Chapter 107 Asking Her to Intercept
"I dare not! Your Majesty, please understand!" Chunqi knelt down to express her feelings.
He is quite smart.
"Hmph, I think you are very brave!" Concubine Lian glared at him angrily.
If Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu had just given Concubine Lian a chance to come down, she would have done so. But the two of them remained silent, sipping their tea slowly and oblivious to the whole situation.
If Xu Lanshan had just said something soft, the same effect would have been achieved.
But she didn't say anything.
Instead, he raised his eyes and glanced at Concubine Lian.
Concubine Lian's eyes went dark and she almost fainted from anger.
"Useless thing, go back and accept your punishment! Learning those vixen-like tactics is shameless!"
"I dare not! I dare not..." Chunqi lowered her head and begged for mercy, but she was secretly relieved in her heart. Finally, she was not forced to attack Chen Zhaoyi.
Xu Lanshan couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic towards her. Fortunately, she had been under the control of the Song family. Although the Song family had a bad temper, they were still much better than Concubine Lian...
"The Queen has arrived!"
The queen, dressed in gorgeous attire, finally came holding Nanny Yan's hand and walked slowly and elegantly, surrounded by palace maids.
All the concubines stood up and said, "Welcome to the Queen!"
The Queen sat down dignifiedly, her eyes sweeping lightly: "What happened? Concubine Lian, if you want to teach this servant a lesson, you don't have to do it in Fengwu Palace."
Concubine Lian's face turned even redder, and she gritted her teeth in embarrassment, "Yes. Why don't you get up for me? You're embarrassing yourself!"
Chunqi quickly got up and stood behind her with her head down and trembling.
Concubine Lian was unwilling to give in, so she forced a smile and said, "I just can't stand that lowly servant girl who has such a shameless mind and dreams of becoming a phoenix! How shameless! I couldn't help but scold her a few times, but I didn't think much of it. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
The Queen smiled faintly: "Let it go this time. Concubine Lian should be more careful in the future."
"yes......"
Concubine Yu chuckled, "Sister Lian, you really should be more careful with your temper. Since you know she's shameless, what's the point of repeating these things in a confusing way?"
Concubine Lian choked and sneered, "Concubine Yu sees things more clearly!"
"Alas, I am only speaking the truth!"
"Oh!"
"Alright, stop talking." The Queen couldn't help but glance at Xu Lanshan. Seeing her sitting there with a relaxed and steady demeanor, she felt a little impressed. As expected of someone so favored by the Emperor, her character was indeed strong. She also needed to be more active.
Led by Concubine Shu and Concubine Yu, all the concubines paid their respects. The Queen smiled and offered them seats. The atmosphere became harmonious again, as if nothing had happened before.
However, after a few words, the Empress began to lecture Concubine Lian again, "As the saying goes, a hero's origins are not judged. Chen Zhaoyi is now the Emperor's woman, just like everyone else, so we are all sisters. Concubine Lian, you must stop bringing up the past. Let me say that Chen Zhaoyi is gentle, intelligent, and versatile, and she serves the Emperor to her heart's content. This is also a blessing for the harem. Only when the Emperor is happy, we are happy. Only when the Emperor is well, we are well! Concubine Lian, you should learn from Chen Zhaoyi. You are all the same, you should learn from Chen Zhaoyi!"
Lian Fei's face turned red and white with anger, and she glared at Xu Lanshan fiercely.
Want to learn from her? Is she worthy?
Concubine Feng smiled and whispered, "How could I possibly learn the skills of Concubine Chen Zhaoyi..."
Lady Jiang also gave a false smile and echoed, "That's right, we are in no way inferior to Concubine Chen."
The Queen's words sounded like praise, but in fact, they were putting her on the spot. Xu Lanshan had no choice but to speak, so she smiled and said, "A garden full of flowers is interesting. I was just lucky and the Emperor took a closer look at me today. But there are so many flowers in the garden competing for beauty that the Emperor couldn't take in all of them. Naturally, he wouldn't just look at me. All of you sisters have your own strengths. Why do you need to imitate me..."
The queen was getting a little impatient, so she stirred up trouble and made all the concubines target her, forcing her to completely surrender to her and depend on her.
If I hadn't thought of this, I would have been grateful to her for praising me!
Concubine Shu raised her eyes to glance at Xu Lanshan, and said with a smile, "Chen Zhaoyi is really good at talking! I don't know about you guys, but at least, I was delighted to hear you! No wonder the Emperor likes it. After the Wanshou Festival, he was the first one to summon Chen Zhaoyi to his bedchamber!"
Xu Lanshan smiled shyly: "No matter what, it's not as good as Concubine Shu. You are the biological mother of the eldest prince!"
Concubine Shu smiled, and even though she knew that Xu Lanshan was trying to divert her hatred, she couldn't hide her satisfaction.
The concubines' attention was indeed diverted by these words, and the person they envied the most was still Concubine Shu!
She holds a high position and is favored by the emperor. She is also the biological mother of the eldest prince. Now she has the power to assist in managing the harem. She is a true winner in life!
After paying his respects, he returned to Yilan Palace. With a "ding" sound, the palace fighting system issued another task to Xu Lanshan.
This time Xu Lanshan was much calmer. After all, she had immunity. Even if she failed to complete the task, she would not be wiped out. She no longer felt the urgency of having a knife at her neck!
However, after she checked the mission, she was no longer so calm...
"Okay, you're really good!"
These tasks pushed her step by step towards becoming the favorite concubine, but every step was so damn dangerous!
This time, the task is to really "compete for favor"!
This broken system actually requires her to snatch the emperor from the concubine's palace!
In other words, the emperor was in the palace with his favorite concubine, and she was going to intercept him and snatch him away?
Xu Lanshan had never thought that she would do such a thing!
Her performance in front of the emperor amazed everyone, and she was promoted twice. She also moved to the Yilan Palace with an excellent location. She was the talk of the town. There were probably few concubines in the palace who were not jealous of her. She was thinking of keeping a low profile, but this system was really going to give her a problem!
More importantly, she has always felt that when it comes to competing for favor, everyone relies on their own abilities and means. Whoever can win it is their own ability, and others can only accept defeat.
However, intercepting is the lowest and most tasteless thing to do.
She has always disdained such things.
But I didn't expect that...she would do something that I disdain to do...
What is a slap in the face? This is it!
Xu Lanshan took a nap feeling extremely depressed.
After waking up from my nap, I still didn’t feel much better, but I did feel a little better.
It's just a matter of snatching people, so go ahead and snatch them. You can't bear to give away the immunity for nothing! It's not even warm in your hands yet.
Fortunately, the emperor seems to be busy again recently and has not entered the harem for five or six days.
Since the emperor did not enter the harem, the atmosphere in the harem was extremely harmonious. Xu Lanshan wished it were so, as this way, she would not be so conspicuous.
After a while, the heat gradually subsided, and the concubines' hostility towards her naturally would not be so strong.
