The emperor quickly regained his composure, comforting her as he pat her shoulder, “No, it was just a bit strange. Ying’er, say, why do you think it should be Qingwu, that child?”
“I’d only heard recently that Miss Lou caused not only the second prince and the third prince to have a few disagreements, but even the Night Prince, the empress dowager &h.e.l.lip; all seemed to not be too happy. At this time, if the emperor takes in Miss Lou into your palace, wouldn’t you be able to solve the fight between the princes and make the empress dowager happy? If Miss Lou even gets pregnant with the dragon seed, then that’d even be two birds with one stone, wouldn’t that just be fantastic?
“....” The emperor heard this and became silent.
Consort Ying couldn’t guess what the emperor was thinking so she could only finish speaking and wait for him.
The emperor kept thinking and thinking.
His impression of Lou Qingwu seemed to have paused at the night of the banquet, he only remembered her small, lowered face was exceptionally exquisite but her expression wasn’t too clear.
He narrowed his eyes as he continued to think, seriously considering consort Ying’s way of thinking.
He’d heard about what consort Ying did to Lou Qingwu at the hibiscus flower festival, playing those little schemes on her.
As long as it didn’t hurt anyone too seriously, he didn’t mind too much.
It wasn’t too hard for him to think that she had some other small motives for proposing this, but it let a little seed in him bud.
If at this time, he took in a consort and if someone fell pregnant, then it would prove that he was still young and that it wasn’t time to t.i.tle a crown prince yet.
He coldly looked up, narrowing his eyes viciously before admiringly, agreeing.
Consort Ying snuck a peek at him, her uneasy eyes falling on the emperor’s somber face that slowly grew into a smile.
Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed like, she was nearly half way there to accomplishing what she wanted.
Not too long later, when the emperor took in Lou Qingwu as a consort, then she’d be able to see how the empress would treat this woman who was formerly a candidate for her daughter-in-law suddenly become her love rival!
HAHAHA!
This was truly satisfying for everyone!
Outside of Liuhua palace, there was a sudden movement.
Consort Ying’s brows furrowed, “Who’s outside?”
From outside, a slithering sound accompanied with the sound of someone dropping to their knees, “This servant just wanted to ask if the emperor and consort Ying were about to rest?”
“No need! Wait outside!”
Hearing that it was her palace’s Qiao Mei, consort Ying let out a breath.
At this time, a pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her waist.
Consort Ying looked up to see a close-up of the emperor’s face. She suddenly froze before smiling brilliantly, her jade arms hooking against the emperor’s neck &h.e.l.lip;
Outside of the palace hall, the palace servant who was kneeling outside, suddenly heard the moans from inside the hall.
She lowered her eyes before soundlessly standing up and looking in all four directors, then retreated quietly.
Two hours later, inside the Leaning Wind Pavilion, Thousand Face appeared in Lou Qingwu’s room again.
“Master, Qiao Mei reported some &h.e.l.lip; news.”
“En? What is it?” Lou Qingwu looked up, her eyes falling on Thousand Face’s somber expression as her brows slightly furrowed, “Bad news?”
“It’s not that good.” When Thousand Face received the news, he had an impulse to charge into consort Ying’s palace and chop her to death.
After all, his master had saved consort Ying’s life before, but now?
Imperial consort Ruan had only coaxed her with a few words, and now she was repaying his master’s kindness with hatred!
“What did Qiao Mei say?”
“She said &h.e.l.lip; consort Ying raised the suggestion of the emperor taking in a consort.”
“Oh?” Lou Qingwu slightly narrowed her eyes, “I’m someone they’re considering to take as a consort?”
“En?! Master, how did you know?” Thousand Face was shocked.
“I could tell by just seeing your face. This time, Xiahou Qing was quite clever. Not only is he able to rile up the second prince’s frustration, so that the instant he goes to the emperor, the emperor will grow furious. Furthermore, once the palace has a new consort, that means a new prince will be born. The emperor will have another excuse to not t.i.tle a crown prince.” This two birds with one stone was really an excellent scheme.
Lou Qingwu lightly described it as Thousand Face’s eyes grew wider, unable to angrily spit out, “Master, why don’t we just kill that consort Ying?”
