    The royal concubine arrives(18)

    Not long after, it was the emperor’s birthday party.Leng Xiyan hated attending palace banquets and usually couldn’t avoid them.But this time she attended the emperor’s birthday.Firstly, she is a favored imperial concubine, and secondly, the supporting actress Lu Manzhi is about to appear, and Leng Xiyan is very curious about her.

    Leng Xiyan sat at the bottom with a nonchalant look on her face.There was nothing new in the song and dance performances in the palace, and she was tired of watching them.

    At this time, all the candles around were extinguished. Just when I was wondering, the melodious music of the piano sounded. One by one, the palace maids held palace lanterns and illuminated the venue in the middle of the banquet. A dancer in a red gauze skirt was seen dancing gracefully surrounded by the palace ladies.

    Her face was covered with a veil and her appearance could not be seen clearly.She danced gracefully, moving her lotus feet lightly, shuttled freely like a butterfly, attracting the attention of everyone present.Especially the emperor, his eyes were almost glued to her.

    The sound of the piano became more and more passionate, and the woman’s dance steps became faster and faster. Her soft waist bent into an incredible arc, her body was light and her wide sleeves were graceful, like a fairy from the Moon Palace who was riding the wind and wanted to go away.

    The sound of the piano stopped, and the woman finished her dance. Yingying knelt down and said, “My dear daughter, I am here to see your majesty. I wish your majesty to be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains…” Her voice was so charming that it made the emperor laugh so hard that he couldn’t even see his eyebrows.

    “Beauty, please wake up… I wonder what your beauty’s name is and how old you are? Can you let me see your beauty?” The emperor’s cloudy eyes stared at her tightly, making no secret of his desire.

    The woman took off her veil, revealing an extremely charming face, “Your Majesty, my daughter’s name is Lu Manzhi, she is sixteen years old…”

    The emperor looked at her with an expression on his face, “Beauty, are you willing to enter the palace and be my beloved concubine? I guarantee that you will enjoy endless glory and wealth…”

    “My little girl is willing…” Lu Manzhi’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and his eyes looked at the emperor with a hint of charm.

    Emperor Long Xin was overjoyed and made her a noble concubine. He gave her a residence in Ganquan Palace and summoned her to sleep with her that night.

    Lu Manzhi was born in a brothel. She was very good at seducing men. She had acquired countless strange and obscene skills. She was coquettish enough in bed and captured the emperor’s heart.The two of them spent the whole day having fun in Ganquan Palace and were so happy.

    Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so all the concubines should come to pay their respects to the queen.However, the other concubines had already arrived at the Queen’s Palace early, but Lu Manzhi was the only one who had not arrived yet. Many of the concubines were very dissatisfied with this.

    “The Queen… The Imperial Concubine hasn’t come yet, which obviously means she doesn’t take you seriously…” One of the concubines said.

    “That’s it… Queen, you are the master of the harem. If the imperial concubine disrespects you so much, you have to teach her a lesson later so as not to mess up the rules of the harem…” Another concubine said.

    “Concubine Lu may have been delayed by something. Please be patient and wait a little longer…” the queen said.Leng Xiyan, on the other hand, never made a sound from the beginning to the end.

    “Concubine Lu Guifei has arrived…” At this time, the eunuch’s shrill voice came from the palace gate.

    I saw a beautiful woman wearing a bright red palace dress, surrounded by palace maids, stepping into the Queen’s Palace.

    “I, my concubine, meet the Queen…” Lu Manzhi greeted the Queen tenderly.

    “Concubine Lu is free of ceremony…” The queen smiled and asked her to stand up.

    “Thank you, Queen…” Lu Manzhi then sat down.

    “The imperial concubine has come so early, which makes it easier for the concubines to wait…” Mei Fei satirized her in a sinister way.

    “I wanted to come over earlier to pay homage to the Empress and the sisters, but the Emperor insisted on talking to me this morning, so I am late. Please forgive me, sisters…” Lu Manzhi covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, her tone filled with indescribable pride.

    “You…” Not only Concubine Mei, but also the other concubines looked a little unhappy.

    “If I said something wrong and offended all the sisters, please forgive me. It is my first time to enter the palace and I am not familiar with the rules of the palace. I have been in the palace for no longer than you…” Lu Manzhi said slowly.

    As soon as she said these words, all the concubines looked at her with anger: What do you mean? This is a mockery of her old age and beauty, it is really too much…

    “We are all sisters. How can we not offend? The most important thing is to serve His Majesty well together…” the queen said good-naturedly.

    “What the Queen said is true, and I think so too. When His Majesty comes tonight, I will persuade him to go to her sister’s palace more often. After all, the concubine cannot take all the favors by herself, right?” Lu Manzhi looked at everyone present with a smile.

    The atmosphere that had finally been relaxed was frozen again by Lu Manzhi’s few words.After Lu Manzhi entered the palace, the emperor had not been to other concubines’ palaces, which made the concubines in the harem very dissatisfied. Now she is still mocking them. How can those concubines give her a good look?

    The queen felt helpless about this, but Leng Xiyan looked like she was watching a show: This Lu Manzhi is quite interesting. He offended the entire harem with just a few words. With such a temper, he is like the second concubine Zhen.I just don’t know how long her favor can last.Once she falls out of favor one day, I’m afraid she will have a hard time.
