Concubine Xian was playing with Yu Yiluo in Zuihua Palace when she heard the laughter of Concubine Shu and Concubine De coming in from the door.
"Sister Xianfei guessed it right. Concubine Shu really summoned Sister Roupin to her palace. I think Sister Roupin will come over soon."
Although Yu Yiluo cannot walk yet, she loves crawling on carpets very much. The floor of Concubine Xian's bedroom is covered with fine carpets, allowing her to crawl happily on them.
Hearing the two people's voices, Yu Yiluo raised her head and stared at the two people approaching her with her big black eyes.
[I think Concubine Shu asked Aunt Rou to come over to test her. I wonder if Aunt Rou can fool her.]
"Luo'er, come here, Auntie."
Concubine Shu squatted down and opened her arms to signal Yu Yiluo to come over and let her hug her.
"Luo'er, auntie has a beautiful hairpin here."
Concubine De also squatted down, took off the butterfly hairpin on her head and held it in her hand.
Yu Yiluo, who was originally worried about who to choose, immediately used his hands and feet to crawl towards Concubine De, and his speed was extremely fast.
"Okay, sister Defei, why are you cheating?"
[Aunt Shufei, don't be too sad. I still love you.]
She crawled in front of Concubine De. Not wanting to show that it was because of the gold hairpin, Yu Yiluo first threw herself into Concubine De's arms, kissed her on the face, and then stared at the gold hairpin in her hand.
Defei was so happy with the kiss that she kissed her soft little face back.
Worried that the hairpin would prick her, he did not give it to her, but gave it to Concubine Xian.
"Sister Concubine Xian, Luo'er will definitely be vain when she grows up."
Empress Xian chuckled. Luo'er was not being conceited at all. It was obviously because the hairpin was made of gold.
"Look at Luo'er, she's already this tall at just over half a year old. She'll definitely have a great figure when she grows up."
Concubine Shu pretended to be sad as she spoke, "It's just that Xiao Luo'er doesn't want her anymore, and I'm so sad."
De Fei was a little amused and said, "Sister Shu Fei, please don't act in front of Luo Er."
Yu Yiluo sighed in her heart, looked at Concubine Shu's exaggerated acting skills, came out of Concubine De's arms and crawled towards her, held her face with both hands and kissed her, then looked at Concubine Shu with a smile.
【Isn’t it sad now?】
Concubine Shu picked her up and walked to the chair and sat down, "Little Luo'er is so cute."
At this time, Concubine Rou came in from the door with her skirt lifted.
"My dear sisters, Sister Xianfei is truly amazing."
She came in and greeted the others, then sat down and said excitedly, "That damn old woman really did ask me to go to her palace to test me."
That was a real test. Compared with Concubine Chen's test and Concubine Shu's, it was simply ridiculous.
Concubine Xian curled her lips slightly, "Looking at Sister Roupin like this, I think she has managed it."
Concubine Rou giggled and blinked.
"Sister Xianfei's method worked. I was very nervous when I went in, but when I thought of Concubine Huang...that person, I felt only anger and no guilt."
Seeing that Yu Yiluo was there, the bitch that was about to reach her lips was swallowed back by Concubine Rou.
Don't lead the little princess astray.
"So, Concubine Xian taught you how to deal with it," Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief. "Concubine Shu and I were wondering if you could handle it."
"So what do we do next?"
Concubine Xian glanced at Concubine Rou and said, "Then wait for Concubine Huang to start her action. As for Concubine Shu, you can continue."
"That Concubine Shu seems to be very annoying to me."
"It's just right that I'm bothering you," Concubine Shu pinched Yu Yiluo's soft little hand and played with it. "That damn wife may not really believe your performance today, so you have to continue to dispel her doubts."
Concubine Rou nodded, "But if that's the case, then Concubine Shu won't take action?"
"The Shu Concubine would never actually take action," Concubine Xian said with great confidence. "If this matter continues to ferment, we will be implicated, but we may not be severely punished. The Shu Concubine knows this very well."
"Whether in the court or the harem, there are only two kinds of people: those the emperor wants to protect, and those he wants to kill. If you want to get rid of us, you must first destroy the umbrella of protection behind us. Concubine Shu must have a backup plan."
The three of them looked solemn when they heard this.
[Mother is smart. Concubine Shu wants to get rid of the Marquis' Mansion but failed. She has been silent for so long. She must be planning something.]
…
In the next few days, Concubine Rou listened to a few people and often went to Concubine Shu.
Everyone in the harem thought that there was a rift between Concubine Rou and the three concubines, so they turned to please Concubine Shu. Only Concubine Shu knew that Concubine Rou was not trying to please her, but to torture her.
Her ears to be exact.
She had never seen anyone talk so much, asking questions about everything, like a fly.
Before, she was still suspicious about the relationship between Concubine Rou and Imperial Physician Lin, but Concubine Rou had been with her these past few days, and Imperial Physician Lin came to take her pulse every day, so she couldn't see anything fishy going on between the two of them.
With Concubine Rou's brain, she definitely couldn't be so foolproof, so it only meant that there was nothing going on between the two of them.
"Toffee, do you think I'm noisy?"
Concubine Rou looked at Concubine Shu who was leaning on the couch with a shy look on her face.
"No one usually listens to me, so I can't help but talk more when I'm here with you."
Lu'er rolled her eyes. Is this a problem of talking too much?
He is such a chatterbox. I have never seen anyone who talks so much.
"It's okay. You young people are full of energy and vitality. It's just that I'm old."
Concubine Rou quickly waved her hands, "You don't look old at all, you don't even look sixty."
"The Toffee is not sixty to begin with."
When Lu'er glared at her, Concubine Rou was extremely surprised.
Was she flattering the horse but hitting the horse's hoof? But Concubine Shu didn't look like she was in her fifties at all, and she still thought she was quite good at talking.
"You go back."
Concubine Shu was too lazy to pursue the matter any further. After Lu'er sent Concubine Rou out, she stood up from the couch, stood by the window and looked outside, only to see Concubine Huang and Lu'er walk in.
"My Lady, Lady Huang is here to see you."
Concubine Huang thought of Concubine Rou's smug look just now, and she was so angry that her teeth were almost broken.
"I greet the Concubine Dowager."
Concubine Shu turned around and looked at Lady Huang, "Please sit down."
Concubine Huang was puzzled. She had clearly said that last time and didn't believe that Concubine Shu couldn't understand the meaning of her words.
"Thank you, Dowager Concubine," Concubine Huang said softly as she sat down on the chair. "I just saw Concubine Rou leave from here. If Dowager Concubine wants to find someone to entertain her, I have plenty of time."
Concubine Shu smiled faintly, "Princess Rou has been coming to my place quite often these past few days, saying that she can talk to me and save Doctor Lin from having to make extra trips. This girl is really thoughtful."
Lu'er was puzzled. The Concubine Dowager was obviously annoyed by Concubine Rou's nagging, so why was she praising her now?
"Empress Roupin is indeed thoughtful," Concubine Huang lowered her eyes and stood up, "Then I will not disturb you anymore. I will come and talk to the Concubine Dowager another day."
After leaving Concubine Shu's bedroom, Concubine Huang returned to her own bedroom and took out paper and pen. After writing the content, she rolled up the paper and handed it to her personal maid.
"Send this thing to Concubine Rou's room secretly, and don't let anyone find out."
She just didn't believe that the bitch Roupin was really innocent.
