"The Emperor is coming, but why didn't anyone tell me..."
"Everything has not been cleaned up yet. I have failed to do my job well and have made the emperor laugh at me." Lin Chunhuan smiled with her lips pursed, a hint of embarrassment in her shyness.
On the contrary, Wen Yunxiao's smile froze after hearing this, "Why, haven't you packed yet?"
"Actually, it's almost done. It's just that most of the concubines here are new, so the work is a little slow, but it's not a big deal."
Before Lin Chunhuan could finish his words, Wen Yunxiao had already walked into the palace. Just as Lin Chunhuan said, at a glance, it seemed that everything had been tidied up.
But there is still a lot of dust in the details.
The furnishings in the hall were also very casual, not at all beautiful, they were just things placed on the shelves.
If this situation happened outside, it would be considered normal, but here... this is the imperial palace!
Wen Yunxiao's face was slightly cold, and he sat directly in the main seat. Seeing this, Lin Chunhuan was startled and hurried forward, "Your Majesty, this place is not cleaned up yet. How about I accompany you to sit in the front."
"If the dragon robe gets stained with dust, it will be my fault!"
Lin Chunhuan was so nervous that her eyes were filled with tears. She clutched the handkerchief in her hands with both hands, looking at a loss. That tearful look made Wen Yunxiao even angrier.
"Silly girl, what could you have done wrong? Someone is just bullying you because you don't understand the rules of this harem!"
Wen Yunxiao's tone was so cold and hard that it made people tremble. "General Manager Fang, please invite the imperial concubine to come to me. I really want to know, is the surname of this concubine Wu or Wen?"
Wen Yunxiao emphasized the word "please" very strongly, and everyone in Lingxi Palace immediately fell to their knees!
This was the scene that the imperial concubine saw when she arrived. All the servants in the palace were silent as a cicada, with only one woman being held tightly in Wen Yunxiao's arms.
When she first saw that plain face, the imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, because she herself was a beauty.
But she is beautiful and delicate, and her beauty is sharp.
In addition, before the little prince passed away, she had been the only one favored by the prince for several years, and the arrogance of her high position had made her aura intimidating.
When he suddenly saw such a weak and non-aggressive woman, he was so uncomfortable that he was speechless.
It was Lin Chunhuan who, upon seeing the imperial concubine approaching, quickly broke free from Wen Yunxiao's arms and bowed politely.
However, after she withdrew her gaze, the imperial concubine never looked at her again.
The thing that the harem has the most is beauties, but she couldn't see what was different about this little merchant girl.
"Why did the emperor summon me?" The imperial concubine raised her chin slightly. She was an imperial concubine, and it would be fine if the emperor never entered the harem.
But in the past month, he has been frequently entering and leaving the harem, but has never set foot in the Yanx Palace!
Although the women in the harem didn't dare to say anything in front of her, behind her back, they all laughed at her, saying that this imperial concubine had lost her favor!
Concubine Wu was angry and her tone was not very good.
Even in her heart, she truly loves the man in front of her.
"Your Highness is truly magnificent."
Wen Yunxiao's face was cold.
The Imperial Concubine is in charge of the six palaces. Wen Yunxiao knew at a glance that the Imperial Concubine was neglecting Lingxi Palace openly or secretly. However, the Imperial Concubine is the biological mother of the little prince after all.
Even though his new love was by his side, he originally only wanted to scold her and give the imperial concubine a warning.
Even the moment he saw the imperial concubine, the little bit of anger he had was almost gone. Who would have thought that they had only not seen each other for half a year.
Concubine Wu has become so domineering!
Being stared at by a pair of eyes that seemed to be cold and devoid of any warmth, Concubine Wu shuddered all over. Only then did she realize something was amiss and forced herself to smile, "What does the emperor mean by this?"
"I don't understand."
"Don't understand?" Wen Yunxiao gently ran his fingers across the teacup beside him without waiting for Concubine Wu to react.
With a clang, the teacup shattered into pieces in front of her!
The suddenly splashing fragments even scratched the back of Concubine Wu's hand, leaving a string of round, tiny blood beads!
“Oh my God!”
Lin Chunhuan screamed, then covered his mouth tightly and knelt on the ground. When he lowered his head, there was no trace of panic in his eyes.
Instead, there was calmness.
Although she had never entered the palace in her previous life, even after she came to the imperial city, she was locked up in a dungeon by Princess Changning in the dark.
But this doesn't mean that she really doesn't understand anything!
Not to mention the Imperial Palace, even the steward of their Lin Mansion would not do things so roughly and carelessly when a distinguished guest came to their house. What happened in her Lingxi Palace today was clearly done intentionally by the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Of course, Lin Chunhuan didn't think that the person behind the scenes would be the imperial concubine in front of her, but there were some things she couldn't say directly.
Fortunately, the two masters in front of her didn't notice her at this moment. Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and silently moved back a little.
The venue was cleared for the two of them.
Wen Yunxiao stepped forward at this moment, staring intently into the imperial concubine's eyes, "This is what you did, do you understand now?"
He stared at the broken teacup on the ground for a long time.
Concubine Wu frowned. She was such a precious person. She was born as the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Not to mention that she was the most favored daughter in her family, she was also a concubine as soon as she entered the palace.
After her first bedtime, she was directly given the title of noble concubine.
In addition, she became pregnant with the little prince soon after, and she became a treasure in everyone's eyes. She could be said to be a delicate and precious girl.
Given her picky nature about things, and after Wen Yunxiao's outburst, Concubine Wu immediately realized that everything in Lingxi Palace was very crude and shabby.
Even if the merchant girl was just a concubine, something like this would be totally inappropriate.
What's more... the entire Lingxi Palace is still filled with a faint smell of dust!
Unless it was a deliberate arrangement, such a situation would never happen in the harem under her management. Concubine Wu also understood why she was called here today.
She raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I did not instruct you on this, and I don't know anything about this place..."
“Pah…”
Before Concubine Wu could finish her words, a loud slap landed on her face, although it didn't use much strength.
But there were still traces on that beautiful face that could not be ignored.
Concubine Wu raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at Lin Chunhuan, who had huddled in a corner. "You hit me?"
"I gave birth to your children, I've been with you for so many years, and you beat me for such a lowly woman!"
“Pah…”
There was no response, and the only answer Concubine Wu received was another loud slap in the face.
