014 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” apologizes

In the next few days, Yan Zhaozhao kept his duties as usual and followed the abbot to chant sutras with the Queen Mother. The days were relatively peaceful.

But today, Yan Zhaozhao, who had returned from morning classes and planned to take a nap, received an uninvited guest in her room.

Concubine Yue, who had never come to see her before, brought her palace maid to pay her respects today.Yan Zhaozhao frowned slightly and couldn’t remember who Yue Pin was for a moment.Bi Luo reminded her softly in her ear, and she suddenly realized that this concubine Yue was the beloved concubine who chewed her tongue and was pulled out of the main hall of the Buddhist temple by the Queen Mother.

Since people came to pay her respects, she had absolutely no reason to let them go back.

“Concubine, I send my regards to the empress, may she be blessed with peace and prosperity.” Yue concubine gave her a standard greeting. Looking at her submissive features, she couldn’t see her as the same person as her arrogant and domineering concubine.

“Get up, give me a seat.” Seeing her sit down, Yan Zhaozhao didn’t bother to chat with her. When she was in the palace, Yue Bi had never gone to Fengyi Palace to say hello. It must not be as simple as saying hello today.”Why did my sister suddenly remember to come to this palace today?”

Hearing this, Yue Bin smiled and gently stroked her bun with her slender fingertips.”What are you talking about? I was a concubine who violated my etiquette before, so I came here to apologize to you today.”

Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this, as if she was a little surprised.Not to mention how many days had passed, her attitude was definitely not an apology.Concubine Yue is wearing the most fashionable Yanluo skirt, her bun is covered with luxurious gem hairpins, and there are exquisitely crafted steps hanging on both sides of the bun, showing her nobility.Compared to her sober appearance, Yue Bi at this moment looked more like a graceful and luxurious queen.

Yue Bin seemed to know what she was thinking, a look of apology suddenly appeared between her brows and eyes, and the smile on the corners of her lips slightly subsided. She looked distressed, but her tone was slightly cheerful.”Concubine actually wanted to come here to apologize to the empress for a long time, but the emperor summoned concubine to sleep with him for several nights in a row.” She lowered her eyes, her cheeks were stained with a little blush, and her hand holding the handkerchief covered the corners of her lips with a look of embarrassment.”This, this… has been delayed for a while, I hope your Majesty won’t take offense.”

At this point, Yan Zhaozhao wouldn’t know that the person in front of her was not sincerely apologizing, but was out of resentment for having made a fool of herself, and deliberately used his honor and favor to hinder her eyes.

In this case, she doesn’t have to be polite to the person in front of her.

Yan Zhaozhao was about to speak, but he heard her Yue Concubine change the subject. She changed her shy tone just now and suddenly lowered her voice mysteriously, “When I was sleeping yesterday, your Majesty… mentioned the empress.” She deliberately paused silently, as if she had lowered her hook and waited for the fish to bite her bait.

She chuckled, feeling a little more interested, and didn’t mind biting down Yue Bin’s clumsy and unpalatable bait.”What did the emperor say?”

Concubine Yue deliberately hesitated for a long time, pretending to be embarrassed, and then said slowly and softly: “Your Majesty said… the empress is not worthy of her virtue, and she has long wanted to depose her. She also said… the empress is not gentle at all, and she cannot be as gentle as the concubines.”

After saying this, she lowered her head, looking as if she had been wronged, but her eyes were filled with pride.She just wanted to embarrass this empty-name queen. That day she was dragged out in public, made to kneel down, and even scolded by the queen mother. She even said that she was not as sensible as the queen.She wanted to see how sensible the queen was today. She deliberately lied about what the emperor said in bed, just to make the queen attack, so that she could let the emperor make the decision for her.

Yue Bin was still hanging her head, waiting for the queen to get angry and punish her, but what was waiting for her was an understatement of a smile from the queen.”Your Majesty is right. I am indeed not as considerate as Yue Concubine.”

Seeing that she actually admitted it, Yue Bin was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. Her eyes were full of disbelief, which was completely different from what she had imagined.For a moment, she opened and closed her mouth, but no sound came out.

“Do you know why I don’t care?” Yan Zhaozhao continued without waiting for her answer: “Because no matter how bad I am in the eyes of the emperor, I am still the master of the harem and the queen of the middle palace.”

“What about you? Why are you sitting here?”

Yue Bin’s face instantly became very ugly. The Queen’s words were clearly telling her that no matter what she did or what plots she used, she would never be able to shake her even a little bit. It was just a useless effort.

“Do you know why I never participate in your harem fights?” Yan Zhaozhao’s eyes flashed with a trace of sarcasm, “The flowering period of women in the harem is too short. The concubines who are still concubines today may be relegated to the cold palace tomorrow, and will never be beaten again.The Emperor likes beauties, and there are so many beauties in the palace.How long can the Emperor remember them?No matter how much you fight for them, if you can’t keep the Emperor’s heart, you will end up dying in the palace.”

“Impossible!” Concubine Yue subconsciously retorted, “The emperor will not treat me like this. The emperor loves me very much and invites me to sleep with him for several nights in a row. It can’t be just a whim!”

Yan Zhaozhao smiled sweetly, but the sarcasm in her smile was deeper, “I vaguely remember that the emperor was very fond of a nobleman a few months ago. He called her to sleep with her for several nights in a row and refused to go to court until dawn. Do you know how that nobleman is doing now?”

“How?” She couldn’t help but be curious, but she didn’t realize that the person who dropped the bait had become Yan Zhaozhao, and she had become the fish that took the bait.

Yan Zhaozhao’s smile deepened, “Because she served for several nights in a row but failed to keep the emperor in bed, the emperor was bored and sent this person to the cold palace.”

Yue Bin’s face turned pale inch by inch, and her legs were a little weak, but she couldn’t help but recall that although the emperor had invited her to sleep with him in the past few days, he was not as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning.After speaking, she was already a little panicked, but in an instant she remembered where she was, gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm, and her face pretended to be calm.”Your Majesty, don’t worry. This concubine is different from the abandoned concubine. The emperor really loves me.”

Yan Zhaozhao did not refute, but said softly: “Then I wish my sister’s flowering period will be longer.”

“Definitely.” Yue Concubine stood up suddenly and blessed her body slightly perfunctorily, “It’s getting late. The Emperor will probably call his concubine to bed today. It’s time for her to go back and get ready.”

Yan Zhaozhao nodded, “Go.”

Yue Bin left angrily, no longer as calm and proud as when she came.Yue Bin’s plan failed, and she didn’t expect the Queen to be so scheming. She accidentally got involved by the Queen. Not only did she fail to find a chance for the Emperor to punish her, but she now fell into such a panic and uneasy mood.

Once people have these two emotions of fear and uneasiness, they will easily lose control of their brains and make actions that appear to be self-protective.

But in fact, it is self-destruction.

“Bi Luo, follow her and see if she will do what I expected.” Yan Zhaozhao gestured to Bi Luo to take out the porcelain bottle that the Queen Mother gave her that day. “If so, go to the dining room to make a snack and add it to the cake, and then give it to the emperor to taste in my name.”

Such a good return gift is indispensable for the emperor.
