Chapter 161 Bai Jieyu's Reminder

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Nanny Xi had no idea what Concubine Lian was thinking. Seeing that she finally listened to her advice, she was very happy and carefully helped her to Fengwu Palace.

Because of the delay on the way, Concubine Lian was the last one to arrive at Fengwu Palace, and even the Queen was already sitting on the Phoenix Throne.

When all the concubines looked at her, Concubine Lian became a little angry and embarrassed, especially glaring at Xu Lanshan before sitting down.

Boss Xu Lanshan was speechless. She was late, so why was he glaring at her?

Lianpin sat down, then belatedly realized that she should have apologized to the Queen first. If it weren't for that bitch Xu Lanshan, why would she have been so careless? It was all Xu Lanshan's fault!

She glared at Xu Lanshan again.

Xu Lanshan: “…”

This time, not only she, but many other concubines also noticed that Concubine Lian had a strong grievance against Concubine Chen Gui. How dare she do this in front of everyone!

If Xu Lanshan continued to give in, she would become a laughing stock in the palace, and anyone could come forward and step on her! She wasn't necessarily afraid, but it would be very troublesome to deal with.

She smiled and said gently to Lianpin, "Lianpin, you are late today! It would be fine if you were late, but why didn't you apologize to the Empress and pay your respects quickly?"

Lianpin was enraged and sneered without thinking: "What does it have to do with you!"

Xu Lanshan smiled, becoming even more amiable. "I'm just giving you a kind reminder. Besides, what Lianpin did was wrong. Can't I even mention it?"

Lianpin was furious, her face as black as the bottom of a pot, and she said, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you mock me like that!"

Xu Lanshan was also angry, and responded with a sharp sneer: "I was personally appointed as the Noble Concubine of Chen by the Emperor. So what? If Concubine Lian has any objections, then go to the Emperor and remove my position. Otherwise, Concubine Lian really has no right to speak so rudely in front of me!"

"you!"

"Alright," the Queen said, her mood brightening as she watched them quarrel. She tried not to show it, but instead became even more dignified and gentle, speaking earnestly, "You two are all grown-ups, yet you're still bickering like children all day long. Thankfully, we're all sisters here. If word got out, wouldn't it be a laughingstock for outsiders? Lianpin, you're truly wrong. Why don't you apologize to Chen Guipin?"

Lianpin's eyes were filled with anger and she was fuming!

Xu Lanshan smiled, stood up and bowed to the Queen: "With your words, Your Majesty, I am satisfied. I dare not ask for an apology from Concubine Lian. I cannot bear it! Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave!"

The concubines were silent.

Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu subconsciously exchanged glances and were secretly shocked. When did Concubine Chen become so powerful?

Every word she said was measured, but it stabbed Lianpin's heart like a knife, making her lose face!

How could Concubine Lian, with her temper, stand this? They had misjudged her!

The queen was somewhat helpless, sighed softly, and smiled: "Forget it, you go first!"

"Thank you, Queen!"

Concubine Bai also stood up to take her leave, and soon after, Concubine Mei did the same. The Queen smiled and nodded in agreement.

The three of them left Fengwu Palace one after another.

"Noble Concubine Chen!"

Xu Lanshan stopped when she heard Bai Jieyu's voice, turned around and smiled at her, "Sister Bai, there's no need to be so distant. Just call me as you used to."

Bai Jieyu smiled and said, "Palace rules cannot be violated, but this is inappropriate. Your Highness should know Lianpin's personality. She has a backer, so Your Highness should know what's going on..."

She has a strong backer, so she has the capital to be fearless. Although Xu Lanshan is now a noble concubine of a higher rank than her, this rank may not be able to suppress her.

If Xu Lanshan was careless and something unexpected happened, she would not be able to do anything to Lianpin.

Concubine Bai really cares about Xu Lanshan, but unfortunately she is lucky enough to be able to protect herself and there is nothing else she can do.

She was afraid that Xu Lanshan would finally become superior to Lianpin and become too proud of herself, so she gave her a few gentle reminders.

For Bai Jieyu, this was the limit of what she could do.

You have to know that with Xu Lanshan's current status and favor, if she really becomes arrogant, he will definitely be unhappy after listening to her words. He may even become estranged from her and never pay attention to her again.

Xu Lanshan understood the hidden meaning behind Bai Jieyu's reminder, and her heart warmed. She smiled at her, "Thank you, Sister Bai. I know you're doing this for my own good. Don't worry, Sister Bai, I know everything is clear. Sister Bai and I will remain the same as we were in the past. If anyone wants to vent their anger on you or cause trouble for you, just come to me."

Bai Jieyu finally felt relieved, and a look of relief subconsciously appeared between her eyebrows. She nodded with a smile: "I will be fine, Your Majesty, take care."

"Well, Sister Bai, I'll go first!" Xu Lanshan nodded and smiled, and walked towards Ganyuan Palace without any hesitation.

Lianpin was rude to her and didn't take her seriously at all. How could she just let it go?

Bai Jieyu looked at the direction she left, not knowing what she was thinking, and sighed softly.

The sound of Concubine Mei's chuckle came from behind her. Bai Jieyu was startled. She turned around and saw that it was her. She quickly knelt and bowed: "Greetings to Concubine Mei!"

"Get up." Mei Guipin smiled faintly, "You have a good relationship with Chen Guipin. Chen Guipin is a smart person. You don't have to worry about her. Instead, you should be more cautious. You can't guarantee that someone won't want to take advantage of you and do something!"

Concubine Bai was stunned. Before she could say anything, Concubine Mei had already disappeared.

In the Qianyuan Palace, Emperor Yuan Yong was processing memorials and would soon summon his ministers. When he heard the report that Concubine Chen Gui had arrived, he was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a moment and chuckled: "Well, since she's here, let her in!"

Lan'er is not the kind of person who doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. Since she came here at this time, there must be something wrong.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!"

"Get up!" Emperor Yuan Yong's mood brightened upon seeing his beloved, who was so pretty and graceful, and whose beauty was beyond compare. A smile appeared on his handsome face. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her on his lap. He lowered his head and kissed her, gently stroking her snow-white and tender face with his slender fingers. He smiled and said, "What made you come here? Hmm?"

Xu Lanshan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes as charming as silk: "Is it not okay for me to miss the emperor?"

"Okay, of course, I miss Lan'er too!"

The two smiled at each other and whispered to each other more intimately.

After a while of affection, Emperor Yuan Yong said softly: "I still want to see my ministers, Lan'er——"

Before he could finish, Xu Lanshan interrupted with a smile, "I'll just step aside. I won't disturb the emperor's important work!"

Emperor Yuan Yong originally wanted her to go back first, but after hearing this and the beautiful woman looking at him delicately and pitifully, how could he bear to let her go?
