Xue Tianxiang was very excited in her heart, but she looked calm and said: "I like it very much. Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan wishes to see you." At this time, Eunuch Xu's voice came from outside.
When Xue Tianxiang heard this name, a cold look flashed in her eyes, but it was fleeting.
Emperor Hongyuan hurriedly said: "Concubine Wan, what's wrong with her? Announce it quickly!"
As soon as Emperor Hongyuan finished speaking, Dong Shishi walked in with an aggrieved look.
"Your Majesty, it turns out that you are here with my sister, making it difficult for me to find concubines." After Dong Shishi walked in, she quickly walked up to Emperor Hongyuan, threw herself into his arms, and started crying.
Emperor Hongyuan glanced at Xue Tianxiang with some embarrassment, then patted Dong Shishi on the back and comforted him: "What's wrong, my dear concubine? Did someone bully you?"
Dong Shishi shook her head sadly, "No, I just had a nightmare!"
Emperor Hongyuan said: "Oh, it's just a nightmare, don't be afraid. Dreams are all fake, don't take it to heart."
"No, Your Majesty, that dream is so real. I dreamed that the Emperor didn't want me anymore. I was so scared at the time that I woke up." Dong Shishi said, leaning her head on Emperor Hongyuan's arms again, and said lovingly, "Your Majesty
, I need your company every day so that I can fall asleep. Without you tonight, I am not used to it at all, so I had a nightmare."
Seeing Dong Shishi like this, Emperor Hongyuan looked distressed.
He really wished he could go and accompany her now.
But he glanced at Xue Tianxiang, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this scene, both Xue Tianxiang and Amina looked very ugly.
Especially Xue Tianxiang, she clenched her fists fiercely.
Is this Dong Shishi here to compete with her for the throne?
This month, the Emperor mostly rested at Dong Shishi's place. It took a lot of effort to come to her for just one day, but for this bitch to come and wreak havoc, it was really too much.
She was so angry that she was about to explode, but she still held it back.
She took a deep breath, changed her appearance to a gentle and dignified look, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you see how much my sister is attached to you? You haven't been with her for just one night, and she already has nightmares! Otherwise, Your Majesty,
Please go to Jinhua Palace to accompany your sister tonight!"
"But what should you do? I promised to accompany you." Emperor Hongyuan apologized.
Xue Tianxiang shook her head magnanimously, "I'm fine, Your Majesty, my sister needs you more, you should go and accompany her!"
Anyway, she can't keep people, but she can't keep her heart. She might as well be a favor and gain Dong Shishi's trust.
When Dong Shishi heard this, she looked in disbelief.
Why is this Xue Tianxiang so generous? She is actually willing to give up the emperor to her.
It's really strange.
Seeing Xue Tianxiang like this, Emperor Hongyuan was very moved. He nodded appreciatively, "My dear concubine, you are really sensible. Then I will come to accompany you another day."
At this time, Dong Shishi suddenly stared at the ruby head and face and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, this head and face is so beautiful. Look, the ruby on it is so big. Did you give it to your sister?"
Emperor Hongyuan nodded, "Well, I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to build this for Concubine Xue."
Dong Shishi rolled her eyes sourly and said, "The emperor is so kind to my sister, and my sister is so happy."
Emperor Hongyuan was about to speak when Xue Tianxiang suddenly said: "Sister, if you like this head and face, I will give it to you."
Dong Shishi stared at Xue Tianxiang in surprise.
Why is Concubine Xue so generous? She is even willing to give her the things the emperor has given her.
What kind of medicine is she selling in her gourd?
She pretended to refuse and said: "Sister, this is a reward from the emperor. How dare you ask for it?"
Xue Tianxiang walked over, picked up the headband, put it on Dong Shishi's head, and praised with a smile: "Sister, you and I are a family. The emperor gave it to me, and it was given to you. This headband suits you very well.
It looks good on you, Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Emperor Hongyuan glanced at Xue Tianxiang with admiration, tugged his beard and said with a smile: "It looks good. Concubine Wan wears it and it really adds a lot of brilliance."
As he said that, he looked at Xue Tianxiang again and said: "Xue Fei, you are virtuous, know etiquette, generous and humble, and you really have the style of a mother caring for the world. It seems that I am right to hand over the Phoenix Seal to you. With such a good appearance
Just give it to Shishi, and I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a new one for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xue Tianxiang hurriedly saluted Emperor Hongyuan.
She lowered her head and frowned coldly.
She knew that Emperor Hongyuan would reward her again, so she was willing to give it to Dong Shishi.
This is called giving up to get something.
And compared with power, what is a good appearance?
As long as she has supreme power, it doesn't matter how much she sacrifices.
-
After Emperor Hongyuan and Dong Shishi left, Xue Tianxiang sat on the chair, her fingernails dug deeply into the armrests, and her face was also covered in shadow.
When Jin Chuan saw everyone leaving, he said angrily: "My Lady, this Concubine Wan is so shameless! You are clearly the one who is going to bed tonight, but she actually called the Emperor away. It's really too much!"
It was rare for Amina to be angry, "That's right. She also wanted to take away the queen's favorite head and face. This is too bullying!"
Xue Tianxiang said coldly: "Forget it! If she wants it, I'll give it to her. It's just a prestige. I can afford it!"
Jin Chuan said: "This Concubine Wan is too petty and wants to steal her reputation. Compared with her, the empress is really generous. But empress, you don't have to give in to her in everything. What if she is favored again?"
That person's position is not as high as yours. You are the master of the harem, why should you keep tolerating her?"
Xue Tianxiang rolled her eyes and said, "Jinchuan, have you forgotten what I said last time?"
Jin Chuan said: "The empress is talking about flattery and killing? I don't dare to forget it. It's just that the empress has been tolerating her like this, and I'm really afraid that she will go too far."
"Your Majesty, you don't know that this Concubine Wan has been favored by the Emperor recently, and everyone looks down upon her. She often bullies the concubines and servants who are not favored, and even does not give face to the fourth concubine. I am really afraid that she will also bully you in the future.
.”
Xue Tianxiang narrowed her eyes with a sneer, "It doesn't matter, it's best for her to be like this. This is a good time for us to make friends with those concubines."
After saying that, she looked at Jin Chuan and ordered: "Jin Chuan, tomorrow you pick some good things and send them to the concubines who have been bullied by Concubine Wan. Amina, you should also hang out with Concubine Wan's servants more.
Pay more attention to them."
"Yes, empress." The two said.
A coldness flashed in Xue Tianxiang's eyes, now was a good time for her to win over those concubines.
Only by winning people's hearts can she defeat Dong Shishi.

After returning to Jinhua Hall, Dong Shishi first sang a song to Emperor Hongyuan.
After the song ended, she pulled the gauze on her shoulders and walked towards Emperor Hongyuan seductively.
Seeing Dong Shishi's exposed shoulders and beautiful appearance, Emperor Hongyuan couldn't help but breathe quickly, and his eyes were full of desire when he looked at her.
