Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 241 Ruthless and Heartless Emperor × Pregnant Little Palace Maid 10

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has summoned you to accompany him. You may leave now."

Qingju and Xiaotao carried the prepared pastries and ginseng soup.

"Okay, let's go."

When Xiaowanzi saw Chu Yue approaching outside Qinghe Palace, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "This servant greets Consort Chu. His Majesty is waiting for Your Highness to arrive."

Even Xiaowanzi couldn't help but sigh, "Consort Chu is so lucky. How could he have found her by such a coincidence and then sent her to His Majesty, thus making her such a noble lady?"

"Alright, I'll go in first."

Chu Yue led Qingju and Xiaotao inside, and after they put the pastries away, they left.

"Qingju, come here." Maruko whispered.

Xiaotao consciously stepped back a bit. Little Maruko's feelings for Qingju are quite special; don't think she doesn't know that.

Maruko took out some rouge from her sleeve and handed it to Qingju: "This is the best rouge for you."

"It must have cost you a lot of money, here you go." Qingju accepted it.

"No need, no need. If you really want to give me something, just embroider a handkerchief for me."

Maruko chuckled.

"Okay, you wait." Qingju's embroidery skills are quite good.

Maruko's smile deepened as the others waited outside.

Hall

"come over."

The emperor looked at the woman who had been standing there motionless since she entered.

Chu Yue then slowly moved over: "Your Majesty..."

"You're stupid, standing there without coming over."

Chu Yue: "..."

"Your Majesty, this is where you handle state affairs; I dare not be disrespectful..."

Chu Yue said with some grievance.

The emperor paused, and Consort Chu, always so sensible and understanding, said, "I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

"Your Majesty, what do you need me to do? Grind ink?"

"No need, just stay with me." Consort Chu's slender fingers are not suited for rough work; it would be bad if she injured her hands.

The two talkative and troublesome people were sent away, and the emperor was less irritable, so he spent as much time as possible with Consort Chu.

"Your Majesty, would you like some pastries?"

"Need not."

Would you like to have some tea and rest for a while?

"Need not."

Chu Yue: "..."

What is she here for?

They spent every day together, including nights. Ever since she recovered, the emperor hadn't missed a single day; he was more diligent than an ox.

The hall fell silent. The emperor looked up at Chu Yue and saw her standing there somewhat at a loss. His heart ached.

"Come here." The emperor stopped what he was doing, put his arm around Chu Yue's waist, and placed her on his lap.

A beautiful woman adding fragrance to one's sleeves—that's how it should be.

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue wrapped her arms around his neck, looking at the emperor with her beautiful eyes full of affection.

The emperor looked back. He knew that Consort Chu was beautiful, but when he looked at her so intently, those eyes made him completely captivated.

He leaned in and gently pecked Chu Yue's lips: "My beloved concubine,"

He pulled her closer to him, thinking that Consort Chu must be a little enchantress who had snuck into his heart.

A voice came from Linglingyi's ear, "Yueyue, your favorability rating is 60. What did you do? Wow, that was fast."

"I didn't do anything, I'm not pregnant, all I did was sleep with him."

"Hehe, keep it up!"

"..."

Chu Yue leaned obediently into the emperor's arms, and the emperor stiffened. She really was a little vixen, always seducing him.

He wanted to subdue the little demon, so the emperor picked up Chu Yue and walked into the inner room.

Chu Yue asked, puzzled, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"My beloved concubine is so alluring, I cannot resist."

Chu Yue: "..."

What did she do?

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue stopped the hand that was about to unbutton her clothes: "It's not allowed during the day."

"With me here, what is there to fear? Obey me." The emperor was determined to do as he pleased.

Chu Yue was getting anxious. If word got out, people would start gossiping about her again.

"Your Majesty...no..." Chu Yue was on the verge of tears: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor was most afraid of Chu Yue's tears, so he quickly stopped crying: "What's wrong? Why are you crying again?"

"Your Majesty...people will scold me." Chu Yue nestled into his arms, feeling aggrieved.

The emperor's eyes darkened as he realized that Consort Chu was already in the eye of the storm, so it was no wonder she was being so cautious.

"Alright, I won't do anything, don't be afraid." The emperor straightened her dress. "I'll take you for a stroll in the Imperial Garden."

“Okay…” Chu Yue nodded obediently, “Your Majesty… don’t be angry.”

The emperor chuckled: "No."

The emperor took Chu Yue to the imperial garden.

"Look, His Majesty has brought Consort Chu to the Imperial Garden again,"

"That's right, His Majesty brings Consort Chu here every few days."

"Consort Chu is truly blessed. She's the only consort in the harem, and His Majesty dotes on her so much."

"Consort Chu was originally a palace maid. I wonder if I will have such good luck."

"Stop talking, or you'll get punished."

The palace maids who were secretly gossiping dared not speak loudly, and could only wait until the emperor and empress had gone some distance before they dared to discuss it privately.

The emperor sat with Chu Yue in a pavilion in the imperial garden, where a gentle breeze blew and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

"My beloved concubine, is it beautiful?" The emperor took Chu Yue's hand and gently stroked it.

Chu Yue smiled gently, "Beautiful..."

"What kind of flower does my beloved concubine like?"

"peony……"

"Someone, go and pick some peonies for Consort Chu."

Immediately, palace servants went to pick the flowers.

The emperor and empress were deeply in love, but there were always people who would disturb them.

"Your Majesty... General Zhao has arrived, saying he has urgent business to discuss with Your Majesty."

Even Maruko didn't want to say, "What are we doing here at a time like this?"

The emperor frowned; why was he everywhere?

"Your Majesty, perhaps I should return first," Chu Yue said, noticing the emperor's unpleasant expression.

"It's alright, stay here with me." He then looked at Xiaowanzi: "Summon her."

General Zhao, looking haggard, approached the emperor: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects; and I pay my respects to Consort Chu..."

"General Zhao, what brings you here?" the emperor asked in a displeased tone.

"Your Majesty..." General Zhao paused, "Your Majesty, I am not suited to the duties of a civil official. Please, Your Majesty, show leniency."

General Zhao had reached his limit. How could he possibly understand the dense text? It was far more satisfying to fight with swords.

To make things difficult for them, His Majesty actually switched his and the Prime Minister's jobs.

He went to Qinghe Hall, but His Majesty wasn't there, so he came here. Anyway, he couldn't continue doing this job.

"General Zhao is eloquent and persuasive; I believe you are capable of handling this task."

The emperor's nonchalant tone sent a chill down one's spine.

General Zhao stood frozen in place, never expecting that Consort Chu was so capable, captivating His Majesty to the point that he only had eyes for her.

General Zhao couldn't help but think that Chu Yue was a vixen who brought disaster to the country and its people.

Chu Yue hid behind the emperor; General Zhao's eyes were terrifying.

The emperor saw this commotion and was nearly enraged. What was he staring at Consort Chu for?

"General Zhao, if there's nothing else, you may step back." The emperor shielded Chu Yue, using his body to block her.

Is he getting old and bored? The emperor is already thinking of sending General Zhao even further away.

"Your subject takes his leave..." General Zhao turned and left with a dark face.

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue called out, feeling wronged.

The emperor felt a pang of heartache: "Alright, alright. It's alright, I'll take you back, don't be afraid."

"Mmm..." Chu Yue clung to him dependently, and the emperor carried her directly onto the dragon carriage, holding her in his arms to comfort her.

"I will punish him," the emperor said, remembering that General Zhao's daughter had also bullied Consort Chu.

They really are family.

"it is good……"
