Chapter 134 Yixiu 3
Chapter 134 Yixiu 3
Yixiu had no ill will towards the heroine Zhen Huan. She just gave gifts to the newlyweds according to the old custom. The amount of silver in it was not much, but it could solve the urgent needs of those who had just entered the palace.
Only Xia Dongchun was still jumping around, unaware that he had offended someone.
Faced with Xia Dongchun's humiliation, An Lingrong still endured it.
After the other person left, Baojuan picked up the embroidered handkerchief on the table and handed it to An Lingrong, "My lady, don't worry about it. The only thing that matters in this palace is the emperor's favor."
"Now that you've entered the palace, you're the emperor's concubine, no different from anyone else."
Baojuan tried her best to comfort An Lingrong. She had been carefully trained in the past and was originally a sharp knife in the hands of the Queen.
Finally, they received a message from their superiors that they didn't need to do anything else, just serve their master with peace of mind.
In this way, Baojuan's honor and disgrace are firmly tied to An Lingrong.
She naturally hoped that her master would be favored in the future, and she told An Lingrong some rules without reservation.
"Baojuan, thank you so much for these days."
An Lingrong held Baojuan's hand with tears in her eyes. She was sensitive by nature, so how could she not notice Baojuan's intentions.
As soon as they arrived at the Yanx Palace, Baojuan was waiting at the door. Before she could say a word to An Lingrong, she was very tactful and gave the eunuch who was leading the way a purse.
An Lingrong was smart and quickly wrote down all the little things Baojuan said.
The first thing he did after receiving the reward was to reward his servants, among whom Baojuan received the largest reward.
"Master, what are you talking about? We, your servants, rely on you for a good life, so we must be dedicated to you!"
Two personal maids coaxed An Lingrong to not care so much about other people's eyes, and within two or three days she became much more cheerful.
Zhen Huan and Concubine Chun were having a fierce affair and had no time to care about An Lingrong.
It was she who took the initiative to go to Suiyuxuan. After all, she had lived in the Zhen family for some time, and the three of them had a good chat together for a while.
When asked about their respective situations, An Lingrong did not seem embarrassed and responded calmly.
"Everything is fine on my side. Noble Lady Fucha is not a meddlesome person. As for Concubine Xia, after all, I was the one who made the mistake first. Although it was not intentional, I almost ruined her important plan."
"She even went to apologize formally yesterday. She was just a little quick-witted, but she's not necessarily a bad person."
Upon hearing this, Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong in surprise. They didn't take it to heart after what happened that day. At that time, they thought Lingrong was timid and cowardly, but they didn't expect that she could handle it so well.
Her character is also very different from the last time we met. This palace is really a training place.
"We're relieved to see that you're doing well. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to come to me and Huan'er."
"We entered the palace together, so it's only right that we take care of each other."
The three of them chatted and laughed and time passed quickly.
On the day of the audience with the whole palace, the newlyweds were all waiting in Jingren Palace. Jianqiu frowned when he saw where they were standing.
He was worried that something strange might happen in such an occasion, which would upset his master.
She stepped forward, bowed, and said to them apologetically, "Please, Noble Fucha and Noble Borjigit, please step forward."
"I apologize to the masters. We were careless and forgot such an important thing. Please don't blame me."
Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan looked at each other, seeing horror in each other's eyes, and both took a step back.
After apologizing to Noble Lady Fucha, she immediately thanked Jianqiu. They both knew that the other party was trying to save face.
"Thank you, Aunt Jianqiu, for the reminder."
Jianqiu had a smile on her face that never changed. "This is my duty, my ladies, please don't worry about it."
After looking around and confirming that there was no problem, Jianqiu went in to ask the queen to come out.
Concubine Hua dressed up today and arrived at Jingren Palace on time.
"I'm not too late, am I?"
"Don't you know whether it's late or not?"
Everyone paused in their greetings. They all said that the queen was dignified and generous, and the most kind-hearted, so why was there such a strong atmosphere of tension today?
Concubine Hua still wanted to put on airs, but was caught off guard by the Queen's direct attack.
They usually speak in a roundabout way, and maintaining peace of mind is more important than anything else. They have never been so straightforward.
Concubine Hua was not someone who would tolerate being bullied. She was already annoyed after spending so much money on the Queen. "Are you blaming me, Her Majesty?"
"Don't you understand, Concubine Hua?"
"The Emperor finished reading the memorials last night, and I stayed up late with him. This morning, the Emperor refused to let me get up early. If the Empress is angry, she should know who she is with."
"Jianqiu, go and report to the Emperor. If you do not wish any of the concubines to pay their respects in the future, please send someone to let him know in advance."
Yixiu's arrogant look greatly irritated Concubine Hua.
She has always been the one who acted recklessly, and this was the first time she experienced firsthand what it felt like to be embarrassed.
The newlyweds are all watching here, and Concubine Hua will never allow herself to be left behind.
The sneer on her face made people feel uneasy. "Don't worry, Queen. Songzhi will ask the Emperor to come over. Since the Queen is angry, I will naturally ask the Emperor to explain clearly."
Concubine Hua was very confident about her position in the emperor's heart. She looked up at the queen proudly, expecting her to change her expression.
Yixiu was not afraid of the emperor coming, and instead looked gently at the newlyweds who dared not make a sound next to her.
Jiang Fuhai presided over the ceremony for the newlyweds at the right time, leaving Concubine Hua aside.
"All the ladies bow down to the Empress!"
Concubine Hua felt that everything was going wrong today, and she felt extremely jealous when she saw the concubines paying their respects to her.
It is unknown how much attention these newcomers, as delicate as flowers, will divert from the emperor's harem once they enter, and there will be more and more of them.
She turned around and talked to Songzhi about jadeite, deliberately trying to intimidate the newcomer.
If you can’t discipline the queen, can’t you control the newcomers?
"Get up."
When Yixiu's voice sounded, Concubine Hua looked over suddenly, her eyes looking as if she wanted to eat her alive.
She gripped the armrest tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
He snorted coldly and sat back without saying anything, preparing to complain harshly to the emperor when he arrived.
The process on the scene did not come to a halt because of this little episode. Jiang Fuhai continued to direct them to pay their respects to other concubines.
Hua Fei no longer had the idea of making things difficult for the newcomers, nor did she want to lose face in front of these people frequently.
"You are all tired today, so just kneel down and pay your respects."
"Wait, I've remembered the Queen's instructions just now. Since the Emperor is coming, please let the sisters stay, so as to avoid breaking the Queen's rules in the future."
This is not the first love-brained person Yixiu has met, and she respects these people's ideas very much.
You have to experience setbacks before you realize that you are not that important.
"Jianqiu, please take a seat. My sisters, please relax and serve the emperor well so that he can have children soon. This is the most important thing to do."
An Lingrong hid in the back and observed everyone's words and actions. Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu's hearts were already in turmoil, as they knew that there were constant struggles in the harem.
However, he did not expect that during his first audience, he would encounter a confrontation between the Queen and Concubine Hua.
Even Xia Dongchun shut up. Her instinct told her not to speak at this time.
