Chapter 32 Midnight Whisper
Rongcui Palace.
It was Concubine Rong's residence.
Last time, she had asked the Empress Dowager for some favors and was promoted to the position of concubine. What a good empress she is! She could even persuade Emperor Yuan to confine her in his own palace!
It's simply extremely vicious!
Rong Fei still felt unsatisfied, so she picked up a white porcelain bottle and threw it to the ground:
"Bitch!"
The third-class palace maid Cui Jing was so frightened that she trembled and dared not make a sound.
Rong Fei was getting more and more angry. They were all of the Cui generation. It was because she was not happy with the Empress that she had kept Cui Jing, who had been transferred here, at a level above the third-rank palace girls and had never promoted her. Now seeing her shrinking appearance, she was furious:
“Come here!”
The green scenery is simply despairing.
Seeing that Cuijing was unwilling to obey her master's orders, Lu Hua dragged Cuijing in front of her master by force.
Cuijing was frightened to tears, and Rongfei used her well-maintained nails to pinch the private parts of Cuijing's body that were difficult for others to see.
But I found that Cui Jing's face was quite good.
He grabbed the flesh on Cui Jing's face with his hands and said, "You look so seductive, are you trying to seduce Your Majesty in this palace?"
Cui Jing immediately knelt on the ground:
"Your Majesty, I don't have it, I don't have it!"
Cui Jing kowtowed so much that her hair was all messed up, but Rong Fei was still furious. She was about to continue torturing the little girl when Nanny Liu, who was serving beside her, came over and said:
"My queen, Miss Luo is here and wants to see you."
Yan Jue took another look at Cui Jing's little appearance and whispered to Rong Fei, "Madam, why bother? A little girl with such a beautiful appearance, are you afraid that she will be useless sooner or later?"
"I heard that His Majesty has a new eunuch and thinks highly of him——"
The following words can only be discussed between the two of them in private. After all, they were talking about secret matters that could not be discussed openly.
"Well, let's let this little bitch go today!" Rong Fei glared at Cui Jing again, stood up and went to the main hall, "Then what are you doing here, Miss Luo, so late at night?"
Madam Liu followed closely behind: "Don't worry, your majesty. This beauty Luo has no children and has just entered the palace. I'm afraid she is here to seek shelter!"
"Miss Luo." Rong Fei thought about her appearance, "She is indeed a lovely person, but who knows what she is thinking, we still have to be careful!"
Aunt Liu said yes.
Lady Luo was waiting in the main hall. Seeing Concubine Rong approaching, she looked elegant and graceful. She thought to herself that she was lucky to have come to the right place. She immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying:
"I have seen the queen."
Rong Fei had her own noble face, but she lowered her manners a little: "Since my sister is here so late at night, why don't you take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift of a seat." Lady Luo bowed again in gratitude.
Before entering the palace, she had heard of such a Concubine Rong. Needless to say, she was very beautiful. She was also said to be the eldest daughter of the Shen family and a talented woman. She must have an extraordinary status in the palace.
But I just heard that Concubine Rong was under house arrest!
Lady Luo was feeling somewhat uneasy. Concubine Rong was young and had a prince by her side, so she would have opportunities to rise in the future. She was also beautiful, so she could take advantage of her low point to gain her trust.
At this time, the main hall of Rongcui Palace was illuminated by several night pearls.
Madam Liu brought two cups of tea and looked Lady Luo up and down: "Please, Madam, have some tea."
It didn't take long for Concubine Rong to extend the olive branch to Lady Luo.
"Thank you very much for your care, Your Majesty."
What can be done about it?
In this deep palace, if you don't take sides, you will always be the one who suffers in the end.
How many people can remain neutral and keep themselves out of trouble?
The Empress is not as pretty as Concubine Rong, and she is also older than Concubine Rong. Even with this supreme position, she may not be able to stay in office for long.
Moreover, although Rong Fei's family was not that powerful, it was already stronger than many concubines in the palace.
Luo Meiren secretly encouraged herself, she would definitely not fail!
After Lady Luo left, Concubine Rong washed up and lay down, with Nanny Liu serving her.
The moon outside had already risen.
Rong Fei asked, "Have you asked someone to hold a lantern and lead the way for Lady Luo? It's cold and windy in the middle of the night. Lady Luo lives far away. Since she is one of ours, we should naturally take better care of her!"
"I will follow your Majesty's instructions." Madam Liu helped Concubine Rong massage her head to relieve her fatigue. "Your Majesty has worked hard these days."
Rong Fei seemed very tired: "It's not about my eldest brother! Shen Jue is smart, but he doesn't know how to behave. He doesn't seem to be suitable for the officialdom. On the contrary, Shen Xueyan is a proud child. He never gets angry with anyone and is always polite to everyone. He is more suitable for the officialdom than Jue'er!"
But in the end, the eldest wife was closer to her than her biological brother, the second wife, and she had to thank her for her plans.
Wang Shizheng's death made her angry forever. Even though he was just a pawn, she had cultivated him for many years. She would still feel sad when his identity was exposed.
But she certainly would not marry the precious daughter of the Shen family to a pawn. She would definitely choose a suitable family in the capital. Since she already has a prince, why should she worry about not being able to seize the throne?
"What is your plan, Madam?" Madam Liu paused for a moment, then continued pressing, "I heard that the lady Luo who came here today doesn't come from a very good family. She only has a brother who is an official in the army, and his position is not very high!"
Concubine Rong became interested: "Is this Miss Luo a newly arrived concubine?"
"How could that be possible?" Nanny Liu said with a smile, "She was not a concubine at first, but a maidservant of Concubine Ying Gui. Somehow she won the favor of His Majesty and was favored by him several times, and that's how she became the Lady Luo today!"
Concubine Rong lowered her eyes: "So that's how it is."
"Your Highness, please go to sleep. His Highness will come to see you tomorrow!" said Madam Liu. "You can only fight those people if you are in good spirits!"
Concubine Rong closed her eyes and said, "Si'er is still young and unstable. I have to take good care of him!"
"Oh, by the way, go contact the eunuch and ask him whether he thinks highly of Cui Jing... Remember, do it quietly in private..."
Emperor Yuan was the emperor after all, and he hated it most when someone was playing tricks on him!
…
The fifth day of May is the day for boating on the lake.
Yun Zhuan had already made arrangements with Emperor Yuan and Empress Yuan in advance that they would leave the palace and go boating on the lake today.
Although people are in the palace, there are not too many restrictions. They only need to report when entering and leaving the palace.
Yuan Yao was listening on the side and also wanted to go. Yun Ju'an changed his mind and felt that it didn't seem to be a big problem.
Yuan Yao did not have a happy time at the last Spring Festival Banquet due to some special circumstances, and she even felt guilty towards Yun Zhuan. This time, even Queen Yuan wanted to let Lan Deng leave the palace to relax.
Although she is the emperor's daughter, she is still a mother who understands her daughter's thoughts.
Don't get close, don't stick to me, please collect me
I am so tired of changing it.
