Chapter 269 Everyone gets what they need and offers clever tricks
Li Fei’s house always smells strange.
This is the first time Xue Hengzhao has come here since she returned to the throne.
There was only one maid in the room, Yinye, and the rest had been sent out long ago.
Li Fei's evening makeup was even more charming and graceful. The weather was getting hot, so she only wore a floral gauze robe, with a moon-white tube top looming underneath.
Seeing Xue Heng's photo, Li Fei raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a very pleasant tone: "Little beauty, why are you here?"
Xue Hengzhao bowed and said: "This slave must first apologize to the empress."
"Please forgive me, why?" Li Fei was surprised.
"Just now we beat Miss Cuiqiao." Xue Hengzhao said straightforwardly.
"Why did you beat her?" Li Fei said, taking a closer look at Cuiqiao and found that there were indeed finger marks on her face.
"Your Majesty, this Xue Hengzhao is bullying others!" Cui Qiao didn't expect that Xue Hengzhao would accuse her in front of Concubine Li. Of course she couldn't swallow her anger, "My slave, it's just that I came a little late, or because she was serving your Majesty, she didn't want to
Come on, tease me with some words.
The slave was angry for a moment and said a few unpleasant words, and they beat me."
Cuiqiao started crying when she said this: "As the saying goes, it depends on the master to beat a dog! I have served the queen for so many years, and I have made all kinds of mistakes, big and small, and I have never seen the queen give me a finger. They are considered
What kind of manager is running wild in our palace?"
"Obviously you were the one who said something rude when we met, but..." Chi Su was so angry that she immediately retorted.
Xue Hengzhao stopped her gently: "Empress Li, I just want to ask if you want to see me?"
"Of course I want to see you. Didn't we agree before?" Li Fei said, "As for the quarrel between you two, that is a trivial matter. I asked her to apologize to you."
"Of course your Majesty can tell the difference between the important and the important. We can't come all the way just to quarrel with Miss Cuiqiao." Xue Hengzhao was neither humble nor overbearing, "It's just that no matter how hospitable the host is, he will be troubled by the vicious dog guarding the door.
. We don’t want to do such a tasteless thing, so we have to make it clear to the empress in this life to avoid suspicion in the future.”
"Cuiqiao, you girl, I usually spoil you. You don't know that Miss Xue came to me to discuss business. When will it be your turn to scream in front of others?" Li
The concubine lowered her face and lectured her people in front of Xue Hengzhao and Chi Su, "Can you afford to delay important things? You are such a confused fool! You must have drunk too much lard.
, all the seven orifices are blocked!"
Cuiqiao had served Concubine Li for many years. Knowing that her concubine was really angry when she looked like this, she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "I was confused for a moment, and I will never dare to do it again."
"Miss Xue, don't worry, I can still control the people under my command. She only dares to commit this crime once in her life. If she does it a second time, I will definitely peel off her skin and use it as a footpad for you." Concubine Li.
She never dared to look down on Xue Hengzhao, because she knew that there would be many areas where Xue Hengzhao’s guidance would be needed in the future.
When Cuiqiao heard this, she was even more frightened and fell to the ground, not even daring to cry loudly.
Seeing this situation, Xue Hengzhao stopped bothering her. She didn't insist on doing anything to Cuiqiao, but she was afraid that this little maid might cause trouble in the future because of her narrow-mindedness.
Li Fei is an important chess piece, which determines the outcome of the entire chess game.
"Empress Li Fei, I believe that Miss Cuiqiao must have sincerely repented and will not do it again in the future." Xue Hengzhao said, "You don't need to make a big move. Let this matter be over."
"Miss Xue is the most tolerant and knowledgeable. If there was someone like you in my palace, I would have been able to rest easy." Li Fei actually spoke the truth. She often regretted in her heart, why she was not as good as Fu.
Why is the concubine so lucky?
"The Empress is so complimentary, let's get down to business." Xue Hengzhao said, "You must have heard the rumors in the palace. It is estimated that the Empress will attack Furong Palace in a few days."
"The queen has a bachelor's temperament that doesn't rub her eyes. I think you are a good candidate," Li Fei looked at Xue Hengzhao with undisguised admiration, "Then what on earth do you want to do when you come to me?" "The queen's power is too great. No matter who we are, we can't fight alone. It's best to work together to blunt her edge." Xue Hengzhao said, "Does the empress think so too?"
"I understand what you mean. Now we might as well join forces and get what we each need." Li Fei smiled, "As for the future, we have to rely on our own abilities."
"Your Majesty, I understand," Xue Hengzhao nodded, "Then I'd like you to explain the recent rumors to the Emperor as soon as possible."
"What?!" Concubine Li frowned, "Are you afraid that the trouble won't be big enough? I'm afraid you don't understand His Majesty's temperament. The emperor and grandson are so popular outside that they are destined by fate and stars. The emperor is very
Taboo.
I really want His Majesty to know about it, I'm afraid the Emperor will take action on you before the Queen finds you."
Seeing Xue Hengzhao's calm expression, seemingly indifferent, Li Fei couldn't help laughing at herself: "It's me who worries too much, why am I telling you this!"
"What your Majesty said makes sense, but the only way to defeat the Queen is from the Emperor." Of course, Xue Hengzhao had to give a brief explanation, "When your Majesty speaks to your Majesty, you must be as exaggerated as possible and as false as possible.
."
"This...why is this?" Li Fei was puzzled.
"If someone says that A is rich and has two boxes of gold and silver at home. Even if A doesn't have it, some people will believe it if it is spread a lot.
If someone says that A has two houses of gold and silver, people who are close to him will probably believe it with suspicion, but people who don't know him may still believe it.
But if someone says that there are two golden mountains, one as big as Mount Tai and the other as high as Kunshan, then no one can believe it anymore." Xue Heng explained with an example, "Does the empress understand this truth?"<
/p>
"Giggle..." Li Fei couldn't help laughing, her soft and boneless hands half covering the mouth of the cherry, "You are such a ghost! Thank you for coming up with this idea!
Exaggerating malicious rumors into a joke is a big deal! Wonderful!"
Cui Qiao on the side glanced at Xue Hengzhao secretly, feeling cold in her heart.
This Xue Hengzhao has a ghostly palace. Why did I get confused before and insist on making things difficult for her?!
I'm really afraid that her casual words will kill her in the future.
"Your Majesty, you are smart and you can understand everything." Xue Hengzhao smiled, "You are the most favored by the Emperor now. If the Queen is discouraged, your favor will only be stronger."
"I know who spread this rumor, but I can't break up with her on the face of it," Li Fei said. "If she finds out that I ruined her good fortune by talking too much, won't I be at a disadvantage?"
"The empress can definitely keep this matter secret," Xue Hengzhao said. "Even if there is an emergency, you can still say that you are helping her. After all, the empress is the biggest enemy."
