Chapter 16 Meeting Song Ronghua on the Road
"Bring it yourself?" Emperor Yuan Yong was a little surprised. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. He couldn't help but smile and said, "So that's how it is. Lan'er is really a wonderful person. It's my blessing!"
Don’t you feel shy to talk about this kind of blessing... Xu Lanshan blushed and rubbed against his arms and acted coquettishly: "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Yuan Yong laughed heartily and said softly, "Then rest a little longer before leaving. I will send someone to tell the Empress tomorrow morning that you can skip the greetings."
"No!" Xu Lanshan felt a little comforted. "I am a new concubine, it is not right for me to do this. If people spread rumors, wouldn't it also embarrass the emperor? If the emperor wants to compensate me, why not summon me to sleep with him in two days?"
Emperor Yuan Yong lowered his eyes in surprise and looked at the woman in his arms.
The concubines in the harem competed for favor with him by all means, openly and covertly. He had seen all kinds of tricks, but he had never heard anyone speak so bluntly and boldly.
However, this doesn't sound offensive or annoying at all!
Xu Lanshan was shocked when she saw that he didn't say anything. There was no other way, so she had to use the big killer!
Her slender, jade-white hand gently grasped Emperor Yuan Yong's hand, "Your Majesty, I admire you. Please accept my request this time!"
Emperor Yuan Yong's eyes fell on her hand, and he couldn't take his eyes away. He couldn't help but hold it with his backhand, kneading her slender fingers that looked like the tips of bamboo shoots, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I promised you."
Xu Lanshan was overjoyed: "Yes, I thank the emperor for his grace!"
Amitabha, as long as nothing unexpected happens, my life will be saved, right?
The smile that suddenly blossomed on her face, as brilliant as a spring flower, made Emperor Yuan Yong happy as well. He laughed and said, "Are you really that happy? Huh?"
"Yes, yes, I am so happy!" Xu Lanshan nodded repeatedly with a smile on her face. Her life was saved and she also got a reward. Who wouldn't be happy?
Emperor Yuan Yong laughed joyfully. "Are you really happy? Didn't you say you were tired? Huh?"
What a man with a bad taste! Xu Lanshan complained in her heart, and the smile on her pretty face became even wider, even with a little bit of petty arrogance that came from being favored. She said in an unreasonable and delicate voice: "Even if I'm tired, I'm happy. Or, I'm still happier..."
Emperor Yuan Yong laughed loudly.
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Lanshan finally left Ganyuan Palace with the help of two maids.
Emperor Yuan Yong smiled to himself as he watched her leave, feeling very happy.
She had just left, but he was actually looking forward to calling her next time.
Xu Lanshan returned to her residence, talked to the system for a few words, and then fell asleep, having a good night's sleep.
When I woke up the next day, my body was still a little sore, but after I relaxed and perked up, I felt fine. I got up and moved around, and I felt a little more relaxed and refreshed.
I greet you today, but there is another tough battle to fight!
Unexpectedly, she and Yuchan were unlucky and met Song Ronghua and Suying on the way.
This is really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.
Xu Lanshan bowed politely and said, "Greetings, Song Ronghua."
"Humph!" Song Ronghua's eyes were filled with hatred, as if he wanted to stare two holes into her body. "You seem so proud of yourself!"
The emperor summoned this lowly maidservant to his bedchamber again yesterday. Even if it was just as compensation, I would be willing to do so.
Now she was outshined by this lowly maid. Who knows how everyone in the palace would laugh at her.
It was really uncomfortable to maintain this half-squatting posture. Xu Lanshan raised her head slightly and glanced at Song Ronghua: "Ronghua, are you sure you want to embarrass me in public?"
"you!"
"Yesterday, the Emperor told me to rest well today and not to go to Fengwu Palace to pay my respects. I respect the Empress, so I politely declined the Emperor's kindness."
"you......"
Song Ronghua's voice trembled and he stared at Xu Lanshan in shock and anger.
This is clearly a threat!
She had just served the emperor yesterday, and I punished her this morning. There are so many eyes in the palace watching. If the news gets to the emperor's ears, what if...
Song Ronghua gritted his teeth in anger, suppressing the urge to spit out blood: "I can't pay it back!"
"Xie Ronghua."
"Xu Lanshan, I really underestimated you before! No wonder they say a barking dog bites, haha!"
Xu Lanshan glanced at Su Ying and chuckled softly, "Rong Hua, do you feel wronged? Rong Hua might as well ask Su Ying what she has done to me. Or maybe there's no need to ask. Maybe Rong Hua actually knows everything and is just pretending not to know."
Song Ronghua and Su Ying's expressions changed at the same time.
Su Ying knew best what she had done to Xu Lanshan. Didn't Song Ronghua know? Of course he knew everything, but he just didn't know some details.
In fact, like Su Ying, she was also surprised that Xu Lanshan was not dead and her hands were still intact! It was precisely because of this that Su Ying was often scolded and criticized by her.
Xu Lanshan knew everything as soon as she saw their expressions. She sneered, "You want me to die, so I should die obediently for you to see? Rong Hua is too domineering."
Song Ronghua stared at her, her lips trembling as she tried to scream a curse, but no word came out. She was a little dazed. At that moment, she suddenly had a feeling: Could the Xu Changzai before her be the same person as the palace maid Lanshan she knew? Why was there such a big difference?
They are "sisters" now, and they have a close relationship. Now that they meet on the road, it would be unreasonable for them not to travel together.
Xu Lanshan said, "Please go in, Ronghua. Otherwise, it would be bad if we miss the chance to pay our respects to the Empress."
Song Ronghua suddenly came back to his senses, snorted coldly, glared at Xu Lanshan fiercely, and left angrily with Su Ying.
Xu Lanshan didn't want to go with her either; it would be so awkward. She just wanted him to leave without her.
