Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 328 A Pure and Ascetic Emperor × A Charming and Beloved Concubine 2

Consort Chu looked extremely beautiful standing under the crabapple tree, but the emperor was lost in thought and did not blame her.

"stand up."

Chu Yue stood up nervously, somewhat at a loss. The emperor then asked, "Do you know how to play chess?"

"I know a little," Chu Yue replied respectfully.

"Come here." A chessboard was placed on the table, and Chu Yue sat opposite the emperor.

The two began playing chess. Of course, Chu Yue knew how to play; she was proficient in all eighteen martial arts. To avoid drawing attention, she pretended to be not very good at it, occasionally pausing to think, and sometimes making a mistake. Then she would humbly ask the emperor for advice, so that the two of them could have something to talk about.

"Is Consort Chu sure you want to take this step?" The emperor asked as Chu Yue was about to lower the flag; she was on the verge of defeat.

"Your Majesty, where should I go?"

Fine, I'll give her another chance, and the emperor will point her in the right direction again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Chu Yue smiled sweetly at the emperor, her eyes crinkling.

The emperor was also able to relax, and he found it easy to spend time with Consort Chu. Before they knew it, half an hour had passed.

When Consort Chu entered Ze'an Palace, the reactions from the various palaces were different.

Yun'an Palace

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Consort Chu has gone to Ze'an Palace." Xiuhua quickly reported to the Empress Dowager upon hearing the news.

The Empress Dowager immediately sat up, exclaiming in surprise, "Really?"

"Your Majesty, His Majesty is the most filial son. If you are worried about him, His Majesty will surely put your mind at ease."

"Tell me, this child..." The Empress Dowager was so happy she almost cried: "My son just doesn't like to talk about it, but he knows it in his heart."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry anymore." Xiuhua's voice was also choked with emotion.

"Hmm... I can finally rest easy." The Empress Dowager stopped resting, and Xiuhua helped her get up to thank the Bodhisattva.

Yichun Palace

"Consort Zhao, Consort Chu has gone to Ze'an Palace," Lingyu, Consort Li's personal maid, reported in a low voice.

Consort Li was flipping through a book, not even looking up: "Consort Chu went by herself?"

"His Majesty encountered Consort Chu in the Imperial Garden and took her with him."

"That Consort Chu is quite lucky."

"Consort Zhao, aren't you worried?" Lingyu was anxious. In the past, there was no movement from the palaces, but now that Consort Chu has broken the peace, why isn't Consort Zhao worried?

"No rush, let's see how things go first."

Lingyu: "..."

Jangrye Palace

"Your Majesty, Consort Chu has gone to Ze'an Palace." Consort Yun's personal maid, Wanxiang, reported the news immediately.

"Let them go, what's the big deal?" Yunfei casually picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

"Your Majesty, you must eat in small bites and mind your manners." Wanxiang had corrected her countless times, but Her Majesty just couldn't remember.

"It's alright, no one saw us." Yunfei clapped her hands and sat down casually. "I'll definitely be more careful next time."

Wanxiang: "..."

The Empress was spoiled by her husband and wife, and they didn't restrain her personality at all. As a result, even after she became a concubine, she still had such a carefree personality. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor didn't pay much attention to it.

But things are different now. Consort Chu has gone to His Majesty's side, and she might come to Changli Palace at any time.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty might come to our palace, so you must be careful," Wanxiang earnestly advised.

"I...I remember." Consort Yun cleared her throat, afraid that Wanxiang would nag, and solemnly agreed: "I won't forget again."

Wanxiang was relieved and then discussed the matter with her.

"..."

Guanju Palace

"Spring water..."

Consort Liu was reciting a poem when she was interrupted halfway through by her personal maid, Linglong: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened..."

Consort Liu: "..."

"Your Majesty, Consort Chu has gone to Ze'an Palace," Linglong reported anxiously.

"So what if you went? Why are you in such a hurry?" Consort Liu said calmly.

Linglong muttered softly, "Your Majesty, aren't you in a hurry?"

"There's no use in rushing, don't speak yet." Consort Liu was in a good mood and shouldn't be disturbed at all.

Linglong had no choice but to keep her mouth shut and silently serve Consort Liu as she wrote poems.

Zean Palace

Chu Yue stayed from the afternoon until evening, and after dinner, the emperor did not order her to leave.

Soon someone came to serve Chu Yue a bath. While Qiongzhi was dressing her, she whispered, "Consort Zhao, please be careful."

"Um……"

When Chu Yue came out, the emperor had already finished bathing and was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"His Majesty……"

"come over."

Chu Yue slowly moved over and sat down next to the emperor.

In the dim candlelight, the emperor squinted slightly, the faint fragrance emanating from the person beside him wafting into his nostrils.

He reached out and embraced her; she was so soft and boneless. The emperor slowly tightened his arms and hugged Chu Yue.

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue nestled in the emperor's arms and murmured softly, "Be gentle..."

The emperor looked down and saw the woman in his arms, alluring and charming, her beautiful eyes shyly closed.

His throat tightened. The emperor didn't think he was usually so impatient, but for some reason, he couldn't control himself when he saw Consort Chu today.

"Consort Chu".

The emperor's voice was already somewhat hoarse, and his breathing had become hot.

“Your Majesty…” Chu Yue raised her head slightly, her eyelashes trembling.

Looking at her rosy and alluring little mouth, the emperor lowered his head and bit and sucked on it, while also kneading the soft body of the person in his arms.

Chu Yue, delicate and powerless, could not withstand the emperor's passion. She put her arms around the emperor's shoulders, slowly closed her eyes, and bit her lip, unable to control herself from letting out a soft moan.

Upon hearing this, the emperor became even more ferocious.

After it was all over, it was already past midnight, and Chu Yue almost fainted.

The emperor, satisfied, carried her to bathe, and when they returned to bed, he gently asked her, "Consort Chu, are you alright?"

"Your Majesty... I am fine..." Having just received the Emperor's favor, Chu Yue was somewhat weak, and her voice had become hoarse.

"Get some rest." The emperor held her close, coaxed her, and then fell asleep.

After seeing that the emperor had fallen asleep, Chu Yue stirred. "001, what's your favorability rating?"

"You're forty now, Yueyue. Your efforts are incredibly effective." Linglingyi immediately fed her a recovery pill.

Chu Yue wanted to give up and was too lazy to slowly win him over, so she directly used the charm pill. Otherwise, how could she make the abstinent emperor unable to take his eyes off her as soon as he saw her?

"Okay, got it."

After Linglingyi left, Chuyue returned to the emperor's arms and fell asleep next to him.

The next day, when the emperor woke up, he was still holding Chu Yue tightly. He chuckled softly and slowly let go, a movement that woke Chu Yue.

"His Majesty……"

"I'm going to court." Being an emperor is hard work; he has to go out before dawn.

Chu Yue quickly got up, her body swaying slightly, but the emperor stopped her: "Lie down properly, there's no need to get up."

"Yes..." Chu Yue didn't dare to lie down properly. She knelt on the bed, wrapped in the quilt, and looked at the emperor expectantly.

The emperor's gaze swept over the red marks on her neck, and his heart softened a little more: "Sleep a little longer."

Chu Yue then lay down, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

After Xiao Chuanzi helped the emperor change his clothes, the emperor went back behind the screen and glanced at the scene. Consort Chu was already asleep.

As the emperor walked, he instructed, "Later, issue an imperial decree to promote Consort Jin Chu to the rank of Imperial Concubine, and bestow upon her ten bolts of brocade and ten pairs of gold and jade hairpins."

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Xiao Chuanzi was greatly shocked. His Majesty was silent until he made a stunning announcement. Consort Chu was promoted to the rank of Imperial Concubine so easily?

It seems that the Empress Dowager's worries were unnecessary.

The next day, when the news reached the palaces, they were all shocked, not expecting that Consort Chu's promotion would be so easy.
