The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 235. Heart of Emperor Pei An Long
The rules in the Harem were made strict enough to make it easier to control everyone living in them. This rule is in part a rule passed down by generations and there are also some rules created and added by the Queen of Money served.
One of the rules laid down by Queen Zhu was that on the first day of each week, no mistress could have the Emperor's night. The other concubines have their own schedules. Even though they have a schedule, they, They still could not find time with Emperor Pei An Long due to the Emperor's busy life who even spent the night in the study rather than in the courtyards of his concubines. At this stage, the existence of the Harem only serves as a complement and producer of offspring.
The women sent by their families into the palace were actually about the same as making them lonely display dolls. They were only sent as bargaining tools and also the strengthening of power. They believed that if they sent their daughter to be one of the Emperor's women, the chance for their family to develop was doubled. At the very least, their daughter would say a few good words as they served the Emperor.
Although the status of a concubine was so blinding to the eye that honor and glory would be theirs, the price they had to pay for it was not cheap. They must pay the price of honor and glory with their freedom. A lifetime!
Not a few people would describe if the Harem was even more ruthless than the battlefield. Bloodier than the slaughterhouse. Only women who have entered the Harem for many years will be able to feel it.
The women who became concubines were all the chosen women from each residence. They are the most superior of all the sisters. Smooth soft dns. Beautiful and charming. But when they reached Harem, they were nothing but a puppet on display. Emperor Pei An Long, even barely had the time to spend together with them.
On an ordinary day, if Emperor Pei An Long were to stay at the place of one of his concubines, he would send people to give word so as to give time for the concubine to prepare to welcome him.
Every time the emperor's envoy came, news would soon spread rapidly throughout the Harem. Some of these concubines were regretful because they were not the ones who received the good news. As for the others, they vigorously entered the meditation hall and prayed that when Emperor Pei An Long came next, they would receive the fortune. Some others could not only be envious or just pray. They would also rush over like concubines getting news. They will dress their faces very beautifully. Their hair will be beautifully shaped with carefully selected hair ornaments. The clothes they wore that day had also been prepared in advance. Everything is beautiful and classy.
If the time came, they would purposely take a walk on the Harem road that was filled with gardens and flowers. With their beautiful appearance, all the way will look like butterflies that are dancing and attracting prey. But what they pulled was not the will, but the attention of Emperor Pei An Long.
Everyone who has been old and new in the Harem, will recognize the gallant footsteps of Emperor Pei An Long.
The steady sound of her feet made the hearts of these women stop functioning before they finally beat fast. One by one they squeezed the handkerchief in their hands. Try your best to look perfect in one glance. With hope, Emperor Pei An Long would fall in love and be interested in them thus ignoring his prior intentions and switch directions towards their residence.
Emperor Pei An Long's handsome face was still looking young as he appeared in the Harem. Makes women's hearts beat faster. They nearly held their breaths as they stood not far from the path the Emperor had crossed.
Emperor Pei An Long however rarely laid his eyes on them. Passing through them to him was tantamount to passing through a stranger. Walk with usually. Ignoring the appearance of the concubines who tried to please her.
One by one the women passed in front of their courtyard. However as the courtyard where Concubine Qiao lived was in a fairly close section, quickly Emperor Pei An Long's silhouette disappeared into the courtyard. Making the hoping spectators sigh helplessly before turning around and returning to their respective courtyards.
Consort Qiao's courtyard had basically been cleaned and decorated with decorations that fit the atmosphere that supported a romance.
As Kasim announced his arrival, Consort Qiao along with all the servants serving her stood up and saluted in unison.
"Your Majesty. I miss you so much." Concubine Qiao immediately stepped forward after Emperor Pei An Long received their respects.
Tonight, Consort Qiao was wearing her best clothes. It is an ivory yellow color that makes it look very young. As a concubine, she also takes good care of her face and body. As he rubbed his front on Emperor Pei An Long's arm, a soft sensation dsn chewy instantly struck him.
"Your Majesty, let the servant take off your cloak." Concubine Qiao smiled gently. He was very fond of Emperor Pei An Long's always loving attitude. As he spoke, he had already shifted to the side and extended his hand.
"Hem." Emperor Pei An Long only cleared his throat as he lowered his shoulders but raised his right hand to make it easier for concubine Qiao to remove the robe for him. The concubines always did that. Which is one of their duties. Remove and put the robe back on.
Concubine Qiao was already used to doing so and easily removed the dragon robe that became the oversized robe of an Emperor. After removing the robe, he placed the robe on a hanger on a pole. Dragon robes should not be placed in any place.
After his dragon robe was removed, Emperor Pei An walked over to the seat. Sip the tea prepared for her on the table. Although his eyes seemed to focus on the tea in front of him, his eyes did not pay attention to every smooth movement of concubine Qiao. Based on what Pei Zhang Xi said to him, Pei Zhong Min was eyeing an Eagle army that was only subject to people who had Eagle tokens. Therefore, his unfilial son must have asked Consort Qiao to take the token for him.
Concubine Qiao moved cautiously and was not suspicious. Ever since he decided to help his son, he had steadied his heart to do anything for it. Including betraying her own husband even though as the biggest consequence is the death penalty.
As a concubine who had been following Emperor Pei An Long for decades, she had always believed that Eagle tokens were always carried by the Emperor. But not in the dragon robe he was currently holding but behind his belt. Recalling this, Consort Qiao sighed.
Consort Qiao was always good at arranging her face. As she turned around and faced Emperor Pei An Long, the smile on her pretty face had already been returned. His smile seemed soft and natural.
"Your Majesty, I ask the kitchen to cook His Majesty's favorite meal. Does Your Majesty want to eat now or later?" Concubine Qiao asked gently.
"yeah. Serve now." Emperor Pei An Long nodded. Hearing his approval, Consort Qiao immediately ordered the servants to serve food to them.
The night is still long for Emperor Pei An Long. But this night was different from the others because he had to fight with himself...
