"But Wu Zhui suddenly went berserk, and I had no control over him. I don't know why Concubine Lin suddenly got so close to my horse, and the whip went astray. I really didn't mean to do that."
Afterwards, Concubine Ling turned to Concubine Lin and tears began to flow.
"Noble Concubine Lin, this was not intentional. This palace does not understand why Wu Zhui suddenly went crazy, wuwu..."
Her crying was full of helplessness and grievance.
Concubine Lin stared at Concubine Ling, who was kneeling on the ground crying, and her face froze slightly.
This Concubine Ling actually focused entirely on the fact that Wu Zhui was mad, and simply said that the whipping of her horse was not intentional.
What a good move of retreating to advance!
She had originally thought that Concubine Ling would cry out to His Majesty about her grievances, but she never expected it to be like this...
It seems that Concubine Ling is not as simple as she seems.
However, today's test has achieved its purpose, and His Majesty is just so indifferent to the first wife of the Eastern Palace.
In comparison, His Majesty has been quite good to her.
As for the Imperial Concubine...
The Imperial Concubine is now too powerful, and it is not the time to openly oppose her.
Besides, the Imperial Noble Consort was only His Majesty's concubine before. I think His Majesty's preferential treatment of her was only because of her family background and the prince.
As long as she can also get pregnant with the royal heir and give birth to the prince smoothly, she can strive for the position of noble concubine. Then it won't be too late to compete with the imperial concubine.
A strange color flashed quickly in Concubine Lin's eyes.
Then, pretending to be understanding, she said, "Your Majesty, I misunderstood Your Majesty. Your Majesty hurt me in a moment of desperation, and I don't think it was intentional."
"I haven't suffered any serious injuries yet, Your Majesty, please don't blame the Queen."
Jun Zechen's expression still didn't change significantly, but the crying of the two women made him feel irritated.
His gaze fell on Ling Fei, who was still kneeling on the ground, and he said lightly, "Get up."
Afterwards, Jun Zechen stood up and said to Concubine Lin, "I have something else to do. Now that the misunderstanding between you two has been resolved, let's end this matter here."
Jun Zechen was undoubtedly satisfied with this result. He did not want to investigate or find out the truth.
Because he didn't want to punish either of them.
Concubine Lin was the target he set up in the harem for his mother, other concubines and court officials to see.
As for Concubine Ling, Jun Zechen only hoped that she could stay quiet, behave herself, and not cause any more trouble.
After Jun Zechen walked out, he jumped on his horse swiftly and rode back to the East Racecourse quickly.
The reason why he came to the East Racecourse today was actually to select a horse for Yaoyao to use tomorrow.
After all, Yaoyao is not very good at riding horses, so we have to choose a horse for her that is both beautiful and docile.
When the eunuchs at the horse ranch saw His Majesty return, they hurried over to pay their respects and said, "Your Majesty, your servant is here to see you."
"Get up. I had someone send a few white Wusun horses over. Bring them out for me to see." Jun Zechen ordered majestically.
The eunuch responded quickly, and then hurriedly ordered the people at the stable to quickly lead out the Wusun horses.
The Wusun horse's hair is as white as snow, soft and shiny, and its body is exceptionally strong and graceful, giving people an overall feeling of elegance yet power.
Their heads are relatively delicate, and their eyes are bright and lively.
Jun Zechen looked at the horses, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly.
Yaoyao would probably like this kind of horse.
Jun Zechen then stretched out his hand and pointed at the Wusun horse that he thought was the most beautiful.
"Name this one Snow Phoenix, and take it to the Imperial Concubine tomorrow."
The eunuch looked in the direction His Majesty pointed, at the Wusun horse named Xuefeng, and nodded repeatedly in response, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Your Majesty really dotes on the Imperial Concubine.
After choosing the horse, Jun Zechen turned and left.
Tomorrow, the officials and guards participating in the spring hunt will be divided into several teams to hunt in the dense jungle of Spring Hunting Pass, and all the prey will eventually become food for the campfire dinner in the evening.
He could just take Yaoyao to another place for hunting. Thinking of this, Jun Zechen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Meanwhile, in Concubine Lin's tent, Concubine Ling stood up, her face as cold as frost.
"Noble Concubine Lin, you are really good at this."
Concubine Ling's voice was cold and contained a hint of chill.
"I hope you can keep pretending like this, but no matter how much you pretend, you can never compare to the status of the Imperial Concubine in His Majesty's heart."
Concubine Ling stared at Concubine Lin with cold eyes, her words full of sarcasm.
Concubine Lin was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows slightly. What did Concubine Ling mean by this?
Is she saying that the Imperial Noble Consort is the one in His Majesty's heart?
Is it possible that a man as cold as His Majesty could truly love a woman?
The Imperial Noble Consort is indeed beautiful, and it is normal for His Majesty to like her.
But so what? His Majesty likes the Imperial Noble Consort, so doesn’t he still favor her?
My mother once said that a man’s heart always needs to be fought for by a woman.
Concubine Ling said this today, probably just to get her to deal with the Imperial Noble Concubine?
Do you really think she would be as stupid as she is?
"Empress Ling, you are His Majesty's first wife. In His Majesty's heart, you are not even as good as a concubine. Why do you have to associate yourself with the Imperial Noble Consort?"
Concubine Lin raised the corner of her mouth with a faint smile.
"The Imperial Concubine has the eldest prince. Is it not natural for His Majesty to care about the Imperial Concubine?"
There was a glint of shrewdness in Concubine Lin's eyes. It was not like she was infertile, and no matter whether Concubine Ling was right or not, she did not have the power to directly confront the Imperial Concubine.
What's more, there is a long time to come. As long as His Majesty's favor for her gradually deepens in the future and she can truly gain a foothold in the harem, it will not be too late to deal with her then.
Concubine Ling was choked by Concubine Lin's words and was suddenly speechless, but she was unable to refute.
Yes, she is really bad. It was bad enough that she couldn't compare to the Royal Noble Consort before, but now she can't even compare to His Majesty's new favorite.
A feeling of desolation suddenly surged in Ling Fei's heart, as well as deep self-mockery, and her eyes became dim.
