Chapter 426: Testing Step by Step
Seeing the Imperial Concubine quietly walk into Guangming Palace, Xianglan gently tugged at Yuanzhi's sleeve and said, "Sister, this Imperial Concubine is really strange."
Yuanzhi smiled and said, "What's so strange about that? It's just that I don't like the person inside, and I don't have any ambitions. I just want to live a stable life."
Xianglan curled her lips in disdain: "I don't believe she is such a non-competitive person, she must be pretending."
"Xianglan, what did I teach you in the past?"
Seeing Yuanzhi's serious expression, Xianglan realized that she had said the wrong thing: "Sister, I won't do it again next time."
"Let's go too."
Watching the two noble concubines leave, the smile on Cai Quan's face faded a little. Now that Princess Fengyi and Prince Consort Baili were here, he was afraid that some people would never be able to be proud again.
In Guangming Palace, the Imperial Concubine politely bowed to Emperor Jing of Wei and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."
Emperor Jing of Wei pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Please sit down."
As soon as the Imperial Concubine sat down, she heard Emperor Jing of Wei continue to speak: "Tomorrow Fengyi and the Prince Consort will enter the palace. Remember to ask them what happened in Xixia then."
The Imperial Concubine did not agree immediately: "Your Majesty, you are the father of the Duke of Fengyi. It is natural for you to care about the Duke. Why do you need me to do this? What's more, I am not familiar with the Duke of Fengyi. If I ask you this suddenly, I am afraid that the Duke will not want to say it."
Emperor Jing of Wei was a little impatient: "Just do whatever I tell you to do."
The Imperial Concubine stood up and knelt before Emperor Jing of Wei: "It is my fault. Your Majesty has ordered me to do so, and I should not refuse."
Hearing what the Imperial Concubine said, Emperor Jing of Wei reached out his hand again and helped her stand up: "Imperial Concubine, I know that you are a thoughtful person in your daily life, but there are some things you just need to listen to me."
"I understand."
Emperor Jing of Wei specially asked someone to invite the Imperial Noble Consort to come here just for this matter. Seeing that she had agreed, Emperor Jing of Wei was relieved and then talked about the two concubines: "Yuan'er and Xiang'er are used to being free outside the palace, and I don't want to restrict them. As the Imperial Noble Consort, you should take more responsibility for anything that happens. Don't stay in the palace all day, and share more of my worries."
After entering the palace, Yuanzhi and Xianglan were favored by the emperor. Yuanzhi was better off, but Xianglan offended everyone in the harem. Many concubines came to Emperor Jing of Wei to complain in various ways.
Emperor Jing of Wei was unwilling to deal with Yuanzhi and Xianglan, so he asked the Imperial Noble Consort to appease everyone in the harem.
The Imperial Noble Consort understood what Emperor Jing of Wei meant: "Your Majesty, I am one of the people in the harem, so naturally I won't say anything more. But tomorrow the Duke and his wife will enter the palace, and I am worried that the two noble concubines will offend the Duke and cause some unpleasantness."
"Su Chenyu is my daughter, and she dares to put her hands in my harem?"
After hearing what Emperor Jing of Wei said, the Imperial Noble Consort said nothing more and immediately took her leave.
The next day, Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing went to the palace to meet the emperor early in the morning. When they arrived, the Imperial Concubine was having breakfast with Emperor Jing of Wei.
"Since you are here, please sit down and have breakfast together." Emperor Jing of Wei gestured to Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing to sit down and have breakfast together. The two of them sat down as Emperor Jing of Wei said.
Su Chenyu got up early today, and before entering the palace, she only ate a few pieces of cakes to fill her stomach. Now she was really hungry, so she didn't hesitate and started eating.
