"Hmph, you are really big-hearted." Hongying said in a strange and sinister manner.
"I won't do anything wrong, and I won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on my door. I haven't done anything to disgrace my queen, so I can relax."
Relying on Concubine Ling's favor, Hongying has always been domineering in the palace. Even the less favored nobles have to bow to her, lest she cause Concubine Ling to cause trouble for her.
This girl is good, she dares to call herself "I" in front of him, and he doesn't take her seriously at all.
"How dare you! How dare you speak to me like this? Kneel down!" Hongying scolded her sternly.
Chu Jiaoli slowly stopped, looked at her clothes up and down, and said with a chuckle: "I will follow you because I respect the imperial concubine. Looking at the clothes, you and I are on the same level. You have no right to give orders.
I."
After finishing her words, she left Hongying who was stunned in place and walked towards Leling Palace with steady steps.
Hongying was immediately furious. Even though she scolded Chu Jiaoli harshly along the way, Chu Jiaoli seemed not to hear her and stopped responding to her.
Leling Palace.
This elegant and luxurious palace is not inferior to Chu Jiaoli's Weiyang Palace.
However, after Concubine Ling was buried, she also passed by this place and was no longer as angry as before. All the treasures were moved to Weiyang Palace to prevent them from being dilapidated.
Since the death of Beigong Tengxiao's mother, Beigong Lie has not established a queen, but ordered Concubine Ling to take care of the Sixth Palace. In the eyes of everyone, she is no different from the queen.
Looking at the countless familiar treasures around her, this gorgeous arrangement suited her taste.
The house is lit with soothing incense, noble and elegant.
Through the bead curtain, Chu Jiaoli saw that luxurious figure, leaning on the beauty's couch.
She knelt down and saluted: "My slave, I pay my respects to Concubine Ling."
Concubine Ling looked lazily and tiredly, glanced at the person outside the bead curtain, and said, "What's your relationship with Sun Wanwan, girl?"
"Your Majesty, you know everything, why don't you recruit me from the real situation?" Hongying took advantage of every opportunity and said.
Chu Jiaoli took a slow breath and said: "This slave is His Highness's maid, so naturally she has nothing to do with Miss Sun."
"Really?" Concubine Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, as if she didn't believe it.
When Hongying heard Concubine Ling's tone change slightly, she immediately frowned and said sternly: "You damn girl, don't try to deceive me!"
"It's so noisy!" Concubine Ling's ears felt a little uncomfortable, and she frowned and scolded Hongying.
Hongying was so frightened that she immediately knelt down: "This slave deserves to die!"
Concubine Ling raised her slender hands and placed them on the armrest. The maid beside her was painting her nails with bright red kodan.
She looked at Chu Jiaoli lazily and said, "You have nothing to do with Sun Wanwan, why are you eavesdropping behind her?"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips and said: "Of course I have a conflict with her. Before the empress came, she was talking ill of the slave. The slave has a low status and would never dare to offend her. Then when I saw the empress
When she came, the slave didn't dare to disturb the queen and scolded her, so she didn't leave."
"Hmph." Concubine Ling snorted, not intending to believe her, and said, "I heard from the maid in the Royal Garden that Sun Wanwan helped you get rid of Hua Yuejin who was making trouble for you, and also gave you a noble gift. You two can hold hands.
His hands and manner were very affectionate."
Chu Jiaoli calmly showed a faint smile and said: "Your Majesty is a know-it-all. You should know that the banquet held by the Emperor in the Imperial Garden yesterday was to select a mate for His Royal Highness.
"And Miss Hua Er and Miss Sun are both people at the banquet. As His Highness's personal maid, I serve His Highness closely. It is normal for them to be jealous or to please.
"I have seen many women in the palace. Even if Miss Sun pretends to be close to the slave, how can she treat the slave sincerely?
"Yesterday, Miss Sun forcefully gave the gift to the slave, but the slave did not want to accept it. However, the slave spoke softly, thinking that after the empress taught Miss Sun a lesson, Miss Sun would lose her status, so she could return the gift. Unexpectedly, His Highness discovered that she had already
I reprimanded the servant for his stupid behavior, and the gift was handed over to His Highness intact."
"You are not stupid." Concubine Ling glanced at her lightly and said, "I thought you were a timid person, but I was mistaken."
Chu Jiaoli said calmly: "If this slave is really Miss Sun's, and she just sat idly by while Miss Sun was being trained, and Miss Sun finds out, I'm afraid I won't be so lucky to see the empress today."
Concubine Ling gently raised the corners of her lips and said, "Come forward."
"Yes." Chu Jiaoli stepped forward, opened the bead curtain, and knelt down in front of her.
Concubine Ling stretched out her hand to lift her chin and looked at her exquisite facial features. She was much more beautiful than Sun Wanwan yesterday.
"What a beautiful little girl." Concubine Ling squeezed her fingers slightly and sneered, "Although the expensive gift from Miss Sun is not priceless, it is worth your monthly salary for a year. It cannot buy you.
You are not a simple person. If you were someone close to His Majesty, I will definitely kill you with one sword to avoid future troubles."
As soon as these words came out, all the maids couldn't help but shudder. The maid who applied the kodan flower juice on her broke into a cold sweat. Suddenly, her hands shook with nervousness, and the plate of kodan flower juice fell to the ground with a "clack".
The maid was shocked and turned pale. She immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "My Majesty, please forgive me! My Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Bold!" Concubine Ling patted the armrest hard and sat up, "Today is my birthday, and you are so unruly!"
All the maids were so frightened that they knelt down and knocked their heads to the ground, not daring to lift them up.
Chu Jiaoli rolled her eyes. It turned out that today was Concubine Ling's birthday. She didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse for her.
Concubine Ling smiled coldly, pulled her collar closer to her, and then raised her face to show Chu Jiaoli.
This maid is indeed a pretty little beauty, with skin that can be broken by blows, and a tearful look that is very pitiful, but unfortunately she has a striking scar on her left cheek, as if she was cut with a sharp weapon.
"She used to be a beauty, but the only reason is that she doesn't have eyesight. She doesn't hide away when she sees His Majesty. She insists on wishful thinking. I have no choice but to teach her a lesson."
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Ling let her go. She immediately knelt down and clasped her hands: "My queen, please forgive me! This slave deserves to die!"
Looking at her appearance, it was clear that she wanted to incriminate her. Chu Jiaoli slowly exhaled and said, "Do you know, my Majesty, why I want to say that Miss Sun hates this slave?"
Concubine Ling raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Why?"
After finishing her words, Chu Jiaoli stretched out her hands. The ugly scars on the back of her hands shocked Concubine Ling: "Ouch! What terrible hands!"
Chu Jiaoli said calmly: "Miss Sun just spit on slave girl's hands when she saw them. She was afraid of scaring the queen. I kept covering them with my sleeves. This move was just to make the queen dispel her worries. Hands like slave girls,
How can it be compared with your delicate and delicate hands? If I have offended you, please forgive me."
