Chapter four hundred and fiftieth IX advance and retreat
In the entire palace, no one knew that Concubine Xue was favored. The harem was the most realistic place. Everyone had their own ability to make their own decisions. Survival was an eternal topic in the harem, both for the concubines and the palace people.
Concubine Xue is an anomaly in the harem. Ever since she entered the palace, she has been promoted to the rank of concubine. Logically speaking, given her age and the years she has spent in the palace, she should be very aware of the rules of the harem.
Greet people with a smile, but make secret calculations. This is the basic rule.
But she is not. She is always like a proud peacock. Anyone who offends her will be punished openly. There is a saying that hypocrites are not as good as true villains. Concubine Xue is such a true villain. She is arrogant and domineering.
She has a flamboyant personality, but people can't find any shortcomings. Even if she kills the palace people with a stick, she is confident. Human life is nothing more than an ant in her eyes, and it doesn't attract her attention at all.
There are two types of people in the harem that are the most difficult to deal with. One is a flamboyant person like Concubine Xue. Every move she makes is high-profile. If anyone tries to do anything to her, others may find out before she even notices.
, when the time comes, no one will benefit from borrowing strength.
The other type is silent, planning secretly, and making every move. This kind of person is also quite troublesome. Once her bottom line is touched, the counterattack will be shocking.
As soon as Lian Wan'er entered the palace, the first thing she knew was not the queen, but Concubine Xue. The nanny in charge of her had reminded her earlier that anyone could offend anyone, but she must not offend Concubine Xue, otherwise she would die.
I don’t know, so even if she is attached to the queen, she will not do anything to offend Concubine Xue.
But this time it was different. The emperor made it clear that he wanted to use her as a spearman, so she naturally couldn't refuse. The queen had told her earlier, "This big feather belongs to the emperor. Although the harem is controlled by the queen, in the final analysis
It was still the emperor's. At that time, Lian Wan'er suddenly understood why the emperor always valued the queen. This wise woman was thoughtful and not as indifferent as she seemed on the surface.
"Holy Concubine, Holy Concubine." The palace is very strict about rules. If a concubine intends to cause trouble, breaking the rules is the best way to silence the concubine.
"I heard that the emperor summoned Sister Wan, it turned out to be true." Seeing Lian Wan'er appear here, Concubine Xue was furious, but she just sneered with disdain on her face, as if she didn't take her seriously at all.
.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Concubine Xue doesn't even look down on the queen, let alone the little Rong Hua.
But things are different now. The Emperor's decision to let Lian Wan'er enter the Qianling Palace is a signal that this little Ronghua will most likely become a threat to her in the future, and Concubine Xue has never allowed people who threaten her to exist.
"The Emperor is still resting. If the Imperial Concubine wants to see the Emperor, she may have to wait a little longer." Lian Wan'er smiled slightly and lowered her head, looking somewhat respectful.
However, her measured advance and retreat made Concubine Xue even more unhappy.
To win the favor of the emperor, and to show such false respect, this is not a provocation. Concubine Xue narrowed her eyes suddenly, and glanced at Lian Wan'er coldly, with disdain flashing in her eyes. She is just a merchant's daughter.
Even though she was somewhat related to the capital, she was completely incomparable to her, a noble daughter of the Xue family. I didn't expect that she would be so bold and dare to challenge her.
"If I want to see the emperor, do I still need your approval? Who are you to dare to stop me?" Concubine Xue was pampered. No matter whether it was in the Xue family or later in the palace, who would dare to
Who dares to stop her from doing anything if she is so presumptuous in front of her? How dare Rong Hua act so lawlessly just because of the emperor's favor?
She smiled coldly. The little nobleman who thought he was favored was also tricked by her into hanging himself from a cliff. Later, the emperor didn't say a word and gave the queen the full power to investigate. In the end, the incident was nothing.
That’s it.
"Your Majesty, I have misunderstood. I dare not stop your Majesty, but the Emperor is indeed resting. He has been busy with official duties these days. Eunuch Lu said that the Emperor was reviewing the memorials until midnight yesterday, and he finally rested for a while..." Hello, Lian Wan'er.
Explain in a good voice.
However, the more gentle she is, the angrier Xue Guifei becomes. What she despises the most is a hypocritical and pretentious concubine like Lian Wan'er. She is obviously full of evil, but she still pretends to be virtuous and virtuous. It is really disgusting.
"Presumptuous. I still need you to teach me how to do things?" Concubine Xue raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Since Wan Ronghua is so favored by the emperor, there must be something special about her. Why not go to my palace and teach me well?"
How should we do things?"
Hearing what she said, Lian Wan'er pursed her lips, immediately knelt on the ground, bowed her head and apologized: "I am atoneing for my sins. This is not what I meant. Please don't misunderstand what I mean."
"Huh, what do you mean, I don't know the difference between right and wrong, and don't even understand such a simple thing? Wan Ronghua, you are so presumptuous." Anyway, no matter what Lian Wan'er said, Concubine Xue always had something to say.
.
If you want to find fault, why would you care about what she said?
"I don't dare." Lian Wan'er bit her lip. She had always known that Concubine Xue was domineering, so she had been avoiding her influence since she entered the palace. Who would have thought that she would have to attack her today.
However, she is not a weak person even Wan'er. Since the emperor intends to use her to suppress Xue Guifei's momentum, then she cannot live up to the emperor's expectations. Otherwise, if she misses this good opportunity to show her face in front of the emperor, she may not be able to do it again.
No chance.
"The imperial concubine has a high and powerful position. No one in the harem knows her status in the emperor's heart. The status of the concubines is low, but I still want to advise the empress. It is better not to go too far in everything." Lian Wan'er spoke slowly and calmly, without any embarrassment at all.
More and more calm.
However, her attitude greatly angered Concubine Xue. A gust of wind flashed across Lian Wan'er's face, which was already red and swollen with blood stains. Naturally, it was scratched by Concubine Xue's sharp nails. Thin blood streaks were faintly visible.
Flow and shocking.
"Lian Wan'er, you didn't know where you were when I entered the palace. You actually want to show off your power in front of me. You are not qualified." Concubine Xue narrowed her eyes, but she heard clearly what Lian Wan'er just said.
Although you said the words politely and respectfully, the threats and showoffs between the lines are very clear. She, Xue, has been in the KM for many years, and no one has ever dared to say such things to her face.
At this moment, Lian Wan'er suddenly changed from her calm and indifferent look, and lowered her head in panic to admit her mistake: "Your Majesty, I was the one who made the mistake. I beg your Majesty to atone for my sins."
A bright yellow figure stepped in, and Concubine Xue's face was suffocated, and she glared fiercely at Lian Wan'er who was kneeling on the ground and admitting her mistake at random. He actually dared to play tricks in front of her. She was really arrogant.
