Chapter 102 Ambitious
"My lady, please get up first. The ground is cold."
Yingxiang wanted to go forward to support Concubine Chen, but was pushed aside by her.
The concubine stood up by herself, holding onto the corner of the table, with her usual rebellious expression on her face.
"Song Zhao, this bitch! I'm going to teach her a lesson and let her know how powerful I am!"
She said something so vicious that Concubine Xiao was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe.
After she left, Shu Fei saw that Concubine Xiao's face was a little pale, so she held her hand and asked:
"Why are your hands so cold? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Concubine Xiao shook her head awkwardly.
It can be seen that she has been very afraid of Concubine Chen since the last time she encountered a snake in Meiyuan.
Shu Fei advised: "I think you are scared. Don't be afraid. The one who offended the emperor was Chen Fei, and the one who offended Chen Fei was Song Chang... Concubine Song. No matter how you look at it, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't think too much."
As he spoke, he naturally placed his hand on Concubine Xiao's belly, "You are pregnant. Today's big things are not as important as the safety of the royal heir in your belly. Do you understand?"
Concubine Xiao nodded timidly, "Thank you, Madam Shufei."
Shu Fei took her arm and said she would take her back to her residence.
Halfway through the journey, she suddenly sighed, "Alas, looking at the way Concubine Chen is acting, she probably can't tolerate Concubine Song. Concubine Song has suddenly gained the emperor's favor, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."
Concubine Xiao said, "The Concubine Chen is jealous, but this is right under the Emperor's nose, so I don't think she would dare to do anything excessive, right?"
Shu Fei said: "You entered the palace late, so you don't know many things. There was a noble lady named Yang in the palace before. She was as well-educated, gentle and quiet as Noble Lady Song, and was also very popular with the emperor. But just because she offended Concubine Chen, she suddenly went crazy without any signs. There were also absurd things like running around the streets with unkempt hair and a bellyband. The imperial physician went to see her but could not find any clues. Later, she actually drank cinnabar and committed suicide in the palace..."
As she spoke, she saw that Concubine Xiao's face was beginning to look ugly again, so she quickly changed the subject and said:
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. The mother's family of the Concubine Chen is powerful, and the Emperor still has to give her some face. How dare we interfere in her affairs? Just focus on living a good life in front of you."
On the other side, Xiao Jingheng also sent Song Zhao back to her residence.
All the way against the wind, Xiao Jingheng carefully protected Song Zhao behind him, and his love for her was visible to the naked eye.
After returning to the room, Song Zhao took the initiative to hold Xiao Jingheng's hand, warming it in her small white palm.
"Your Majesty has been protecting me all the way, but you have to stand in the cold wind. Yunshan, go and heat up some brown sugar ginger tea to help your Majesty get rid of the cold."
"Stop working, I'm not made of paper." Xiao Jingheng held Song Zhao's hand with his backhand and said gently, "I can protect you for a while, but I can't always be by your side. Most of the time, you have to learn to protect yourself, understand?"
Song Zhao nodded slowly, "I understand."
"What do you understand?" Xiao Jingheng smiled and took her into his arms, "You are the most confused one. I feel distressed when I see how Concubine Chen treated you just now. She is a concubine, you can respect her, but you can't let others bully you at will."
Song Zhao said in a delicate voice: "I know."
She leaned in Xiao Jingheng's arms, her hands tightly around his thin and tight waist, like a little bird relying on others.
"As long as the emperor is here, I am not afraid of anything. In fact, today's incident cannot be entirely blamed on the Empress Chen. My mother was convicted and did so many wrong things that only added to the emperor's troubles. The Empress Chen cares about the emperor, so naturally she can't bear to see the emperor upset. Love for the house and care for the dog, so the Empress is angry with me."
Xiao Jingheng said: "She likes to be petty, but she is not a bad person. It's just that she really went too far this time. I have to ignore her for two days and let her reflect on it."
Song Zhao was tactful and could tell that Xiao Jingheng didn't want to talk about the Concubine Chen at the moment, so he simply stopped talking.
"Your Majesty, would you like to try my cooking for dinner?"
She suddenly raised her eyes, her bright eyes sparkling with enchanting light, "I promised the Queen Mother that I would prepare a vegetarian meal in Xiuzhu Hall tonight. Your Majesty, please come too?"
Xiao Jingheng lowered his head and moved closer to her, rubbing his tall nose against her forehead, "Of course what you cook is good, I also want to taste your vegetarian cooking skills."
After that, he deliberately lowered his voice and whispered in an indecent hoarse voice: "We had a vegetarian dinner, so it's time to eat meat tonight?"
Song Zhao couldn't bear to hear these dirty words, and immediately blushed with shame.
She patted Xiao Jingheng's chest lightly and said coquettishly:
"Your Majesty always wants to do that to me. He knows that I am very shy, but he still has to say these words to tease me..."
"Shy? Hahaha~" Xiao Jingheng laughed wantonly, holding Song Zhao's waist with his broad hands, letting her fall backwards in his arms, "You were the one who told me not to turn off the lights, and you were also the one who told me not to come out, and now you tell me you're shy?"
He tickled the girl's side, making her laugh. "Let me see how shy you are."
The curtains were lowered, the palace ladies retreated,
The warmth, fragrance and softness of this beautiful woman is right before your eyes. It would be a shame if you don't cherish her.
It was time for Song Zhao to let Xiao Jingheng have his fun.
After all, she got what she wanted.
Although she knew from the beginning that when she returned to the hot spring villa this time, Xiao Jingheng would definitely raise her position.
After she returned to the hot spring villa, she began to plan the next game of chess:
The more Concubine Chen tried to win over Concubine Shu and Noble Lady Xiao to squeeze her out, the more she went to see them every day, only to be turned away every day.
Because she knew that these things would always reach Xiao Jingheng's ears in a way she could not expect, making Xiao Jingheng feel that she was both sincere and pitiable.
And letting Xiao Yinzi go to Lianxintai to pick flowers was actually to let Xiao Yinzi see how Concubine Chen was making things difficult for her.
Xiao Yinzi sent Song Zhao brown sugar ginger tea every day. He naturally knew how important Song Zhao was in Xiao Jingheng's heart.
Seeing Song Zhao being humiliated, he would definitely tell Xiao Jingheng about it.
When Xiao Jingheng goes to Lianxintai, he will definitely stop Concubine Chen from bullying Song Zhao.
All of this was caused by the fact that Jiang was convicted of a crime by the court, which is why even the concubines disliked Song Zhao.
Xiao Jingheng wanted to help Song Zhao out of trouble and clear her name. The simplest and most direct way was to raise her status.
Anyway, he had this idea before, and with the current relationship between the Queen Mother and Song Zhao, it was impossible to stop him.
So all of this seems to be very logical.
Therefore, this status was never given to Song Zhao by Xiao Jingheng.
But she fought for it herself.
Of course, her ambition is far more than just a small noble.
Song Zhao was going to turn the whole harem upside down.
To make everyone kneel before her,
Be respectful to her and bow down to her.
That's what a relief!
