The woman following behind saw that the palace maid had stopped and her steps gradually slowed down. When she walked over, she saw that it was the emperor and Qiao Yuange sitting there.
The woman behind him is Shu Fei.
This scene really left Shu Fei puzzled.
She didn't understand how Qiao Yuange could respond. She had been in the palace for quite some time, but she had never seen a maid so lucky. First, she was favored by the empress dowager, and now she was so close to the emperor.
She should have realized it long ago. Why did the emperor seem so familiar with Qiao Yuange when she went to ask for someone?
When will the emperor know the maid's name?
But the emperor knew Qiao Yuange very well. When he asked her to take Qiao Yuange away, she thought that the emperor could not stand the surveillance of the empress dowager. Now, thinking about it, it was actually the emperor's doting on Qiao Yuange, as if... he was teasing Qiao Yuange.
Shu Fei didn't have time to think about it, so she hurried over, took a breath, knelt on the ground, bowed her head and saluted, then carefully looked at the emperor - and Qiao Yuange beside him.
Of course Qiao Yuange also had to greet Shu Fei. When she met Shu Fei's eyes, for some reason, Shu Fei glared at her fiercely.
When the emperor saw Shu Fei, his relaxed mood seemed to disappear. He sighed and said, "What did your maid say just now? Did Master Wen write you a letter?"
When the maid kneeling in front heard this, her heart almost jumped out, as if it was about to explode. She broke out in layers of cold sweat, and in the blink of an eye, her thick clothes were soaked.
Shu Fei didn't expect that the emperor would hear what she said?
After all, the emperor is not deaf or blind. It would be strange if the emperor could not hear her maid speaking loudly and proudly.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you heard it wrong." Shu Fei's heart was about to jump out of her throat, but she remained calm. She bit the tip of her tongue and forced herself to calm down.
I thought the emperor would keep asking questions, but he stood up quickly and said to Qiao Yuange who was puzzled, "Get up, let's go back to the palace. We still have some things to do."
Qiao Yuange was not stupid, and he understood what had happened almost instantly. However, he did not dare to think too much about it. He quickly stood up, tidied the emperor's clothes, and followed the emperor to the direction of Taixing Palace.
Shu Fei and the maid were left where they were. When the maid saw the emperor walking away, she quickly reached out to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead, took a breath, turned to Shu Fei and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor should..."
Shu Fei just frowned and said to the maid in a low voice: "Your Majesty heard it very clearly, but it doesn't matter."
"Why doesn't he care? Does His Majesty really want to die? So no matter what the situation is, His Majesty doesn't care anymore?"
The maidservant didn't understand. After all, Shu Fei was the emperor's woman. If the emperor heard the name of another man from Shu Fei's mouth, why didn't he react at all?
What a broad mind and courage this is!
But the maid felt that the emperor was not indifferent, he was just waiting for a suitable opportunity. When the emperor could no longer tolerate it, he would reveal all these things!
Concubine Shu's expression became more and more unsightly. She pointed at Qiao Yuange who was behind the emperor and said, "Does she... have any relationship with the emperor?"
The maid broke out in a cold sweat, and shuddered when the wind blew. "If she is really the niece of Concubine Qiao, then maybe the emperor will look up to her, right?"
"Impossible! Concubine Qiao and the Emperor's mother don't have a good relationship. The Emperor can't be unaware of this. How could he possibly think highly of Qiao Yuange?"
"Because when Concubine Qiao was alive, she and the Queen Mother excluded the Emperor's mother, which led to her death. It was also because of this that Xiao Yuli has been wandering outside the palace for many years."
Shu Fei said slowly.
Xiao Yuli is the son of Concubine Qiao, and also the cousin of Qiao Yuange mentioned by Xiao Liang that Qiao Yuange met that day.
The late emperor had few children, three sons and one daughter, namely Xiao Yuli, the son of Concubine Qiao, Xiao Liang, the son of Concubine An, and the emperor.
As the only daughter of the late emperor, she was born to the empress dowager and was named Xiao Taiping.
Although she was of noble status, her character was a bit eccentric. She went out all day and got into trouble. The empress dowager was at a loss as to what to do with her, so she sent her to the National Temple to cultivate her character and told her to come back when she reached the age of 15, which was getting closer and closer.
If the emperor knew Qiao Yuange's background, he would never be nice to Qiao Yuange again.
But the maid said, "Is the emperor only attracted by Qiao Yuange's beauty?"
Shu Fei paused. The maid's words were like a needle that pierced Shu Fei's heart, making her feel as if her tail was stepped on.
Although the Queen Mother and the Emperor have always been at odds, she is firmly committed to the Emperor's offspring, and she wants the Emperor to prepare for the royal family as soon as possible, so she is particularly fond of the Emperor's concubines, hoping that they can bear children. However, they cannot reproduce without sex, so the Emperor still needs to help!
The Queen Mother saw that the concubines were not pregnant, and instead of trying to persuade the Emperor to be less celibate, she thought that these concubines must be ugly and could not arouse the Emperor's desire to have children.
Is it true that Shu Fei is not as pretty as Qiao Yuange?
Seeing that Concubine Shu was just standing there, the maid walked up to her and said to her in a soothing tone, "Your Highness, the Emperor may just be teasing Qiao Yuange. After all, Qiao Yuange has already openly stated that she is the Empress Dowager's spy. If that's the case, how can the Emperor treat her well?"
"Besides, you don't like the emperor anyway. You are broad-minded and naturally don't mind if the emperor treats any girl well...right?"
After the maid said this, she looked at Shu Fei's expression and knew that she was wrong! Shu Fei was really very angry, and it was obvious that she was jealous.
How could that be?
Doesn't Shu Fei dislike the emperor? Why would she be jealous?
Shu Fei gritted her teeth, suppressed her sudden jealousy, and said in a cold voice: "We can't let Qiao Yuange be so arrogant. She broke the handkerchief that Master Wen gave me, and she will pay the price! I want to let the emperor know that they are old enemies! Qiao Yuange is not worthy of being looked up to by the emperor!"
There was anger and malice in Shu Fei's tone, but the maid heard it and carefully concealed her feelings...jealousy!
