Chapter 64 White Beauty
Over there, as Concubine Yu had just walked outside Chengming Palace, she saw a woman in a red grass dress coming out.
She has a very bright face, as beautiful as an ink painting, with bright eyes and white teeth. Compared with the women in the Central Plains, she has a very high nose bridge and a tall figure. Her every move reveals an otherworldly and exotic style.
The woman saw Yu Fei's steps slowing down and looked at her carefully.
Concubine Yu walked over gracefully, with the corners of her eyes raised, and an air of pride and nobility emerged.
"Are you the White Beauty?"
Lady Bai knew at a glance that the concubine in front of her had ill intentions. Not willing to be outdone, she raised her chin and looked at Concubine Yu's bright face: "Who are you?"
"How dare you! This is the current Queen Jade Concubine. Why don't you bow quickly when you see her?" Ruolan scolded immediately.
Lady Bai looked at the rows of eunuchs and palace maids behind Concubine Yu, curled her lips, and muttered in a low voice: "Look at this posture, I thought it was the queen, but it turned out to be a concubine."
Her murmurs fell sparsely into the ears of Yu Fei, who immediately became angry and asked, "What did you say?"
Lady Bai pretended to be confused, then clasped her hands on her shoulders and bowed, "Then, I pay my respects to the Jade Concubine."
Although the greeting was respectful, it was a grassland etiquette that Yu Fei could not understand.
"Now that Lady Bai has entered the palace, why are you still following the etiquette of your hometown? Where do you place Jing Yuan?"
Her words were sharp, but Lady Bai was not at all frightened. Instead, she said confidently, "The Emperor said that I have been staying in the grasslands and now that I am in the palace, I don't have to follow the rules."
Concubine Yu sneered, her red lips curved in mockery: "Do you know that when I first entered the palace, the emperor also did not allow me to follow the rules."
She slowly circled around the beautiful lady Bai, her long skirt trailing on the ground like a pomegranate flower slowly blooming in the dazzling sunlight, extremely eye-catching.
"When I was in favor, you were still feeding horses on the grassland. Are you worthy of being so proud in front of me?"
Her steps and eyes showed the majesty of a superior.
However, the grassland woman was tall, a full head taller than Concubine Yu, and she also severely suppressed her aura.
Lady Bai was neither anxious nor impatient. Her eyes moved slowly as she chuckled softly, "Are you telling me, Lady Yufei, how many years older are you than me?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yu was instantly furious, her cheeks flushing red. "How dare you, a mere beauty like you, disobey me like this!"
As she spoke, Concubine Yu's eyes flashed with ferocity, and she raised her hand to slap Lady Bai.
Lady Bai has been practicing martial arts since she was young, and she dodged Concubine Yu's slap with her light steps.
Yu Fei missed her attack and fell forward uncontrollably, falling heavily to the ground.
"Your Majesty..." The palace maids couldn't help but exclaimed and hurriedly stepped forward to help Concubine Yu up.
Out of the corner of her eye, Lady Bai saw a bright yellow figure walking out of the palace. She quickly stepped forward, feeling guilty and uneasy as she helped Concubine Yu up. "Your Majesty, I… I didn't expect that my dodging would cause you to fall. If I had known, I should have obediently accepted your slap."
Yu Fei was furious, and after she regained her composure, she raised her hand and slapped Bai Meiren hard in the face.
With a "pop" sound, the hit was accurate, hard, crisp and loud.
"You bitch! Even the Queen has to give way to me when she sees me. Who the hell do you think you are?"
Her hair was slightly loose at this time, and her hairpins were hooked on her temples for a long time without falling down, and her graceful demeanor was completely lost.
Xiao Heng's brows tightened as he looked at her, and he said in a deep voice, "Yu Fei, what are you doing?"
Upon hearing Xiao Heng's voice, Concubine Yu froze. She then stepped forward and said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, this beautiful lady Bai has committed treason and disobeyed me. Please, Your Majesty, help me."
Xiao Heng glanced at Yu Fei calmly, then looked at Bai Meiren, whose cheeks were flushed. "With Yu Fei's aura, do you still need me to make the decision for you?"
"Why, that slap just now wasn't enough to calm Concubine Yu's anger?"
Concubine Yu could understand that his words meant to protect Lady Bai, and her face instantly became a little embarrassed.
Lady Bai quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I grew up on the grasslands and am not as delicate and frail as the ladies in the palace. It was just one slap. If Your Majesty feels it's not enough, you can hit me twice more."
"It's just..." She glanced at Xiao Heng tenderly.
"But could you please not hit me in the face, Empress Yu? After all, my face is for His Majesty to see."
Concubine Yu was so angry that she was stunned. She originally thought that women on the grassland were all arrogant and stupid.
Unexpectedly, this white beauty is so insidious and eloquent.
Just a few words highlighted her magnanimity, but made her appear domineering and unreasonable.
She gritted her teeth and was about to speak when she heard Xiao Heng calmly say, "Alright, Concubine Yu, I've beaten you and scolded you, but your hair is all messed up. You don't look like a fourth concubine at all. Go back to the palace and tidy it up."
Concubine Yu raised her hand to stroke her hair, and then she realized how embarrassed she must be at the moment.
She pursed her lips, looking very innocent: "Yes."
She was about to leave when she heard Xiao Heng's gentle warning: "It's poisonous outside. Be careful not to get a heat stroke. Remember to drink a bowl of mung bean soup to cool down after returning to the palace."
Seeing that Xiao Heng still cared about her, Concubine Yu's brows relaxed slightly, and she looked at Xiao Heng with a smile: "The emperor is the same."
After saying that, she turned around and glanced at Bai Meiren with a cold look.
Bai Meiren looked at her calmly, without a trace of fear on her face.
She grew up on horseback and was not afraid of swords or knives. How could she be afraid of such a pretentious woman?
"Bai Meiren, you should go back to the palace too." Xiao Heng said lightly.
Seeing that the emperor did not offer any comfort to her, a trace of disappointment flashed in Bai Meiren's eyes.
But after a moment, she smiled, knelt down and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."
She won her first battle after entering the palace.
Before entering the palace, her cousin the prince told her that the Jade Concubine in the palace was very favored and domineering.
But right now, it seems like that's all...
Just now, the emperor was still protecting himself.
After Xiao Heng sat down on the dragon throne, he couldn't help but chuckle when he thought of Concubine Yu's angry look and how she had fallen down.
Seeing this, Zhou Defu also smiled happily.
Xiao Heng looked at him: "What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Defu's mouth curled up, but his eyes narrowed as he said, "I am happy to see that the emperor is happy."
"You little dog slave."
Although Xiao Heng cursed, his face was full of joy and he called out in a very cordial manner.
So Zhou Defu plucked up the courage to ask, "Then what are you laughing at, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Heng picked up the teacup beside him and slowly skimmed off the foam with the lid.
"Don't you think that play just now was quite entertaining?"
Zhou Defu's face was filled with a flattering smile: "Your servant... Your servant only saw that the Jade Concubine suffered a great loss."
Xiao Heng took a sip of tea slowly before saying, "Yes, there are few women in the harem who can make Concubine Yu so angry."
"This white beauty... is quite interesting. It would be nice to keep her in the harem as a little bird to amuse herself."
The main thing is that Concubine Yu just said such inappropriate words at the gate of Chengguang Palace, and she deserves to be punished.
Even if he had no love for the Queen, she was still the Empress Dowager, his legally married wife, and he respected her. How could he allow a concubine to look down on her?
He hates people who have no sense of propriety and overstep their bounds the most.
Thinking of this, Xiao Heng picked up the bird-teasing stick and teased the purple shadow standing on the table.
"Ziying, see? They are not as obedient as you."
Ziying seemed to understand and raised her head and called out twice.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
