Chapter 176 Drama
Only then did she realize that the behavior of the master and servant was actually revenge for the teacup she had thrown out to intimidate Zhou Lingge.
Zhou Lingge held the handkerchief against the corner of her lips, trying hard to hold back her laughter.
This girl Qiao'er is becoming smarter and more capable.
As expected of the person she favors... This knife is getting sharper and sharper.
She is very satisfied!
Zhou Shiya's face didn't look good. The nightmares she had suffered in the past few days had made her look thin and she looked like she had aged several years.
She knew that her mother would inevitably be wronged today.
But for the sake of the next plan, they had to continue to endure even if they were wronged.
Zhou Lingge is now favored by Qin Feiling.
She couldn't continue to be at odds with Zhou Lingge.
She had to ease her relationship with Zhou Lingge and let her let down her guard against her before she could continue with her plan of having a child through surrogacy.
Zhou Shiya coughed softly, walked up to Madam Zhou, and held her arm. "Mother...you were careless first. We are all family, so don't take it too seriously."
Mrs. Zhou knew she was in the wrong. She moved her lips and glanced at Zhou Lingge, who was now difficult to mess with... The words that were about to come to her throat were swallowed back in an instant.
After all, things are different now. The cowardly and timid concubine has now transformed into an extremely noble imperial concubine. She is no longer the lowly concubine who could be tortured and scolded at will.
Mrs. Zhou felt angry.
But she also knew that now was not the time to have an attack.
They have other important things to do and will definitely not allow any other accidents to happen at this critical juncture.
Mrs. Zhou swallowed all her grievances.
She even apologized to Zhou Lingge.
Zhou Lingge raised her eyebrows and looked at the mother and daughter with some surprise.
Oh, are they changing their strategy?
It seems... they are not here to call for punishment?
The imperial physician arrived soon and quickly bandaged Mrs. Zhou's wound.
Zhou Shiya curled her lips and smiled, looking at Zhou Lingge: "Your Highness, please don't hold it against mother. She just hasn't changed her mind yet... After all, she taught you with great care in the past, and this habit has become second nature. So after not seeing you for such a long time, it's natural for her to unconsciously take on the airs of a legitimate mother..."
Mrs. Zhou suppressed the anger in her heart, pulled the corners of her stiff mouth, and apologized to Zhou Lingge again.
Zhou Lingge looked at the mother and daughter, who were so humble, and she immediately found it interesting.
If they can act, then so can she!
It's quite interesting for everyone to act together.
Zhou Lingge immediately shook her head and smiled magnanimously. She put aside her grudges and raised her glass towards Madam Zhou: "Just now, it was me who accidentally hurt Mother. Mother, please don't be angry with me."
Madam Zhou waved her hands repeatedly and picked up the cup. "No, no, you and the Queen are the same. You are both my precious daughters. We are family, why would we be so fussy about things..."
During dinner, Zhou Shiya kindly invited Zhou Lingge to stay for dinner.
Zhou Lingge did not refuse and agreed readily.
The banquet had just begun when a palace attendant suddenly came in to announce, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived."
Zhou Shiya was stunned. She was a little dazed and a little unconvinced.
"Your Majesty is here?"
"Why is he here at this time?"
During the days she was ill, His Majesty had never set foot in Fengluan Palace, let alone come to see her.
Zhou Shiya turned her head to look at Zhou Lingge and immediately understood something.
Her heart suddenly felt as painful as if it were being pricked by needles.
Your Majesty, are you here to see Zhou Lingge?
Because Zhou Lingge was having dinner in Fengluan Palace, His Majesty... was willing to set foot in Fengluan Palace?
While Zhou Shiya was still in a daze, Qin Feiling had already strode into the hall under the guidance of the palace servants.
His eyes first fell on Zhou Lingge.
After confirming that she was safe and looked normal, his worries slowly subsided.
Almost subconsciously, he walked up to Zhou Lingge and held her hand very naturally.
Noticing that her hands were slightly cold, he frowned.
"Why are your hands so cold?"
Without saying a word, he asked Eunuch Liu to bring his cloak and put it on Zhou Lingge.
Mrs. Zhou's eyes were filled with surprise as she looked at the scene in disbelief.
Your Majesty, he...he dotes on Zhou Lingge too much, doesn't he?
She had never seen His Majesty be so attentive to any of the concubines.
It seemed that at this moment in his eyes, there was only Zhou Lingge, and he could not see the existence of anyone else.
It is obvious that her daughter is His Majesty's first wife.
Mrs. Zhou was extremely unhappy. Zhou Shiya took her hand and bowed respectfully to Qin Feiling.
Qin Feiling calmly asked them to stand up.
Madam Zhou quickly let go of the seat next to Zhou Shiya, and with a smile on her lips, she invited Qin Feiling to take a seat: "Your Majesty, please take a seat."
Qin Feiling didn't even look at her and ignored her.
He held Zhou Lingge's hand from beginning to end and sat next to her.
Zhou Shiya's originally pale cheeks suddenly became even paler.
Mrs. Zhou was almost going crazy.
Your Majesty, what does this mean?
Has he ignored his own daughter to this extent?
Madam Zhou didn't want to give in. She wanted to help her daughter gain the emperor's attention. She continued to smile and said, "Your Majesty, it's unreasonable for you to sit here."
"You should sit with the Queen..."
Qin Feiling frowned, his eyes full of impatience, and turned to look at Mrs. Zhou.
"Even the Queen Mother doesn't dare to interfere in my affairs... Who are you to dare to dictate to me?"
Mrs. Zhou's face suddenly turned pale.
Zhou Shiya was startled and quickly tugged at Madam Zhou's sleeve: "Mother, please quickly apologize to His Majesty."
Madam Zhou immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have overstepped my bounds."
Zhou Lingge smiled lightly, leaning against Qin Feiling's shoulder. "Your Majesty, please calm down... Mother may not have been to the palace many times, so she's not very familiar with the palace rules."
"When I first arrived at Fengluan Palace, my mother accidentally slipped and threw the teacup at my feet..."
Qin Feiling's face darkened when he heard this.
He looked at Madam Zhou coldly: "You actually threw a teacup at the imperial concubine?"
"Who gave you the courage? She is my concubine now, not the Fifth Miss of the Zhou family who you could bully and humiliate at will."
Madam Zhou was frightened and kowtowed quickly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I... I have already apologized to the Imperial Concubine..."
Zhou Lingge's eyes turned slightly, and she echoed, "Yes, mother has already apologized to me, Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Later, I accidentally slipped and hurt mother... Fortunately, mother was magnanimous and didn't hold it against me."
Qin Feiling looked at the gauze bandaged on Mrs. Zhou's forehead, and his anger eased a little.
He looked up at Zhou Shiya. "Why did you suddenly ask the Imperial Concubine to dine at Fengluan Palace when everything was fine? You're so sick, be careful not to infect the Imperial Concubine... The Imperial Concubine is pregnant, can she withstand such torture from you and your daughter?"
"Queen, you are becoming more and more out of control."
