Chapter 142 Slap
In front, Chen Fu and Concubine Shu had just faced each other when Concubine Rong received the news.
The eunuch who delivered the message walked quickly and hurriedly. When he reached the entrance of the main hall, he leaned close to the palace maid and whispered something.
"Got it." The palace maid Xi Que stood up and waved her hand to let the eunuch who delivered the message go down. Then he walked towards the main hall with cheerful steps.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu and Shen Ronghua have really met." Xi Que's voice was full of surprise: "Your Majesty is really very smart. You said you would let the two of them meet, and now they have met."
"It's all expected. What's there to be proud of?" Concubine Rong knelt on the futon with a calm expression.
The news from Concubine Shu was leaked intentionally. After all, with Concubine Shu's personality, she would not tolerate any insults at all.
As soon as he got the news, he would naturally come to her without hesitation to ask for an explanation.
If they wanted the two to meet, they only had to send someone to invite Chen Fu when they got the news from Concubine Shu.
After all, the Imperial Concubine summoned her, and even if Shen Fu had the courage of heaven, she would not dare not come.
And now that the two of them were facing each other, it was within her expectations and there was nothing to be proud of.
"Have you received any news from His Majesty?"
Concubine Rong lowered her head, knelt on the ground and recited Buddhist scriptures. She has always believed in Buddhism, and there is a huge Buddha statue enshrined in the main hall.
At this time, the wooden fish in his hand was knocking loudly: "I am afraid that the servants are not good at seeing things. Send someone to tell His Majesty."
"Yes." Magpie knelt down and immediately turned around and walked out.
Concubine Rong knelt on the ground and knocked for an unknown amount of time before a faint sigh was heard.
Concubine Shu is an unforgiving person, and Chen Fu was also pampered when she grew up, so she cannot stand being wronged.
If these two people confront each other, it will be a fight to the death. The most important thing is that we don’t know what His Majesty will choose.
When Concubine Rong thought of this, a faint smile appeared on her lips: "The good show has begun, let's go and see it too."
As she spoke, she took the hand of the palace maid, stood up and walked towards the Yuqing Palace.
In the Yuqing Palace, His Majesty was changing clothes in the bathing room.
"Greetings to His Majesty." Lin An was serving inside, and the servants standing at the door did not dare to stop the imperial concubine from arguing.
He lowered his head and let the person in without even raising his eyes.
After Concubine Rong entered the room, she looked around but didn't see the Emperor. After listening to the noise coming from the bathing room, he walked into the bathing room.
"Your Majesty." Behind the screen, His Majesty was undressing.
The dark robe was removed, revealing the broad and powerful shoulders underneath. His Majesty has a tall and straight figure, a thin waist and narrow hips.
When Concubine Rong took a look, her heart began to beat wildly. She hurriedly lowered her head, let go of the hand that was being supported by the palace maid, and stepped forward to salute the Emperor.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
Xiao Yu was undressing with his back to Concubine Rong. When he heard this, he glanced behind him and said, "Get up."
He personally picked up the outer robe beside him and put it on, watching as all the places that should be blocked were blocked.
Concubine Rong breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. He stretched out his hand and stepped forward to help His Majesty straighten his clothes, while casually asking, "Where are you going, Your Majesty? Why are you changing your clothes in broad daylight?"
Concubine Rong was just asking casually and didn't expect the Emperor to answer.
However, Xiao Yu's expression looked a little unnatural.
He clenched his fists and coughed lightly in his throat. He was planning to go meet Shen Fu.
After Wan Jian eavesdropped on those things that day, he has been thinking about Chen Fu in his heart.
If nothing else, at least I wanted to talk to Shen Fu, or at least meet her.
But before going out, I discovered. There was a spot on his sleeve that was accidentally stained with ink when he was marking memorials.
Although there is only one drop, it always feels very conspicuous at the hem of the clothes.
Without hesitation, he immediately ordered a new set.
Chen Fu is a delicate person, and sometimes she pulls his sleeve to act coquettishly. He certainly didn't want anything to go wrong.
But these words were between him and Shen Fu, so there was no need to tell anyone else.
"I'm going out later." Xiao Yu said casually with a straight face.
Although His Majesty did not return, Concubine Rong was not too disappointed. His Majesty has always been like this, and she would not be so tactless as to dig up the truth.
Concubine Rong reached out to straighten his collar, with her eyes lowered and a gentle look on her face.
Xiao Yu straightened his sleeves and then remembered to ask, "What brings you here today?"
His Majesty was so anxious that he had no patience for her...
Concubine Rong clenched her palms tightly, and after a while she said, "There is news from the front saying that Concubine Shu and Shen Ronghua seem to have had some unpleasantness, so I came here to report to His Majesty."
"What did you say?"
Xiao Yu's sharp eyebrows tightened instantly, and he turned his head: "Shufei and Shen Ronghua?"
“Which Shen Ronghua?”
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Rong looked at His Majesty's expression and was about to reply subconsciously.
Just as he opened his mouth, there was a flurry of noise at the door. Lin An hurriedly ran forward:
"Your Majesty." Lin An knelt on the ground with both knees slammed. "Your Majesty, please go and see. Concubine Shu has blocked Miss Chen Fu halfway..."
"What did you say?" Xiao Yu frowned and looked over.
"The eunuch brought news that someone saw Concubine Shu blocking Lady Chen Fu halfway." The servants in the harem have all heard about Concubine Shu's temper.
Whoever is caught by her will end up like this... Lin An shuddered, "That... that posture, I guess she's going to fight."
When Xiao Yu heard this, he instantly became furious and shouted, "Who gave her the courage?"
He raised his foot and rushed out almost without hesitation.
*******
His Majesty and Concubine Rong were rushing here, but Chen Fu didn't know about it yet.
But she thought she could escape, but in the end she failed. Just as she took two steps forward, she was caught by the person behind her.
There were four or five eunuchs around Concubine Shu, who surrounded Shen Fu face to face.
Four or five people gathered in a group, and Shen Fu was surrounded on all sides, unable to go anywhere.
"presumptuous!"
Chen Fu shouted angrily at the newcomer, and Zi Su, who was following beside her, immediately spoke up: "How dare you, you daring servant, block our young master's way."
Although Chen Fu had only been in the palace for a short time, she was already a beautiful lady. Compared with Concubine Shu, she was certainly no match for her.
But dealing with these slaves is naturally more than a mistake.
"How dare you block the way of the concubines in the harem?"
Zi Su's roar frightened the eunuchs. After all, she is His Majesty's woman. No matter how brave they are, they dare not provoke this young lady.
The outstretched hand was put down as it was. Several people looked around and then looked at the eunuch behind them.
The person behind him is older and looks kind. He bent forward, stretched out his hand towards Chen Fu, and said respectfully:
“It’s not that the servants are brave, but that Madam Shufei wants to see Miss Shen Fu.”
In the harem, Concubine Shu’s words are sometimes more effective than Concubine Gui’s.
The servants were naturally used to it, and following Empress Shufei made them feel like they were superior to others.
"Besides, the queen is still waiting there." The eunuch bent over and pointed his finger behind him:
"Chen Ronghua, please follow me. The Empress Shufei is waiting for you."
Chen Fu looked at the young eunuch in front of her, seeing his face with a fake smile on its face.
I knew that I couldn't avoid this matter today.
The Concubine Shu has such a bad temper that even the Emperor is helpless.
If she continued to hide at this moment, she would probably only anger Concubine Shu even more.
I'm afraid it will backfire.
In that case, it would be better to follow him.
After Shen Fu figured it out, she immediately came up with a solution: "In this case, please lead the way, eunuch."
The eunuch raised his head, smiled at Chen Fu, bent down and said respectfully:
“Shen Ronghua please.”
Concubine Shu was sitting on the sedan chair waiting, her long eyebrows slightly knitted, her armor hitting the armrests of the sedan chair from time to time, her face full of helplessness.
Seeing Chen Fu coming from afar, Concubine Shu sneered, "How dare you hide from me?"
Chen Fu listened to the sarcastic voice of Concubine Shu and thought to herself that something was wrong.
I don't know what's going on with this Concubine Shu. She seems so weird and difficult to please.
Chen Fu thought about it carefully, but didn't realize how she got the title of Concubine Shu.
She sighed in her heart, and when she bent her knees and bowed, her waist bent a little deeper:
"I just didn't know about the letter to Concubine Shu. I hope you will forgive me if I offended you."
"Don't know?"
A sneer escaped from Concubine Shu's throat, and her armored hands knocked on the armrests of the sedan chair, causing crisp knocking sounds to be heard.
The noise was so loud that it made people extremely impatient. Shufei held her cheek with one hand, and her phoenix eyes looked down at Chen Fu's body back and forth with a smile.
"You look alike your sister." When she saw her from a distance just now, she thought it was Shen Qingru.
It wasn't until Shen Fu came closer that she could see clearly.
But I have to say that the two sisters of the Shen family are really too annoying. They have unpleasant personalities and look equally disgusting.
The Empress Shufei's eyes fell on her as if she were looking at a piece of meat.
Chen Fu frowned slightly. She really didn't like the look in Concubine Shu's eyes.
"I look like my mother, maybe because of my figure shape." Shen Qingru's recent dressing style is indeed very similar to hers.
Sometimes Shen Fu herself felt that they were too similar. But, some looks are natural, while some looks are artificial.
"The Concubine Shu asked me to come over, what's the matter?" Chen Fu stood beside the sedan chair, raised her head and said respectfully:
"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
Chen Fu pretended to leave, but Empress Shufei was obviously unwilling to let her go.
She sneered, her eyes narrowed slightly and fell on Shen Fu's face: "You are really brave."
"I asked you to come over and see, but you don't seem happy about it."
If this hat were put on Concubine Shu, she would definitely be charged with the crime of insubordination and disrespect.
Shen Fu naturally refused to admit it and took the blame.
"I have never done that."
However, Concubine Shu's eyes were extremely discerning. His eyes looked up and down at Shen Fu, then fell on the eunuch behind Shen Fu.
"This isn't a servant from your palace."
The young eunuch was wearing different clothes. Concubine Shu squinted her eyes and didn't recognize him.
"This is the servant beside Concubine Rong." Chen Fu said:
"Noble Concubine Rong told me that I have something to ask."
"The servant beside Concubine Rong?" Concubine Shu's eyes drooped, and the young eunuch leading the way was so scared that he trembled all over.
He knelt down without saying a word: "Slave... slave..." The little eunuch's mouth seemed to be blocked, and he could not utter a second word except slave.
"I'm afraid this isn't from Concubine Rong's side, but from His Majesty's side."
Concubine Shu clapped her hands and looked at Chen Fu timidly: "You dressed up like this, are you trying to seduce His Majesty?"
Chen Fu, like her elder sister, pretended to be weak, innocent and pitiful.
But in fact, he is a very dissolute person at heart. There are countless ideas in my mind, just to seduce His Majesty.
Concubine Shu's eyes fell on the veil on Shen Fu's cheek: "You are still pretending, and you look like a mean person who is hiding your face."
I saw Concubine Shu's eyes fall on my cheek.
Chen Fu subconsciously covered her face and moved aside: "I really went to see Concubine Rong..."
"This is becoming more and more interesting." Concubine Shu sneered. She was about to go to Concubine Rong when she ran into Chen Fu.
I have to say, this is really quite rare.
Shen Fu also noticed that something was wrong.
Her mind was filled with emotions, and she felt that this was not a good thing. Her heart was beating fast and she wanted to make an excuse to leave:
"I am indeed going to see Imperial Concubine Rong. Imperial Concubine Rong sent someone to say that she has something to discuss. In that case, I will not bother Imperial Concubine Shu any more."
After Chen Fu finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but how could Concubine Shu be willing to let her go at this time?
Her eyes fell on Shen Fu's face. Now she didn't believe a word Shen Fu said.
"Since you're not going to see His Majesty, why are you in such a hurry?" The more Shen Fu wanted to leave, the more she didn't want to let go.
What's more... Concubine Shu's eyes fell on Shen Fu's face.
Chen Fu was naturally beautiful, with a figure and complexion that were all perfect. She has a face that is shockingly beautiful, but not delicate.
Now half of her face is covered, with only a pair of fox eyes left under the veil. The upturned corners of her eyes are even more amorous and charming.
With her slender fingertips resting on the armrest, Concubine Shu's eyes fell on Shen Fude's face: "You are good at seducing people."
Shen Qingru had been injured on the face by her before, and during that period she wore a veil all day and refused to see anyone.
Now Chen Fu has also followed suit, covering her face with a veil as she walks around in public.
Concubine Shu was displeased when she saw Chen Fu at this moment, and she became even more unhappy when she saw that she covered her face and looked secretive.
The armor tapped impatiently on the armrest, and Concubine Shu pointed at Chen Fu's face and said sternly: "Take off the veil on your face!"
"No!" Shen Fu was unwilling.
She stretched out her hand to cover her veil and said, "My face is damaged and I cannot see you, Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"No?" Concubine Shu is a person who will not give up until she achieves her goal.
Once Shen Fu refused, she wanted it even more.
"Go!" She raised her hand and pointed at the young eunuch beside her: "Go and peel the skin off her face."
The young eunuchs stood up and stopped giving orders and were about to start. Chen Fu couldn't dodge. Zi Su on the side was sweating anxiously: "Please show mercy, Madam Shufei."
"My lady is allergic to pollen and has hurt her face, so she has to cover it up."
"Allergic to pollen?" Concubine Shu was puzzled.
At this time, the young eunuch who had led the way said, "Yes, I will testify to this."
“Chen Ronghua is allergic to lotus pollen and hurts her face, that’s why…”
"Allergic to lotus pollen?" Concubine Shu sneered. What's there not to understand?
"No wonder the dinner has to be moved to another location. It turns out the source is here!"
"What does Concubine Shu mean by this?" Shen Fu didn't understand what Concubine Shu said, but Concubine Shu had already lost her mind at this time.
If just now, I only felt a little bit of disgust towards Shen Fu. Now, it directly ignited the anger of Concubine Shu.
How could Concubine Rong, with her cautious personality, dare to pay so much attention to it? There must be His Majesty behind this.
Thinking that His Majesty had destroyed an entire lake of lotuses for the sake of the person in front of him, Concubine Shu felt a surge of rage rising from her head, her whole body shaking with anger.
"You and your elder sister are both lowly creatures." Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and got off the sedan chair with the help of a palace maid.
She raised her hand high and was about to bring it down right in front of Shen Fu's face.
"stop!"
There was a roar behind him. When Xiao Yu arrived and saw this scene, his eyes were red with anger: "Stop it, I am afraid."
