Pepper Room Palace.
Liu Feng, the eunuch in charge of the flower room, greeted Queen Wang with a smile, "Your Majesty, these are the peonies that the flower room has carefully cultivated. Please enjoy them."
Queen Wang raised her eyes and saw several young eunuchs behind her holding flower pots in their hands. Each pot contained a peony of different colors and shapes, which was magnificent.
She smiled softly and nodded.
Liu Feng flattered them a few more times and then led everyone away.
At this time, a palace maid came to report that Concubine De and Concubine Shu were outside the palace.
Queen Wang sighed softly. She knew that these two people just came to show up and there was not much friendship between them, but she had to deal with them with a smile. It was really a headache.
"Let them in," Queen Wang changed into a comfortable position.
Defei and Shufei came in and saluted Queen Wang according to palace rules.
The two sat down and the palace maids served tea.
"I wonder if the Queen is feeling better?" Concubine De spoke first, then looked at Queen Wang carefully for a few more times and sighed softly, "You don't look well, you look like you've aged ten years."
What are you saying?
Queen Wang held her breath in her chest. It seemed that others cared about her. She was the mother of the country. If she scolded them, it would seem petty and ungenerous.
She calmed herself down and said softly, "I'm fine. The eldest princess is getting married and she and her husband are living in harmony. The eldest prince is also getting married this month. My children are all doing well, so how can I be bad?"
She has both a son and a daughter.
Concubine De had no children.
As expected, Concubine De's face turned cold, she twitched awkwardly, picked up the teacup and drank tea to hide her emotions, "That's good, that's good"
Her eloquence has always been like this, admit it!
Concubine Shu looked around, with a look of obvious confusion on her face, and she acted as if she wanted to speak.
Queen Wang looked at her, frowning slightly, "Shufei, what's wrong?"
Concubine Shu came over with an expression of concern for Queen Wang. "Your Majesty, the peonies are in full bloom, making people feel happy. But, but, I see that all the flowers raised in Concubine Heng's palace are peonies."
"The peony is the king of flowers and has always been compared to the main wife... Oh, of course, as long as the queen likes it, it's fine, even if it's a weed by the roadside."
As soon as these words were spoken, Queen Wang's expression changed. How could that bitch dare to be so blatant?
"Not only that, I also saw peony patterns on Concubine Heng's clothes," Concubine Shu continued.
Queen Wang no longer maintained her composure, her expression darkening as she asked, "Is this true?"
Although there is no regulation, the peony pattern has always been used only by the main wife. Unless the king favors the concubine more than his wife, it is generally not used for concubines.
Without waiting for Concubine Shu to reply, Concubine De put down her teacup and nodded repeatedly at Queen Wang.
Yes, she saw it with her own eyes.
Concubine Shu continued, "Concubine Liang is in charge now, so such a mistake shouldn't happen."
That Concubine Liang was trained by you, Your Majesty.
"Could it be that Concubine Liang, seeing that the Queen is in poor health, is looking for a new backer?" Concubine Shu looked sincere, and it was hard to tell that she was deliberately stabbing Queen Wang in the chest.
Queen Wang, “…”
She's dying? Who's spreading rumors?
Concubine De added, "I think Concubine Liang is too anxious. Even if she wants to find a new backer, she has to wait until the Queen passes away."
How can this be? Queen Wang will be sad!
Concubine Shu looked at Concubine De and sighed, "That's right."
De Fei continued, "See, you think so too. This person is not dead yet..."
When she looked up, she met Queen Wang's cold eyes and trembled with fear.
Did I say something wrong?
Ever since she became obsessed with food, she seldom competed for favor and gradually became less cunning.
Concubine De added innocently, "I am just angry for Your Majesty, not cursing her to die early. At least we have to wait until Your Majesty gets married."
Queen Wang stroked her forehead and said, "You should have some snacks."
She knew that Concubine De was deliberately disgusting her, and she had tried to teach her a lesson, but every time she was treated as stupid and retorted. She was not in a position to argue with Concubine De because of her status as the queen.
Forget it, why bother with a 170-pound foodie? Queen Wang looked at Concubine De and her layers of flesh, and felt better!
This guy is not dangerous, he just has a bad mouth!
