Chun Mei had been serving Ye Yaoyao since she was picked up. She watched Ye Yaoyao grow from an orphan girl to Concubine Yao step by step. She thought she was the most trusted person around Concubine Yao. However, since entering the palace, Concubine Yao didn't seem to ask for her opinion as before. She didn't know if she had done something wrong. Why did Concubine Yao trust Dong Mei more?
Today, Concubine Yao rarely let her accompany her out, but she didn't expect to meet Lu Yaoyao.
Only Chun Mei knew how much Concubine Yao disliked Lu Yaoyao. If not for this woman, perhaps Concubine Yao would now be in the harem.
"You … who do you think you are? You haven't even entered the palace yet, and you're already so arrogant. " Chun Mei was a little afraid of Ye Zhen's momentum, but thinking that it was probably impossible for the other party to enter the palace, her arrogance rose again.
The corner of Ye Zhen's mouth rose slightly. "I'm arrogant, so what?"
Ye Yaoyao clasped her hands together. She told herself in her heart that she must not show weakness in front of Lu Yaoyao. If Lu Yaoyao could have such a graceful and noble temperament, why couldn't she? She didn't lose to Lu Yaoyao at all.
"Yaoyao, don't bother with a palace maid." Ye Yaoyao straightened her back and raised her chin. "After all, you haven't entered the palace yet. It's reasonable for others to think that you need to salute."
"Concubine Yao, I wonder what you called me for?" Ye Zhen didn't want to entangle herself in the issue of salute. She didn't like Ye Yaoyao, not because she became Concubine Yao. She also knew that Ye Yaoyao was a poor person who had no memory of being used by Lu Lingzhi, but she just didn't like the woman who almost became her substitute.
Ye Yaoyao lifted her eyes to size up Lu Yaoyao. Because of Old Madam Lu's passing, Lu Yaoyao's clothes were not particularly colorful, and there was not a trace of bright pigment on her face. However, Lu Yaoyao seemed to be able to set off her beauty with light and heavy makeup. Just this set of clothes made her look like an orchid, plain and elegant, yet full of vitality.
It was because of her that the emperor abandoned all the women in the harem and only saw her in his eyes.
"Yaoyao, do we have to alienate each other like this?" Ye Yaoyao said softly, "Ever since we came back from Chengde Villa, you've had too many misunderstandings towards me …"
Ye Zhen said lightly, "Imperial Concubine Yao, I have never misunderstood you."
"You must think that I deliberately deceived the Emperor. I … I didn't. Yao Yao, I don't know if I saved the Emperor, nor did I know that the former Empress was the Emperor's former savior. I don't remember anything." Ye Yaoyao looked at Ye Zhen pitifully and innocently.
"I know you're being used." Ye Zhen smiled. She alienated Ye Yaoyao because she felt that when Leng Mei stabbed her, Ye Yaoyao should know that she was being used, but she still pretended that she didn't know anything, and took herself for granted as Mo Rongzhan's benefactor and entered the palace.
Ye Yaoyao's face lit up. "Yaoyao, it's good that you understand."
"Concubine Yao, it doesn't matter to you whether I understand or not. You don't have to care about my opinion." Ye Rou said lightly. "I still have matters to attend to. Farewell."
"I have one thing to ask of you." Ye Yaoyao blocked Ye Zhen's way. The pitiful grievance in her eyes was replaced by a touch of firmness. She looked straight at Ye Zhen. If she didn't say something at this time, she would have no chance to say it in the future. "Yaoyao, can you … give me a little of the Emperor's heart?"
Ye Zhen was stunned, as if she didn't expect Ye Yaoyao to say such a thing. "You just have no memory, not become stupid. The Emperor's heart is not mine. Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say such a thing?"
"How can the Emperor's heart not be yours?" Ye Yaoyao almost cried out. "He only sees you in his eyes, but this is not right …"
"What's wrong?" If Mo Rongzhan didn't have her in his eyes, why would she forgive him?
"He … he is the Emperor, not yours alone. How can his heart belong to you alone?" Ye Yaoyao's face was pale. Thinking of the words he said to her, "It's a pity that you are not him", she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. "There are so many women in the harem. Aren't they the Emperor's women? Are you going to monopolize him in the future? "
Ye Zhen looked at her funny. "Imperial Concubine Yao, do you want the Emperor to love only you?"
Who doesn't want that … Ye Yaoyao bit her lip and looked at Ye Zhen with tears in her eyes, looking as if she was being bullied by Ye Zhen.
"There is one thing you are wrong about." Ye Zhen looked at her and said faintly, "What I want is not only the Emperor's heart to belong to me alone. His person can only be mine. My man should not be shared with other women. Do you understand? Don't covet my man in the future. "
This was the concept that Ye Yiqing began to instill in Ye Zhen since she was sensible. A man can have three wives and four concubines, but a woman can't feel that this is right. It's not her duty to take a concubine for her husband. If two people really love each other, why can there be others in the middle? Just like her father and mother, even when their relationship was at its coldest, her father did not take a concubine, let alone a tongfang. It's not that her grandmother didn't send a maid to her father at that time, but her father said that it was wrong.
So, if Mo Rongzhan didn't have the idea of spoiling other women, why did she push him away? That's right, he wasn't an ordinary man, he was the emperor. He could spoil whoever he wanted, but if he didn't want to, she wouldn't be so stupid as to say something like 'Emperor, you want rain and dew to fall evenly'. If she really let him fall evenly, the one crying would be her.
"You … you haven't even entered the palace yet, and yet you say such a thing." Ye Yaoyao was obviously frightened by Ye Zhen's words. This was the most outrageous thing she had ever heard. Even a woman in an ordinary family would not dare to say that her husband could only belong to her alone, let alone say something like "Don't covet my man". This Lu Yaoyao was simply … simply a barbarian. Ye Yaoyao's eyes widened.
Ye Zhen smiled, "You asked me to say it."
Ye Yaoyao gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really think you can enter the palace for sure? Maybe … maybe you can't become the Empress. Aren't you afraid of losing face by boasting so shamelessly? "
"I'm not afraid of losing face." Ye Zhen admitted generously, "Imperial Concubine Yao, if you stopped me just to say this, then there is nothing to say."
Ye Yaoyao never thought of shedding all pretense of cordiality with Lu Yaoyao, but after listening to her words today, she couldn't wait to go forward and tear Lu Yaoyao's face to see if the Emperor still liked her. "If the Emperor knew your true face, he would never like you again."
"What does it have to do with you whether I like him or not?" Ye Zhen smiled and glanced at Ye Yaoyao, then lifted her foot and walked past her.
