Under the ambiguous lighting, Su Qingwen's small face emitted an alluring glow. Her pupils were as clear as water and glistened. She raised her eyes, and pride and radiance appeared on her charming face, making her look dazzling.
"You..." Concubine Ka's face suddenly changed color. She covered her lips in surprise. "It's actually you, Su Qingwen!"
"Right." Su Qingwen raised her head haughtily. "I'm the emperor's favorite concubine. Why can't I be here? Let me tell you, don't look down on people. Can you just beat up eunuchs casually?"
"Favorite concubine?" Concubine Ka murmured these two words, and a hint of hatred appeared in her eyes. She tightly grasped her fingers and stared at Hua Yueye painfully.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get out!" Hua Yueye scolded in a low voice.
Finally, unable to bear the successive blows, Concubine Ka immediately turned around and ran out.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into a white figure. Li Ruhua was really speechless. Being bumped into every day was really bad luck.
"Concubine Ka?" She looked at the crying woman in front of her and couldn't help asking in surprise, "What's going on?"
"Who are you?" Concubine Ka had never seen Li Ruhua in women's clothing. At first glance, she thought she was another little vixen and immediately vented her anger on her. "Are you a newly-entranced concubine?"
"What are you talking about? I'm not a concubine." Li Ruhua frowned and straightened her back.
"Humph, you look quite good. You must be in the same group as that bitch Su Qingwen. What? Do you also want to go to the emperor? Don't even think about it. He's having a good time with Su Qingwen now!" Concubine Ka said maliciously.
"What?" Li Ruhua's face indeed turned a little paler. She tightly clasped her fingers and gritted her teeth. That was the bathing area inside. Hua Yueye was actually taking a bath with Su Qingwen!
"Can it be fake?" Concubine Ka said resentfully.
Li Ruhua took a deep breath and hid the hatred in her heart. Then she pulled Concubine Ka over. "Your Highness, I don't like that Su Qingwen either. How about this? Let's cooperate and teach that girl a good lesson. What do you think?"
"Really?" Concubine Ka was simple-minded. After just a few words, she was won over by Li Ruhua. She immediately asked eagerly, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Li Ruhua thought of Hua Yueye and Su Qingwen's meeting tonight, and her eyes changed a little. She leaned close to Concubine Ka and whispered a few words.
"Will it work?" The woman looked up doubtfully.
"Of course it will. Just wait and watch the show then." Li Ruhua sneered with a cold expression.
Su Qingwen, this time, I will surely make you make a complete fool of yourself in front of Hua Yueye. Let's see how you can seduce him in the future.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Hua Yueye and Su Qingwen were standing face to face. The atmosphere was so awkward that it seemed to freeze. Finally, Su Qingwen took the initiative to speak. "Tell me, when did you recognize me?"
"I recognized you as soon as you came in. Su Qingwen, can't you even wait for a while? You want to see me right now!" Hua Yueye gave her a teasing look and joked.
"Come on, don't be so narcissistic." Su Qingwen shook her head. What she was thinking was that the mission was probably going to fail. She crossed her arms and looked at Hua Yueye. "Well, do you still want me to scrub your back? If not, I'll leave."
"Forget it." Hua Yueye shook his head. Suddenly, he lost all his mood. "I'll come to see you later. Let's have dinner together."
"Okay." Su Qingwen walked out helplessly. She couldn't help feeling gloomy. How was she going to complete the mission later?
Suddenly, she saw something seemed to be thrown on the ground. She glanced at it curiously and subconsciously picked it up.
"Thank you, eunuch." An maid suddenly walked out from beside her and took the thing from her hand.
Only then did Su Qingwen realize that it was a pearl hairpin worn on a woman's head. Maybe it had just fallen on the ground.
"It's okay." It was just a small favor, so Su Qingwen didn't take it to heart. She waved her hand, indicating for the woman to leave.
[System: Congratulations to the host for completing the mission.]
"What?" Su Qingwen was still in a daze. What had she done? Why had she completed the mission all of a sudden?
[Didn't you just help pick up something? So, the Good Deed Card is considered completed...]
The system said it as a matter of course, but Su Qingwen looked at it in confusion. If she had known it was so simple, why had she gone to so much trouble?
"Okay." Su Qingwen walked back with difficulty. Finally, she returned to her palace. She was so tired that she slumped onto the bed. She was just about to close her eyes and have a good rest.
Two little maids suddenly walked in and said with their heads down, "Your Highness Concubine Xian, the emperor just sent someone to bring you a set of clothes. He said he wants you to wear it and go to see him later."
"What's this? A gift?" Su Qingwen opened her eyes wide, and a look of confusion flashed across her eyes. She stood up straight and went over to take a look.
It was a delicate box, and inside it was a water-blue strapless long dress placed neatly. The neckline was very low, looking very sexy.
Immediately, Su Qingwen's face turned red. She bit her lips slightly. "Is Hua Yueye out of his mind? Why did he send this kind of clothes?"
"Um, this servant doesn't know either. You should just put it on." The two little maids exchanged a look and immediately tried to persuade her. "This is the emperor's kindness. If you don't accept it, it would be too heartless. Your Highness Concubine Xian, this is a great favor from the emperor."
"Okay, okay." Finally, Su Qingwen couldn't stand their chattering anymore. "I'll put it on. But I've been tired all day and I want to take a bath. We'll talk about it later."
Saying that, she quickly walked into the inner room.
Before long, the figures of Concubine Ka and Li Ruhua appeared at the corner. They looked inside and discussed in a low voice.
"Do you think Su Qingwen will really put on that dress?" Concubine Ka tiptoed and asked in a low voice.
"She definitely will. After all, it's a reward from the emperor. How dare she refuse? Just relax. As long as she puts on the tampered dress, she will surely make a fool of herself." Li Ruhua patted Concubine Ka on the shoulder.
"I'll surely reward you handsomely after it's done. You can rest assured on this." Concubine Ka rubbed her hands excitedly. She couldn't wait to see Su Qingwen embarrassed.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came. The two of them were startled and immediately slipped away through the back door.
