of the Qin Emperor.
Fengyi Palace was the residence of Empress Jiang, the emperors favorite concubine. Just hearing the name of this palace could give one a sense of the noble status of this imperial concubine within the palace.
Moreover, she is also Queen Rui, Qin Jingyus biological mother.
The palace maidens moved with gentle steps, holding lanterns in the palace and driving away the darkness of the night.
Today is the first day of school.
The rules of the harem in Qin State, on the 1st and 15th days of each month, the Emperor must rest in the Empresss palace. Therefore, tonights Fengyi Palace seems particularly deserted.
Inside the magnificent palace, silken fabrics fluttered gently, and curtains were layered heavily.
A noble lady, wearing the most gorgeous clothes, but with no ornaments on her head. It seems that she was about to remove her makeup and go to bed, but was suddenly called out.
"Get out." The noble lady ordered the palace maids who were waiting on either side behind the curtain with a proud and lazy tone.
The palace maids all retreated with a bow, leaving only the elegant and enchanting figure behind the curtain, as well as the tall figure standing in front of it.
"Come over in the middle of the night, is there something urgent?" The womans voice sounded again, and it was naturally directed at that tall figure.
Tall and slender, dressed in dark attire, he stood out with his majestic figure. Even without anyone to compare him to, it was hard to conceal his elegance. Upon hearing the womans question, he respectfully bowed slightly and said: "Mother, He Cheng has already returned. However..." As he spoke, he briefly recounted what had happened at the Flower Plucking Pavilion.
After he finished speaking, a slender white arm stretched out from behind the curtain, gently lifted the curtains obstruction, and stepped out with lotus steps.
The candlelight shone on her, revealing a stunning beauty with an enchanting demeanor. Her appearance was as lovely as a flower and as gentle as water. Every gesture she made was full of charm, captivating the hearts of all who saw her.
But between his eyebrows, a hidden proud expression seems to carry an air of being high and unattainable.
She is the current emperors favorite concubine, Consort Jiang. She is also the birth mother of Prince Rui Qin Jinhao and Princess Chang Le.
Jiang Guifeis sharp eyes fell on her son, with a hint of severity. Her son was the one she took pride in. Compared to that womans son, she thought her own son was more suitable to be the crown prince.
Unfortunately, there is a distinction between the elder and younger generations, as well as between legitimate and illegitimate children. Even if she were to be favored again, it would not change the fact that her son was born out of wedlock.
"Haoer, you were really too careless this time." Jiang Guifei scolded.
Qin Jinhao, who was usually proud and aloof in front of others, didnt dare to defend himself at this moment. Because his mother was a woman who could compare with men in his heart, with various means that made people admire.
Jiang Guifei raised her hand and gently stroked her hair bun, then said: "You came tonight, probably to tell me to give up on the He familys chess piece."
Qin Jin Huan did not deny it: "Yes, Mother. Now, He Cheng has become the biggest laughing stock in Luo Du. If I continue to use him, my reputation will be tarnished. Besides, this He Cheng is not a talented person and cant even handle small matters."
Qin Jinhaos anger and discontent did not escape Jiang Guifeis eyes.
Jiang Guifeis eyes flickered slightly: "What youre referring to is the lesson taught to Mu Qingge of the Mu family, right?"
Qin Jinhuang by default.
Seeing the excellent son so impatient, Concubine Jiang was somewhat angry. She walked down the steps and went to Qin Jinhaos side, saying sternly: "This palace has told you many times to be patient, everything must prioritize the overall situation. But you secretly instructed He Cheng to humiliate Mu Qingge, leading him into danger. If it werent for his loyal guards sacrificing themselves to save him this time, he would probably already be dead. With his death, our entire plan will be affected, and as for Mu Xiong, no one knows what kind of trouble hell stir up in his extreme grief."
Qin Jinhao was scolded until his face turned gloomy, but he couldnt help defending himself: "Son really cant stand the way Mu Qing looks at me. Mother, dont you know that people in the folk are spreading rumors about my relationship with him, and theres a suspicion of being gay? How can son bear this reputation? Moreover, if father emperor believes these rumors, it will be very bad for my future. I let He Cheng take the lead, originally intending to teach him a lesson and make him know to restrain himself. Who knew he would run to Lao Ri Huang Yuan to seek death, how can this be blamed on me? Besides, after knowing his whereabouts, son also followed Mu Xiong out of Luo Du to search for him, showing concern."
"Fool! Youre really a fool! Cant even bear a loving gaze, how can you achieve great things? If that Mu Qingge is indeed genderless, and loves you, isnt this the greatest joy for you?" Jiang Guifei was so angry she wanted to poke the person in front of her awake with her finger.
"Empress Dowager!" Qin Jinhaos heart skipped a beat.
Seeing him completely not understanding, Jiang Guifei couldnt help but shake her head and sigh softly: "Dont forget, Mu Qingge is your nominal brother-in-law. At the beginning, I let you get close to him, taking advantage of the opportunity to gather him in, just because of Chang Les relationship. Chang Le is your own sister, but was given to Mu Qingge by the Empress Dowager. He is a useless person, even if he looks as handsome and unparalleled, how can he be worthy of my daughter? However, the Empress Dowagers edict, not even the Emperor dared to lightly disobey, we could only endure it. But, even so, we must dig out Mu Qingges value for our use. Mu Qingge is the only legitimate grandson of Mu Xiong, if you can gather him under your command, it will be extremely beneficial for your future affairs. Moreover, with Chang Les relationship in between, no one dares to say that you are forming a clique and secretly pulling strings, cultivating power. But you...
Qin Jinhaos face changed several times, and he cried out in a guilty tone: "Mother..."
He wasnt unaware of these principles. However, the Empress didnt know that he was made to feel extremely uncomfortable by Mu Qings overly familiar behavior, yet he still had to force a smile and pretend to be infatuated.
Hes just a piece of trash, a useless playboy, and his disgusting short sleeves, whats the point of him trying to get close? Just thinking about it makes him feel sick, completely losing his appetite.
Mo Jia, if it were someone else who loved him like that... For example, Bai Suoyue, who was living in the Mo residence...
Suddenly a flash of white appeared in his mind, a weak figure, which made Qin Jinhaos heart waver.
"Haoer, Haoer?"
Jiang Guifeis displeased voice pulled Qin Jinhaos thoughts back.
When he looked up at his mothers eyes, he heard a severe reprimand: "What are you thinking? The empress is talking to you, and youre actually distracted? Youre so absent-minded, it seems like you dont want to go any further. This time with the Mu family, what youve done is really disappointing to me. To make you remember, Ill punish you by confining you to your palace for ten days. During these ten days, stay in your Rui Wang Fu and study military strategy and tactics. As for the He family matter, put it on hold for now and wait until the rumors die down before you go and appease them properly. You havent even ascended to that throne yet, if you were to do something as cruel as cutting off an arm or abandoning a child, Im afraid it would chill the hearts of others. Alright, Im tired, you may withdraw."
Qin Jin Huan walked out of Fengyi Palace with a dark face.
How many years had it been since he last received such a severe scolding from his mother?
All those damn Mochi songs!
After attributing all the reasons to the person he detested in his heart, Qin Jinhaos cold and stern face slightly distorted, and his hands hidden in his sleeves also clenched into fists.
"Sooner or later, I will kill you, to avenge the shame you brought upon me!"
Digression
Let me cry for a while first T_T...... It seems that the original name "Trashy Lady" has great potential for being popular, but now it can only be changed. The new name is "The Rebellious Demon Empress of the Supreme Divine Doctor". Important things are said three times——
"Peerless Doctor: The Rebellious Demon Empress"
"Peerless Doctor: The Rebellious Demon Empress"
"Peerless Doctor: The Rebellious Demon Empress"
My heart hurts so much... I need to find a quiet place to calm down... Waaahhh!
