Chapter 491 You are not welcome here!
This is Xiao Xixi's first time to come to the Golden Wind Palace.
To be precise, since Xiao Xixi married into the Eastern Palace, apart from Qingge Palace, she has only been to Linde Palace and Minguang Palace. She has never been to any of the palaces where other concubines live.
As soon as Xiao Xixi entered the room, she saw debris everywhere.
Almost everything that could be broken in the main hall was smashed.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the Golden Wind Palace all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.
Xiao Xixi asked: "Why didn't anyone clean it up?"
Su Mei replied in a low voice: "Concubine Li won't let us clean up."
Xiao Xixi: "Where is she?"
"It should be in the bedroom."
"Take me to see her."
Su Mei led the way and brought Xiao Xixi to the bedroom door.
The doors and windows of the bedroom were closed, so I couldn't see what was going on inside.
Su Mei went forward and knocked on the door: "My queen, Concubine Xiao is here to see you, please open the door quickly."
Concubine Li's scolding came from inside.
"Get her out!"
Su Mei was afraid that Concubine Xiao would be angry when she heard this, so she explained awkwardly, "Concubine Li is in a bad mood right now, and her words are a little unpleasant. Please don't bother with her."
Of course Xiao Xixi wouldn't get angry over such a small matter.
She motioned to Sumei to move aside and went forward to knock on the door herself.
"If you don't open the door, I'll kick it down."
Concubine Li: "What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?!"
Xiao Xixi: "I'm here to collect a debt from you."
Concubine Li: "..."
Xiao Xixi: "What? It's only been a few days, and you've forgotten the money you owe me? Even if you forgot, it's okay. I still have the IOU you wrote in your own handwriting. Do you want me to have someone bring it to you to see?"
After a moment, the door creaked open.
Concubine Li hadn't washed or dressed for several days. Her hair was messy, her clothes were wrinkled, her face looked very ugly, and her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
She looked a little angry, and her anger was mixed with a bit of embarrassment.
"I don't have any money right now. I'll pay you back later."
Xiao Xixi looked her up and down: "Isn't it just that you were sold out? Is it necessary to torture yourself like this?"
Speaking of this, Concubine Li became more and more embarrassed and angrily said, "What do you care?!"
Xiao Xixi reached out and pushed her away, then walked into the bedroom.
As expected, the house was in a mess and there was no place to stay.
Xiao Xixi sighed, "Not only did you mess with yourself, you also smashed everything in the house. Did you know that everything in the palace is registered? You smashed so many things. If I were to replace them for you, it would definitely alert the Shaofu. Once the Shaofu people know about it, the Queen will also know about it. How are you going to explain it to the Queen?"
Concubine Li was now desperate and said in self-abandonment, "At most I will be punished. Can she really beat me to death for such a small thing?!"
Xiao Xixi smiled: "You have made it big. You are not even afraid of the Queen anymore."
Concubine Li didn't want anyone to see her in such a miserable state, so she said unhappily.
"Have you seen enough? If so, leave now. You are not welcome here!"
Xiao Xixi bent down and picked up a small handheld mirror from the mess on the ground.
The workmanship of this mirror is very solid, and it didn't break even when it was dropped on the ground.
She turned the mirror around and pointed it at Concubine Li's face.
"You haven't looked in the mirror for a long time, right? Look at what you look like now."
Concubine Li was shocked when she suddenly saw herself in the mirror.
She quickly turned sideways and covered her face with her sleeves.
Xiao Xixi asked: "Are you also shocked by how ugly you look now?"
Concubine Li was furious and said without thinking: "You should be happy to see me like this, right? If I become ugly, I won't be able to compete with you for favor, and you can rest assured from now on!"
"When you were pretty before, you didn't see how much the prince doted on you. Whether you are ugly or not has no impact on the prince, and even less on me."
Xiao Xixi's words were so hurtful that Concubine Li became so angry that her face turned red.
"Since it doesn't affect you, just go away!"
Xiao Xixi: "I told you, I came to you to collect the debt. Even if I can't get the debt, you should at least treat me well, right? You just drove me away like this with such a bad attitude. Do you believe that I will have people come to my house every day to collect the debt?"
Concubine Li: "..."
She is really angry!
But there is no way to refute it.
Who made her owe the money first? !
Concubine Li put down her sleeves and said bitterly, "Okay, I'll have someone make you some tea right away!"
Xiao Xixi reminded, "I don't drink plain tea, I want milk tea. If you don't have milk tea, freshly squeezed juice will do. Also, some fruits and snacks, not too rich, just about 17 or 18 items will be fine."
Concubine Li; "..."
She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and spoke to Sumei with a grim look.
"Go prepare food and drink for her."
Su Mei had been waiting outside the door, so she naturally heard clearly what Concubine Xiao had just said, and she quickly responded.
"I will prepare it right away."
There is also a small kitchen in the Jinfeng Hall. Although the food supply is not as complete as that in the Qingge Hall, it is still pretty good.
Sumei prepared the food quickly.
The house was in a mess and definitely not suitable for entertaining guests. She could only have someone put a low table in the corridor, put all the food on the table, and then carefully go to invite Concubine Xiao.
Xiao Xixi said, "What's the point of me eating alone? Sister Li, come with us."
Concubine Li: "I don't want to eat!"
Xiao Xixi: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to eat, I'm asking you to eat with me. After all, I'm the guest and you're the host, you can't just leave me alone, right? That's too rude."
Concubine Li said angrily, "You actually want me to accompany you? You take yourself too seriously, don't you?!"
Xiao Xixi: "Forget it, I'll go back first. I'll send someone to the Golden Wind Palace to collect the debt tomorrow."
She raised her foot to leave.
Concubine Li called her back, bearing the humiliation: "I'll eat with you."
In the corridor, the table was filled with various kinds of food.
Xiao Xixi sat at the table and said as she ate: "These apricots taste good, very juicy and sweet!"
Concubine Li hadn't eaten much for the past two days because she was sulking. She was so busy being angry that she forgot she was hungry. Now seeing so much food in front of her, her hunger was aroused.
Seeing Xiao Xixi eating with gusto, she couldn't help but swallowing her saliva quietly.
When Xiao Xixi asked her to keep him company, she really just wanted him to sit next to her and had no intention of sharing any food with her.
"This mung bean cake is also delicious, sweet and powdery, and leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth."
When Concubine Li smelled the sweet taste of the mung bean cake, her mouth began to drool wildly.
Her eyes involuntarily followed the mung bean cake.
Seeing that Xiao Xixi was about to finish the whole plate of mung bean cake, Concubine Li finally couldn't bear it anymore. She pounced over, snatched the last piece of mung bean cake, and stuffed it into her mouth!
