Concubine Qing snorted coldly, and Luo Xia added: "But now the Eighth Prince has become a monk, and the Ninth Prince has been ill in bed all year round, leaving only the Tenth Prince and the Twelfth Prince... Humph! Cousin, why are everyone protecting you? That bitch!"
Concubine Qing said angrily: "If you had her ability, you wouldn't have to worry about no one protecting you!"
"I...don't I still have you, my cousin?"
Concubine Qing sneered: "Me? Who am I now? I used to have the power to co-manage the harem, but now that it's gone, what else can I do!"
Luo Xia said anxiously: "Cousin, it wasn't me who harmed you, it was all that stinky girl! I don't know if the emperor heard the bastard words she said. If he did, he would definitely not punish us alone!"
"What? Do you think that the emperor will deal with it impartially after hearing this? Let me tell you, you are lucky that the slap did not hit you today, otherwise..." With that, he told how Shen Huan had offended Concubine Pei just after entering the palace. How did Concubine Pei beat her but was grounded?
Luo Xia was stunned when she heard this, and asked blankly: "She is so powerful... Then, does the Queen Mother not care about these things?"
"Queen Mother?" Concubine Qing laughed angrily and said, "Why do you think the Emperor didn't favor the new mistress before? Wasn't it because he was afraid that the Queen Mother would do something bad to Shen Huan, so he used the heir as a bargaining chip to make the Queen Mother not dare to touch her!"
"Wha...what? Your Majesty, he even dared to...for that cheap maidservant, the Queen Mother..."
Concubine Qing stopped talking, just closed her eyes to rest, and slowly suppressed the anger in her heart.
Luo Xia was stunned for a long time and then said slowly: "Could it be that...she is really a monster?"
Monster! She must be a monster!
If not, why would the emperor indulge her like that?
He had killed her whole family, but he kept her, treated her so well, and treated her so gracefully!
What trick did she use? What magic trick did she use to make the emperor value her so much?
The two people here are worried, and someone over there has already told the concubine Fu of Xianfu Palace about this matter.
Concubine Fu held the tea bowl in one hand, and gently used the tea lid to stir the tea leaves in the bowl with the other hand. After listening, she said lightly: "I know, go down and receive the reward!"
He took a sip slowly and said casually: "This tea is really good."
The maid next to her, Xiang Sui, said: "It was a reward from the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said that she was not used to Liu'an tea, but she remembered that when she was a girl, she loved drinking it at home, so she specially rewarded it."
Concubine Fu smiled and said: "My aunt is the only one who cares about me. Let's go and see if the snacks made in the small kitchen are ready. Choose some sweet and soft ones and put them in the four-happiness food box. Choose a smart girl. Send it over, just say it’s my filial piety.”
Xiangsui hurriedly replied: "Yes" and ordered people to go, while coming back to serve him.
Concubine Fu put down the tea bowl and said calmly: "This Shen Huan is quite capable from being a prisoner to a palace maid, and then to Shang Yi."
Xiang Sui said: "No matter what she is, she is just a slave."
Concubine Fu smiled, looked at her and said, "Although some people are slaves, they are more valuable than some masters!"
Xiang Sui hurriedly said: "Master still sees clearly."
Concubine Fu shook her veil and said with a smile: "I don't know anything about it, but the matter is here. It's just that I still remember my aunt's high hopes, and I will never shoot myself in the foot like some people do." "
Xiangsui echoed: "My master is wise."
Concubine Fu smiled silently and continued to eat with her tea cup.
Pei Zhaoyi was teasing the eldest son of the emperor when someone reported it. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Let Concubine Qing have a taste of it now, huh! She has her own day too!" After feeling proud for a while, she continued to tease the eldest son of the emperor.
Xia Zhaoyi was doing nothing, and Fang Jieyu hurriedly walked in. After bowing, she said, "Sister Zhaoyi, have you heard about it?"
"What?"
"Oh, you don't know yet?" Fang Jieyu didn't say anything, she just drank the bowl of tea on the table. The maid next to her was about to remind her, but Xia Zhaoyi winked and stopped. said
"What new thing did my sister know?"
"Sister, you really don't know? Don't you and Concubine Qing get along very well?" Fang Jieyu asked deliberately
Xia Zhaoyi shook her head and asked, "Did something happen to Concubine Qing?"
Fang Jieyu smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the emperor took away the power of co-managing the harem. I think your good days are approaching, sister, and the emperor will definitely let you help co-manage the harem."
Xia Zhaoyi didn't say anything after hearing this. She was lost in thought for a while. When she looked at Fang Jieyu again, she noticed that she had already left, so she ignored her and continued to talk.
The palace maid next to her, Peiyu, hesitated and asked: "Your Majesty has always been on good terms with Concubine Qing, but now do you need to plead with the Emperor? Otherwise, if Concubine Qing knows that Concubine Qing doesn't care about you..."
Xia Zhaoyi shook her head and said: "This matter must involve Shen Huan, otherwise the emperor will not be so angry. But if Shen Huan is involved, unless she goes to the emperor and someone else does it, she will not get into trouble."
Peiyu was stunned for a moment, thinking that her master knew the emperor somewhat, so what she said made sense.
