Chapter 92 Self-righteousness
Concubine Feng scolded lightly: "Ju Shuang, don't be rude."
Xu Lanshan finally understood. Concubine Feng was surrounded by people like this, no wonder she acted like this.
"Sister Feng is right. I have a good temper and won't take it to heart. If this were to happen in front of Concubine Lian or any of the other ladies, Ju Shuang, you could drag your master down and beat him to death with sticks and I wouldn't say a word."
As Xu Lanshan spoke, her anger gradually rose. Perhaps it was because Concubine Feng had been coming to her whenever she had the chance, and she had been patient and seemed very gentle, so even a palace maid beside her dared to teach her a lesson?
Ju Shuang's face turned pale and he subconsciously looked towards his master.
Concubine Feng's expression also changed slightly, and she quickly scolded Ju Shuang: "How rude! Why don't you apologize to Concubine Chen?"
Ju Shuang could only bow to Xu Lanshan and whispered, "I spoke without restraint, but I didn't mean to. Please forgive me, Master Chen, and forgive me."
Concubine Feng also hurriedly laughed and said, "I must have spoiled this girl. Since we have a good relationship, I didn't pay much attention to her. She really didn't mean it. Don't be angry, sister, don't make a fuss about it."
Xu Lanshan smiled and said, "I think Concubine Feng knows the rules of hierarchy better than I do. Whether it was intentional or not is not that important. Concubine Feng, don't you agree?"
Concubine Feng looked embarrassed and nodded stiffly: "Sister, you are right..."
Xu Lanshan: "Lady Feng, you should teach this person a lesson in the future, otherwise it will be a disgrace to you. Lady Feng, do you have anything else to say?"
Even if she wanted to sit for a while longer, she couldn't do that now, so Concubine Feng had to stand up and say goodbye awkwardly.
Xu Lanshan told Xiao Fuzi to send them out, then excused herself and left without moving. She was truly tired; the fight between the goblins last night must have worn her out.
Besides, she has a title, and the character "Chen" is an excellent character. She is also favored by the emperor, so what if she is a little bigger in front of Concubine Feng?
She respects seniority, but people respect her so much that they look down on her!
Xu Lanshan smiled bitterly. The emperor was taking things for granted. She wanted to make some friends and sisters in this palace, but was it possible?
Having one noble lady Bai is already an anomaly, how could there be a second one?
Ju Shuang couldn't help but feel angry all the way: "...Why are you so arrogant? You keep talking about rules and hierarchy, but you have forgotten your own origins. You just took advantage of the emperor's favor and put on airs in front of your Excellency. Your Excellency was willing to help her, that was to give her face, but she didn't appreciate it, and even acted sarcastic in front of you..."
Concubine Feng was upset, "Okay, stop talking!"
Ju Shuang said, "Why bother with her, sir? In my opinion, anyone else would be better off than her!"
"Shut up!" Concubine Feng glared at Ju Shuang angrily and left in a huff.
As a noblewoman, she had finally mustered the courage to humble herself and make friends with Xu Lanshan, but that didn't mean she had no reservations about it. Having Ju Shuang point it out to her face like this made her blush with embarrassment.
Xu Lanshan went to Shengping Office two or three times and explained everything that needed to be explained, and the dancers' backup dancers also began practicing.
Xu Lanshan agreed with Aunt Nan that she would come over the next morning to see how the dancers were doing in their rehearsal.
In order to prevent any accidents, twenty-six people were selected to practice the dance of eighteen people, and several were prepared.
The necessary props were also asked to be prepared by Aunt Nan. If they were available, they would be used; if they were not, they would be made on the spot. She was also asked to keep it a secret.
Aunt Nan naturally agreed to everything.
She also hoped that Concubine Chen would perform well and the emperor would be very pleased, and she would definitely benefit from it!
However, she had never seen Xu Lanshan dance.
The dances the dancers practiced were naturally not the ones Xu Lanshan was going to perform. Xu Lanshan kept it a secret for the time being, and no one had ever seen her. Aunt Nan and the others only knew that she said she would practice every day in Cuiyinxuan.
Although Aunt Nan and others really wanted to see him, they did not dare to force it.
Xu Lanshan naturally had her own plans.
Even if Aunt Nan promised, she wouldn't believe it completely. The Shengping Office wasn't just run by Aunt Nan; even those under her command couldn't be bribed. Of course, she couldn't reveal a single word at this moment.
Otherwise, if people find out, how can it be a surprise?
After Xu Lanshan went to Shengping Office several times, the news that she would perform a dance to celebrate the emperor's birthday quickly spread in the harem.
When I went to Fengwu Palace to pay my respects, even the Queen asked a few questions.
Others were even more curious.
Xu Lanshan smiled and kept everything secret.
The Queen smiled and let it go. Even if others were dissatisfied, since she had said she wanted to give the Emperor a surprise, it was difficult for them to say anything.
Thinking of the beautiful dance performed by Concubine Lian at her birthday banquet, the concubines felt even more jealous.
Concubine Lian was particularly annoyed at being reminded of everything related to that day, and immediately mocked her, saying, "Only low-class people would do such flattering things!"
Xu Lanshan was too lazy to argue with her.
Xu Lanshan ignored all the sarcasm and ridicule that was spread.
Those people were waiting to see her make a fuss, but she wouldn't let them get their wish.
Lady Bai knew she was busy with this matter, so she didn't bother her. She just asked her if she needed any help. If so, please don't hesitate.
She couldn't help with this matter, but Xu Lanshan accepted the favor.
What's even more ridiculous is Concubine Mo. She has the same idea as Concubine Feng, but is obviously much more shameless than Concubine Feng. She also wants to join in and perform with Xu Lanshan and let Xu Lanshan teach her to dance.
He pestered her tirelessly, saying that after all, there was still about a month left, and it was just a few moves, so she would definitely learn it. The costumes would be more ornate and flowing, and as long as she danced correctly, she would be stunning.
If she hadn't heard the incredible rumor that Xu Lanshan stunned the audience with her dance at Concubine Lian's birthday party, she wouldn't have bothered to bother with her.
Of course Xu Lanshan refused.
She refused politely, but Concubine Mo didn't take it seriously at all and insisted on pestering her into agreeing.
Xu Lanshan almost turned against her, but she endured it.
As the old saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Lady Mo is definitely a villain. Who knows what kind of crazy thing she will do?
Xu Lanshan really didn't want to fall out with her.
Later, he could no longer bear it, so he secretly ran to Ganyuan Palace that night to complain and ask for help, which made Emperor Yuan Yong very happy.
Xu Lanshan was already filled with anger, and when she heard him smile like that, and thought that the person who was causing trouble for her was his woman, she became even more furious.
"Your Majesty! I don't care! I'm about to dance for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty must solve this matter for me! Noble Lady Mo disturbs me like this every day, and I really can't get enough of her! She knows nothing and only causes trouble for me. I don't want to dance with her! If she's capable, she can do it herself!"
