On a sunny afternoon, several young concubines were strolling in the imperial garden, talking about recent events in the palace.
"This Concubine Liang is truly favored. Even Concubine Chen, who is the most favored in the six palaces, has to avoid her." The young concubine in pink palace dress said with envy.
"That's right. However, I think it's very likely that Concubine Chen will regain her favor." said the little palace concubine in purple.
"Why?"
"Noble Concubine Chen is under house arrest now. Who knows what will happen when she comes out. You said that Noble Concubine Chen is the most favored among the six palaces. That's because of her stunning beauty. Even I would be moved when I see her. However, Concubine Liang is not as good-looking as you and me, but she can still be favored by the emperor." The young concubine in purple said somewhat unwillingly.
"Don't say this. If someone hears it, it will be fatal." The young concubine in pink palace dress reminded.
"What are you afraid of? What I said is the truth. Concubine Liang is plain-looking. Looking at this huge harem, more than half of the people are prettier than her." The young concubine in purple thought that it was afternoon and the sun was scorching, so there must be no one in the imperial garden, so she dared to talk so boldly.
However, nothing is absolute in this world. It just happened that someone overheard it, and the person who came was the real one. This kind of luck is really unmatched.
Xia He walked out from behind the rockery with a gloomy face and shouted, "How dare you!"
The two concubines were startled when they heard the voice. When they turned around and saw who was behind them, their pretty faces turned pale.
Their legs went limp and they knelt on the ground. "Empress Liang, please spare my life. I have spoken without restraint. Please forgive me this time."
Low-ranking concubines like them can only be considered half masters, and can only be regarded as servants in front of the real masters.
When Concubine Liang heard these two people say this, she was filled with rage.
Concubine Liang's sinister gaze swept across the two women's charming faces. They were indeed beautiful. Concubine Liang's appearance had always been a source of worry for her. She had a beautiful face, and if she were in the common people, she would be considered a beauty. However, in this harem full of beauties, her appearance was not good enough.
Concubine Liang’s strength lies in her temperament, which is fresh, unworldly, and aloof from the world.
Now the appearance that she cared about the most was pulled out naked by these two people. She was so angry that she wanted to tear the mouths of these two people with her own hands.
"Since you know you're not very good at speaking, I'll teach you a lesson so you remember what to say and what not to say. Xia He, slap them in the face."
"yes."
Xia He waved her hand and called over two sturdy maids, one each, to start slapping him in the face.
"My Lady, spare my life!"
The two of them just shouted once, and couldn't shout out the rest of the words.
"Pah, pah, pah"
The loud sound of applause broke the silence of the imperial garden.
A quarter of an hour later, their faces were already red and swollen, with blood oozing from the corners of their lips. Their swollen cheeks made it impossible to tell how beautiful they were before.
"Wuwu." The two young concubines could only cry and could not even beg for mercy.
The slapping continued until Concubine Liang called for a halt. The maids had already taken turns slapping them. After half an incense stick, the two concubines could no longer bear it and passed out from the slapping.
"My lady, they fainted."
Xia Yuwei looked at the two people lying on the ground, her eyes fixed on their faces, which had long since become unrecognizable. Bending down, the sharp tip of the dazzling golden armor gently scraped across their faces, leaving a bloody mark.
