Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 295 The Emperor and Concubine Mei Reconcile

He knew that she was like this because he was the emperor. But didn't the other concubines know that he was the emperor? Why were they so afraid of him? If a person has no ambition, then there is no point. If the court officials have no ambition, then they will not work hard for him and serve the country.

At least Imperial Concubine Mei did not interfere in politics. She just wanted to get his favor, which was nothing. It was like this in the harem since ancient times. Which emperor didn't have his own favorite? Didn't my father favor Imperial Concubine Hui? The fourth prince didn't do anything in the end. He was arranged by him to go to Huanan County, a very good place with abundant resources.

He took his mother with him, and he did not make things difficult for them. Because Concubine Hui did not make things difficult for them, and did not fight for the throne for her son, he would not treat them unfairly.

Now the same is true for Concubine Mei. As long as she does not go too far, he will always dote on her. If she does something unforgivable, he will issue an imperial edict to give her poisoned wine. He will not tolerate anyone who endangers the imperial power, no matter who they are.

Imperial Concubine Mei asked the emperor to sit up, filled a glass of wine for him, and placed his favorite dishes in front of him. Then she poured herself a small cup and drank with him. After a few cups, she raised her hand to signal for music to be played, and the melodious sound of stringed instruments came from behind the screen.

Concubine Mei, wearing a light red gauze dress, walked down the hall and began to dance. The emperor looked at her graceful figure, which was faintly visible under the hazy gauze, full of charm.

She was good at dancing, and she was the best among all the concubines in the harem. This dance was particularly graceful, her body was like a fairy from heaven, the long red gauze fluttered in the air as her arms waved, and her body also flew lightly. The white jade feet under the gauze skirt sometimes lifted up lightly, and sometimes lightly touched the ground, and the whole person was like a red butterfly flying.

As the music slowly stopped, she stood still and waved for everyone to leave. Her breasts rose and fell with her light breathing, and she walked barefoot. The emperor smiled and asked her to sit beside him, and poured her a cup of tea.

Her face flushed and she said affectionately, "Thank you, Your Majesty. What do you think of my dance? You are the one who understands this the most. Please give me some advice!"

She took the water from the emperor, took a sip, and gently put it back on the table. She smiled and leaned gently in his arms, waiting for his comments.

The emperor stroked her cheek and said with a smile, "I don't have any suggestions this time. It's already very good. It seems that Mei'er has put a lot of effort into it. Did you compose this dance yourself?"

Mei Guifei said with surprise and tears in her eyes: "How did you know? I have been practicing secretly for a long time. You understand me the best. I know you have always loved me."

The emperor reached out his hand to caress and wipe away her tears, whispering: "In the future, you must discipline your family members. As members of the royal family, we cannot let them do anything that harms the court. I know this is definitely not what you meant, but you are a family with an inseparable relationship."

Imperial Concubine Mei sobbed softly and said, "I know I was wrong. I will strictly control my family members in the future and not let them do anything that harms the royal family. I also thank you for your trust. Even for the sake of the Ninth Prince and the other princes, I will not indulge them."

The two of them finally put aside their past grudges and reconciled. In the scent of Concubine Mei's incense, they walked towards the bed together. The bed curtain was then thrown down, and the breeze began to sway, and the red curtain fluttered.

The next day, Concubine Mei got up with a happy face and personally helped the emperor wash and change clothes and eat breakfast. She walked with him to the gate and sent him off to court from afar. Concubine Mei did not go back to the courtyard until she could no longer see the sedan chair.

After this, Imperial Concubine Mei gradually regained her favor, but it was still not as good as before because Imperial Concubine Rong still shared the favor with her, and the emperor would often visit her.
