Chapter 127 Losing the Emperor's Favor
Chapter 127 Losing the Emperor's Favor
Qiao'er supported Zhou Lingge and slowly stood up.
Her eyes were filled with worry. "Your Majesty, you shouldn't have said those words to His Majesty so directly. All men like gentle, kind, and beautiful women..."
No one likes a vicious, cold and cruel woman.
Zhou Lingge smiled nonchalantly. She watched him leave and gradually disappear from her sight, with a cold look between her brows.
"Once the seed of doubt is planted, no matter how I answer, he won't believe it. Instead of continuing to deny and hide it, it's better to reveal everything..."
"If he really likes me, then he should tolerate everything about me. Whether it's good or evil..."
She would take this opportunity to take a good look at Qin Feiling's tolerance for her.
She wanted to test whether he really liked her or just liked her looks.
She was forcing Qin Feiling!
Force him to see her true face, force him to be crazy about her... lose all his persistence and bottom line, and sink just for her!
For several days, Qin Feiling did not set foot in Yuanchen Palace again.
During this period, he went to Yihua Palace and visited Concubine Wan several times.
Concubine Wan was flattered, her eyes filled with joy.
She took care of Qin Feiling carefully and in a very flattering manner.
Qin Feiling looked across at Ye Wanxi, who was smiling brightly, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift away.
What is Ge'er doing now?
He hasn't set foot in Yuanchen Palace for several days. Would she be worried that she would lose the emperor's favor?
Ye Wanxi filled a bowl of chicken soup and brought it to Qin Feiling: "Your Majesty has looked haggard these past few days. You should drink some chicken soup to replenish your body. I have added some human flesh and cordyceps, which are good things for nourishing the body."
Qin Feiling said thank you lightly.
Faced with Ye Wanxi's genuine concern, he was not moved at all. His mind was full of Zhou Lingge... He drank the chicken soup, but it felt like drinking plain water, so bland and tasteless.
He didn't stay in Yihua Palace for long and returned to Wolong Palace.
He was in a bad mood and glanced at Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu looked at Qin Feiling with some confusion: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Feiling looked at Eunuch Liu, who seemed to be completely clueless. He was too lazy to say anything and just gritted his teeth and told him to get out.
Eunuch Liu was terrified and quickly rolled out of the inner hall.
His Majesty has been in a very bad mood these days, losing his temper easily... He starts cursing at the slightest disagreement, making the palace servants serving in the Wolong Palace panic-stricken and uneasy.
Eunuch Liu also knew why His Majesty was like this.
All this is because of Concubine Yu.
His Majesty and Concubine Yu were in a cold war, and Concubine Yu never sent anyone to show concern for His Majesty, and she didn't even offer him a way out.
As soon as he stepped out of the palace door, he heard the sound of things being thrown and smashed from inside.
Eunuch Liu shuddered, and the young eunuch beside him asked cautiously, "Eunuch Liu, why is His Majesty angry again?"
Eunuch Liu sighed and said, "Just pretend you didn't hear anything. We'll go in when His Majesty calls us."
Not long after, Qin Feiling's voice called out from inside: "Come here, bring me some wine."
The palace maids turned pale with fear.
Your Majesty has never drunk alcohol at night.
They looked at Eunuch Liu helplessly.
Eunuch Liu was extremely helpless: "What are you all looking at me for? His Majesty wants wine, send it in quickly."
The palace maids responded immediately.
He immediately brought the wine in respectfully.
Qin Feiling was wearing casual clothes, which were loose and his hair was scattered on his forehead.
The whole person looked extremely decadent and impatient.
The palace servant brought the wine to him, and he picked up the wine jug and poured it directly into his mouth.
The palace maids were terrified and fell to their knees on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
Qin Feiling sneered, his eyes full of mockery.
"She doesn't care about me at all, she doesn't care about me at all."
"What does it matter what my health is like? It's all fake, everything is fake... She's just attracted by my status as an emperor..."
The palace maids were all confused. Who was this "she" referring to?
Qin Feiling drank for half the night and got drunk.
He didn't sleep either, but just looked out the half-open window, looking dejectedly at the dark, starless night sky outside, and kept smiling.
-
The concubines in the palace gradually sensed something strange.
His Majesty, who always frequented Yuanchen Palace and favored Concubine Yu, seemed not to have been to Yuanchen Palace for five or six days.
In the past five or six days, His Majesty went to Yihua Palace every day to have meals with Concubine Wan.
Gradually, rumors began to spread that Zhou Lingge had finally fallen out of favor and that His Majesty now fell in love with Concubine Wan.
Yihua Palace was once extremely prosperous.
The Empress Dowager was very pleased to see this happen. She would reward Concubine Wan with some jewelry from time to time, and would send people to invite Qin Feiling to the Cining Palace for meals from time to time, and let Concubine Wan accompany him.
The situation in the palace changed suddenly.
Those who originally flattered Yuanchen Palace have turned to Yihua Palace.
Zhou Lingge didn't care much about the outside rumors. She ate and drank as usual, appearing very calm and composed.
Chang Hui checked Zhou Lingge's pulse every day as usual.
The baby in her belly is very healthy...the fetus is very stable.
Zhou Lingge sat on the swing in the yard basking in the sun. She closed her eyes and stroked her flat belly with great comfort.
The palace gate was opened a crack. Qin Feiling stood in the corner, looking through the crack at Zhou Lingge who was swinging quietly on the swing.
She wore a light blue gauze palace dress, as light and soft as the first ray of sunshine in the morning. The light blue gauze was like clear lake water, swaying gently in the breeze, emitting a faint luster.
The gown's tailoring is exquisite and elegant, fitting her figure perfectly, showcasing her slender waist and slender figure. The neckline and cuffs are embellished with delicate embroidery, where delicate threads weave into beautiful patterns, resembling a work of art.
She sat on the swing, her body swinging gently, her soft gauze palace dress fluttering in the air with her movements, like a blooming flower. She was so beautiful that she seemed like a fairy walking out of a painting.
He didn't know how long he stood in the corner.
It lasted so long that his body became stiff.
The autumn wind blew, bringing a bit of coolness. Qiao'er took a cloak and wrapped it around Zhou Lingge.
Zhou Lingge glanced casually and suddenly discovered a familiar figure standing in the corner outside the palace gate.
She couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, her lips curled up silently.
Then she slowly pressed it down again.
She suddenly became extremely sad. She sighed and raised her hand to catch a withered yellow leaf that had fallen from somewhere.
"Qiao'er, it's already autumn. Time flies so fast. Before I knew it, I've been in the palace for over a month."
