Chapter 685: Consort Liu

Li Dahong's widow, the little widow Liu, a concubine of the Donggong, has now been promoted to Consort, known as Consort Liu.

Consort Liu has a son, ranked seventh, young, and has already started school.

Consort Xiao is favored in the harem, often targeting Consort Liu, giving her embarrassment. The Empress watches from the sidelines, basically not intervening, watching Consort Liu suffer bullying.

Consort Liu cannot count on the Emperor's favor, and the child is young, not yet at the time of mother being expensive because of the child. Child being expensive because of the mother, she is now a Consort, but she is not expensive.

Other women in the harem have maternal families to rely on, whether small or large, they have maternal family members. Only Consort Liu, her maternal family is all dead.

The only brother, after many years of hard labor, finally got amnesty, but because his body was hollowed out by hard labor, he died of illness on the way back to the capital.

Since then, she has no maternal family members left in the world.

No reliance, the child is young, the harem fights fiercely, and a new batch of beauties has entered. The Emperor is addicted to the new beauties, thinking of them, the old ones, and asking two sentences, if not thinking of them, forget it.

Days are hard to endure.

She must find a helper for herself!

She thought of Chen Guanlou; the other party was her only best choice.

Chen Guanlou went home from work, and the neighbor, Sister Chunxiang, told him someone was looking for him, and had been waiting for a long time. It was a beautiful big girl.

"Looking at that appearance, quite handsome, just a bit old. Could it be a romantic debt you left behind, and now people are looking for you to take responsibility."

Chen Guanlou, upon hearing this, couldn't laugh or cry.

"Sister, words can't be spoken indiscriminately. You know my temper, I never provoke good women, where did the romantic debt come from."

He now keeps away from little widows, to avoid spreading rumors and having people come to him to take responsibility.

Little widows are good, but not as good as being single!

There are so many sisters outside, all waiting for him. He doesn't bother to entangle with good women. Reputation or not doesn't matter, he is just worried about subsequent trouble, pestering him to take responsibility.

Sister Chunxiang didn't believe it.

Chen Guanlou was too lazy to explain, went in and took a look, eh, really know her.

Liu's maid, what was her name?

"What was your name?" He couldn't remember for a while.

"The slave is Bilu, I have seen my lord!"

Liu's head maid, now the head palace maid beside Consort Liu, the head confidant.

"Right, you are Bilu. If you have anything to say, go to my house and say it."

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

"Is Consort Liu okay?" Chen Guanlou exchanged pleasantries.

"The Consort is all good! It's just a pity that the Consort's brother passed away on the way back to the capital." The head maid Bilu took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Age has come up, and people have grown up, not stunning, but also a beauty. It's just a pity that she is still a palace maid. The determination to climb the high branch back then was so great, but after several years of tossing and turning, she didn't expect to still not climb the high branch.

Clearly, Bilu's beauty, in the harem with many beauties, has no characteristics and cannot attract the Jian Shi Emperor's attention at all.

Those more beautiful than her, young, and interesting beauties are a lot. A small palace maid, without prominent characteristics, how can she get her wish.

Even Liu, who was beautiful enough to be heart-shaking, has already lost favor and had to send her out of the palace to find help.

Ah!

Reminded by Bilu, Chen Guanlou remembered that back then Liu said that their Liu family only had her and a brother left. The brother served hard labor in the mine.

The Liu family was greedy and corrupted the reputation of the Donggong Crown Prince, and was dealt with by the late Emperor, and the culprit was even sliced to death. If it weren't for the former Donggong Crown Prince, that is, the Jian Shi Emperor today, pleading for mercy, the Liu family would have been extinct, and Liu would not have been able to toss and turn to the Consort position and give birth to a prince.

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

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

He remained calm, "It will be fine when the little prince grows up! Is it okay for you to leave the palace?"

Bilu wiped away her tears, looking at him, "It's okay. The Consort is a concubine after all."

Oh!

Chen Guanlou was noncommittal.

Seeing that he still wouldn't ask why she had left the palace or what the matter was, Bili grew anxious. Unable to care about much else, she stated her purpose directly, "This time, the Imperial Consort specifically instructed me to come and visit Master Chen. The Imperial Consort has a request that is difficult to voice; she hopes Master Chen can become the little Imperial Prince's master. You don't really need to teach him anything; just hold the title. I hope you will grant this favor. The Imperial Consort is truly having a very hard time in the palace!"

After saying that, she knelt down.

But found that no matter what, she couldn't kneel down. An invisible force stopped her.

She was terrified, in midsummer, and broke out in a sweat.

"My lord?" She looked up, her eyes full of uncontrollable panic and helplessness.

"If you have anything to say, sit down and say it." Chen Guanlou's tone was light, "Your Consort wants me to be the little prince's teacher, it's really whimsical. Doesn't your Consort know that I am a member of the Chen clan, and behind me is the Marquis Mansion of Pingjiang. Once I agree to you, in the eyes of outsiders, it will be mistaken for the Marquis Mansion supporting the Seventh Prince. It's simply absurd!"

"No, that won't happen. The Imperial Consort said that Master and the Hou Fu are beyond the five degrees of mourning; Master is Master, and the Hou Fu is the Hou Fu, and it has always been kept clearly distinct," Bili said urgently. Judging by her tone, it didn't sound like she was trying to persuade Chen Guanlou, but rather trying to persuade herself.

Chen Guanlou sneered, sighing, "In the past, it was clearly separated; now whether it can be clearly separated is hard to say. This matter is not changed by my will; the world regards me as a member of the Marquis Mansion, as a helper of the Marquis Mansion, no matter how I deny it, the outside world will not change this view. Your Consort has lived in the harem for many years, so she should know such a simple truth. She, for herself, for the Seventh Prince, is truly unscrupulous!"

"It's not like that! The Imperial Consort is truly having a hard time in the inner palace! Newcomers emerge one after another, and on top of that, Imperial Consort Xiao is aggressive; the Imperial Consort is struggling in the cracks, with hardly any chance to breathe. His Majesty is fickle and cannot stand up for the Imperial Consort. The Imperial Consort struggles alone, suffering unspeakable bitterness. The Imperial Consort asks for nothing else, only that the little Imperial Prince can grow up safely. If Master could be the little Imperial Prince's master, everyone in the inner palace would show some courtesy for Master's sake. This servant begs Master to show some pity!"

Bilu didn't kneel down this time! Although she wanted to kneel down and plead very much.

She looked at him foolishly with the softest posture: whatever you want, I will take it!

Chen Guanlou was unmoved.

But he remained unmoved.

Chen Guanlou held his forehead!

"In your eyes, am I such a lustful person? Regardless of whether there is a bit of appearance, I won't let go. For the sake of beauty, I can be whatever you want, without principles or bottom line, right?" ===== CHAPTER 686 =====

"In your eyes, am I just such a lecherous sort? That I won't let go of anyone with a bit of beauty? A person who can be manipulated by you at will for the sake of beauty, without any principles or bottom line, is that it?"
