Chapter 201 Mixed Doubles
As soon as Song Zhaofang entered, all the beauties stopped their noise immediately and came forward to greet her.
"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty, may Your Majesty live long and blessed."
Song Zhao glanced at them one by one.
When he and Rong Yue looked at each other, they both showed some joy in their eyes.
However, forming cliques is the most taboo in the harem. If people knew that Song Zhao and Rong Yue had a close personal relationship, it would only cause trouble for each other.
What Song Zhao understood, Rong Yue also understood.
So none of them showed their joy at meeting again after a long separation.
Song Zhao smiled with his thin lips and told everyone:
"Everyone, get up."
Among these ladies, Runaren is the most capable.
After Ping came up to him, she immediately came forward and tried to curry favor with Song Zhao with a smile.
"You are pregnant, Concubine Yi, why did you come here in person?"
Song Zhao looked at her kindly, "I just happened to pass by here on my way back from the Queen Mother's visit, so I thought of coming in to take a look."
Runaren said, "When I was in Mongolia, I heard people say that there was a concubine named Yi in the palace who was as beautiful as a fairy and was very much loved by the emperor. I thought it was just a rumor, but today I saw the concubine in person and realized that no matter how much the rumors were praised, they could not compare to your beauty."
The word 'Phoenix-like beauty' was originally used to describe the empress.
I don't know if Runaren didn't learn Chinese well or what, she actually used such words to describe Song Zhao.
It can be seen that she is just an ignorant fool who sticks out like a sore thumb.
Song Zhaocai would not respond to her words. He just smiled and said to everyone, "Don't stand anymore. Sit down and talk."
Because of her disability, Rong Yue had not had time to reach the door when she was greeting Song Zhao.
So she stood beside her seat to salute Song Zhaofu.
Seeing that she was still occupying the good position next to the ice jar and refused to give up, Runaren quickly walked to her side and deliberately pushed her.
Then he smiled and flattered Song Zhao:
"Empress Yi, please sit here~"
Song Zhao glanced at the ice jar beside him and said with a smile:
"I am pregnant and cannot stand the cold. But I see my sister is wearing your tribal clothes, which are so gorgeous and complicated that she is sweating. I'd better let her sit."
"Thank you, Madam Yipin, for your concern!"
Runaren was overjoyed. She thanked him and sat down. Before leaving, she glanced at Rongyue with great pride.
Later, when everyone was seated, Song Zhao chatted with them for a while and then said:
"Everyone is a sister after entering the palace. I feel very close to you when I first meet you, so I want to give you something."
She looked at Yunshan and ordered:
"Go to the storehouse and pick out some exquisite jewelry to give to the new ladies entering the palace."
"yes."
Yunshan bowed and withdrew, and all the beauties hurriedly thanked Song Zhao for his kindness.
Just when everything was harmonious in Jiangxuexuan, Concubine Chen quietly stood at the door without anyone noticing.
She didn't inform anyone, just stood there and watched quietly.
Runaren, who was sitting opposite the palace gate, was the first to see her and said hurriedly:
"Oh! Isn't this the Empress Chenfei?"
She was the first to stand up and salute the Concubine Chen, and the rest of the concubines followed her lead.
"Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Concubine Chen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."
The Concubine ignored them and let them behave in a formal manner.
She saw a thin layer of sweat on Song Zhao's forehead, but Runaren was sitting next to the ice jar in a refreshing state, feeling very happy.
So he rolled his eyes at Runaren and said, "How dare you sit in this position, you bitch? Can't you see that Concubine Yi is pregnant? Are those two holes on your face used to vent your anger?"
Ru Naren knew how powerful the Concubine Chen was.
Seeing that she was angry, he immediately bowed and explained:
"Replying to Her Majesty, Her Majesty Yipin is pregnant and should not catch a cold, so... that's why she asked me to sit here."
Song Zhao was still smiling, "Since my sister's mother's family is far away in Mongolia, and she has come to Beijing from afar, and we will be sisters in the future, I certainly can't neglect her.
And just now I heard her say that the Emperor had to treat the 72 tribes of Mongolia with courtesy. I don’t know what happened in the past, but I just think that the Emperor should treat them with courtesy, so I should set an example.”
"Courtesy? Ha~" Concubine Chen sneered, staring at Runaren with disdain in her eyes.
"With your 72 Mongolian tribes, you are not even as good as the Adahu tribe, the mother's family of Concubine Ying. How dare you show off your power here?
Back then, my father beat your father so hard that he lost his warhorse and had to flee on a mule. How dare you, a lowly slave from outside, bring up this matter?"
"This... Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. Please listen to my explanation. I am..."
'Pop'
Before she could finish her words, Concubine Chen slapped her loudly in the face.
After the fight, he took Juanzi from Liuyue with a look of disdain and kept wiping his palms.
"I just hate these outsiders. The makeup on their faces is thicker than the putty on the wall. It's disgusting on my hands. Liuyue, go and teach her a lesson for me."
"yes!"
Liu Yue received the order from Concubine Chen, but did not show any mercy to Runaren.
He slapped Runaren in the face seven or eight times, until the corner of her mouth was bleeding, but he didn't stop.
Song Zhao was too lazy to look at it, so she stood up and bowed to Concubine Chen, "It's time for me to take the medicine, so I have to go back to the palace first."
The Concubine Chen glanced at her, said "hmm" lightly, and said nothing.
After Liu Yue finished beating Runaren, the Concubine Chen spoke to the concubines for a long time to establish her authority and admonish them.
After feeling proud, he left with great satisfaction.
When she was far away, the other ladies dared to care about Runaren's situation.
"Is Sister Ru okay? Your face is swollen..."
Runaren's eyes were filled with tears. She felt very aggrieved and felt embarrassed to be laughed at by others, so she said harshly:
"Princess Yi did it on purpose! She doesn't even have her mother's family to support her, and she still..."
However, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone saw Yunshan returning with the reward.
"These jewels were given to Concubine Yi by the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress. The Imperial Doctor Zhang who examined your pulse just now has already checked them. These are all top-quality gold and silver items. There is nothing wrong with them. You can wear them with peace of mind."
Everyone thanked him in unison, and Yunshan handed the jewelry box to them one by one.
When I got to Runaren, I saw her smiling again and said:
"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. The things in Your Majesty's palace must be excellent! Your Majesty...ah!"
She had just finished her flattering words when Yunshan gave her a loud slap in the face.
This force is much stronger than what Liu Yue used just now!
She covered her face and looked at Yunshan in surprise, "You..."
'Pop'
Yunshan looked indifferent and slapped him again with a loud slap.
"You are just a young lady who has just entered the palace. How dare you offend my queen with your words?"
Runaren was stunned by the two slaps. She stood there with her face covered, and tears as big as beans suddenly burst out of her eyes.
Yunshan didn't even look at her, and said solemnly to the remaining girls:
"Empress Yi asked me to give you all the rewards, and she also told you all something. Once you enter the palace, it will be different from being at home. You must remember to be careful with your words and actions, and beware of the consequences of your words."
The beauties had just entered the palace, how could they have seen such a scene?
Everyone was so frightened that they dared not even breathe, and could only say in unison:
"Your servant will follow the instructions of Concubine Yi..."
