Chapter 68 As the Queen Wish
Otherwise, could it be that she still wants to dominate the emperor alone? This is ridiculous.
As long as she doesn't have such ridiculous ideas, then it is better to benefit her own master than to benefit others!
Han Liu was irritated, and she also understood that in this palace, being favored and not being favored was a world of difference. Even if her master could not be as favored as Chen Ronghua, at least if she could get pregnant and give birth to a little prince or princess, she would have a lifelong support and a stable fishing boat.
Noble Bai shook his head, "Don't talk nonsense."
"My Lady, I'm telling the truth. I'm not kidding! You and Chen Ronghua are so close, why not give it a try?"
"Absolutely not!" Noble Lady Bai said sternly, "She and I are just casual acquaintances. We can only exchange a few words. Don't bother her with such a thing. Besides, I don't want to do that."
"Your Majesty—"
"Okay, stop talking!"
Han Liu sighed and had to give up.
But Lady Bai really didn't want to do that.
In this palace, finding someone to talk to without ulterior motives or personal gain is incredibly rare. Concubine Bai admits that she and Xu Lanshan aren't exactly friends, let alone sisters, but she knows Chen Ronghua isn't like the other concubines; she wouldn't scheme against her, nor would she harbor ulterior motives. It's nice to chat with her to relieve boredom.
Grace? How can grace last forever? Even if I have it today, what will it be like tomorrow and the day after? Wouldn't it be better to never have it at all, and find inner peace and freedom?
Besides, Han Liu oversimplified the matter. Even if she asked, Chen Ronghua's personality would make it unlikely that he would agree to such a request.
Don't ask, just follow your intuition.
She didn't know why, but her intuition was always pretty accurate.
By relying on this intuition, she has actually avoided many troubles.
That day, Xu Lanshan followed Emperor Yuan Yong away and did not return to Yulinglong Hall to rest. Instead, she went directly to Wan'an Hall and stayed there overnight.
The next morning, I returned to Yulinglong Hall, and soon a bowl of soup was sent to me by the Queen.
Looking at the so-called "tonic soup" that was light yellow-green in color, Xu Lanshan couldn't help but look away, feeling disgusted.
"Take it out quietly and pour it out, don't let Yuxing see it."
"yes."
Xu Lanshan was thinking about how Concubine Bai had come to visit her several times, but she had never taken the initiative to visit her. Today, when she had nothing to do, she happened to think of this and took Yuchan to Qiuyuexuan where Concubine Bai lived.
Unexpectedly, Noble Lady Bai was not there at the moment. The maid Lvyun reported with tears in her eyes: "Chen Ronghua, our noble lady just asked Lady Lian's people to invite her over. I don't know... I don't know what Lady Lian wants to see our noble lady about. Can you please go over and take a look? This servant has overstepped her bounds. Please forgive me..."
The person who should not be offended the most in this palace is Concubine Lian. Concubine Lian has a good family background, the support of the Empress Dowager, and a domineering personality. The Emperor usually doesn't bother to pay attention to her unless he is happy or willing. Otherwise, even if Concubine Lian bullies someone, he will not know at all, and even if he knows, he may not care.
In his eyes, these were just trivial matters and not worth his attention.
Concubine Lian summoned Lady Bai to come over, which was definitely not to make friends with her, and if Lady Bai was bullied, it was all in vain. The Emperor would not care.
But Xu Lanshan was different. It seemed that subconsciously, almost everyone felt that if Chen Ronghua was bullied by Concubine Lian, the emperor would definitely intervene.
Xu Lanshan's eyes darkened. She was afraid that when she and the emperor left yesterday, Concubine Lian took out her anger on Concubine Bai, so she called her over today.
Come to think of it, this matter has something to do with me.
She had close contacts with Concubine Bai, so it would be fine if she didn't know. But if she knew and pretended not to know, she would feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, get up, I'll go take a look!"
"Thank you Chen Ronghua! Thank you Chen Ronghua!"
Xu Lanshan smiled. Lady Bai was very popular among the servants.
In the Yingshui Lanxiang Pavilion, Concubine Lian and Concubine Rou were playing chess, Noble Lady Deng was watching the game with a smile on her face, and Noble Lady Bai and her servant were kneeling beside them with their heads bowed.
Upon hearing Chen Ronghua's request for an audience, Concubine Lian sneered, "What is she doing here? Who does she think she is? Let her in. I want to see how much face she thinks she has in front of me!"
Regarding the incident of falling into the water, Lian Fei felt that her feeling was definitely correct. It must have been that bitch Xu Lanshan who kicked her and caused her to fall into the water. However, no one saw it and everyone said it was an accident during the pushing and jostle. Even Madam Xi thought so.
Because she was punished again for that incident, but that bitch became even more favored by the emperor. She was so angry that she had no place to vent it, so how dare that bitch come?
As soon as Xu Lanshan came in, she saw Mr. Bai and his servant kneeling beside her.
"I pay my respects to Consort Lian, Consort Rou, Noble Lady Deng, and Noble Lady Bai!"
Concubine Lian sneered, "What are you doing here? You're not coming here just to visit me, are you?"
Xu Lanshan said softly, "Even if I wanted to visit you, I was afraid that Your Majesty would be unhappy, so I didn't dare to upset you or get too close to you."
Concubine Lian sneered, "You are quite self-aware! If that's the case, why are you trying to offend me now?"
Xu Lanshan: "I have always been on good terms with Noble Lady Bai. I wonder how Noble Lady Bai has offended Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and spare Noble Lady Bai."
Concubine Lian covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Are you pleading for Lady Bai?"
"Your Majesty thinks so, too."
"Oh, Xu Lanshan, who do you think you are? How can you be respectable in front of me? Why should I agree to you? Hmm?"
Concubine Deng quickly pleaded with a smile: "Empress Lian, why don't you give Chen Ronghua some face? After all, if the emperor knew about this, he would also give Chen Ronghua face..."
Xu Lanshan cursed in her heart. This troublemaker was indeed a troublemaker. He always had a smiling face when he met everyone, but the moment he opened his mouth he started to provoke others. What a bad guy!
As expected, it would have been fine if Concubine Deng hadn't said anything. But when she did, Concubine Lian's original anger suddenly soared to seven or eight points. She sneered, "Even if I don't give her face, so what? Oh, if she has the guts, she can go to the Emperor and cry and complain! Chen Ronghua, if you really want to help Concubine Bai, it's not impossible. Concubine Bai offended me, so I made her kneel down. Why don't you kneel for her, and I'll spare her, how about that?"
Concubine Lian's eyes were mean and full of malice. "Aren't we always good friends? Aren't we sisters with deep affection? Stop being disgusting! I want to see if you can do it!"
Xu Lanshan knelt down without even a second thought: "Your Highness wishes."
Concubine Lian was stunned.
Concubine Rou, Noble Lady Deng and others were also stunned.
Lady Bai suddenly raised her head and moved her lips in disbelief, feeling a mixture of emotions...
