The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 232. New Concubine Pei Wu Shan
Qin Sui Lan left the Moon pavilion which was the courtyard of Consort Qiao, the birth mother of Pei Zhong Min. Although Pei Zhong Min had been sent to the border for over a year now, their communication was well established. The two still exchanged news and continued their plans from afar. Qin Sui Lan knew what her husband was doing out there, including his plans to revolt and was trying to assemble an army.
Today he came to ask Consort Qiao to help him on a mission. The mission is important and dangerous, exchanging Eagle troop tokens for fake tokens.
All this time the Eagle token was in the hands of Emperor Pei An Long. But no one knows for sure where the Emperor kept it. But as a wife, despite being just an unnoticed concubine, some personal information still makes it possible to find her.
Consort Qiao always served Emperor Pei An Long after the emperor had spent the night in his place, and she always knew that there was a token that her husband always carried with him. In spite of. Not knowing for sure, he was sure that it was the legendary Eagle token. But he never said this to anyone, including his son.
Today when his son-in-law, Qin Sui Lan asked him to exchange the Eagle token for a fake, of course he would not dare. That's because as a wife, she has responsibilities to her husband. After all, if it was discovered that he had exchanged the token, he would be sentenced that he would never have imagined before. But after thinking about it, he agreed. As a mother, she was still more concerned with the interests of her son. After all, not necessarily her husband will realize that his token has been exchanged, right?
So after Qin Sui Lan walked out of his courtyard, he kept racking his brains on how to get Emperor Pei An Long to meet him and spend the night at his residence. With the Emperor coming, his plan would definitely succeed.
Half a day was almost spent by Consort Qiao to think before he finally found a way that would definitely work.
"Mu Dong, bring me my moon Guzheng." Concubine Qiao half-shouted as she gave orders to her loyal servant who was waiting outside the room to take orders.
"Good mistress." The young servant Mu Dong immediately replied and moved quickly.
Guzheng moon is always well kept and very rarely used except for special occasions. Concubine Qiao was a great Guzheng player. Because of his good gaming ability, he was able to make Emperor Pei An Long who liked Guzheng Music feel at home to stay in his yard and make her pregnant the earliest compared to the women who came with him.
Today he planned to train diligently and invite the Emperor to come and play Guzheng for his. Tonight the moon will look full circle. Enjoying the view of the moon accompanied by a soft Guzheng game, is not it a perfect combination?
In this way, he is sure to successfully perform the task that the child and his son-in-law are asking him to do. Besides, he will also make a profit. With so many concubines in the Harem, competition is always fierce. If it only depended on luck, maybe he would just wait until they were overgrown with moss. So if tonight he manages to invite Emperor Pei An Long into his courtyard, not only does he succeed in his mission, he can also earn the Emperor's affection which is always coveted by his.
Imagining tonight the Emperor would smile happily and stare at her gently, concubine Qiao's heart grew even more excited and impatiently waiting for the night to arrive. At that time, under the moonlight, only he would have Emperor Pei An Long all night.
Consort Qiao's beautiful daydream should be destroyed by Mu Dong who came with Guzheng's moon carefully in his hands. Consort Qiao's eyes softened as he looked at this musical instrument. She recalled that this musical instrument was given by Emperor Pei An Long after she successfully gave birth to her first son. This musical instrument was once a treasure stored within the treasury. Previously the Guzheng moon was one of the tributes given by the Yunan Empire after they lost the war. Getting the Guzheng as a gift, made him very proud and received a wide variety of envy from other concubines, including the young Queen Zhu.
"Madam, it's been a long time since Guzheng's moon was released. Will there be a special event for a few days?" Mu Dong asked curiously.
"No. I was just thinking of inviting His Majesty to enjoy the moon together. Tonight the full moon will be perfect and it will definitely look very beautiful. Seeing the moon accompanied by Guzheng music is the perfect blend. Moreover, it has been a long time since I last played Guzheng for His Majesty. These few days within the Shao Empire there were many problems that took up His Majesty's rest. By comforting her a little, I hope to reduce a little of her weight." Concubine Qiao spoke as she stroked Guzheng in her hand. Occasionally his fingertips plucked Guzheng's strings gently. Those touches, even have produced a very melodious sound, it is certain that reliable players play Guzheng skillfully.
"Mrs right. The game Guzheng madam was the best in this empire. His Majesty likes the game Guzheng plays the most."
"Hem. Now leave. Until my invitation to His Majesty. I'll start practicing from now on." Concubine Qiao waved her hand. Gesticulating for Mu Dong to immediately leave from before him and giving him the composure to train well.
While Consort Qiao was training vigorously, the other concubines who had just entered the King Wei residence were sobbing. Her tears smoothly flowed through the flushed corners of her round eyes. The servant who served him frantically calmed him down from both sides. But the beautiful woman did not seem to hear the persuasion of the servants and was still crying pitifully.
"No. I know it's not like that. I should have disagreed when Consort Yao came and became a concubine at King Wei's residence when I learned that King Wei's love belonged only to Empress Wei. I'm too stupid to wish I could get love." The girl continued to say as she pressed her hand on the table.
"Madam, you are the young miss of Minister Ke's residence who was directly chosen by Consort Yao to be the concubine of His Majesty King Wei. Servant can assure you that you will not get any ill treatment here." The one speaking was a senior servant whom concubine Yao had sent to help her in the King Wei residence. His job was to make sure that King Wei spent more nights with the new concubine directly chosen by him than with Yun Ying, a legitimate wife who could only give him a granddaughter.
Because of the support of concubine Yao, it was Ke Mei Jia who made her feel that she was taller and was an important person. That was why she dared to make trouble on her second day of being a concubine. If it was someone else, don't cry, complaining about her husband's affection alone wouldn't dare be done by a concubine.
"Did aunt Niang lie to me?" Ke Mei Jia looked at Aunt Niang with her round, red eyes. Looks desperate.
"Of course not. The mistress could trust the servant that the servant would take care of everything here. Madam take it easy. Tonight the servant will make sure whatever happens, King Wei will visit the mistress, so the mistress can prepare from now on."
"Then I will believe it because Aunt Niang is the servant that Concubine Yao sent." Ke Mei Jia immediately wiped away her tears upon hearing Aunt Niang's promise.
"Of course, madam." Said Aunt Niang with a smile before she slowly retreated and immediately left to carry out her duties.
"Wait for what else? Quickly dress me up! What if tonight I look bad in front of King Wei? Can you bear the consequences, huh?" The desperate-looking face immediately changed as he began to scold the servants who were only silent when they knew that his current appearance was very bad while the king of Wei was coming.
"Please forgive us, madam. We'll hurry soon." The three-man servant girls immediately knelt down. They were servants who had just entered into the residence of King Wei and the fate had not been so familiar with all the matters in the residence of the nobles. All they know is that they should not offend their employer. So the moment they made a mistake, they immediately knelt down begging for mercy in panic.
"Huh! You think an apology alone can solve everything?! Get up and get me some bath water!"
"Good mistress. Good mistress." The servant girl looked at each other before they ran out. Prepare the bath water as the senior servants had taught them before.
