Chapter 728: Someone Else Should Kneel

Song Yanxi turned around, her eyes cold, "May I ask if the Imperial Concubine has any other instructions?"

"Orders?" Imperial Concubine Yu chuckled. "You are now His Majesty's favorite, the sweetheart of His Highness Prince Jin. How dare I give you orders?"

Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Song Yanxi couldn't help but frown.

She was fine just now, why did he dislike her now?

When their eyes met, there was clearly anger in Concubine Yu's eyes.

She sneered and said, "I heard that you have been learning the rules from the Queen in Fengyi Palace these days. In my opinion, you really need to learn them well.

It just so happens that I have a few experienced palace maids here, so you can stay in Yuyao Palace and learn from them how to be a good Princess Jin in the future."

As Concubine Yu spoke, she instructed Lian Qiao, who was standing beside her, "Go and prepare a room for Princess Yong'an in the side hall. The one closest to me."

Lian Qiao quickly agreed, but when she turned to walk out, she was stopped by Song Yanxi.

"Wait a minute, girl."

Imperial Concubine Yu looked at me with a gloomy look in her eyes. "Why, you don't want to live here with me?"

Meeting her inquiring gaze, Song Yanxi had only four words to say.

"It doesn't make sense."

Concubine Yu is neither Mo Jinchuan's biological mother nor the master of the Central Palace. Even if she really wants to learn the so-called rules, it is not her turn.

Otherwise, it would be beyond the rules.

Even though the Imperial Concubine was of noble status and had been favored by His Majesty in the past, she would never be able to surpass the Empress.

Imperial Concubine Yu's expression suddenly darkened. "How dare you use the Empress to pressure me?"

Song Yanxi bowed and said respectfully, "This humble servant is only following the rules of etiquette. I am worried that the Imperial Concubine might do something bad with good intentions. I have no intention of offending you."

If she insisted on feeling this way, then she could only let her be.

After all, as a human being, it is impossible to satisfy everyone.

"What a sharp-tongued girl!" Concubine Yu was so angry that her face turned blue, but she still had to maintain her dignity.

Even though she didn't want to admit it in her heart, the queen always had one over her.

The woman who was more than ten years younger than her and only a few years older than her two children was now the mistress of this harem.

Even though she and His Majesty were childhood sweethearts and had children for him, in his eyes she was still not worthy of the position of queen.

In his heart, there is only himself!

Concubine Yu raised her hand and pointed at the door, angrily shouting, "Get out, all of you, get out!"

*

"My Lady, my wife may have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She means no harm. Please don't take it personally."

Lian Qiao personally sent Song Yanxi to the door and explained in a low voice.

As if afraid that she wouldn't believe it, she continued, "Although the Queen has a bad temper, she will only punish us slightly if we don't do our job well.

Although he cursed fiercely, his men never took the lives of palace maids. "

Lian Qiao lowered her head and said with some embarrassment, "Even someone like me who is naturally stupid was kept by the Empress to serve her closely.

If it were any other palace, he would have been driven away long ago."

Song Yanxi listened, but remained silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

She also didn't think that the honest and simple girl in front of her was as stupid as Concubine Yu said.

But there are some things that she, an outsider, should not say.

If this girl could continue to enjoy it like this, it would be a good thing.

At the end of her words, Lian Qiao slowly lowered her head and said sadly, "My queen is just too lonely. It's easy for her to have wild thoughts when she's alone."

Realizing what she had said, she quickly raised her hand and slapped herself, hurriedly saying, "Princess, calm down. It was I who spoke too much. Please pretend you didn't hear anything!"

Song Yanxi nodded, then turned and left under her complicated gaze.

Lian Qiao stood at the door for a while before walking back.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard Concubine Yu's scolding from inside, "You useless thing, you can't even keep a person, what use do I have to you?"

Lian Qiao knelt down obediently and said respectfully, "It is my incompetence, Your Majesty, please calm down."

A sneer came from inside the room, "Since you know you are incompetent, kneel down."

*

"Ridiculous!" Emperor Xuande slammed the memorial in his hand onto the table and said gloomily, "This is clearly an attempt to shit on my head."

De Hai hurried forward, patted his back to calm him down, and whispered, "Your Majesty, calm down. Your health is more important."

Emperor Xuande sneered, "Don't worry, I won't die yet.

Some people are making a fuss about Concubine Shu's death, isn't it just to anger me to death?

If I fall for this trick, I will truly be doing what they want."

Dehai hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise. They are just some scoundrels who can't sit still when they see that Da'an is becoming more and more prosperous under your leadership and the people are living and working in peace and contentment.

Such a heart of a tiger or a wolf should be punished by all who find it!"

"What's the point of saying these nice things?"

Emperor Xuande looked at Song Yanxi, frowned, and asked, "Girl, did you find anything wrong while guarding Yuyao Palace last night?"

Your Majesty, are you suspecting that Concubine Yu directed and acted out her own actions yesterday?

Suppressing her thoughts, Song Yanxi said respectfully, "Your Majesty, judging from the Imperial Concubine's pulse, she has been troubled by deep thought and has developed a drinking habit."

Emperor Xuande couldn't help but frown, "When did it happen?"

Song Yanxi: "About a year."

"Crash!" Everything on the table was swept to the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Song Yanxi was about to kneel when she heard Emperor Xuande say coldly, "You don't have to kneel. Someone else should kneel."

Without his instructions, Dehai said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go and get Doctor Qi."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but curse Doctor Qi for being stupid in his heart.

The fact that concubines were addicted to the bad habit of alcoholism could be a serious matter, especially for Concubine Yu.

Compared to other things, drinking too much is just a harmless little problem.

As long as she behaves herself in her own palace and does not cause trouble in the harem, His Majesty will even send someone to bring her wine.

But Imperial Physician Qi should never have helped the Imperial Concubine hide the truth from His Majesty.

The two of them share a bed together. After so many years, even though the novelty has long since worn off, the feelings are still there.

Even if there is a conflict, for the sake of their two children, they will give each other some dignity.

But who are you, Doctor Qi?

He took the salary given by His Majesty, but was so audacious as to help Concubine Yu conceal the truth from His Majesty and fool people like fools.

You're just an imperial physician, but you really think you're such a big shot!

The more Dehai thought about it, the angrier he became. He wished he could run to the Imperial Hospital immediately.

Although his legs were not in good condition, he walked with such a bold and decisive attitude that Song Yanxi was afraid that he would strain his leg when he stepped over the threshold.

Fortunately, everything went well.

Seeing the concern in her eyes, Emperor Xuande said meaningfully, "No wonder this slippery old man likes you. In this palace, the only thing that is most precious is true love."

Song Yanxi lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Yanxi is dull, thank you Your Majesty for not disliking me."

"You." Emperor Xuande smiled and shook his head. "Well, it's better to be humble than to be arrogant. You can withstand the test."

As if she didn't understand his hidden meaning, Song Yanxi said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should say it."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuande immediately became interested and said, "There is something you dare not say. Come, tell me."

Thinking of something, he smiled and said, "Just speak boldly and I will forgive you."
