Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 42

In the "Green Willow Garden", there are willow trees in shade.But now it is autumn, and the willow leaves are also slightly yellow, so the willow trees in patches add to the sense of bleakness here.

By the lakeside, a beautiful woman in a green shirt stands under a willow tree, staring blankly at the reflection of the waning moon in the lake.The human face, wicker, and lake water complement each other, but this picture is indescribably beautiful.

Xue Yuliu clearly remembered that today was the [-]th day of her marriage into the Yue Palace, and also the [-]th night of her staying alone in the vacant house.

Looking at her blurred reflection in the water, she recalled the first time she saw Chu Yue.

Three years ago was Xue Yuliu's happiest time. At that time, she became the number one oiran in the capital by virtue of her outstanding beauty and dancing skills.At that time, all the men in the capital were overwhelmed by her beauty, and many even spent a lot of money just to kiss her.But she was unmoved. In her eyes, these stinky men were just tools for her to make money. How could they deserve her.So no matter how intimidating and tempting the old bustard is, she insists on performing arts instead of selling herself.

Originally, she planned to retire after earning enough money to live comfortably for the rest of her life, but she never thought that her persistence and pride would be wiped out the first time she saw that person.

That night, before she went on stage to perform, the madam specially came to remind her that several distinguished guests came down from the stage, and asked her to perform well.So she chose her best "Wide Sleeves Dance", the neon clothes and wide sleeves looked like a fairy, and after the dance, everyone in the room fell in love with her, except for one person.

Xue Yuliu noticed him from the first sight, not because of his extraordinary handsome appearance, because the two men standing beside him at that time were also handsome and handsome.

What really attracted Xue Yuliu was his eyes.His eyes were so indifferent that he didn't even look at her dance from beginning to end.Xue Yuliu has been very confident about her beauty since she was a child, but this is the first time she feels inferior in front of this man, and even wonders if she can't catch his eyes.

She is such a proud oiran, how could she be willing to be ignored.So for the first time, instead of leaving in a hurry after the performance, she took out her personal handkerchief.It is suggested that the men in the audience have a martial arts competition, and the winner can get her Jinpa, and can talk to her at night by candlelight.Sure enough, everyone present was eager to try, but he remained calm and unmoved.

Xue Yuliu thought that he would disdain to participate, but he didn't expect that after the young master in yellow brocade clothes who came with him won many battles, he would also come up to the stage to challenge.Xue Yuliu pretended to be proud and did not look at him, but in her heart she longed for him to win the competition.

But...he lost, very badly.He was severely beaten by the young man in yellow and lay on the ground, unable to get up.But his eyes are extremely stubborn, which makes people feel distressed.

He lost the game that night, but won her heart.

During the candlelit night conversation that night, Xue Yuliu kept flirting with the young man in yellow, trying to find out their identities.Later, after being drunk by her, the son blurted out that they were all members of the royal family, and he——it turned out to be the King of Yue who became the "King of War" at a young age.And the young man in yellow who talked with him at night while holding candles turned out to be the current emperor.

How could the King of Yue, who was so fearsome on the battlefield, be so pussy, so after knowing their identities, Xue Yuliu was even more sure that he lost on purpose that night.Thinking of that stubborn look in his eyes, his heart hurts for a while.

Chunfenglou is the best brothel in the capital, many nobles, princesses and relatives of the emperor will come here to have fun and talk about things, so Xue Yuliu is sure that Chuyue will definitely go again.From then on, she had to carefully dress up for an hour every day, because she hoped that when Chu Yue came back, she could see her most beautiful.

But later, although Chu Yue went there many times, but still his eyes never stayed on her, but she herself fell down again and again...

She is not reconciled, she must make Chu Yue fall in love with her.So later she wanted to find a chance to enter Yue Palace, she thought that as long as she could stay by Chu Yue's side for a long time, she would be able to impress him with her beauty.

Finally, she seized that...opportunity to make Chu Yue owe her, and through this, she also successfully married into the Yue Palace.

But she never thought that Chu Yue's heart was harder than a rock.Even if I try my best for him, I can't make him feel moved towards me in the slightest.Even since she entered the palace, Chu Yue never took the initiative to look for her...

At the end of the memory, Xue Yuliu sighed slightly, did he despise himself as a broken flower?But that time she did it for him...

Behind her, Pu Tao approached gently, she felt a little distressed when she saw her master's thin back.He opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Xue Yuliu heard her approaching footsteps and asked, "Is your lord asleep?"

"Not yet, the people guarding outside Nanlin Garden today said that the prince has not seen him come out since he entered at noon?" Pu Tao replied skillfully.Ever since they followed Xue Yuliu into the palace, it became their daily task to find out when the prince would go to bed.

"Oh." Xue Yuliu replied flatly.He hasn't slept yet, so she will wait.Since entering the palace, she would not fall asleep until she heard the news that Chu Yue had fallen asleep every night.Because as long as Chu Yue didn't sleep, there was hope that he would come to her.

Looking up at Xue Yuliu, Pu Tao secretly sighed in her heart, it seems that Madam will wait until midnight again tonight.But if the prince wanted to come, he would have come already, why is the madam not giving up?Pu Tao thought about it in her heart, it seems that it is necessary to tell Madam about that matter.

"Ma'am, that... I heard something from Haitang today." Pu Tao said hesitantly.

"If it has nothing to do with the prince, don't talk about it." Xue Yuliu said lightly.All she cared about was matters related to Chu Yue.

"I heard... Last night, the ugly girl in Wutong Garden got drunk and slept in the Wang Ye's Guan Xing Pavilion."

Hearing this, Xue Yuliu turned her head in surprise, and hurriedly asked: "Then will the prince punish her severely today?"

Pu Tao worriedly forgot to take a look at Xue Yuliu, and then said: "It's just this place that makes people feel strange, not only did the prince not punish her, he also asked Haitang to guard and take care of her, and even ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch for her."

Hearing this, Xue Yuliu's eyes dimmed, she shook her head and said to herself, "How could this be?"

"Besides, Haitang also said..." Pu Tao secretly looked at Xue Yuliu's face, a little afraid to continue.

But Xue Yuliu was a little anxious, she stepped forward and grabbed Pu Tao's arm, and asked excitedly: "What are you talking about?"

"She said that she has been in the palace for so many years, and she has never seen the prince's love for any woman. She also said... Madam has not been favored by the prince for so long after entering the palace, maybe it is because of the prince's taste Special, like... ugly girls..."

"Nonsense!" Xue Yuliu interrupted her excitedly, showing an expression of disbelief.

But Pu Tao continued: "Ma'am, you have to think of a way, the prince has never let a woman serve him close to him, but he is different to that ugly girl. Since Madam entered the palace, the prince has never come to see you. This servant thinks that we can no longer sit still, that ugly girl is in front of the prince every day, it is inevitable that she will be... and she is also a princess after all, maybe the prince will soften his heart in the future and will really restore her status."

"You have been in the palace with me for so long, how have you ever seen the prince's heart soften?" Xue Yuliu said sadly.

"Since the prince won't soften his heart, is Madam still planning to wait like this?" Pu Tao said.She really couldn't stand it anymore, Miss was so beautiful when she was in Chunfenglou, but she seemed to be a different person after marrying into the palace.Every day I waited for the prince from sunrise to sunset, but all I got was disappointment.She really didn't want to see his wife continue to be so humble.

Hearing this, Xue Yuliu was slightly taken aback, yes, she can't wait any longer.Such waiting is not in exchange for love.She needs to cheer up and take action to capture Chu Yue's heart.

Immediately, Xue Yuliu gently pulled a strand of black hair on her chest, raised her chin slightly, smiled slightly, and said with soft teeth, "Okay. Dress up my wife tomorrow, and I'm going to see the prince."

At this moment, Xue Yuliu's smile was as beautiful as the scorching sun in spring, and immediately swept away the desolation in the courtyard.

"Yes." Pu Tao happily replied.She finally saw his wife in high spirits again.
