Harem: Luo Chen's Resentment

"Lan Er, go and settle the matter that you promised Cui Er and hand the letter over to father. During this period of time, the palace will be at peace." Luo Chen had seen Cui'er before she was pushed to Changle Palace, when she sat down and thought back to the scene when she saw Cui'er.

"Do you recognize me?" Luo Chen sat in the abandoned house in Changle Palace and asked the woman who was pressed on the ground.

"This servant understands, you are Imperial Concubine Shu." After Cui Er was stunned, she woke up here. This was Imperial Consort Shu's idea, what did she want to know from here?

"I know that you are someone from the imperial concubine Yao, and I even helped her communicate with the concubine Duan."

"Empress, this servant does not know what you are talking about." Cui'er broke out in cold sweat after hearing Imperial Consort Shu's words. How did she know about this?

"I also know that your family's lives are in the hands of imperial concubine Yao, so you have no choice but to work for him, but will imperial concubine Yao really protect your family's lives?" Luo Chen said calmly, she had already investigated Cui'er thoroughly.

At first, Cui Er did not agree, but when Luo Chen threatened her with his life, she reluctantly agreed. She still wanted to see if imperial concubine Yao would protect her and her family, as she had done so many things for her.

When Cui Er saw that imperial concubine Yao was hiding from her, she knew that imperial concubine Yao would not save her, so she followed Imperial Concubine Shu's instructions and dragged Yun'er out, and even made her pay the price.

Luo Chen pressed on her temple, feeling bored, when would life be the end? Lan Er saw that it was getting late and advised Luo Chen to sleep.

On the second day, Qin Muyun did not come to the Changle Palace, but instead sent someone to bestow an imperial edict upon him, which told him to arrange the funeral arrangements for the concubine Duan and to place the concubine Duan as his concubine.

Luo Chen knew that this was an easy thing to do, as long as her father was fine.

"Empress, Esteemed Empress Dowager is heading towards Changle Palace." Luo Chen stood up and straightened out her attire. She reckoned that Esteemed Empress Dowager had come here today for the child in her womb. After all, the Emperor only had one daughter.

"Luo Chen, Wailing Home has come to see you." Before the empress dowager's figure reached the Changle Palace, her voice reached Luo Chen's ears. Seeing how the empress dowager was so concerned about the child in her womb, Luo Chen smiled faintly.

"Chenqie invites this Esteemed Empress Dowager …" Luo Chen still had not finished greeting when she was helped up by the empress dowager.

"You already have a body, what else can you do? Wailing Home has even been your future Changle Palace, bring me to him and have a look. " The empress dowager looked at Luo Chen's face with affection, thinking that this woman was extremely born, and that her attitude was neither arrogant nor impetuous.

"Yes, Esteemed Empress Dowager." Luo Chen supported the Esteemed Empress Dowager and walked inside the palace.

After walking around, Luo Chen saw that the empress dowager's face was already tired, so she accompanied Esteemed Empress Dowager to sit down. When the empress dowager saw that Luo Chen was so meticulous, she felt that she liked her even more.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, this is the tea that chenqie brewed. It has the effect of calming the spirit. Please try it." Luo Chen personally poured a cup of tea for the empress dowager.

Her Majesty took a sip. "Yes, it tastes good. It's fragrant but not thick. It's a good tea." The empress dowager was not stingy with her praises.

"If Esteemed Empress Dowager doesn't mind, chenqie will prepare tea leaves for you in the future. You can let this mama drink it." Luo Chen told Lan Er to get the tea leaves for the empress dowager.

"Un, your hand is very coincidental, but you know that when the emperor was young, his hands were so clumsy that he couldn't even hold onto his brush steadily, and it was Wailing Home who held his hand and taught him that." The empress dowager told Luo Chen about Qin Muyun's childhood.

Luo Chen smiled as she thought back to how she normally looked at Qin Muyun's extremely good handwriting, and how he looked like someone who couldn't even hold a pen steady. The empress dowager then told Luo Chen about the interesting things that happened between Qin Muyun and the Third Marquis when they were young, making Luo Chen laugh out loud. Luo Chen also talked about the days of playing with her little brother before she got married, which made the empress dowager laugh out loud.

After Qin Muyun finished dealing with the imperial reports, he wanted to go out and take a walk. After a walk, he arrived at Changle Palace, just in time to see Luo Chen and the child. He heard laughter coming from inside. Ever since yesterday when he lost his concubine, he had been feeling very down. Now, hearing this laughter, he felt much more relieved. He listened carefully to what seemed to be his mother's voice and was still talking about his childhood. Not good. Crap!

"What bad things did the Queen and Chen'er say about me?" Qin Muyun pretended to be angry and walked in.

"Greetings to the Emperor." Luo Chen wiped the smile off her face and saluted to Qin Muyun, but then she thought about how the empress dowager had told him about the interesting things he did when he was young, and she wanted to laugh.

"If you want to laugh, then laugh. With Wailing Home here, the emperor won't dare to do anything to you." When the empress dowager saw that Luo Chen had endured the pain, she opened her mouth and said, "Actually, she still likes to see her own son being mocked."

"Haha, haha, chenqie can't take it anymore, haha." Luo Chen couldn't hold back anymore when the empress dowager said this.

Seeing how happy Luo Chen was laughing, Qin Muyun did not have the heart to interrupt. Since the day he entered the palace, she had never smiled so happily in front of her.

After talking for a while, they started having dinner in the Changle Palace.

"Wailing Home is full, so he's going back to the palace." Her Majesty prepared to leave after dinner.

"If Wailing Home doesn't leave, what will you do with Luo Er? I, as an old man, would not like to be an old woman obstructing people's way. " The empress dowager teased.

Luo Chen's face turned red at what the empress dowager had said. She felt very awkward when the empress dowager told her about this.

"Good, good. Your son and concubine respectfully send you off, mother." Qin Muyun and Luo Chen could only send the empress dowager back to the palace.

When the empress dowager returned to Peace Palace, she drank the tea that Luo Chen had sent her and felt extremely comfortable in her heart. Today, when she got along with Luo Chen, she was in a very relaxed mood. She was not the type of woman with deep scheming thoughts, she was different from the imperial concubine Yao. What made him worry was that Luo Chen's feelings for the emperor was very complicated. Other than admiring him, she seemed to have other uses … Also, Xuan'er, this child, would often mention Luo Chen in front of him, so what was the relationship between the two of them … Forget it, forget it, let them settle the matters of the young, the Wailing Home is just an idle person!

After the empress dowager left, Qin Muyun sat Luo Chen down with her hands on her stomach. "This is the first child between us, we will protect and grow up." Qin Muyun held Luo Chen's hand, and placed her hand together with his, feeling the warmth of their family.

However, what he did not see was that Luo Chen's face was cold and detached. Just as she left, he already had the time to be in love with her.

The palace only had new people laughing, how could there be any old people crying? In comparison to the warmth of the Changle Palace, the Fenghua Hall was in a miserable state.

"Empress, have some!" hymen timidly placed the dinner in front of imperial concubine Yao. She was afraid that imperial concubine Yao would take it out on her, since imperial concubine Yao had already scratched quite a few palace maids.
