Concubine Lin, who was hiding in the dark behind the rockery in the imperial garden, had a face that was distorted by jealousy.
Her eyes were fixed on His Majesty and Concubine Shu, and the jealousy in her eyes was like a flame that was about to burst out and turn into substance.
He bit his lower lip so hard that it almost drew blood. His hands were clenched into fists at his sides, and his body was trembling slightly with anger.
Under Ling's instigation, Concubine Lin really believed that His Majesty loved the Queen deeply, so she conspired with Ling to murder the eldest prince.
But who could have thought that in the end, she would end up losing more than she gained. Ling was simply a complete fool! Not only did she end up in the cold palace, but she also got herself into trouble.
Although Ling's schemes did not involve her, the Queen had clearly sent people to find her, and the Queen had all the evidence of her conspiracy with Ling.
Now, every time when she went to pay her respects in the morning, Concubine Lin would feel terrified when she saw the queen's meaningful smile, and she always felt that the queen would kill her mercilessly the next day.
But what is happening now?
Doesn’t Your Majesty love the Queen deeply?
Haven't you always been willing to be close to the Queen?
But how did this Concubine Shu appear?
Not only has Concubine Shu been able to stay in the Qianqing Palace every day these days, but today His Majesty even took her for a walk in the Imperial Garden and affectionately pinned flowers on her head.
His Majesty's love for the Queen might be due to her beauty, her long-standing companionship, or the eldest prince...
But why is Your Majesty treating Concubine Shu the right person?
Apart from liking her, Lin Fei couldn't think of any other reason.
Am I really not as good as Concubine Shu?
What is so special about Concubine Shu that makes His Majesty like her so much?
His Majesty even neglected the Queen for the sake of Concubine Shu!
The more Lin Fei thought about it, the more unwilling she felt, and the resentment in her heart continued to accumulate.
Changle Palace.
"Bang!" A crisp and loud sound suddenly rang out in the main hall of Changle Palace.
The exquisite vase shattered into pieces in an instant, and the fragments scattered all over the ground.
Yuqi looked at his master who was almost crazy at this time, and was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to persuade him.
Fortunately, Yuqi knew that his master had been in a bad mood recently, so he drove everyone out of the hall as soon as he came back.
At this moment, there were only Concubine Lin and Yuqi in the hall.
At this moment, Concubine Lin vented out the anger that had been suppressed in her heart in the Imperial Garden without any scruples.
Her eyes widened, her face flushed, her chest heaved violently, and then she nonchalantly overturned the delicate screen beside her.
Princess Lin's family was not short of money, so naturally she would not feel sorry for these precious items.
Seeing her master like this, Yuqi felt that her master before and after entering the palace seemed to have become two different people. The master after entering the palace cared too much about the favor of His Majesty...
"Master, His Majesty is only temporarily attracted to Concubine Shu. When you first entered the palace, you were the most favored among the newcomers, no less favored than the current Concubine Shu."
"When His Majesty tires of Concubine Shu, He will surely summon you to His Majesty's palace."
Yuqi was trying to persuade him cautiously, with an anxious and worried look on her face.
However, after hearing this, Concubine Lin became even more furious. Yuqi knew nothing!
What was the little favor she once received? At most, she was just a humble maid in front of His Majesty.
But what about the Queen and Consort Shu?
That must be your Majesty's sweetheart!
Even Concubine Lin didn't know how His Majesty treated the other concubines. She didn't know if she was the only one who was disliked by His Majesty, or if she was the only one who couldn't get any intimacy from His Majesty.
But if Your Majesty doesn't like her, why did you summon her?
Lin Fei was filled with anger and resentment, as well as all kinds of unspeakable doubts lingering in her heart, making her heart ache sharply.
She sat on the couch, trying her best to calm her uncontrollable emotions.
At this time, another personal maid of Concubine Lin, Yurong, walked in.
Her steps were a little heavy, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her expression.
"master."
Yurong called out softly, her face didn't look very good, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She opened her lips slightly, then hesitated and closed them, as if she didn't know how to start.
Concubine Lin was already upset, and now she seemed a little impatient, with a frown on her face.
He said in a stiff tone: "What's wrong? Why are you hesitating? If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Master, His Majesty gave all the mule dai this year to Concubine Shu. When I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect it, the people there said that the mule dai was gone."
Yurong frowned slightly, her face full of helplessness and unwillingness. As she spoke, she carefully observed Lin Fei's expression.
"And the latest jewelry made by the Shangyi Bureau this month. The hairpin you liked last time has already been chosen by Concubine Shu."
"What!"
When Concubine Lin heard this, she was immediately furious. She was already jealous of Concubine Shu, and now Concubine Shu not only stole her favor, but also couldn't keep her favorite jewelry.
Seeing this, Yuqi on the side frowned tightly and kept winking at Yurong, indicating that her master was angry and should not talk about these upsetting things for the time being.
However, Yurong seemed not to notice Yuqi's hint. Seeing that Concubine Lin had a stern face, she not only did not stop talking, but continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Master, the Concubine Shu relied on the favor she received from His Majesty this month to go to the Shangyi Bureau and select a lot of jewelry. She was also the first to select the palace dresses from the Shangfu Bureau and picked out several pieces."
Yurong gestured as she spoke, her expression becoming increasingly indignant.
"When I went to choose for you, I could only choose the remaining ones. But after looking at the remaining dresses, you either didn't like the style or the color. I didn't find any satisfactory ones for you." Yurong said this, her face full of grievance and helplessness.
As Concubine Lin listened to Yurong's words, her anger grew stronger and stronger, and she became angrier the more she thought about it.
No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. Now among the four concubines, there were only Shufei and Xianfei. Xianfei had never been favored by His Majesty, so there was no need to worry about her.
If she wants to be promoted to the fourth concubine, the most important thing is to gain the favor of His Majesty.
She absolutely cannot let His Majesty continue to favor Concubine Shu like this!
Lin Fei stared straight ahead, her teeth clenched, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
