Eunuch Gu's expression was quite speechless: "I heard that several martial arts training poles have been chopped off in the yard. You also know that Empress Shu Fei is in a bad mood and likes to vent. I have ordered people to send two carts of martial arts training poles... If it continues like this..."
The emperor's eyebrows jumped, and he sighed heavily, "If this continues, why not send Concubine Shu to the firewood room to help me chop two carts of firewood, what do you think?"
Eunuch grinned, but before he could say anything, a girl came in with big strides, her hands behind her back, followed by a gust of wind and a strong momentum.
Her face was cold and her features seemed more relaxed than those of ordinary girls, with a little bit of dignity but less glamour, appearing a little dull.
Qiao Yuange stood behind the emperor, looking at Concubine Shu carefully.
It turns out that Shu Fei has some connection with the original body. After all, it was the original body who accidentally washed Shu Fei's handkerchief and was severely beaten.
Naturally, this old account could not be blamed on Concubine Shu, so Qiao Yuange did not have any feelings towards Concubine Shu.
Seeing Shu Fei rushing in, the emperor immediately sat up straight and forced a smile on his face: "Shu Fei, what is the matter with you coming here this time? Or is it that your martial arts training pole is not strong enough?"
The Concubine Shu seemed to be used to the Emperor's teasing. She bowed slightly as a greeting and said, "Your Majesty, I came here to seek justice from you. The handkerchief I sent to the laundry was damaged by a maid. I wanted to settle the score with that maid, but I heard that she was taken away by the Empress Dowager. What do you think?"
The emperor coughed lightly, and suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Qiao Yuange, who was standing at the back, with no way to retreat, and had to lower his head, wishing he could disappear immediately, and pushed him forward, saying nonchalantly: "Here, you are, it's up to you how you want to punish me."
Oh my god!
Qiao Yuange thought to herself that the emperor was really petty. How could he be so carefree that he would actually focus on a little maid like her? How could she be so worthy that the great Concubine Shu would personally ask about her?
It's just a handkerchief, how could it be bordered with gold?
Shu Fei opened her mouth in surprise.
She was really puzzled. It was fine if the maid had damaged the handkerchief, and there was a reason why she was taken away by the empress dowager. But why was she actually by the emperor's side? Could it be that this maid had an extraordinary identity?
Shu Fei raised her eyes and looked at Qiao Yuange. She saw that this girl was pretty and clean, with extremely beautiful features. It was really impossible to find another person as beautiful as her in the palace.
If we say that Shu Fei grew up in the capital, although her father was a military general, he naturally did not raise Shu Fei to be as gentle and dignified as those little girls, but she had indeed seen some of the world.
When he saw Qiao Yuange at this time, he found that even though she was wearing the clothes of a palace maid, she still couldn't hide her stunning face.
After just a moment, Shu Fei calmed down, but she also had doubts in her heart. Could it be that the empress dowager saw that this palace maid was beautiful and sent her to the emperor, which made the emperor have feelings for her?
——After all, although the emperor has several concubines, he never lifts a finger towards them. They treat each other with respect on weekdays and are polite to each other when they meet.
It's as if all worldly desires are gone.
Those concubines were quite honest. Since the emperor treated them equally and did not show any improper behavior towards any of them, there was no need for them to be jealous.
Furthermore, the emperor has a problematic mentality to begin with. If he is pushed into a corner, he can be seen by a lake the next day, making a fuss and dreaming of jumping into the river instead of facing this terrible thing.
As time went on, naturally some gossip began to spread in the palace, mostly about the emperor getting closer to a certain prince, having a long talk with a certain general by candlelight, or laughing and chatting with a certain young minister.
The Empress Dowager was naturally anxious. Although she did not say it out loud, she still hinted at it. She believed that it must be because these concubines were not good-looking and had no charm to win the heart of the Emperor, so it was normal for them to take other actions.
Shu Fei was originally furious and wanted to see which palace maid could have such a grand ceremony and even have the support of the empress dowager. However, when Ruo saw that this girl was still beside the emperor, the anger in her heart was half extinguished at this moment.
"Since it was sent by the Empress Dowager, I can only suffer this loss in silence?" Shu Fei glanced at Qiao Yuange. When Qiao Yuange raised his eyes, he saw that there was a bit more resentment in Shu Fei's eyes - it seems that this handkerchief is really very important to Shu Fei.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's okay. She is my personal maid. If you want to vent your anger, you can beat her or punish her as you like."
These words seemed to touch Shu Fei's heart, and there was a hint of doting in them, which made Shu Fei very happy. She stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Yuange's ear, grinning and saying, "Little thing, do you know how important this handkerchief of mine is? You actually ruined it by washing it? Come here!"
Qiao Yuange's ears were pulled red, and Shu Fei carried him out of the door and went all the way to her yard.
The eunuch saw Qiao Yuange, who was very tall but hunched over, being carried out like a chicken, and he felt quite uncomfortable. He turned around and saw the emperor taking a sip of tea and exclaiming in admiration.
"Ah, the tea sent by King Liang this time tastes good. I will meet him some other day and thank him in person."
The words of the eunuch wandered in his mouth for a few times, and finally he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, after all, Qiao girl was sent by the Empress Dowager. If she was punished by Concubine Shu, it would be difficult to explain to the Empress Dowager..."
The emperor put away his nonchalant expression, and his voice suddenly turned cold: "Why is it so hard to explain? Even if you put your spy in front of me, do you really think I can treat that woman well? What a joke, I will let the Queen Mother know, and I know exactly what she is thinking!"
"But..." Eunuch wanted to open his mouth to defend Qiao Yuange. Who would want to do such a thankless task? When you are in the palace, you have no choice!
But when the words came to my lips, I never said them.
Shu Fei's courtyard was some distance away from Taixing Palace. Shu Fei's physical fitness was really good. She carried Qiao Yuange all the way to the courtyard. As soon as she let go, she pushed Qiao Yuange to the ground, with her hands on her waist.
Qiao Yuange's ears were already numb, and he was pushed onto a pile of broken martial arts training stakes, which hurt his butt.
According to the original body's memory, Shu Fei's father was a great general who had fought in hundreds of battles and made great achievements. He had an arrogant and domineering personality. His daughter had always been arrogant in the palace and had a hot temper. If something went wrong, she would vent her anger by practicing martial arts.
