Volume 1 ◆ The Harem After the Chaos 008 I Want to Seduce the Emperor!

  "What? My plan?" Su Jinping's face was full of confusion.

  That innocent look is really convincing!

  "That's right, it was your plan, you must have anticipated that the Empress would come, so you provoked me into saying those words! No, you should have seen the Empress, so..." Yin Qiuyue had already become incoherent.

  Su Jinping looked wronged: "Yin Meiren, I really didn't know the empress would pass by here, I wasn't always lowering my head just now? And... and..."

  A look of wanting to speak but hesitating.

  "And what else?" He Lian shouted loudly.

  A woman with a strong and heroic appearance bit her teeth: "Moreover, I dare to ask, if Miss Yin didn't have those thoughts in her heart, how could she be provoked by me?"

  "Hmph, playing mind games with her, doesn't she think herself too tender? In the world of assassins, there are many who want to play mind games with her, but without sufficient intelligence, how can one possibly occupy the top spot in the world of assassins?"

  As soon as these words came out, Yin Qiuyue's face turned pale in an instant, and He Liancheng's face also looked quite ugly!

  "Su Jinping, I have no grudge against you, why do you keep speaking ill of me?" Yin Qiuyue knew she could no longer turn the tide, so she stretched out her slender fingers and pointed at Su Jinping with a fierce gesture.

  A woman snorted inwardly, no injustice, no feud? If she hadn't come to find fault on purpose and stuck to it, would she have deserved to be harmed? This person's memory is really bad! But she still put on a very fearful appearance, shrinking back: "Yin Meiren, I also pleaded for you just now. If you hadn't told the Empress that it was my plan, I wouldn't have said so!"

  Obviously telling her that all this is your own fault!

  "Look at you!" Yoon Chae-yeon's anger grew as she watched her pretend to be pitiful.

  "Enough!" He Lianrong shouted, and Su Jinping also knew that yesterday she was beaten by her men to the point of almost losing her breath, but didn't dare to make a sound. What strategy and courage did she have? It was all because of this cheap woman Yin Qiuyue! "Guards, come and take away this arrogant Concubine Yin who dares not respect me. I will report this matter to the Emperor myself!"

  One sentence, and Yin Qiuyue's retreat was completely blocked. She would go to report to the Emperor, so the only person who could save Yin Qiuyue was also gone! Relying on imperial favor? When did the Emperor ever show favor to anyone? How could she rely on imperial favor? But now, refuting back would only make her die a more miserable death!

  "Su Jinping, you wait, I won't let you off!" Yin Qiuyue shrieked as she was dragged away by the guards.

  She glanced at the woman kneeling at her feet and said in a warm voice, "It's good that you know to learn from yesterday's lesson. In the future, don't ever try to follow those cheap women who dare to oppose me. Otherwise, no matter if you're the number one beauty of Dongling or the number one beauty under heaven, I'll make sure you understand who is the real master!"

  "Your Majesty, you...you said this for what, I, I..." Su Jinping seemed to be frightened out of her wits, not knowing what to do.

  That elegant and noble woman rubbed her forehead: "Alright, this palace was also blinded by that cheap person. You are just a small palace maid, what big waves can you make? Alright, get up!"

  "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hong Feng and Su Jinping stood up together, with a humble expression, hands hanging down and bowing.

  He Lianyu led a group of palace maids away...

  Waiting for her to walk far away, Hong Feng turned around and looked at Su Jinping with a profound gaze, mysterious and inexplicable.

  Su Jinping was startled, and she knew she might have been exposed. She immediately covered her chest, looking like she had suffered a great fright: "Auntie, I was really scared to death just now! That Yin Meiren is so vicious, actually wanting to harm me, ugh! If it wasn't for my cleverness in saying a few words that made the Empress see through her sinister plot, I would have been done for!"

  Hong Feng laughed and said, "Alright, you little hoof, be more careful in the future and watch what you say. The masters and noblewomen in this palace are not people we can afford to offend. If you just quietly sweep your floor and live a peaceful life from now on, those noblewomen will also lose interest and won't come looking for you again!"

  It's all because His Majesty praised her as "the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Mausoleum" at the imperial concubine selection banquet, which led to ridicule from Concubine Yin.

  It's a bit strange, the emperor asked me to keep an eye on her, what for? Looking at her like this, she's probably just a little servant girl with some skills, a childlike heart, where does it look like someone who has received instructions! Having been in the palace for a long time, seeing such a clean-hearted person, I naturally also have some affection, so I taught her a few sentences.

  Su Jinping nodded with a frown, then deliberately opened her mouth in dissatisfaction: "Hmph, I know! It's really unfair. We're all human beings, why can they bully us?"

  "Look at you, just now you said you were going, and now you're back! You mentioned the palace..." Hong Feng started muttering to himself.

  A woman bent over sweeping the floor, her eyes filled with barely concealed amusement. Today she finally realized that Hong Feng was a good person, even if he spoke harshly, but had a soft heart.

  "Auntie, do you know how much the Empress's salary is? Wearing such luxurious clothes, she must be getting a lot of money every month!"

  "What are you asking this for? The queen's salary, if I'm not mistaken, should be three thousand taels, right?" Hong Feng said and nodded seriously afterwards, yes, no mistake.

  "What? Is it a thousand times mine?" shouted loudly, with an incredulous face!

  "Why are you yelling so loudly? Which concubine's salary isn't several dozen times ours? Even the lowest-ranking imperial concubine gets twenty taels of silver per month, or else why would everyone want to fly up high and become a phoenix?" By the last sentence, Hong Feng's face had taken on an obvious mocking tone.

  Damn it! I'm done! Su Jinping was so angry that she slammed the broom to the ground and turned around, heading towards the imperial study.

  "Su Jiping, where are you going?" Hong Feng frowned as she looked at her back, "You haven't finished sweeping the floor yet!" What's gotten into her, why did she suddenly throw down the broom?

  "I'm going to seduce the Emperor!" The concubine's silver was so abundant, she also wanted to mix and become a concubine! Anyway, she had nothing better to do and had flipped through "Yao Wu" that guy's transmigration. Generally excellent men would fall in love with the transmigrated female lead, and that unrefined Emperor was also considered half an excellent man, right? He should be easy to seduce too!

  "What?" Hong Feng raised her voice, seriously suspecting that there was something wrong with her ears! To seduce the Emperor? Had Su Jinping gone mad?!

  "By the way, what's the Emperor's name?" He turned his head and looked at her.

  "Prince Hua Fu!"

  After saying the four words, she quickly covered her mouth. She had been in the palace for many years and had never had any unexpected events. Today, she was actually dared to call out the emperor's name by this palace maid! She really didn't want to live anymore!

  "Oh! Got it!" He said and turned his head to continue walking forward.

  "What's the point of asking for the Emperor's name?" She wouldn't be thinking of addressing him directly by his taboo name, would she?

  "That person didn't even turn around and replied: 'Auntie, you don't know this, do you? To shorten the distance between people, it has to start with how we address each other. So I have to be very affectionate when addressing His Majesty, in order for him to fall in love with me as soon as possible!'"

  Hong Feng almost fainted when he heard this, and his mind was left with only one thought - is this person crazy?
