Murong Ke returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. After dismissing Fu De, he stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside.
Ever since he was fifteen years old, he had dreamed of leaving the palace one day. There was only mutual deception and all kinds of dark and sinister methods. His Imperial Mother had died in the schemes of others. For him to be able to live and grow up, he had also experienced many schemes. He had never thought that he would one day sit on the dragon throne that he had once hated.
He had thought that he would not be able to get used to it, but it seemed like he was already used to it.
Habit is a terrible thing.
He was afraid that one day he would become the kind of person he once hated, like his father.
Murong Ke took out a jade hairpin from his bosom. This was what he had taken from the Yong Shou Palace. He knew that it belonged to her.
He carefully hid her things, as if he wanted to keep her by his side, at least there was a little bit of remembrance.
Actually, this was all his wishful thinking.
That day when they first met, she hid her beautiful appearance, but she could not hide her bright and intelligent eyes. At the inn, she looked at him in a daze. The deep affection and nostalgia in her eyes made his heart beat faster. He had no lack of women approaching him, no matter how beautiful they were, but he was inexplicably moved by the eyes of this ordinary woman. Later, when they traveled together, he gradually put her in his heart.
When he found out that she was Lu Yaoyao, he knew that he was already in deep trouble.
He liked her, but he clearly knew that she loved Mo Rongzhan.
It wasn't that he didn't think about restraining his feelings, it wasn't that he didn't think about avoiding her. When he found out that she was taken to the priest hall, he couldn't control his heart at all. He could even give up his life, as long as she was well.
After so many years, he knew he had to give up, but he still couldn't erase her from his heart.
"Yao Yao …" Murong Ke clenched the jade hairpin in his hand. That day, she specifically came to the palace to find him to make him give up.
He thought that letting the beauties enter the palace would change things.
"Ford." Murong Ke called Ford, who was outside the door, in.
"Your Majesty." Fu De came in and bowed, listening to Murong Ke's instructions.
Murong Ke gripped the jade hairpin tightly, "Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare a green card."
Ford was stunned for a moment. Green card? It had been ten years since the Palace had used this thing, so he couldn't remember.
"Yes, yes." Ford reacted after a while, and his face flashed with joy.
Was the emperor finally going to favor the imperial concubines in the harem?
Whether it was the previous emperor or the current emperor, they had never used the green head card. It was just a decoration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Murong Ke watched as Fu De retreated with a face full of smiles. He lowered his eyes to look at the jade hairpin in his hand, which had already cracked under his grip.
He closed his eyes and held the jade hairpin in his hand. In an instant, it turned into powder.
What didn't belong to him would never be his.
He only hoped that in his next life, he would be able to meet her earlier.
The steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly brought the green head card over and looked nervously at Murong Ke, "Your Majesty, this is the green head card."
I wonder who the emperor wants to sleep with today. This is the first person, it must be the emperor's favorite.
Murong Ke didn't even look at it. He took a green card from the tray and threw it on the table. "I'll take this."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The chief steward took the green token and retreated with a smile. He was about to arrange for the concubines to come and serve him in bed.
…
…
When Lei Bingfu was thinking if she should spend some effort to make Murong Ke not misunderstand her, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent an edict for her to prepare to serve him in bed today.
"… …" What? Serve him in bed?
Murong Ke had just left with a black face not long ago. How come she was going to serve him in bed in the blink of an eye? Wasn't this teasing her? She didn't see any love in Murong Ke for her. It seemed that he thought she had taught Ming Yu bad.
"Congratulations, niangniang. The first person to serve the emperor in the palace is niangniang. This is a great blessing." The entire Jianjia Palace was filled with joy. They felt that Lei Bingfu had finally made a breakthrough.
Lei Bingfu wasn't happy at all. She felt that it was a bit unusual. How could it be? Murong Ke's expression when he left was simply disgusted with her.
"Niangniang, that's great." The Head Palace Maid helped Lei Bingfu into the bedroom. She couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"Don't be happy too early. It might not be a good thing." Lei Bingfu sighed. She rubbed the space between her brows.
The Head Palace Maid Ding Xiang said, "No matter what, this is the first time His Majesty has made a cuckold. Furthermore, the first is niangniang. This is already the first honor."
Lei Bingfu thought to herself. It would be good if this honor didn't turn into a scare.
"The princess likes you. That's because you treat her sincerely. His Majesty can see that." Ding Xiang said with a smile.
"You're still too naive." Lei Bingfu shook her head and smiled. "Don't say anymore. Help me change my clothes first."
Although she didn't know what was going on, she still had to prepare first.
Ding Xiang said, "This servant will go pick out clothes for niangniang."
"Don't be too bright. Something plain will do. It's fine as long as it looks good." Lei Bingfu said. She felt that Murong Ke wouldn't pay much attention to a woman's appearance. His heart belonged to someone else. Other than the woman he liked, other women shouldn't be able to enter his eyes.
"Niangniang, this … isn't this too disrespectful?" Ding Xiang said hesitantly.
Lei Bingfu said lightly, "No, let it be like this."
"But, it's the first time after all." Ding Xiang said. She didn't understand Lei Bingfu's thoughts. What was there to be plain about at this time? Shouldn't she dress well so that the Emperor would remember her?
The Emperor had flipped the green card once. There would definitely be a second time. Didn't she want the honor in the future?
Lei Bingfu smiled. "Just pick out whatever clothes ben consort tells you to. Have the people outside bring water in. ben consort wants to take a bath."
When Ding Xiang heard Lei Bingfu say this, she could only stop trying to persuade her.
The other places in the palace weren't quiet at this time. When they found out that the Emperor had flipped the green card, there wasn't a single concubine who didn't like that it was their turn. But when the news came, they were still disappointed.
"Sure enough, we still have to please the princess." Liu Jieyu snorted coldly. "Lei Bingfu's schemes are good. Now she can even serve in bed."
"It doesn't matter. Since the Emperor has already started flipping the green card, it will be our turn sooner or later." Li Jieyu said.
Liu Jieyu bit her lip. "I just can't bear to see Lei Bingfu's smug look."
"As long as the princess doesn't like her, the Emperor will naturally hate her."
"What you say … is somewhat reasonable."
In the corner, a palace maid silently retreated, running in the direction of the Fengyi Palace.
Ming Yu listened to the palace maid whisper in her ear. She raised her eyebrows thoughtfully. "They want me to hate Lei Huipin … then that depends on what they want to do. However, it seems that Imperial Father is also someone who says one thing but means another."
She had thought that Imperial Father didn't like Lei Huipin and had her serve in bed in the blink of an eye.
En, that's pretty good.
