The crazy daily life of the mistress

Chapter 210. Stop talking

One morning, the sun shone through the window onto the floor of the palace, creating mottled shadows. Lu Hui was embroidering in her boudoir when she was summoned by the queen. She felt a little uneasy, not knowing why the queen was summoning her, but she hurriedly tidied up her appearance and went to the queen's bedroom.

After entering the Queen's bedroom, Lu Hui carefully saluted the Queen, bowed her head and stood aside, quietly waiting for the Queen's instructions. The Queen sat on the gorgeous phoenix chair, looked at Lu Hui sharply, and said straight to the point: "Lu Hui, you have been very close to the Emperor recently."

Hearing the queen's words, Lu Hui was shocked. She quickly knelt down and saluted, and replied with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I just want to do my best to relieve your majesty's worries. I have no other intentions."

The Queen sneered and said with a mocking tone: "Humph, sharing His Majesty's worries? You have a good plan. But I tell you, the affairs of the harem are under my control, you'd better not think of interfering in my affairs. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Lu Hui bowed her head and said nothing, but she understood in her heart that the queen was warning her not to interfere in the affairs of the harem. She knew that her position in the palace was not high, and if she offended the queen, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, the Queen did not seem to be planning to let Lu Hui go. She paused, then continued, "But...if you can behave yourself and stop having any evil ideas, I can forgive you. After all, it's a good thing to have one more person to help Your Majesty."

Lu Hui understood the meaning of the queen's words and kowtowed to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Queen, for your generosity. I will follow your instructions and will never dare to disobey you in the slightest."

The queen nodded slightly, showing satisfaction. "Okay, you can get up. You should know your limits in the future and don't bring trouble to yourself." After saying that, the queen waved her hand to signal Lu Hui to leave.

Lu Hui stood up as if relieved, bowed to the queen again, and then slowly left the queen's bedroom. After leaving the queen's bedroom, Lu Hui's mood was still heavy. She knew that the struggle in the harem was very fierce, and she would fall into an irretrievable situation if she was not careful. Now that she had attracted the queen's attention, she had to be more careful.

After coming out of the Queen's bedroom, Lu Hui felt a little scared, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her legs were a little weak. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but the conversation with the Queen just now kept appearing in her mind. She realized that her position in this palace was not as stable as she thought, and it could even be said to be precarious. In this place full of intrigue and deception, a little carelessness could lead to eternal damnation.

Lu Hui secretly made up her mind that she must be more cautious from now on and never reveal her flaws easily. She knew that if she wanted to survive in this complicated palace, it was far from enough to rely on beauty alone, and she also needed enough wisdom and strategy.

Therefore, Lu Hui decided to temporarily restrain her edge and no longer actively approach the emperor as before. She knew that being too eager to show herself would only make people think she was ambitious and cause unnecessary trouble. Now she needed to calm down and wait for the right time.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was blowing. Lu Hui was walking in the garden as usual. As she walked, she suddenly heard a laugh coming from the front. Looking up, she saw the emperor standing not far away, chatting and laughing with the guards around him. A warm current surged in Lu Hui's heart. She didn't expect to meet the emperor here. The emperor also noticed Lu Hui. He walked towards her with a smile and asked with concern: "How are you these days?" Lu Hui hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I am fine." The emperor nodded slightly, and a trace of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes, "That's good. If you encounter any troubles in the palace, just tell me, I will take care of it for you." Lu Hui was deeply moved, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "I thank your majesty."
