Chapter 343: Slave Bullying the Master 1

The next morning,

Song Zhaode was served by the palace maids and changed into the red gauze dress that Xiao Jingheng had just given her.

The gauze dress is made of densely woven ice silk, colored with cochineal, and the lucky cloud pattern is woven with gold thread, and is lined with kingfisher tail feathers.

Each feather is dotted with tiny, brightly colored crystals. When the light is refracted, the broken beads are like colorful stars, gorgeous and dazzling.

The texture of the exiled fairy skirt is soft, but it is hard to tell what material it is made of.

I just felt that the color was bright and pure, and when I sniffed it lightly, there seemed to be the fragrance of flowers.

Yunshan said: "The flower thread on this exiled fairy skirt is as thin as fetal hair. It is made of three strands of gold and silver thread quenched with wine from hundreds of flowers. And the pearls on the hibiscus petals that mimic water drops are made of oriental pearls that are only allowed to be used by the queen."

She sounded quite proud in her words, and she was naturally flattered that her master was favored.

Behind him, two palace maids were combing Song Zhao's hair. They were also wearing various precious pearls and jades to embellish their black hair.

Song Zhao felt that something was wrong. "The teacher told me that concubines must abide by their own rules in terms of food, clothing and expenses. Am I being a little inappropriate when I dress like this today?"

Then she lowered her eyes shyly, "Xiao Lang said he doesn't like women who are too ostentatious."

Yunshan smiled and said, "What the tutor said is right, but these are all gifts from the emperor. When the emperor gives gifts, there is no such thing as publicity. But the emperor would only care if the queen doesn't wear them~"

Then, Song Zhao looked at the person in the mirror with a smile, and let seven or eight people busy themselves around her.

After she was made up, she looked very different from when she was a concubine.

Before she had "amnesia", Song Zhao often dressed plainly and didn't like to stand out too much.

Now that she is dressed up, even the four words "stunning" are not enough to describe her unparalleled beauty.

Not to mention that Xiao Jingheng would be attracted by her upon seeing her, even the palace maids and eunuchs were stunned by her, whispering to each other and praising her highly.

Because today he was going to pay respects to Concubine Chen, Song Zhao said before he left:

"On the first day after I recover, I will go to see the six concubines in the palace. I will go to the palace of Concubine Chen. It may not be appropriate for so many of you to follow me. Yunshan and Xiao Fuzi will accompany me and serve me."

The palace maids all agreed, and on the way to Yonghe Palace, when they passed by the rockery in the Imperial Garden, Song Zhao saw from afar several concubines walking together not far in front of her.

The person walking in the middle was very slender, so thin that he seemed like he could be blown away by a gust of wind.

After not seeing her for three years, Song Zhao only saw her back and didn't recognize her.

Yunshan whispered, "It's Concubine Yao."

Song Zhao was shocked. "Why is she so thin?"

Xiao Fuzi said, "In order to please the Emperor and keep her figure slim, Concubine Yao often only eats one meal a day. If she is hungry the rest of the time, she drinks papaya milk non-stop."

Song Zhao sneered, "The beggars on the street haven't had a meal for days, and they are so skinny from hunger. Why hasn't the emperor summoned them into the palace, made them noble ladies, or sent them to sit on his own throne?"

"Hahaha~" Yunshan laughed happily and said jokingly, "The emperor always sleeps with candles. The acne on Concubine Yao's face has not been treated for years. I'm afraid that when the emperor has sex with her, he will have to find a piece of cloth to cover her face, otherwise it will always be unlucky."

The master and servant were all very happy. Song Zhao glanced at Yunshan and asked curiously:

"You seem very dissatisfied with her?"

Yunshan said angrily, "She used to be good friends with the young lady, but since she was promoted to the position of concubine, she has become distant from the young lady and has also plotted against her. When the young lady was framed in Chaoyang Palace that day, wasn't it she and Concubine Yun who took the lead in asking the emperor to execute the young lady?"

Song Zhao smiled and ignored the past events, saying only:

"Let's go. We are old friends. Let's go to Sister Wan's palace together."

After these words were spoken, the master and his two servants quickened their pace.

But Concubine Yao, who was walking in front, was still unaware.

Li Changzai and Kang Ying, who were in her palace, separated her from her.

Li Changzai and Concubine Yao were admiring flowers along the way. They were talking and laughing, and they were not walking fast.

Kang Da Ying, who was following beside her, was always timid. She saw that Concubine Yao was walking too slowly. She hesitated for a long time before she started to persuade her:

"Your Highness, let's go faster, shall we? Today is the first day that Noble Concubine Yi has come to see us after recovering from her illness. If we lose our manners, it will be bad..."

"What? Are you in a hurry?" Concubine Yao glanced at her. "If you are in a hurry, just run over. No one will stop you. Normally, I pay respects to Concubine Chen at noon. I just need to go according to the time. What can Song Zhao say to me?"

After being scolded like this, Kang Da Ying became depressed and kept silent.

Li Changzai even pushed her and said, "Go away, don't keep crying beside the Empress."

Then she turned around and smiled, flattering Concubine Yao, "Your Majesty, please don't pay attention to her. I think there is nothing wrong with what you did. The title of Concubine Song was given to her by the emperor out of pity. She lost a child..."

When the words came to his lips, Li Changzai suddenly remembered Xiao Jingheng's imperial edict and quickly changed the subject:

"She has fallen and become half a fool. Why should Your Majesty be so respectful to her?"

This made Concubine Yao feel relieved, and she sneered:

"She has lived in the cold palace for so long that she must have gone moldy. Why should we be afraid of her? I just despise her coquettish appearance! She calls the emperor "Lang" all the time, but that is a title that only wives can call. Who is she? The Song family is guilty of the court, so she is the daughter of a criminal. What's the matter? Could it be that she is still dreaming of becoming the empress in the future?"

——"Are you talking about me?"

Princess Yao was just enjoying her mouth.

Suddenly, a cold female voice came from behind her, scaring her so much that her soul almost flew away.
