Chapter 34 Qin Le'an's attempt to seduce the emperor fails.
Qin Jiuwei saw the surprised expression on his face and spoke up to comfort him.
"Don't worry, I'll handle this."
Seeing the gentle smile on Qin Jiuwei's face, Xie Jing immediately responded politely, "Then thank you very much, Mother."
However, I've thought about it for a long time, but I really can't come up with a clever solution.
The new mother is a good person, but how is she going to handle this situation?
Qin Jiuwei knew Xie Jing's concerns.
It's alright, he'll find out tomorrow.
-
At this moment, in the imperial palace.
Qin Le'an was sitting in front of the mirror, getting ready.
She still lives in the same dilapidated house she lived in when she first entered the palace.
However, there were also palace maids and eunuchs serving him at this time.
Although Consort Xian wanted to mistreat her, she wouldn't really treat her like a deposed concubine in the cold palace.
Her allowance was delivered in full that evening.
However, they were either short of weight or all the worst quality products.
Qin Le'an was so angry that she threw a huge tantrum, and it wasn't until today that she calmed down.
Because tonight, she will be able to see the Emperor!
"My lady, would you like to wear this hairpin?" Donglian carefully held up a gold hairpin.
Qin Le'an glanced at it and raised his chin slightly.
"Yes, I want the biggest, shiniest, and brightest hairpin!"
She knew that in her previous life, Qin Jiuwei had met the Emperor by chance in the Imperial Garden today.
She even invited the emperor to her palace for tea!
Although the Emperor did not favor her after that, everyone in the palace knew that the Emperor only favored Consort Chen.
Qin Jiuwei was already quite capable to be able to invite the Emperor to her palace for tea.
After that night, everyone in the palace couldn't help but look at her with more respect.
Now that she and Qin Jiuwei have been arranged to marry, this excellent opportunity is hers!
If she could invite the emperor to her palace, he would surely feel sorry for her when he saw that she lived in such a dilapidated place.
Then we'll just bestow upon her a large and luxurious palace!
Qin Le'an felt a surge of joy at the thought.
Turning his head, he saw Donglian's slow movements and couldn't help but frown and scold her sternly.
"What are you doing! Hurry up! You can't even handle such a small thing!"
Donglian trembled with fright and quickly replied, "Yes, yes."
Royal Garden.
Qin Le'an was dressed in a gorgeous bright red palace gown, with large peony flowers embroidered on the hem.
Her long hair was styled into an elaborate bun, adorned with jewels that swayed as she moved.
Her face was adorned with exquisite makeup, and her lips were painted a vibrant, luscious red.
She held a round fan in her hand, her eyes darting around.
Soon, she caught sight of a bright yellow figure, and her eyes lit up.
The Emperor has arrived! Her chance has finally come!
Gao Xian looked at the red figure approaching him, his slightly raised eyebrows furrowed, and his voice was icy.
"Where did this big red flower come from that has become a spirit?"
"Your Majesty, that is Consort Qin," Eunuch Chen said softly.
Gao Xian suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a person.
They were originally chosen to come to the palace so that Consort Xian could have some fun.
Gao Xian hated this kind of vulgar woman the most. When he saw Qin Le'an dressed like this, his eyes were full of disgust.
He turned to leave, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of Consort Xian walking towards him.
Gao Xian suddenly stopped, his eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in them.
When Qin Le'an saw the Emperor, a radiant smile bloomed on her face.
She knew it! This opportunity was hers!
Qin Le'an walked up to Gao Xian, leaned down gracefully, and spoke in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."
Gao Xian glanced at her, his eyes deep and cold, like the water of a frozen pool.
He said indifferently, "Get up."
Qin Le'an looked up at Gao Xian's handsome features, and her heart couldn't help but pound wildly.
She quickly came up with a plan. She pretended to stumble, let out a soft cry, and leaned her whole body towards Gao Xian.
Gao Xian originally wanted to step aside and let Qin Le'an fall down on his own.
But when he caught sight of Consort Xian approaching them, he reached out and helped her.
The moment Gao Xian touched Qin Le'an's body, his brows furrowed even more, and the disgust in his eyes almost overflowed.
He quickly withdrew his hand, as if he had touched something unclean.
Qin Le'an sensed the Emperor's aloofness and his heart tightened.
But she still wouldn't give up, trying to elicit his pity with a soft voice: "Your Majesty, my feet hurt so much..."
Before she could finish speaking, a woman's voice, filled with gritted teeth, suddenly rang in her ears.
"Qin Changzai! I didn't expect to see you here!"
Qin Le'an felt a chill run down his spine.
Consort Xian! Why is she here?!
Consort Xian narrowed her eyes coldly. She had just arrived when she saw Qin Le fall down and crawl into the Emperor's arms!
And the emperor actually helped her up!
Consort Xian felt incredibly bitter; the Emperor had never even helped her up!
That little slut dared to seduce the Emperor in broad daylight right in front of her!
Just wait and see how she deals with her!
Consort Xian took a deep breath, composed herself, and walked to the Emperor's side.
She bowed and greeted the Emperor.
Gao Xian glanced at her casually. "Get up."
Consort Xian spoke softly, but with a hint of barely perceptible jealousy: "Your Majesty, I have been copying scriptures recently, intending to present them to the Empress Dowager, and I am in need of an assistant."
"Your Majesty finds that Sister Qin is quite clever. I wonder if Your Majesty would allow her to accompany me to help copy scriptures?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Le'an panicked instantly. She hadn't forgotten the thirty lashes the Consort Xian had given her last time!
"Your Majesty..." Qin Le'an immediately looked at Gao Xian with pleading eyes.
Unexpectedly, Gao Xian didn't even glance at her, and said directly, "What my beloved concubine says is absolutely right, then let her go with you."
Qin Le'an's heart sank instantly upon hearing these words.
She's here to seduce the Emperor!
As a result, the Virtuous Consort has taken notice of him, and now he has to copy scriptures!
But at this moment she dared not disobey the emperor's order, and could only force a smile and reply, "It is my honor to serve Consort Xian."
The Empress Dowager's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Let's go, Sister Qin."
Gao Xian smiled slightly; both problems were now solved at the same time.
After watching the two figures disappear, he ordered, "Go to Consort Chen's place."
When he mentioned the name Consort Chen, a deep tenderness flashed in his eyes.
His Consort Chen was unlike any other woman in the world.
She is the most special one.
The next day.
"You shall handle this matter personally and deliver it to Wutong Academy."
Qin Jiuwei handed a letter to Xiaohe.
Xie Jing left Wutong Academy three months ago.
Now, if he wants to go back, it wouldn't be difficult for him given his status.
However, some procedures still need to be followed.
Xiaohe knew this was a big deal for Xie Jing, so she took the letter and immediately went out.
Things were done quickly; Xiaohe returned in less than an hour.
With a broad smile on her face, she said, "Miss, everything has been taken care of."
"Headmaster Wang was very happy to hear that Young Master Jing was coming back to school."
"He said that Young Master Jing can go directly to the academy tomorrow, as his position has been reserved."
Xiaohe took out a booklet and handed it to Qin Jiuwei.
"This was given to me by Headmaster Wang. He said it was the academy's curriculum for the past three months, and that Young Master Jing could review some of it tonight to avoid falling behind in class tomorrow."
Qin Jiuwei glanced at the thick pages of the book and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
Indeed, no teacher would dislike a smart and studious child like Xie Jing.
She felt relieved to have Xie Jingneng entrusted to such an old gentleman.
The other side room.
"Young Master Jing, this is a message that the young mistress just sent in, saying that you can go to the academy to study tomorrow."
"There are also books, which were also sent by the young mistress. She said they were given to her by Headmaster Wang of Wutong Academy."
Shu Rong's voice was both joyful and cheerful.
She knew that telling the young mistress was definitely the right thing to do!
