"Thank you, Queen, for your consideration."

After Jiang Li thanked him, she put her hand on Xiao Dengzi's wrist and stood up.

"Sister Xianfei, please come quickly. I am so sorry that I didn't see you last time. I have been talking about you for a long time."

The queen always had a gentle and generous smile on her face, and waved to Jiang Li in a friendly manner.

"I was not able to pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen last time. I am sorry for my disrespect. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, she walked towards the pavilion in front. There were still two empty seats in the pavilion. Jiang Li gave up the seat next to the queen according to the rank.

If she guessed correctly, the seat next to the queen was reserved for the imperial concubine.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Your Majesty is considerate of me and exempted me from the morning and evening visits. How can I blame you? I have served Your Majesty day and night these days. I can't thank you enough!"

After hearing Jiang Li's words, the queen pretended to be slightly angry at first, and then looked at her with gratitude.

The queen seemed very grateful to Jiang Li, but in fact she brought up the matter deliberately to provoke the anger of other concubines.

After hearing the queen's words, the concubines present changed their expressions and began to agree with the queen.

"Yes, Concubine Xian has been serving His Majesty every day these days. She must be exhausted, right? No wonder she became the first person in the harem to conceive a dragon heir!"

"I really envy the Concubine Xian for being able to accompany His Majesty day and night. Unlike us, it is difficult for us to even see His Majesty. I am afraid that we will never be able to enjoy the blessing of the Concubine Xian in this lifetime."

The concubines were talking one after another, accusing Jiang Li of usurping His Majesty and complaining that she had whispered in His Majesty's ears to confine all of them to the harem.

Jiang Li's expression remained indifferent throughout the entire period, and she did not take their words to heart.

At this moment, an extremely discordant voice sounded in front.

"Okay, if you have time to envy Consort Xian, you might as well pray for a good birth in your next life so that mother can teach you some tricks to serve others!"

The moment this voice sounded, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the voice, and saw the imperial concubine twisting her slender waist and walking towards her with lotus steps.

In her hand she held a handkerchief embroidered with delicate patterns, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, looking extremely defiant.

Not only did the imperial concubine look unruly, but her words were also merciless. She kept saying that Jiang Li was of humble origin, and her mother was just a concubine who was not worthy of being in public, and gave birth to her by seducing men with her seductive methods.

Jiang Li looked at the imperial concubine who was walking towards her. This was actually the third time she had met the imperial concubine.

The first time was during the Flower Festival, the second time was at Yuguan Lake, and the third time is right now.

The imperial concubine started speaking harshly to her, and Jiang Li naturally would not endure it in vain. She raised her red lips and looked at the imperial concubine with a faint expression.

"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. The reason why I am favored by His Majesty is that I have exchanged sincerity for sincerity. I treat His Majesty sincerely, so His Majesty will naturally pamper and indulge me."

"I've heard that the daughters of wealthy families have maids by their side to teach them etiquette since they were young. I think the imperial concubine also learned a lot from the maid before entering the palace."

"There is just one thing I am very curious about. When teaching the rules, does the teaching nanny secretly teach some despicable methods? For example, using clever tricks and using aphrodisiacs? This nanny is really something. She can't teach well, and in the end, she ends up shooting herself in the foot. Your Majesty, tell me, isn't this ridiculous?"

"you!"

The imperial concubine gritted her teeth. Great! She didn't know that besides being good at seducing men, the bitch Xianfei was also very good at talking! You dare to laugh at her in public? She wanted to see if this bitch could still laugh later! ! The imperial concubine took a deep breath and calmed herself down as soon as possible.

Even if she was angry, she couldn't make trouble with Concubine Xian at this time, otherwise, if Concubine Xian got into trouble later, His Majesty would definitely be the first to suspect her! "Sister Xianfei is really a sharp-tongued person. I have to admit that I am inferior to her. Today, the Queen invited the sisters to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. I won't spoil the mood and continue to bicker with Sister Xianfei, lest she get angry and blame me."

The imperial concubine came to the pavilion as she spoke, and deliberately walked around Jiang Li to her own position.

When she passed behind Jiang Li, she repeated the same trick and calmly sprinkled the powder hidden in the cracks of her nails on Jiang Li's body.

After doing all this, the imperial concubine curled the corners of her mouth imperceptibly, brushed her wide sleeves and sat down next to the queen.

"Alright, we finally got together to enjoy the flowers and chat, so stop bickering and come and taste the flower tea that I made myself."

After the bickering had completely died down, the Queen spoke slowly and leisurely, making a gesture of invitation to everyone, indicating that they should taste the scented tea in front of them.

After receiving the Queen's signal, the concubines picked up the scented tea in front of them, put it to their lips and took a sip.

"Your Majesty's skill in brewing scented tea is truly unique. Ever since I drank the scented tea brewed by Your Majesty last time, I also ordered the people in the palace to learn how to brew some, but they couldn't brew the same flavor as the one I drank in Your Majesty's palace."

One of the concubines praised the scented tea brewed by the queen so much that she even raised her head and drank it all up.

The Queen smiled and said, "If you want to drink, please ask the people in the palace to come to me and learn how to drink. This will help you to satisfy your cravings in the future."

The concubine was delighted: "That's great. I will obey your orders. I will send the palace maids to learn from you later!"

The queen smiled and nodded in agreement, then looked at Jiang Li beside her. Seeing that she did not touch the teacup in front of her, she asked in confusion, "Sister Xianfei, do you not like drinking this flower tea?"

The imperial concubine glanced at the untouched flower tea in front of Jiang Li and said calmly, "The queen is really busy with the affairs of the six palaces. Sister Xianfei is pregnant now, so she must be extra careful about what she eats."

The Queen rarely refuted the Imperial Concubine's words, and she didn't mind at all that Jiang Li was wary of the scented tea she brewed herself.

"I was careless. Sister Xianfei is pregnant now, so she should be more careful about what she eats. In this case, sister, please sit down and enjoy the flowers with us, chat with us, and relax. This will also be better for the fetus in your belly."

The queen was very understanding and did not force Jiang Li to taste the scented tea.

Jiang Li sat in the pavilion, glancing at the colorful branches in the imperial garden, and asked and answered questions with the concubines.

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk to them too much, the concubines stopped boring themselves and turned around to chat with the people next to them.

The breeze was not dry, the sun was shining brightly, and the concubines were sitting in harmony under the pavilion. However, this harmonious scene was soon broken by Jiang Li's next move.

Jiang Li, who was originally admiring the flowers, suddenly bent over with a look of pain on her face and covered her stomach, her little face turning pale.

"My Lady, what's wrong with you?"
