Chapter 438 The Disliked Empress 3
When Mu Beiqing heard this, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Yan with great suspicion.
Yuyan also raised her beautiful face at this time, and looked at Mu Beiqing nonchalantly, with a hint of sneer on the corner of her mouth, watching him state the facts.
"Your Majesty, don't be surprised. As the queen, it is my duty to fill your harem."
Mu Beiqing was choked by Yu Yan's words, and he also realized that he had misunderstood her just now, and his face looked a little embarrassed at this moment.
He looked at Yu Yan and snorted coldly again, then he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yu Yan again.
Yuyan stroked the cat gently in her hand, walked back to the main seat in the hall and sat down, then looked at Mu Beiqing and continued.
"Your Majesty, it just so happens that you are here, so I will report to you. Last night, I went to the Queen Mother to ask for an imperial decree to summon Chu Xingyue, the daughter of the Jingzhao prefect, to the palace to accompany the emperor. The imperial decree should have just reached the Chu family girl by now."
Chu Xingyue is Mu Beichen's white moonlight. Although her status is not very noble, she is from a family of officials after all. She is also favored by the emperor, so she could have entered the palace and been named a concubine.
But Chu Xingyue was proud and arrogant, and only wanted to be the queen. She told Mu Beiqing that if she couldn't be the queen, she would rather not enter the harem.
Mu Beiqing was pleased with her and believed that he loved her deeply and was unwilling to force her.
Therefore, in the past few years, Mu Beiqing could only rely on collecting women who looked similar to her and pampering them to comfort himself.
It was also for this reason that Mu Beiqing hated the original owner even more. He hated that the original owner had taken away the position of queen and prevented him from marrying his beloved woman into the palace with the ceremony of queen.
Yuyan was speechless! This Mu Beiqing is really a typical example of a bitch and a stand-up guy!
He married the original owner for the throne, but he hated her because he couldn't be with his white moonlight. It seems that the original owner was a big victim!
But Yuyan has a good heart and knows that lovers in the world will eventually get married. This is the correct way to open sweet love! How can we be sadomasochistic? This is not allowed.
Moreover, Yuyan also knew that before long, the heroine would change her mind and be welcomed into the palace by Mu Beiqing as a noble concubine.
In that case, she might as well do him a favor and ask the Queen Mother for an imperial decree in advance to help him welcome Chu Xingyue into the palace so that the two lovers could finally get married and the mission could get to the point faster.
When Mu Beiqing heard Yu Yan's words, his expression instantly darkened, and his sharp gaze shot towards Yu Yan, his eyes full of coldness and disdain.
"Yuyan, what on earth do you want to do by interfering in other people's affairs? Do you think that if you let Xingyue enter the palace, you can bully her at will in the future? Do you think that if you do this, I will be grateful to you and accept your kindness? You are dreaming."
Facing Mu Beiqing's murderous gaze, Yu Yan smiled indifferently and said casually.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I just know that you care about the girl of the Chu family and I can't bear that you can't get her, so I want to relieve your worries. Did I misunderstand? What should I do? Or should I just say that the girl of the Chu family is not to your liking and send her back directly?"
“…………”Mu Beiqing clenched his fists and his face turned even darker.
However, it would be a good choice if he could use the Queen Mother's decree to summon Xingyue into the palace. This would not only relieve his lovesickness, but also prevent Xingyue from blaming him. It is a best of both worlds solution.
However, because it was Yuyan who brought up this matter, although Mu Beiqing was happy in his heart, he always felt that Yuyan's motives were not pure. He squinted his eyes and looked at Yuyan for a moment, and said sarcastically.
"Do you think I will look up to you if you do this? You just want to take this opportunity to humiliate Xingyue. I will never let you succeed."
After saying this, he spoke loudly to the chief eunuch beside him.
"Go, pass on my decree to confer the title of Consort Chu on the daughter of the Chu family, and welcome her into the palace with the ceremony of a consort."
After saying this, he looked at Yu Yan provocatively, as if he was supporting Chu Xingyue.
Yuyan raised her hand to stop Manager Li who was about to announce the decree. She was about to speak to Mu Beiqing but was interrupted by him again.
Mu Beiqing looked at Yu Yan's behavior with a fierce look in his eyes, and he bombarded her with words as if he had eaten dynamite.
"Yuyan, what do you want to do? I am the king of a country, don't I even have the right to appoint a concubine? Are you going to disobey me? I'm telling you, Xingyue is the concubine, I have given her the title. Isn't this what you asked for? Why are you trying to stop me now?"
"Your Majesty, I had no other intention in stopping Eunuch Li. I just wanted to tell you that you cannot confer the title of concubine on Chu Xingyue." Yu Yan said in a kind voice.
"How can I not be given a title? I am the emperor, how can I not even be given a title of concubine?" When Mu Beiqing heard this, his anger soared and his voice was so loud that it shook the sky.
Yuyan raised her hand and rubbed her ears with a look of disgust.
Why is this person so noisy? Can you please let me finish what I'm saying? It's so annoying.
How did this bastard become the emperor? Was it by luck or halo?
Yu Yan rolled her eyes silently, and then, amid Mu Beiqing's endless questioning, she spoke calmly and concisely.
"Because the Queen Mother has already made the Chu family's daughter a noble concubine."
It is indeed inappropriate for you to demote her to a concubine. Not only will you slap the empress dowager in the face, but you are also not afraid of hurting the heart of your own Bai Yueguang.
Mu Beiqing's chatter suddenly came to a halt, and he was forced to swallow back the words he was about to scold Yu Yan. His face was full of hues and he looked extremely embarrassed.
Mu Beiqing wanted to walk away at that moment, but before leaving, he still maintained his dignity and warned Yu Yan.
"Yuyan, I warn you, after Xingyue enters the palace, you'd better not try to bully her, otherwise I can either confer you a title or depose you, so you better decide for yourself!"
Yuyan bowed her head and saw him off respectfully, her eyes almost rolling to the back of her head.
If you are so capable, why didn't you give up the throne and live with your beloved Bai Yueguang? Now you are acting like a big shot, which is really disgusting.
Because of the Empress Dowager's decree, the girl from the Chu family entered the palace at noon and served the Empress Dowager that night.
In the following month, Mu Beiqing doted on her every night.
Before Chu Xingyue entered the palace, Mu Beiqing treated everyone equally, so the harem was generally harmonious.
This harmony was suddenly broken at this moment, and the entire harem was instantly filled with jealousy.
The concubines didn't even see Mu Beiqing for a whole month. They were very angry and privately cursed Chu Xingyue as a vixen.
Yuyan was too lazy to care about their trivial matters. She kept the palace gates closed all day and lived her own life.
Moreover, since Chu Xingyue entered the palace, the emperor exempted her from paying respects to Yuyan, the Empress Dowager.
Yuyan didn't care. She waved her hand and exempted all the concubines in the harem from paying their respects in the morning.
It was just right for her to sleep until she woke up naturally, play with the cat and appreciate the flowers during the day, and read a storybook in the afternoon. Her life was so comfortable.
