Chapter 5: The Dark Emperor vs. the Delicate Palace Maid
"Don't worry, Madam. You saved me from a miserable state and taught me these things. I will always be loyal to you and will never let you down."

Only then did Chao Fei nod in relief.

For so many years, she had been pretending to be weak and sick in the palace just to protect herself. Now that the emperor had no children, the empress dowager and the court were extremely anxious.

She is not without ambition. She is also eyeing the position of queen. As long as she has a dragon seed, she can rest assured.

But she doesn't trust anyone after all. No matter how Chuli expresses her inner thoughts, she has to be on guard against the possibility that Chuli will climb over her head one day.

She smiled slowly, got on the sedan chair and set off for the Yangxin Palace.

Hatsuri followed beside him.

She was thinking about finally getting to see the emperor, and she was also thinking about having babies, babies, and babies.

Of course, she knew what Chao Fei was planning.

After arriving at the Yangxin Palace, Chuli followed Chaofei in.

I saw the emperor, his golden robe embroidered with a dragon pattern, his sharp eyes looking at the memorials in his hands, his slender fingers holding one roll after another.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

The emperor nodded in agreement, but when he raised his eyes he spotted the little maid next to Concubine Chao.

is her.

Today, Hatsuri was dressed simply, not as gorgeous as last time.

"The concubine is here, please sit down."

The concubine sat on the couch and asked someone to bring in the best snacks.

"Your Majesty, please try this. I have learned this skill specially in the past few days. Although you are punishing me, I know that you must be worried about me, otherwise you would not have called me here."

Chao Fei spoke softly and gently, neither too fast nor too slow, which made Shen Yan feel comfortable and happy.

"The imperial concubine has good intentions. The imperial concubine is just a bit tricky and arrogant. You should not argue with her."

But Shen Yan didn't touch the snack at all, he just picked it up and put it down.

The concubines smiled at each other and said, "I understand. Your Majesty is not a bad person. I will not argue with you."

Shen Yan nodded, but his eyes occasionally glanced at the palace maid next to Chao Fei.

He asked, "You are a very unfamiliar maid. I deserve a reward for protecting you last time. Which palace did you get this from?"

The concubine saw what the emperor was thinking, but she didn't expose it.

"Speaking of Chuli, it can be said that I have a great fate with her. That night, I caught a cold and felt unwell. When I was talking to Xiaohua, I found her outside. She was wet and looked very pitiful. So I took her in to serve me in the palace. She was smart and clever, and she learned the rules of the palace in a few days."

Shen Yan raised his eyebrows, took a sip of the teacup in his hand, and said casually: "Really? Then you must thank Chao Fei for doing your best for your master."

Shen Yan said this to Chu Li.

This was also the second chat between them.

Chu Li bowed her head and expressed her gratitude: "I will be grateful to you for your cultivation for the rest of my life."

Seeing the emperor's eyes looking at Chu Li intentionally and silently, Chao Fei opened her mouth and ordered: "The emperor specially remembered you, why don't you quickly pour tea for the emperor."

Chu Li obeyed and walked over, picked up the teapot quietly and poured a cup into the emperor's cup. At this moment, she raised her eyes for a few seconds and met the emperor's eyes.

Such clear and meaningful eyes.

It seemed like he was sizing me up, but also like he had other intentions.

Then retreat.

The next second, I heard the imperial concubine sigh: "It's a pity that I can't share the emperor's worries. No one in the harem is pregnant. It's also my fault that my belly is not good enough for the emperor to have his own child. When I talk about these things, I feel upset."

The emperor disagreed.

He had never thought of having his own child, but now it saves him a lot of trouble, as the child is what the Queen Mother wanted.

It’s what the court wants.

He was just pretending to need the child.

But he himself didn't know why he hadn't had a child for so many years. Perhaps God hadn't given him the opportunity yet. Seeing the concubine blaming herself, the emperor should have said a few words of comfort: "My beloved concubine, it's okay. There are still opportunities and there is still a long time to come."

The concubine took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, I have long treated Chu Li as my own sister. Would you be so kind as to let her learn from Rong Mama, who is by your side? No one in my palace is as experienced as Rong Mama, and she is also from the older generation of the palace."

The intention of these words was too obvious for Shen Yan to fail to hear.

Everyone in the palace is plotting for the position of the Queen, and I thought that the position of the Concubine would be a little different.

I didn't expect they were all the same kind of people.

"That's right. You treated the maid very well. You even let her study with the nanny. You chose a good path for her. Chu Li, please don't let down the Empress Chaofei's painstaking efforts for you."

Since Chao Fei has such intention, he wants to see how Chao Fei will use this chess piece placed on him.

Chu Li didn't know who Rong Mama was.

But the man's name gave her a chill.

There is a familiar and timid feeling.

But Chu Li only heard that one sentence: the Rong Mama beside the emperor.

Chao Fei is helping herself.

"Thank you, Empress Chaofei, thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your expectations and study hard! I will serve you well in the future."

Seeing her happy expression, Shen Yan, who usually didn't eat snacks, took the snack and took two bites.

Since when did he become so happy to see the palace maids?
In this way, Chu Li was introduced to Rong Mama and began to learn the rules of serving the master in the palace.

She also moved out of Chaofei's palace, and she was somewhat reluctant to leave.

After all, it was fortunate that the person I met at the beginning was Chao Fei.

Whenever the emperor got up, she would get up early.

So at night, she complained to the system.

"Oh, oh, I'm not going to meet the same Rong Mama as in Princess Huanzhu!"

[Susu, go ahead bravely! The system will always be with you! I will complete the task for you and get promoted for me! Come on Susu! ]

Hatsuri: ...

The nanny took care of her one-on-one, but she knew in her heart that it must be the emperor's intention to put this palace maid in her care.

Nor dare to overstep the line.

But I never thought that this little palace maid had an exceptionally strong learning ability.

She had finished reading the book before I even got up.

Before I could teach her the etiquette of serving others, she had already taught herself.

This was the first time she had seen such an ambitious palace maid.

"Mammy, Mammy, what are we going to learn today?"

Chu Li started clamoring again, asking Rong Mama to teach her.

She also didn't expect that this nanny was so different from the vicious old nanny she had imagined. She was so kind, gentle and patient.

During this time, Hatsuri seemed to have completely integrated into the life of a palace maid.

She listened to Mammy's instructions and teachings and learned a lot.

Aunt Rong saw that she was arguing with her about studying again.

He had no choice but to wave his hand and give up: "I, your old servant, really have nothing to teach you. Why don't you follow me and serve the emperor for once!"

what! !

Can I serve the Emperor?!
