Chapter 25: Fighting for Favor
Inside the Jade Lotus Hall.
Concubine Bai was kneeling on a cushion with teacups placed on the low table in front of her.
Her fingertips pressed against the teacup, making them look even whiter and more delicate.
Chen Liangyuan knelt beside him and spoke cautiously.
"Sister, have you heard what happened at the birthday party last night?"
Concubine Bai: "What's the matter?"
"It's about Xiao Liang Di being poisoned. I heard that she vomited blood and fainted on the spot. She almost died, but was later saved by the imperial physician. Tsk tsk, she is really lucky."
Concubine Bai sighed, "Xiao Liang Di is so pitiful. She has suffered such a great crime for nothing."
Chen Liangyuan secretly curled her lips, thinking that this white lotus was pretending again.
Chen Liangyuan praised skillfully, "Sister, you are too kind. I think this is all Xiao Liang Di's own fault. If she hadn't seduced the Crown Prince to take her to the birthday banquet, she wouldn't have been poisoned. Sister, you don't have to sympathize with her."
Concubine Bai sighed softly, "We are sisters after all. How can I sit back and watch her encounter such a thing? Logically, I should go to visit Xiao Liang Di, but my body is not doing well. I have not been feeling well these past two days. If you are free, can you go to Qingge Palace to visit Xiao Liang Di on my behalf?"
Chen Liangyuan was waiting for her to say this and responded quickly.
"Okay, I just happen to be free recently, so I might as well go see her."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sister."
After Chen Liangyuan left the Yulian Palace, she was thinking in her mind as she walked.
She originally wanted to gain a foothold in the Eastern Palace by clinging to Concubine Bai.
Concubine Bai was weak and sickly, and she was gentle to others, and she seemed to be a person who was easy to control. But after getting along with her for a long time, Chen Liangyuan found that this woman was a white lotus, and her weakness was just a false appearance she deliberately pretended. In fact, her mind was deeper than anyone else.
She accepted all of Chen Liangyuan's flattery, but did not let Chen Liangyuan gain any benefit at all.
Obviously Chen Liangyuan entered the palace before Xiao Liangdi, but Xiao Liangdi was able to get the prince to take her to the birthday banquet, while it was extremely difficult for her to even see the prince.
If this continues, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will completely forget about her sooner or later.
She believed that her appearance and talent were no less beautiful than those of other women in the palace, and she was unwilling to be forgotten.
She wants to win favor, she wants to be the superior person!
Since Concubine Bai can't help her, she will find a way herself!
Xiao Xixi lay paralyzed in bed for the entire morning.
It was not until noon that she got up, had a meal, and then went for a walk in the backyard to digest the food, and by the way, she admired the domineering president rooster and his harem.
Xiao Xixi: "I think the hen doesn't seem to be very active, could it be sick?"
Baoqin: "Do we need to ask a veterinarian to take a look at it?"
"No, just stew it. It will be a good supplement for me."
"..."
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Baoqin said expressionlessly: "You are still relatively weak and your stomach's digestive capacity is limited. You cannot eat greasy food."
Xiao Xixi refused to admit defeat: "Even if I can't eat chicken, I can give it to the prince. He is coming to our place for dinner tonight. Let's kill a chicken and treat him well. If he thinks it tastes good..."
Baoqin's eyes lit up: "If he thinks it tastes good, he will come to Qingge Palace again in the future!"
"No, if he thinks it tastes good, he will allow us to expand the chicken coop and raise more chickens and ducks. Then I can eat chicken every day in the future, hehehe!"
"..."
Baoqin slapped herself silently.
I'm so stupid.
Why do I feel that the master is trying to win favor?
Although she felt desperate, Baoqin still carried the timid hen to the small kitchen.
