Chapter 5 I don't believe she can stay in favor for long
Lady Song found the food box extremely annoying. She wanted to ignore it but couldn't help but sneered, "You don't even have a proper title yet, and yet you're acting so proud! You even want the imperial kitchen to bring you a midnight snack. Who are you trying to show off to with such frivolous behavior?"
The emperor has never asked anyone to send her midnight snacks!
Concubine Song was so jealous and angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
Xu Lanshan said softly, "My beauty, you misunderstood. I didn't ask for a midnight snack. I didn't have dinner. The emperor was kind enough to give me food."
Lady Song was stunned and glared at Su Ying.
Su Ying shuddered and looked away guiltily.
"If the beauty has no other instructions, I will take my leave," Xu Lanshan said again. She was met with a cold snort from Lady Song, and she bowed, carrying her food box and leaving, returning to her room.
I'm so hungry!
In the side hall, Concubine Song suddenly stood up and rushed to Su Ying like a gust of wind. She raised her hand and slapped Su Ying twice on the face. Su Ying screamed and fell to the ground, covering her face and trembling.
Lady Song was still not satisfied, so she kicked her twice and cursed, "Useless thing!"
Su Ying's face turned pale. Lady Song's words were incoherent, but Su Ying understood.
Of course everyone knew that she had been torturing the beautiful lady Lanshan these days, and she had tacitly approved of it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so courageous.
The beauty was blaming her for not killing Lanshan, which gave her the opportunity to curry favor with the emperor...
However, Su Ying felt very wronged.
While others hadn't noticed Lanshan's beauty, she had long since discovered it and had always harbored jealousy. Lanshan was soft-hearted, timid, and had no idea how to dress. She was also afraid to stand out, so she had never had a significant presence. However, this didn't reassure Suying.
She was always worried that one day Lanshan's beauty would be discovered by others and she would be outshined by them.
Unexpectedly, this day came so unexpectedly, and it was the emperor who praised her in person!
Fortunately, she also angered the beauty. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Ying wanted to kill her. She really didn't hold back at all.
Su Ying didn't think she did anything wrong. The palace was just like that. If you didn't fight, you would be trampled down. Especially the palace maids and eunuchs. If they died, they died. They were carried out silently without even a splash.
Who would have thought that despite all this, Lanshan not only survived but also climbed to a higher position!
"Beauty! It's all my fault for being soft-hearted. I never thought that this bitch could be so scheming..." Su Ying knelt on the ground and cried, confessing her guilt while continuing to instigate: "Beauty, that bitch is so tough today. She is so arrogant when she succeeds that she doesn't take you seriously at all! If, if she gets favored, I'm afraid she will definitely take revenge on you! You are kind and simple, but she is so cruel and scheming. This, this-"
Lady Song fell onto the couch in a state of despair, her face pale. She clutched her chest in pain, groaned, and muttered curses: "Bitch, bitch..."
As she cursed, her eyes gradually turned red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "The emperor has taken a fancy to her, what can I do..."
A sinister glint flashed across Su Ying's eyes, and she immediately said, "My beauty, that slut got carried away and wandered off to the Taiye Lake. If she falls into the water, it's her own bad luck, and she can't blame anyone else. By then, everyone will be gone, and even if the Emperor gets angry, it'll only be temporary. How will he remember her after a while?"
Lady Song's heart moved.
Seeing this, Su Ying immediately added fuel to the fire: "My beauty, tonight is probably your last chance. After tonight, who knows if the emperor will..."
Lady Song waved her hands helplessly, "Forget it..."
Su Ying was stunned and said anxiously: "Beauty——"
"Shut up!" Concubine Song glared at her angrily. "If you weren't useless, there wouldn't be so many problems. How dare you give me random advice? Get out! Get out of here! You useless thing!"
Su Ying was startled. Seeing that Concubine Song was really angry, she didn't dare to say anything more. She hurriedly replied "yes" and retreated in shame.
Lady Song shed silent tears, feeling pain and despair.
It's easy for that little bitch Su Ying to say, but how is it possible?
Eunuch Dong personally sent the slave girl back. His words were apparently instructions but actually a warning. If the slave girl really died, it would be like slapping the emperor in the face and deliberately opposing him. She would never be able to please the emperor in her life.
The emperor has no shortage of beauties!
Besides, Yongchun Palace wasn't close to Taiye Lake. How could Suying and Xiaosongzi possibly dump the body in the lake? If she were discovered by the patrolling imperial guards, she would be sent to the cold palace! But besides them, she had no one else to turn to.
Although she has a bad temper, she is not stupid.
Eunuch Dong had made it so clear that she had to hold it in no matter how reluctant she was.
Maybe, maybe the Emperor would feel guilty about this and even feel a little pity for her? Yes, he would. Then, wouldn't this be her chance? She must seize it...
Concubine Song sneered with hatred: "This palace has never lacked young and fresh beauties. You are just a lowly palace maid. Even if you fly to a branch, you can never become a phoenix! I will watch carefully to see how long you can be proud. Then... humph!"
Then she can do whatever she wants with it.
Yes, she was actually possessed by a demon. Why didn’t I think of this before?
Lady Song sneered twice, and her heart finally calmed down a little.
In the room, Xu Lanshan finally filled her stomach.
Still wanting more.
The food prepared with great care in the imperial kitchen was truly delicious. There were bite-sized wontons filled with plump shrimps, fragrant and delicious mushroom and chicken porridge, as well as several exquisite pastries such as lotus cakes, peach cakes, yam cakes, and almond cheese. The portions were not large, so she ate them with great pleasure.
After dinner, Xu Lanshan packed up the lunch box and started calling the system.
"all!"
"Dear!" The system's voice came out cheerfully and excitedly. Xu Lanshan could even feel it laughing. "Dear, you are so awesome! You completed the task perfectly!"
Who doesn't like to hear compliments? Xu Lanshan smiled unconsciously, "Well, it's okay. By the way, where's the reward?"
If it weren't for the reward, wouldn't she have gone to sleep so soundly this evening? She had put so much thought into seducing the Emperor tonight, and then she had to deal with Concubine Song and her servant, which must have exhausted her.
The system smiled, not feeling disliked at all, and said warmly: "Yes, yes, dear, just close your eyes and think in your mind and you will see it."
"Oh, okay, okay!"
Xu Lanshan suddenly became excited and couldn't wait to see what good stuff it was.
Under the guidance of the system, she closed her eyes, and a large screen immediately appeared in her mind. The screen clearly displayed various indicators of this body, such as hair quality, skin quality, eyes, nose, physical strength, flexibility, hearing, etc., followed by a percentage data and a corresponding progress bar.
