Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 290 Yandere Emperor × Pampered Concubine 4

What are you all doing?!

The emperor was having a terrible headache. Even going out for a walk would bring him trouble. Things used to be peaceful, but now he was bothered by things every day.

Upon hearing the emperor's voice, Chu Yue quickly pinched her thigh, gasped in pain, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Your Majesty, this concubine greets you..." Consort Xu stepped forward excitedly, choking back tears as she recounted, "Your Majesty... Consort Chu hit this concubine..."

The emperor frowned. Hadn't Consort Chu gone back?

Consort Xu covered her face and cried very sadly.

Chu Yue lowered her head: "This concubine greets Your Majesty..."

"What exactly happened!" the emperor said in a deep voice. "Consort Chu, tell me."

"I was just about to go back when I ran into Consort Xu on the way. She caught me and gave me a lecture, saying that I didn't know the rules..."

Chu Yue choked up as she spoke, biting her lip and turning her head away.

The emperor was having a headache; each of them was more prone to crying than the last. Consort Chu's manners weren't great, but she didn't seem like the type to have the guts to hit anyone.

She has no manners in front of me, that's all because I indulged her. In front of others, Chu Meiren is as afraid as a rabbit in its burrow.

The Empress Dowager also made him bring all these women with him when he went hunting in the autumn. The Emperor was exhausted. Once the peace was broken, things could never go back to the way they were before.

"Your Majesty...look at my face." Consort Xu released her grip, her cheeks red and swollen. "Consort Chu...it hurts so much when she hit me."

"Consort Chu, why did you hit her?" the emperor asked in a deep voice when she remained silent.

Chu Yue looked at the emperor with a wronged expression: "Your Majesty... Consort Xu keeps saying that I have no manners, and she even brought up my... nighttime service..."

"You..." Consort Xu didn't expect her to be so good at making things up: "I was teaching you manners, what nonsense are you spouting..."

"Alright, all of you shut up." The emperor felt a pang of pity for Chu Yue's aggrieved expression. He knew she was ill-mannered, and he would teach her.

“Your Majesty…” Consort Xu looked at the Emperor expectantly.

"All of you, go back and stay here. If you cause any more trouble, you're not going to the autumn hunt!"

Consort Xu froze on the spot, her crying stopped, she dared not cry anymore, she still wanted to use this autumn hunt to win the Emperor's favor.

Covering her swollen cheek, Consort Xu glared angrily at Chu Yue a few times before retreating with Dongxue.

"Get up." The emperor, with his boldness and stubbornness, frowned, a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Chu Yue stumbled as she stood up, and the emperor caught her, saying, "Do you want to be punished?"

Chu Yue buried her head in the emperor's arms and refused to lift it.

"Speak." The emperor pinched her chin, applying slight force, forcing Chu Yue to raise her head.

Her misty, beautiful eyes held a mixture of grievance, trepidation, and fear.

"Your Majesty... I am bad at manners, and I am willing to learn... I have already been scolded for a long time today, and I will never dare to do it again."

The emperor paused. He had scolded Consort Chu that morning, but that was a matter between him and Consort Chu. The emperor did not want Consort Chu to be wronged outside. In front of him, he indulged her to some extent, but that was a matter between the two of them.

"Alright, I'll take you back." Seeing how aggrieved she was, the emperor softened and carried her back himself.

Chu Yue leaned on the emperor's shoulder, concealing the grievances and tears in her eyes, and mumbled, "Your Majesty... your hand hurts too..."

"Bear with it."

Now you know what pain is; why didn't you think of that when you were hitting someone?

"it is good……"

Qiu Tong followed behind, her heart still pounding. She had been terrified just now, never expecting His Majesty to be so indulgent towards Consort Chu.

"Take good care of her, His Majesty dotes on Consort Chu." Xiao Xuanzi whispered to Qiu Tong, seeing her lingering fear.

"understood……"

The Palace of Rainbow Robes

"Hiss..." Chu Yue's knees were bruised and purple. Qiu Tong was applying medicine to her knees, and Chu Yue's brows were furrowed in pain.

"My beauty, please bear with it." Qiu Tong moved gently, the beauty's skin was delicate, and it was shocking to look at.

The emperor sat in the outer room, listening to the occasional cries of pain from inside, his brows furrowed, feeling suffocated.

"Go and get the Jade Snow Cream for Consort Chu." It would be a great pity if any marks were left on Consort Chu's beautiful legs.

“Yes, Your Majesty…” Xiao Xuanzi withdrew.

The emperor walked into the inner room, looked at the delicate woman with tears welling up in her eyes from the pain, and sighed softly: "Step down, I will take care of it."

Qiu Tong hurriedly retreated, while Chu Yue looked at the emperor with a wronged expression: "Your Majesty..."

"I've sent someone to fetch the Jade Snow Cream; we'll use this for now."

Seeing that the emperor was about to personally apply the medicine to her, Chu Yue quickly stopped him: "Your Majesty, this concubine dares not accept such an honor..."

The emperor gave her a look, and Chu Yue explained softly, "This is against the rules..."

emperor:"……"

She acted recklessly when she should have followed the rules, but now that it was time to win his pity, she started talking about the rules.

"Don't move." The emperor's eyes were somewhat fierce, but his movements were very gentle, at least Chu Yue didn't cry out in pain.

Chu Meiren's legs were long, slender, smooth, and snow-white. The emperor, inappropriately, recalled the time when Chu Meiren was favored, and those legs tightly wrapped around his waist.

After applying the medicine and gently lowering her clothes, the emperor instructed her again, "Be careful."

Chu Yue nodded obediently.

The emperor then asked, "How about your hand? Does it still hurt?"

Chu Yue spread her hands, looking aggrieved; her palms were still red.

"If you mess up again next time, I won't clean up your mess."

The emperor applied medicine to Chu Yue's palms again. These hands were also not to be injured; they were soft and felt very comfortable when they were on his body.

"I've remembered..." Chu Yue earnestly promised, "I will definitely abide by the rules."

The emperor looked at her with some disbelief. Chu Yue hugged the emperor's arm and looked at him expectantly: "Your Majesty... please stay and keep me company."

The emperor softened; Consort Chu had suffered so much today and was so pitiful. So be it, he would stay with her a little longer.

Hall

"Your Majesty... what does this mean?" The emperor leaned against the couch, holding a book, while Chu Yue nestled in his arms, pointing to parts of the book she didn't understand and asking him.

"Don't ask if you don't understand," the emperor replied calmly.

Chu Yue said "Oh" and indeed didn't ask any more questions. The emperor looked down in confusion and saw that Chu Meiren was asleep in his arms.

She even said she wasn't spoiled, yet he's been so indulgent with her. Sigh, the emperor sighed. This was the first time they'd ever been so unruly, cuddling together while reading.

Thankfully, she stopped making a fuss once she fell asleep.

Qiulan Palace

"Ouch...be gentle." Consort Xu gritted her teeth in pain.

"Your Highness, please bear with it. You'll feel better after the medicine is applied." Dongxue couldn't bear it either.

"I'll let it slide this time, but don't blame me for being rude next time."

Consort Xu was unwilling, but in order to be able to go on the autumn hunt, she could only endure it no matter how unwilling she was.

"Your Majesty...you have been wronged."

Dongxue's words almost brought Consort Xu to tears. If she were to serve the Emperor, His Majesty would surely help her.

This time, she was determined to win His Majesty's favor. Once she gained His Majesty's affection, she would see if Consort Chu would still be so arrogant.

"Will my face be alright?" Consort Xu asked with some concern.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, things will get better. The imperial physician has brought the medicine; we just need to be careful."

The winter snow offered gentle comfort.

Consort Xu was relieved and endured the pain as Dongxue applied the medicine.
