"That woman saved the emperor, so how can the emperor blame her?"

Imperial Concubine purposely pretended that she didn't care.

Lian Ruo shook her head. "Empress, after that woman saved His Majesty, not only did she not apologize, she even wanted His Majesty to compensate her clothes. I heard from little Wanzi that because of this, His Majesty paid King Mo a lot of money."

The imperial concubine was surprised. "Isn't it supposed to be compensating that woman?"

Lian Ruo laughed, "That woman is just a servant in the Prince Mo’s Manor. I heard that she is doted on by King Mo, and her clothes are so exquisite that even the empress of the imperial harem might not be able to match her clothes. Although she is doted on by King Mo, she doesn't know it, and only knows that her clothes are expensive.

Du Jinse, Du Jinse, who exactly are you?

You actually attracted the attention of the people of the royal family, causing them to become infatuated with you?

"You just said that the new beauty is a double, what kind of story is that?"

The Imperial Concubine asked without batting an eyelid.

"Since that woman's clothes were torn apart, she naturally could not be worn anymore, so she was gifted to the beauty. When did the beauty ever see such a good thing on a normal day? She changed it a little and put it on on for King Mo's coronation. It just so happened that the emperor saw it and brought her into the palace."

Lian Ruo explained.

The consort nodded.

"Don't bring up these words again in the future, in case it brings about a fatal disaster."

Lian Ruo agreed to leave.

The Imperial Concubine couldn't help but walk over to the bronze mirror and lift off the cloth. She then looked at herself in the mirror.

The emperor might not necessarily have set his eyes on Du Jinse, but the fact of bringing back a beauty was an indisputable fact.

Imperial Concubine touched her face in the bronze mirror. She had also been young before, but the emperor had never lacked beauties by her side.

When the Queen and Consort De were mentioned today, the Imperial Consort's heart surged.

Actually, it wasn't just the two of them. She had watched too many matters of life and death in this palace for over twenty years.

There were those who had been demoted, those who had been framed, those who had been courting death, and those who had fallen from the sky for no reason.

Too much.

There were so many that she never dared to look back.

She was once a naive girl who had been in the harem for a long time, and her hands were stained with the blood of others.

Prince Rong must not be allowed to become a storage monarch.

The imperial concubine slammed down the bronze mirror.

Losing Du Jinse was a huge loss to their side, but, even though the Prince Qing had always been obedient to her on other things, he had never followed her advice on this matter.

Imperial Concubine raised her hand to support her head. If Prince Qing was a emotional person with a beloved woman, she wouldn't have anything to say. But obviously … There was clearly nothing here, so why couldn't he see the situation clearly?

She was wrong. She had always been telling the Prince Qing in front of the emperor that she must listen to the emperor and be filial to his royal father. She was saying these words for the emperor to hear.

He did listen.

Even though the royal father was his own personal royal father, and at the same time, someone else's royal father, she was the only mufei.

There was no point in saying anything now.

Although Du Jinse was still alive, she hated Prince Qing to the bones.

Although the Prime Minister Du did not say that he would support the Prince Qing, as long as Du Jinse was the Princess Qing for one day, then even if he did not say that, his disciples would still be the ones standing at the bottom of the heart of the Prince Qing.

The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.

The new beauty was from Prince Mo’s Manor, he wondered if they had any connections.

The Imperial Consort felt that it was time to meet this beauty.

Ever since the empress had passed away, the palace had been suspended in the air. The imperial concubine had replaced the phoenix imprint, so as long as she wanted to see it, it was much more convenient than others.

That morning, the Imperial Consort went to the hall where the other imperial concubines would pay their respects. There, she saw a unfamiliar woman. It seemed that her meaning had already reached the ears of the beauties.

The Imperial Concubine didn't even glance at him. After she sat down, she accepted the greetings from the crowd and extended her hand to support them. "Sisters, please rise."

After everyone took their seats, the imperial concubine looked at Xiao Xiao who was seated at the very end.

"This little sister looks really unfamiliar."

Xiao Xiao stood up with some difficulty, walked forward a few steps and was about to kneel.

The palace maid who was serving her coughed lightly. Xiao Xiao looked at the palace maid and then stood still.

The palace maid hurriedly kneeled down. "To reply esteemed Empress, this is the Emperor's new Little Beauty."

"Little Beauty?" The Imperial Consort couldn't stand it.

"When this servant was at Prince Mo’s Manor, I was called Xiao Xiao. The Emperor said that I did indeed look small, so he called me Little Beauty."

Everyone covered their mouths as they chuckled.

Little Beauty, there are many ways to make fun of her. It looks like the Emperor doesn't really love her. Another shadow flashed in Imperial Concubine's heart.

"I heard that you were chosen by the Emperor because you were wearing someone else's clothes." Feng Zhaoyi said with a smile.

Everyone was intelligent, upon seeing the noble concubine's attitude towards Xiao Xiao, they would immediately know that she was being teased.

When the other concubines heard this, they smiled and waited for Xiao Xiao to make a joke.

Xiao Xiao knew that all the imperial concubines looked down on her because she was a servant, unlike them, who had a noble identity.

"This sister is right. I have a lot of sisters in my family, so it's not uncommon for elder sister to wear smaller for second sister." Xiao Xiao said calmly.

When everyone heard how she admitted it so bluntly, they didn't say anything. They just looked at each other and saw the disdain in each other's eyes.

After a long while, a beauty whispered, "I heard that Your Majesty took a liking to the original owner of the clothes."

Imperial Concubine smiled as she listened to the gossip around her. When the beauty finished speaking, she put down the teacup in her hand.

When the imperial concubines saw this, they fell silent.

When Xiao Xiao heard this, she became even angrier, staring at the lady who spoke, "Big Sister Mo Mo's respect for the Emperor towards the Emperor towards the Emperor is one of his elders, don't spout nonsense."

Before Xiao Xiao came, that woman was the most doted on by the emperor. In these few days, the emperor didn't go to her place, so she had long since felt uncomfortable with Xiao Xiao.

"How do you know? You're not her."

Xiao Xiao was so angry that her chest started to rise and fall, "Sister Mo Mo!"

The palace maid that was serving her coughed a few times. Xiao Xiao looked at her and bit her lips, not saying anything.

That beauty didn't want to let her go just like that. She pressed on, "Why don't you say it again, Big Sister Mo Mo, you're now a woman of the Emperor. How can you call yourself a lowly big sister with that status?"

Xiao Xiao was so angry that her eyes were wide open, "I feel that big sister Mo Mo is much better than this big sister."

She did not know how to speak any big words, so when she heard what Xiao Xiao just said, she could not help but laugh. The girl's face was pale, she did not expect that Xiao Xiao would call her shameful.

"You're vulgar."

After a long while, the woman finally spoke.

Xiao Xiao had always thought that Du Jinse was her lucky star so she naturally didn't want to be belittled by others. She straightened her neck and said, "I actually thought that Big Sister was a hypocrite.
