Chapter 134 I Want to Be the Queen Mother (27)
Qin Yu took Fang Ruoyan into the palace. Although Fang Ruoyan was nominally a noble concubine, the canonization ceremony had not yet been held.
Fang Ruoyan was so complacent in order to intimidate Fang Qingci. She specifically told Qin Yu that Fang Qingci would not be given a chance to pay respects to the queen until she was crowned.
Fang Ruoyan was still thinking that if Fang Qingci couldn't help causing trouble for her, she would definitely slap her hard in the face to vent the resentment she had been holding back for so many years.
Qin Yu didn't like Fang Qingci in the first place, and their relationship had been distant for many years. Qin Yu agreed to Fang Ruoyan's harmless little request without hesitation.
So even though Fang Ruoyan entered the palace, she did not appear in front of the people in the harem. Everyone only heard her voice but did not see her.
Unfortunately, Fang Ruoyan did not wait for Fang Qingci, but waited for Chen Yao who could no longer wait.
Chen Yao was so angry that a woman from the common people actually surpassed her and took a higher position than her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but ran to Xianyun Palace to see what kind of beauty could have fascinated Qin Yu like this, and then she met Fang Ruoyan.
After seeing the person, Chen Yao was shocked and started arguing with Fang Ruoyan.
But with Chen Yao's scheming, she was obviously no match for Fang Ruoyan, and then she was attacked by Qin Yu.
Chen Yao was so angry, but she didn't dare to disobey Qin Yu, so she ran to Fang Qingci angrily.
After hearing what Chen Yao said, Fang Qingci nodded involuntarily.
Isn’t Qin Yu crazy?
No, it should be said that he was too proud. Qin Yu's first half of his life could be said to be smooth sailing. His mother was a favored imperial concubine, and his father loved him. He was respected and admired since he was a child. The only setback he suffered was probably watching his beloved marry someone else! I don't know if this is the reason why he is so obsessed with Fang Ruoyan.
Although there were some surprises when he seized the throne, he succeeded to the throne smoothly in the end. The smooth sailing experience made Qin Yu a little complacent.
Did he really love Fang Ruoyan so much that he was willing to risk the world's condemnation for her? Fang Qingci thought that was not necessarily the case.
Qin Yu just wanted to use Fang Ruoyan's incident to show his pride.
However, although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud. Before things were done, Fang Qingci still had to pretend.
"Please be careful with your words, Concubine Shu. The decision made by the Emperor is not something we can change."
I don't know if it's because she was protected too well by Concubine Hui, but Chen Yao, this naive girl, has only grown older but not smarter over the years. She doesn't realize that now that Concubine Hui is gone, her situation is different now. She is still carefree and outspoken.
"Did I say anything wrong? They were not right in the first place. Do you think I should just swallow my anger? On what basis can Fang Ruoyan, a married woman, enter the palace and be ranked as a noble concubine? I am the emperor's legitimate concubine, but I have to be ranked lower than such a person. It really makes me angry.
The emperor is so confused. I don’t know what he likes about that woman. She is not even as pretty as you! I don’t know why the emperor was so fascinated that he lost his sense of propriety and took her into the palace regardless of her reputation. "Chen Yao was so angry that she kept muttering and complaining.
Fang Qingci: ...
Chen Yao's mouth! Should she be happy that she was praised for being beautiful?
After saying a lot, Chen Yao paused, and suddenly realized that Fang Qingci's reaction was a little wrong, too calm. If she was so angry, then Fang Ruoyan was still Fang Qingci's sister, how could she not be angry? She raised her head and looked at Fang Qingci in confusion.
"Empress, did you know this a long time ago?"
Fang Qingci shook his head in bewilderment. "Ah! No!"
"Then why are you so calm? Fang Ruoyan is your sister, but she got together with the emperor. Aren't you angry?"
Chen Yao rarely turned her head, which had always been used as a decoration, and looked at Fang Qingci in confusion.
Fang Qingci still had that nonchalant expression on her face, with a smile on her face, and said very virtuously, "There's nothing to be angry about. As long as the emperor likes it." That expression was as magnanimous as it could be.
Chen Yao choked, and inexplicably understood the complicated feelings of Concubine Hui at the beginning. The more virtuous Fang Qingci acted, the more she felt choked. But she couldn't tell what was wrong. Hmm... the Queen seemed to have always been so virtuous.
Seeing that Fang Qingci was not on the same side with her, Chen Yao was a little disappointed. She suddenly thought of Concubine Hui. Thinking that Concubine Hui had just passed away, Chen Yao's expression became a little sad. "If only my aunt was here, my aunt would definitely not let the emperor do whatever he wanted."
As she spoke, Chen Yao looked at Fang Qingci with a look of disappointment, as if she was accusing her of being useless.
Then Chen Yao was fired by Fang Qing.
Even though she was pretending, she didn't want to be seen as a fool.
Fang Qingci also knew that Fang Ruoyan was pregnant now, which was one of the reasons why Qin Yu couldn't wait to bring Fang Ruoyan into the palace.
But what Qin Yu didn't know was that the baby in Fang Ruoyan's belly was actually Prince An's.
How should I put it? Prince An, the sixth son, is unyielding in his pursuit of the throne.
He had a deep resentment towards Qin Yu. On the one hand, he was indeed afraid that Qin Yu would make things difficult for him just because Fang Ruoyan disliked him. On the other hand, he also wanted to step on Qin Yu and avenge the humiliation of cuckolding him.
But Qin Yu's throne is still very stable for now. Prince An does not have enough power to confront Qin Yu head-on. Since the open way doesn't work, he will do it secretly.
This time he planned to use a trick to replace the original with the fake one, pretending to attack the enemy but secretly attacking Chencang.
The first step is to make Fang Ruoyan pregnant with his child, the second step is to let Qin Yu recognize the child and take Fang Ruoyan into the palace to obtain a legitimate identity. The third step is to wait for Fang Ruoyan to give birth to the heir, and then he will use Fang Ruoyan to poison Qin Yu and get rid of Qin Yu, and then he will support the child to inherit Qin Yu's throne.
All in all, the idea is beautiful.
Well... Fang Qingci understood Prince An very well, because she thought the same way.
Half a month later, Fang Ruoyan's enthronement ceremony took place.
Fang Ruoyan was wearing a gorgeous imperial concubine's uniform, decorated with jewels and precious stones, and she brought people to Kunning Palace to meet Fang Qingci in a menacing manner.
"Your concubine... Fang... pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen!" Fang Ruoyan had a smug smile on her face. She bowed her knees perfunctorily to Fang Qingci and stood up without waiting for Fang Qingci to call her.
In order to show her momentum, Fang Ruoyan straightened her neck, raised her chin slightly, and glanced at Fang Qingci gently. Her posture looked like a rooster that had won a battle.
Fang Qingci found it a little funny and looked at her with his chin propped up. "Fang Ruoyan!"
"Sister, do you like this surprise from me?" Fang Ruoyan looked at Fang Qingci proudly.
Fang Qingci just glanced at her calmly with a mocking smile in his eyes, "What do you think?"
