Quick Wear: The paranoid beauty grabs the waist and spoils her
Chapter 359 How to Compete with His Peerless Charm 4
Yuqing Palace.
Concubine Li returned to her palace and felt angry when she thought about what happened that night.
She was supposed to sleep with him last night, but Concubine Liu happened to give birth, so His Majesty didn't come.
On the way to Yonghe Palace, I met another short-sighted eunuch.
Your Majesty sent two pots of magnolia to Qixia Palace.
When I think about the three months when she was under house arrest, how this vixen Wan Zhaoyi had seduced His Majesty to be so interested in her.
And Lady Liu was so blessed that she was promoted to Xiuyuan as soon as she gave birth to a son.
Thinking of this, Concubine Li tightened her hands, and the white cat in her arms let out a shrill scream.
The cat broke free from Concubine Li's arms, scratched her hand with one claw, then quickly jumped down and ran away.
Concubine Li's hand was so painful from being grabbed that she could no longer maintain her calm and cool appearance and shouted:
"Damn it, little beast! Catch it now, I'm going to skin it alive!"
Biling and other eunuchs and palace maids immediately chased after the "culprit" who injured Concubine Li - the white cat.
There was chaos in Yuqing Palace.
***
"Xiao Xiangzi, have you heard that the one from Yuqing Palace was injured?"
In the Accounting Department of the Shanggong Bureau, Nan Xiang was checking and settling the amount of ice that each palace lady was supposed to receive in the summer. She was looking through the previous account books and suddenly heard a little palace maid walking towards her and talking to her quietly.
When Nan Xiang heard what the little palace maid said, she immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at the little palace maid with her eyes level: "Cai Yi, is Si Cai Si okay?"
The little palace maid named Caiyi paused for a moment, then moved a chair, sat opposite Nanxiang, and asked innocently:
"Can't I come to you if I have something to do?"
Nan Xiang: “…”
Seeing that Nan Xiang didn't respond, Cai Yi continued, "Hey, Xiao Xiangzi, I have completed all the tasks Aunt Qinxin assigned to me today. I just wanted to find you to share some things with me."
Seeing Caiyi's bright look, her eyes full of "ask me quickly, ask me quickly", Nan Xiang smiled helplessly and asked obediently:
"What happens after you get hurt?"
Although Nan Xiang had already guessed the result, she was used to the little girl's excited look every time she shared gossip about the palace.
Naturally, she would not pour cold water on others, but just be a patient listener.
Caiyi entered the palace at the same time as her, and were both assigned to the Shanggong Bureau, but she was in the Siji Division of the Shanggong Bureau, while Caiyi was in the Sicai Division.
Caiyi is one month younger than her, but she is better developed than her and is a head taller than her.
Nan Xiang was a little bothered, but she didn't mind it anymore after a while. She is still young and growing, so she will grow taller.
Among the many palace servants in the entire Shanggong Bureau, Nan Xiang was only impressed by three of them.
One is the eunuch in charge of the Shanggong Bureau - Eunuch Zheng.
One is the head aunt of the Caisi Department of the Shanggong Bureau—Aunt Qinxin.
There is also a little palace maid named Caiyi from the Caisi of the Shanggong Bureau.
Eunuch Zheng is both a teacher and a father to Nan Xiang, while Aunt Qinxin is both a teacher and a mother to her. They are both very kind to Nan Xiang. Eunuch Zheng is gentle while Aunt Qinxin is strict. They taught Nan Xiang many survival skills in the palace.
Nan Xiang was very grateful.
As for Caiyi, she is one year older than Nanxiang, but she is lively, clever and tactful. She is the first true friend Nanxiang has made in the palace. She is very kind to Nanxiang and will always think of Nanxiang if she has any good things, and will save some for Nanxiang if she can.
Naturally, the same is true for Nan Xiang.
Although Caiyi is one year older than Nanxiang, she is lively and smart. Nanxiang takes care of Caiyi like a younger sister and never calls her "sister".
Caiyi is very popular in the palace and is the most well-informed person in the Shanggong Bureau.
Because of Caiyi's personality, she could chat with other palace maids and eunuchs, so Caiyi knew a lot of gossip and interesting things in the palace.
She hid it very well and did not lose her life because of the information she found out, because she really valued her life and had good sense.
She loves to share gossip, and many people love to get news from her.
She shared what she could naturally share.
But what she liked most was sharing with Nan Xiang, because no matter what she shared, other people would look at her in surprise, and they all had utilitarian purposes, but Nan Xiang did not.
Moreover, Nanxiang will work hard to build a bridge between speaking and listening, and steadily provide emotional value.
So Caiyi was happy to share with Nanxiang first, and Nanxiang was very cooperative.
Seeing Nan Xiang like this, Cai Yi cleared her throat, closed the doors and windows, and then continued in a low voice: "Guess what? That white cat was a tribute from Persia two years ago. It was a favorite of Concubine Li. Normally, even we were not allowed to touch it, and now it has hurt Concubine Li. I heard that the cat was directly dealt with after it was caught."
Nan Xiang frowned slightly. Although she had no good feelings towards Concubine Li, especially after what happened last night, if it weren't for the Queen, she would have been dead or seriously injured. But when she heard such news, Nan Xiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
She asked softly:
"How is Concubine Li now?"
Caiyi shook her head and whispered, "I heard that Concubine Li was injured and in a bad mood. She has closed the door to visitors and is concentrating on recuperating. People in the palace are talking about it, saying that Concubine Li is likely to fall out of favor this time."
Nan Xiang's heart moved. She knew that the favor in the palace was like flowing water, which came and went quickly. Concubine Li's injury this time undoubtedly gave other concubines an opportunity.
Besides, Concubine Li was under house arrest by the emperor three months ago. It wasn't long after she was released that this incident happened. It can only be said that it is fate, Nan Xiang sighed in her heart.
She looked into Caiyi's eyes, sighed softly, and said, "Things in the palace are so unpredictable."
Caiyi nodded. Although she didn't like Concubine Li, as a palace maid, she knew that walls have ears and she couldn't say too much.
She and Nan Xiang smiled at each other, and everything was said without words. At the same time, in Wan Zhaoyi's palace, Wan Zhaoyi was listening to the report from her personal maid Zijuan, with an unconcealable joy on her face.
"What did you say? Concubine Li is in solitary confinement again?" Zijuan nodded and whispered, "Yes, Madam, I heard that it was because the white cat hurt Concubine Li, and His Majesty was afraid that Concubine Li would be emotionally unstable, so he asked her to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors."
Wan Zhaoyi had a smug smile on her face. She and Concubine Li had never gotten along, so Concubine Li's fall from favor was undoubtedly good news for her. "This is really God's help. Concubine Li was only released after three months of house arrest, and now she is in solitary confinement again. It seems that she has really fallen from favor this time."
Xiao Cui said cautiously: "My Lady, should we take this opportunity..."
Wan Zhaoyi interrupted her, a gleam in her eyes: "No hurry, the most important thing now is to consolidate His Majesty's favor, and then slowly deal with Concubine Li."
Wan Zhaoyi was thoughtful. She knew that direct confrontation was often not the best option in the palace. It required more wisdom and patience. She decided to consolidate her position first and then find a chance to deal with Concubine Li.
Her current foundation is still shallow, and only by firmly grasping the emperor's favor can she seek a higher position.
Concubine Wan was very popular in the palace. She had a pure and graceful face, and was a beauty from the Jiangnan water town. However, except for Concubine Wan's trusted palace maids, no one knew that beneath her gentle face was an ambitious heart.
In Li Fei's Yuqing Palace, Li Fei was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at the scars on her hands, her eyes full of anger. Her personal maid Bi Ling carefully applied medicine to her, not daring to say much.
Concubine Li suddenly said, "Biling, go check why the cat suddenly went crazy."
Biling was startled and quickly responded, "Yes, Madam."
Concubine Li snorted coldly: "I want to see who is behind this."
Although she was so angry that she pulled the little beast's skin hard, this little beast was usually docile and well-behaved. How could he suddenly go crazy? There must be someone who was jealous of her and plotted against her.
Concubine Li narrowed her beautiful eyes and recalled the time she was confined to her room three months ago.
Although she has closed the door to visitors now, the most important thing at the moment is to win the emperor's favor and prevent other concubines from taking advantage of the opportunity.
Thinking of this, Concubine Li called her other personal maid, Luqiao, and told her some things.
In Zhongcui Palace, Liu Xiuyuan was holding her newborn baby, her face filled with the glow of motherhood. Her personal maid Honglian was waiting beside her, her eyes full of envy.
Honglian said softly, "Xiuyuan, your majesty was very concerned about your delivery this time and sent someone to deliver supplements overnight."
Liu Xiuyuan smiled slightly. She knew that her birth had indeed improved her status in His Majesty's heart.
But she also knew that favor in the palace was unstable and she needed to be more cautious.
Honglian said again: "Xiuyuan, look, will the injury of Concubine Li have any impact on you this time?"
Liu Xiuyuan shook her head and said, "We shouldn't interfere too much in Concubine Li's affairs. As long as we do our own things well, His Majesty will naturally see it."
Although Liu Xiuyuan is young, she is very mature in her mind. She knows that it is very important to keep a low profile and be cautious in the palace. Now that she has a son, it is enough for her to live a stable life and watch her son grow up and be crowned as a king. It is enough for her to enjoy the happiness with her son.
During the ten months of her pregnancy, Emperor Chengming came once a month, but it was just according to customary practice to check on the royal heir in her belly.
Generally, Emperor Chengming stayed with Concubine Xu, Concubine Li and Concubine Wan.
She was just a little beauty who rose to the position of a noble lady thanks to her child.
Moreover, this child is the first healthy prince in the past five years, so she is so blessed.
Liu Xiuyuan is very self-aware, and now all she wishes is for her fifth prince to grow up safely.
The emperor's mind is unpredictable, and she did not dare to ask for too much favor from Emperor Chengming.
