   Chapter 280 Competing for favor (2)

   Concubine Su's joke soon reached Queen Qiao's ears.

   With Queen Qiao's dignified self-restraint, she couldn't help but smile happily.

   Concubine Su, relied on a charming face and the ability to serve men, is also considered a little favor. This time, he was slapped hard in the face.

The master was in a good mood, Cailan also felt happy, and laughed in a low voice: "I heard that after the emperor scolded the concubine Su at the time, he ordered the concubine Su to step down. Concubine Su's complexion turned red and white, not to mention how embarrassing. Concubine Su's temperament, I'm afraid she will cry until midnight again."

   Queen Qiao smiled leisurely: "Wang Meiren is lively and bright, with a pure temperament and understanding. If this palace is the emperor, I am also willing to let Wang Meiren serve you."

  The concubines who have sons in the harem each have their own careful thinking and small abacus. When Emperor Yongjia was busy and tired, how could he have the leisure to guess the thoughts of Concubine Qin and Su Concubine. Naturally, it took a lot of searching for a pleasant solution.

   Cailan echoed with a smile: "My lady said yes." After a pause, she said softly, "It's unexpected that Wang Meiren is so favored. Should you give me some soup?"

   There are already enough princes in the palace, so why should there be another prince from the concubine.

  The other concubines are just fine, Wang Meiren is the one who was brought out by Queen Qiao, who secretly gave the soup and medicine, which is also easy to control in the future.

   Queen Qiao was silent for a moment, then said lightly, "No need."

Cai Lan is Queen Qiao's confidant, and she said faithfully: "Miss, Wang Meiren now seems to be respectful and obedient to her. But over time, people's hearts will change. If she is dazzled by holy favor and has two hearts, In the future, a little prince will be born again. Wouldn't that add to the empress and the crown prince?"

   Queen Qiao said: "How can you completely suppress Concubine Meng with only one beauty Wang? This palace is looking forward to her being pregnant, so she can gain a firm foothold in the harem and make Concubine Meng a formidable enemy."

   "The prince is already an adult and has a pair of children. Wang Meiren is pregnant now. When she gives birth to a child, it will take more than ten years to grow up. There is no threat to the prince."

   Cailan stopped talking too much, and concentrated on serving Queen Qiao to get dressed and go to bed.

  …

   The next day, Concubine Qin came to Jiaofang Palace to greet her and waited outside the palace for a while. Until Concubine Su came, Concubine Qin covered her mouth with her sleeve and smiled: "How well did Concubine Su sleep last night?"

   Concubine Su: "..."

   Concubine Su cried for more than an hour last night. This morning, she had to put on her eyes and put on thick makeup, which was barely covered. As soon as he arrived, he was stabbed in the heart of Qin Fei.

   Concubine Su straightened her waist and replied calmly, "I slept late last night and looked a little haggard. I'm going to be late when I put on makeup today."

   Concubine Qin smiled maliciously: "I don't know who is talking about it and spreading rumors. Say, Concubine Su, you wore thin spring clothes last night and stood at the palace gate waiting for the emperor."

"Who would have thought that the emperor did not pity Xiangxiyu at all, and opened his mouth to scold him. Hey, when I heard such rumors, I didn't believe it at all. As a concubine in the harem, how can I do such frivolous behavior. "

   Concubine Su's chest hurt from being stabbed one after another, and she forced out a smile: "Yeah, I don't know what little people who chew their tongues talk nonsense."

   Concubine Qin let out a hoarse sound, took Concubine Su's hand affectionately, and entered the Jiaofang Hall together.

   Wang Meiren has already come to greet her and is respectfully accompanying Queen Qiao. When Concubine Qin and Concubine Su came, Wang Meiren immediately stood up and saluted with a smile: "I have seen Concubine Qin, and I have seen Concubine Su."

  Sixteen-year-old Wang Meiren, with bright eyes and white teeth, is as slim as a delicate hibiscus flower.

   Concubine Su believed that her beauty was even better, and she had to admit that in front of her youth, her beauty had faded.

  Concubine Qin has the most beautiful appearance, looking at the delicate and beautiful Wang Meiren, she is even more envious and hateful in her heart. He smiled and said, "Wang Meiren, please get up quickly."

   Then, Concubine Qin and Concubine Su greeted Queen Qiao together.

   Queen Qiao looked quite good, and said with a smile: "No ceremony, please sit down and talk!"

After the three of them were seated, Queen Qiao tapped a few words in a moderate manner: "The court is not very peaceful, and the political affairs are one after another. The emperor is busy with political affairs every day, and is tired and hard. When you enter the harem, what you want is gentle companionship. You two. A few, all pack up their minds and plan, and serve the emperor in the future."

   "It's even more important not to use all kinds of unprofessional means to compete for favor, which annoys the emperor, and makes people in the palace see lively jokes. If it spreads out, what's the face of the Tian family, and what kind of face does the harem have?"

   These words were clearly intended for Concubine Su.

   Su Fei's ears were hot, and she bowed her head in response.

   Wang Meiren didn't say much, and respectfully took the lead.

   It was Concubine Qin who always took advantage of such a good opportunity to stab Concubine Su again: "Empress Empress, rest assured, this concubine has been reading and writing since she was a child, she has read all four books and five classics, and she always knows some shame."

   A person who has never read a book and does not know how to be shameless is, of course, Concubine Su.

   Concubine Su: "..."

   Concubine Su cursed Concubine Qin fiercely in her heart and endured it silently.

   Right now, she can't provoke Concubine Qin.

  …

  Good things do not go out, and bad things travel thousands of miles.

   This matter soon spread out of the palace and reached Meng Yunluo's ears.

   Meng Yunluo was deeply ashamed, wishing she didn't have such a shameful mother-in-law. He couldn't help but said to Li Hao: "His Royal Highness should also persuade the mother-in-law. Be cautious in your words and actions in the palace, and don't always make jokes like this. When it spreads, the mother's face is not good-looking, and His Highness is also disgraced."

  Li Hao felt annoyed in his heart, but he didn't want to hear Meng Yunluo say that his mother was wrong. Jun's face sank slightly: "As a junior, is it a respectable thing to point fingers at elders in private?"

  Meng Yunluo was so angry that she blurted out: "The elders don't look like elders. Could it be that my daughter-in-law will just endure it?"

   As soon as these words came out, I knew something was wrong.

   Sure enough, Li Hao sank his face and threw a cold sentence: "You don't want to bear it, why did you marry me in the first place."

   then walked away.

  Meng Yunluo was both aggrieved and sad, she cried hard, and then smashed the things in the room clean.

   After crying and arguing, as usual, I have to be in a cold war for a few days.

   Until Meng Yunluo couldn't stand it anymore, she bowed her head to accompany Li Hao. Then he took the initiative to open his mouth and said that he would enter the palace to greet Concubine Su, and Li Hao had a smile on his face.

   Meng Yunluo entered the palace and cheered up to deal with Concubine Su. I didn't dare to mention a word about Concubine Su's jokes. The more I thought about it, the more I felt aggrieved.

  Have been married for more than half a year, and the sweetness of the newlyweds has long since faded, and the couple quarrelled every now and then. Of the ten times, nine times it was for Concubine Su.

   Li Hao doesn't have any major flaws, and it's not bad for her. The only downside is that he is too filial. Whenever there is a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they must stand on Concubine Su's side.

   Such a day, how embarrassing.
