Chapter 444 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (12)

"Why is the Queen always feeling unwell? Has Madam Gui ever asked the imperial physician?"

The imperial concubine fired the first shot, her eyes fierce and she wished she could rush in and pull the queen out.

"Madam Gui, we all know that health is the most important thing, but from the selection of concubines to today's new concubines entering the palace to pay their respects, the Empress has not shown up. Is this a bit inappropriate?"

Defei followed closely behind. The two of them did not get along, but they were even more enemies than the Queen.

It was not appropriate for the newlyweds to speak in such occasions, but everyone was holding their breath because of the Queen's actions.

Zheng Xiurong, who had the highest rank among them, also expressed concern for the queen's health in a tactful tone, "It is the rule for us newlyweds to come and pay our respects to the queen. If we cancel it for no reason, what should we do if the emperor blames us?"

They still had to compete for favor to bring honor to the family, but now they couldn't even get through the main door when they came to Fengyi Palace. Zheng Xiurong, who had never suffered such an injustice, was very angry, and the other newcomers behind her also spoke up, perhaps thinking that the law should not punish the masses. After all, there were so many people in front of them, so how could they be afraid of an old nanny in the deep palace?

Aunt Gui:......

Nanny Gui knew that the situation was not good, and she didn't want the Imperial Concubine and the De Concubine to be so impatient. The new concubines were also very brave.

She explained stiffly that the Queen had been unwell and had already reported to the Emperor, and that Fengyi Palace would not be seeing guests today, "Please go back as soon as possible, ladies."

pat-

The open palace gate was closed from the inside, and this action also served as an order to expel everyone.

Well, the whole group of people were stunned!

The Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine were stunned. They both didn't expect that the Queen would dare to play such a big game. It seemed that she really didn't want the position of Queen anymore.

"You little slave, what are you still standing there for? Go back to the palace!"

The imperial concubine was so angry that she threw things around and even wanted to kill someone when she sat in the sedan chair.

De Fei watched the Imperial Concubine leave in disgrace. She looked thoughtfully at the confused new concubine, smiled and followed her away. "There is still half a piece of writing to be completed, Yunxiang, we can't delay here."

The two high-ranking concubines left one after another, and the rest of the people calmed down.

People began to consciously focus their attention on Zheng Xiurong and Deng Chongyuan, because they were the only two of the Nine Concubines present.

Shen Yao's face looked a little bad. What is this called? This is called the plan is not as fast as the change.

Oh my God, she was dressed so ostentatiously today, just to make her presence felt so that the emperor would remember her, but she didn't expect the queen to mess everything up without her showing up. What on earth does this person want to do?

"We, the newcomers, must abide by the palace rules. Since the queen is unwell, we can't stay at the door and disturb her too much. Sisters, please go back quickly."

Zheng Xiurong first bowed towards the gate of Fengyi Palace, and then left with her maid.

Deng Chongyuan followed closely behind. Both of them were typical people who knew when to quit. Without the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine blocking them in front, it would be irrational for them to show up again. They hadn't seen the Emperor yet, so who knew the true relationship between the Empress and the Emperor? It would be a shame to narrow their path.

Shen Yao also took Xiaofu and Xiaoji to the door and bowed and greeted them. Her voice was weak and without any emotion.

"Master, shall we go back to Hibiscus Palace?"

Xiaofu held Shen Yao's arm and asked a question carefully.

"It's too early to go back to the palace. Let's go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden." Shen Yao's plan was interrupted and she couldn't muster up any energy until she got on the sedan chair and was carried to the Imperial Garden by the palace servants.

At this time, the garden is full of flowers and the fragrance is overwhelming.

Shen Yao was followed by Xiaofu and Xiaoji. The master and servant walked along the road, enjoying the scenery while calming down the commotion that had just occurred at the gate of Fengyi Palace.

"Given the efficiency of the palace nowadays, the news should have spread."

Shen Yao picked a bright red flower at random, carefully pulled out the thorns on it and held it in her hand.

The flowers have a sweet scent that lingers on the nose for a long time.

Shen Yao took a deep breath and signaled Xiaofu to find the craftsmen in the Imperial Garden to collect these flowers and bring them back to Hibiscus Palace for bathing.

"Host, any concubine with some connections knows about this."

The system admired the Queen's courage and repeatedly slapped the Emperor in the face. It knew that the Emperor got angry in the Qianqing Palace and smashed half of the imperial study.

"Do you think the palace of Yu is strange?" Shen Yao pulled off the petals and crushed them slowly. "The queen is willful, the imperial concubine and the virtuous concubine are on the front line, and the other concubines rarely show up. "There are obviously many people living in the palace, and it should be a lively scene to pay respects in the morning. Where are the people?

system:……

The system was silent for a long time, and finally said haltingly that last night the Queen sent someone to tell the other palace masters not to come today. Only the newlyweds, the Imperial Concubine, and the Virtuous Concubine did not receive it.

Shen Yao:......

"What does the Queen mean? Did she do it on purpose?" She was just playing around.

The system weakly defended, "Host, the Queen talked to the maids around her and felt that the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine needed help in managing the six palaces. It was a long-established rule for the newlyweds to pay their respects in the palace, so they didn't specifically send anyone to inform them."

Shen Yao sneered, "Even a mechanical life like you wouldn't believe such a lame excuse."

It's even more perfunctory than a perfunctory attitude, and is a perfect example of a very bad strategy.

System: ...Although, what the host said is true.

"The Queen did it on purpose, using this as an excuse to show it to the Emperor," Shen Yao walked to a pavilion and sat down, "The Queen is provoking the Emperor!"

Whether before or now, the Queen is deliberately trying to provoke the Emperor.

"Why? This will not do any good to the Queen." The biggest boss in the palace is the Emperor.

Shen Yao threw the half-destroyed flowers into the pond. The fragrance of the flowers attracted the surrounding fish to gather around. "They need to ask themselves. You and I don't know about the old things in the early years."

Shen Yao spread out her palms and slowly stretched them out of the pavilion, letting the warm light shine on her exposed wrists.

It took a while for the system to say that someone was coming, but the Imperial Garden was very large, and if Shen Yao didn't move, the two sides would not collide.

"Is it true?" Shen Yao didn't believe it.

The system was infuriated, saying that its professionalism was beyond doubt, but why did that person come straight to the pavilion? Hello? Wasn't his intention too obvious?

Shen Yao put her hands down and motioned Xiaofu and Xiaoji to come forward and help her straighten her clothes.

Xiaofu still didn't quite understand. There was no one around, so why did the master care about his makeup?

Shen Yao spoke slowly, her eyes fixed on the rockery in the distance, "There will be guests coming soon, but I don't know if they are good guests or bad guests."

Xiaofu, Xiaoji: ...Hmm?

Xiaofu and Xiaoji quickly understood what their master meant when he said that there were guests visiting.

Looking at the strange beauty whose attire was very similar to that of their master rushing towards them angrily, Xiaofu and Xiaoji were afraid but subconsciously stood in front of their master.

"Where did this cat or dog come from? Get out of my way!"

The beauty is beautiful, but she has a very bad temper and makes people disgusted when she speaks.

"That's right, our queen is the Tang beauty of Changle Palace."

"If you know what's best for you, get out of the way. Not everyone can sit in the pavilion in the Imperial Garden."

The maidservants around the beauty started out by flattering the powerful and belittling the weak.

Shen Yao was somewhat suspicious whether the reason why this Lady Tang was favored by the Emperor was because his taste had changed. She had never seen a beauty of the fourth rank being so arrogant and domineering in front of a concubine of the third rank.

Waving her hand to tell Xiaoji and Xiaofu not to argue with each other, Shen Yao smiled and said, "It turns out to be Miss Tang. I have heard of your name for a long time, but it is not as good as seeing you today."

Turning sideways to make room for the other person to pass, Shen Yao raised her hand and touched the tassels that fell down, "Lady Tang may have never seen me. If you are bored in the future, you can come to Furong Palace to chat."

After saying that, Shen Yao took Xiaofu's arm and left. She stumbled accidentally as she walked out of the pavilion, causing her neatly-knit hair to instantly become messy like flowers scattered from heaven.

The meticulously crafted hair ran from the back to the chest, and the hanging tassels swayed, lifting two strands of hair, giving Shen Yao a breathtakingly messy beauty.

Xiaofu and Xiaoji were startled and hurriedly asked if their master was okay.

Shen Yao shook her head. "Nothing, go back to the palace."

The master and his two servants left in a panic along the path they came from, looking very different from the group of people led by Lady Tang who were acting so arrogantly behind them.

Maybe this is what drama is? It’s hard to tell what’s going on when you’re alone, but once there are others around to cooperate, it can bring unexpected results.

"Let's go back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity"

The middle-aged emperor who was enjoying the view in the attic behind the rockery waved his hand. It was supposed to be a trip to relax, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

Li Guiquan, who had served the emperor closely for many years, was able to understand the situation and pointed out that the person who had just left was the new Concubine Shen.

As for Concubine Tang, she became a little overconfident after being favored. The Emperor had long been fed up with her, and today's incident further aggravated his bad impression of Concubine Tang.

Tut tut

Just tell me why you have to be so upset. You don't want to be a good and obedient concubine, but you have to make a scene until you fall out of favor and it will be difficult to turn things around.

The imperial concubine of Yongning Palace is still eyeing them covetously. This beautiful lady Tang really has no plan at all.

Li Guiquan complained in his heart, but did not forget to report the matter of Fengyi Palace to the emperor.

The emperor must be aware of the commotion. Li Guiquan estimated that she would not be able to remain queen for long because the emperor's patience was limited.

As long as the families of the concubines entering the palace this time can perform well, the position of queen will definitely be used as a bargaining chip by the emperor, just like the queen was able to sit firmly on the position of queen back then.

As people get older, they tend to recall things from their early years. Some right and wrong become less important, and only the results can be preserved.

The Queen? It's not a pity, it's the Queen's family, the Xiao family, that's a pity.

Back in the day, the Xiao family was extremely powerful, but now they have become extinct.

"Li Guiquan, summon Concubine Shen to sleep with you today, and bring her to the Qianqing Palace to have dinner together."

The emperor's words brought Li Guiquan's thoughts back to reality.

Li Guiquan said in a servile manner that the matter would definitely be done.

"It's not enough to just get it done. Go to the storehouse and get some accessories that women like. Today, I saw Concubine Shen, and she looks very suitable for that flowing gauze dress. So send the fabrics over as well."

The emperor waved his hand and let Shen Yao receive the reward before she even went to bed with him.
