Chapter 55: Concubine Lian and Xu Lanshan fall into the water
Concubine Lian was so angry that she was about to explode. She sneered and mocked, "They are just a few lotus flowers. They will wither in a few days. And you are showing them off? Concubine Xu is really worldly-wise! Concubine Xu only deserves such a reward!"
Xu Lanshan smiled, looking increasingly embarrassed, and said affably, "How dare I compare myself to Lady Lian? As long as it's a gift from the Emperor, let alone a lotus, even if it's just a few blades of grass or a few leaves, I'd be delighted."
Is the lotus important? It was given by the emperor!
Concubine Lian was even more furious. Not only was she about to smoke, she was practically about to spit fire. "Xu Lanshan, what do you mean by this? Are you mocking me?"
Xu Lanshan felt wronged: "It's unfair, Lady Lian. I wouldn't dare to do that even if I had a hundred courages!"
"Bah, hypocritical! I really can't stand your pretentiousness. One day I will tear off your face!"
"Her Majesty the Concubine Lian is noble and honorable. I, your concubine, cannot stop her from doing anything. I can only pray for myself."
"you!"
"Alright," the Queen frowned slightly. "Princess Lian, why are you still so stubborn? Lady Xu, please be quiet."
Concubine Lian glared at Xu Lanshan and sneered.
Concubine Yu slowly waved the round fan in her hand, looking at this and that, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I had never noticed before, Concubine Xu has a very sharp tongue. No wonder the emperor's favor has not diminished. Even I have to look up to her a little bit."
Concubine Shu usually didn't get involved in such matters, but now she smiled and joked, "Xu Meiren's mouth is really clever! It makes people neither love nor hate her."
The Queen smiled and said, "Please be quiet and don't frighten people. Lady Xu is young, so please be gentle. Okay, everyone, go away. I have a headache."
The concubines giggled and bowed to take their leave.
As soon as Xu Lanshan left Changchun Palace, she ran away quickly with Yuchan. Lian Fei, full of anger, quickened her pace to follow her. Seeing this, she smiled coldly and followed them.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Concubine Lian's eyes. This slut had become bolder due to the emperor's favor. She actually dared to contradict her in front of so many people. There was no way she would let her go so easily today.
Of course, she would no longer be so impulsive and would not do anything that would give others a handle.
She was a concubine, and that lowly maid was just a beauty, and their backgrounds were as different as heaven and earth. She had countless ways to punish and torture her.
Lian Fei followed him furiously, and soon they reached the lotus field on the south bank of Fuhai Lake. Thinking of what happened yesterday, Lian Fei became even more furious and shouted, "Stop!"
Xu Lanshan stopped and knelt down to greet Concubine Lian: "Empress Lian!"
"Hmph!" Concubine Lian raised her slender eyebrows, and her already angry face became even more murderous. "Why are you leaving so quickly? Don't you know I'm looking for you?"
Xu Lanshan: "...Replying to Her Majesty Concubine Lian, I really don't know."
"How dare you talk back!"
"I am speaking the truth. How dare I talk back? Your Majesty has wronged me."
"Shut up!"
Lian Fei became angry when she saw Xu Lanshan's pretentious look. She was provoked to rage by her just a few words. She threw all her calmness and forbearance out of the window and wanted to start a fight.
But she held back from the fight, but Xu Lanshan wouldn't let her. She continued, "It was Your Majesty who asked me that I answered. I really don't know what I did to anger Your Majesty and make her so angry."
"you--"
Xu Lanshan's words completely shattered Lian Fei's already shaky sanity. Lian Fei cursed, "Bitch!" and raised her hand to hit Xu Lanshan in the face.
Xu Lanshan screamed and grabbed her wrist, gnashing her teeth in a voice only Concubine Lian could hear, whispering, "Madam Lian, are you really going to do this? It's really not decent for someone of your status to be calling for violence!"
"Ah! Shut up, shut up!" Lian Fei was so angry that she felt dizzy and wanted to hit Xu Lanshan like a madman.
Xu Lanshan was begging for mercy loudly while trying to frantically resist, but she had already been led to the lake. As the two pushed and pulled each other, Xu Lanshan "accidentally" kicked Lian Fei, and she couldn't help but scream and fell into the lake.
"Empress Lian! No!" Xu Lanshan screamed in panic and jumped into the lake. It seemed as if she was pulled down by Empress Lian.
"Help! Help!"
Concubine Lian and Xu Lanshan struggled desperately, and the palace maids and eunuchs who followed them were all frightened and screamed in panic.
Both masters fell into the water, this is terrible!
Xu Lanshan could swim, but of course it would be inappropriate for her to do so at this time, so she splashed in the water calmly to get away from Lian Fei while screaming for help. She looked much more embarrassed and dangerous than Lian Fei as she floated up and down!
Soon, palace maids and eunuchs who were good at swimming came hurriedly and jumped into the water to rescue the two.
The Empress, Consort Shu, Consort Yu and others were also alarmed and came over one after another.
Concubine Lian turned pale and spat several times. She pointed at Xu Lanshan and cursed angrily, ignoring her embarrassment. "That slut pushed me into the water. I'll beat her to death! Beat her to death!"
Lian Fei was really furious. If she still had the strength at this moment, she would have rushed over and beaten Xu Lanshan fiercely without hesitation.
In her opinion, someone like Xu Lanshan was someone she could only bully and humiliate. She actually dared to push her into the lake and almost killed her. She deserved to die!
Lawlessness! Lawlessness!
Xu Lanshan coughed so hard that it shook the earth. She looked much more miserable than Concubine Lian. Upon hearing this, she shuddered violently and cried tremblingly, "Empress Lian, you are wronging me. I didn't do that!"
"Shut up! You still dare to quibble!"
"I really didn't do that. How could I dare to do that?"
"Shut up, shut up! I won't let you go, just wait for me!"
Emperor Yuan Yong also received the news and rushed over. He heard Concubine Lian's angry scolding from a distance. He frowned and was filled with disgust.
This Concubine Lian's nature is really hard to change. He doesn't want to see her again.
"What's going on?"
As soon as Emperor Yuan Yong spoke, the Empress, concubines, palace maids, eunuchs, and others hurriedly saluted. Xu Lanshan's sobs choked, and she looked over with tears in her eyes. Concubine Lian burst into tears, "Your Majesty!"
She struggled to her feet, finding strength from nowhere, and rushed towards Emperor Yuan Yong: "Your Majesty, please help me! That slut Xu Lanshan pushed me into the water. She wanted to kill me, Your Majesty!"
Xu Lanshan covered her face and sobbed, her slender shoulders trembling slightly as she shrugged. She looked so pitiful that even her excuses were timid and fearful: "Your Majesty, I didn't..."
