These words were undoubtedly like rubbing salt into the wounds of Concubine Xian.
She went to report it? Haha, I guess the emperor would directly banish her to the cold palace on the grounds of insulting and framing the imperial concubine!
Although I don’t know why the emperor suddenly quarreled with the imperial concubine, I don’t know why the emperor suddenly favored Shui Ling.
However, no matter what, the emperor will always be the concubine in his heart! He will always protect her.
So, even though she set up the plan perfectly, she still didn't dare to show up herself.
She can only use water ling.
"Good sister..."
The virtuous concubine suddenly burst into tears, crying with a wronged and pitiful look.
"I was once deeply favored by the Emperor, and I was blessed with a son and a daughter. But the Imperial Concubine was jealous, and she used every trick in the book to make the Emperor hate me, my children alienate me, and even the Empress Dowager embarrass me..."
"Now the emperor doesn't believe anything I say. He wishes he could stay a thousand miles away from me. I am living a miserable and miserable life in this palace."
"The Imperial Concubine has already taken action against you. I'm afraid you'll end up like me, so I'm telling you this..."
"Having said this, I have a clear conscience. As for what you think and do, that is not my business."
After the virtuous concubine finished speaking, she stood up and walked out.
Shui Ling did not try to keep her.
At the same time, Fu Ping, who was holding the iced summer melon outside the door, quickly took a few steps back and pretended to have just arrived.
"You..." Concubine Xian glanced up and down at Fu Ping, looking at him with a scrutinizing look.
Fu Ping smiled and said respectfully, "Empress Xianfei, this summer melon was specially gifted by the Emperor to our Concubine Ling. It's sweet and juicy, and tastes very good. Please try it."
"No need."
She is a virtuous concubine, not a country woman who has never seen the world!
This maidservant is as self-righteous as her master, and even dares to show off in front of her with a plate of summer melon!
The virtuous concubine flicked her sleeves and left quickly.
Fu Ping remained calm as she returned to the house carrying the chilled summer melon, muttering, "The virtuous concubine has left, and I asked her to taste the melon, but she got a little angry. How strange."
"Put it on the table. I'll eat it later."
Shui Ling pointed at the table and fell into deep thought.
I heard from the court ladies in Rongxiang Palace that the Queen Mother originally liked the virtuous concubine very much and hated the imperial concubine.
But lately, the Queen Mother has been making things difficult for the virtuous concubine, and has been getting better and better to the noble concubine...
It seems that all this was caused by the imperial concubine's secret mischief, right?
Is the sorcery really that effective? If the imperial concubine attacks her, what should she do?
She has no children and no family to help her.
She had also been poisoned by her master. If she hadn't sent a message to her master on time, he wouldn't have sent her the antidote. By then, the poison would have taken effect, and she would have been living a life worse than death...
She didn't want to fall from favor, nor did she want to die.
Shui Ling felt a little scared.
In the afternoon, Zhao Xu led a group of eunuchs, carrying a sedan chair, and waited at the gate of Ruiyun Palace: "Empress Lingpin, the emperor asked me to take you to the imperial study."
"Why is it the Imperial Study again?"
Shui Ling looked dissatisfied.
Most of the time the emperor met her in the imperial study.
She ground ink while the emperor reviewed memorials. It was truly boring.
Although he could see the contents of the memorial and give an explanation to his master, the emperor never slept with her, nor did he get close to her or kiss her...
"Oh my, Your Majesty, you are a little ungrateful. You are the first one to serve the Emperor in the Imperial Study! The Emperor likes you and thinks of you when he is reviewing memorials!"
Seeing that Shui Ling was about to have wild thoughts, Zhao Xu quickly reminded her.
Upon hearing this, Shui Ling smiled shyly.
Although becoming the emperor's concubine was a matter of necessity. But...
The emperor is of noble status, generous to others, handsome, good character, and proficient in both civil and military affairs...
The emperor has countless advantages, and of course she truly likes such a man.
Of course she was happy to be favored by the emperor.
"The Emperor has always felt that you exude a poetic and scholarly air, and that you are graceful and elegant, so he enjoys meeting you in the Imperial Study. Moreover..."
Zhao Xu paused.
He lowered his voice and continued, "In the imperial study, no one dares to disturb you and the emperor."
Shui Ling laughed even more happily when she heard this: "I'll go change my clothes first, please wait for a moment. Fu Ping, pour him a cup of cold tea."
After giving the order, Shui Ling ran towards the inner room.
Fu Ping poured a cup of cold tea, held it in front of Zhao Xu with both hands, and winked at him: "Eunuch, please have some tea."
"Thank you very much."
Zhao Xu took the cold tea from Fu Ping's hand, as well as the small note under the teacup.
//
In the imperial study, Shui Ling was grinding ink, but her eyes would occasionally glance at the memorial in the emperor's hand.
"Ling'er is watching so seriously, do you have any insights?" The emperor joked with a smile.
Shui Ling shook her head repeatedly: "I, I can't read. My family is poor and I've never learned. I just felt that I couldn't help but take a few more glances."
The emperor smiled faintly.
As early as the second day after Shui Ling entered the palace, he knew that Shui Ling not only could read and write, but also could write.
However, he did not expose the truth. Instead, he kept Shui Ling by his side so that Shui Ling could pass on certain information to Prince Gong.
For example, he now holds this memorial in his hand. And...
"Oh, it's such a headache."
The emperor pretended to be annoyed and patted his head, then picked up a special paper and pen and wrote a secret decree in a very eloquent manner.
(He ordered Wu Chen to lead 20,000 elite troops to Licheng immediately to provide disaster relief.)
After writing, he looked at it carefully and solemnly pressed the imperial seal on it.
