Chapter 433 This is simply outrageous!
Concubine Bai was almost going crazy with jealousy over the fact that Concubine Xiao was the only one favored by the Prince and accompanied the Prince to Chenliu County.
But the lessons learned from the previous times told her that Concubine Xiao was a scheming person. Before she was absolutely sure, she must not act rashly against Concubine Xiao again, lest she fail to achieve her goal and end up losing herself.
So no matter how angry she was at this moment, she just sighed softly and looked quite disappointed.
Liu Xu was furious: "You took the initiative to invite Concubine Xiao, but she refused to come. It's obvious that she doesn't give you face. She just relies on her favor. She is so arrogant!"
Concubine Bai pursed her lips, as if she had been wronged but was unwilling to speak.
She said softly, "Don't talk about this anymore. Go and find out if Concubine Xiao has accepted the invitations from other concubines."
She knew that besides her, Concubine Li and Concubine Jing also had someone send an invitation to Concubine Xiao.
After all, everyone wanted to get information about the prince from Concubine Xiao.
Liu Xu went out to inquire and came back soon.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao has rejected all invitations from everyone."
Concubine Bai was a little surprised.
She didn't expect Concubine Xiao to be so arrogant.
Originally, she thought that Concubine Xiao was just deliberately not giving her face, but now it seems that Concubine Xiao doesn't give face to anyone!
Liu Xu suggested: "Concubine Xiao is so arrogant that she will definitely make everyone dissatisfied with her. Why don't we contact Concubine Li and Concubine Jing and join forces with them to deal with Concubine Xiao?"
Concubine Bai shook her head: "No need."
Liu Xu was puzzled: "Why? Concubine Xiao slapped you in the face in front of the Crown Prince, and also designed to take away the power to manage the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace. Are you going to forgive her like this? No matter how tolerant and kind you are, you can't indulge her like this. What if she gets too arrogant in the future?"
At the end of her speech, there was a hint of indignation in her tone, and she was obviously speaking up for her master.
Concubine Bai sighed helplessly: "Silly girl, things are not as simple as you think. Although Concubine Xiao is not easy to deal with, Concubine Li and Concubine Jing are not easy to deal with either. If you join forces with them, you have to be careful that they will stab you in the back."
Liu Xu understood what she meant, but was still not convinced.
"Are we just going to let Concubine Xiao continue to be so arrogant?"
Concubine Bai said leisurely: "Wait a moment and see what the others do?"
The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and she doesn't want to be the first one to stick its head out.
Inside Wanhe Palace.
When Concubine Jing learned that Concubine Xiao had rejected everyone's invitation, she sneered.
"This Concubine Xiao is really arrogant. She takes advantage of her favor to go against everyone."
Dong Ling shrank her neck and dared not say a word.
After experiencing the lessons of the previous two times, Concubine Jing knew that she could not take action against Concubine Xiao for the time being.
Now that Concubine Xiao is in favor, as long as the Crown Prince protects her, no matter how much dirty water others throw at her, it will be of no avail. The result may even be counterproductive and make the Crown Prince disgusted.
Concubine Jing knew that she couldn't act rashly, she had to wait patiently.
No flower stays in bloom forever. No matter how favored Concubine Xiao is now, there will definitely be a day in the future when she will fall out of favor.
Once Concubine Xiao falls out of favor, she will lose her greatest protective umbrella. At that time, Concubine Jing can attack her boldly without any hesitation, and she will surely hit the target with one blow, making it impossible for her to recover!
Although they had different thoughts, Concubine Jing and Concubine Bai both chose to wait and see.
Only Concubine Li could not suppress her anger after learning that her invitation was rejected.
She tried to win over Concubine Bai and Concubine Jing to work together to deal with Concubine Xiao, but Concubine Bai and Concubine Jing both rejected her on the grounds of poor health.
Concubine Li had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and win over Chen Liangyuan.
Unexpectedly, Chen Liangyuan also said that she was not feeling well and was not convenient to see guests.
Concubine Li was extremely angry.
It would be fine if Concubine Bai and Concubine Jing used this excuse to reject her, but why did Chen Liangyuan dare to use this excuse to perfunctorily deal with her? !
She's just a mere good lady!
As a concubine, she was able to condescend to come and see Chen Liangyuan, which was already giving Chen Liangyuan face. Chen Liangyuan actually dared to claim illness and not see her. This was simply outrageous!
Concubine Li pushed away the little palace maid who was blocking her way and rushed into Yulu Tower with great momentum.
She wanted to teach Chen Liangyuan a lesson, to let Chen Liangyuan and everyone else know how powerful she was, so that no one would dare to fool her in the future.
However, when she rushed into the house and actually saw Chen Liangyuan, she couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, Chen Liangyuan was lying on the bed, her face was pale, her nose was red, and she had to use a handkerchief to wipe her nose from time to time.
There was also a bitter smell of medicine in the house.
Looking at her like this, it doesn't look like she is pretending to be sick, but more like she is really sick.
Chen Liangyuan caught a cold because she went out wearing too little last night.
She knew that she looked ugly, so she declined all visits. She didn't expect Concubine Li to force her way in.
Chen Liangyuan couldn't help feeling annoyed, but she had to put on a brave face and deal with it.
"Sister, why are you here? I'm still sick and can't get up. I'm sorry for neglecting you."
Her voice was extremely hoarse and nasal, as if her nasal cavity was blocked by something.
Concubine Li knew that she had misunderstood her, but she couldn't say it out loud. She could only pretend that nothing had happened and started chatting with her about all sorts of things.
"Well, I heard you were sick, so I wanted to come and see you. How are you? Have you seen the doctor?"
The two then exchanged a few pleasantries.
Chen Liangyuan's nose is very uncomfortable, so she needs to save some snot.
Even though she tried her best to minimize the amplitude of her movements, Concubine Li still felt disgusted.
Concubine Li didn't want to stay here for long, so she made up an excuse and left in a hurry.
After all this, Concubine Li completely gave up the idea of causing trouble for Concubine Xiao and returned to Jinfeng Palace in a depressed mood.
Tonight, the emperor held a banquet in the palace to welcome Prince Xiling.
The prince brought Concubine Xiao to the banquet.
All the guests at the banquet were family members, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.
The Queen Mother specially called Xie Chuxue to her side, held her hand and talked to her, and took off the emerald beads on her wrist and gave them to Xie Chuxue.
Xie Chuxue blushed and accepted it: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward."
She was naturally beautiful, and under the light, her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked so beautiful with her head nodded and eyes lowered that it was hard to take your eyes off her.
Many men present were stunned.
King Luo Yechen of England stared at her intently, wishing he could stick his eyes on Xie Chuxue.
Under the gaze of everyone, Xie Chuxue returned to her seat gracefully.
