Chapter 112 Concubine Su is acting so tyrannically, is there no one to stop her?
According to her status as a criminal slave of the Qiu family, Zhang could only work as a servant in Qiu Yao's yard. Qiu Chan, on the other hand, was able to stay with Qiu Yao after being trained by Xiang He Tiao because of her beauty. She became a maid, and like Xiang He, she was only responsible for some easier tasks such as serving tea and water.
Because concubine Su Wan'er was under house arrest and the other concubines in the mansion were no match for Qiu Yao, their life was quite comfortable.
Just after three months, Qiuyao asked the doctor in the mansion to take her pulse and confirmed that the fetus in her womb was normal and stable. Her mind then became active again.
In the evening, Qiu Yao specifically ordered the kitchen to prepare King Yong's favorite pickled duck, and sent someone to call King Yong to come for dinner.
Prince Yong had been having a headache in the court in recent days because of the Xuanwu Mountain mineral vein issue. Qiu Yao happened to ask someone to call him, so he simply agreed.
As a result, when I just arrived at the yard, I found that Qiuyao was dressed in new clothes today. She was wearing a light yellow gauze dress on the outside, and the bright red peony bellyband inside was also faintly visible. She walked gently and her movements were pleasing to the eye.
Perhaps because she was pregnant, Qiuyao had already lost her youthful tenderness. She exuded a maternal glow and looked extremely beautiful under the hazy moonlight.
"Gudong!"
After drinking the glass of wine that Qiuyao handed over, Prince Yong fixed his eyes on Qiuyao's chest. Then, while taking the wine, he pulled her into his arms and whispered:
"Yao'er, are you thinking about me again?"
Apart from the time they had sex in the palace, Prince Yong was pestered by Su Wan'er and never had sex with Qiu Yao again.
Seeing Qiuyao like this, King Yong suddenly felt some impulse again.
Qiu Yao first gave him a coquettish look, then stood up without hesitation and said, "Your Highness knows that I'm pregnant, how can I continue to serve you?"
"But... I have prepared a surprise for the prince!" Qiu Yao changed the subject and continued.
"Oh? There's another surprise?" Prince Yong was obviously looking forward to it. He looked at Qiu Yao with a burning gaze.
Qiu Yao tilted her head and clapped her hands twice to one side. Then, she saw Qiu Chan, who was dressed very coolly, walking out of a room on the side, holding an orange lantern in her hand.
Qiu Chan was also raised in pampered condition when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She had a good foundation to begin with, and she dressed up today. She looked so charming that she could outshine all the other beauties.
Her eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, and her black hair was pinned up only with an ebony hairpin. With her head half lowered, she looked at Prince Yong shyly, and inadvertently, she revealed a hint of timidity and nervousness.
In the eyes of King Yong, this was a fatal temptation.
His Adam's apple tightened as he looked at Qiuyao. He already had some guesses in his mind, but he still asked meaningfully:
"Yao'er, what's this?"
Qiu Yao wore a perfectly composed smile as she spoke softly, "I heard that the prince has been very tired and hard-working lately, spending his evenings in the study with no one to serve him. I'm not feeling well, but I couldn't bear to see him lonely at night, so I sent my sister out of the palace to serve him. Prince, what do you think of my sister?"
Prince Yong looked at Qiu Chan, who was extremely nervous, and smiled slightly. He said, "Yao'er's sister is naturally very good."
"Yao'er is truly the most considerate and understands my thoughts. Since this is Yao'er's sincere intention, how can I not accept it?"
What he meant was that he agreed to let Qiu Chan serve him tonight.
At this moment, Qiuyao couldn't tell what she was thinking.
Jealous? Definitely.
Keren was sent to King Yong herself in order to consolidate her favor and firmly grasp King Yong's heart.
But subconsciously, she also hoped that King Yong would look down on all women except her.
This contradictory thought only stayed in her mind for a moment, and was quickly suppressed by Qiuyao.
No matter what, the most important thing right now is to protect the baby in your belly.
As for Qiu Chan, let her have a taste of the sweetness first. If she listens to me in the future, I won't refuse to tolerate her.
But if she dared to do anything weird under her nose, she would definitely not let it go.
However, Qiuyao didn't get to be proud for long. On the second day, Su Wan'er was released from house arrest by some unknown method.
When Su Wan'er heard that Qiuyao had even brought her sister and mother into the palace in order to consolidate her favor, she immediately refused to accept it.
As a concubine in the palace, she also had certain rights. She found an excuse for disrespecting her master and punished Qiu Chan by sending her to the laundry room to do hard labor.
Qiu Chan had just waited on Prince Yong all night the previous night. As a virgin, how could she possibly withstand such punishment? She preferred death to submission and planned to seek an explanation from the prince.
However, before she could see the prince, Su Wan'er ordered her to be dragged away and thrown directly into the lowest courtyard as a slave. She also ordered the people below to "serve her well".
Su Wan'er's idea was very simple, that is, Qiuyao was pregnant now, so it was difficult for her to do anything.
But Qiuchan was just a new servant in the mansion, and no one dared to say a word against her when she wanted to beat or punish her.
When Zhang saw this, she hurried out to stop it, but Su Wan'er used the excuse of disrespecting her master as an excuse and asked the maid to slap Zhang twice.
After hearing this, Qiuyao was furious and immediately rushed to the scene to try to rescue Zhang.
However, her status was ultimately lower than Su Wan'er. If she wanted to rescue Zhang, she could only ask the princess to come forward or go to Prince Yong.
At that time, Prince Yong had left the palace for official business, and the only person with the most say in the palace was Princess Murong Zhi.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Qiuyao's crying, Murong Zhi did not rush to stop Su Wan'er, but asked Qiuyao:
"Do you know why Concubine Su can run rampant in this palace, and no one dares to stop her?"
Qiu Yao's face was filled with indignation. She said, "Isn't it because she's been accustomed to pleasing the prince, making him dedicate all his attention to her? That's why she's so domineering."
Murong Zhi shook her head and explained, "Concubine Su is indeed smooth and knows how to please the prince, but that is only one aspect of her."
"What about the second one?" Qiuyao asked.
"The second reason is that Concubine Su has an older brother who is a counselor close to the prince and is deeply trusted by him. The fact that Concubine Su was able to be released from house arrest so quickly is naturally related to her brother."
When Qiuyao heard this, she suddenly understood.
No wonder Su Wan'er dared to bully the concubines in the courtyard while the prince was away, and she was not afraid of being punished later.
It turned out that there was an older brother behind him.
"But Princess, are you just going to watch Concubine Su bully me like this? If she can treat me like this today, who knows, she might treat you or the other sisters the same way tomorrow."
Murong Zhi also knew that Qiuyao's words made sense.
But! She didn't like to get involved in the disputes in the harem, so how could she be willing to deliberately fight with Su Wan'er for Qiuyao?
