Hearing her say this, Concubine Jing remained calm and uttered two words calmly: "Get out of the way!"
Concubine Lan could no longer pretend. Anyone would be unhappy if they were ignored like this, not to mention that she had been ignored by this elder sister since she was a child and had long been dissatisfied with her.
The eldest sister Lan Xiang has been famous for her talent since she was young, and her appearance is also very outstanding. The elders in the family love her the most, making her younger sisters pale in comparison. She has always been jealous and resentful of her.
But she always looks like she has no interest in anything and doesn't care about anyone, which is very annoying.
But things are different now. She is now favored by the emperor and has summoned him to his bedchamber for three consecutive days. However, her elder sister still ignores her and does not take her seriously. How can she not be angry?
Concubine Lan suddenly frowned, "Lan Xiang, why are you pretending? You've already fallen out of favor, yet you still dare to treat me like that? I'm the Emperor's favorite concubine now, deeply favored by him. You must give me this pot of flowers today!"
After saying this, she signaled the palace maid beside her to go up and take the pot of flowers away.
Concubine Jing came out to appreciate the flowers today with only one personal maid, while Concubine Lan brought a whole group of palace servants with her to highlight her favor. Concubine Jing was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
After receiving the order, the maids of Concubine Lan rushed to snatch the flowerpot from the hands of Concubine Jing's maid Qiandai. Qiandai held the flowerpot and looked at the group of people vigilantly as if facing a great enemy, as if she did not expect Concubine Lan to dare to commit such a rebellion.
She was Concubine Jing's personal maid who grew up with her, so naturally she knew Concubine Lan. It was because when they knew her in the mansion before, every young lady was respectful when they saw their eldest lady.
Not to mention that their master is now a concubine, and Lady Lan is just a new noblewoman who has just entered the palace. How dare she disrespect her master? She stopped in front of Lady Jing and said loudly:
"How dare you! My mistress is the Emperor's personal concubine, Jing Fei, one of the Four Concubines. How dare you disrespect her?"
Hearing this, the palace maids stopped with hesitation.
Seeing this, Lady Lan became even angrier. She said with a look of dismay:
"What are you afraid of? It doesn't matter if you are one of the four concubines. It's useless if you are not favored. If you don't go and report to the emperor, I will banish you all to the Xinzheku to do hard labor!"
After hearing this, the palace maids regained their resolve and walked towards Concubine Jing and her servants.
Seeing this, Qiandai was very anxious. How dare these people be so bold!
At this time, Concubine Jing pushed away Qian Dai who was blocking her way and said in an unmistakable tone: "You just want this orchid, okay!"
As she spoke, she took the orchid from Qiandai's arms. Just when Concubine Lan thought she was going to present the orchid to her, Concubine Jing lifted up the orchid with an expressionless face and threw it hard to the ground.
In an instant, the porcelain flowerpot shattered into pieces, and everyone was shocked by this sudden scene.
Before Concubine Lan and her group of people who were stunned by the shock could react, Concubine Jing walked around the group of people calmly and left with Qiandai.
By the time Concubine Lan reacted, she could only see the backs of Concubine Jing and the other person. Her face was distorted with anger, and she watched with hatred as Concubine Jing's indifferent back gradually walked away.
Ning Yuxi and Concubine Xian, who witnessed the whole process, looked at each other silently, and both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
Concubine Xian said quietly, "I didn't expect that Concubine Jing, who is usually so quiet, would be so handsome at the critical moment."
Ning Yuxi also felt the same way. She originally thought that Concubine Jing, who had an angelic temperament and didn't care about anything, would just allow Concubine Lan to bully her and endure it silently. She didn't expect her to be so tough.
This is what they mean by "It is better to die with honor than to live in disgrace". I would rather break my things than give them to you. This kind of character is really lovely.
In the evening, the emperor did not summon Concubine Lan to sleep with him again. After all, three times is the limit. The emperor had broken the rule and summoned her for three consecutive days. He had to change someone on the fourth day no matter what.
Today, the emperor summoned Concubine Lian to sleep with him. Everyone in the harem breathed a sigh of relief, but Concubine Lan was furious.
She had already been angered by Concubine Jing during the day, and was eagerly waiting for the emperor to summon her to sleep with him at night. Unexpectedly, the emperor turned around and summoned someone else. How could she accept this disparity for a while?
It was past midnight. Ning Yuxi had just put Cheng Zhao and the others to bed and was about to go to bed herself when Luo Ying suddenly came over to report, "Master, something happened to Concubine Lan."
Hearing this, Ning Yuxi just raised her eyebrows and said casually, "What's wrong?"
Luoying: "My Lord, the Emperor summoned Consort Lian to sleep with him that night. Consort Lan suddenly sent someone to tell the Emperor that she was not feeling well and asked the Emperor to come and see her, but the Emperor did not go.
Not long afterward, Concubine Lan's maid suddenly ran to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial physician, saying that Concubine Lan had accidentally eaten something unclean and was suffering from severe abdominal pain, and that the Empress had even gone there.
"Has the Emperor gone yet?"
Luoying shook her head. She thought that the emperor was probably being affectionate with Concubine Lian right now, so he had no time to pay attention to her.
Ning Yuxi was too lazy to pay attention. What was there for her to do if the emperor didn't go? The queen went because she was in charge of the harem and it was her responsibility to take care of anything that happened to the concubines.
The next morning, when Ning Yuxi was dressing up, she heard Luoying telling her what had happened last night:
"Noble Lady Lan was allergic to a certain type of snack. She accidentally ate it and suffered from severe abdominal pain. The Empress then sent someone to look for the Emperor, who also went to see her and then rested in Noble Lady Lan's palace."
Hearing this, Ruyi couldn't help but say, "She can still serve the emperor even after calling the imperial physician because of abdominal pain. She must be faking it. Otherwise, Concubine Lian will hate Concubine Lan."
Ning Yuxi remained silent. This Concubine Lan was indeed quite annoying, but with her behavior, she probably wouldn't stay in the palace for long.
