Liu Chugrong had been favored by the emperor recently. Fu Yuheng would go to him whenever he had the time. All the concubines in the imperial harem were jealous and envious of him, but they could do nothing to him.
Liu Chugrong was originally the daughter of the Prime Minister Liu and her family was prominent. Now that the General Shen in the imperial court that was originally able to contend with the Prime Minister Liu had lost because of the war at the borders, he was slightly pushed down by the Prime Minister Liu. At this moment, the Emperor was still very fond of her, so no one in the imperial palace felt that anything was wrong with her.
Liu Chugrong was not someone who knew how to restrain himself. Relying on the favor of the emperor, he acted more and more arrogantly in the imperial harem, not putting others in his eyes.
Usually, bullying of the palace maids and being rude to the other concubines was a common occurrence. Although the others didn't dare to say it on the surface, they all held a grudge against Liu Chugrong in their hearts.
Liu Chu Rong didn't feel anything. He just continued doing his own thing every day.
Today, Liu Chu Rong had nothing to do, so he decided to take a walk in the palace's garden with his maidservants.
Arriving at the garden, he discovered that the Queen was there with her maidservants. The maidservants were watering the flowers in front of them while the Queen was leisurely admiring the various flowers with a carefree expression.
Although she was the Queen, the arrogance on Liu Chugrong didn't decrease in the slightest.
With the support of the maidservants, Liu Chu Rong held his head high and looked towards the sky. He walked step by step in an extremely deliberate and exaggerated manner and soon arrived in front of the Queen.
Liu Chugrong didn't seem to see the queen beside him. He started to walk towards her. Unexpectedly, he bumped into a palace maid watering a flower.
Caught off guard by the collision, the palace maid let out a scream as the object in her hand instantly fell off her hand and fell to the ground.
The water splashed everywhere and hit Liu Xiugrong and that palace maid. Both of their clothes were instantly soaked.
"Ah, what are you doing!" Before the palace maid could react, Liu Chugrong, who had been so arrogant a moment ago, suddenly shouted. Looking at his wet clothes, he completely ignored the image of his imperial concubine.
The empress's maidservant hurriedly apologized, "Your Highness, I am sorry. Your servant was blind. Please forgive me!"
It wasn't her fault, but in this palace, even if she was the empress dowager's maid, she was just a lowly maid with a lowly status. Liu Chugrong was the empress, so there was no way she could compete with him. Thus, at this moment, she could only choose to lower her head.
"Your dog eyes have been blinded!" Can't you see that I have to pass through here? " Liu Chugrong didn't give up. Her chest rose and fell, and she was obviously angry. She didn't appreciate the servant girl's apology at all.
"Imperial Concubine, please calm your anger. It's all my fault for being careless!"
"Humph!" How can you be like this in the future? I'll give you two slaps this time as a reminder! " Liu Chu Rong glared at the servant with an angry face.
The empress who had been watching from the side suddenly spoke up. "Elder sister, isn't this a bit too much?"
She had clearly seen what had happened just now. Liu Xiurong's arrogant attitude deserved to be splashed with water.
"Too much. How is that too much?" Because of his anger, Liu Chugrong's chest kept rising and falling. He continued, "Besides, as a servant, you should act like one!"
"Little sister, how about we spare her this time on account of big sister?" The empress's slender fingers gripped the green handkerchief tightly as she took a step forward and continued to plead.
At this time, Liu Chugrong's position in the harem was so low that few people could compare to him. How could her current arrogance be quelled?
From the imperial garden not far away came waves of a fragrant smell. Beneath the Four Corner Pavilion, Fu Huaiyu was holding a chess piece with extreme interest, and landed calmly.
If the so-called wise Emperor saw this scene, how would he end it?
The king of a country should stand with Liu Chugrong, who did not differentiate good from evil, or should he punish this matter fairly and harshly. A pair of peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, looking at Fu Yuheng who was walking in the distance, he mocked him with a smile.
At this moment, they saw Liu Chuhong walking around the empress. Her face changed again and again.
As the saying goes, once the imperial court favored her, they would look down on the imperial concubine of the imperial harem.
From far away, Xiao Shushen had actually witnessed it on this day.
The empress was wearing a windbreaker, but her aura had not diminished even up to this point.
She walked lightly, then suddenly turned around and stood straight against the wind. At the moment, Liu Xiugrong took the opportunity to slap the palace maid coldly.
The palace maid didn't know what Liu Chu Rong's next move would be, now that he looked again, his face turned red from the beating.
A crisp slapping sound could be heard as the empress tried to think of a countermeasure. Who would have thought that Liu Chugrong would dare to hit his own people in front of the queen of the world?
If word of this got out, wouldn't it embarrass the empress? Even the royal family lost all their face?
The thought of the disgrace of the royal family made those words unmistakable. The empress suddenly thought of a way to advance and retreat.
The empress was actually able to endure this anger that none of the empress dowager could swallow as she approached step by step. Who would have thought that Liu Chugrong would jump up with his eyes wide open and his waist tucked in, as if he didn't want to bow to anyone.
"What, the empress wants to seek justice for this little palace maid?" Liu Chugrong said coldly.
"But after the Emperor heard this, I don't know which side to stand on. Elder Sister must think this through clearly."
Liu Chugrong was so arrogant and despotic. With the love of the Emperor, he was afraid the Emperor would be annoyed with her sooner or later.
Thinking about it, the Qi that Xiao Shushen had been receiving for the past few days, vanished like smoke in thin air. She gently stroked her finger as the jade on her wrist let out a moving glow.
Thinking about the result of Liu Chugrong, would it be the same?
"Little sister, the lesson just now was right." Only after a long while did Xiao Shushen finally speak gently.
"That palace maid has just made my sister unhappy, and now she is being dealt with by my sister." The Queen clenched her teeth and said.
After hearing this, the palace maid seemed to be able to see the reason behind it. He also quickly fell to the ground and begged for mercy, "Empress, this is all your servant's fault. Your servant will do as you say."
She actually showed weakness to the empress, who was so high up in the sky. Liu Chugrong walked proudly to the palace maid, and suddenly gave her another slap. It was crisp and vicious.
Not far away, after witnessing this scene, Xiao Shushen almost tore the handkerchief in her hands to shreds, but her expression did not change her joy or anger.
Unexpectedly, Liu Chugrong said, "Sister, for your sake, she won't give the punishment prison to you."
"Big sister thanks you for your great kindness." Xiao Shushen said without changing his expression.
Then, Liu Chugrong raised his leg, twisted his slim waist and swaggered away.
At this point, the Queen exhaled, and a strange smile appeared on her face. The trench coat on her body was still sparkling, and she exuded an oppressing aura. Just now, she was merely making a move to retreat.
He believed that Liu Chugrong would soon be rejected by even more people.
