"If it's where this is supposed to be, then isn't it supposed to be?!" Besides, isn't the harem just a matter between women? It's not that complicated. The empress is too modest! " Feng Yu didn't know what she had said to these people for so long. She couldn't help but admire herself. After chatting for a while, they began to talk about important matters.
"We are going to give the Emperor his birthday. Our harem is going to contribute. I wonder what the Empress plans for this?" The Venerable Shen who had been silent all this while still stood up with his arrogant face and said, "There's never been anything new in the past. How about our empress embroidery a dragon robe for the emperor this year?" "Besides, the emperor likes the way the empress wears the empress's dragon robes so much. The dragon robes she embroidered must be even more heroic and radiant."
Venerable Shen made a face at his concubine, and some of his followers started to chime in. Feng Yu simply did not know what was going on in their gourd. Feng Yu was not good at embroidery, so he naturally could not casually agree.
"Everyone might not be clear about this, but I'm not good at being a female expert. If I wanted to become a dragon robe, it would be better to hire an embroidery lady from the palace. After all, this is done for generations of emperors." I don't think we can compare at all, I have to admit that. " After saying that, Zhan Fengyu picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. It was really difficult to talk to these women and he was extremely thirsty.
"What?" Esteemed Empress said she doesn't know how to work women? " An unknown concubine suddenly cried out in alarm.
Feng Yu almost spat out her tea.
"What did sister say?" "The empress clearly said that she's not good at women, so how could any woman not know how to do it? Not to mention our empress." Feng Yu was actually very grateful to her concubine for helping him out, but to be fair, she didn't know how to work women.
After a while, everyone left. Just then, the person beside the Venerable Shen asked: "Why did your benefactor give the Empress such a good idea?" Venerable Shen did not reply as he still had that expression on his face. The only difference was that a strange smile appeared on the corners of his mouth this time.
Time slowly passed. That day, he was mocked by the others. After not knowing how to work female workers, Feng Yu had been diligently studying female workers. The imperial robe was also slowly being embroidered. As usual, these imperial concubines came to pay their respects to Feng Yu. On the surface, they didn't seem strange, but in reality, they were different. Not only did Feng Yu want to pay respects to Xuanyuan Zhan, he also wanted to prove himself.
Xuanyuan Zhan was also completely confused about Feng Yu's recent actions, so he let her do it for the time being. There were too many things to be taken care of in the imperial court, Xuanyuan Zhan did not even think about his birthday, there were still officials talking about it, and the king's birthday was supposed to be a national celebration.
And now, Tian Fengyu's royal robe was finally completed. Feng Yu was wild with joy as well. Coincidentally, the Imperial Consort Shen arrived. Seeing Feng Yu's dragon robe, she pretended to remind her with good intentions.
Feng Yu had always been wary of Venerable Shen, so she waited for Venerable Shen to leave before she sent someone to deliver the dragon robe to the Raccoon Room. When it was the Emperor's birthday, he would be able to let Xuanyuan Zhan wear it.
Venerable Shen had already bribed all the servants in the raccoon room to secretly leave the bag with Feng Yu's dragon robe. Waiting for Feng Yu to present a dragon robe with one claw missing in front of the court officials was a heinous crime. Thinking about this, the Venerable Shen was wild with joy.
However, everything went smoothly that day. The dragon robe that Feng Yu presented was intact, and she was also praised by the court officials, saying that it was the Queen's Dual Blessing of Virtue. This would cause the Venerable Shen to be extremely angry.
It turned out that Feng Yu didn't send the embroidered dragon robe to the racetrack room, but rather, it was washed by the famous person himself. What he gifted the other day was only Xuanyuan Zhan's old court uniform when he was a prince.
Venerable Shen failed to frame Feng Yu, and he even made Feng Yu receive the praises of many ministers from the imperial court because of his suggestion. Originally, some ministers were dissatisfied with Feng Yu, but after this matter, they began to treat him differently.
Venerable Shen, on the other hand, did not get anything and helped Feng Yu. It was not good for the Venerable Shen to flare up during the banquet, after all, he was a lady from a noble family. He had to maintain his poise in front of outsiders.
Until the end of the banquet, Venerable Shen happened to see a blissful Feng Yu sitting beside Xuanyuan Zhan. Furious, he lifted up his skirt and was about to leave, but was stopped by his father at this moment.
"What the hell is going on? Why didn't you perform on the emperor's birthday at all?" Now that the position of Empress had been snatched away by Feng Yu, her performance at the banquet today was very impressive. She also seemed to be an intelligent woman. The palace is not like my own residence. Although your father is the head of the court, you have to know clearly which concubine of the harem is not a noble family. You must remember that your father told you not to make too many enemies. You are now a imperial concubine, and your own interests are inseparable from the interests of the clan.
The chief assistant had been very kind to his daughter. Ever since she was young, her youngest daughter had been raised to be a prince. The people of the family had always let her be. Now, she was left alone in the palace as a father, and her heart was filled with unease.
"Alright, alright, daddy, I'm already the emperor's concubine. I know everything you say, I'll listen to you. Don't worry about your daughter all the time." Just be a good chief assistant to you. "
Venerable Shen didn't listen attentively to his father's words. In his heart, he was still brooding over the matter of Feng Yu. He then bid farewell to the Lord Chief Assistant and returned to the palace.
Looking at his daughter's departing figure, the head assistant took a deep breath and sighed.
"Esteemed Empress sent someone to deliver the dessert." The palace maid's hands trembled as she held the plate.
Venerable Shen looked at the palace maid who was speaking, and her eyes revealed a look of hatred.
"Is she showing me off? This damned woman! And you, all of you deserve to die. " When Venerable Shen said this, he excitedly flipped the dessert plate to the ground. Even the eastern girl who was carrying the plate wasn't spared.
"Imperial Concubine, please calm your anger. This, this is the empress's birthday cake given to the nobles of each garden. The other empress have all received it, so it's not targeted at you." The palace maid who had spoken might only be doing so to ease Venerable Shen's emotions, but she was trying to stir up trouble.
"What are you, as long as you talk too much here. "Why? If I say that the empress is in a bad mood, would you inform me?"
Venerable Shen was filled with resentment, but he was still worried about not having a place to vent it out. Now, it was time for the palace maid to make her move.
"This servant doesn't dare, this servant knows her wrongs and this servant knows her wrongs." Hearing Venerable Shen's words, the palace maid was frightened, and continuously kowtowed and admitted her wrongs.
"It's good that you know you've made a mistake. However, since you've made a mistake, you should be punished. Somebody, slap your own face!"
Venerable Shen sat down leisurely and watched the palace maid receive her punishment with interest.
Who knew how many times the palace maid had to clap her hands? At the moment, no one dared to go against Venerable Shen. No one dared to ask either. Venerable Shen did not speak, and just kept slapping his face, until the palace maid fainted. The palace maid's arms were also aching from the slaps. Seeing that it was already late, the emotions in Venerable Shen's heart more or less dissipated. He yawned, then told the palace maids beside him that he was tired, and that he needed to rest.
Only after hearing this did the people of the palace dare to drag the unconscious palace maid out to clean up the bloodstains on the floor.
It was just that after this fight with the Venerable Shen, the people from the harem had a bad impression of the Venerable Shen. After that, everyone listened to the Venerable Shen's name and described it with vicious and merciless words. Everyone was far away from him.
It was just that since he couldn't succeed in dealing with Feng Yu, the Venerable Shen couldn't let go of this matter in his heart. However, he had no other ways to strike at her, so he could only calm down for a while.
But at this time, Rou Meier came over and said: "Esteemed Empress, looks like your complexion hasn't been good recently?" Hearing Rou Meier's strange words made the Imperial Consort Shen even more furious.
"If you're only here to make fun of me, you don't have to. You can leave."
"I am definitely not here to make fun of the Empress. I am just an idle person in this palace, and do not want to curry favor with the Empress like the other concubines. Mei Er is a lowly person, so I am naturally not a match for the other empress. Just because she was the biological mother of the current crown prince, she had gotten such a huge bargain for nothing. He didn't know if the empress would use the crown prince's name to say no to the emperor's ear, or else the emperor wouldn't care about us, or even the Venerable Shen wouldn't take it to heart. It's really hard to fathom. "
As Rou Meier said these words, her gaze turned to the frowning Venerable Shen, it seemed that her own words had already played a role.
Seeing that Venerable Shen still had some doubts, and did not speak for a long time, Rou Meier walked into the Venerable Shen and continued to make her own suggestions.
"Empress, do you know that the winter is over, that the spring equinox is about to come, and that the annual hunt is about to begin?"
"What do you mean you don't know? All year round, you still use the same tricks. How boring, could it be that you want to …" Venerable Shen might have also sensed something, but at this time, Rou Meier suddenly said something in front of Imperial Consort Shen's ears, and then laughed heartily.
"Rou Meier, how could you be so smart? I didn't even think about it, but after what happened last time, I felt that Feng Yu wasn't like the ignorance that we saw on the surface. On the contrary, I felt that she was very smart. So, I'm still worried that it won't be that easy to tease her this time. " After she finished speaking, Venerable Shen felt like there was no hope again, she sat on the chair dejectedly.
"Empress doesn't need to personally step out this time. Since Venerable Shen has praised the empress's intelligence, I believe Empress should have long since taken precautions against Venerable Shen. Even the private empress had no reason to trust the Venerable Shen. Firstly, your identity is the most expensive, and you are the only one who could make the empress's greatest opponent in this huge harem. In order to protect her position as Empress, can she not guard against you, Venerable Shen? "
