"Your Highness, recently His Majesty has been favoring Concubine Zhao. For the sake of harmony in the harem, Concubine Zhao should persuade His Majesty to spend some time with the other sisters in the palace. But Concubine Zhao...she actually ignored the suggestions of me and others."
The Queen Mother glanced at Shen Shuyi, "Concubine Zhao, is that so?"
Shen Shuyi was very unhappy when she saw the Queen Mother's expression. Anyway, she was not the Emperor's biological mother, so she didn't need to pretend to be submissive.
The emperor can't live without her now. It doesn't matter even if she causes a lot of trouble in the city. In the eyes of others, isn't she just a beautiful but stupid woman? There’s nothing wrong with being a little bit spoiled.
"Your Highness, I have been favored by the Emperor since I entered the palace. Although there are three thousand beauties in the harem, Your Majesty only favors me! Last night, I advised Your Majesty to treat everyone equally, but Your Majesty just wouldn't listen..."
Shen Shuyi clutched the handkerchief with a helpless look on his face.
Anyway...the emperor dotes on her!
The Queen Mother became furious upon hearing this, and felt a tightness in her heart, and her next words were much more sharp.
"Zhao Fei, I don't want to say anything too harsh, but you are really outrageous. It is precisely because the emperor loves you that you must be more virtuous and do your duty of admonishing His Majesty."
Shen Shuyi smiled.
She is just a favored concubine, why should she be virtuous?
Ask her to persuade the emperor? Then can you give me a queen?
The Queen Mother became more and more displeased with her, and couldn't find a reason to punish her, so she made her stand outside as a small punishment but a big warning.
The autumn wind was howling, and the little girl's skin was so delicate that it was about to be blown apart. She couldn't stand it if she stood for too long.
Shen Shuyi stood out obediently, “66, check Qin Hao’s favorability towards me.”
[Congratulations host, the mission target's favorability towards you has reached 40%! ]
Shen Shuyi raised her eyebrows. She was almost torn apart. This man was too stingy.
He is indeed a cold-hearted emperor.
In his eyes, the country and offspring are the most important.
Now that I have tasted it, it is difficult to increase my favorability even if I enjoy the taste.
She had to find another way. She took a look at the fake pregnancy pills in the system mall. This was a good opportunity to get rid of Concubine Yin and avenge the original owner, killing two birds with one stone!
After an incense stick of time passed, the concubines filed out of the inner hall one after another.
Chen Shuyi stood outside the corridor, and the concubines who came out did not forget to glance at her, and there was inevitably a bit of gloating in their eyes.
One of Concubine Yin's followers stepped forward and said, "Madam Concubine Zhao, I am of a lower rank than you and shouldn't say these words, but I still want to advise you..."
"Pa!" Before Concubine Fan could finish her words, she was slapped by Shen Shuyi, "You know you shouldn't say it."
Concubine Fan covered her swollen face with her hands and tears flowed down her face.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Yin stopped and said, "Concubine Zhao, you passed."
"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, but you are causing unrest in the harem."
"Really?" Shen Shuyi turned slightly to look at Concubine Yin, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
"Does your Majesty have to decide which palace he wants to stay in? I think you are the one who thinks least of your Majesty."
"You!" Concubine Yin pressed on step by step. It was the first time that she was provoked so directly. Several maids at the side followed her instructions and surrounded Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi learned from the system that Qin Hao was coming here after learning the news that she was punished by the Queen Mother to stand, and she didn't mind being a little more arrogant.
She is a living and breathing Concubine Zhao, not a wooden beauty. It is normal for her to be arrogant because of His Majesty's favor!
"Empress Yin, what do you mean?"
Concubine Yin frowned, "You are just a lowly commoner from the countryside!"
Shen Shuyi's expression changed, and he said calmly, "Your Majesty is our God in this harem. How can you rely on your higher rank than me to let the maids surround me without restraint?"
"Are you going to punish me without your Majesty's permission?"
Her words completely angered Concubine Yin, "Concubine Zhao, you are so bold. Not only do you take advantage of my favor to be arrogant, but you even question my authority. Who gave you the courage?"
"Come here, take Concubine Zhao away and teach her the rules of the harem, so that she can serve His Majesty wholeheartedly in the future!"
Just as the nanny was about to drag Chen Shuyi, a steady sound of footsteps was heard, accompanied by a man's mellow voice.
"stop."
When Shen Shuyi saw Qin Hao, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at him aggrievedly with red eyes.
"His Majesty..."
When Concubine Yin saw that she no longer had the arrogant look she had just now, she was so angry that she was shaking. This bitch is always good at pretending!
The maids hurriedly let go of Shen Shuyi, wishing they could hide, but they were escorted out by the guards the next moment.
Concubine Yin gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao ignored the palace rules..."
Qin Hao didn't even look at her, he walked straight to Shen Shuyi and hugged her with his big hands, "I heard what you said just now, Concubine Zhao is right, how are you going to punish her?"
"Speaking of palace rules, I would like to tell you about Concubine Xu."
When Concubine Yin saw the coldness in the emperor's eyes, she felt like she was falling into an ice cellar. Could it be that... he knew that it was she who ordered Concubine Xu to drug him?
But she had already bribed the head maidservant beside Concubine Xu to take the blame for everything and point out that Concubine Xu was the only one who did it. After the head maidservant finished speaking, she bit her tongue and committed suicide. With no evidence to prove her wrongdoing, the emperor could not find out anything about her.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying..."
Qin Hao's eyes turned colder. "I will not settle accounts with you this time because of the great contributions of the general. If there is a next time..."
The warning in his eyes made Concubine Yin stand still, watching the Emperor embrace Concubine Zhao and leave.
