Chapter 40: Finding a problem

When Si Linglong and Shu Hong found Yuefu Palace, Qi Guiren had just returned from picking flowers with the palace maids. When he saw Si Linglong, he was really shocked.

"Mr. Lang, how could you…"

"I went back and thought about it, and I think I'd better consult you in detail, so as to avoid doing it badly and causing the emperor to dislike me." Si Linglong said, and didn't care whether Qi Guiren agreed or not, and walked inside with Shu Hong.

The portrayal of a favored concubine who becomes arrogant and does whatever she wants after being favored is very vivid.

Qi Guiren frowned inwardly, but still maintained a timid look on his face, and quickly followed in.

On the other side, Li Shurong in the main hall of Yuefu Palace heard the report from her subordinates and thought she had misheard, "Who are you talking about over there?"

"Master, it's the nobleman Lang." The eunuch repeated, "It seems that he is familiar with the nobleman Qi."

Upon hearing this, Li Shurong immediately put down the cake in her hand and stood up.

"Well, he didn't even come to greet me when he came to my Yuefu Palace. This noble man doesn't take me seriously!"

Seeing that she was about to get upset again, the maid beside her hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Master, don't forget that the Emperor of Linghua Palace..."

Li Shurong understood what was said and felt even more depressed.

Isn’t it just that we can’t look for that woman?

Even a person with such status as Concubine Lian could not gain any benefits. As a disfavored lady, she only had a title.

But she felt a little unhappy when she was asked to hold back her anger.

"Don't worry, the person dear to the emperor, I will not touch her."

But she wanted to educate the nobles in her own palace, and Si Linglong had no right to interfere.

Thinking this, Li Shurong led her people to the nearby Xiu Pavilion in a mighty manner.

Si Linglong had just finished drinking her tea when she saw a person walk in. She was wearing a pink dress and jade hairpins, and was obviously the master of the palace.

Si Linglong didn't recognize the person, and her mind subconsciously tilted towards Shu Hong.

Shu Hong was very understanding and whispered in her ear, "This is the master of Yuefu Palace, Li Shurong."

I also went to Linghua Palace to pay my respects this morning.

Li Shurong saw the little movements of the master and servant and raised her chin slightly, "Lang Guiren is now favored. When he came to my Yuefu Palace, he didn't even think about me being the master of Yuefu Palace."

Si Linglong then remembered that not all concubines in the harem lived in a separate courtyard. The one in front of her, Li Shurong, was the mistress, and in name only she was in charge of Guiren Qi.

I guess I didn't pay my respects to the host when I arrived at his house, so I came here.

Si Linglong was not familiar with the harem rules and did not want to cause trouble, so she stood up obediently, knelt down and saluted Li Shurong, and said politely, "Greetings to Li Shurong. I am sorry for being rude, and I hope Madam Shurong will not blame me."

Seeing that her attitude was quite respectful, Li Shurong didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she just snorted and looked at Mr. Qi beside her.

"Mr. Qi, have you finished copying the scriptures I asked you to copy for me?"

When Qi Guiren heard this, her delicate little face was full of panic, and she whispered, "Scriptures... When will my sister let me copy scriptures..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was scolded by Li Shurong, "How dare you! You even forgot my instructions. Could it be that you have hooked up with someone who is spoiled, so that even I can't say anything!"

Qi Guiren's face turned pale and he looked more and more at a loss, "But, my sister really doesn't remember..."

"If you don't remember, then copy it now. I'll watch you copy!"

As Li Shurong spoke, she lifted her legs and sat down on the main seat, looking as if she was going to punish someone on the spot.

She indeed didn't give any instructions, but so what? She is Shurong. If she says you forgot, then you forgot. She just wanted Si Linglong to take a good look. This is her right as Shurong.

Si Linglong was not stupid, so she could naturally see that this person was deliberately looking for trouble.

Moreover, it seemed as if it was specially found for her to see.

Si Linglong said that she didn't really understand this kind of mentality, but she still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Qi Guiren's aggrieved and tolerant look.

Why should women make things difficult for other women?

He opened his mouth and was about to say something for Mr. Qi, but when the words came to his lips he suddenly thought of something.

[Wait, in this situation, isn't it God who is helping me? ]

She was just trying to find an excuse to go and take a look behind the house!

Thinking of this, Si Linglong suddenly slammed the table and stood up. The movement was so loud that Li Shurong, who was standing with her back straight, was startled and she subconsciously shrank back.

She, what is she going to do?!
