Chapter 4 - What kind of operation was this??? (1/2)

Although Emperor Chunjia had been on the throne for eight years, he had not yet taken over the imperial affairs personally. In addition to spending time in the Imperial Harem every day, he only went to the Imperial Study, listening to lectures given by some great scholars who were appointed by the Empress Dowager.

Maybe for this reason, he seemed not grave or peremptory, with long eyebrows and bright eyes, full of modest. He was like a jade. For the noble ladies who entered the palace, he attended the fete in the Ancestral Temple for having children, and he came here directly after that, wearing the imperial robe and crown of the emperor. Without his exquisite clothes, he was more like a rich man full of knowledge.

“Lianniang.” The Emperor was slightly surprised when he saw the messy scene right after he entered the palace, “What’s happening?”

Consort Yue’s infant name was Lianniang. Since she joined the Imperial Harem, only Queen Mother Yuan and Emperor Chunjia called her like this.

Consort Yue was aggressive originally, after hearing this, her eyes became red, and the arm she had just raised was immediately put down. She didn’t intend to act as a virtuous person in front of Chunjia, but felt wronged, “Congratulations, Your Majesty has beautiful women again! An old, ugly, and yellow-faced woman like me who doesn’t know how to play the coquetry should has asked to leave the palace earlier. In that way, I don’t have to be bullied in public by a little Bao Lin who just entered the palace!”

Before the words ended, Yun Fenghuang had already stepped out of her side, got a few steps forward with her knees, and kowtowed to Emperor Chunjia as she wept, “I don’t dare! I am wronged!”

Knowing that Consort Yue was difficult to serve, Yun Fenghuang didn’t dare to dress herself too exquisite when she came here to serve the meal for Consort Yue, but wore like a maid at first sight. However, she was a born beauty, and the tears made her like an apricot blossom dipping in spring morning. And it was easier for others to notice her white skin and teeth, black hair, and red lips under such an occasion.

Being timidly trembling, explaining and kneeling on the ground, she looked more pitiful as others saw the distress in her eyes. Not only did Chunjia stare for a moment, but Consort Yue, who was just talking angrily. Looking down, she could not help but feel heart ache that she was indeed not that young … at least not as young as the flower-like little girl!

“Don’t you dare to seduce your Majesty in front of me, bitch?!” Consort Yue’s heart hurt, and she was even more reluctant to let Yun Fenghuang go. She kicked without thinking, scolding, “Even if you had learned no rules in your family, haven’t you learnt the palace rules these days?!”

Although Consort Yue said that Yun Fenghuang was a sister of Noble Consort Shu’s tribe and she didn’t dare to offend her when they first met, she didn’t care about this actually. In particular, Yun Fenghuang looked very soft and easy to bully, so she was even more abusive at this moment.

However, who could expect that right after she lifted her leg a little, Yun Fenghuang had been crying for tears and begging for mercy, saying “Please forgive me, My Lady”, but her hands were unambiguously pulling Consort Yue’s skirt violently. Consort Yue staggered without preparation, and the next moment, a more embarrassing thing happened. Accompanied by the falling of the pomegranate dress inlaid with gems and jade gold, the peony and hibiscus skirt with embroidered purple grapes on the bottom couldn’t handle it, and slipped down!

The main hall of Hu Zhu Palace was silent for a moment!

Even Emperor Chunjia of supremacy showed an incredible expression. How could he imagine that things would develop like this???

“…” Suddenly her legs were cold and naked in public. Consort Yue’s brain went blank. For a while, she didn’t know what to do. But the initiator, Yun Fenghuang, after a short shock, took a breath, suddenly stood up and went straight out of the hall!

Seeing this, Consort Yue returned to herself, without lifting her skirt, shouting sternly, “Get me that bitch —”

She wanted her to be cut into pieces. But before she finished, she heard a sound of a heavy object falling into the water. One of the servants came in panic to confess, “Your Majesty, My Lady, Bao Lin Yun has jumped into the water!”

The anger that Consort Yue was about to explode was stuck in her throat instantly. Although she was known as the childhood sweetheart and fiancée of Emperor Chunjia, and she wasn’t virtuous and amiable, she had retained her title as Consort after years of experience. That was to say, she was not a person who didn’t know when to size up the situation.

Therefore, since Yun Fenghuang was just the so-called adoptive daughter of Yun’s Family, she could embarrass her or spite her to some extent. But if Yun Fenghuang was dead on the first day she entered the palace, the hostess of Tong Xia Palace, Noble Consort Shu, would take it as an excuse. Even if she didn’t feel sorry for her so-called sister, she would fight for the dignity of Yun’s Family, and insist that she had to give an explanation for it!

What’s more, compared with Noble Consort Shu, who was also a Consort, the head of the Imperial Harem, Empress Ji, hated Yuan Lianniang more.

… In short, once this matter became serious, no matter what would happen to Yun Fenghuang, Consort Yue was bound to be in trouble!

“Bao Lin Yun was unfamiliar with the paths of the palace, stepped on the lake stone sloppily, and accidentally fell into the water. Don’t you hurry up and save her?” When the servant entered the palace to report, Emperor Chunjia had quickly taken off his outmost robe to cover Consort Yue. At this moment he said slowly, “Bao Lin Yun was young. When she heard that I came over, she mistakenly turned the wine and dishes, and stained the Consort’s skirt…”

When Consort Yue heard him here, she could not help feel angrier because she knew what he meant!

She was definitely reluctant to forgive Yun Fenghuang. But if this incident spread out today, then even if she killed that bitch with rob punishment, she would also become the joke in the Imperial Harem—even the Empress Dowager, Queen Mother Ji and Empress Ji would call her for reprimand and ask why she did not fasten the belt? Why it dropped so easily … And her skirt even fell in front of the Emperor. What was she up to?!

For Consort Yue’s education background, she might hang herself if she was insulted in that way!

Therefore, she could only knock her teeth down and swallow them in her belly. She admitted that Yun Fenghuang just clumsily served for her meal, staining her dress… helping this bitch to cover up this scandal!

Consort Yue was born in a noble family, Fuyang County. She had been spoiled without suffering any grievances ever since she was a child. But the degree of torture right now was almost comparable to the time when her empress title was taken away!

After all, Ji’s power was really incomparable then that of Yuan’s Family. Without Ji’s Family, the former Princedom of Fuyang County could not become the emperor. So, she had nothing to complain about this. But Yun Fenghuang … Who the hell was she?! On the point of identity and title, she was not even worth mentioning in front of her, Yuan Lianniang!?

But she had to follow Chunjia’s words to minimize the case, “Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will never argue with this little Bao Lin who does not understand the rules!”

The words “never argue with” were spoken through her teeth reluctantly.

Therefore, an hour later, Bao Lin Yun, who poured soup to the Consort who was recognized as the worst in the Imperial Harem, and made Consort Yue naked in public on her first day in the palace, was already refreshing and contented on the soft cushion of Xi Xing Building. Seeing Nian Xuan hastily bringing ginger soup, she said in disgust, “You still don’t know the ability of your Miss? Just a while in the lotus pond. Not a big deal! Take it away!”
