Lamei helped Liu Chugrong up from the ground. Liu Chu Rong held his forehead with his hands and acted like a weak willow tree, which was very different from her usual arrogant and despotic attitude. Seeing her expression, Shen Qing Wan knew that Liu Chu Rong was going to be a monster again.

Shen Qingwan no longer tried to defend herself. The only people who saw what had happened were Liu Chugrong and her, as well as the palace maid beside them, Liu Chugrong tried to frame her, but no matter what she said, it would be useless. She lowered her eyes and apologized: "The fault for offending the imperial concubine is my concubine."

"Chenqie did not do anything to offend Imperial Consort." Shen Qingwan's tone was light, neither servile nor overbearing.

Shen Qing Wan raised her hand to stop Lai Fu's movements, and said coldly: "Imperial Concubine, the face of us sisters are here to serve the Emperor.

Just as Liu Chugrong wanted to make a move, a dignified voice interrupted her.

"What, what's going on now?" Following the voice, Xiao Shushen walked out from the corner, dressed in a beautiful and graceful dress.

The two of them saluted together. After they were called out, Liu Chugrong said angrily: "Elder sister, just now, this concubine was admiring a flower, and coincidentally met Consort Xian. Originally, I wanted to forget all my grudges with her, but Consort Xian pushed me down.

No one would ever believe that, how could Consort Xian offend Liu Chu Rong?

Xiao Shushen narrowed her phoenix eyes and looked at Shen Qingwan, "Consort Xian is really as your imperial concubine has said?"

"Chenqie didn't push down elder sister." Shen Qingwan's expression was calm, not the slightest bit flustered.

Seeing that, Xiao Shushen had an idea of what was going on. She glanced at Liu Chu Rong again, and asked: "How does Imperial Concubine plan to discipline Consort Xian?"

Liu Chu Rong's eyes lit up, Xiao Shushen did not plan to protect Consort Xian anymore, and thought that the two of them had a common enemy, but who knew that it was just a superficial skill.

A trace of complacency flashed in her eyes as she said pitifully, "Chenqie didn't plan on punishing her, but to make her cautious with her words, chenqie wanted to slap twenty times for her memory."

Twenty might not sound like a lot, but if he were to slap his face, his cheeks would definitely be swollen and he would need at least half a month to recover.

Shen Qingwan had just been doted on by the Emperor, and it was time for her to be pampered.

Xiao Shushen thought for a hundred times, but on the surface she did not show it: "Consort Xian bumping into an imperial concubine is a mistake, the punishment for slapping her is too heavy, why not let her kneel for four hours and think it through."

Shen Qing Wan's expression turned cold, she did not expect Xiao Shushen to punish her.

Since Xiao Shushen had said so, Liu Chu Rong had no other choice in his heart. Fortunately, the sun was rising high up in the sky, so kneeling for four hours in such an open area like the Imperial Garden was enough for Shen Qing Wan to feel better.

"Then as the empress said, let's do it this way." Liu Chu Rong looked at Shen Qing Wan with a smile.

At this point, Shen Qingwan understood that she couldn't avoid this mysterious punishment.

"Thank you, empress, Imperial Concubine will forgive us," Shen Qing Wan had no choice but to express her gratitude and knelt down. Seeing that, Lian Yun also knelt down.

Liu Chu Rong laughed and didn't look at her anymore, flattering Xiao Shushen, "The imperial garden flowers are so beautiful, why don't the Empress and her concubine go to the pavilion in front of us to eat some tea and admire the flowers?"

The pavilion wasn't too far away from Shen Qingwan. Liu Chugrong and the Queen could see her, but they couldn't hear her voice.

Only then did Lian Yun ask in a low voice, "Empress, why didn't the Empress help us this time?"

"In the end, she helped me for a profit," Shen Qing Wan chuckled. "Furthermore, the Emperor has been coming to my place all this time. It's hard for the empress to not have grudges against me, so she just took this opportunity to ring the alarm bell for me."

After Lian Yun heard this, she did not speak anymore.

He came to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers in order to relieve his boredom and met Shen Qingwan on the way here. Now that he was bored, he said to Lamei, "That Pitiful Dance from a few days ago was not bad, send someone to find her and let her have a look for the Empress to see and make her happy."

La Mei replied and called for a palace maid to do it. Seeing that, Xiao Shushen asked: "Does Imperial Concubine think of the pitying people she talks about, that group of people that entered the palace not long ago?"

"That's right," Liu Chu Rong didn't say anything, but La Mei answered for him. "The Empress has always liked liveliness, so she can't help but have people come over to sing and dance and look at someone she likes. She's been staying in the palace for the past few days to enjoy it."

"Chenqie likes it so much that it's just right that she's cheering up now." After taking a sip of tea, a smile appeared on his face and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Imperial Concubine knows how to enjoy himself. He has come out to visit the garden and there is no shortage of refreshments, he has even prepared a song and dance," Xiao Shushen took the tea from La Mei, lifting the tea cover and sniffing it, but did not drink any, "Is it because of this year's new supply of pre-rain dragon well?"

Liu Chugrong nodded. "The emperor rewarded chenqie not long ago, and chenqie hasn't finished drinking it either. After all, there aren't many people who offer it up to the emperor every year."

"The emperor dotes on you. Just take it. Why be so reserved?" She was obviously showing off, but the empress remained indifferent, not affected in the slightest.

Liu Chugrong only cast her a glance, without any expression, he said lightly, "Stand up."

"Thank you, empress." That pitiful guy stood up, and under Liu Chugrong's instructions, quickly sang while jumping up.

To be able to attract Liu Chugrong's attention, she was definitely not an ordinary person. Her lovable dance was extremely beautiful, and her singing voice was also like the beginning of an oriole, melodious and melodious. Even though Liu Chu Rong was appreciating it, Xiao Shushen's eyes were filled with a layer of malice.

As the master of the Sixth Palace, Xiao Shushen had seen many beauties and knew what the emperor liked. This pity was undoubtedly close to Fu Yuheng's appetite.

As for the matters of this world, whether or not one had thought about them properly, one could do as they pleased.

Lianren was still singing and dancing when a bright yellow figure appeared from not too far away.
