Harem: Luo Chen's Resentment

After hearing the decree, Luo Chen was also stunned.

"Imperial Consort Shu, Imperial Consort Shu, accept the decree!" Eunuch Zhang called out to Luo Chen in a low voice.

Luo Chen reacted, "Chenqie shall receive the decree, I thank the Lord for his grace, long live our Emperor, long live and long live." When Eunuch Zhang left, Luo Chen was still in a daze. When she turned around, she saw that imperial concubine Yao was right behind him.

"Congratulations Imperial Concubine Su, no, it should be Imperial Consort Shu now." The imperial concubine Yao trembled as she finished speaking, then left in large strides.

Luo Chen looked at the imperial edict and the Phoenix Seal in her hands, and felt a chill in her heart. Qin Muyun's movements was too fast!

When the imperial concubine Yao left the Changle Palace, she went to the imperial garden alone. She sat in the pavilion and looked at the decaying garden, feeling that she was just like this broken flower, which would be replaced very soon. When Qin Muyun had just ascended to the throne, she had already entered the palace. When she was young, Li Xiaowan knew that she was going to enter the palace, thus she had been extremely prepared with her zither, chess and painting. However, when she really became the imperial concubine Yao and sat on her bed with a red veil over her head, waiting for the Emperor to meet his good fortune, the imperial concubine Yao was extremely nervous inside.

When his head was lifted and he saw his handsome face with a faint smile, imperial concubine Yao knew that he liked this man and thus was willing to bear his children.

Qin Muyun had feelings for him, but he didn't have it that deep. Most of them were just there to accompany him, or perhaps it was for his father. imperial concubine Yao knows that the Emperor likes Luo Chen, but Luo Chen is not sincere to the Emperor. The circle of the three of us will be passed down from generation to generation.

"Your Majesty, your heart is no longer with me, but chenqie loves you. Chenqie will not harm you, but Luo Chen might not!" imperial concubine Yao cried softly.

During lunch time, Qin Muyun went to Fenghua Hall.

"Yun-er, take a look at my hair ornaments and see if they are messy. I still think that green lake dress is pretty, do you want me to change it? " When the imperial concubine Yao heard that the emperor was coming to the Fenghua Hall, she anxiously kept asking Yun'er about her appearance.

"Empress, you look particularly beautiful today. There's no need to change anything." Yun'er knew that the emperor hadn't been to Fenghua Hall for many days, so she was afraid that Esteemed Empress Rongfei was overjoyed.

"The Emperor has arrived."

"Chenqie greets Your Majesty." imperial concubine Yao hastily stood up and bowed to the Emperor.

"Get up! Wan-Er, I am hungry, let's eat! " Qin Muyun took imperial concubine Yao's hand and brought him to the table. imperial concubine Yao's eyes were filled with tears when she saw the emperor holding both her hands.

imperial concubine Yao did not sit down to eat with the emperor. Instead, she stood beside the emperor and helped him eat. When she saw Qin Muyun eat, he felt warm in her heart.

"Wan'er, today, we conferred imperial concubine Shu the title of Imperial Consort Shu and let her manage the harem." Qin Muyun ate his lunch and sat on a chair to talk to the imperial concubine Yao.

"Your majesty, chenqie was in the Changle Palace when the imperial edict arrived. I naturally know that chenqie will deliver the accounts of the imperial harem to the Changle Palace shortly after." Even if imperial concubine Yao was angered to the extreme, she still wouldn't let it go in front of the man she liked.

"Yes, if there's anything that Luo Chen doesn't understand in the future, Wan'er will tell her." Qin Muyun indifferently warned.

"Peng," after imperial concubine Yao heard this, his hand trembled and she knocked away the teacup. It seems like you are afraid that Luo Chen would not be able to manage the harem properly, so you came to warn me that I need to help Luo Chen.

"Alright, chenqie understands."

After dinner, Qin Muyun left. In the afternoon, the imperial concubine Yao delivered the items to the Changle Palace. Luo Chen began to officially manage the harem, before the empress entered the palace.

As night fell, the Changle Palace was brightly lit only because the Emperor was coming to the Changle Palace.

"Your Majesty the Emperor …" Before Luo Chen could finish speaking, she was helped up by Qin Muyun.

"From now on, there's no need to pay respects." Qin Muyun instructed. When the palace maids of the Changle Palace saw that their mistress had been spoiled by the Emperor, they all burst out laughing.

At night, Luo Chen and Qin Muyun played chess for a while before falling asleep.

"Your majesty, chenqie wasn't too happy when I saw you having dinner." Luo Chen stopped midsentence. The imperial harem could not be governed by any rules! This was a death sentence, and many concubines had lost their lives because of this.

Qin Muyun was caressing the skin on Luo Chen's back, just when he felt that none of the women in the palace could compare to Luo Chen, he heard this sentence and replied, "Something happened in Hunan, don't worry."

Seeing Luo Chen's small mouth opening and closing in front of him, Qin Muyun felt that his little belly was extremely swollen and he could no longer endure. He turned around and pressed Luo Chen down on him.

As the two were chatting tenderly, a letter was passed from Fenghua Hall.

The morning of the second day, Changle Palace welcomed a new guest.

"This one pays my respects to Imperial Concubine Shu." A woman wearing a light blue skirt and a seven-colored Exquisite Lotus Bag on her waist who had faint makeup painted on her face greeted him in a low voice.

Luo Chen looked at her and knew that this was Qin Muyun's second wife, concubine Duan. She came from Jiangnan, and her beauty was implicit in contrast to her own coldness and also differed from the enchanting beauty of imperial concubine Yao.

"Please rise, concubine Duan." Luo Chen helped concubine Duan up and instructed him to serve tea. Lan Er also took out the osmanthus cake that she usually received from the guests.

concubine Duan sat on a chair. At first, he exchanged a few words with Luo Chen, but after that he became quiet and sat down on a chair.

Luo Chen knew that she was from Jiangnan, so he let her talk about Jiangnan to ease her awkwardness. Only then did concubine Duan talk about Jiangnan's scenery, and said that the Jiangnan Misty Rain every year was the most beautiful, and then he took his leave.

Luo Chen looked at this concubine Duan who came uninvited, and was extremely curious inhiss heart. She didn't do anything when he came to Changle Palace, and only talked about Jiangnan with her, and her expression was always cold. There was neither hatred nor envy.

At night, Luo Chen was waiting for Qin Muyun to eat, and saw Lan Er hurriedly walk in from outside.

"Empress, the Emperor went to the concubine Duan of the concubine Duan." Lan Er said anxiously.

"Mm, I know that the emperor won't be coming over. I'll start eating then!" Luo Chen did not mind and started to eat dinner.

"Empress, it's not this, it's that concubine Duan's stomach hurts. concubine Duan hasn't gone anywhere today, so he's the only one here." Lan Er finished his words in one go.

Hearing that, Luo Chen knew the seriousness of the situation, so she put down her chopsticks. She did not poison concubine Duan, and that was a fact.

"Let's go, we will drive the Yi Lan Palace to get some ginseng." Luo Chen brought along the ginseng and headed towards Yi Lan Palace, all the way, Luo Chen was thinking, who exactly did this?

When Luo Chen arrived at Yi Lan Palace and saw the imperial physician coming out from the hall, she stopped her.
