Chapter 35 The Cruel and Impotent Emperor and His Favorite Concubine 8
Five new concubines were eventually added to the harem: Consort Bai and Consort Wang, Consort Xu, and two more consorts: Consort De and Consort Jing.
As a Noble Consort, Chu Yue naturally took care of all of this. After arranging her residence, she returned to the Phoenix Palace and lazily lay on the Noble Consort's couch, her beautiful eyes lightly closed, pondering the future.
Actually, she wasn't worried about how many people came in; it was just for show anyway, and the emperor could only look at it at most.
Consort De and Consort Jing were of higher rank, but it didn't really matter.
When the emperor entered the Phoenix Palace, he saw his concubine lying on her side on the chaise longue, seemingly lost in thought. The palace was quiet, and there was not a single person serving her.
As he walked along, his mind was filled with turbulent thoughts. He, who was never swayed by emotions, frowned for once.
He used to have no use for women. Although he was eager to prove that he was fine, he never thought about having many women. He was the emperor, and he made the decisions.
After the imperial concubine entered the palace, there was only the imperial concubine. His imperial concubine cured him, and the emperor felt that the imperial concubine alone was enough.
The imperial concubine served him meticulously, and he was very satisfied.
But lately, those ministers seem to have been bewitched, and every day when they go to court they focus on the fact that his great cause needs to be inherited.
Since he is fine, the Imperial Concubine can take on this responsibility. Why is another woman needed?
He had refused several times with harsh words, but public opinion was overwhelming, and one person could not withstand the pressure. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise and agree to select a few people to enter the palace.
But this result made him feel a little sorry for the Imperial Concubine. Although he repeatedly reminded himself that he was the Emperor and had no need to feel guilty, the uncontrollable bitterness spread from his chest to his whole body, making him extremely uncomfortable.
The Imperial Concubine is gentle by nature, and no matter how harsh he is to her, she never complains. I wonder if she will cry now?
Therefore, the emperor couldn't resist coming to Fengyi Palace.
"Yueyue, Yueyue, the emperor is here!" Linglingyi whispered a reminder.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yue's eyes darted around, her brows furrowed instantly, and her eyes became misty with deep sorrow.
Her slender, rounded shoulders trembled slightly.
"Imperial Consort," the Emperor said in a deep voice, then walked in.
Chu Yue stiffened, quickly wiped away her tears, rose from the chaise longue, and respectfully bowed: "Your Majesty, this concubine greets you..."
The emperor slowly approached her, his tall figure upright, each step exuding a calm and dignified aura, for the entire world was under his control.
"Get up." The emperor reached out to help her up, carefully examining her. The imperial concubine had her head down, her long, smooth hair cascading down her chest and flowing down her silk dress. Her stunning beauty made it impossible for him to look away.
Gently pinching her chin and lifting it slightly, he finally saw the Consort's expression clearly. Her arched eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her beautiful eyes were glistening with tears, and her pearly white teeth were lightly biting her lip, as if she had a thousand words of grievance to tell.
The emperor's heart clenched; he realized then that the imperial concubine had already captured his heart.
It wasn't just the imperial concubine who cured him; this gentle yet strong woman could only stay by his side.
"What are you doing?" The emperor gently stroked her delicate chin and asked softly.
"Your Majesty...why did you come?" Chu Yue asked nervously and softly, then bit her lip and turned her head slightly away.
A new concubine has entered the palace today; won't the emperor go and see her?
"I come to the Imperial Concubine's place every day, why does the Imperial Concubine ask this question today?"
The emperor tightened his grip on her chin slightly, and Chu Yue turned her head, looking at him with some annoyance.
“Today is different…” Chu Yue whispered.
The emperor stared intently at her: "What's different?"
"Today...today some concubines entered the palace..." Chu Yue said bitterly.
"So, does the Imperial Concubine mean for me to go to other women?"
The emperor's words carried an imposing authority, and Chu Yue almost choked up. She whispered, "No... it's up to me..."
"When I arrived at the Imperial Concubine's place, she asked me to leave. The Imperial Concubine is truly magnanimous."
The emperor released his grip on her chin, noticed a red mark on it, and clicked his tongue inwardly, thinking how delicate she was.
He then sat on the chaise lounge.
Chu Yue's lips trembled slightly, unable to speak. She dared not say that she did not want His Majesty to leave, but how could she possibly have the final say?
After the emperor sat down, he heard no reply for a long time. He looked at Chu Yue and saw that his concubine had her back to him, her shoulders shaking, clearly crying.
"Your Highness, look at me." The emperor's heart tightened. He was not good at interacting with women, and for so many years, His Highness had been the only one by his side.
The Imperial Concubine obeyed him in everything, perhaps because she dared not disobey him. After all, no one was unafraid of his imperial methods, but none of that mattered. He knew that at this moment, he did not want the Imperial Concubine to be so sad and upset because of another woman.
Chu Yue slowly turned around, refusing to look up at him. The emperor grew impatient and reached out to lift her chin. Two tear tracks appeared on her delicate cheeks, and her alluring eyes were also wet.
"Why are you crying? You drove me away, and now you're acting all wronged?"
The emperor spoke in a deep voice.
Chu Yue muttered softly, "Your Majesty, I did not ask you to leave..."
"Who just told me to go to other women?"
Chu Yue couldn't bear to hear other women say such things, and her tears fell even more fiercely. The emperor was at a loss, and in the end, he showed signs of anger. Chu Yue trembled and quickly choked out, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I shouldn't have been so jealous... Your Majesty, please forgive me."
The last few words were almost uttered through sobs.
The emperor hadn't expected that the arrival of a few people from the harem would have such a strong impact on the imperial concubine, and a pang of pain shot through his heart: "Alright, I didn't say anything, don't get agitated."
The emperor gently embraced her trembling body. The imperial concubine was also a weak woman who needed to rely on him. Although she entered the palace when he was tyrannical, she had always stood by him. But the imperial concubine was just a weak woman. How could she not be sad when her husband wanted to take a concubine?
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue cried out, her voice choked with sobs.
"Alright, stop crying. I've been with you the whole time. Your eyes are all swollen from crying, you won't look good."
The emperor smiled and teased her, knowing that the imperial concubine cared a lot about her appearance.
As expected, the Imperial Concubine forced back her tears and dared not cry anymore.
"If you don't want me to leave, why did you say those things?" the emperor asked softly.
Chu Yue gazed at him intently: "When I entered the palace, there was no one else in Your Majesty's harem, only me. I thought... Your Majesty belonged to me alone, I..."
"I am guilty, I shouldn't have..."
After speaking, Chu Yue dared not look him in the eye again, fearing that His Majesty would punish her for her treasonous words.
The emperor couldn't help but smile. The concubine looked so gentle and weak, yet she wanted to possess him all to herself. This feeling excited him.
He was the emperor, yet the imperial concubine dared to desire to possess the entire empire alone. Could her petite frame contain such a bold ambition?
However, he has everything and has never experienced what it's like to be possessed by someone else. Since the Imperial Concubine wants this, why not grant her wish?
The emperor remained silent for a long time. Chu Yue felt uneasy and was about to kneel down to beg for forgiveness when the emperor spoke: "Your Highness is truly audacious."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I was wrong." Chu Yue knelt down with a thud.
The emperor frowned and pulled her up. How could the imperial concubine's delicate skin withstand kneeling on the cold floor? Normally, if he used even a little force, the imperial concubine would cry out in pain.
"Your Highness is right, I grant your permission." The Emperor leaned close to her ear, his deep, magnetic voice penetrating deep into Chu Yue's heart.
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue looked up and called to him sweetly.
The emperor swept her up in his arms and said, "Your Highness must repay me well."
After speaking, Chu Yue entered the inner hall, blushing and refusing to speak again. However, the emperor's deep and sexy voice could be heard from inside from time to time.
