Empress looks forward to falling out of favor every day

Chapter 496 Put the cart before the horse
Although her so-called 'serving' is nothing more than sleeping on a soft bed.

But as long as she doesn't tell, who will know.

Although His Majesty didn't touch her, he did give her enough appearance.

These superficial scenery is enough for her to be proud of, and it can also make her hold her head high in front of other concubines.

She is also one of the four concubines now, and no one in the palace can hold her head except the queen.

Now the queen is useless.

The highest ranking in the palace is naturally the fourth concubine.

Therefore, even Xiao Yueyao cannot be placed on her head.

A provocative light flashed in Li Fei's eyes.

When Xiao Yueyao heard the words, the smile on her lips grew more and more, and she suddenly walked towards Concubine Li.

Concubine Li looked at her warily, she didn't know what Xiao Yueyao wanted to do.

Xiao Yueyao took two steps and stopped in front of Concubine Li. She leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "What is my sister talking about? Your Majesty..."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "I didn't touch you at all, did I?"

Concubine Li was slightly stunned, a trace of surprise flashed across her face, and then her face darkened.

She didn't know how Xiao Yueyao knew about this!

She thought that the reason why His Majesty didn't want to touch her and came to her room again was because the veterans in the court put pressure on His Majesty, so His Majesty needed her to perform such a play.

Then she will cooperate with His Majesty to play such a play.

Ye Mohan made her a concubine, gave her rewards, and gave her enough superficial beauty.

She certainly wouldn't tell the story.

Then how did Xiao Yueyao know about this.

Xiao Yueyao had a playful look in her black eyes, seeing Li Fei's embarrassment at the moment, she continued to speak softly.

"Since Your Majesty didn't touch my sister, what kind of service does the sister talk about? Could it be that the service sister Li Concubine talks about is the service like Rui Guiren?"

She lowered her voice, "Could it be that my sister has served on another man's bed?"

According to Li Fei's temperament, she would have already retorted at this moment.

But she really didn't expect Xiao Yueyao to know about it.

As for the Rui Guiren incident that Xiao Yueyao was talking about, she dared not answer it.

She didn't want to end up like Rui Guiren.

Since she didn't go to bed, in order to get herself pregnant, since she had an affair with another man!
Li Fei bit her lip, forcefully supporting herself.

"I want to know how I know?" Xiao Yueyao chuckled, "I think you should want to know why His Majesty stayed with you day and night, but didn't touch you."

"Because His Majesty has already promised me that he will not touch other women except me."

Xiao Yueyao seemed to have thought of a joke.

"Oh, if my sister is a man, maybe she still has a chance."

Concubine Li's face was extremely ugly now, "You...I don't believe it, Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the current Son of Heaven, His Majesty must spread his branches and leaves, how could he just touch you alone."

Concubine Li didn't believe it, but Xiao Yueyao's expression broke the only persistence in her heart little by little.

"Do you know what you're doing?!"

Xiao Yueyao was too lazy to continue talking with Concubine Li.

After all, the three views are inconsistent.

She is different from them after all, they can tolerate their husbands going to other women's houses, and even the main wife has to arrange concubines for the husband, so that the husband has more children and more daughters to be a "qualified" regular wife.

And she has accepted monogamy since she was a child. Since she has chosen a partner, she must be loyal to each other.

If one party betrays, the other party can end the relationship with each other at any time.

She couldn't prevent Ye Mohan from having other women in the harem, but she couldn't tolerate Ye Mohan and other women applauding for love!

The frontier war is getting better and better.

Jin Shui secretly returned to Beiming.

In fact, she was able to return to Beiming smoothly, secretly relying on Xiao Nanchen to secretly send someone to protect her.

The reason is to let her go back.

The first thing Jin Shui did when he went back was to investigate the cause of his relative's death.

Some soldiers who survived the battle dictated what happened that day.

They couldn't see any food, they were hungry and thirsty, at this time the third prince brought four corpses, he said they were the corpses of Jinshui's relatives, and also claimed that the Pingyan people killed these four people.

Their eyes were red with anger, and they fought desperately, but in the blink of an eye, they saw Ye Ling fleeing on horseback.

The soldier wiped away his tears. The brother who promised to come back alive with him died in that battle.

Jin Shui gave the soldiers a bag of dry food.

Get up and leave.

The painful wind blows in this barren desert.

The black veil of the veiled girl was blown.

……

No one knows how much Jin Shui has found.

How much do you know...

A few days later, Xiao Nanchen received the detailed defense situation of the other five cities.

Xiao Nanchen sent out troops immediately, and went to five cities in one day.

Morale soared.

When Emperor Beiming heard the news, he was so frightened that he immediately sent a letter of peace to Ping Yan.

At that time, before Ye Ling went back, he had already heard the news of Beiming's peace talks, and angrily swept away the tea sets on the table.

There are many mountains and complex terrain in Beiming, and Beiming is also a big country, so Xiao Nanchen didn't want to invade easily.

Naturally, with Ye Mohan's permission, they accepted the peace letter, but their request was that Beiming would admit that the ten cities belonged to them, Pingyan.

A total of ten cities are enough for the emperor of Beiming to feel distressed for a long time.

But Emperor Beiming didn't dare not agree, if he didn't agree, Xiao Nanchen would lead his troops to continue invading, he was afraid that he would lose not only these ten cities.

When Beiming's peace letter was delivered to the capital, the entire court was filled with joy, and all civil and military officials were smiling.

This time, General Xiao made another military exploit, so he was rewarded with a promotion and a title.

Everyone looked up, ready to listen to Ye Mohan's reward.

Ye Mohan put down the notebook in his hands, raised his eyes to look over, and moved his thin lips, "Since General Xiao has achieved military exploits, I will make Concubine Xiao the noble concubine. Let the Ministry of Rites handle the rewards of General Xiao."

Everyone: "...??"

Is this the end?
Isn't this the work of General Xiao?

Although the front court and the rear palace have always been inseparable, they are always inextricably linked.

Now that General Xiao has made great achievements, it is not surprising that Concubine Xiao can be promoted.

But generally, the generals are rewarded first, and then the concubines in the harem.

Why is His Majesty putting the cart before the horse now?
Looking at it, it seems that she can't wait to take the position of Concubine Jin Xiao.

Or, in fact, His Majesty wanted to be promoted a long time ago, but he didn't find a reason, and now General Xiao just gave the reason for Jin Xiao's concubine.

But this was too perfunctory for General Xiao, so he just threw it to the Ministry of Rites and it was over.

It doesn't seem to matter at all.

Civil and military officials all have their own little ones in their hearts.

They didn't know, what was even more exaggerated was that Ye Mohan went back to the imperial study room, and the imperial edict of the concubine Jin Xiao was personally written, carefully written.
