   Chapter 507 New Favorite (3)

The moment    saw Su Rou, Lu Mingyu's eyes turned cold, and the hand in his sleeve robe moved.

  Old things in the future are long gone. She didn't even care about Li Hao, and naturally she didn't care about Su Rou. His hatred for Su Rou was deeply engraved in his blood.

   As soon as Su Rou's face entered her eyes, the unpleasant memories of her previous life also swept her mind.

   "Xiaoyu, this is my cousin. Her boudoir name is soft and her temperament is soft. She will enter the palace as a concubine in the future. However, in my heart, you will always be the first. Cousin Rou can't surpass you..."

   "Ms. Lu, you are the queen, and you have to have the bearing of a middle court. A dignified emperor, you can't just live with one woman for the rest of your life. Su Rou is my mother's niece and the emperor's cousin. From now on, she and you will be sisters..."

   "From now on, I will listen to the empress, and I will never dare to compete with the empress. I implore the empress to give me a place to stay, and don't push me out of the palace..."

  Lu Mingyu took a deep breath and pushed these unbearable memories out of his mind.

   Queen Qiao also looked at Su Rou intently.

  A 16-year-old girl, as delicate as a branch of flowers, without any makeup on her face, is equally beautiful.

   The deceased Concubine Su was gentle and charming. This Su Rou's appearance is somewhat similar to that of Concubine Su, revealing a charming charm.

   Concubine Su was born as a dancer, with a hint of vulgarity. Su Rou was brought up carefully by the Su family. She has read a lot of poetry and books, as well as learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Compared to Concubine Su, it is even better.

   Such a beauty, no wonder Emperor Yongjia was reluctant to open his hand after he fell asleep, and brought him directly into the harem.

   After Su Rou entered the Jiaofang Palace, her whole body was tense, and she finally didn't forget to salute. She stepped forward, knelt down, kowtowed and saluted, "Su Rou has seen the Empress."

   Queen Qiao gave a faint hum.

   Cailan reminded: "There is also the Empress Dowager."

  Su Rou panicked, looked up subconsciously, just met Lu Mingyu's gaze. Then, she was frightened by the coldness in Lu Mingyu's eyes, and hurriedly lowered her head: "I have seen the Crown Princess."

  Lu Mingyu didn't say anything.

   Queen Qiao did not mean to let Su Rou get up.

  Su Rou could only continue to kneel, her heart overflowing with anxiety.

   She didn't expect such a day.

  …

   Last year, she worshipped the deceased Concubine Su in the imperial mausoleum. She had seen Emperor Yongjia from a distance. However, she didn't take a closer look at that time. First, she didn't dare to look at it for fear of Tianwei, and secondly, she never thought that she would have any intersection with Emperor Yongjia.

   What she thought was to marry cousin Li Hao as a concubine. To be able to be by the side of the loved one for a long time, to have a son and a half daughter again, there is nothing else to ask for in this life.

   That day, Li Hao came to Su's house and talked for a long time with his grandfather in the study. The grandfather called his father and mother over. Then, she was helped onto the carriage and sent to a house.

   At that time, she thought that Li Hao was going to put her in the outer house. In addition to joy, there is also some unwillingness.

   No matter how low Su's family is, she is Li Hao's cousin. There's no reason to let a cousin be an outhouse. There is a concubine Qin in the harem who is also the cousin of Emperor Yongjia!

   Later, there were a few more mothers in the house. Some taught her etiquette and rules, some taught her to make up and dress, and even more shy, taught her how to curry favor with men...

   She endured her shyness and studied very hard. Thinking that one day, I can win Li Hao's favor with these. Maybe, Li Hao will take her to the Third Prince's Mansion soon.

   She stayed in the yard for three months, until the first month of the new year, and at the end of the first month, someone finally came to take her into the Third Prince's Mansion.

   She was extremely happy. After she dressed up carefully, she got on the soft sedan chair, entered the Third Prince's Mansion through the side door, and entered an elegant courtyard.

   On that day, she met Meng Yunluo, the third prince concubine.

   She trembled and bowed her head.

   Meng Yunluo's reaction was also very strange, not the slightest bit of jealousy, but comforting her with kind words and letting her stay at ease. In the next few days, all kinds of silk and satin jewelry from Ayano continued to be sent into her yard.

   She was floating as if she was in the clouds, looking forward to Li Hao's early return.

   A few days later, Li Hao came back and held a banquet in the mansion, inviting the princes and princesses to the banquet. Even the emperor in the palace came in person.

   Before the banquet, Li Hao finally came to see her.

   She was full of shyness and sweetness, and her eyes were full of infatuation: "I finally waited until my cousin came back."

  Li Hao looked at her with complicated eyes: "Cousin, after tonight, you will have a good future for a lifetime."

   This is a promise to be nice to her for the rest of your life?

   She blushed and said softly, "As long as I can stay by my cousin's side, I'll be satisfied."

   Li Hao took a deep look at her and left.

   She was slightly drunk and smirked in the mirror as if she had been drinking. Then, someone from the palace came to help her to take a bath, change clothes and dress up. She also served her and drank a tea with a strange aroma.

  After drinking the tea, her whole body was inexplicably hot, her cheeks were flushed, her consciousness gradually blurred, and her body became extra sensitive. She was lying on the bed in discomfort, tossing and turning.

  I don't know when, the door was pushed open, and a tall man appeared beside the bed. The strong smell of alcohol came. She was suffocated by the inexplicable fire, and couldn't help reaching out and pulling the man's hand.

   Then, the man leaned over.

The memory after    was a mess.

   She completely lost the shame of the girl's family, and hugged the man tightly,

When    woke up, the sky was bright.

   His head was dizzy, and the moment he opened his eyes, he saw that the face of the man beside the pillow was not Li Hao at all. That man, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, was in his forties, old enough to be her biological father.

   She had seen this face from a distance. Never thought that one day, this face will appear by the pillow.

How is this going?

   The person who entered her house, why was Emperor Yongjia?

  Emperor Yongjia opened his eyes and saw her pale and frightened appearance, he seemed to find it funny, and a little pity: "Zhen?"

   She didn't know what to say, tears welled up in her eyes and kept falling.

   She couldn't figure out what was going on. But she knew that it was impossible for her to marry her cousin again. She didn't dare to ask Emperor Yongjia why he appeared in her boudoir.

  When Emperor Yongjia saw her crying like this, he hugged her and coaxed her for a while,

  It was like a dream until I got on the carriage and entered the palace, and was sent to the Yihua Palace for resettlement.
