The Legend of Concubine Su

Chapter 130 Palace Maid Caiyue

In the deep courtyard of the Imperial Palace, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden glow over the magnificent palace. That day, the Emperor, troubled by court affairs, drank a few more glasses of wine at the banquet, becoming tipsy.

Palace maid Caiyue was busy as usual in the palace. She was graceful and elegant, her eyes gleaming with a touch of spirit. Today, she had a special mission: to deliver hangover soup to the Emperor. This made her both nervous and excited, as this was her first opportunity to be up close and personal with the Emperor.

When Caiyue arrived before the Emperor with the hangover soup, she discovered he was already unconscious, stumbling and dazed. Cautiously, she approached him and softly called out, "Your Majesty, please have some hangover soup." However, the Emperor didn't respond, instead hugging her tightly, as if she were his only support. Caiyue felt the Emperor's heavy body and scorching breath, and her panic grew.

The Emperor's words were heavily intoxicated, and he spoke incoherently, "Caiyue, do you know how I feel about you?" His hands roamed over Caiyue's body, causing her to tremble. She tried to break free, but the Emperor's strength was too great, and she couldn't move at all. At this moment, the Emperor suddenly lowered his head and kissed Caiyue on the lips. Caiyue's eyes widened, completely at a loss.

Caiyue's face was as pale as paper, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She tried to persuade the emperor with words: "Your Majesty, you are drunk, please rest early." However, the emperor didn't listen at all. His eyes became more and more fiery, like a burning flame, as if to melt Caiyue.

"I'm not drunk!" the emperor roared loudly, his voice deafening, full of majesty and dominance. "Tonight, you are mine!" He pulled hard, and a corner of Caiyue's clothes was torn open, revealing her fair skin.

Tears welled up in Caiyue's eyes, her gaze revealing despair and helplessness. She knew she couldn't escape the emperor's clutches, and on this drunken night, her fate seemed sealed. Her heart was filled with fear and unease, but she dared not resist, only enduring in silence.

The Emperor roughly ripped Caiyue's clothes from her body. The thin silk shredded easily in his hands, making a crisp tearing sound. Caiyue's skin was as white as snow, delicate and smooth, emitting an alluring luster in the candlelight. The Emperor's hands roamed eagerly over Caiyue's body, caressing every inch of her skin, feeling her warmth and softness. His breathing became heavy, and desire grew in his heart.

Caiyue closed her eyes tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her body trembled slightly, but she was unable to resist the Emperor's invasion. The Emperor's kisses rained down on Caiyue's neck and chest, his tongue gently licking her skin, bringing a tingling sensation.

Caiyue clutched the bedsheets tightly with both hands, trying to keep herself calm. However, the emperor's movements became increasingly intense, and her body gradually lost control. Her lips parted slightly, and she let out a faint moan.

Lying on the luxurious dragon bed, Caiyue closed her eyes tightly, her body trembling slightly as she endured the emperor's wanton plunder. Her fingers gripped the edge of the bed tightly, as if trying to suppress her inner fear. The emperor, his eyes hazy with drunkenness, roughly roamed his hands over Caiyue's body, his mouth occasionally emitting low gasps.

After a night of sleep, the Emperor slowly awoke in the morning sunlight. He rubbed his eyes and saw Caiyue beside him, a moment of daze after his hangover. Caiyue silently rose, her movements gentle and slow, as if afraid to wake the Emperor. She carefully arranged her clothes, each movement a testament to her caution.

After finishing, Caiyue slowly knelt on the ground, head bowed, not daring to look up at the emperor. Her hands rested on her knees, clenched tightly, her nails digging into her flesh. Her body trembled slightly, revealing her inner tension and anxiety.

Soon after, the Empress learned of this. A virtuous and tolerant woman, she understood the difficult fates faced by women in the palace. She arrived at the Emperor's chambers, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard of last night's events. Since the maid Caiyue is already serving Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will grant her a proper status to prevent her from being criticized in the palace."

The emperor frowned, seeming to feel some regret for his absurd behavior last night, but he also understood that what the queen said made sense. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then make her a concubine."

The news spread quickly throughout the palace, and Caiyue went from being an unknown maid to becoming a concubine overnight. However, this sudden change of identity did not bring her much joy.

In the eyes of the other concubines in the palace, Caiyue was just a maid who had risen to power by luck, and they were full of jealousy and contempt for her. Caiyue herself was well aware of the dangers in the palace, and she treated everyone with caution, fearing that she would make a mistake.

Days passed, and Caiyue's life in the palace was unhappy. The emperor's favor for her was only fleeting that one night, and after that, he rarely thought of her again. Caiyue could only endure the fickleness of fate alone in this lonely palace.

Until one day, a grand banquet was held in the palace. Caiyue saw the emperor again at the banquet, and a sense of anticipation surged in her heart. However, the emperor's eyes only glanced at her briefly before turning to other concubines. Caiyue's heart instantly sank to the bottom, and she realized how insignificant and insignificant she was in this palace.

From then on, Caiyue no longer had any illusions about the emperor. She began to study the etiquette and rules of the palace and get along well with other palace maids and concubines. Gradually, she also won the respect and friendship of some people in the palace.

Although Caiyue's life is no longer as thrilling as it used to be, she still lives strong in this palace, waiting for the turning point that may come again.

As time went by, Caiyue, with her intelligence and perseverance, gradually established herself in the harem. She began to participate in the management of some palace affairs, and her unique insights and delicate approach won her widespread praise. The concubines who once mocked her were forced to reconsider this former maid, now Caiyue.

One day, a war erupted on the border, leaving the court officials helpless and the emperor deeply concerned. By chance, Caiyue heard about this. While she knew the rules prohibiting imperial harem interference in government affairs, her inner sense of justice and her concern for the country prevented her from standing idly by. So, she cleverly passed on a carefully compiled war plan to the emperor through the eunuchs and maids close to her.

The emperor was astonished upon reading it. This war plan was not only insightful but also meticulously crafted, as if it were the work of a seasoned general. After investigating, the emperor learned the origin of the plan and was impressed by Caiyue. He realized that this seemingly fragile woman possessed wisdom and courage comparable to that of a man.

From then on, the emperor's attitude towards Caiyue changed dramatically. He no longer viewed her as just an ordinary concubine, but began to entrust her with important tasks and involve her in discussions on state affairs. Caiyue lived up to the emperor's expectations, contributing her wisdom and hard work to the peace and prosperity of the country.

Caiyue's status in the harem rose rapidly, but she remained humble and kind. Her actions influenced those around her, bringing harmony and beauty to the harem. Her story became a legend both within and beyond the palace, and she became a role model for countless women.

Caiyue herself also found her own value and meaning in this series of experiences. She understood that no matter what situation she was in, as long as she maintained an unyielding heart and dared to pursue her dreams and ideals, she would be able to create a brilliant life of her own.
