In Fengzao Palace, the queen's expression became increasingly solemn as she listened to the palace maid's report.
Gradually, her eyes became angry and she clenched her fists.
There was a crisp sound of "crack", which was the sound of nails breaking.
The queen's nails, which she had carefully grown to two inches long, were all broken by herself.
There were still traces of flesh and blood on the broken nails, and the fingers were connected to the heart. It hurt everyone watching, but the queen seemed to be unconscious.
"Say that again?" The Queen's voice was muffled, concealing her anger.
That palace maid was an informant arranged by the Queen in Ganxiao Palace. She would record all the big and small things that happened to the Emperor in her palace and report them to the Queen.
When she saw the queen's expression, she knew that something was wrong.
She repeated what she had just said with a trembling voice and a red face.
"Noble Lady Su has been staying in the Emperor's Qianxiao Palace for three days and three nights. From yesterday evening to this morning, the two of them made love loudly and without stopping..."
The clouds and rain... never stopped...
The queen's eyes were bloodshot and her heart was burning with anger. She had no time to care about the broken nail.
Why did he have to favor a lowly little palace maid when there were so many people he could favor?
She thought bitterly, her face full of gloom and anxiety. The good complexion that had finally improved for two days disappeared in an instant.
"Let's go! Find the Queen Mother!"
The queen's eyes were filled with impatience. She stood up, disregarding everything else, and headed towards the Cining Palace.
Yuping hurriedly took a small piece of fine silk cloth, called the palace maid who served the queen, and quickly followed.
On the way to the Cining Palace, Yuping bandaged the wound on the Queen's finger, and then carefully persuaded the Queen,
"Empress, please calm down. The Emperor was just acting on impulse."
Seeing that the queen was still gloomy and pursed her lips, she rolled her eyes and whispered:
"Empress, do you remember there was a beautiful woman named Fang, who was also a fairy, no less beautiful than the imperial concubine? She was also favored by the emperor and enjoyed a period of glory. But what happened to her in the end? Wasn't she rejected by the emperor and eventually died?"
"Death..." The Queen pondered over these words and slowed down her pace.
Seeing that the Queen seemed to be persuaded, Yu Ping leaned close to the Queen's ear and whispered:
"Now this noble lady Su is just a humble maid, having just climbed onto the emperor's bed. For the sake of a bright future, she must use all her tricks to capture the emperor's heart, right?"
"But, Your Majesty, think about it, if she could do something like seducing the Emperor for three days and three nights, and even neglecting state affairs, what kind of scheming and conspiracy could she have?"
Yu Ping saw the anger in the Queen's eyes fade a little, a gleam of brilliance flashed in her eyes, and her voice lowered even more.
"Let's just wait for this Noble Lady Su to be executed, just like the Concubine Fang before her, due to the wrath of the Emperor, or..."
She looked around and said in a gloomy voice, "Let's make friends with her first, and then devise a plan to push her—"
Go to hell.
The last two words could only be understood but not expressed in words. After she finished speaking, she carefully observed the queen's expression.
Seeing that the queen's eyelids were slightly drooping and she seemed to be thinking about something, she knew that the queen understood what she meant.
After a moment, the queen calmed down completely. She took a deep breath and returned to her usual dignified and graceful appearance.
The corners of her beautiful lips curled up into a cold smile, "Yeah, it would be fine if she died."
Although what Yu Ping said was in line with her wishes, Yu Ping had no idea that she was not angry about the lowly palace maid who seduced the emperor to have fun every night, but about -
Instead, she got the emperor's first time!
Thinking of this, she still couldn't control her anger, and her chest rose and fell rapidly for a few breaths before it calmed down.
However, Yuping was right about one thing. As long as Concubine Su died, the person who took the emperor's virginity would be gone.
By then, if she uses some tricks to have sex with the emperor during the Moonlit Night and Flower Festival, wouldn't she be the first one?
"Huh..." Thinking of this, the queen felt a lot more relieved.
Her brows relaxed as she instructed Yuping, "Go, send someone to keep a close eye on Concubine Su. Don't miss a single moment."
"By the way," she said, her eyes slightly curved, a hint of teasing on her lips, "arrange for someone to tell the Imperial Concubine everything that happened in the Xiao Palace, picking out the embarrassing details, and making sure to tell it vividly."
In the entire palace, the Imperial Concubine is the most arrogant and impatient, and her methods are also vicious. If she could get rid of Concubine Su, it would save her the trouble.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will take care of this matter." Yuping replied respectfully.
"Empress, are we still going to pay our respects to the Queen Mother?"
The queen walked leisurely, with a calm expression.
"Go, why not? I am the mistress of the harem and the emperor's wife, so I should do my duty to advise her. Since I can't see the emperor, I will go see the queen mother and let her know that I am different from those coquettish and slutty women."
The Queen and her entourage soon arrived at the Cining Palace.
The queen was dignified and steady. The empress dowager always valued her and liked her temperament. When the palace maid came to announce that the queen had arrived, the empress dowager immediately asked someone to invite the queen in.
It was not yet noon, and the Queen Mother had nothing to do, so she sat around the stove in the palace and made tea.
She was very happy to see the queen coming and invited her to come over for tea.
"Queen, please come quickly. I asked the palace maids to collect the first snow of this winter and brew this sweet-scented osmanthus black tea. It tastes sweet and delicious. You young people will probably like it."
The Queen smiled and greeted the Queen Mother, then sat down to drink tea. She put down the teacup and praised, "This is really a good tea brewed with great care."
Then, he sighed lightly, a look of melancholy appeared between his brows, he lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, as if he had something to say but couldn't.
The empress dowager was not completely ignorant of what was happening in the palace. She knew the ridiculous things the emperor did and that he did not favor the dignified and beautiful concubines in the harem.
She knew that the emperor preferred to favor beautiful women. In the past, there was a beautiful lady named Fang, then there was a noble concubine, and now there was the noble lady Su.
The empress dowager also advised the emperor to treat everyone equally, to stay more often in the palaces of those concubines with good character and appearance, and to visit the empress more often.
But for some reason, the child seemed to be deliberately angry with her. Every time she tried to persuade the emperor, the emperor would favor those beautiful concubines of humble origins who could only seduce the emperor.
Just like this time, she told the emperor the day before yesterday not to just visit the imperial concubine, but also visit other concubines.
If he felt that the concubines in the harem were not satisfactory, he would select some noble ladies with good character and appearance from the aristocratic families to enter the palace.
It was just two sentences, and the emperor was unhappy again.
The Empress Dowager heard that after the Emperor left the Cining Palace, he went to the Imperial Concubine's Palace and even carried a little palace maid back to the Ganxiao Palace. He did not leave the palace for three days and three nights.
Forget it. After this incident, she has come to terms with it. She thinks that if she had not cared about it, perhaps the emperor would not have done such ridiculous things.
The Queen Mother's eyes were gentle as she patted the Queen's hand. "But what about the newly promoted Concubine Su? Wait a little longer. You are the Queen, and the Emperor will not neglect you."
The Queen sighed softly, "Reporting to Her Majesty, Mother, I am not a jealous person. I am worried about something else."
