The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 173: Bewitched

"I accept my orders!"

Chu Xingyao immediately curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, her eyes as bright as autumn water under the light.

I don’t know if it was Nanxiang’s illusion, but she always felt that the princess’ smile seemed a little fake.

It made her look extremely uncomfortable.

After chatting casually for a few words, she asked someone to take her to the bedroom that had been arranged long ago.

The bedroom where she lived was carefully selected by Nan Xiangjing. It was located very close to the Imperial Garden, had a large area, and a quiet environment. It was called Yilan Palace.

As the saying goes, "The ripples of the water are gentle and quiet, and the fragrance of orchids and angelica fills my sleeves."

It means auspiciousness and nobleness.

This is also what Nanxiang hopes to see. She hopes that this person is not the kind of person who likes to do tricks behind the scenes.

……

Yilan Palace.

There are many peonies planted beside the rockery in the inner hall. They are beautiful when the sunlight shines through. From a distance, the flowers are as red as Danxia.

As soon as she entered the hall, the maid Chu Xue came over to help Chu Xingyao take off her heavy clothes.

The smile on her face turned cold as if a page had been turned, and there seemed to be some coldness in her eyes.

"Chu Xue! What do you think of the Imperial Concubine?"

She asked coldly to Chuxue beside her.

"Your Majesty! The Imperial Concubine is beautiful. She looks nice too."

"Not bad? I think it's fake. He must have done a lot of dirty things behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could he overthrow the queen?"

"I don't know!"

As a princess of the An Kingdom and the Northern Dynasty, Chu Xingyao's status was different from that of the Northern Dynasty's concubines. She was more noble, so when she arrived, Gu Junshen gave her a concubine title and gave her the name "Yao".

……

Chaoyang Palace.

"Have you found out any news?"

The virtuous concubine Huang asked Luqi in a deep voice.

Originally, she was a concubine, which was the second highest position in the harem except for the queen. Suddenly, a concubine named Yao who was on the same level as her appeared, which made her extremely unhappy.

So she sent Luqi to find out the news about Concubine Yao early.

"Your Majesty! After Concubine Yao came out of the Yanxi Palace, she went straight back to the palace. She stayed there for about a quarter of an hour."

Luqi squatted and replied.

"It seems that the imperial concubine is also very displeased with him."

After hearing this, Concubine Huang snorted coldly, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Send someone to deliver these cakes and some gifts to Concubine Yao."

The virtuous concubine glanced at Luqi who was squatting on the ground, and casually pointed to the pastries that had been prepared beside her for a long time.

It is a mung bean cake that is quite popular among concubines in late spring and early summer.

After she returned to Chaoyang Palace at 3 p.m., she asked her servants to prepare.

Luqi bowed slightly, stood up and took away the food box containing pastries.

……

Jingren Palace Branch Courtyard.

Queen Chen was kneeling respectfully in front of the Buddha statue, silently reciting scriptures in her hands. Caizhi beside her had been waiting for a long time.

After a long time, Queen Chen finally put down the scripture in her hand, then stood up and walked towards the couch in the bedroom.

"But did you find out anything?"

The queen took a sip of the Biluochun tea on the table and asked softly.

"Your Majesty! The Imperial Concubine only had some skin scraped off at the time, and the wound was treated in time, so the poisoning was not serious."

"How could that be? General Chen assured me that this poison would kill within a quarter of an hour of contact with the wound."

Queen Chen had a serious look in her eyes and a gloomy face.

It was the funniest thing in the world that she, as the queen, was deprived of real power.

But Song Nanxiang became the one with the most honorable position.

She was originally wanted in the hunting party, but the emperor rejected her request without a second thought, saying that she was not qualified for the job.

How is it that she is not qualified to be the queen?

She was so angry that she wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Nanxiang, the woman who made her upset.

Hunting parties are a place where swords are ruthless, so it is understandable that something happened to the imperial concubine at the hunting party.

"I heard from the palace maid who was present at the time that the imperial concubine quickly realized that the arrow was poisonous, so she took out something from her sleeve. When she poured it out, it was a white liquid like water, and then she used gold powder to stop the bleeding."

Caizhi's expression changed slightly, she thought for a moment and then spoke.

"How could Song Nanxiang be so cautious?"

Queen Chen was also stunned after hearing this, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Then she sighed a few times. It was a good opportunity to raise the prince and princess under her care, but it was ruined for no reason.

I don’t know when I will have such an opportunity again in the future.

How long can she sit on the throne of queen?

"Today I heard that Princess Anguo entered the palace. What does she look like?"

"Your Majesty! She is beautiful and behaves gracefully. But her appearance is still far inferior to that of the Imperial Concubine."

Caizhi squatted slightly and expressed her thoughts.

"Humph! There are not many people in this world whose appearance can compare to hers. And yet, I don't know what seductive tricks she used to snatch the emperor's favor from the concubines in the harem one after another."

"Send someone to deliver some jewelry. After some contact, maybe I can use it."

"Yes!"

Caizhi squatted down and saluted, and felt quite disappointed when she saw the queen had closed her eyes.

The Queen promised to let her leave the palace three years ago. Now it has been three years, and she still has not mentioned the matter of leaving the palace. She is now twenty-eight years old.

The marriage arranged by the family was delayed again and again...

……

A few days later, the newly-married princess married Gu Junshen.

The wedding was held in a grand manner. In addition to inviting ministers from the court, some ladies with imperial titles were also invited to serve as witnesses.

There was not much joy on Gu Junshen's face, but his expression was not ugly either. He just had the solemn and dignified look of an emperor, which made people dare not be presumptuous.

As spring turned to summer, the Northern Dynasty's imperial palace became a little more stuffy in early summer.

At this time, in the Yanxi Palace, except for Nanxiang, no one else had much joy on their faces.

Even the two little ones' faces looked a little gloomy.

"Mother! Why hasn't Father come to see me for several days?"

After returning from the study, Gu Yuchen kept complaining to Nanxiang.

"Your father is busy with state affairs today. He will come over in a few days. Of course, you can also go to the Yangxin Palace to look for him."

Nanxiang had a bright smile on her face and looked calm and comfortable, as if she didn't take anything to heart.

I just admired the good methods of Princess Anguo in my heart.

Not long after he was able to sleep with her, Gu Junshen went to her for five consecutive days, as if he had been drugged.

This was the first time Nanxiang had seen such a charming concubine.

However, on the second day of Concubine Yao's service, Nanxiang was surprised to see her dressed in ordinary clothes.

This Princess Yao is even more gorgeous and refined in her ordinary attire than when she is dressed up. Her black eyes are clear and round, and she looks very delicate and lovely.

No wonder she was favored by Gu Junshen for so many days.

Now many concubines in the harem must be very jealous.

After hearing this, Gu Yuchen just curled his lips and did not respond.

He had to go to the study room for classes every day, so he had no time to go to the Yangxin Palace to find Gu Junshen.

Besides, the young tutor has been teaching him the etiquette of a gentleman recently, so he must not overstep his status.

He thought about it over and over again, and didn't know whether going to see his father was against the rules. Now he could only stare at Nanxiang eagerly.
