Chapter 29 The Queen Scolds Concubine Lian

Concubine Lian sneered: "Your Majesty, are you going to make the decision for this bitch too? Your Majesty is truly virtuous!"

"It's not your place to judge whether I'm virtuous or not, Concubine Lian. We're all sisters. This is excessive! If you continue like this, don't blame me for grounding you again."

If I am confined to my room, I am afraid that this birthday party will not be celebrated.

Concubine Lian glared at Xu Lanshan gloomily and shut up unwillingly.

My ears are finally at peace.

The Queen glanced at Concubine Lian with some annoyance, filled with disgust, and said coldly, "Concubine Lian, if you still can't control your mouth, don't come to pay your respects again. I allow you not to come!"

Concubine Lian stared at the Queen in disbelief: How dare she! How dare she say that to her!

How could the Queen be afraid of her? She simply ignored her out of respect for the Empress Dowager and the Fu family. Although her words and actions had been particularly annoying in the past, they had never been this extreme. Now, she was becoming increasingly crazy and unscrupulous.

Listen to what's in that mouthful!

Just for this reason, even if the Queen Mother asked, she would have something to say.

She has endured it for several years, but Concubine Lian has not changed at all. As the queen, shouldn't she teach her a lesson?

After paying their respects, the Queen was in no mood to keep everyone talking, so she ordered them all to leave.

Xu Lanshan and others bowed and took their leave.

Concubine Lian glared at Xu Lanshan fiercely, and thinking about the birthday party that was just around the corner, she didn't bother her anymore. Instead, she deliberately passed by Song Ronghua and pushed her hard, causing Song Ronghua to scream "Ah!" and almost fall down.

I don't know whether I pushed it to myself or threw it to myself.

She doesn't care anyway.

That night, the emperor went to Cuiyinxuan and stayed overnight as he had promised.

When the various palaces heard this, they all felt complicated.

Many things were smashed in Concubine Lian's palace.

Even the Queen couldn't help but sigh: "The Emperor's favor towards Concubine Xu is too much!"

Nanny Yan smiled and said, "I still say the same thing. You are the Empress, you don't need to worry. This is just the beginning! In the past, Concubine Yu was much more favored than this."

The Queen couldn't help but laugh, "That's right, I'm overthinking it. But how can Xu Chang compare to Concubine Yu? Her background is a joke, Concubine Yu is a noble lady."

Nanny Yan smiled faintly: "It's all the same. Once you enter the palace, your previous status won't be that useful. Especially since our emperor is a wise ruler, he won't tolerate concubines using their natal status to make excuses. Everything depends on whether the emperor likes it or not. For the queen, it would be a great thing if Concubine Xu could challenge them!"

The Queen laughed heartily, feeling very happy: "Mammy, what you said is absolutely right!"

The good atmosphere in Cuiyinxuan was maintained from the beginning to the end, and Emperor Yuanyong and Xu Lanshan spent another very pleasant night together. The two of them were becoming more and more harmonious in this matter. The kind of exhilaration, the soul-stirring and the joyful connection that Emperor Yuanyong had never experienced anywhere else.

Not only was there harmony in this, but Emperor Yuan Yong also felt extremely relaxed and happy while chatting and spending time with Xu Lanshan in Cuiyin Pavilion.

He really liked this woman more and more. So much so that even though she slept in such an awkward position and still had the audacity to hold him tightly and even put one leg on him, he didn't feel offended at all and was actually a little happy.

Moreover, it was time for him to get up and go to court, but he moved very carefully for fear of waking her up.

When Xu Lanshan woke up, it was already bright outside and there was no one around her.

She subconsciously reached out to touch it, but found nothing and curled her lips unconsciously.

In fact, she vaguely felt the man getting up, but his movements were very gentle, and it was obvious that he did not want to disturb her sleep. She was exhausted last night, her body was sore and she was sleeping soundly, so she was too lazy to force herself to wake up.

Humph, the man came in again before leaving Cuiyinxuan, and even leaned over to kiss her. She felt it!

Thinking of his little actions, the smile on Xu Lanshan's beautiful face deepened, and her heart felt soft and sweet.

This feeling is actually quite good, as long as you don’t become obsessed with it and cannot extricate yourself.

Paying respects today was a common thing, and all the concubines were already a little numb to it. Concubine Lian had just been scolded yesterday, so no one was so ignorant as to run into the Empress's gun.

So disharmonious.

Instead, the Queen looked at Xu Lanshan twice with a rather deep gaze, thinking in her heart that perhaps she should quietly show some favor to this Concubine Xu.

Otherwise, it might be too late later.

A few days later, it was Concubine Lian's birthday.

The Queen ordered a banquet to be held in the Zhuofu Palace next to the peony garden to celebrate Concubine Lian's birthday. Early in the morning, many palace maids and eunuchs went there to get busy.

On Princess Lian’s birthday, all the “sisters” had to send gifts.

Xu Lanshan picked out two decent jade pieces from the precious ornaments bestowed upon her by the emperor, packed them up, and sent them over.

After paying her respects to the Queen and having breakfast, about half an hour later, Xu Lanshan went to Zhuofu Palace.

She was ranked low, so she should have arrived earlier.

Usually the last person to perform is the big boss.

Everyone arrived one after another, except for Concubine Lian, the birthday girl, and the Queen.

This was a bit tricky. Everyone looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

Concubine Lian felt that she was the birthday girl and the most important today, so it was natural that she should be the last one to perform; but the Queen was the master of all the six palaces, so it was natural that she should be the last one to perform.

Xu Lanshan and the others were feeling a little sleepy and yawned secretly several times.

This Concubine Lian is really boring. What is she arguing about? After today, will she no longer be under the Queen's control?

The two sides fought a tug-of-war until the end, and Concubine Lian won.

The queen came with a smile, and soon Concubine Lian also arrived.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as they sat down, the Queen smiled and said, "Today is a good day for Concubine Lian. We are all indebted to Concubine Lian. We should toast her a few more times later."

Everyone laughed and said yes.

Concubine Lian subconsciously couldn't help looking away, and even after hearing this, she seemed a little absent-minded. Instead, she couldn't help but ask, "Where's the Emperor? Why hasn't the Emperor come yet? Your Majesty, I want to send someone to Ganyuan Palace to check. What do you think?"

The Queen frowned slightly, "The Emperor may be busy with political matters, so we can just wait. Sister, don't worry!"

Is your birthday more important or national affairs? How dare she rush me? I really don't know what she's thinking!

Concubine Lian obviously understood this, so she wanted the Queen to take the initiative and send someone to invite them, and she was unwilling to take the responsibility herself.

Unexpectedly, the queen blocked it without giving any face.

Her face immediately looked a little unhappy and she snorted softly.
