Chapter 685 Empress Liu

Li Dahong's widow, young widow Liu, was a concubine in the Eastern Palace. Now she is promoted to a concubine and is known as Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu has a son, the seventh child, who is young and has already started to learn.

Concubine Xiao favors the harem and often targets Concubine Liu and embarrasses her. The Queen Mother just stands by and basically does not intervene, watching Concubine Liu being bullied.

She cannot count on the emperor's favor, and the child is still young. It is not the time for the mother to be honored by the son. The son is honored by the mother. Although she is a concubine now, she cannot be honored.

Other women in the harem have their natal families to rely on, no matter whether it is a small or big support, there are always natal families. Only Concubine Liu, her natal family has died.

Her only brother, who was pardoned after years of hard labor, was finally pardoned, but his body was hollowed out by the hard labor and he died of illness on the way back to Beijing.

Since then, she has lost even the last natal family in the world.

She has no one to rely on, the child is still young, the harem is fighting fiercely, and a new batch of beauties have entered. The emperor was obsessed with the new beauties. He would ask about the old ladies when he remembered them, and forget about it when he didn't.

Life was hard.

She had to find a helper for herself!

She thought of Chen Guanlou, who was her only best choice.

When Chen Guanlou got home from work, Sister Chunxiang from next door told him that someone was looking for him and had been waiting for a long time. She was a beautiful girl.

"Look at her, she's pretty, but a little old. Could it be that you left a romantic debt in the past, and now someone is looking for you to take responsibility."

Chen Guanlou heard this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. You know my temper. I never mess with decent women, so where did the romantic debt come from?"

He now even kept away from young widows, so as to avoid rumors and gossips, and they came to ask him to take responsibility.

Although young widows are good, they are not as good as being single!

There are so many sisters outside, all waiting for him. He doesn't need to get entangled with decent women. It doesn't matter if she's famous or not, she's just worried about the trouble that will follow, so she pesters him to take responsibility.

Chunxiang's wife doesn't believe it.

Chen Guanlou was too lazy to explain, so he went in and took a look. Hey, she really knew her.

What was the name of the maidservant beside Liu?

"What's your name?" He couldn't remember it for a moment.

"I'm Bilu, hello, sir!"

The first-class maidservant beside Liu, now the senior maidservant beside Empress Liu, the first-class confidant.

"Yes, your name is Bilu. If you have anything to say, go to my house and talk."

Chen Guanlou led the person to his home, right in the courtyard, and served tea on a small square table.

"Is Empress Liu okay?" Chen Guanlou exchanged a few words.

"Everything is fine, Empress! It's a pity that the Empress's brother passed away on the way back to Beijing." The senior maid Bilu took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

She's older and more mature. She can't be said to be stunning, but she's also a beauty. It's a pity that she's still a maidservant. She was so determined to climb the ladder at the beginning, but after several years, she still couldn't climb the ladder.

Obviously, Bilu's beauty was not distinctive in the harem with many beauties, and she couldn't attract the attention of Emperor Jianshi at all.

There were a lot of beauties who were more beautiful, younger, and more interesting than her. How could a little maid without outstanding characteristics get what she wanted?

Even the breathtakingly beautiful Liu had fallen out of favor, and she had to be sent out of the palace to find help.

Ah!

After Bilu reminded her, Chen Guanlou remembered that Liu had said that she and her brother were the only ones left in their Liu family. Her brother was doing hard labor in the mines.

The Liu family was greedy and ruined the reputation of the Eastern Palace Prince. They were dealt with by the previous emperor, and the culprit was even executed by slow slicing. If it weren't for the Eastern Palace Prince in the past, that is, today's Emperor Jianshi, pleading for mercy, the Liu family would have been extinct long ago, and Liu would not have been able to ascend to the position of concubine and give birth to a prince.

The only brother died, and Liu is now alone and helpless.

Chen Guanlou immediately guessed the reason why Bilu appeared in his house at this time.

He said calmly, "Wait until the little prince grows up! Is it okay for you to leave the palace?"

Bilu wiped away her tears and looked at the other party, "It's okay. The queen is a concubine after all."

Oh!

Chen Guanlou did not comment.

Seeing that he never asked her why she left the palace, Bilu suddenly became a little anxious. Without caring about many things, she directly stated her purpose, "This time, the queen specially asked to visit Mr. Chen. The queen has an unwelcome request, hoping that Mr. Chen can be the little prince's teacher, without really teaching anything, just a title. I hope you can fulfill it. The queen is really too difficult in the palace!"

After saying that, she knelt down.

But she found that she couldn't kneel down no matter what. There was an invisible force stopping her.

She was terrified, and in the hot summer, she was sweating.

"Sir?" She looked up, her eyes showing panic.

"Sit down and talk if you want to talk." Chen Guanlou said indifferently, "Your madam wants me to be the master of the little prince. It's really crazy. Doesn't your madam know that I am a member of the Chen family and I am backed by the Pingjiang Marquis' Mansion. Once I agree to you, outsiders will mistakenly think that the Marquis' Mansion supports the Seventh Prince. It's ridiculous!"

"No, it won't. The madam said that your madam and the Marquis' Mansion are five degrees of mourning. Your madam is your madam and the Marquis' Mansion is the Marquis' Mansion. They have always been clearly divided." Bilu said anxiously. From her tone, it doesn't seem like she is trying to convince Chen Guanlou, but more like she is trying to convince herself.

Chen Guanlou sneered and sighed, "It was clear in the past, but it's hard to say whether it can be clear now. This matter is not changed by my will. The world regards me as a part of the Marquis's Mansion and a helper of the Marquis's Mansion. No matter how I deny it, the outside world will not change this view. Your majesty has lived in the harem for many years, and she must know such a simple truth. She really did everything for herself and the Seventh Prince!"

"It's not like that! It's really hard for the majesty in the harem! There are many new people in the harem, and Concubine Xiao is aggressive. The majesty survives in the cracks and has no chance to breathe. His Majesty likes new things and hates old things, and can't stand up for the majesty. The majesty struggles alone and suffers terribly. The majesty doesn't ask for anything, but only asks that the little prince can grow up safely. If you can be the little prince's master, the people in the harem will be more polite for you. I beg you to have some pity!"

Bilu didn't kneel down this time! Although she wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy.

She stared at him infatuatedly with her most fragile figure.

Chen Guanlou spent all day hanging out with women, so he naturally understood the meaning of Bilu's soft figure: I will do whatever you want, and you can take my hand!

But he was unmoved.

Bilu gritted her teeth and said simply: "If you can agree, the queen can arrange for beautiful maids in the harem."

Chen Guanlou held his forehead!

"Am I such a lustful person in your eyes? I will not let go of anyone who has a little bit of beauty. For the sake of beauty, I can be taken by you and have no principles, right?"
