Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 294 Harem (5)
Concubine Qin and others were talking, and one of the beauties said: "Sister Concubine, look, that's not the princess from the villa."
Concubine Qin turned her head and glanced, chuckled, then turned back and said: "It's true, I've heard a long time ago that she doesn't understand the rules. Today, when she entered the palace, she embarrassed the villa. She couldn't even do a basic salute. Neither. I really didn’t expect that the noble daughter of the Chang family in the Villa would be like that."
The beauty covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Yes, she still looks like she has never seen the world. She is curious about everything. She has to go up and look at every pillar and wall. It is really embarrassing. They say that the wealth of the villa is as great as that of the country, no matter what It is powerful in every aspect, and its various products are even more beautiful. I don’t think so. People in the world are just exaggerating. Don’t you say that the things you don’t know are the most powerful?”
Another beauty also said: "Who says it's not the case? Prince Yongjing's palace is originally not lovable, and Princess Yongjing is a coward who doesn't understand the rules. There is no time when she enters the palace that she doesn't make people laugh. This time the princess Even worse, it is estimated that all kinds of rumors will spread throughout the capital tomorrow, and the people of Prince Yongjing’s Palace will become the laughing stock wherever they go.”
Concubine Qin said: "Sister, please don't say that. No matter how much people don't understand the rules, as long as they are born well, I heard that even the head of the Yue family is waiting for the princess. Who is the head of the Yue family? , even in Kyoto of the Li Kingdom, its influence will not be weaker than that of my father. If my sister’s words are heard by the people in the Villa, she might get into trouble."
The beauty said: "What are you afraid of? It's still far away and you can't hear it."
Concubine Qin frowned slightly: "Hey, it's really disappointing. I don't know why she came here. Didn't she say she was at the Queen Mother's place?"
Another beauty said: "Sister, what are you worried about? She transfers hers, we transfer ours, just ignore her."
Concubine Qin said: "Forget it, people don't know etiquette, we can't do the same. Since we have already met, we should go up and say hello."
After saying that, he swung his body and walked towards Yue Qing and the others.
The fourth prince had a headache for a while.
Of course Yueqing saw them coming, turned to look at the flowers around her, reached out to pick one, held it up and smelled it.
Concubine Qin and others had already come closer, and they heard Concubine Qin say:
"Hey, isn't this Princess Shun'an? Why are you here if you're not accompanying the Queen Mother?"
Yue Qing turned to look at her and looked her up and down: "Auntie, who are you? How do you know that I am Princess Shun'an?"
Concubine Qin was stunned on the spot.
The beauty next to her said: "Look at Princess Shun'an's memory. This is the imperial concubine. I just met her at the Queen Mother's house in the morning. I am You Meiren, and that one is Wu Meiren."
Yue Qing exclaimed, "It turns out to be the imperial concubine. There were too many people in the morning, so I didn't remember which one was which. You guys are here to enjoy the garden too."
Concubine Qin had a trace of disdain in her eyes and let the two beauties next to her speak.
You Meiren said: "Princess, how could you not remember your concubine's talents? It's a bit rude of you to speak like this."
The fourth prince also came over at this time. Seeing that the two parties were already talking to each other, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "I have met Qin Guifei."
Then he nodded to the two beauties.
The two beauties, You and Wu, quickly returned the gift.
Concubine Qin nodded: "Well, the fourth prince is accompanying the princess to visit the garden?"
"Yes, Sister Yuqing is a little thirsty. She happened to see the maid next to Concubine Qin, so she wanted to ask for some water."
Yue Qing looked at the fourth prince in disbelief, wondering how this man could disrupt her plan as soon as he came up.
Concubine Qin smiled and said: "That's it. I told you earlier. It turns out that I am thirsty. By coincidence, I have prepared some refreshments. The princess can use them to quench her thirst."
Yue Qing rolled her eyes at the fourth prince, smiled at Concubine Qin, and came to the pavilion.
After taking a look at the several seats pressed against the table, one of them was obviously prepared for the imperial concubine, so he quickly walked forward and sat down.
Concubine Qin didn't know her the same way, so she sat down on a chair beside her, "By the way, isn't the princess with the Queen Mother? Why are you here?"
Yue Qing turned around and looked around, "We were originally in the same place, but they became separated while walking."
"The princess has a lively temperament. I don't think she can go anywhere near the Queen Mother. There are many interesting things in the palace courtyard. It will be noon soon. How about having lunch in my palace?"
Yue Qing looked at her without saying a word. Concubine Qin had a good temper, unlike her father and brother.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I'm a very picky person, so I may not be used to food from other places. Usually the people in the villa cook the food according to my preferences."
Concubine Qin said: "That's okay. These snacks are carefully prepared, and they are all delicious to me. Please try them, Princess."
The maid on the side was about to step forward to pour tea for Yue Qing, but Cai'er stopped her and said, "No, the things Miss uses don't have to go through other people's hands, I can do it."
After saying that, he poured tea from the cup on the table, lifted it up and smelled it, then handed it to Yue Qing and said, "It tastes good, but it's a little cold."
Yueqing took it and took a sip.
The beauty on the side saw this with disdain on her lips. He smiled and said, "The princess needs someone to test the temperature and taste of the water before she drinks it. Is she afraid that the imperial concubine will poison the tea?"
Another beauty also laughed.
Yue Qing put down her cup and looked at the two of them smiling.
When they stopped, Yue Qing said: "Have you two finished laughing? You are quite right. I use this process no matter what I do on weekdays. It is said that it is to prevent someone from doing anything bad to me."
Concubine Qin smiled and said: "Hey, Princess Shun'an, you don't have to be familiar with them. They are just curious and find it interesting. But the princess is really too careless. I have prepared these things for myself." No matter what you eat, you won’t poison your own snacks. Hahaha..."
The beauty on the side also said quickly: "Yes, Princess, please don't mind. It's because we haven't seen the world. It's the first time we see someone drink water and we need to try it. Those who don't know think it's the emperor who wants to eat." Yeah. Hahahaha..."
Qing'er said angrily: "Have you laughed enough? Our young ladies still need your advice on how to eat. If you say one more word, I will make you speechless."
The fourth prince was thinking of ways to persuade him.
The beauty then said, "Hey, why is this princess's maid so unruly? Masters talk..."
Yue Qing was wondering why she didn't say anything anymore, when she saw the beauty touching her throat with a somewhat anxious expression.
Yueqing looked back at Qing'er.
Qing'er smiled at her.
The eunuch on the side quickly protected the imperial concubine and others behind him, "You are so bold, you actually dare to assassinate me in the palace. Come quickly, protect the imperial concubine."
Concubine Qin stood up, obviously frightened: "Princess Shun'an, what are you doing? Even if there are one or two words that are not what you want, you cannot allow your maid to attack the concubine."
The fourth prince was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the maid next to the princess would actually dare to take action directly. This was the palace of Li State, and the conflict between the two parties was not that big.
Seeing that the eunuchs and maids over there had been checking for a long time but couldn't find anything wrong with the beauty, they quickly asked: "Sister Yuqing, what did you do?"
Yue Qing said: "I don't know, I'm just wondering. I was talking happily just now. Qing'er, what did you do?"
Qing'er said: "Miss, don't worry, she is fine, it just makes her unable to speak for the time being."
The eunuch on the side said: "How dare you, what have you done, you naughty slave? Why don't you quickly heal the beauty and apologize?"
Qing'er said: "I have warned her, but she still wants to be rude. If this happened in our villa, she would be dead right now."
The eunuch was furious: "You. This is the Royal Palace of Li Kingdom, not your villa. If you dare to scare the imperial concubine, I think you, a naughty slave, don't want to live anymore."
The beauty standing aside said: "What are you talking to a slave of hers for? This slave must have given some kind of poison to Youmei. Why don't you hurry up and get her, torture her, and make her hand over the antidote." "
Several eunuchs looked at Concubine Qin but did not come forward.
Wu Meiren said: "Sister, Princess Shun'an dares to do this in front of you, she obviously doesn't take you seriously. She has been provoking you since she came here. Not only did she call you aunt, but she also said she didn't remember who you were. Who. The imperial concubine sister was kind enough to give her tea, and she even chose your seat to sit, showing no distinction between dignity and inferiority. You just watched her provocations over and over again."
Concubine Qin's eyes turned red: "Princess Shun'an, why do you want to target me so deliberately?"
Yueqing picked up the cup on the table and took another sip: "Qin Guifei, I didn't target you intentionally. You are overthinking it. It was these two beauties who made the provocation first and offended my maid. Okay, Qing'er , just teach him a lesson, how can you make someone mute, how can you cure him."
Qing'er nodded: "Yes, miss."
After saying that, she walked to Youmei's side, and the palace maid and eunuch waiting on the side looked at her as if she was facing an enemy.
Qing'er said: "Get out of the way, our lady said, heal her."
The maid stepped aside.
Qing'er walked up to him and patted both You Meiren. You Meiren could make a sound after coughing twice. Looking at Yue Qing and others in shock.
The eunuchs' voices were a bit loud. They were shouting about assassination just now, but the noise had already alerted the three people waiting outside.
Before Zhang Hong could react, he saw Qi Jiao and Chang Yuxiao disappear in the blink of an eye, and quickly arranged for someone to rush in.
There was a confrontation between the two parties. Although the imperial concubine and the others were more numerous, Princess Shun'an's side clearly had the upper hand.
He arrived only two steps slower than the two people in front.
"What happened?"
Yue Qing turned around and saw three people standing outside the pavilion.
"Huh? Why are you here?"
San Yuxiao smiled and said: "I just left for a while, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Jiao had a cold face. Seeing that Yue Qing was fine, he looked at her.
Yue Qing was about to speak.
Wu Meiren said: "Commander Zhang is here just in time. Arrest this slave quickly. She just dared to assassinate the imperial concubine."
Zhang Hong couldn't make a decision, so he asked the Fourth Emperor next to him, "The Fourth Emperor has been here all the time. Can you explain what happened?"
The fourth prince regretted taking today's errand. Although he was a prince, his status in the palace was not high. He did not want to offend Concubine Qin or the Villa.
"This..." I didn't think of what to say for a long time.
Yue Qing put down her cup and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that I was a little thirsty when I walked into the garden and wanted to drink some water. It happened that the fourth prince asked the concubine for some water on my behalf, so we drank tea in this pavilion. Chat. Everything I use on daily basis needs to be inspected. Cai'er helped me test the temperature and taste as usual, but was laughed at by this beauty. Qing'er felt that she offended me, so after the persuasion failed, she was temporarily silenced. A while."
Wu Meiren said angrily: "You are talking nonsense. It is obvious that you were the first to be unreasonable. You spoke rudely and disrespected Concubine Qin as soon as we met. You also occupied the chair of the concubine's sister, without distinction."
Concubine Qin said with red eyes: "Sister Wu, stop talking. Princess Shun'an doesn't know the rules of our Li country. It's okay for me to be aggrieved. It's just pity that Youmei was so frightened. I just didn't expect the princess around her. The maid is so powerful, we weak women have never seen these battles before, so we were just a little panicked for a moment."
As he spoke, his body actually became a little unsteady.
Yueqing suddenly felt that she didn't like her very much, and the emperor was not here. She didn't know who this was for, maybe she was really timid and frightened.
