When Concubine Rong saw that Emperor Mian ignored her and instead set his eyes on Concubine Gu, she couldn't help but glare at her, her eyes full of warning.
"emperor!"
She immediately became unhappy, "Your Majesty, did you hear what I said just now?"
"I heard it." Di Mian's gaze finally shifted to her, his voice low and mellow like wine.
Rong Fei was delighted, but when she met his deep and dark eyes, her heart skipped a beat, as if a cold frost was crawling up her spine, making her shiver.
"Rong Fei, you seem to know everything about my affairs recently." Emperor Mian raised the corner of his mouth with a smile that made Rong Fei feel uneasy.
"I am only concerned about Your Majesty..."
Her voice became quieter and quieter, with a hint of fear in her eyes.
She had seen this kind of look before; it was the expression of disgust that the Emperor Mian showed when looking at an object.
"Oh, really?"
Emperor Mian's tone rose slightly, and he was obviously impatient.
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Rong Fei knelt down hurriedly to apologize.
"Get up."
After a long time, Emperor Mian spoke lightly.
Rong Fei had just calmed down from the shock, but she was still uneasy in her heart. She had to stand up tremblingly, sit down quietly aside, and dared not say a word.
Concubine Ning, watching from the side, was delighted. Just as she was about to go up and say something to Emperor Mian, she heard Emperor Mian say something puzzling to Gu Xiaoqiao in the corner, "Does Lady Gu really like hollyhocks?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was focused on Gu Jinqiao.
The emperor actually took the initiative to ask a little concubine what she liked?
This is simply bizarre news!
Could it be that the emperor really treated her differently?
Gu Xiaoqiao raised her eyes and met the Emperor's gaze, her heart skipping a beat.
"Your Majesty, I do like it, but... I can't say I like it very much."
"Heh." Di Mian chuckled, "You are quite honest. But this pink and white color really suits you."
Gu Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
How could she be dishonest? Emperors have always been suspicious, let alone a tyrant like him.
If she said she liked it very much, he might think that she would try every possible means to find out his likes and dislikes.
However, this sudden praise set off alarm bells in Concubine Ning's heart.
Only then did she begin to look carefully at this beautiful lady Gu. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked at her, but once she did, the sense of crisis in her heart became even stronger.
Today she was wearing a pink and white long dress, with her hair tied in a bun and a white jade hairpin inserted in it.
Two pairs of crystal clear pearls hang from her ears, her skin is whiter than snow, her eyebrows are like willow moons, her eyes are like stars, her eyes are bright and clear, and her lips are as tender and juicy as cherry blossoms, as if just waiting to be picked.
The clothes she wore today were not gorgeous, nor did they have any luxurious decorations, but they made her look particularly dazzling.
Especially when she smiles, she is even brighter and more charming than the spring flowers in March.
What kind of person is this? She has three pure, charming and gentle postures, and the key is that they don’t look out of place at all.
For the first time, the words "feeling ashamed of oneself" popped up in Concubine Ning's mind, but she quickly dismissed this absurd idea.
Bah, what’s the point of having a pretty face? Look at that small body, it’s just like an underdeveloped bean sprout.
Which man doesn't like a plump woman? How can a skinny figure like hers arouse a man's desire?
Thinking of this, Concubine Ning silently straightened her chest, which she was proud of, and then deliberately walked in front of Gu Xiaoqiao.
"Yesterday I heard from the palace servants that a new beauty from Jiangnan had arrived in our palace. Today I saw that it was indeed true. My sister is so stunningly beautiful that we couldn't help but be moved when we saw her."
"but…"
At this point, she changed the subject, "I'm a little curious. Are all the women in Jiangnan as frail and malnourished as you? It seems you really need to eat more. Women like us should be thin where we should be thin, and plump where we should be plump, to look more beautiful..."
As soon as these words were spoken, several concubines couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She was not being sarcastic, she was being quite blunt, saying that Miss Gu had small breasts and a skinny figure.
And only someone of Concubine Ning's background could say such words...
It's funny to say it. Concubine Ning has always thought that her appearance is the best in the six palaces, but she didn't expect that someone who is more beautiful than her would come this time.
It seems they will have a good show to watch in the future.
"Concubine Ning, aren't you leaving because you're not feeling well?" the Queen Mother said with a frown.
She has been a concubine for several years, but she still speaks so vulgarly. I wonder what the emperor likes about her?
"Your Majesty, I was not feeling well just now, but I am feeling better now. I haven't met these new sisters yet, so I decided to stay here a little longer to chat with them."
Let’s chat…
Gu Xiaoqiao sneered. Didn’t he just want to humiliate her figure in front of everyone?
"Your Highness, Concubine Ning is absolutely right. Women in our dynasty have always valued a well-proportioned figure. I am still young and you made fun of me. I will eat well and grow up. As the saying goes, girls change a lot when they grow up. Maybe I will look different in a while."
What this means is, what if I’m thinner? I’m still young and I can still grow!
At the same time, it also indirectly reminds Concubine Ning of her age. It is really unbecoming for her to embarrass a 28-year-old woman at this age.
Concubine Ning naturally understood what Gu Xiaoqiao meant, but her expression looked a little unhappy.
