Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 293 Yandere Emperor × Pampered Concubine 7

In the hunting grounds

At the very front, the emperor, dressed in a black outfit, sat upright on his horse, holding the reins in one hand, his face cold and stern.

He was just waiting for the order to gallop across the hunting grounds. He turned slightly to look at Chu Yue's position and saw that the beauty was also looking at him. The corner of the emperor's mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.

"Yueyue, tone down your expression a bit, you're being a bit of a fangirl." Linglingyi sighed helplessly. After all, she had seen so many handsome men, and the male protagonists from every world were all good-looking.

Chu Yue coughed lightly, slightly restraining herself.

"Beauty Chu, if you're not feeling well, go back and rest. We won't miss you here."

Consort Xu was very angry last night and only managed to get some sleep before dawn.

Chu Yue ignored her and took a few steps away.

“You…” Consort Xu glared at her: “Just you wait and see.”

Xiao Xuanzi shouted, "Let's go..." The emperor's horse galloped off quickly, raising a cloud of dust.

Simple tables and chairs were set up outside the tent, where Chu Yue and the others could wait for the emperor to return.

The hunting grounds were windy and dusty, making people feel somewhat uncomfortable. The emperor wasn't there, and Consort Xu had nothing to say, so the scene was rather quiet.

As the sun rose higher, the sound of horses' hooves rang out, and the hunters returned.

The emperor was still at the front, and Consort Xu excitedly stood up to greet him.

Chu Yue was pushed back a few steps by her.

“My beauty…” Qiu Tong said worriedly as she supported her.

"It's alright, go on over there."

The emperor dismounted, bypassed Consort Xu, and went straight into his tent without even glancing at Chu Yue.

Xiao Xuanzi instructed the servants to prepare the game, and he quickly followed them inside. What's wrong with His Majesty?

She was fine when she went out, but her complexion turned pale when she came back.

Consort Xu stood there, somewhat at a loss. The others didn't know what was going on either, and after a while, they could only return dejectedly.

Chu Yue was staying with the emperor, but he was angry and she was hesitant to go in, unsure of what she had done to offend him.

Inside the tent, Xiao Xuanzi looked at the emperor's dark face and whispered, "Your Majesty... what's wrong?"

The emperor frowned, his face displeased.

"Your Majesty...are you tired?" Your Majesty returned with a full load of spoils, but did you not get what you wanted?

The emperor slammed down his teacup, glanced around the tent, and his expression darkened further.

Xiao Xuanzi now understood why His Majesty was unhappy, and he silently withdrew.

Consort Chu was indeed still standing outside, while His Majesty was waiting inside.

"My lady, please go in and see His Majesty."

"What's wrong with His Majesty? I went there... and he's angry too."

The emperor's moods are unpredictable, making him difficult to please.

In those few moments of silence, a loud "whoosh" sound came from inside.

"My beauty, please go and see, His Majesty is waiting for you."

Xiao Xuanzi was certain that if he went back in, His Majesty would probably stab him.

"My beauty..." Qiu Tong was a little worried. If His Majesty got angry, who could stop him?

Chu Yue composed herself and said, "It's alright, I'll go check on it. You guys wait here."

"Yes…"

Upon entering, one finds the floor littered with broken pieces. The emperor rests his hands on his knees, supporting his forehead, obscuring his face.

Chu Yue carefully stepped forward and squatted down to pick up the broken porcelain shards.

"Who gave you permission to move?"

Her hand trembled, thankfully without causing any injury. Chu Yue looked up and said, "Your Majesty..."

The emperor looked displeased, so Chu Yue had no choice but to kneel down. Who had offended him?

"Consort Chu, are you unhappy to see me?" The emperor's voice was icy.

"Your Majesty... I am innocent, I dare not." Who is spreading rumors about her?

Women are fickle. The emperor was seething with anger. He had been thinking about her all the while he was at the hunting grounds, hoping that Consort Chu would be happy when he returned.

When he returned, she not only didn't greet him, but she also ran faster than Consort Xu, which displeased the emperor.

"Your Majesty... I'm innocent." Chu Yue was practically swearing an oath: "Who exactly is framing me?"

The emperor glanced at her without saying a word.

Chu Yue had no choice but to muster her courage and get up, moving to the emperor's side: "Your Majesty...did I offend you?"

Can't she correct her mistake? 001 told her that her favorability rating was dropping rapidly.

"Why didn't you come when I returned?" He longed to see the admiring and respectful look in Consort Chu's eyes.

"Your Majesty... I have a past," Chu Yue whispered. "I was pushed aside by Consort Xu. I have been waiting for you to come back, really."

The emperor's expression softened slightly: "Foolish."

Chu Yue: "..."

The emperor is getting angry over such a trivial matter; he's becoming increasingly difficult to please.

"Your Majesty... are you no longer angry? Your concubine will assist you with your washing up."

"Ah."

With Chu Yue personally attending to him, the emperor's expression finally improved, and the two snuggled together.

The emperor was reading in his tent, and Chu Yue was almost asleep in his arms. She didn't dare to move, afraid that the emperor would get angry again.

"My beloved concubine, what do you think?" the emperor asked, bowing his head.

Chu Yue snapped back to reality: "Your Majesty... what did you say?"

"How about we roast venison tonight?"

Chu Yue dared not say anything negative. The emperor was young and impetuous and would not tolerate any disobedience. She had no choice but to go along with him.

"Of course it's good. I've never had it before. Your Majesty is amazing."

The emperor's mood visibly improved. When they sat around the campfire, he insisted that Chu Yue serve him and even personally cut off a piece of tender venison for her.

"Your Majesty... I will do it myself."

The two were so engrossed in their affectionate display that Consort Xu couldn't even eat anymore.

His Majesty was clearly angry, so why is he all better now?

Is Consort Chu really that remarkable? That His Majesty treats her so specially.

"Come, have a sip." The emperor fed Chu Yue wine.

Chu Yue glanced at it, then cautiously took a sip; it was very spicy.

The emperor chuckled, knowing that Consort Chu couldn't drink it, so he didn't press her further.

Chu Yue's face flushed red instantly, her head felt dizzy, and she leaned uncomfortably against the emperor.

Consort Xu's face turned ugly. In public, everyone was crowding around His Majesty; what would it be like in private?

Consort Li and the others also looked displeased; they could never have acted like Consort Chu.

"My beloved concubine, are you drunk?" The emperor hadn't expected that just a small sip of wine would make Consort Chu drunk. Seeing her like this, he could only quickly carry her back.

With the emperor gone, there was no point in the others staying any longer, and they soon dispersed.

After helping Chu Yue wash up, Qiu Tong quickly left.

The emperor looked at Consort Chu, whose face was flushed, and felt somewhat helpless. She was quite well-behaved when drunk, not making a fuss at all.

"My beloved consort," the emperor whispered, bending down.

Chu Yue felt dizzy and barely opened her eyes. Looking at the emperor's face magnified in front of her, she leaned over and touched the emperor's face.

When you're drunk, you become bolder.

Seeing how well-behaved she was, the emperor couldn't bear to torment her. He only nibbled on her rosy lips a few times before holding her and falling asleep.

Chu Yue nuzzled against him, and then quieted down.
