Chapter 79 Pei Tingyue, are you trying to please me?
Pei Tingyue's eyes narrowed and he walked straight towards him.
"This concubine greets Her Majesty Liang Fei."
Concubine Shen Liang naturally saw her as well. Seeing her coming over, Rongrong smiled and said, "So it's Concubine Pei. Are you here to see the emperor too?"
Pei Tingyue explained: "I made some cakes and wanted His Majesty to try them."
"Jieyu Pei is thoughtful." Concubine Shen Liang praised her, and then said, "Jieyu Pei, why don't you give me the cakes? I will bring them in for you."
The moment she saw Concubine Shen Liang, Pei Tingyue knew that she would not be able to see the emperor, but she would rather be taken back than let Concubine Shen Liang take her in.
The thing she had worked so hard to make could not become a tool for Concubine Shen Liang to be "jealous" or "take the opportunity to act coquettishly".
So she decisively refused: "I will not trouble your Majesty Liang Fei."
Before Concubine Shen Liang could say anything, her maid Yuling scolded her, "Our queen is kind enough to help you, how could Concubine Pei be so ungrateful?"
Pei Tingyue insisted in a low voice: "I want to give it to the emperor personally."
After a night, Concubine Shen Liang had figured it out. On the contrary, the emperor didn't care about Concubine Pei. If Concubine Pei could retreat when she saw the difficulty and stop jumping around in front of her so often, she wouldn't have to be so hard on her. But she didn't expect that Concubine Pei would be so ungrateful.
She gave Yuling a subtle look, and she understood immediately.
Yuling stepped forward and grabbed the food box: "Our queen is here, and Concubine Pei will not be able to see the emperor. It is better for our queen to take it in, so that the emperor will not miss Concubine Pei's kindness."
Pei Tingyue lowered his eyes.
My hand hurt from fighting over the food box just now, and when I opened my palm, it was indeed red.
An elusive coldness crossed her face.
Seeing her silence, Yuling did not retreat, but instead moved closer to Pei Tingyue: "Pei Jieyu, have you ever heard of the phrase 'mixing pearls with fish eyes'?"
Pei Tingyue looked up at her.
Yuling said with a smile: "In the past, the emperor mistook the fish eye for a pearl and pampered it. Now that the real rare treasure has appeared, the fish eye has naturally revealed its true color. How could the emperor continue to pamper it? Concubine Pei, don't you think so?"
Pei Tingyue laughed angrily.
This Concubine Shen Liang was really rude, openly allowing people to mock her.
how?
Is it because he thinks she is not worthy of his attention at all and looks down on her, so he doesn't even bother to use any tricks and just suppresses her directly?
It's really naked and undisguised contempt.
Originally, Pei Tingyue thought that no matter how she and Shen Liangfei argued in private, at least they could look good on the surface.
But since Concubine Shen Liang was so ruthless first, why should she pretend anymore?
Pei Tingyue looked at Concubine Shen Liang deeply, bowed slightly, and then withdrew.
After staring at her back for a long time, Concubine Shen Liang retracted her gaze and said, "Let's go in."

It was not until the afternoon that Concubine Shen Liang left Chengming Palace.
After the others left, Xie Chen raised his head from the desk and stared quietly at the untouched plate of Poria cocos and lotus seed cake on the table.
When Liang Yao came in to serve tea, he saw his absent-minded look and understood what was going on.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
Xie Chen looked away: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Liang Yao bowed and said, "Actually, everyone has their own taste. Concubine Liang said this dessert has the bitter taste of Poria cocos, but perhaps Your Majesty will enjoy the sweetness of lotus seeds. Why not try it yourself? It won't be a waste of Concubine Pei's kindness."
Xie Chen's words seemed to have a deep meaning: "If I taste it, I will drag her into this mess. It's better to wait until these things are settled before I eat this plate of cake."
Liang Yao laughed and retorted, "But Concubine Pei is in the harem. Even if she's not in this muddy water, she's in another muddy water. This is unavoidable. What's more, Your Majesty knows Concubine Pei's temper. If you ignore her for a while, I'm afraid she will be heartbroken."
Xie Chen thought of the woman's delicate appearance.
After sitting there for a long time, he slowly picked up a piece of lotus seed cake and put it into his mouth.
The taste is exceptionally good, soft and sticky in the mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.
Seeing him eat, Liang Yao couldn't help but smile, and then he said to himself: "I just met Concubine Pei earlier. In order to deliver this plate of cakes to the emperor, she walked all the way here in the scorching sun, but she didn't even see the emperor. It's really pitiful. This time, I asked them to find a sedan chair to save Concubine Pei from being tired and hot."
Xie Chen ate the cakes without saying a word.
The smile on Liang Yao's face became brighter.
He felt that he could get back the monthly salary that was deducted from him for a year.
He turned around and ordered his men to prepare the sedan chair, and did not forget to instruct: "Pei Jieyu is afraid of heat, put a small ice container inside."
Not long.
Pei Tingyue was brought here.
She was wearing an apricot-colored skirt and a pearl and jade hairpin in her hair. She did not wear heavy makeup, only a thin layer of powder on her face, which made her look bright and fresh.
"Your Majesty, may your majesty live in peace and happiness."
Xie Chen was a little dazed when he saw her.
It's only been one day since we last saw each other, but it feels like I haven't seen her for a long time.
He knocked on the table and said, "Get up and grind ink for me."
Pei Tingyue responded: "Yes."
She walked to the table in an orderly manner, rolled up her sleeves, and swirled the ink stick in the inkstone.
She stood very straight and her eyes were not looking around.
But Xie Chen was a little uncomfortable.
On weekdays, the woman was lazy while grinding ink for him. After grinding for a while, she would get impatient and go to read or ask him for marriage. So most of the time, he had to do it himself.
Xie Chen had not expected her performance today.
He originally thought that she would sit on his lap in a coquettish manner, ask him if he had eaten the cakes, ask him if they were delicious, say that she was very tired, tired from making the cakes and tired from walking over, and finally put her arm around his neck and ask him to kiss her.
But she did not do any of these. She just stood there quietly grinding ink.
Xie Chen's face turned cold, but he didn't say anything.
She was well-behaved throughout the entire afternoon. She would grind the ink on time, bring tea to him personally, and frequently pick up food for him during meals.
Xie Chen looked at the food on the plate, anger rising uncontrollably in his heart.
When the moon had set and they had taken a bath, Xie Chen grabbed her wrist, strode into the bedroom, and threw her hard onto the bed.
There was a moment of confusion in the woman's eyes, and then it disappeared. She stood up, smiled sweetly at him, and undressed.
Xie Chen's anger reached its peak at this moment.
He sneered and walked forward to put down the gold-woven tent.
He tormented the person under him fiercely. The woman could not resist the teasing, and her body, face and the corners of her eyes turned extremely red, and her whole body was trembling.
She clearly couldn't bear it anymore, but she didn't cry or beg for mercy like usual. Instead, she clung to him desperately and tried her best to please him.
Xie Chen's eyes were incredibly dark, and he could no longer suppress his anger.
He stopped, and sure enough, the woman under him opened her tearful eyes and became extremely nervous in an instant.
"Your Majesty? Didn't I serve you well?"
Xie Chen pinched her chin tightly and sneered, "Pei Tingyue, are you trying to please me?"
