It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 81 Beauty is unwilling to give up

When Sima Zhong was still the crown prince, Yuan Meiren served him around.

Because he keeps to himself and doesn't get jealous, his life has been smooth over the past few years, at least he hasn't had enough to eat or clothing to keep warm.

She did not have a prominent family background. Her father was a fourth-grade military officer and passed away early. There were no outstanding children or nephews in the family. For her, an unpopular beauty who had not given birth to a son and a half daughters for the emperor, she was so unfavorable. It was only symbolic that some people came to the palace every year to say hello. When they couldn't get any benefits, they gradually stopped coming and going.

The family background is weak, but that's all.

Later, when Jia Nanfeng took over the harem, life became even more difficult for the concubines.

Yuan Meiren does not expect to be favored or favored by the emperor. It would be a good thing if she could die in the palace safely.

She had been enduring it, but who would have thought that after ten years of being so powerful and powerful, Jia Nan would be sentenced to death.

Li Fei is younger than her, but she is also very good at making the emperor happy.

When Jia Nanfeng was arrested, Li Fei was the first to rush over and hug the emperor Sima Zhong who was hiding in the corner, whispering softly to calm his emotions.

Therefore, the emperor became very dependent on her.

Slowly, the emperor also began to frequently move around the residences of his concubines.

Within half a year, the emperor married a new queen.

The concubines were whispering again.

Everyone discovered that the new queen was still a little girl, pretty and not threatening.

More importantly, the emperor didn't seem to like her very much. He only went there a few times after the wedding, and they only had sex on the wedding day...

When the concubines in the harem saw this, their hearts began to get excited again.

For example, Beauty and Li Fei have a very good relationship and often move around each other.

She learned that Li Fei's father accidentally obtained a music score that could make listeners feel calm and sleep peacefully.

The emperor often couldn't sleep because of headaches, and his temper became increasingly irritable.

Reifei tried to stand outside the emperor's palace at night and played a short piece of shakuhachi music.

The emperor actually fell asleep peacefully and had no dreams all night.

After waking up, she naturally liked and relied on Concubine Li even more. In addition to various rewards of gold, silver and jewelry, she even promoted members of her family. The Dong family has become a powerful family, with more people in the court. His right to speak was also recognized by King Zhao.

Seeing the beauty who was close to her, she felt jealous.

Reifei's shakuhachi skills were not very good, but her skills improved greatly in a short period of time.

She once heard Concubine Li's playing, with soft tones and melody, which was actually better than the palace musicians.

This surprised Ru Meiren and made her curious.

One evening while strolling by Lake Yingliu, I found Reifei holding a shakuhachi and playing softly behind a willow tree.

Not loud, but enough to hear clearly.

The tone has improved a lot.

On the day when Concubine Li drowned, Rumei returned to her residence at midnight.

Because they lived together in Luyuan, Yuan Meiren heard the noise and went out to take a look.

I found her talking to a beautiful woman and was very panicked.It turned out that she had picked up the shakuhachi used by Reifei, and originally wanted to return it to Reifei's family, but Dong Yuanhe was crying in Reifei's palace, so she didn't have the courage to go forward, so she hurried back to her residence.

Later, when Emperor Sima Zhong's six-yang chariot arrived at Ru Meiren's door, she tried to play a simple tune on Reifei's shakuhachi, and unexpectedly received the emperor's praise and a hundred taels of gold.

Therefore, she wanted to practice her skills even more so that the emperor could stay by her side longer.

Concubine Li was playing by the Yingliu Lake, and she went too.

But somehow, not long after, she too drowned.

Later, Yuan Meiren discovered that Yanmei Ren had also gone to the shore of Yingliu Lake in the middle of the night and was also quietly playing the shakuhachi.

She was very scared because both Li Fei and Ru Meiren drowned, and during the day she told Yan Meiren not to do these things.

The beautiful woman disagreed very much, "You are too honest, so you should just die in the palace. I don't want to go on like this anymore. Think about it, at our age, we are still just beauties, haha, beauties She has already become an old woman."

"What else can I do? The emperor only likes young and beautiful women. I think it would be great to die in the palace."

"That one can't enter the imperial mausoleum and enjoy the tributes." The beautiful woman was only one year younger than her, and both of them served the then crown prince Sima Zhong.

After knowing each other for so long, she suddenly found that the beautiful woman had become very strange.

"Concubine Li and Rumei died inexplicably. How could they both drown in Yingliu Lake by such a coincidence?"

"So what?" The beautiful woman suddenly took out a black shakuhachi, "Look what this is?"

"Reifei's Shakuhachi?" Yuan Meiren was extremely surprised, "Isn't it in Rumei's hands? How come you have it? Was it you who pushed Rumei into Yingliu Lake?"

"Nonsense! Why should I kill her? What good will killing her do to me?" The beautiful woman was a little excited, "You and I have known each other for more than 20 years. Even if we don't have friendship with each other, we are still neighbors who live together. Qing, why should I kill her?"

"I made a mistake. Don't be angry." Yuan Meiren quickly admitted that she had made a mistake. "I believed you, but I was just afraid that you would be in danger."

"Wealth is sought in danger. Huh, what else can we do?" The beautiful woman knocked on the black shakuhachi, "The beautiful woman walked into Yingliu Lake step by step, and no one pushed her. I only saw that she was just After a few struggles, it disappeared. The shakuhachi was left by the lake, so naturally I picked it up first."

"...Didn't anyone see you?"

"It's all in the dark, who can see it? I came back in the dark, it really scared me to death." The beautiful woman suddenly laughed "hehe", and her expression became a little ferocious, "I have endured it for half my life, this time, It’s my turn to take over.”

Yuan Meiren did not dare to say anything more, but silently returned to her residence, closed the door and continued to chant sutras.

There was a curfew in the palace, and she was too lazy to go out, so she asked her maid to get necessary daily necessities.

But one day the little maid ran back in a panic and said, "Master, the Emperor is coming this way."

"What?" Yuan Meiren was very surprised. After Ru Meiren died, the emperor never came.

Of course, even if the emperor came to Luyuan, he would not come to her.

But she could still quietly go out and watch this man, a man whom she used to be very considerate of.

Emperor Sima Zhong went to the beautiful woman's courtyard and soon heard her laughter.

Even though she felt sad, she endured it.

However, within two days, the beautiful woman drowned in Yingliu Lake.

She was a little scared but didn't know what to do.The point is, who should I talk to about the past?

While she was thinking about it, she suddenly thought that she might have used the shakuhachi sound to provoke the emperor. She had heard the melody played by her, so she could play it to some extent.

Why not try it?
