{BL} The emperor's bed minister

Chapter 9: Want to blackmail lover's charm tricks by exchanging scholars' life

"I heard that the emperor was at my sister's place a few days ago, and suddenly went to the imperial study in the middle of the night. My sister was surprised, thinking that something big happened in the court. Who knows that after waiting quietly for these days, I didn't hear anything happened. Sister He was the one who served the emperor that night. Do you know what's wrong with this?"

Concubine Yan Li Qingyu was sitting under Concubine Luo Xu Ruolan. Beside her and opposite were several other concubines. The queen was weak and sick, and did not care about the affairs of the harem, which also spared the concubines from having to worry about each other in the morning and dusk. Apart from the queen, Concubine Luo Shu had the most respectable status among the concubines, so the other concubines came to pay their respects every day.

The reason why Li Qingyu dared to be so arrogant and clearly refused to give Xu Ruolan face was because she was also Xia Linxuan's favorite concubine.

However, her status is one level lower than Concubine Luo Shu, and she is the Concubine Xian. There are four levels of concubines in the harem of the Daimyo Empire. From low to high, they are: Chang concubine, Xian concubine, Shu concubine, and noble concubine. After that, there is the imperial concubine, which is equivalent to the position of the deputy concubine, jumping out of the concubine level. Above the deputy concubine, there is the supreme queen.

Nowadays, the affairs in the harem are jointly managed by Concubine Luo and Concubine Yan. The Queen Mother is a good old woman and does not ask about the affairs of the harem all year round, so the two highest-ranking concubines naturally take on this responsibility. The relationship between these two, you can imagine the undercurrent.

At that moment, other concubines heard that the emperor went to the royal study room in the middle of the night. This was obviously because Concubine Luo was not charming enough to retain the emperor. They couldn't help but feel a little gloating in their hearts, but they were frightened by Concubine Luo's authority and did not dare to laugh anymore. So, they all bowed their heads and drank tea.

But Xu Ruolan smiled brightly and said:

"Why are you asking me, sister? Didn't the emperor rest in your palace the day before yesterday? Why don't you ask the emperor? Really, I was so tired after torturing me until midnight that I couldn't speak. He reminds me of government affairs."

The meaning of these words is also very clear: Although the emperor left after midnight, it was not that I couldn't keep him, but because he kept me so late, I didn't have the strength to keep him.

The expressions of the concubines all changed, and Li Qingyu was no exception. The emperor had sex with his concubines until midnight. This should only be possible with extreme pampering. At least none of the concubines present had ever had this honor. Their emperor had great self-control. Simply perfect.

"Sister, are you joking? In the middle of the night?"

Li Qingyu raised his eyebrows and took a sip of tea calmly.

"Sister, you can ask the emperor, am I still exaggerating this kind of thing?"

After Xu Ruolan finished speaking, she also picked up the teacup and took a sip, but her mind was spinning rapidly. Thinking about the news she had received before, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. Then, she put down the teacup and said with a smile:

"Yes, I am. I was also about to ask my sister, when the emperor went to your place to spend the night the day before yesterday, didn't he mention the arrangements for New Year's Eve? I heard before that the emperor seemed to want to leave someone to live in the Yangxin Palace."

"Who is it?"

This question was asked by the concubines in unison: The Yangxin Palace never lets concubines stay overnight, let alone live there. If it is true as Concubine Luo said, how much favor does that woman deserve from the emperor? Even if it is to directly make the emperor a noble concubine, I am afraid it is not impossible.
