Chapter 347 Gem Peach Blossom Anklet
Chapter 347 Gem Peach Blossom Anklet
In Baifu Pavilion, Concubine Jiang was surprised to see her niece in such a miserable state. She had never before remembered the Empress using such drastic measures against someone. The Empress was always kind and benevolent, rarely punishing the palace maids.
Concubine Jiang was in great pain. She couldn't explain to her brothers at home how her niece looked like.
The maidservant who followed from Baifu Pavilion said, "Empress Jiang, I am Pei'er, a maidservant from Qingliang Palace. The Empress asked me to pass on a message to you. The Empress said—you're welcome! I'll take my leave!"
Concubine Jiang: “…”
Imperial Concubine Jiang felt her headache worsen. She looked at her distraught and miserable niece and said, "Please report to the Empress. I beg for mercy and to keep my niece for two more days. You can't let her leave the palace in this state."
Pei'er bowed and said, "I dare not! I will definitely convey it!"
After Pei'er returned to Qingliang Palace to report, Lan Qingwu indeed gave Concubine Jiang this face and allowed Jiang Yuxian to stay in Baifu Pavilion for another two days.
Concubine Jiang hurriedly summoned the imperial physician to Baifu Pavilion to examine Jiang Yuxian.
After hearing this, Concubine Wan rushed to Baifu Pavilion. Concubine Jiang couldn't help but say angrily, "Are you so impatient to come and see me make a fool of myself?"
Concubine Wan didn't hide her smile at all: "Oh, you don't even allow me to laugh! If I were you, you're just one step behind the Empress. If I were you, I'd beat up your niece first. It's better than being slapped in the face by the Empress now. Even if you go home, what good marriage can you expect? Really!"
Imperial Concubine Jiang was silent for a few breaths before she said, "Just laugh! Anyway, the problem isn't your fault. You don't know my difficulties."
Concubine Wan waved her hand. "Alright, I'm not here to laugh at your joke. You're such a fool! Why didn't you take action earlier? What are you going to do now? I'm afraid the Empress is mad at you too, and your life will be miserable."
Imperial Concubine Jiang said, "Life is just like this, day by day. The Empress shouldn't be too angry with me, but it's hard to say whether the Empress is really angry this time."
Wan Fei sighed and said, "What is going on?"
At this time, Chan'er walked in with a pale face and knelt on the ground as soon as she came in: "Your Highness, please go and see the young lady! The young lady...she is not feeling well now!"
Concubine Jiang's face darkened.
Lan Qingwu returned to the Qingliang Palace, and the Emperor Shenwu also returned to his bedroom. Lan Qingwu was seen in front of a bronze mirror, removing her head jewelry. She took it off piece by piece, tossing it onto the dressing table. Her expression was far from pleasant.
Emperor Shenwu raised one of his sword-like eyebrows slightly, and walked forward with interest. Ruping took a few steps back. When Lan Qingwu looked at the bronze mirror again, Emperor Shenwu's sharp eyebrows and handsome face appeared in the mirror.
The Divine Martial Emperor observed Lan Qingwu's expression in the bronze mirror and said, "Shouldn't I be happy that I have displayed my divine power today?"
Lan Qingwu couldn't help but said angrily, "What are you happy about? Your Majesty is very happy, right?"
The Shenwu Emperor actually nodded. He put his hands on Lan Qingwu's shoulders and asked, "Why am I unhappy?"
Lan Qingwu turned around and looked up at the Shenwu Emperor, from the hair crown on his head to the dark gold boots on his feet, and finally, with her bare hands, she gently adjusted the jade pendant hanging on the Shenwu Emperor's waist. "Your Majesty's hair crown is really exquisite, both noble and majestic. Your Majesty's dragon robe is also very majestic. Your Majesty's emerald cloud pattern belt was tied by me, and the jade pendant on your Majesty's waist was designed by me personally. It's really good! I find that I have dressed Your Majesty too handsomely. So, I am really asking for trouble!"
Emperor Shenwu couldn't help laughing and said, "What should I do? Can you make me look uglier?"
Lan Qingwu was a little dejected. "Forget it. Your Majesty looks so majestic that he can never look ugly no matter how he dresses up! I'd better try harder so that Brother Heng can only see me!"
Emperor Shenwu couldn't help but burst into laughter. He picked up Lan Qingwu and walked to the bed to sit down, holding Lan Qingwu in his arms: "I haven't seen such a sharp-tongued and aggressive weakling in a long time!"
Lan Qingwu paused. "Yes!" In fact, her temperament had changed a lot since she entered the palace. After all, this was the Da Sheng harem. If she were to argue with others like she did when she was young, it would be too inappropriate. Moreover, she was already the queen, so most of the time she should show her good side to avoid being caught by others.
Lan Qingwu said softly, "Brother Heng, are you happy? Are you happy to see Ruo Ruo angry?"
Emperor Shenwu gently lifted Lan Qingwu's snow-white chin with his index finger: "Oh, are you really angry? I'm just happy that you're showing your true nature! I'm not angry anymore!"
Emperor Shenwu lowered his head and gently kissed Lan Qingwu's delicate lips.
Lan Qingwu finally felt a little calmer. She hugged the waist of the Emperor Shenwu and whispered softly, "Brother Heng, I don't dare to reveal my true nature. If I did, I wouldn't be able to be a qualified queen. I can't stand many things, such as the girl from the Jiang family this time. She intends for the aunt and niece of the Jiang family to enter the palace together to be your majesty's concubines. I just think she is snobbish and disgusting. And those sisters serving the master together, I really can't accept it! Brother Heng, do you think I am inappropriate and different? Do you think I have different ideas from other noble ladies?"
Emperor Shenwu grasped Lan Qingwu's slender waist with both hands and carefully studied her expression. "My silly Ruoruo, I am also utterly shocked and disgusted by what happened to the Jiang family's daughter! I will never do anything to make Ruoruo sad again! Are you feeling better now?"
Lan Qingwu's heart beat slightly, and she kissed the Emperor Shenwu back with emotion: "I am weak too, and I will never do anything to make Brother Heng sad!"
The Shenwu Emperor kissed Lan Qingwu back fiercely, leaving him breathless. The Shenwu Emperor felt that Lan Qingwu's fragrance gently touched his heartstrings. He was about to take it a step further when Lan Qingwu suddenly opened her misty eyes. The two of them broke the kiss, forehead to forehead, nose to nose, and they could hear each other's breathing. Lan Qingwu lowered his eyes: "Wei Ruo Ruo is not feeling well today. Brother Heng, can you just sleep with us?"
The Emperor raised his phoenix eyes and looked into Lan Qingwu's cunning eyes. This little woman was deliberately tormenting him! She was clearly still angry. The Emperor said nothing, but smiled lightly: "Okay! Today, I will listen to you."
Emperor Shenwu suddenly took something out of his sleeve, grabbed Lan Qingwu's slender white ankle and put it on her without saying a word.
Lan Qingwu looked at it in amazement. She took a closer look and found that it was a silver anklet with a peach petal-shaped chain, hung with various gems and seven bells. Lan Qingwu moved her feet, but could not hear any bell sound.
