Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 146 The Rough-Hearted Emperor and the Delicate Imperial Concubine 4

Chu Yue served the emperor last night and got up early to pay her respects. After returning, she fell asleep exhausted. If it weren't for the system, her body would have been in serious trouble.

In the afternoon, word came from the front that Yu Fu Palace would be chosen to serve the emperor.

Xiao Tao and Xiao Ju happily got busy, dressing up Chu Yue early in the morning.

The dressing table was filled with all kinds of perfumes, lipsticks, rouge, and osmanthus oil.

"Don't use these, the smell is too strong." Chu Yue dodged the osmanthus oil from Xiao Tao's hand and frowned slightly: "Just tie your hair up with a hairpin and let it hang loosely."

The most important thing now is to win over the emperor's heart.

Finally, she lightly applied a thin layer of rouge to her face and lip rouge to her lips, looking both pure and alluring.

When the emperor arrived, he saw Consort Rou standing outside the palace gate, dressed in thin clothes, waiting for him.

A gentle smile graced her face, and a few strands of her hair fell across her fair complexion in the breeze.

Compared to last night, Consort Rou is even more radiant now.

Having just spent the night in passion with the beauty, the emperor was naturally concerned for her. He strode over and stopped her from bowing, asking, "Why are you waiting outside?"

"Of course, I will come out to wait for Your Majesty," Chu Yue said softly, moving slightly closer to the emperor.

The emperor felt even more certain that the title he had given her was right; not only was her body supple, but her temperament was also gentle, and even her voice was so delicate and weak.

"You're not well, don't come out to wait next time." The emperor took the opportunity to put his arm around her slender waist, and the two pressed even closer together.

Chu Yue's soft, boneless hand rested against the emperor's chest, revealing glimpses of her fair skin.

The emperor's aggressive gaze made Chu Yue's cheeks flush red, and her eyelashes trembled as she avoided his gaze.

Xiao Caizi's eyes lit up, and he immediately waved for the palace servants to leave and stand guard outside the hall.

After the palace servants withdrew, the emperor suddenly picked up Chu Yue and carried her to the chaise lounge in the palace. He held her tightly on his lap, lowered his head, and bit her delicate, luscious lips.

After a long while, the emperor slowly relaxed, breathing heavily.

Chu Yue pouted her already swollen lips and complained in a soft, delicate voice, "Your Majesty... I... can't take it..."

The emperor stiffened, recalling how Consort Rou had begged for mercy countless times the previous night, yet he still held her firmly in his arms, showering her with his favor.

But since it was the emperor's first time experiencing sexual pleasure, despite his pity for Consort Rou's delicate and frail body, he was unwilling to hold back any longer precisely because of her delicate and charming appearance. He comforted her in a hoarse voice, "I will be gentle."

The room was filled with a romantic atmosphere under the dim candlelight.

After a long while, the emperor's hoarse voice rang out: "Someone come here."

Xiao Caizi immediately replied, "This servant is here."

There was a commotion outside the door, and palace servants carried in hot water.

Chu Yue's beautiful eyes were lightly closed, her hands tightly gripping the brocade quilt, half her face buried in the bed, her long eyelashes trembling incessantly, she had no strength left.

The emperor lowered his tall frame slightly: "My beloved consort, let me carry you to take a bath."

After saying that, he easily picked her up and carried her to the inner room, where the two sat together in the bathtub.

It was rare for the emperor to show her such tenderness, so Chu Yue enjoyed his gentleness and was carried back to bed after he finished washing her.

The next morning, when Chu Yue woke up, the emperor was still there, looking at her.

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue's voice was slightly hoarse.

The emperor tucked the blanket around her and asked, "Let me see if my beloved concubine is feeling unwell anywhere?"

Consort Rou was in poor health, so he dared not act recklessly in bed. After serving her for two consecutive days, he was naturally worried.

Chu Yue's face was a little pale, and her swollen lips parted slightly: "Your Majesty, I'm fine... I'm sorry to have worried you."

"I'm not blaming you, it's not your fault. Just take good care of yourself from now on, and that will be fine."

Although the beauty was apologizing, her eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs, which made her even more pitiful. The emperor's heart felt as if a feather had brushed past it, leaving no trace in an instant.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Chu Yue smiled gently.

The emperor, who had always been rough around the edges, had tried his best to change his old habits after taking the throne. His concubine, Roufei, was so delicate that he dared not even raise his voice.

I'm terrified that if I raise my voice even slightly, I might frighten this delicate beauty.

"I'm leaving now. You should rest well." After saying this, the emperor instructed the people of Yufu Palace to take good care of Consort Rou.

The emperor was supposed to attend court in the morning, but he stayed behind to take care of his concubine for so long. Xiao Caizi looked around the Jade Hibiscus Palace from outside and saw that Consort Rou seemed to be very popular with His Majesty.

After serving the emperor, Consort Rou was granted a title, and now she has served the emperor for two consecutive days. Is the prime minister's daughter so special?

The few women remaining in the harem began to stir with ambition, hoping to win the emperor's favor and gain his deepest affections.

……

"Your Highness, would you like to go for a walk?" Xiao Tao looked outside; the weather seemed quite nice.

Chu Yue looked out upon hearing the sound. The sun was shining brightly, so it was a good time to go for a walk.

"Let's go." Chu Yuelian walked out with light steps. She was weak and her steps were as gentle as a willow swaying in the breeze.

Xiao Tao and Xiao Ju quickly stepped forward to help her, and soon they helped Chu Yue to the Imperial Garden.

But to their surprise, the Imperial Garden was already occupied.

Consort Chen, Consort Liu, and Consort Wang were all present. They were all selected by the Empress Dowager and had not yet served the Emperor, which is why they got along so well.

Today, we all gathered together to stroll around the Imperial Garden.

"This concubine greets Consort Rou..." The three women bowed and paid their respects to Chu Yue.

Looking at Chu Yue's frail appearance, Consort Chen could hardly believe that she had served the Emperor for two consecutive days and was still able to go out for a walk.

"Get up," Chu Yue said calmly.

After standing up, Consort Chen smiled and said, "It's rare to see Your Highness out here, unlike us who are so leisurely."

Chu Yue understood perfectly well what she meant; wasn't she just unhappy about Chu Yue serving her in bed?

"I'm just out to admire the flowers, please make yourselves at home." After saying this, Chu Yue turned to leave, as she had neither the strength nor the time to deal with them.

Her body couldn't withstand the strain; one trip was enough, and it was time for her to go back.

"Your Highness, please wait. Since you have received your title and have been busy serving His Majesty, we concubines have not been able to see you. Today is a rare opportunity to meet you, so we present you with our gifts."

"Here is a pot of precious epiphyllum flowers, which I greatly admire. I will present it to Your Majesty now to congratulate you on your joyous occasion."

Consort Chen stopped Chu Yue and gestured for Mingzhu to present the epiphyllum.

Xiao Tao and Xiao Ju secretly observed Chu Yue's expression, wondering whether they should accept the flowers.

Consort Chen is too audacious. Not only is her gift-giving so careless and rude, but it's also so offensive. She actually used the epiphyllum to satirize that her mistress's favor is as fleeting as an epiphyllum flower and not worth taking seriously.

Chu Yue's expression remained unchanged as she gestured for Xiao Tao to take the flower: "Consort Chen is very thoughtful. I also think this epiphyllum is quite nice. If it blooms, I will definitely invite Consort Chen to admire it together."

Forget about fleeting beauty and things fading away tomorrow; it's all about human effort. Using flowers to satirize is nothing more than empty talk.

"Your Majesty is right. In that case, I will not disturb Your Majesty any longer. I will take my leave."

Consort Chen bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Consort Liu and Consort Wang quickly bowed and withdrew.

"Your Majesty, Consort Chen has gone too far!" Xiao Tao almost wanted to throw away the epiphyllum in her hand.

Chu Yue smiled faintly: "Don't worry about it. I am now a thorn in their side. Consort Chen was chosen by the Empress Dowager, so naturally she is on the Empress Dowager's side."

"Isn't it too tiring to care so much about such a small thing?"

"Let's go back. Hold the flowers tight and take care of them when we get home. We can enjoy them again later."

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Xiao Tao and Xiao Ju exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and agreed to listen to the Empress.
