Chapter 139 Alertness
He really needs to replenish his energy, although he feels that there is nothing wrong with his condition.
But people always have to take precautions!
Su Peisheng nodded in agreement, looking as if he understood everything.
He knew that the emperor was busy until midnight every day and must need some tonic.
The nourishing medicinal meals prepared by the Imperial Hospital before also need to be arranged!
Su Peisheng thought silently and waited for Yongzheng to drink all the ginseng soup before leaving.
That night, after finishing his work, Yongzheng came to Yongshou Palace in a good mood.
"My lord, the emperor is here."
Jinxi knocked on the door to remind Luoyao inside.
Luo Yao, who was lying in a rocking chair reading a book, stood up and threw the book aside.
She then went to the dressing table and put on the ruby necklace she had placed there specially.
The bright red necklace was very long and hung outside her light blue clothes, making it extremely eye-catching.
"Qingqing."
Yongzheng's voice sounded quickly. He walked in and saw the beauty dressing in front of the mirror. Then he turned around and smiled at her.
Luo Yao stood up and walked towards him.
"The Emperor is coming, why didn't anyone inform him?"
As she spoke, Yongzheng's attention was quickly attracted by the necklace on her chest.
"This is?"
Luo Yao touched the necklace and said casually:
"This was given to me by the Empress when I paid my respects this morning."
"Does Your Majesty think it looks good?"
She hooked the necklace with her fingers and handed it to Yongzheng, asking questions.
Yongzheng walked forward and held her in his arms. Just as he was about to say "she looks beautiful" he smelled a different fragrance.
It’s very faint, and quite different from the scent on Qingqing’s body.
He frowned.
His eyes fell on the necklace.
"Your necklace...was given to you by the Queen?"
Luo Yao nodded, "Yes, the Queen is very kind to me, I will wear it all the time."
Things can't be better, but you're still trying to find ways to make yourself unhappy.
Maybe she felt that because she was born a maid, she couldn't recognize the musk?
It’s a pity that Luo Yao got the script, and you don’t even need to read it to know that Yi Xiu has no good intentions.
There was no expression on Yongzheng's face, but the light in his eyes became deeper.
He raised his hand, took the necklace off Luo Yao's neck, and threw it back on the dressing table.
"I think the color of this necklace is too unlucky, so you'd better not wear it."
Luo Yao raised her eyebrows and curled the corners of her lips calmly.
Then she turned her head and leaned on his shoulder, asking:
"Then Your Majesty, please pick a better one for me~"
Yongzheng hummed, already beginning to doubt Yixiu.
What a coincidence that this thing could have been given to anyone else, but it had to fall into the hands of the most favored Huanbi.
Was it intentional or accidental?
This is musk, how dare Yixiu do that!
Considering the difficulty in having children in her harem, she should cultivate herself as a queen, as there are so many things she can do.
Yongzheng took a deep breath, and the cold light in his eyes was enough to kill people.
He cannot tolerate anything that is not conducive to his throne!
The temperature in the room dropped suddenly, but Luo Yao acted as if nothing had happened and didn't seem to feel the unusual atmosphere.
Leaning in his arms, holding his hand, looking left and right, she looked relaxed and contented.
Because she knew that someone was going to be in trouble.
.........................................
The next few days.
Yixiu's headache is getting worse day by day.
Originally, the emperor would come to her Jingren Palace on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
This was the last bit of dignity she had as queen.
But a few days ago, on the first day of May, the emperor went to Concubine Hua.
This made Concubine Hua very happy.
Regardless of whether it was impolite or not, they publicized it widely.
This is to throw Yixiu's face to the ground, then step on it and rub it repeatedly.
She was so angry that she was about to have a headache.
Later, Jianqiu came to report that many of the spies they had planted had been eliminated, and it was suspected that someone was targeting Jingren Palace.
Yixiu immediately became alert.
She knew that the emperor was a man who attached great importance to ancestral rules, and going to Concubine Hua's palace on the first day of the new year was definitely a disguised punishment for her.
And right after that, someone was secretly suppressing her people.
The time interval between the two events was so short that it was hard for her not to suspect that it was the emperor who did it.
So, what did she do to make the emperor angry?
Yixiu thought about it and realized that she hadn’t done anything recently.
The only action was to give Huanbi a red jade necklace...
Thinking of this, Yixiu's expression turned ugly.
So when I greeted you again.
Yixiu looked at Luoyao with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
"My Lady, you don't like the red jade necklace I gave you. How come I've never seen you wear it before?"
Before Luo Yao could say anything, Concubine Qi, who was wholeheartedly on the Queen's side, spoke first.
"I have also seen that ruby necklace. Its color is truly top-notch. If it still doesn't catch the eye of Noble Lady Chen, then it would be..."
She spoke sarcastically in a leisurely manner.
Everyone knows that Luo Yao rose to power from a palace maid.
What Concubine Qi meant was that, from the perspective of a palace maid like her, she shouldn't be picky about this or that.
Everyone looked towards Luo Yao. Sitting next to her was Noble Lady Fucha.
Among the noble ladies who have titles now, only she and Fei Yunyan are the ones.
People like Cao Qinmo and Fucha Guiren who don't have titles are placed behind them.
In front of Luoyao was Jingpin, who was the most honest and didn't say a word. Now she just turned her head and glanced.
Hua Fei snorted and laughed, and said meaningfully:
"My Lady Chen can't even wear all the things the Emperor has given her, so how can she have the time to use the things the Empress has given her?"
Her words were a double entendre, implying that Concubine Qi had no one to reward her, so she treated the things given by the Queen as treasures.
They also said that Luo Yao was too careless and took advantage of the emperor's favor to ignore the queen.
Facing their sarcasm and ridicule, Luo Yao didn't care at all.
It's just the clamor of a bunch of losers. Aren't they just jealous of their own favor?
She had a happy smile on her face, which was dazzling to everyone present.
Who are you showing your happiness to?
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I really like the necklace and put it on when I got home that day."
"But the emperor saw it and said that this color did not suit me, so he changed a new one for me."
There was a hint of happy worry in her tone.
"I said I didn't want it, but Your Majesty insisted on giving it to me. Alas~"
That tone of voice always sounded a bit rude.
Yixiu's hands on the armrest clenched unconsciously, and Hua Fei's forehead even had veins bulging.
What's the matter with wanting to hit someone?
The unexpected dog food filled everyone's mouths, and the greeting ended with everyone's indignant eyes.
Luoyao thought Yixiu could still bear it a little longer before coming to ask her.
I didn't expect that I couldn't bear it after just a few days.
Although she could have made a more plausible excuse, saying that she was worried that the necklace would be torn if she wore it too often.
But she refused!
