Chapter 147.1 - Beauty Qiao Mei
Second sponsored chapter tonight thanks to Dillycat ๐๐ (2/2)
*
Sheโs just a stepping stone for imperial consort Ruan. Without her, imperial consort Ruan can still find other people. Xiahou Qingโs stuck a lot of people in the palace over these few years, more than you can even imagine.โ
โBut master, what are we going to do now?โ We werenโt just going to let the old emperor take master in as a consort, right?
โItโs not that there isnโt a way.โ Lou Qingwu languidly stood up and walked over to the window.
She used a golden hairpin to poke at the candle flame as the candle flame leapt up, โThe emperor might not like my appearance. The types that he likes are like consort Ying, that next door neighbour type of pitiful beauty. But if consort Yingโs so desperate to play matchmaker for the old emperor, how could we disappoint her?โ
โMaster, what are we going to do then?โ Thousand Faceโs face instantly lit up.
โTell Qiao Mei that sheโs been waiting for a while, so she can โฆ start to move.โ Lou Qingwuโs lips curled up as she looked up at the darkened sky.
She mumbled, โThe skyโs changing.โ
โEn?โ Thousand Face froze.
Qiao Mei?
His mind flashed to that girl with a ruined face all those years ago.
Now, sheโd changed her face to something that even he didnโt recognise. He could slightly remember that young girlโs face before thinking for a bit, his heart suddenly stopping, did master really want to โฆ.
Once he thought it through, Thousand Face nodded, โYes, this subordinate will notify Qiao Mei.โ
The sky darkened as the dim stars shone.
In the room of a small palace maidservant, inside Liuhua Palace, a messenger pigeon flapped its wings against a window.
A hand stretched outwards and grabbed it.
The girlโs hand was white and delicate, like jade, without any imperfections.
As your eye moved upwards, you would see a downward facing small face, eyes that looked timid because they were forever looking down.
But as she looked up, her watery eyes were cold, her aura instantly becoming much more noble and dignified, not the least timid.
She slowly tugged at the letter tied to the pigeonโs leg and opened it.
As her eyes fell on the word โmoveโ, her mouth slowly turned into a smile.
But that smile was too vicious and bleak, making her white lily-like face fierce.
She slowly let go, before unable to help but walk towards the vanity.
She touched her face that was slightly familiar yet unfamiliar as she laughed, in a creaking voice that sounded ghost like.
She stared at the face in the mirror before slowly reaching towards the mirror.
Finally โฆ she was about to move.
The next day, at dawn.
The first rays of the sun spread out to the outside of Liuhua palace, lightly covering everything it touched in gold.
The emperorโs personal eunuchs and maidservants waited on him as they helped him prepare to wear his dragon robes to go to the early morning court.
As he waited for them to prepare, he turned around to look at the reclining consort Ying, walking over to rub her tender and soft face, โYingโerโs going to sleep for a bit?โ
โYour concubine will wait for the emperor.โ
The emperor laughed, โOkay, when this emperor finishes court, Iโll come and eat breakfast with you.โ
โEn.โ Consort Yingโs face had a bashful smile ass he slightly leaned into the emperorโs embrace as the two people began to grow intimate with each other, as if no one else was there.
When it was nearly time, the emperorโs face coldened as he stepped out of the palace.
But just as he turned a corner, he hadnโt even left Liuhua palace before a small little figure accidentally bumped into him.
The emperor reflexively stepped back, his dragon eyes dangerously narrowing.
The palace maidservant was frightened, quickly peeking at the emperor before instantly dropping to her knees, so scared that she was trembling.
She keep bowing to the ground with her head, non stop, โEmperor, please spare me! Emperor, please spare me! This servant didnโt do it on purpose, emperor, please spare me!โ
The emperorโs personal eunuch, Eunuch Li, took a look at the palace maidservant, his eyes vicious.
He waved to a eunuch by his side before the eunuch was about to drag her away.
It was at this time, that the emperor, who was frozen from accidentally looking at the maidservantโs face, finally reacted.
โWait.โ
โEmperor?โ Eunuch Li bent down, โDoes the emperor have any other orders?โ
The emperor didnโt reply to him, he just looked dazedly at the palace maidservant who was kneeling in front of him.
His mind flashed back to the image of her shocked and frightened little face, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
โYou, lift up your head.โ
