Chapter 34 Concubine Shu has good intentions
Emperor Yuan Yong simply went to spend the night with the Queen in Fengwu Palace.
He is going to the Queen. If Concubine Lian has the guts, go and challenge the Queen!
In recent years, except for the first and fifteenth day of each month, Emperor Yuanyong rarely stayed at the Empress's place. When he came that evening, the Empress was overjoyed. She had been looking forward to the Emperor's visit, and since it was Concubine Lian's birthday, it was like a slap in the face for Concubine Lian. It was a double joy!
Concubine Lian waited and waited, and finally received the news that the emperor was going to Fengwu Palace. The emotions that had finally calmed down burst out again.
"The Emperor, he, the Emperor, he wuwuwuwu..."
Aunt Xi sighed inwardly and had to persuade her again with earnest words.
Nanny Xi wasn't particularly surprised by this outcome. Her Majesty had first humiliated the Emperor's beloved Xu Xiuyi, and then publicly opposed him. How could the Emperor be happy? It wasn't surprising that he would deliberately embarrass Her Majesty.
But the Empress was too willful. She wanted to try to persuade her, but as soon as she started to express her opinion, she would get angry and she didn't dare to finish her words.
What should we do if this continues?
Aunt Xi was in despair and had no idea what to do.
The next morning, all the concubines went to Fengwu Palace to pay their respects. The Empress was in a good mood, and her mood became even better when she saw Concubine Lian's gloomy face.
No matter where the emperor went yesterday, Concubine Lian would not let him go, but he came to the queen, and Concubine Lian was speechless.
Since Concubine Bai, who was pregnant today, did not come to pay her respects, Xu Lanshan had to bear the cold shoulder from Concubine Lian alone.
Xu Lanshan ignored it. Many people must have seen Lian Fei deliberately bump into her yesterday, but because of Lian Fei's domineering attitude, no one would say anything. Without evidence, Xu Lanshan herself would not say anything. But she couldn't help but remember Lian Fei in her heart. If she was unhappy, she would be happy!
After paying his respects, he returned to Cuiyinxuan. Not long after, the imperial edict promoting him to Xiuyi arrived, along with many rewards.
After a while, gifts from the Queen and concubines from various palaces arrived one after another. Xu Lanshan accepted them one by one and used gold and silver cakes to reward the palace maids and eunuchs who brought the gifts.
Yuchan and Xiaofuzi also received rewards, which were much more generous than those of others.
In addition to gold and silver cakes, Xu Lanshan also rewarded Xiao Fuzi with a jade pendant and Yu Chan with a gold hairpin.
The two of them thanked him joyfully.
In a blink of an eye, a few days passed, and the palace fighting system, which had been silent for a long time, issued another task.
The purpose of this mission is a bit unclear: to make the emperor steadfastly protect you in the midst of fierce conflict.
Xu Lanshan looked around and felt that she didn't quite understand, so she started calling for help to clarify everything.
Unexpectedly, this idiot himself couldn't explain it clearly, and only said that you will know when the time comes.
What kind of pretentious and mysterious statement is this?
Xu Lanshan complained, but she had no choice but to follow the system's instructions and wait for "you'll know when the time comes." Fortunately, there was still plenty of time, two months.
The system also told her a good news: if she worked hard to complete two more tasks, she would not be easily wiped out.
Although these words are meaningless when you think about them carefully, they inexplicably make people feel more at ease!
During this period, Emperor Yuan Yong came to Xu Lanshan twice and visited other concubines three times. Xu Lanshan was not very eye-catching. In addition, she was low-key and had a low status, so she was not conspicuous and lived a good life.
One day, while strolling in the Imperial Garden, she was caught off guard and saw that Concubine Shu and Concubine Lian seemed to be arguing not far away. This scared her and she hurriedly tried to hide.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu saw her with her sharp eyes and waved at her: "Xu Xiuyi!"
Xu Lanshan smiled bitterly in her heart and could only step forward to greet them. "Greetings to the Empress Shu and the Empress Lian!"
Concubine Lian snorted coldly, and Concubine Shu smiled: "Get up!"
"Thank you, Madam!"
Xu Lanshan had just stood up when Concubine Lian glared at her, "Did I ask you to stand up? Do you think you don't take me seriously?"
Xu Lanshan: “…” You two are fighting, and you’re using me as a raft?
"I dare not."
"Oh, I think you're quite brave! Xu Xiuyi is favored and has the Emperor's support. What is there that you wouldn't dare to do?"
“…”
Seeing Xu Lanshan remained silent, Concubine Lian became even angrier and shouted, "Speak!"
Xu Lanshan: "I dare not..."
There's no way around it. When it comes to this person, whatever you say will be wrong. Anything you say can make her jump, so there's no need to rack your brains to think about what to say and what not to say.
Anyway, in Concubine Lian's eyes, except for herself, the other concubines probably even breathe wrongly.
Concubine Lian was indeed even more furious, "How dare you! Kneel down before me!"
Concubine Shu quickly said, "Alright, Sister Lianfei, why bother getting angry with Xu Xiuyi? Xu Xiuyi, this is none of your business. Go."
"Yes, I'll take my leave!"
"you--"
"Sister Lian Fei, please forgive me when you can. We are all sisters after all!"
"You give me——"
"Sister Lian Fei is a little too angry. This is not good. Please be calm and talk to her nicely!"
Concubine Lian was repeatedly interrupted by Concubine Shu. Was Xu Lanshan really that stupid? How could she possibly be willing to stay? She would have already run away.
The master and servant breathed a sigh of relief only after they had walked away.
Yu Chan supported Xu Lanshan and was terrified: "Fortunately, Concubine Shu was here, otherwise I don't know what would have happened. Concubine Lian is really too scary..."
Xu Lanshan smiled and said, "Your Highness the Concubine Shu has always been gentle and kind, but in this palace, no one is so simple as to put everything out in the open. No matter who you meet, you must be reserved when speaking, understand?"
"Yes, my lady!" Yu Chan smiled and nodded.
The master is right. No matter how kind she is, she is still an outsider and a concubine. She must be guarded against.
Xu Lanshan smiled, but thought to herself that she was not very close at that time. If Concubine Shu had not turned around and seen her from that angle, she could have slipped away without anyone noticing.
But Concubine Shu called her out loud.
Knowing that Concubine Lian hated her so much and was obviously angry at the time, Concubine Shu still called her. She didn't believe that Concubine Shu didn't do it on purpose.
On the one hand, he had bad intentions, but on the other hand, he was helping her out. Xu Lanshan was speechless...
Watching Xu Lanshan walk away, Concubine Lian couldn't lose her dignity and chase her back, no matter how angry she was. She glared at Concubine Shu: "Concubine Shu, are you really going to make things difficult for me?"
Without the presence of outsiders, Concubine Shu was no longer as gentle and kind, her eyes full of mockery: "Sister Lian Fei, I'm afraid you're saying it the other way around, right? Isn't Sister Lian Fei always the one who loves to find fault?"
"you!"
"Xu Xiuyi is the Emperor's favorite right now. Sister Lian Fei should give her a little more respect just because she can serve the Emperor well. No matter what, the Emperor's happiness is the most important thing, isn't it?"
Concubine Lian was furious: "That kind of treacherous servant is despicable and shameless. She is not worthy of serving the emperor! The emperor will wake up one day."
