When Xu Chuchu heard the palace maid report that Lin Xiaoxiang was coming, Xu Chuchu was rejected in her heart. In her current state, she really didn't want to see someone who didn't get along with her.
What's more, the person who came to see her was the sister of the person who made her speechless, so she was even more reluctant. But no matter what, everyone who comes is a guest, and she has always attached great importance to etiquette. At this moment, since the person came to the gate of her palace, she naturally could not close the door and refuse to see him, nor could she drive him out.
Helpless, Xu Chuchu had to have Lin Xiaoxiang brought into the living room, and then she also came out to greet the guests, but she could not speak, she just looked at Lin Xiaoxiang and smiled slightly.
Thinking that one should not hit a smiling person, even if he did not want Lin Xiaoxiang to be a guest in his palace, he had to give the host face.
What she didn't expect was that although her side treated people with great courtesy, Lin Xiaoxiang looked at her with a mocking smile.
"It's so pitiful. Concubine Xu really looked good, but now she can't speak. It's such a waste of her good looks." Lin Xiaoxiang took a sip of the tea beside her and said.
Although her position is not as high as Xu Chuchu's now, even if she mocked Xu Chuchu here, Xu Chuchu would not be able to say anything and could only get angry in vain.
Sure enough, after hearing Lin Xiaoxiang say this, Xu Chuchu's face instantly became a little ugly, and her eyes stared straight at Lin Xiaoxiang, as if she wanted to stare two holes out of her body.
"Oh, what does Concubine Xu mean by this? You are staring at me with your eyes, which makes me so scared. But I am doing this for your sake. Why doesn't Concubine Xu know how to appreciate kindness?" Lin Xiaoxiang said in surprise.
Looking at the disgusting Lin Xiaoxiang, Xu Chuchu wanted to stand up and slap her twice, and then tell her to get out.
In fact, she did stand up at this moment, staring at Lin Xiaoxiang with her eyes wide open and fierce, but Lin Xiaoxiang still did not show any fear.
What kind of threat could a mute who couldn't speak pose to her? At this moment, in Lin Xiaoxiang's heart, she was the emperor's most beloved concubine. For this mute, wouldn't she be able to kill him at will?
"Ahhh." Xu Chuchu was so angry that even though she couldn't speak, she still opened her mouth and made sounds, as if she was scolding Lin Xiaoxiang.
Lin Xiaoxiang could naturally see that she had deliberately said this in front of Xu Chuchu today, wanting to make her angry, and then she would look at her like a clown.
A mere mute wants to be favored by the emperor, without even realizing who he is.
She seemed to find it a bit boring. She had already made Xu Chuchu very angry, so she didn't want to watch Xu Chuchu's performance at this moment. She said, "I didn't expect that Concubine Xu was still so hot-tempered even though she became mute. But, what's the point of you being like this now? When you were harmed by others, you had to keep your tail between your legs. Otherwise, how could you end up like this, hahaha."
This matter was a pain in Xu Chuchu's heart. No one regretted it more than her. Why did she frame others in the first place, and ended up in what she is now?
It would have been fine if no one mentioned this matter, but now Lin Xiaoxiang not only brought it up, but also used it to mock and provoke her, which made Xu Chuchu unbearable.
Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and Xu Chuchu just wanted to rush forward and punch the laughing Lin Xiaoxiang. The anger in her heart grew stronger and stronger. Although Xu Chuchu did not rush forward to fight Lin Xiaoxiang, she directly grabbed a teacup and threw it in Lin Xiaoxiang's direction.
With a snap, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
It’s not that Xu Chuchu’s aim was bad, but Lin Xiaoxiang had been paying attention to Xu Chuchu. When she saw Xu Chuchu make any move, she immediately dodged away.
"How dare you attack me? Who do you think you are?" Lin Xiaoxiang was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one dared to treat her like that, so she became a little angry for a moment.
When Xu Chuchu heard her say this, she didn't care about her status and etiquette, and rushed to her side, wanting to fight with her. However, there were countless palace maids around the two of them. When they saw them make any move, they immediately rushed forward and put out the war before it even started.
"What is that? Wait a minute, this matter won't end like this." After being stopped by the palace maid, Lin Xiaoxiang scolded Xu Chuchu angrily.
Thinking that she was once the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was almost beaten by a mute, a feeling of humiliation immediately filled Lin Xiaoxiang's heart.
"How dare they! They were daughters of ministers before, and now they are the emperor's concubines. How dare they do such a thing in the harem." The Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel furious when she learned that Lin Xiaoxiang and Xu Chuchu almost caused a big fight in the harem.
In her heart, the daughters of ministers were the most well-educated and polite, especially in terms of etiquette, which was naturally impeccable. But now they both became the emperor's concubines, and both were extremely noble women in this country. But these two women actually almost had a shameless fight in the harem. Where did she put the face of her royal family?
However, she did not think that all this was the fault of Lin Xiaoxiang and Xu Chuchu. In her heart, Su Mengyan was even more wrong.
One reason is that they are both daughters of ministers and are very good at etiquette, so the Empress Dowager felt that if these two women could make such a big move, then the matter must be very serious.
The second reason is that they are both the emperor's concubines, and Su Mengyan, as the head of the harem, is unable to share the emperor's worries and resolve the conflict between the two concubines, which gives the two concubines the opportunity to make a big move. So this matter is largely Su Mengyan's problem.
"This queen should be taught a lesson so that she can take charge of the harem for the emperor. If she doesn't have this ability, I don't mind letting the emperor find someone else. If the queen can't help the emperor solve his problems, then what's the point of having her?" The Empress Dowager was feudal in her thinking. In her heart, the emperor was the sky, and as a woman, she should help her husband solve his problems.
Especially in the past, she had disliked Su Mengyan, so when this problem arose at this moment, she did not give Su Mengyan any face.
Su Mengyan was dissatisfied with being accused of such a serious crime by the Grand Empress Dowager for no reason, but in this society, filial piety is more important than anything else, so she could only tell the Grand Empress Dowager that she would take good care of the harem in the future, handle all matters in the harem, and help the emperor solve his problems.
