Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 357 Cold-blooded, childless emperor × Pregnant imperial concubine 15

Feng'an Palace

“Your Majesty…” Hongyu helped the beautiful Chuyue up from the bathtub. Looking at Chuyue’s alluring figure, she blushed a little: “Your Majesty is so beautiful.”

Bai Lu chuckled to herself: "Your Majesty, please ignore her."

"Naughty."

Chu Yue gently raised her jade-like arm, and Hongyu and Bailu helped her put on a gauze dress, revealing her fair and smooth skin.

Hongyu even loosened the thin straps of her blouse a little more.

Chu Yue sighed helplessly, "It fell off in a moment."

“Your Majesty, it won’t happen.” Hongyu and Bailu helped her out.

The emperor had been waiting for a long time. When he heard the noise, he looked up and his pupils contracted.

"This servant takes her leave..." Hongyu and Bailu quickly withdrew.

"My beloved concubine, come here." The emperor's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Chu Yue's porcelain-white face was already flushed. Since she recovered, the emperor had not touched her yet. The emperor came early today, and the meaning was self-evident.

That's why Hongyu and Bailu went to great lengths to dress her up. Her clothes were loose and baggy, and when she walked to the emperor's side, the thin gauze skirt slipped down her shoulders, revealing half of her slender shoulder.

The emperor reached out and put his arm around her waist, placing her on his lap, while using his other hand to gather her fallen clothes: "My beloved concubine is very beautiful."

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue hid in the emperor's arms and refused to look up.

The emperor's heartbeat reverberated in Chu Yue's ears, making her heart race as well. Chu Yue rubbed her head, trying to get away from the deafening heartbeat.

"My beloved concubine, can't wait any longer?" The emperor tensed up as the person in his arms nuzzled him.

Chu Yue paused, then raised her head in confusion: "Your Majesty..."

"My beloved consort is so enthusiastic, I will certainly cherish her well."

The emperor picked up Chu Yue and placed her on the bed, then casually swept away the layers of curtains.

Her gauze dress barely covered her fair skin, and Chu Yue subtly dodged away, half-concealing her face like a pipa player.

The emperor acted swiftly, taking off his nightgown as he bent down, looking down at Chu Yue: "My beloved concubine, are you avoiding me?"

"No...no..." Chu Yue hummed softly.

The emperor chuckled softly and kissed the alluring lips of the person beneath him.

Once it started, it was out of control. The emperor had been holding back for a long time, fearing that the imperial concubine would resist, but today he could no longer restrain himself.

"Your Majesty...be gentle." Chu Yue finally had a chance to speak while the emperor lingered on her shoulder, kissing her tenderly.

"I will."

After a soothing utterance that was as mute as could be, the emperor had no time to speak again, his tenderness overwhelming Chu Yue.

"Well……"

……

"Your Majesty, since Consort Gu was released from confinement, she often throws tantrums for no reason, either beating or scolding palace servants or smashing porcelain," Hongyu whispered to Chuyue, describing the situation in the palace.

"What did the Empress Dowager say?" Chu Yue reclined on the chaise longue, her eyes half-closed.

Hongyu knelt down and gently patted her legs: "The Empress Dowager is devoted to Buddhism, and His Majesty, in order to allow her to recuperate in peace, did not allow these messages to reach her."

"How could the Empress Dowager not know what's going on in the palace? She's just too lazy to care." There aren't many concubines, but there are plenty of troubles. That's why the Empress Dowager is using the excuse of worshipping Buddha to stay in Xiu'an Palace and not come out.

“Consort Wang is useless now, Consort Li is quiet and well, but Consort Gu is still causing trouble,” Hongyu said somewhat angrily.

"You," Chu Yue said playfully, but without any hint of reproach.

"Your Majesty, do you think His Majesty will hold another selection of concubines?" Hongyu certainly hoped that her mistress would be favored and that there would be no other women, but how could His Majesty not hold a selection of concubines?

"That depends on His Majesty's decision."

However, the emperor cannot hold a selection of concubines, and only Chu Yue can cure his health problems.

What the emperor desired most was... offspring.

Chu Yue gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen, here...

"Your Majesty, don't be sad. You've recovered, and you'll have another prince."

Hongyu thought Chuyue was reminded of something sad, so she quickly comforted her.

Chu Yue smiled and said, "Okay..."

"Your Majesty, let me help you go for a walk. The weather is nice."

"Um……"

The two arrived at the Imperial Garden hand in hand. The Hundred Flowers Pavilion had already been demolished. Chu Yue paused slightly and took a few more glances.

"Your Highness, don't look here, let's go over there." Hongyu said as she helped Chuyue walk to the other side.

Chu Yue was the only high-ranking concubine in the palace, and all the palace servants bowed respectfully to her.

Hongyu slightly raised her chin and stood up straight.

Chu Yue chuckled softly, "Mischievous again?"

“Your Majesty…” Hongyu moved closer to Chuyue and whispered, “If His Majesty didn’t hold a selection of concubines, Your Majesty would be the most important person.”

"You can only say this to me, so that no one can use it against you."

"This servant knows, this servant only dares to speak to Your Highness." Hongyu knew her limits.

"Um……"

"This concubine greets Your Highness, the Noble Consort..." Consort Gu walked over from the opposite side.

Chu Yue stopped in her tracks, her expression turning colder.

The palace is so big, you're bound to run into the things you least want to encounter.

Consort Gu's expression was also unpleasant. Her former maid had become a Noble Consort, and she had to bow and scrape before her. Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that situation.

Chu Yue lost interest in an instant and said indifferently, "I have other matters to attend to. Consort Gu may leave now."

This attitude immediately angered Consort Gu.

"You think becoming a Noble Consort will erase your origins? I will always be your mistress," Consort Gu said angrily. "How long can His Majesty tolerate your arrogance in front of me?"

Chu Yue looked at Consort Gu as if she were an idiot. Had she gone mad from being confined for a month?

As soon as he got in front of her, he started yelling.

"Utterly foolish." Chu Yue said this and turned to leave.

Consort Gu was stunned for a moment, then, realizing what was happening, shouted angrily, "Stop!"

Chu Yue didn't want to pay attention and ignored the shouts behind her.

Consort Gu's face alternated between black and white. She couldn't control herself. When she was confined to her quarters, she was almost insane. When she ran into Chu Yue just now, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart no matter what.

How could she bear to see her palace maids repeatedly climb above her?

"You stop!"

Consort Gu rushed over and pulled Chu Yue. Caught off guard, Chu Yue stumbled several times.

"Consort Gu!" Hongyu anxiously protected Chu Yue: "What are you doing? How dare you touch the Imperial Concubine?"

Consort Gu gripped Chu Yue's wrist tightly, gritting her teeth as she said, "What can't I do? I'm just a palace maid. Relying on His Majesty's favor, have you forgotten your mistress?"

"Let go." Chu Yue's eyes revealed her annoyance as she looked coldly at Consort Gu.

"The Imperial Concubine is abusing the Emperor's favor and bullying the other concubines. Who do you think His Majesty will side with?"

From Gu Pin's direction, she could see that the Emperor was already approaching in the distance. She gripped Chu Yue's hand even tighter, waiting for His Majesty to get closer and closer so that she could see clearly how the Imperial Concubine was pushing her.

"Consort Gu, let go!" Hongyu was so anxious she was almost crying.

Chu Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and she sneered as she curled the corners of her lips. Consort Gu was confused from being imprisoned, so let her die knowing why.

"Ah..." Gu Pin suddenly felt a sharp pain in her arm. She subconsciously let go of Chu Yue's hand, took a few steps back in a flustered manner, and hurriedly covered her arm.

Chu Yue was thrown aside and stumbled to the ground, groaning...

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Your Majesty..." Hongyu turned pale with fright and hurriedly helped Chuyue up.
