Concubine Yu smiled and replied: "Xiao Meiren said that she admires the imperial concubine's peerless appearance. Today, even if she is a palace maid, she will come to your concubine to pay her respects. I have no choice but to bring her here. Your Majesty will not blame her." Bar?"
She is only an eighth-grade beauty, so according to palace regulations, she is not qualified to pay her respects.
But the palace rules were talking about the queen, not the imperial concubine.
Concubine Yu was using Xiao Meiren to slap Jiang Xinyue in the face, challenging her overtly and covertly.
Moreover, I always praise a person for his peerless appearance, but never say it outright like this.
If Jiang Xinyue doesn't say anything, doesn't it mean that she also thinks that she is so beautiful that she outshines all the sisters in the harem?
Although this is indeed the case, no woman is willing to admit that her appearance is worse than others.
In particular, they are both the emperor's women and are love rivals.
Then if she says something, people will think that she is uncertain, and they won't be able to praise her.
Whatever Concubine Yu said, it was all Jiang Xinyue's fault.
But is Jiang Xinyue someone who plays her cards according to routines?
She glanced sideways at Xiao Meiren: "How ugly is Concubine Yu? It hurts your eyes to look at her every day. Do you want to come and see me to purify your soul?"
She looked at Concubine Yu who was about to get angry again, and raised the corner of her mouth: "I understand too. After all, it is said in the book that whatever you look at every day will look more and more like that thing. Xiao Meiren is afraid that she will become more and more similar to that thing." Isn’t it like Concubine Yu won’t be favored by the emperor in the future?”
Xiao Meiren was about to say "no", but Jiang Xinyue raised her hand to stop her from speaking, as if everyone understood and you don't need to say anything.
The next moment, she sat down on the throne belonging to the imperial concubine, and her eyes became sharp again: "I understand, but if I see someone I shouldn't see in Hexi Palace again next time, I will even I'll rush out together with you, if you lose someone, don't blame me for not warning you when the time comes."
Xiao Meiren had rarely come into contact with Jiang Xinyue before. After all, she was an unpopular little beauty in the palace of concubines who were not favored, and Jiang Xinyue had been the emperor's favorite concubine since she had her name.
Even if Xiao Meiren jumped up, she couldn't touch Jiang Xinyue's knees.
She just often listened to Concubine Yu complaining about Jiang Xinyue and insulting Jiang Xinyue in Shun'an Palace, so she felt that Jiang Xinyue was young and could be manipulated by others. He was just a pretty person and was well protected by the emperor.
Today's first confrontation, who is more powerful is obvious as soon as they open their mouth.
It’s not that the Imperial Concubine is not powerful, she just cleverly used the Emperor as her mouthpiece, packaging herself into a kind and weak white lotus, making the Emperor pity her and protect her under his wings.
In fact, such women are the smartest.
She didn't have to fight to the death with other concubines and plan. Everything she wanted could be obtained through the emperor.
The emperor was tired, and the other concubines who had been warned by the emperor were tired. Jiang Xinyue spread her hands, and someone offered them all the rare treasures.
Look at her...
When the emperor was not around, she was very sharp with her mouth and not timid at all.
But Xiao Meiren has already joined the team. Even if she doesn't want to face Jiang Xinyue, it's impossible.
She gritted her teeth, faced Concubine Yu's urging eyes, and spoke carefully: "The Imperial Concubine is a role model for the Sixth Palace, and she should serve as the royal family... The royal family has blossomed. The emperor has not been in the harem for almost a year, and the concubines... …I risk my life to come to see you today because I want to ask my empress to advise the emperor to... let the rain and dew fall on both sides.”
oh!
The admiration for her peerless appearance is also a lie. The real purpose is for Concubine Yu to push her out to be the leading lady in order to benefit the concubines in the harem.
"What Miss Xiao said is absolutely true."
Jiang Xinyue took a sip of the fragrant light green tea with a gentle smile on her face: "I will pay my respects to the emperor today."
"ah?"
Did you agree so easily? It's that simple?
Concubine Yu has another trick up her sleeve!
How can this be done?
"The Imperial Concubine, don't do one thing in front of your face and do the other behind your back."
Concubine Yu didn't believe what she said at all, and said angrily: "If the empress had told the emperor earlier, the sisters wouldn't have been left alone in the empty room for nearly a year."
The implication is that the imperial concubine is not only the initiator of making their harem lonely, but also will not persuade the emperor to favor the harem for their sake.
This is not possible!
Although none of the concubines who came to pay respects to Jiang Xinyue were as stubborn as Concubine Yu, the emperor's blessing was the most important thing for the survival of the harem. If the emperor did not come to the harem, what was the use of fighting no matter how much they fought?
Immediately, all the concubines in the palace looked at Jiang Xinyue with less friendly eyes.
Concubine Yu had been "pointed out" by someone again, and she had learned to provoke everyone's anger.
Jiang Xinyue's eyes looked at Concubine De, but Concubine De raised her tea cup and drank the tea without having anything to do with herself.
This is a high-level provocation.
The low-level ones are the little cuties like Concubine Yu who are used as weapons.
However, Concubine Yu was able to survive in the harem for so long, thanks to her poor brain.
In this palace, those who die early are the smart ones.
Stupid...
The deep palace is boring, just keep it to relieve your boredom.
The sharp arrow-like gazes of the concubines could not penetrate Jiang Xinyue's face like a bulletproof vest. She leaned towards the backrest, her posture became more and more graceful, but her movements did not appear lazy. Instead, she had a relaxed dignity and a strong aura. people.
"Magpie, go notify the Jingshifang and ask them to send green-headed cards to Chengqian Palace from today on. If the emperor asks about it, just say that I invite the emperor to visit the harem, and the rain and dew will be wet."
The magpie immediately responded and retreated from the hall.
Several other concubines winked at the palace maids beside them, and they followed the magpie out.
The magpie indeed went to the Jingsi Room and said the same thing to the father-in-law in the Jingsi Room.
Everyone was relieved that the Imperial Concubine was indeed a person who kept her word.
In the Chengqian Palace, the candles were brightly lit, and Li Zhong, the manager of the Jingsi Room, once again stood in front of the emperor anxiously after eight or nine months.
"Oh? You said that the imperial concubine advised me to soak up the rain and dew?"
Li Zhong swallowed his saliva: "Your Majesty, you can find out by looking at the cards."
He didn't dare to say a word beyond words.
After all, the emperor now looks like he wants to eat people.
Emperor Xuanwu exhaled from his nose in great irritation. Does Jiang Xinyue have no heart?
Doesn't she still understand what he feels for her?
He could tolerate the pressure of the courtiers and pamper her alone, but couldn't she resist the dissatisfaction of the concubines in the harem and push herself out?
good!
You want him to turn over the cards, right?
Then he got her wish.
Emperor Xuanwu turned over a green card: Imperial Concubine.
Open another one: Imperial Concubine.
I flipped through four or five in a row, and each one had the title Imperial Concubine written on it.
Li Zhong and Wang Dequan looked at each other, and the imperial concubine's method really worked.
Going to Hexi Palace is also a lucky harem!
She had tried to persuade her, but it was the emperor's own business to listen or not.
It's not like Jiang Xinyue was given no choice. The plate of the other eunuch in the Jingsi Room contained the green cards of other concubines.
