Xianfei immediately understood and winked at Yumei. Yumei understood and left with the palace maids.
"I wonder what Your Majesty wants to tell me?" asked the virtuous concubine with a smile.
"I wonder if the queen has prepared my master's gift? If the virtuous concubine hasn't prepared it in half a month, my master will come and take back the colorful gold hairpin that was given to the virtuous concubine in person." Jinchai repeated calmly, not caring about the expression of the person opposite her.
The smile on Concubine Xian's lips froze, and there was a chill in the depths of her smiling eyes.
She was threatening her, saying that if she didn't take action, she would take away all her honors and favors. She was going to take away her position as a concubine, her wealth and glory.
The virtuous concubine hated her, but with her current abilities, she couldn't possibly oppose her. She suppressed her unhappiness and put on a polite smile, "Tell the Imperial Concubine that she will receive the gift she requested soon."
"That's good. I'll take my leave."
After Jinchai left, Concubine Xian couldn't control her inner anger and threw the teacup on the tea table to the ground. When Yumei came in, she was really shocked, but seeing the gloomy face of the Empress, she knew that the Imperial Concubine must have said something bad to the master again.
Yumei instructed two palace maids to pick up the broken porcelain on the floor. She walked up to Concubine Xian and said softly, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Right now, your most important thing is to win the Emperor's heart. As long as the Emperor favors you, you won't have to worry about her in the future."
"Snap"~~A crisp sound suddenly rang out, and a red palm print soon appeared on Yumei's face.
Yumei's entire face was twisted by Concubine Xian's slap, which showed that she had used a lot of strength in that slap.
"When have I ever looked at her expression?" the virtuous concubine said angrily.
This sentence was like stepping on her tail, making her furious. Everyone in the harem knew that she was dependent on Bei Yutang and acted according to her mood, but in her palace, no one was allowed to say such things.
Even if it is true!
After receiving such a hard slap, Yumei felt sad, but also realized that she had said the wrong thing.
"I deserve to die." Yumei knelt down and apologized.
Concubine Xian stared at Yumei coldly, her eyes flashing with coldness. The other maids in the palace were so frightened that they dared not say a word.
You have to know that Yumei is the master's confidant. If she was beaten, they would be dead if they ran into her. No one dared to breathe.
After a while, the virtuous concubine finally calmed down and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yumei stood up, lowered her head and dared not speak a word.
"You are right. The most important thing now is to grasp the favor of His Majesty, so that we can take root and gain a foothold in the harem." As she said this, there was a chill in her eyes.
"Dress up for me."
From clothes to jewelry, she carefully selected and chose everything, especially the jewelry. When all the precious jewelry was placed in front of her, the most eye-catching one was undoubtedly the colorful gold hairpin.
Yumei didn't dare suggest to Concubine Xian that she wear a colorful gold hairpin, for fear that Concubine Chen's anger would be vented on her again.
Concubine Xian looked at the colorful gold hairpin in the box and had to admit that it was the most dazzling and beautiful. She didn't want to wear it, but in order to get the emperor's attention, she had to wear it even if it made her feel disgusted.
