Chapter 85 The Beautiful Lady Chen

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "The Queen manages the harem very well. Both I and the Emperor have seen it."

Concubine Lian glared at Xu Lanshan fiercely.

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Mei again, comforted her with a few words, and rewarded her and Concubine Mo with some things.

Concubine Mei remained indifferent, and Concubine Mo remained fawning.

Then, the Queen Mother smiled and said, as if it were a casual remark: "Where is the noble lady Chen?"

Xu Lanshan sighed inwardly. Even with Concubine Mei and Noble Mo around, what was supposed to happen would still happen.

She had no choice but to stand up and step forward, kneeling and bowing: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I am the Concubine Chen."

"No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Xu Lanshan stood there, and the Queen Mother looked at her.

The Queen Mother's gaze was gentle, and her narrow and long phoenix eyes seemed to contain no other emotions. However, Xu Lanshan felt suffocated as she stood there.

She knew that the Queen Mother was actually dissatisfied with her.

But what could she do? Concubine Lian's harem was filled with a strong sense of justice, and they saw her as an alien and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. Unless she died as she wished, the conflict would be impossible to reconcile.

This kind of hatred is the most unreasonable and illogical.

After a while, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Raise your head so I can take a closer look."

"yes."

Xu Lanshan slowly raised her head.

"She's a good-looking girl," the Empress Dowager nodded and smiled. "She's born with a good-looking face, no wonder the Emperor likes her. But you shouldn't have those bangs like that; it takes away a quarter of your beauty! In the future, dress better, so the Emperor will be pleased."

"Yes..." Xu Lanshan's heart sank, knowing that she could no longer hide the deteriorating appearance that she had been trying so hard to conceal.

All the concubines - except the Queen - were a little surprised by what the Queen Mother said, and they all looked at Xu Lanshan carefully.

The concubines were shocked to realize that Concubine Chen always liked to keep her head down and lower her eyebrows, and with her long bangs let down, no one had ever really seen her appearance, let alone paid special attention to her.

Now, taking a closer look, she is indeed a beauty with delicate and charming features and moving eyes! Coupled with her skin as white as snow and as delicate as jade, her beauty is even more outstanding!

The concubines were all shocked and angry, gnashing their teeth. How cunning was this Concubine Chen! She had been pretending for so long!

Needless to say, she would never dress like this in front of the emperor! She would definitely dress as stunningly as possible.

No wonder the emperor likes her so much...

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction and instructed Nanny Chang, "The more I see this child, the more I like him. Go and fetch my golden hairpin with a phoenix and a pearl in its mouth and give it to Concubine Chen."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Xu Lanshan quickly knelt down to express her gratitude: "I thank the Queen Mother for the reward!"

"Get up, sit down. Serve the emperor well."

"yes."

Concubine Lian was shocked and furious, gritting her teeth and saying, "My Lady Chen, you've been pretending all this time! And you still dare to say you don't have any hidden agenda!"

Xu Lanshan has already let it go.

Now that you are here, make the best of it.

Anyway, I have now reached the position of a fourth-rank noble lady, and I still have a title. I have a certain weight in the emperor's heart, and the queen will protect me if she still needs me.

She is no longer the little concubine who had nothing back then.

So, if you can’t hide it, then you can’t hide it.

Xu Lanshan looked at Concubine Lian with an innocent look, her eyes clear and frank: "Sister Concubine Lian, what do you mean? I am just used to dressing like this."

Concubine Lian sneered: "Do you dare to say that you are like this in front of the emperor?"

"I am almost the same when I am in front of the Emperor, except when I take my hair down."

"you!"

When did she take off her bun? Of course, when she was sleeping with him.

Concubine Lian was so angry that she glared at him because she was secretly showing off.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, secretly cursing her niece for her impatience.

No one else said anything, but she talked so much.

There was no plan at all. Everything was on the table, but nothing could be done! How could she possibly appreciate it?

If there was no one in her family, she would never be allowed to enter the palace.

It’s really hard for her. She has been fighting with Concubine Chen for so long, but she didn’t even notice this!

It is understandable that the other concubines did not notice it, after all, no one else did the same as Concubine Chen.

"Okay, I'm a little tired, please kneel down."

"Yes, I will take my leave!"

The Queen led all the concubines away. Concubine Lian looked at the Queen Mother frequently, wanting to stay and talk to her privately. However, the Queen Mother didn't even look at her. She didn't dare to do anything more and had to leave with a grievance.

Lady Song and others who were waiting at the steps heaved a sigh of relief when they saw all the concubines coming out.

But... the atmosphere seems a little strange. What's going on?

Concubine Song's eyes flickered as she excitedly speculated: "The Queen Mother must have used this as an excuse to teach that bitch Xu Lanshan a lesson, right? It had to be, right? How could the Queen Mother not stand up for Concubine Lian?"

Unexpectedly, after leaving the Cining Palace, Concubine Song was pushed hard by someone without noticing. She screamed and fell to the ground. There was a sharp pain in the palm of her hand and the skin was scratched.

Concubine Lian sneered and mocked, "Don't you have eyes? You can even fall down while walking! I think you really don't have eyes, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see who is around you! You deserve this fate today!"

The looks from other people more or less had this meaning.

Lady Song was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

The queen had already left and was too lazy to care about what happened afterwards.

Lian Guipin has the kind of temper that if she doesn't vent her anger, she might cause trouble, so just let her be.

All the concubines left quickly, and Qing He quickly helped Lady Song up, "My Lady Lady..."

Concubine Song's eyes were filled with tears. She raised her hand and slapped Qing He, "Bitch! What do you do? You are so useless! What's the matter? Are you jealous of other palace maids' advancement to higher positions and want to become a phoenix too? Don't you take me, your master, seriously?"

Qing He was so frightened that she quickly knelt down: "This servant did not do that! My beautiful mistress, please spare my life!"

Concubine Song angrily cursed, "Who are you showing this to? Get out of here!"

The emperor said that she was domineering. If the emperor heard that she had scolded Qinghe in public, she would probably never be able to turn things around in her life.

"Yes, yes!" Qing He stood up hurriedly, trembling with fear.

Cining Palace.

After all the concubines left, the Queen Mother sighed softly, looking somewhat troubled and sad.

Nanny Chang stood behind the Empress Dowager, gently patting her shoulders and saying softly, "Your Majesty, are you still worried about Master Lian? In my opinion, Master Lian has always had it easy. It would be good for her to experience some setbacks. Perhaps a little tempering will improve her character. Your Majesty, please use him as a whetstone."

Like Nanny Yan, Nanny Chang looked down on Xu Lanshan because of her humble background.

They also never thought that such people could pose any threat to their masters.
