"How dare you! You kneel down and salute Concubine Qin when you see her!"
When the personal maidservant beside Concubine Qin saw Duan Qingxi wandering around in the imperial garden without noticing Concubine Qin, she immediately became angry and scolded her.
Only then did Duan Qingxi realize that there were other people here.
She turned around and saw Concubine Qin, dressed in gorgeous clothes, standing not far away. She looked like she was waiting for someone.
The palace has its own rules, so Duan Qingxi stepped forward and bowed politely, "Greetings, Concubine Qin."
The maid wondered if she didn't know Duan Qingxi's identity or if she was deliberately trying to embarrass her. She frowned and said angrily, "You should kneel when you see the imperial concubine. Don't you know this rule?!"
As she spoke, she stepped forward and wanted to step on Duan Qingxi's knee.
Unfortunately, how could Duan Qingxi let her have her wish?
Not only did he dodge, but he also kicked her to the ground.
Another maidservant beside Concubine Qin was furious. "How dare you act so arrogantly in front of the Concubine? Do you want to live?!"
Duan Qingxi looked at her and inexplicably felt that the palace maid looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.
But she didn't say anything, she just wanted to see what Concubine Qin wanted.
Even if these palace maids were too short-sighted to recognize who she was, it was impossible for Concubine Qin not to recognize her.
Sure enough, after a while, Concubine Qin said in a calm voice: "Chunlian, Chunrong, don't be rude!"
The one kicked to the ground by Duan Qingxi was Chunlian. After she got up from the ground, she walked behind Concubine Qin, staring at Duan Qingxi with a look that seemed to be filled with poison, but she said respectfully to Chunrong, "Yes..."
Concubine Qin looked at Duan Qingxi for a long time before continuing, "My princess, you seem to be in a good mood. Why are you wandering around here alone?"
Chunlian and Chunrong were very surprised. They had not recognized Duan Qingxi before. After all, they rarely saw her.
Duan Qingxi smiled slightly, her expression impeccable. "Isn't the imperial concubine also strolling here? Even though she's surrounded by so many palace servants, she's still alone."
How could Concubine Qin not hear the sarcasm in her words, but after all, she had been in the palace for so many years, and a few words could not affect her, so she just smiled faintly.
Then, she continued, "Since the princess is bored, why don't you come with me to the pavilion and sit down and chat?"
Duan Qingxi just wanted to know more about Chunrong, so naturally he didn't refuse.
"OK!"
The group walked towards the pavilion in a mighty stream. As soon as they sat down, palace servants brought them hot tea and snacks.
"Princess, could you please have a cup of hot water?"
Although he was asking, he still personally filled her cup of hot tea.
Duan Qingxi looked at the cup of tea that was still steaming, and did not move.
Concubine Qin asked, "Why doesn't the princess drink?"
Duan Qingxi raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "Can this princess not drink?"
Concubine Qin was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Duan Qingxi to dare to refuse so directly.
"Why?"
Duan Qingxi grinned, "Because this princess is afraid of poison!"
Before Concubine Qin could react, Chunlian beside her said angrily, "Princess, please don't go too far!"
If the news of poisoning the princess gets out, Concubine Qin will have no chance of living as a human being!
What’s more, the person who was poisoned was Duan Qingxi. How could the emperor be furious if he knew about it!
But Duan Qingxi smiled at them, then produced a silver needle from somewhere and inserted it directly into the water.
Because Concubine Qin did not have anyone poison Duan Qingxi, she allowed her to test the poison.
