Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 784 The emperor is cheating (22)

"Miss!"

A palace maid heard the movement in the dormitory and walked in quickly.

She opened the curtain and saw Concubine Yu with complicated eyes.

This palace maid is Concubine Yu's personal maid and has grown up with her.

When entering the palace, Concubine Yu brought her with her.

Looking at the entire Baiji Palace, she is the one Concubine Yu trusts the most——

"coral?!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Concubine Yu turned her head subconsciously, and her pupils contracted violently again.

This is, coral?
Isn't she already dead?
In order to save her and prove her innocence, Coral crashed to death in the emperor's Manna Palace.

Concubine Yu will never forget that when Hualu died, her forehead was dented and her beautiful face was covered with blood.

"Blame me! Blame me!"

"I was too stupid. I mistook the werewolf for my beloved. I was obviously framed. Min Jiulang is so smart, there is no way he could see through it."

"But he, but he still allowed those people to slander me, which forced Coral to—"

"Coral! I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you!"

Concubine Yu fell into inexplicable grief, anger and self-blame in public.

Although she had woken up from the "nightmare", she was still in a daze.

She didn't even distinguish between "dreams" and reality.

Looking at Hualu's still beautiful and intact face, Concubine Yu felt complicated and excited in her heart——

Great, the coral is still alive!

That was a dream!

The dream was too ridiculous. How could Kuro treat me like that?
There is also the Yu family, a majestic general's palace, with a hundred thousand Yu family troops under their command, how can they overthrow just because they say it will overturn.

"Me too, I actually thought a dream was real."

"As I experienced in the dream, I disdain to be jealous of the women in the harem, but the Yu family is not a vegetarian!"

"As long as the Yu family is here, no one dares to bully me. Not even Min Huang!"

Concubine Yu tried her best to calm her chaotic mood.

She refuses to believe what happened "in the dream."

Although, that dream was so real, as if it really happened.

And she has really experienced the tragedy of being framed, losing confidants, loved ones, and so on.

"...No! I can't stop thinking!"

Concubine Yu covered her chest, a look of pain appeared on her bright and aggressive face.

There was no way, that "dream" was too real, so real that even if she woke up from the dream, countless pictures would flash clearly in Concubine Yu's mind.

"Is this really a dream? Why do I remember it so clearly?"

Although Concubine Yu tried her best to persuade herself, she still could not give up easily to the influence of nightmares.

"By the way, if the 'dream' is true or false, you can verify it!"

A glimmer of clarity finally flashed through Concubine Yu's chaotic mind.

"Coral, what year and day is today?"

Although Coral was a little confused, she still answered obediently: "Mother, today is the third year of Tianshou, the first day of April!"

Three years of divine instruction?

This is the third year that Min Huang ascended the throne.

In the "dream", Concubine Yu only lived until the fifth year of Tianshou.

In other words, if the dream is true, wouldn't it be only two years before the tragedy was born?

Do not!
wrong!

To be precise, there were already signs of the downfall of Concubine Yu and the subversion of the Yu family.

such as--

Concubine Yu's brain was working rapidly, trying to recall the details of her dream.

Three years of divine instruction?

What happened in the three years of Tianshou?
Wait, April?
The eighth day of April is the Buddha's birthday, which falls in the third year of heaven. Something seems to have happened in the palace.

It's just that Concubine Yu is too proud. Not only is she too lazy to quarrel with the concubines, she even doesn't bother to ask about some things in the palace.

She is like a proud white swan, admiring herself and taking photos of herself.

As long as no one provokes her, Concubine Yu will never take the initiative.

This would save trouble and would not make her look hateful because of the fight, but it would also make Concubine Yu look like a blind and deaf person.

She knew nothing about the harem except Baiji Palace.

"No! That's not right! Even Baiji Palace, I don't have complete control over!"

Although Concubine Yu was extremely repelled by that dream, she still subconsciously thought of a certain scene in the dream.

Among the many "tragedies" was the scene where Concubine Yu was framed by her new bride's palace servants.

"Alas, it seems that I am quite a failure."

"I thought I was a solitary and self-admiring person with character, but in the end, I was fooled like a fool."

"I'm stupid, so I'll die anyway, and I'll even endanger my loved ones——"

Concubine Yu once again fell into deep self-blame.

"Empress? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Coral saw that her master was in a bad mood.

You know, her mother-in-law has been confident, bright, flamboyant, and proud since she was a child.

The only setback in life is probably not being able to be a queen.However, it's good not to be a queen. You don't have to fight with the Queen Mother like Queen Gu, and you don't have to work hard to manage palace affairs.

Queen Gu's dedication and hard work were seen by the entire harem.

Coral was even more fortunate: Fortunately, my wife is not a queen, but a concubine!

As long as the imperial concubine is beautiful, she can continue to be willful.

As for the queen, she has to take into account the rules and pay attention to propriety.

She puts on airs every day and doesn't smile. She looks just like the clay and stone sculptures in the temple, far less flesh and blood than their mother-in-law.

Also, even though Queen Gu worked so hard, she didn't get much favor from His Majesty.

Looking at the entire harem, His Majesty's favorite woman is Concubine Yu.

For more than half of the month, His Majesty will come to accompany these bright and thorny roses.

Only on the 15th day of the Lunar New Year or on some important days, His Majesty would go back to the Queen's Anyi Palace.

Alas, in the harem, women relied on the emperor's favor.

My mother-in-law not only has the status of a noble concubine, but also has the favor of His Majesty. She is the No. 1 in the harem.

In the harem, even Empress Gu often had to retreat from the imperial concubine's sharp edges.

This is the real beloved concubine. It is estimated that it will be written down in the history books, and it will also be the "love" that future generations will envy.

Gu Qingcheng: ...As expected, like a master, there must be a servant.

Concubine?

Still love?
Yes, I probably have to say "a preference recognized by history".

But is this really the case?
As an ancient aboriginal who is familiar with history and has "experienced it" himself, Gu Qingcheng wants to say -

If the emperor really loves a woman, he should be like His Majesty Li Er and Emperor Hongwu, making that woman a queen and sharing the honor with him.

Make the son born of that woman the heir to the dynasty. If one of them fails, then make another one.

But no matter how he chooses, he must let himself and the queen's blood sit on the throne.

Instead of letting that woman be a concubine!
What is a concubine? It is a concubine.

Even if she is a royal concubine, she seems to be more noble, but in front of the queen, the concubine must kneel down and salute.

Moreover, the queen can exercise certain rights on behalf of the emperor. At critical moments, the queen, as the royal matron, can decide the next successor.

Concubine, no matter how favored you are, it won’t work!
This is just like some scumbag men in ancient times who talked about love and love, but encouraged women to elope with him.

To truly love, you need to give her enough respect and marry her according to the rules.

In ancient times, wives and concubines were always as far apart as heaven and earth.

Etiquette seems to imprison everyone, but it can also protect some people.

Can you live as much as you want without being burdened?

Yes, on the surface, it seems that the imperial concubine is indeed living a more comfortable life than the queen. She does not have to hold on or endure it, and she can also enjoy the favor of men.

But in fact, effort and reward are directly proportional.

If Concubine Yu was really given the opportunity to become queen, would she refuse?
it is good!
She has a true temperament and values ​​a man's heart more, and may not care about these false reputations.

However, men's hearts change too easily, but these etiquette and rules are more reliable.

One day, the favor is no longer there, but the status is still there.

The queen is always his wife. As long as he does not commit suicide, it is not easy for the emperor to abolish her for no reason.

As for the noble concubine, if she has favor, she is a beloved concubine.

If she falls out of favor, she is no better than a palace maid.

Gu Qingcheng never believed that a man who asked a woman to be his concubine really loved her.

Well, my favorite concubine!
The emphasis is on the word "pet", just like cats and dogs, they are nothing more than a pastime to pass the time.

Only the queen, whether she loves her or not, must give her a certain amount of respect.

Gu Qingcheng was too clear-minded to believe that there was such a thing as love in the palace.

Concubine Yu and her eldest maid do not have her sense.

"I-I'm fine!"

Hearing Coral's concerned inquiry, Concubine Yu came to her senses and shook her head gently.

The nightmare was so weird and so real that it frightened her. For a moment, she couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality.

I wanted to find something to verify, but it turned out that because of her arrogant personality, she didn't even have any definite "information".

She knew something happened on April [-]th, but she didn't know what it was.

Do not!
wrong!

There's something, I know!
Concubine Yu casually responded to the coral, and an idea flashed in her mind, and she thought of——

"April? The first day of April?"

"By the way, at the big meeting on the first day of the new year, I, my second uncle, he, he -"

The second uncle, Yu Heng, was my father’s right-hand man and an elder whom Concubine Yu was very close to and respected.

Originally, my second uncle had been leading troops in Liaodong. During his three years in Tianshu, he had a battle with barbarians and suffered some injuries.

In fact, it is not unusual for a military general to be injured.

But Min Huang dotes on Concubine Yu, loves his house and crows, and is particularly fond of the Yu family.

Min Huang ordered Yu Heng to return to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries and to get promoted.

As a chief officer in the Ministry of War, if there is another war in Liaodong in three to five years, he will still be able to lead the troops to fight.

...At least, that's what Min Huang said to Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yu also believed these words.

But in the dream, the "truth" is cruel and bloody——

Min Huang is not in love with Wujiwu at all. He teased Yu Heng to return to the capital, but he already had murderous intentions towards the Yu family!
Yu Heng is just the beginning, next——

"Coral! Hurry! Go find someone to inquire about those silver cakes. I want to know what happened at the court meeting today!"
