"Empress, Madame Song can't hold herself back. However, this servant looks like Miss Chu is much calmer than she is."
Xian Consort lazily laid on the bed, supporting herself with her hands as she said: "My older cousin hates it when people talk about her as their successor. Now that the Queen has hurt her so many times and I have said it, it would be strange for her to be so calm."
As if she thought of something, Xian Consort suddenly said: "She is the manager wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and looks down on me, who has entered the palace, as her concubine. Didn't she also want to become Chu Siyuan's concubine? If not for the fact that Lady Yun passed away due to childbirth, how would she be able to flaunt her might? "
Ting Yu had followed the Xian Consort from her parents' home and entered the palace. At that time, the Xian Consort was also not a Xian Consort either, but it was only a member of the Anping Marquis Palace, Song Ning Lan.
In the beginning, the master and his servant worked together to advance and retreat, but unexpectedly, when Song Ning Lan received her Holy Pet and was bestowed the title of Jie Yu, the servant girl Zi Yun that her mother brought was about to introduce herself.
Song Ning Lan immediately found a way to deal with Zi Yun, and found out that Zi Yun had actually been bribed by the Madame Song!
Song NingLan instantly understood that she was just a chess piece, and her gratitude towards Song Family immediately disappeared without a trace. She only maintained a faint trace of affection on the surface. After that, she finally became the Xian Consort and became the monarch. Her older cousin whom she had to please now had to curry favor with, and even get beaten up by her.
Xian Consort was abnormally satisfied in her heart. Ting Yu knew that her master was afraid of being scammed, that was why she acted this way, and immediately consoled: "It's just that I'm afraid that Madam Song might think too highly of Eldest Miss, and I'm afraid that I don't want to let go."
Seeing that Xian Consort's expression did not change, Ting Yu continued to speak: "Empress's probing today, I'm afraid that Madame Song is wary."
Xian Consort laughed coldly upon hearing that, "Am I not afraid of her? She, Song Xiangyun, wholeheartedly wants to have her daughter as an empress and she doesn't even put my Yu'er in her eyes.
"Besides, there's a reason why the Japanese palace attacked today. Could it be that you didn't hear the rumors in the palace, saying that the First Prince had fallen for the Chu Family's Second Miss?"
"Your servant has heard of it, but the First Prince … Today, this servant is also weird, why does the First Prince have a whole new level of respect for the Second Miss? However, seeing that the Second Miss Chu has a strategy to follow, and actually took care of the Princess Pingyang, I think that he has the skills to do so. "
Thinking about how Princess Pingyang was humiliated, Xian Consort couldn't help but laugh contemptuously, "It was that girl who was stupid enough to be taken advantage of by Chu Jinxiu, you still don't know. Moreover, the feast today was clearly to welcome the Madame Jinguo and wash her dust. The Madame Jinguo had a whole new level of respect for Chu Qinghuan, and now that foolish girl still went up, what else could she be other than bringing about her own humiliation? Did she really think she was the empress just because her Majesty trusted her? Isn't she just a lowly bastard? "
Ting Yu had long since gotten used to her master's temper. After all, this palace was filled with enemies, and no one was able to speak their mind, so the only thing the Xian Consort trusted was him.
"This servant is afraid that Princess Pingyang is not a good master. If Second Miss Chu angers her, there will be no end of trouble."
"With Madame Jinguo supporting her, moreover, her mother is Lady Yun, so naturally, the Emperor will protect her in every way!"
When Ting Yu heard this, she couldn't help but move closer to the Xian Consort and ask softly, "Is she actually the same as you?"
The Xian Consort couldn't help but not know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you thinking about? The Emperor has nothing to do with them, it's just that the Lady Yun was indebted to the Emperor's Great Zhou back then. Although the Emperor likes to settle debts later on, he's also a man of great grace.
"That's true, isn't the current Lord Qin sent out by the Emperor the person Empress found for the First Prince? "The empress has been snubbed by the emperor so many times today, I'm afraid it'll be hard for her to sleep and eat." After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh.
The jade fan made from the ivory silk in Xian Consort's hand could not help but knock on Ting Yu's head lightly, "What nonsense are you talking about? But, hearing that the Second Miss Chu is having dinner at the Queen's Palace, let's go take a look as well.
Ting Yu immediately understood. "Empress is right, this servant will arrange the imperial chariot now."
Empress Liu felt very vexed today. After being lectured by Emperor Xuanwu several times, now they had to bring Chu Qinghuan and Xue Jinlian to their Kunning Palace s to stay. This was simply adding fuel to the fire.
But, wasn't the reason why Xue Jinlian was like this was because of the overwork of the ship and the disharmony in his diet? The reason that she did not rest well was because she wanted to take advantage of the too much liquid flower feast to entertain the Madame Jinguo. The reason why her diet wasn't good was because that bastard Huangfu Yunqian had poured a cup of wine into her cup!
Even more hateful, that little bastard actually left Chu Qinghuan behind in his own name, talking about Buddha scriptures! Back then, when she was still in her daughter's room, she had also asked many people from the Monk Hong Yi to help her guess a few things. Unfortunately, in the end, no one knew where the Monk Hong Yi had wandered off to, and she was unable to realize her own thoughts.
So when he heard that Chu Qinghuan had won the favor of the Monk Hong Yi, he could not help but say a few more words, but that slut took him as an imperial decree to keep his people. And the most hateful person was the one who had been his pillow for so many years. Today, in front of these two juniors, he did not give the slightest bit of face, and he was even scolded by that deceitful official!
"Why aren't you eating? "Could it be that the palace's food is not to your liking?"
Chu Qinghuan smiled slightly, "Empress is being too serious, it's just that this subject's appetite has always been small, plus I ate a lot of fresh fruits this afternoon, I can't be considered to be hungry now."
Xue Jinlian had already put down her bowl and chopsticks, "Yeah, Qing Huan has eaten a lot of cherries secretly. This subject's daughter is still thinking about what the ancients say about cherries. But today, the cherry we've eaten is as big as half a mango, so wouldn't the cherry lips suddenly become a bloody big mouth? "
"Pfft!"
Huangfu Yunqian sprayed out a mouthful of soup. Seeing that, Empress Liu could not help but frown, a look of disdain flashed past her eyes.
Chu Qinghuan and Xue Jinlian, on the other hand, smiled inwardly, and a tinge of reproach flashed in their eyes, as if they were talking about you messing around.
"Queen Mother, this son has been disrespectful, I hope Queen Mother can forgive me!" Without Emperor Xuanwu present, Huangfu Yunqian did not dare act rashly, but she could not help but turn her gaze in Huangfu Wushuang's direction.
"Learn the rules from the two ladies, Xue Chu. Look at you, you're so irritable. I don't know when you'll be able to be a bit more obedient."
"Aunt Huang, Qian Er is still young, she hasn't been able to eat or sleep for the past few days. If it wasn't for Miss Xue telling a joke, she wouldn't have lost her composure, Aunt Huang, please forgive her this time."
Huangfu Wushuang's face of a princess was evidently much more honorable than Huangfu Yunqian's as a princess. As expected, the Empress Liu's face became warmer as she said, "Get up, you still haven't changed the dishes for the princess? "Those without eyes."
Palace Maid who was serving the meal trembled and hurriedly left. Chu Qinghuan laughed coldly in the bottom of her heart: Colourless? Empress Liu must be making an example out of this, right? She wanted to use the topic of Huangfu Wushuang to undermine their prestige.
When she thought of this, Chu Qinghuan couldn't help but reveal a slight smile. Xue Jinlian already opened his mouth: "It's because Jinlian doesn't know the rules, I hope that Empress and Princess do not take offense to it."
Empress Liu was amiable and amiable, how could she still deliberately find fault? This was originally supposed to be a disguised crime gratitude banquet, could it be that he would be able to find Xue Jinlian's fault again? He could only be satisfied with his words.
"What's wrong, we heard the little girl begging for forgiveness from far away, could it be that Qian Er has stirred up trouble again?"
Emperor Xuanwu's voice came from far away, but after hearing it, Huangfu Yunqian's face suddenly turned ugly! Why would Royal Father blame himself without even asking about it?
Chu Qinghuan wanted to laugh. This was the story of the wolf that she had heard before in the Yunan City. Once Huangfu Yunqian made a mistake, she would become a child who was unable to redeem herself, what kind of person was Emperor Xuanwu? Thunder and rain were both the Emperor's graces. Right now, he needed to rope in the Madame Jinguo, how could she blame Xue Jinlian for a princess who paid money for a princess?
"Why is the emperor here?" "Chenqie went out of her way to welcome you. I beg the emperor …"
Emperor Xuanwu personally helped the Empress Liu up, and said while laughing loudly: "Seeing that the empress's place is bustling with noise and excitement, we have come to join in on the fun, Empress, please do not despise us for our good."
Why would the Empress Liu despise him? There was no lack of beautiful imperial concubines in the palace. Emperor Xuanwu had only come here on the first fifteen years of the new year to see how much dignity she had as a queen.
Even if Emperor Xuanwu had come for the Xue Chu duo, it was enough to spread the news.
After all …
"Empress, shall we return?" Ting Yu was still a little unwilling, but she heard Xian Consort say with a laugh. "With Your Majesty here, Empress doesn't want to see me.
She raised her head to look at the moon on the branches of the willow tree. Her lips couldn't help but curl into a smile. It was bright and beautiful without the slightest hint of a struggle within the palace.
"The Queen thought that the Emperor was going to see Xue Jinlian and Chu Qinghuan, but she didn't know that the Emperor was going to see her. He really is an idiot, no wonder … All these years, the Emperor had her watch over the Kunning Palace. "
Ting Yu did not understand, "What does Empress mean by this?"
He knew that Ting Yu was not as smart as Zi Yun, who had died, but why did she need such a clever person? Was Zi Yun not killed by this?
"The emperor humiliated the empress, but she was still a nation's mother after all, so she could not be like Chu Qinghuan who was bestowed with gifts and apologies. Behind the empress was the Cheng En Marquis Palace, and Tutor Liu had also left some prestige for the empress's clan back then." She paused before continuing, "Besides, the Emperor personally coming to the Kunning Palace is just to warn us that the Empress's position is as stable as Mt. Tai. We don't need to think too much about it."
"Empress …"
"It doesn't matter. I don't care about Phoenix Seat at all. After all, that isn't the final victory either, right?"
When Ting Yu heard this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Xian Consort, and immediately realised something and immediately apologized, "This servant is lacking in manners."
Xian Consort waved her hand: "Forget it, I have always had good eyes. There is no need to go against the emperor, send those palace flowers that you made to the Kunning Palace tomorrow, and we will continue to live our lives."
Ting Yu nodded her head. The master and servant slowly walked forward, but they were getting further and further away from the Kunning Palace.
