"Esteemed Empress."
Xiao Shushen looked at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, and touched the jade bracelet on his hand. Due to Shen Qingwan's previous incident, she became much more furious, she only looked at her, and did not ask her to get up, "What is it?
"Reporting to the Empress, this servant received news that Ninth Prince had hastily gone to Hu Youshan."
Xiao Shushen muttered to herself, this news had also raised her interest. She looked at the palace maid, her eyes shining with brilliance.
"Fu Huaiyu went to Hu Youshan. Do you know why Ninth Prince went to Hu Youshan?"
"Your servant is useless. I am temporarily unable to find out. May the Empress punish me."
Xiao Shushen sighed in disappointment, she went back to her seat and kept her excitement from before, "Got it, continue to keep an eye on Ninth Prince, if there is any news, report it at any time.
Xiao Shushen sank into deep thought. Not long later, she seemed to have thought of something as the corner of her mouth hooked into a cold smile and her gaze also revealed a dangerous aura.
Fu Yuheng knew that he had snubbed the Consort De and spent the night at the Consort De's place because of him. The night was filled with soft words, but the words were also gentle and tender, warming the Consort De but also causing everyone else in the imperial harem to be unable to sleep at night.
The next day, Zhao Yuanrong woke up early to help Fu Yuheng dress and eat. After watching him leave the palace, he sat blankly at the table and looked at the door with a silly smile.
The news spread extremely fast in the imperial harem. The moment Fu Yuheng stepped out of Consort De's courtyard, Liu Jiaorong slowly walked over with his delicate waist and a kind smile on his face.
"Oh, this Big Sister Consort De's complexion is much better than before. After all, it's just a night of indulgence, which caused Big Sister Consort De to be radiant. She looks so bashful, even little sister cannot help but like it."
Zhao Yuanrong looked at Liu Chugrong who came uninvited. His previous shyness had disappeared from his heart, and his face showed indifference and politeness, leaving behind only estrangement.
"I wonder what business does Honorable Liu have with me today?"
Liu Chu Rong saw that Zhao Yuanrong's face was filled with an unwelcome attitude, but the smile on his face became even more dazzling, and completely ignored Consort De's words, he still sat down.
"Why do you say that, Big Sister Consort De? The entire imperial harem knows that the Big Sister Consort De has received a favor from you now. Your sister is here to congratulate you!"
Although she was just a small rich person, she still had her mother's family at her back. After all, it was not good for him to lose decorum with her, and he had to pretend that he knew what was going on behind her back, even if it was just on the surface.
"Big Sister Consort De, could it be that this is how you treat your guests? After all, Chu Rong is your guest, you wouldn't even be willing to take a sip of tea!"
The Consort De did not pursue the matter with Liu Chu Rong, but Liu Chu Rong was the first one to shout, his voice was unconcealable and arrogant, one word at a time, with an ear-piercing tone.
"Little sister is joking, but I'm in the wrong. I've been here for a long time, but I haven't been able to get you any tea." Seeing that she had suppressed the anger in her heart, she thought it was a lie for Liu Xiurong to congratulate her. She smiled and looked at the maidservants below. With just a glance, someone went out to pour a pot of tea for Liu Chugrong.
Looking at the tea flowing out, Liu Chugrong didn't say anything. On the contrary, a little girl's scream came in from outside.
"Mufei, mufei, has royal father left?" Fu Lingling threw herself into Consort De's embrace like a happy little bird, her eyes looking everywhere, looking for Fu Yuheng's figure in all four directions.
Zhao Yuanrong hugged Fu Lingling, and helped her tidy up the hair at her head. He also took out a handkerchief to wipe away the sweat on her forehead, that was caused by her movements.
Seeing such a warm scene, Liu Chugrong bit his lips and clenched his fists. An idea popped up in his mind.
"Big Sister Consort De, this must be the Third Princess, right? It's so beautiful, no wonder the emperor likes it so much." Liu Chu Rong stood up and walked in front of Fu Lingling, taking the opportunity while the two were in a daze to hold onto Fu Lingling, his slender fingers caressing Fu Lingling's face.
"Elder sister, oh elder sister, you are really fortunate to have such a lovely princess. This Third Princess is so cute and tender, your little sister also really likes her very much. I presume the Emperor really dotes on her as well." With the Third Princess, the Emperor would often come to visit his elder sister, even if he was worried about Princess Jasmine. "
Fu Lingling felt unwell. She wanted to struggle free from Liu Chugrong's grasp, but she was grabbed even harder. No matter what, she couldn't escape.
"Mufei, mufei, save me …" Zhao Yuanrong saw that Liu Chu Rong was extremely anxious, but she didn't think that she would catch Ling Ling by accident. She was afraid that Liu Yu Rong would do something too extreme, so she just kept on staring at her, not daring to even blink.
"What is Big Sister Consort De doing? The little sister only liked Third Princess because she was cute, so she couldn't help but remind the older sister. Although the Third Princess was cute, but how could she be like the Second Princess? "Hahaha …" Looking at Consort De, the smile on Liu Chu Rong's face became more and more terrifying. His voice was soft and gentle, but it was filled with ruthlessness.
Fu Lingling started to cry loudly in fear, she tried her best to struggle free, but her beautiful face was covered in tears, looking extremely pitiful.
Zhao Yuanrong understood in his heart that Liu Xiugrong was pretending to praise Ling Ling, but he was actually saying that he was relying on Ling Ling to win her favor, and then she would use Ling Ling to threaten him.
Looking at Fu Lingling who was crying so miserably, her heart felt like it was being gouged out. She couldn't take it anymore, so she pushed Liu Xiurong away and nervously hugged Fu Lingling, wiping away the tears on her face with her heart, then turned around. She couldn't hold back the anger in her eyes anymore.
"Sister is right." "Since Ling Ling is the daughter of the Emperor, he will definitely protect her, so I will not trouble little sister to take care of him. Since little sister has also come to congratulate you, if there's nothing else, you can go back. Ling Ling is also tired, so I will not stay any longer."
After all, the Consort De had been in the palace for so many years, and had risen to the position of concubine. She was not someone to be trifled with, and so with a few words, she sent out the order to leave.
Liu Chu Rong looked at Consort De and was extremely angry. This Consort De actually threw him out, Liu Chu Rong snorted coldly and flew out with a flick of his sleeve, his face extremely ugly.
