Chapter 492: Story of Yanxi Palace Er Qing 25

However, just as his lips were about to touch Erqing's skin, she turned her head away and avoided his kiss.

"Qing'er?" Qianlong was a little surprised. He thought that his words just now had dispelled Erqing's concerns. Could it be that she was still brooding over Fu Heng's matter?

Er Qing's tears flowed even more violently. She choked and said, "Your Majesty, I... I am very confused now. Can you let me be alone and calm down?"

Seeing her like this, Qianlong felt even more distressed. He suppressed his desire and said softly, "Okay, you have a good rest, I won't disturb you."

After saying that, he stood up and left. Looking at Qianlong's departing back, Er Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of pride. She just wanted to whet Qianlong's appetite, making him feel like a little bird longing for love, needing his careful care. Only in this way could she firmly control him.

Qianlong picked up the imperial brush with great joy, splashed ink on a blank piece of rice paper, and wrote an imperial edict in a flamboyant manner.

He solemnly stamped the jade seal and said to Li Yu beside him: "Pass on my decree, Xiaoyu harem, from now on, confer the title of Yuepin as noble concubine and grant her the title of Li."

Li Yu took the imperial edict and bowed, saying, "I obey your order."

He was secretly surprised in his heart that Concubine Yue was so resourceful that she was able to make the emperor so infatuated with her in just a few days. Even the title she was given revealed a sense of favor.

The word "Li" has a beautiful connotation, and also means lovebirds flying together. In the harem, the emperor has now given this honor to Concubine Yue, which shows that her position in the emperor's heart is no longer the same as before.

After Li Yu left, Qianlong paced back and forth in the Yangxin Palace alone, feeling both excited and nervous. Er Qing's tears and her reluctance to accept were like a fire that completely ignited the desire that had been suppressed in his heart for many years.

"Qing'er, what exactly do you want?" Qianlong murmured to himself. He always felt that Er Qing was like a fog, which was hard to see and understand.

At the same time, in Yongshou Palace, Er Qing was looking at herself in the mirror. The person in the mirror had skin as white as cream, eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as paintings, and a faint, ambiguous smile at the corner of her mouth.

"In this harem, no one can defeat me, Erqing!" She stroked her cheek gently, with an ambitious light in her eyes.

Li Yu held the imperial edict in his hand and trotted back to Yongshou Palace.

"Your Majesty, great joy! Great joy!" Li Yu's sharp voice rang out in Yongshou Palace, accompanied by a flattering smile on his face, which made people feel dazzling.

Er Qing stood up in surprise, her beautiful eyes rolling around in her eye sockets, as if she couldn't believe her ears: "Eunuch Li, where did you get this from?"

Li Yu unfolded the imperial edict, cleared his throat, and read aloud: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Concubine Yue is gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and sensible, and deeply loved by me. I hereby promote her to the rank of Imperial Concubine and grant her the title of 'Li'. I decree this—"

The news spread throughout the harem like wings.

The first to receive the news were the aunts in charge of each palace. They had been taking a nap in the afternoon sun, but were so startled by the sudden news that they lost all their sleepiness.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, as if they had heard something incredible.

"Royal Concubine? Concubine Yue was actually given the title of Royal Concubine?!"

"Oh my God! This is the first time the emperor has made an exception and promoted someone since he ascended the throne!"

"Isn't it? The word 'Li' has a profound meaning. It seems that the emperor has really fallen in love with this Concubine Yue!"

These well-informed aunts gathered together and chattered, their words full of envy and jealousy.

After all, who in the harem doesn't want to be the apple of the emperor's eye? But this great honor fell on the little-known Concubine Yue.

In Chuxiu Palace, the quiet afternoon was broken by the sharp sound of porcelain breaking. In a rage, Concubine Gao threw the teacup in her hand to the ground. The fine blue and white porcelain instantly turned into pieces, and the tea splashed everywhere, just like her mood at the moment, which was turbulent and could not be calmed down.

"How ridiculous! How ridiculous!" Concubine Gao's chest rose and fell violently. She pointed at the trembling palace maid kneeling on the ground and cursed, "What a bunch of rubbish! Such a big thing, and you're not reporting it until now!"

The little palace maid was so frightened that she buried her head deeply in the ground, not daring to even breathe. She could only explain intermittently: "Your Majesty, please calm down... This servant... This servant also just... just got the news..."

"That's enough!" Concubine Gao was so angry that she felt dizzy and almost lost her balance. She held onto the carved mahogany table beside her and managed to keep herself steady.

"Concubine Yue... no, now you should call her Concubine Li..." Concubine Gao said gritting her teeth, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

"I really underestimated her! I didn't expect that she had such a trick. In just a few days, she has already bewitched the emperor..."

The more Concubine Gao thought about it, the angrier she became. It was as if there was a fire burning in her heart, burning her internal organs so much that they seemed to be about to explode.

She had been planning carefully for so long, and originally thought that she could take this opportunity to banish Concubine Yue to the cold palace and keep her from ever rising again. However, she did not expect that in the end, she would not gain anything but end up losing more. Instead, Concubine Yue rose to prominence and became a noble concubine, with a higher status than her own!

"My lady..."

Upon seeing this, the personal maid hurried forward and gently stroked Concubine Gao's back, whispering to her, "Your Majesty, please calm down! You are a precious girl, please don't get yourself hurt by anger..."

"Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down?!"

Concubine Gao shook her hand off and said angrily, "Now in the harem, everyone is talking about how gentle and virtuous Concubine Yue is, and how well-educated and well-mannered she is. But who knows what kind of vicious heart is hidden under her harmless face!"

Concubine Gao became more and more excited as she spoke. Er Qing's seemingly weak and innocent face kept appearing in her mind, as well as the shrewd and calculating light that occasionally flashed in her eyes.

She knew in her heart that Er Qing was by no means as simple as she appeared. This woman was extremely cunning and scheming. Now that she had won the emperor's favor, who knew what kind of bloody storm she would stir up in the harem in the future!

Concubine Gao's chest heaved violently, and the peony flower embroidered with gold thread seemed to tremble in anger.

She grabbed the arm of the maid next to her, her sharp nails almost digging into the flesh, and her voice was as sharp as a knife: "Go! Call that bitch Jiapin to me! Tell her that I have something important to discuss with you!"

The little palace maid was frightened pale by Concubine Gao's sudden action. She responded tremblingly and hurried out the door.
