Chapter 2233 Just be obedient!
But, she never expected it.
The emperor actually asked her? !
Chen Lianxiang's voice was originally soft and pleasant, but at this time she was too excited, and her voice was trembling when she spoke, completely unlike her usual softness.
"Yes...I am Chen Lianxiang, from the Yanxi Palace."
"Yanxi Palace, Chen Lianxiang."
Zhu Feng repeated it, then said, "You live with Concubine Shun?"
"yes."
"How is she?"
"Well, Concubine Shun is feeling unwell because she misses the late Empress too much. But it's nothing serious."
"Um……"
Zhu Feng looked at her again and nodded slightly.
He didn't say much, just looked up and walked out, but his back remained in the eyes of everyone present.
It was even deeply imprinted in Shen Lianxiang's heart.
She kept watching Zhu Feng leave Jiyan Hall, and her back disappeared in the distance. She was still a little dazed, but after a while, she felt a strange chill on the back of her head.
She turned around hurriedly and saw Concubine Xi Ruan Mei looking at her coldly.
"Xi, Concubine Xi..."
Ruan Mei's face darkened and she asked, "Why would the emperor ask you?"
“…”
"It was clearly me who sent people to Sishan Gate to take care of those noble ladies, why are you asking?!"
After all, she was young and impatient. The excitement and loss she just experienced just now, in just a short moment, was like a throw from heaven to hell.
She was both embarrassed and anxious, and even more so hated the person in front of her for taking away the emperor's attention that should have belonged to her.
My teeth are clenched.
Shen Lianxiang's heart sank.
The reason why she didn't take the lead this time, but instead suggested Concubine Xi to do this, was to let her take the lead, and she would have the "good name" of being her helper, and if there was anything in the future, Concubine Xi would also help her.
After all, it is very easy to manipulate a simple-minded girl like Concubine Xi.
What's more, everyone knows the imperial concubine's bad reputation in the palace.
Anyone who dares to speak out in front of the emperor will die.
Zhao Nanfeng has become a lesson for everyone.
But what she didn't expect was that the emperor would actually notice her and specifically ask her which palace she was from.
How could he notice me?
Did someone mention it to him, or...
Or, did I really catch his attention?
Thinking of this, Chen Lianxiang's mind couldn't help but become dazed, but now was not the time to think about this matter. The jealous Concubine Xi in front of her was the biggest trouble.
She hurriedly whispered, "My Lady Concubine Xi, I don't know either."
“…”
"I'm afraid the Emperor is concerned about Concubine Shun, so he asked me."
When Concubine Xi heard this, her brows furrowed.
Although the emperor did ask about Concubine Shun just now, for some reason, she just felt something was wrong.
Why didn't the emperor ask himself, but asked her, a mere concubine?
She said coldly: "Could it be that you, the foxy girl, said something to the emperor in private?"
Chen Lianxiang said hurriedly, "My Lady Concubine Xi, I have been in the Jiyan Palace these past two days, attending to the spirits. I haven't been anywhere else, let alone met the Emperor in private."
“…”
This is true.
Concubine Xi Ruan Mei looked at her twice more seriously, and her eyes seemed as if she wanted to see two holes through her body.
After a long while, he snorted coldly: "Behave yourself!"
"……yes."
Chen Lianxiang lowered her head with some grievance, and her hands on her knees clenched involuntarily, twisting the corners of her clothes hard.
In fact, from the very beginning, she had no intention of making a name for herself in the palace. Although there were not many concubines in the palace to begin with, and now there are even fewer, the imperial concubine has dominated the favor in the palace for several years, and other concubines have few opportunities to serve the emperor.
She knew very well that with her background, even if she could win temporary favor, in the end, she would probably not be able to escape the imperial concubine's clutches.
Therefore, relying on a powerful person is the most practical and beneficial approach for her.
She and her family chose Duke Chengguo and Concubine Hui.
Moreover, in order to sneak into the harem under the nose of the Queen Mother, their interactions with Duke Cheng were all done in secret. Even after entering the palace, her interactions with Concubine Hui were also very covert.
But I didn't expect that if you rely on the mountain, the mountain will collapse, and if you rely on the water, the water will flow
Not long after entering the palace, Duke Chengguo collapsed!
Concubine Hui is dead too!
Fortunately, their dealings were not overt, so she was able to protect herself for the time being.
Someone who knows my secrets—
She looked back at Concubine Kang Biyun and Talented Lady Xin Mimi who were kneeling on the other side. These two people had an open relationship with Concubine Hui, but the Imperial Concubine had not dealt with them yet. They were in danger of losing their lives and were so scared that they could not take care of themselves.
The only person who can protect yourself is yourself.
Therefore, she pushed Concubine Xi out. If she could win favor, she could also get some benefits. If she was in trouble, she could stay out of it.
But now, the emperor noticed him.
This caused Concubine Xi to be dissatisfied with herself, and her plan was almost about to collapse.
The change happened too quickly, and she was unable to react in time.
In the end, should I continue to hide behind Concubine Xi, or...
Or, will the emperor notice this opportunity and really try to win his favor?
When she thought about what had just happened, she saw the emperor staring into her eyes - his eyes were so beautiful, dark and deep, like a bottomless pool. No one could figure out what such a man was thinking, but he was also more mysterious, making people want to get closer involuntarily.
What should I do?
She was confused for a moment.
Huipin Li Pan'er, who had been kneeling aside and watching everything coldly, looked at the expressions of the two of them coldly and sneered at this time.
He still looked up at the spirit tablet in front of him and kowtowed devoutly.

After Zhu Feng left the Jiyan Hall, he went straight to the bedroom.
From a distance, I could see the door open.
Nan Yan was sitting at a round table facing the gate. There was a big bundle on the table. It was opened a little and there seemed to be a lot of things inside. She was staring at the things that were revealed inside.
Zhu Feng waved his hand and asked Xiao Shunzi, who was following him, to quietly step aside.
Then he stepped through the door.
"What are you looking at?"
"……emperor?"
Nan Yan was originally lost in thought, but when she heard Zhu Feng's voice, she hurriedly stood up and saluted him. Zhu Feng walked over and held her up with his hand.
He said, "What are you looking at so intently? I've already walked to the door, but you didn't notice me."
"yes……"
I could feel her hesitating.
Zhu Feng looked down and was also stunned for a moment.
I saw that the big bundle on the table had been untied at one corner, revealing some familiar things inside.
"This is--"
