Chapter 255 A Passionate and Domineering Emperor × A Concubine's Daughter from the Prime Minist

Chapter 255 A Passionate and Domineering Emperor x The Concubine's Daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion (6 Chapters)

"Your Majesty, I was so happy to see Sister Yue today. I would like to invite her to Yufu Palace later to catch up."

Seeing that even the Empress Dowager was speechless at the Emperor's words, the Empress spoke up at the opportune moment.

Chu Yue became a Noble Consort as soon as she entered the palace and even moved into the Phoenix Palace, which was reserved for the Empress. The Empress herself lived in the Jade Hibiscus Palace, which was reserved for Consorts. Chu Yue was almost driven mad with jealousy.

Since childhood, this vixen has only ever served her when she sees her. Does she think she can turn her life around now that she's entered the palace?

"Moon, tell me, were you happy to see the Empress today?"

The emperor did not respond to the empress, but looked at Chu Yue instead.

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue bit her lip, glanced at the Empress with some fear, and whispered, "Of course I am happy to see my sister... Empress."

"Your Majesty, Sister Yue has always been timid since she was little, but she is quite close to me. It has been a long time since I saw Sister Yue, and I have a lot to say to her."

Seeing that Chu Yue's status was comparable to her own, the Empress felt anxious. Today, Chu Yue's attire was also luxurious and grand. The Empress felt that her position was threatened and she couldn't wait to warn Chu Yue.

Chu Yue's gaze did not escape the emperor's notice. It was clear that Yue'er was afraid to see the empress, not at all what the empress had said about the two being very close.

The Emperor's expression grew increasingly grim, unaware of the extent of Yue'er's suffering and the length of time she had been bullied by Chu Jingyi. The Emperor hadn't even settled accounts for the deception inflicted upon him, and now they wanted to bully Yue'er again. He absolutely could not tolerate this.

"The Imperial Concubine has just entered the palace and needs to rest," the Emperor replied to the Empress.

The Empress's expression stiffened for a moment, then she looked at Chu Yue: "Sister, it's been so long since we last met, don't you miss your older sister? I have so much to tell you."

Chu Yue glanced at the Empress and then at the Emperor: "Your Majesty... I haven't seen my sister for many days and would like to catch up with her. Would Your Majesty allow me to visit Yu Fu Palace?"

"Moon, you don't need to..."

"I'll be back in a little while, Your Majesty, please grant my request."

"Don't stay too long, I'll come pick you up in a bit." The emperor was very worried, as Yue'er had just been threatened by the empress.

Seeing the Emperor wholeheartedly protecting the Consort, the Empress Dowager had no strength left to utter a single word. She waved her hand wearily and said, "All of you, leave."

"This concubine takes her leave..."

"This concubine takes her leave..."

As the emperor left, he gave Chu Yue a reassuring look, and Chu Yue smiled and nodded before he departed.

As the emperor left, the empress's expression instantly turned sour. She snorted coldly and returned to Jade Hibiscus Palace first.

The Empress Dowager kept looking outside the palace gate. The Emperor didn't say a word to her. It was one thing that he didn't come to pay his respects normally, but when they did meet, he was extremely distant.

The mother and son developed a rift because of a woman, which truly saddened the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine and His Majesty are a perfect match. Please stop worrying about it. It's not a bad thing that His Majesty has a beloved concubine."

Jinshu still tried to persuade her once more, even though she had said these words several times before.

"Her identity..."

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is also from the Prime Minister's residence. Now that she has become an Imperial Concubine, does the Prime Minister not understand?"

"But she is, after all, a concubine's daughter..." The Empress Dowager was somewhat bothered by Chu Yue's status.

"Empress Dowager, even a concubine's daughter is born to the Prime Minister. Now that she's a Noble Consort, does it still matter whether she's a concubine's daughter or not?" Jinshu comforted her gently, "The Empress is not a concubine's daughter, but His Majesty doesn't like her. What do you think?"

"I am truly exhausted. As long as the emperor doesn't become a tyrant because of the imperial concubine, that's enough."

Jinshu knew that the Empress Dowager had conceded, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She then coaxed the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, I thought that Consort Gui and His Majesty were a match made in heaven. But the most important thing is that Your Majesty made His Majesty so handsome that Consort Gui could have someone to rely on."

"You..." The Empress Dowager finally smiled. Her son was her pride. So be it. As long as her son was happy, it didn't matter if she was a vixen.

"Send some more things to the Imperial Concubine later."

"The Empress Dowager is wise..." Jinshu helped her inside to rest.

Jade Hibiscus Palace

After Chu Yue entered, she stood in the hall, but the Empress neither spoke to her nor offered her a seat.

"Chu Yue, you're quite capable. Mother said you were sick, but I see you're perfectly fine." The Empress said coldly, "I underestimated you. You dare to play tricks to escape the Prime Minister's residence."

Chu Yue lowered her eyes, not intending to reply. Chu Jingyi was always like this, always mocking and insulting her, and the phrase she said most often was, "I'll tear your face off one day."

The Empress grew increasingly angry at her appearance. In front of them, she always acted like an innocent little rabbit, but behind their backs, she dared to seduce His Majesty.

"I'm talking to you." The Empress was getting increasingly angry.

Chu Yue then looked up at her: "Is the Empress talking to my sister? But didn't the Empress say that my sister has no right to speak in front of you?"

"You..." The Empress hadn't expected her to become so sharp-tongued. After calming down, she instructed Jasmine, "Bring tea. The Imperial Concubine has just entered the palace. She should be served tea when she sees me."

So what if she's a concubine? In the Prime Minister's residence, she was expected to serve him, and once she entered the palace, it would be the same for her.

Jasmine respectfully presented the tea to Chu Yue, who glanced at it.

"Yueyue, this is strange. This tea isn't hot at all. Usually, hot tea is served in this situation, which could hurt you."

"When you hand it to the Queen later, heat it up."

"……OK."

Chu Yue picked up the teacup: "Please, Your Majesty, have some tea..."

The Empress felt a sense of satisfaction and stared at Chu Yue, showing no intention of taking the tea for a long time.

Chu Yue wasn't in a hurry. Chu Jingyi was like this when she was in the manor, and she's still like this now.

"Now that my sister has become an imperial concubine, Aunt Lian can finally rest in peace."

Looking at Chu Yue's delicate and frail appearance, the Empress was reminded of her concubine, who was just as seductive and only knew how to seduce men.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Chu Yue's eyes, but she composed herself and said, "Your Majesty, please have some tea..."

The Empress snorted coldly and reached out to take the tea.

"what……"

The Empress was so scalded that she dropped her teacup, splashing tea everywhere. Chu Yue's hand was also scalded and blistered.

"Chu Yue, how dare you scald me with tea!"

The Empress endured the pain in her fingertips, wishing she could kill Chu Yue immediately.

"Your Majesty, this tea was prepared by your order, and I've been serving it for quite some time. It really wasn't me..."

The Empress looked at Jasmine, who shook her head in horror. Without the Empress's orders, how could she dare to make any small moves?

Chu Yue hid her hands in her sleeves. "Your Majesty, I have been out for quite some time. May I go back first?"

The Empress looked terrible. She had intended to mock Chu Yue, but the sudden turn of events had put her in a very bad mood.

"Go back."

Chu Yue left the Jade Hibiscus Palace.
