Chapter 126 I Want to Enter the Palace So Much
Not only that, that guy... was also eyeing Nie Shuangshuang.
Same person but different fate. Concubine Mei can come and go freely and no one cares about her. Liao Wei even clamors that she also wants to deal with the affairs of the people in the city to gain favor in front of Song Chuji.
Concubine Mei rolled her eyes almost to the sky, and pursed her lips in silence, "Liao Wei, you will never be able to enter the palace in this lifetime, so just give up on this idea!"
She could tell at a glance that Chu Ji was deeply in love with Shuangshuang and would not tolerate anyone else, not including the women who were stuffed in. He would not bring anyone into the palace on his own.
Xiang Changzai had already made an exception, and it was also for Fanyin's sake.
But Liao Wei was always unwilling in her heart. Although she was not as beautiful as Nie Shuangshuang, she was considerate. Don’t men like her like this?
Concubine Mei was also afraid that she would be too embarrassed to face people after being rejected, so she made a fuss again, which angered Song Chuji and he killed her with a sword.
This situation is also very likely. She originally left Ganye Temple to visit her former home, but she didn't expect that this girl would fall in love for the first time.
"My Lady Dowager, why don't you let me give it a try? Your Majesty must be lonely on this journey, and it will be much better with my company."
She was just greedy for fame and fortune and wanted to enter the palace to enjoy wealth and glory, and did not want to go back to Ganye Temple to chant scriptures and pray for blessings every day.
Concubine Mei took a deep breath and the fragrant and delicious chestnut cake in front of her no longer smelled good. She didn't understand why the imperial palace, where countless people had died, was so attractive to her?
"Your Majesty has the Queen with him, why are you joining in the fun?"
If she really wanted to do something, Concubine Mei would never act like a villain and stop her, but if something happened and Song Chuji wanted to kill her, she couldn't stop him.
"Empress Dowager..."
"enough!"
Concubine Mei interrupted her chattering with a cold face, "Last time you deliberately fell in front of His Majesty, you were already trying to seduce me. The Queen didn't bother with you because she was giving me face. She was afraid that I, a monk with a pure mind, would be dragged down by you in my later years!"
Do you really think Nie Shuangshuang doesn't know about her little thoughts?
They are not at the same level at all, so people don't regard her as a competitor. She is just fantasizing!
Seeing her cold expression, Liao Wei shut her mouth and ran out unconvinced.
Why does she have to stay in a place like Ganye Temple which is full of nuns? She can only see a bunch of women who have shaved their heads to become nuns, but not a single man.
Although Concubine Mei is kind-hearted, she is the master after all, and she has to do the hard work of feeding and supporting the master!
Her so-called betrothal to a good family was nothing more than finding a poor scholar or an unromantic guard or general. If she met a playboy, she would be in trouble even if she became his legal wife.
She is in the prime of life. Although her appearance is not outstanding, she is the type of pretty girl from a small family. She has finally gotten out of Ganye Temple. Why should she let others control her?
It's simply nonsense to want her to marry any man when she reaches a certain age!
It would be better for her to try her best now and strive to get His Majesty's favor and make her his woman. Then she can enter the palace and become a noble lady or something, and then slowly plan.
You have to earn your own future. If you rely on Concubine Mei, won’t you be bullied all your life?
Concubine Mei couldn't help but sigh as she looked at her back. She knew that she was unwilling to give up and was trying to climb up the social ladder by relying on her good looks.
But how can this road be so easy to walk on?
When she was young, she was much more beautiful and charming than her. Just a dance of hers could attract crazy rewards from all the rich young men in the capital. She was also proficient in everything from playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
After being elected as the Oiran, her virginity would be auctioned off for a hundred taels of gold before one could enter her room and become her lover.
It was because she was too arrogant at that time. She could have been a courtesan all her life and used the money she earned to redeem herself so that she wouldn't have had such a hard life.
She just wanted to make a push forward. With such a beautiful face and charming and graceful figure, how could she be willing to stay in a brothel?
It happened that the late emperor secretly left the palace and disguised himself as an ordinary person to come to Qinlou and Chuguan to listen to music and watch dances. Having seen countless people, she knew at a glance that this was no ordinary person.
He used all his skills to bewitch the late emperor, who immediately waved his hand and summoned her into the palace, made her a noble lady, and gave her the name Mei.
"Mei" and "Mei" have the same pronunciations. In the late emperor's mind, she was just a plaything. In the first month, they were inseparable and she was favored all the time, which aroused crazy jealousy from all the concubines in the palace. Even the Imperial Concubine Xuan, who was the most favored concubine in the palace at that time, was resentful of her.
There are so many women in the harem, but the only ones I remember are her and Song Chuji's mother, the two who came from brothels, the lowest and most seductive.
Once Your Majesty's novelty wears off, he will be completely disgusted with these unclean women!
The prostitutes in the brothels who used to envy her for being able to enter the palace and become a concubine would laugh at and ridicule her when they saw her being bullied in the palace.
It was at that time that she realized that having beauty alone was a dead end in the palace. If there was no one in her family to serve as a guard of honor, what was the value of her status?
Cheng Yuchang still looked down on her and wished he could completely disfigure her face.
Imperial Concubine Xuan would often call her over and ask her to kneel down and sing for her, saying that if a lowly person like her didn't have such a good voice, the Emperor wouldn't even look at her no matter how beautiful she was.
She was forced to drink a large bowl of medicine, and her throat could no longer sing. The late emperor once asked her to sleep with him on a whim. When he heard that her throat was damaged, he became angry and left in anger. Before leaving, he humiliated her, saying that she knew clearly that she was a prostitute, dirty and lowly, but she still dared to provoke the imperial concubine, and she deserved to have her throat ruined!
The Xuan family has tremendous power, and Concubine Xuan is the most jealous in the entire palace. The late queen was gentle and dignified, but unfortunately she had a short life and died too early. Everyone in the harem is afraid of Concubine Xuan.
Concubine Xuan hated these extremely beautiful women who had no background to rely on with gnashing teeth, and she wished to destroy them completely!
But due to palace rules, they could only keep their lives and torture them slowly!
Of course, Your Majesty knows. How could he not know what kind of character his woman has?
But the court needs the Xuan family. In order to make Concubine Xuan happy, what does it matter if she deals with a few brothel girls?
The imperial family is the most ruthless. She hates the late emperor more than Concubine Xuan.
Song Chuji's mother was much luckier than her. At least she gave birth to a prince. When her life was hanging by a thread, she could not bear it anymore and secretly asked for the imperial physician. After Concubine Xuan found out about it, she made her kneel on the ground for a day and a night without eating or resting.
The late emperor clearly passed by but turned a blind eye to her cries, so that when Song Chuji came back and honored her as the Queen Mother to deal with those people,
