"I told you not to worry, but you didn't listen. Look, you coughed."
He had a look of anger on his face, but there was no concealment of concern in his words.
Concubine Shu lowered her eyes, being scolded by her like a child.
"Your Majesty, in front of so many sisters, please don't be cruel to me." Her tone was light, aggrieved and leisurely, her head lowered and her lips pouted, with a look of pampering.
Her desire to be a doting concubine was firmly controlled by her.
All the concubines present were surprised by Concubine Shu's methods. They still remembered how she was so docile and jade-like before, how could she be so eloquent and able to please the emperor now.
It seems like I saw...Murong Hua...
For a moment, all the concubines present looked at Murong Hua meaningfully.
Murong Hua's face was also slightly cracked. She had used her charm to control the emperor before, but now, not only the concubine Xian had learned it, but even Concubine Shu could do it equally well.
It seems that she needs to find time to read more story books to improve her skills.
Thinking of this, her face turned red inexplicably.
Concubine Shu's eyes moved, and she suddenly stopped at Murong Hua, jokingly saying: "Murong Hua, what's wrong with you? Are you shy when you see the emperor?"
After saying that, she picked up the handkerchief, covered her mouth and snickered.
Murong Hua was even more ashamed.
She peeked at Emperor Qing Ling, who was also looking at her.
He is serious, sitting upright, his face is like a crown jade, and his person is like a peach blossom...
She laughed and said: "Shu Guifei, please don't make fun of me."
Concubine Shu looked at Emperor Qingling and said: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen Murong Hua for many days, but I didn't know that she was so graceful, gentle and pleasant, and her temperament was so true-hearted and playful. I remember, after this Murong Hua will be seventeen years old. By then, if there are more sisters in the harem, wouldn't it be more lively and eye-catching?"
Murong Hua's expression suddenly changed.
The smile also froze on his face.
She was able to get some of the love from Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian, relying on her ability and age. If someone new arrived in the harem, her advantage would be gone.
By then, let alone surviving in the cracks, there is a high chance of being kicked down by newcomers.
It seems that Concubine Shu still holds grudges about the previous conflict in Chengqian Palace. How can she make up for what she did?
Emperor Qingling also looked at Murong Hua, not wanting to be vague on her behalf at all, but said: "Yao He, is it because I love Murong Hua more recently?"
Concubine Shu smiled and pushed Emperor Qingling.
Emperor Qingling also took her in his arms and said warmly: "No matter how many people there are in the harem, I promise you that in this life, the place in my heart will always be reserved for you."
Concubine Shu struggled to free herself, but before she could break away, she fell into his arms and covered her face.
"Your Majesty, I am so embarrassed to see so many sisters."
Her voice was very arrogant, but Emperor Qing Ling loved her the most.
He smiled and let go of Concubine Shu, hooked her chin and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
The love between the two became a thorn in the eyes of everyone.
The more favored Concubine Shu is, the more it reflects their unbearableness and cowardice.
At first, I didn’t understand why Concubine Shu tried so hard to get all the concubines of He Palace to come to Guangling Palace to eat the food of Concubine Xian. Now it seems that she killed two birds with one stone.
First, suppress Concubine Xian, warn her not to act rashly, and offer ancient plans for Concubine Xian, and for Princess Zhixin.
Second, tell everyone in the palace that Concubine Shu's family is now the dominant one in the harem. If anyone wants to attack her and Princess Zhixin, they must first consider whether they are qualified.
After all, who said that Concubine Shu was a stupid beauty before? When she used her brain, she was obviously very good at it.
For a time, all the concubines had a changed view of Concubine Shu.
Even Murong Hua, who had always regarded her as a thorn in his side, had to give her a thumbs up for her courage. The queen was grounded.
Although her actions were meant to suppress him, they also made enemies.
She pulled all the concubines out of the harem just to tell them that the most important person in the emperor's heart was her.
This person has a terrifyingly deep and thoughtful mind.
What's more, she just had a miscarriage and should have taken a good rest, but now she...
Murong Hua was the first to speak: "The Emperor and Concubine Shu have a very deep relationship, and their love is stronger than gold. It is a good story. I wish the Emperor and Concubine Shu a smooth life, peace and joy."
She smiled, her eyes still shining.
Concubine Shu looked at her and felt that she was somewhat sincere.
Sincerely, she also said: "Thank you sister for the compliment."
Murong Hua and Concubine Shu looked at each other and smiled.
Emperor Qing Ling smiled happily when he saw the two of them smiling away their grudges.
"Murong Hua's temper has become more restrained recently, Xiao Guangzi!"
Xiao Guangzi hurriedly came in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Emperor Qingling said slowly: "I remember that the Dongdu Kingdom paid tribute to a pair of jade bracelets before. You can take them and give them to Murong Hua as a gift to bless her for her promotion to glory."
Murong Hua was flattered and lowered his head and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am very frightened."
Xiao Guangzi also quickly accepted the order: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."
All the concubines looked at Murong Hua with twinkling eyes, their expressions were pale, hiding deep meanings.
Murong Hua is really capable of bending and stretching.
After all the troubles they had with Concubine Shu before, they could still greet her with a smile. They kept telling lies, but the emperor and Concubine Shu actually believed them. It was really ridiculous.
But seeing that the queen lost power and Prince Heng's palace became unreliable, he hurriedly looked for the next backer.
I'm afraid that if the Queen lifts the ban, she will be the first to stab Concubine Shu in the back.
"Congratulations to Empress Muronghua, congratulations to Empress Muronghua."
Murong Hua, who was not a high-ranking young master, knelt down to congratulate her. Although few of them were sincere, she was a concubine in the harem and she always had to worry about her face.
Murong Hua hurriedly said: "Sisters, please don't be polite, it's just the Emperor's love."
Concubine Shu raised her eyes, her eyes fell on Murong Hua for half a moment and then moved away.
Now, she has actually learned to protect herself wisely.
This shows how much the Jiang family's previous extermination of the ten clans had dealt a huge blow to her.
But a dog can’t change its habit of eating shit.
Murong Hua... is a person whom I can't get along with...
The charcoal fire was burning brightly in the house, and the concubine Xian came from outside carrying dumplings, bringing in the cool air.
Seeing the room full of concubines, she was stunned, but then she put on a gentle face and said: "Your Majesty, I have prepared a bowl of dumplings and specially invited the Emperor to taste them. Just now, the eunuch who was outside to taste the dishes has also tried them. Passed.”
Emperor Qing Ling glanced at her and then looked away.
Concubine Shu did not miss the moment of softness in his eyes.
After all, they have been together for a lifetime, and he can't let go.
Concubine Shu said: "Sister Xianbi, please sit down and eat together. Don't be busy outside. The chef in the small kitchen just now should have learned a little bit and can cook for the sisters in this big room. If you are alone, Your Majesty and I will be very distressed if your son does it.”
