Chapter 9 Well-behaved
"Your Majesty, you know that I love to joke."
Jiang Xinyue, who separated Concubine Chu and Empress Zhu with just one sentence, kept her achievements and fame to herself: "Concubine Chu, I was joking with you, you won't be angry, will you?"
No, no, no? You can't afford to
joke, can you?
Concubine Chu gritted her teeth: "How could it be?"
Concubine Li rolled her eyes, looking down on Concubine Chu, this idiot.
If the Chu family was not a good lackey in the court, she would not have promoted this stupid woman. She
always gets nothing good, and always likes to be the first to come forward, but she doesn't have the eloquence of Zhen Ronghua, which is really embarrassing.
"I noticed that Concubine Li Guifei didn't look very well. Is she feeling unwell?"
If she is unwell, the green card will be removed. It is hard to say when it can be put up again.
Empress Zhu has evil intentions, and Concubine Li Guifei is convinced.
She leaned lazily on the chair, with a sarcastic smile on her lips: "The Empress is rarely favored, so she naturally doesn't understand the hard work of me and others. Zhen Ronghua, don't you think so?"
Jiang Xinyue smiled slightly and said without leaking a single word: "The Empress manages the six palaces and cares about the sisters all the time. Is there anyone who is more hardworking than the Empress? I am ignorant and don't know it."
Humph!
Hypocrisy!
Concubine Li rolled her eyes and touched the armor on her little finger impatiently: "I have something else to do. If the Queen doesn't have anything else to do, I will take my leave first."
Zhen Ronghua was just a bit of her former shadow. The Emperor treated her as a plaything. How could Concubine Li lower her status to deal with her?
The Queen wished that the two of them would fight so that she could sit on the fishing platform safely!
Keeping Zhen Ronghua, who was somewhat similar to herself, could better announce to the harem that she, Concubine Li, was favored.
Before Queen Zhu spoke, Concubine Li stood up and walked out directly.
The concubines of Concubine Li's faction followed her and left.
On the first day of her time travel, Jiang Xinyue had already made enemies with Concubine Li and Concubine Chu from Concubine Li's side. It was not her turn to take sides at this time, and she could only cling to Empress Zhu's thigh.
So, she followed Concubine Liang and others and did not leave.
"This Concubine Li doesn't take you seriously. The Empress should punish her severely, lest she be so frivolous that she forgets about this harem and you, the Empress, are the master." Empress
Zhu sat steadily in the main seat, without any anger on her face, and said with soft eyes: "With her temper, why bother with her? The Emperor favors her, so it's reasonable for her to be a little arrogant."
After she said this, the remaining concubines in Yikun Palace showed resentful looks on their faces.
Jiang Xinyue thought: She really knows how to make Concubine Li hate her without leaving any trace. There is really no woman in the harem who is a pushover.
"The Queen Mother is right..."
Concubine Liang rolled her eyes and looked at Jiang Xinyue: "We are all favored by the emperor, but not everyone is as well-behaved and lovely as Zhen Ronghua."
Then you are putting me on too high a pedestal. I just entered the palace, how can I compare with Concubine Li who is still favored by the emperor? She
still has some self-awareness.
But it seems that Queen Zhu and Concubine Liang both think that she is a big-breasted and brainless vase.
Jiang Xinyue could only sigh in her heart and continue to play the role of a naive girl who speaks her mind: "Although I am favored, I am a concubine! How can a concubine go beyond the legitimate wife? When I was at home, if there were disobedient concubines, my legitimate mother would directly sell them. It is still the Empress who has a kind heart. I will respect the Empress more in the future."
Look!
Even a plaything understands the truth, but Concubine Li has to play dumb, just relying on the emperor's favor.
Empress Zhu looked at Jiang Xinyue, whose appearance is comparable to Concubine Li, but younger and fresher, and her smile became more and more satisfied.
I wonder if Concubine Li will go crazy if she finds out that her substitute has also replaced her favor one day?
Empress Zhu smiled slightly: "It is rare that you have such a heart. I used to have a younger sister at home, and her personality is just like yours. When I look at you, I feel like I see her, and I am happy too."
"That is my blessing."
I am afraid that even if their personalities are completely different, Empress Zhu will say so.
After all, they want to flatter her and compete with Concubine Li Gui.
After leaving Yikun Palace, Jiang Xinyue looked up at the sky.
The rain had stopped.
The air was filled with the earthy smell of soil. After the sky was washed by rain, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing a deep blue.
The four square skies in this four square city cannot contain her ambition.
She is not afraid of being used. If there is value in being used, they will give the same benefits.
If they want to use her to defeat Concubine Li Gui, they must at least make her a favorite concubine who can compete with her.
Otherwise, how can she hit a stone with an egg?
High-end hunters often appear in the form of prey.
Who knows who will use whom in the end?
"Your Majesty seems very happy?"
Xi Que followed Jiang Xinyue: "Did something good happen?"
"The Queen is gentle and kind, isn't it worth being happy?"
She smiled and shook her head: "I am a concubine. I knew since I was a child that I could never be someone's wife. I thought that if I became someone's concubine in the future, I must be obedient and not make my husband and mistress angry and sad. I also hope that the mistress will treat me more gently and caringly. Now that my wish has come true, I am naturally happy."
Xi Que heard this and showed an expression of "My master is so pitiful."
She had been following Jiang Xinyue's maid since she was a child, so she certainly knew more than Shuangjiang.
If her master had not been valued by the master because of her beauty, she would have been sent to some high-ranking official's house as a concubine by the mistress in a small sedan chair, and how could she have the honor she has today?
Even after entering the palace, the master and the mistress still wanted her master to serve as a foil for the eldest lady.
She didn't even think about how the eldest lady's delicate appearance could compare to her master's stunning beauty.
Is the emperor blind? He doesn't pamper such a beautiful woman, but insists on inconvenience himself to be intimate with the eldest lady?
Jiang Xinyue's words were said at the gate of Yikun Palace, and were heard by the emperor and the empress at the same time.
Emperor: Three points of pity have become seven points.
Empress: She is a grateful person and can be supported.
The night is as deep as water -
Emperor Xuanwu has been thinking about Jiang Xinyue's seductive drunken posture all day today. After hearing those words, he turned over the sign of Xihe Palace after dealing with the memorials.
If he could coax Zhen Ronghua to drink a few more glasses of wine, and get drunk with her...
Just thinking about it, his body would change a little.
"Wang Dequan, go faster."
The sedan chair has already taken off. If it goes faster, the soles of the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair will be worn out and smoke.
But since the emperor had spoken, Wang Dequan could only urge the eunuchs to hurry up.
There was nothing he could do!
Could this be the legendary saying, "One day without seeing you is like three years apart"?
