On her way back, Tang Wan met an uninvited guest.
When the woman saw her, she arrogantly asked her to kneel down and pay her respects.
Tang Wan said calmly, "I wonder who you are?"
The woman seemed disdainful to say it out loud and winked at the maid beside her.
The maid immediately understood and raised her voice sharply, "How dare you! Seeing our Concubine Rong, why don't you kneel down and pay your respects?"
"Caizhi, why bother with her? Just slap her in the face."
Hongyue stretched out her hand to block her: "Our queen is the noble concubine, the Rongpin concubine. According to the rules, you should be the one to pay your respects to our queen."
The expression on Rongpin's face gradually changed from disdain to shock, and then she looked at Tang Wan straight in the eye.
She was first shocked by her appearance, which was cold and passionate, with a beautiful face. That face seemed to make everything in the world look dim.
Tang Wan wore a light blue skirt today. This color is not something that ordinary people can pull off, but it suits her perfectly and only makes her skin look better.
On her fair and tender pink earlobes, she wore a pair of emerald green earrings. Ningpin recognized them at a glance. They were the earrings that she had asked His Majesty for but was rejected!
"How did you get these earrings?"
Tang Wan smiled faintly: "This is a gift from His Majesty."
Hearing her say this, Rongpin felt even more uncomfortable.
"I see. I thought someone got it through some unfair means."
After hearing this, Tang Wan glanced at Rongpin coldly and said, "Since Rongpin is unwilling to greet me, there is no need to waste time here. I'll take my leave first." After that, she turned and left, regardless of how angry Rongpin was.
Rongpin watched her leaving with an inexplicable jealousy rising in her heart, but she did not chase after her. Instead, she snorted coldly: "You are just a noble concubine who has just entered the palace, and you dare to put on airs in front of me!"
Caizhi, standing by, quickly comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. She's just a new concubine, a princess married into a foreign alliance. What foundation can she possibly have? Wait until your Majesty neglects her, and we'll see if she still dares to act arrogantly!"
Caizhi's face was filled with indignation. His Majesty was really so superficial. He couldn't see how infatuated their queen was, but only saw a superficial face. It was just that she was not good-looking, and he didn't even know what her character was like.
What a vixen, bah!
After hearing this, Rongpin felt a little better, but she still felt unhappy. After all, when she first entered the palace, no one dared to be so rude to her.
She looked at the direction where Tang Wan was going away, and secretly swore in her heart that one day, she would let this new concubine know who was the most honorable person in the harem!
She returned to the palace angrily, and as soon as she entered the hall, she smashed the porcelain in the hall to pieces.
"Oh, my lady, be careful with yourself and don't touch your hands."
Zhao Hai knew she was in a bad mood when he saw her expression, so he quickly ran out to comfort her.
Rongpin wiped her tears and said, "Zhao Hai, what's wrong with me? My family background is not bad, and my appearance is not bad either. Why can a princess of a small country ride on my head?"
Rongpin said as she looked at Zhao Hai's face.
Zhao Hai couldn't bear to see her sad and heartbroken. Seeing her tears, his heart ached. He quickly comforted her, "Your Majesty, you are so beautiful and charming. His Majesty just didn't realize your good qualities for a while. Don't cry. Crying will hurt your body, and it will not make up for it."
"But Zhao Hai, I just can't stand the behavior of that so-called Noble Concubine Nuan. Who the hell is she? How dare she bully me?"
She sobbed and sobbed, perhaps she was pretending at first, but now she was really angry. She was crying very sadly and was out of breath.
The pear blossoms are in the rain, so pitiful.
Zhao Hai patted her back to calm her down, "My Lady, what do you want?"
"I want her to have a lower rank than me. She is a princess from a small country. Why, why should she surpass me?" Rongpin said a little aggrievedly. She was unwilling to accept it. Why should she be suppressed by a princess from a small country who had just entered the palace?
She is of noble status and has been pampered by her family since she was a child. When has she ever suffered such injustice?
"Zhao Hai, do you have any way to make His Majesty pay attention to me? I have been in the palace for so long, but His Majesty has never summoned me to sleep with him."
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, why did you lose your sense of propriety for Noble Concubine Nuan?"
Rongpin looked at him, and Zhao Hai continued, "Your Majesty, if you really want to win favor, you should capture His Majesty's heart. Then, His Majesty will naturally like you as a person, not those empty things."
Rongpin seemed to be thinking about something. She really should think carefully about how to win the heart of His Majesty.
Seeing that she seemed to be somewhat relenting, Zhao Hai continued to persuade her, "My Lady, if you really want to win favor, you should start with yourself."
"You should dress yourself up beautifully and go see His Majesty so that His Majesty can see you instead of sulking here, right?"
When Rongpin heard this, she immediately felt that it made sense. She felt that sulking here would not solve the problem and would only add to her troubles.
It would be better for me to go directly to see His Majesty and let him see me. Then, as long as my position surpasses hers, will I still be afraid that there will be no time to punish her?
So, she said to Zhao Hai: "Zhao Hai, you are right. I can't go on like this. I want to see His Majesty!"
Only if His Majesty sees her and she stands out can she gain His Majesty's favor.
Zhao Hai nodded, "My Lady, you can go now."
Rongpin stood up and ordered Caizhi, "Caizhi, go and get me my aqua-green dress. I want to see His Majesty!"
Caizhi responded and immediately went to prepare.
Rongpin changed her clothes and dressed up carefully before taking Caizhi and Zhao Hai to the imperial study.
On the way, Zhao Hai whispered to Rongpin: "Your Highness, you must remember not to be too ostentatious. You must do things that are in line with your status, so that His Majesty will not think that you are just a vase."
Rongpin nodded, "Zhao Hai, I understand. I will remember what you said."
The group arrived at the door of the imperial study, and the eunuch at the door went in to report.
Soon, the eunuch came out and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please summon the Queen."
Rongpin nodded and walked into the imperial study with Caizhi and Zhao Hai.
As soon as she entered, Rongpin saw that Tang Wan was having dinner with her beloved Majesty. The two were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Rongpin's heart tightened. She didn't expect that Nuan Guipin was so favored that she could have dinner with His Majesty.
She walked up to His Majesty and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Shen Xiaohan glanced at her and said lightly: "Get up, is there anything wrong?"
