Chapter 248 The Concubine Who Fought Like a Cock
Shangguan Jin was mentally prepared. She would kneel when necessary and not give Consort Zheng another opportunity to vent her anger just because she wanted to maintain some integrity.
No one can figure out Consort Zheng's temper right now; it would be bad if someone touched a nerve.
It's better to curl up like a quail.
This is called "a wise man submits to circumstances".
At this point, she began to suspect that Consort Zheng had sent things to her residence.
He was just waiting to prepare himself when he entered the palace...
However, upon further reflection, it seems unlikely.
Consort Zheng wouldn't be that bored...
But as soon as she stepped into Consort Zheng's palace, a series of slapping sounds came from her.
Shangguan Jin looked up.
Two eunuchs were kneeling at the palace gate, slapping themselves in the face.
"This servant deserves to die! This servant deserves to die!"
......
Shangguan Jin's heart skipped a beat. Had she come at the wrong time? Was it still too late to leave?
Just as she slowed her pace, Consort Zheng's head maid came out to greet her.
"Madam Shen has arrived! Please come this way."
Shangguan Jin had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the palace.
Following the palace maid's directions, Shangguan Jin saw Consort Zheng reclining on the chaise longue, covered with a white fox fur.
Her hair was piled high in a bun, adorned with jewels and ornaments, making her radiant.
Shangguan Jin had seen many beautiful women, all kinds of beauties.
Although Consort Zheng is over forty, her skin remains fair and firm, showing no signs of her age...
"This humble woman has met you..."
"Cailing, help her up. I wouldn't dare make you kneel. You might not even kneel before His Majesty. I don't want to make myself uncomfortable," Consort Zheng said lazily.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jin, whose knees were already bent, immediately straightened up.
It's good that you don't have to kneel!
The palace maid Cailing immediately brought over a small stool and let Shangguan Jin sit down.
Shangguan Jin thanked her and sat down.
Consort Zheng remained silent, and Shangguan Jin, unsure of what to say, was equally speechless.
The entire hall was quiet, except for the sound of someone slapping themselves in the face outside the palace gates...
"Your Highness, it seems someone has angered you..."
Before Shangguan Jin could finish speaking, Consort Zheng raised her eyes and looked at Cai Ling.
"Cailing, tell those two idiots to stop!"
Madam Shen pleaded for them, so let's stop! They're lucky today.
Upon hearing this, Cailing immediately went out and told the young eunuch to stop hitting him.
Shangguan Jin...
When did she plead for him? Isn't she just making conversation for the sake of it?
But now...
"Your Majesty is wise!" Shangguan Jin could only offer this compliment.
Consort Zheng ran her hand back and forth across the white fox fur, neither smiling nor looking at Shangguan Jin.
The palace fell silent again; this time, not even the sound of a eunuch slapping someone was heard...
"I am here to thank Your Majesty for the favor bestowed upon me," Shangguan Jin said, forcing herself to speak again.
"What's the big deal? Just take it as a reward; there's no need to thank me."
"Even if I don't reward you, I'll smash those things sooner or later anyway," Consort Zheng said slowly.
Shangguan Jin...
That made it impossible to continue the conversation.
"What if Your Highness is like this...?"
"Madam Shen, please sit for a while longer. It has been a long time since anyone has come to my palace."
It's rare for someone to come, so let me take a good look around!
"Don't worry, I won't eat you," Consort Zheng continued unhurriedly.
Shangguan Jin was utterly speechless.
What is this? It's really like being sidelined!
Seeing that Consort Zheng was still leisurely stroking the white fox pelt, Shangguan Jin could only sit quietly on the stool.
The two remained silent.
Consort Zheng was still stroking the white fox fur, while Shangguan Jin was still looking at the sky, the ground, and the decorations.
Hmm, not bad. No wonder people say that the Zheng family's aunt and niece both love extravagance.
Any one of these furnishings in the palace would be a treasure if taken out.
Then think back to the two times it was sent to my residence...
Shangguan Jin believed it; perhaps it really was just something Consort Zheng randomly gave away as a reward...
"Does Consort Shen not understand why I'm keeping you in the palace and not letting you leave?" Consort Zheng suddenly spoke.
"Ah? No! It is my honor to be able to accompany Your Majesty," Shangguan Jin quickly replied.
Consort Zheng smiled, then suddenly sat up.
Shangguan Jin was startled and quickly stood up.
"I'm just changing my position, Madam Shen, don't panic, please sit down."
As Consort Zheng spoke, she actually changed her posture and covered herself with the white fox fur again.
Shangguan Jin had no choice but to sit down again.
Consort Zheng, who was unpredictable and whose thoughts were hard to fathom, seemed much more difficult to deal with than Empress Xu to Shangguan Jin.
"Madam Shen, I don't really know why I kept you here to talk to me."
However, the thought of how many people are watching you ever since you stepped into this palace makes me feel at ease.
When others are suffering, I feel good.
"I hope they can't guess why I'm doing this!" Consort Zheng suddenly said with a smile.
Shangguan Jin didn't know what to say.
This is purely a problem caused by extreme emptiness and loneliness.
Absolutely perverted...
Seeing Shangguan Jin's helpless expression, Consort Zheng suddenly became interested.
"Madam Shen..."
"Your Majesty, how is His Highness Prince Qin in the south?" Shangguan Jin suddenly asked.
Consort Zheng wanted to continue speaking...
Seeing that Consort Zheng, who had been acting like a fighting cock, suddenly fell silent and her eyes reddened, Shangguan Jin knew that she had accurately diagnosed Consort Zheng's condition.
Simply put, Consort Zheng is now completely letting loose!
Emperor Xiao Jing has long since stopped visiting her palace, and Empress Dowager Zheng is now focusing all her attention on the Eighth Prince.
The Zheng family seems to have ignored this imperial concubine.
If Consort Zheng doesn't make some noise soon, she might really disappear from the palace...
But she also has a King of Qin in the south...
With this prince around, Consort Zheng can't completely let loose...
"King Qin... is doing quite well in the south."
He wrote that winters in the south are not cold, unlike in the capital where heavy snow falls every winter.
The King of Qin also said, "If I were to go south, I wouldn't feel so cold as I do in the capital."
Consort Zheng spoke while smiling, and her eyes were much gentler than before.
Shangguan Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although the South is not as bitterly cold as the capital."
However, the humidity in the south is high, and staying by the sea for too long can be physically demanding.
"Your Highness, please send more herbs to Prince Qin to dispel dampness," Shangguan Jin said.
Consort Zheng sat up straight again and looked at Shangguan Jin.
After a long pause, she said, "Thank you for reminding me, Madam Shen. I understand."
Madam Shen, it's getting late, you should go back now!
From now on... there's no need to come and thank me; just take what's given to you.
You can give it away or sell it as you please.
Cai Ling, see Madam Shen out.
