Chapter 46 Meeting on a narrow road
No matter how much favor he has shown me, I would not even bother to fight for that heartless man.
The emperor can come if he wants to, and can leave if he doesn’t want to.
Shen Meizhuang was the first to squat down, "I will follow the instructions of Concubine Hua and will not do anything jealous to bother you."
How can a person who treats himself as a kitten, puppy or toy return to Zhao intact?
She doesn't even bother to compete for favor.
An Lingrong’s ability to read eye contact is still not good enough, but she can understand.
She readily followed the advice, "I will follow your instructions, Madam, and will not dare to disobey."
Although both of them were promised, Yu Ying'er, who was in the prime of her life, could indeed have a higher status than An Lingrong. However, seeing that Concubine Hua seemed to value An Lingrong very much, she did not dare to act rashly.
Yu Ying'er glanced around and said, "It's the same for me, concubine."
[If everyone in the harem was so obedient, how could there be such a mess? ]
Nian Shilan looked at the three people squatting on the ground, and couldn't help but think of the things that happened during her past life when she was restricted to being a royal concubine.
[The same scolding, that bitch Zhen Huan, she knew she was pregnant and knew that I had a bad temper, but she still insisted on contradicting me everywhere, like a big goose, sticking her neck out, afraid that I would not punish her.
Bitch! If she had been willing to lower her head, be submissive, and admit her mistakes, why would I have been used as a gun and punished so severely? 】
Nian Shilan thought so, but she actually knew that she was wrong that day.
But the pride in her heart wouldn't let her admit it.
"No flower stays red for a hundred days, no person stays happy for a thousand days. Today you are a favored concubine, but tomorrow you may become a bird in a cage or a prisoner. This is what the harem is like. If you understand this principle earlier, you will suffer less."
Nian Shilan raised her hand, and An Lingrong immediately picked up the golden armor with gemstones and kingfisher feathers beside her and put it on her.
【There is work in the eyes, and people like it. 】
An Lingrong smiled shyly.
"Let's go." Nian Shilan took Songzhi's hand, "Let's go and pay our respects to the Empress."
The group left the Yikun Palace.
Nian Shilan got on the sedan chair, and Shen Meizhuang and the other two stood on both sides of the sedan chair.
Concubine Li and Noble Lady Cao, who had just arrived at the gate of the Yikun Palace, looked unhappy as they watched the ceremony go away.
"An and Yu were born in humble families, so it would have been fine for them to seek support from Concubine Hua, but why is Shen trying to climb up the social ladder?" Lipin said dissatisfiedly.
Shen Meizhuang was born in a family of military generals, so why would she rush to curry favor with Concubine Hua?
Cao Qin was confused, but she didn't show it on her face. "Empress Hua is the most powerful person in the harem. Even the Empress has to avoid her and give her fancy clothes to curry favor with her. What about Noble Shen?"
It wasn't that Lipin was unhappy with these people fawning on Huafei, it was that these people had occupied all the positions around Huafei, leaving Lipin with no place to stand.
Behind them, Sun Miaoqing watched this scene from afar.
She saw an opportunity to bring Lipin and Cao Qinmo under control.
...Let’s forget about Lipin.
It's useless except to curse the eunuch as he is a rootless person.
Don't want her.
As for Cao Qinmo, she is also a key figure in overthrowing Concubine Hua.
The destined traitor!
That day, the long street was covered with snow.
Sun Miaoqing came back from Suiyuxuan and saw Yu Ying'er coming towards her in a sedan chair from afar.
A few dozen steps away, the figure was Shen Meizhuang.
Sun Miaoqing knew this scene: Yu Ying'er was arrogant because of her favor, and she bowed on the sedan chair and only agreed to let Shen Meizhuang, a noble, make way for her.
No respect for superiors or inferiors.
I used to watch it through the screen, but today I saw it with my own eyes.
She couldn't help but stop.
Who knew that Yu Ying'er got off the sedan chair, bowed respectfully to Shen Meizhuang, and then stepped aside to let Shen Meizhuang go first.
"How could this happen?"
Sun Miaoqing briefly suspected that she was shortsighted and had seen things wrong. She took two steps forward and faced the person head on.
It was indeed the spicy rabbit head.
"Greetings to Gong Changzai."
Sun Miaoqing: !!!
The rabbit head actually sat on the sedan chair and saluted himself.
Unexpectedly, the plot that originally belonged to Shen Meizhuang was forced upon herself.
This was the second time that he had to bear the brunt of the plot for Shen Meizhuang.
Damn it!
The last time she was splashed with water by the eunuch for being late, the people in the room were of higher status than her, and Sun Miaoqing didn't dare to say much. Now! Yu Ying'er only agreed -
He will be stripped of his title in the early spring and will be killed as cannon fodder soon.
If you endure it for a while, you will get ovarian cysts; if you take a step back, you will get breast hyperplasia.
She would never be like that pustule Shen Meizhuang, who allowed herself to be bullied by Yu Ying'er.
"The emperor has always liked people who are well-mannered. My sister has been serving in the palace since she was young. She should know the basic principles of respect and hierarchy, right?" Sun Miaoqing said.
When small people gain power too quickly, they are most likely to forget their own identities.
Yu Ying'er was polite to Shen Meizhuang all her life because they were both Hua Fei's relatives and she received Hua Fei's instructions.
But for Sun Miaoqing - there is no need to do that.
Concubine Hua doesn't like her.
What's more, this bitch actually dared to claim that she was born a palace maid. Who does she think she is to be worthy?
"It's cold and the ground is slippery. The emperor was afraid that I would fall, so he specially rewarded me with a sedan chair. Sister, are you going to go against the emperor's wishes?"
Using the emperor to put pressure on others?
Would Sun Miaoqing be afraid of her?
"Oh? What you mean, sister..." Sun Miaoqing refused to give in, "Is it that the emperor ordered that when you meet someone of higher status than yourself, you don't have to get off the sedan chair to pay respects?"
Yu Ying'er avoided answering, "Sister Changzai, I just came from Concubine Hua's place and want to go to pay my respects to the Empress. I wonder if you can let me go first?"
Sun Miaoqing thought she was just an NPC. No matter what she said, it was just the same few lines.
"What if I say no?"
Yu Ying'er sat on the sedan chair, her eyes wide open with anger, and she shrieked:
"Go straight ahead!"
The long street is wide, which does not hinder two people from walking side by side.
The palace maids obeyed the order and carried the sedan chair past Sun Miaoqing.
"I agreed."
Yu Ying'er raised her hand, and the sedan chair stopped.
"Don't forget how you got to where you are today."
"Sister, your glory today is naturally a gift from the Emperor."
As the sedan chair went away, the maid Luzhu spat at Yuying'er's back.
"The villain is successful! Without my lady, how could she be where she is today? She repays kindness with hatred! She will be punished sooner or later. My lady, there is no need to be angry with such a despicable person."
"Why should I be angry with her?" Sun Miaoqing turned sideways and looked at Yu Ying'er, "Cannon fodders all have such tempers. I'm waiting to see the day when she falls off the sedan chair!"
But she had a bad temper and couldn't stand it.
Recalling that after Zhen Huan returned from Ganlu Temple, she almost fell off the sedan chair. At that time, Zhen Huan cleverly told the emperor about this.
Sun Miaoqing decided to do the same.
After all, Yu Ying'er is just a palace maid. How could the emperor favor her?
