Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Chapter 45: 45 Consort Jing — Ye Wanqiu

”How dare you, little eunuch, didn’t you hear me talking to you?”

A woman dressed in a blue elegant gown, her appearance quite beautiful, but her expression fierce, walked up to Chen Mo and rebuked him.

Clearly being served by eunuchs and palace maids, she was evidently a master. Chen Mo bowed and said, ”I don’t know, who is it, my lady?”

”Bah, such an unobservant little eunuch, not even recognizing my lady.”

The woman hadn’t finished speaking when the palace maid behind her glared at Chen Mo arrogantly and then said, ”Little eunuch, remember well, my lady resides in the Jade Virtue Palace.”

”Consort Yu...”

Before Chen Mo could react, Cai’Er beside him heard this and her face changed immediately, and she hurriedly bowed in salute: ”Greetings, Lady Yu Fei.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo also reacted, frowning slightly. As far as he knew, Consort Yu and Consort Qing were notorious in the harem for their bad tempers and being rather cold-blooded and ruthless, often beating palace maids and eunuchs to death...

Thus, the servants in the harem would involuntarily shiver upon hearing the names of Consort Yu and Consort Qing.

Moreover, Consort Yu’s brother was also a general in the court, a Third Grade master.

”So, it’s Lady Yu Fei.” Chen Mo once again bowed.

”Since you know who I am, why haven’t you executed this cat as I commanded?” Consort Yu glared coldly at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo frowned.

”No.”

Another woman in a pink elegant gown spoke up, then looked at Consort Yu and said, ”Sister Yu, I beg... you, please spare Riceball.”

The orange cat’s name was Riceball.

”Of course not; this fat cat scared my lady and almost hurt her, it must be executed.” Consort Yu hadn’t spoken yet when the palace maid beside her insisted, and then looked at Chen Mo: ”Little eunuch, why are you dawdling, act quickly!”

”Nonsense, Riceball was lying there peacefully, it was clearly... Lady Yu Fei who threw a stone at it, and Riceball was frightened and then...”

Seeing the palace maid dare to rebuke her mistress, the palace maid behind the woman in the pink gown couldn’t resist speaking up.

”How dare you.” Consort Yu’s palace maid reprimanded again, then turned her gaze back to Chen Mo and said, ”Which palace’s eunuch are you, how does your master teach you, not even listening to my lady.”

Chen Mo’s face turned a little dark; this palace maid kept calling him a little eunuch, making him almost want to slap her.

Chen Mo stroked the orange cat’s head, took a deep breath, and said, ”Lady Yu Fei, you are of noble stature, it’s not worth it to pick on a fat cat. Why not be kind and spare the cat’s life?”

The woman in the pink gown had just instructed her palace maid not to be rude, and when she heard Chen Mo’s words, she was stunned, then turned grateful eyes toward him, but the panic in her eyes did not dissipate, saying:

”Sister Yu, on behalf of Riceball, I apologize to you. Look, Riceball didn’t hurt you, Sister Yu, please spare it.”

”No, even a beast dares to frighten me; if I don’t execute it as a warning, how will I manage my subordinates in the future?” Consort Yu remained firm, then said in the same tone as her palace maid: ”Little eunuch, why aren’t you acting yet?”

”Ah...”

Suddenly, Chen Mo cried out in pain as the orange cat in his arms leaped and dashed away in a flash.

Don’t be fooled by this orange cat’s fat appearance.

Its escape speed was surprisingly quick.

Chen Mo rubbed his arm and said, ”That damn fat cat actually dared to scratch me...”

He then bowed to Consort Yu and said, ”Lady Yu Fei, I’m sorry, it got away. Would you like me to catch it for you?”

”You...” Consort Yu’s eyes widened. Being a clever person, how could she not see that Chen Mo had deliberately let the cat slip away, so she said, ”You have a lot of nerve; how does your master discipline you...”

”Xiao An, Xiao Le, Xiao Qin, beat him to death for me!”

Consort Yu pointed at Chen Mo.

Immediately, three eunuchs behind Consort Yu stepped forward and surrounded Chen Mo.

”Stop... stop.” The woman in the pink gown wanted to intervene but was pushed away by Consort Yu as soon as she stepped forward.

The woman in the pink gown was quite frail, and without standing firm, she fell in front of Chen Mo.

Yet, the three eunuchs did not stop; instead, they stepped over the woman in the pink gown and started to attack Chen Mo.

”Bang!”

”Bang!”

”Bang!”

”Ouch...”

Three cries of agony rang out. In no time, Chen Mo swiftly knocked the three eunuchs to the ground.

”You... you have a lot of guts, how dare you fight back, no...” The palace maid behind Consort Yu couldn’t finish her sentence, intimidated into silence by Chen Mo’s glare.

Such a terrifying look.

”You... you dare to strike my people, do you wish to live? Which palace are you from, I’ll go report you to your master.” Consort Yu’s brows furrowed deeply, her True Qi stirring.

”Reporting to Lady Yu Fei, this servant is Chen Hong of Weiyang Palace.” Chen Mo displayed the Weiyang Palace waist badge.

”Brother Hong has been noticed by the State Preceptor and even joined the Shenxiao Sect.”

Perhaps fearing this intimidation was insufficient for Consort Yu, Cai’Er gathered her courage to whisper.

Upon hearing this.

Consort Yu was utterly speechless.

As for the palace maid behind her, she turned pale as paper.

The Empress, she is the leader of the Empress, and all the concubines in the harem have to answer to her.

She also comes from the Xiao family, and the current Patriarch of the Xiao family is her biological father.

Consort Yu could hardly compare to the Empress.

As for complaining to the Emperor.

Don’t even joke.

The reason for Consort Yu’s violent temper was that three years ago, since Consort Yu entered the palace, the Emperor hadn’t visited her once.

Thus, the news of Consort Yu being out of favor spread throughout the palace, and even the title of Consort Yu was granted by His Majesty as a favor to her brother.

Gradually, Consort Yu’s temper became irascible, punishing any servant who displeased her with beatings, and not few were beaten to death.

”Chen Hong! I’ll remember you, let’s go.” Consort Yu flicked her sleeve, leading the palace maid and injured eunuchs away.

”Uh... my lady, are you okay?” Chen Mo helped the woman up.

”No... it’s fine, thank you.”

After standing up, the woman meant to let go of Chen Mo, but suddenly feeling pain in her knees, she fell entirely into Chen Mo’s embrace, held tightly in his arms.

”My lady...” The palace maid serving the woman quickly stepped forward.

After examining her, they found that when the woman fell earlier, her knee was injured.

”My lady, are you alright...?” Chen Mo hurriedly let go of the woman and handed her over to her palace maid.

The woman’s face was flushed red, the blush even spreading to her neck. After a while, she shook her head.

Seeing she was alright, Chen Mo intended to leave immediately, yet not knowing her name seemed impolite, so he asked, ”May I ask your name, my lady?”

”Ye Wanqiu, you can call me Consort Jing.”
