Chapter 153 The Five Powers of Imperial Concubine* (5)

Song Yuesheng guessed wrong. Xiao Guixi did not come and only sent Xiao Fuzi to deliver tonic.

Not only that, but no one was seen monitoring her in the following days.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Song Yuesheng changed his posture and supported his head, listening attentively to the sound of the guqin played by the musician in front of him.

Isn’t it humiliating enough to play the piano in public on the Lantern Festival night? What evil thing is he planning now?

Suddenly, the music disappeared, and the musician walked up to Song Yuesheng and bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, the day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. It is impossible to learn "Yangchun" in two days. I am a dull servant, and I hope Your Highness can tell me why you have been here every day."

Song Yuesheng raised her eyes slightly and said, "Just play the music quietly, I will not treat you unfairly."

The musician still maintained a respectful attitude, clasped his hands together, and bowed his head slightly: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and I admire you. But I know that I am not very intelligent, and I am afraid that I will not be able to understand your deep intentions. If I offend you and make things difficult for you, then I will never be able to atone for my sins even if I die a hundred times."

Song Yuesheng nodded slightly, her fingers lightly swiping across the tabletop, as if she was thinking. Then, her eyes fell on the gleaming fruit knife.

She gently picked up the fruit knife and spun it lightly in her hand a few times, as if the knife had turned into a nimble butterfly in her hand.

She just raised her wrist, and the dagger flew through the air like a meteor and accurately pierced into the tree trunk beside her.

The dagger had sunk into the wood a bit, leaving only a section of the handle exposed, as if silently telling of the owner's firmness and decisiveness.

The musician was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Don't think that I know nothing." Song Yuesheng patted his shoulder, leaned over and whispered, "Musician is really elegant. You only come to my palace for two hours every day, and Wen Man only stays for half an hour. I didn't expect that you can still flirt with others in such a short time."

The musician looked up in shock: "Your Highness."

"Wen Man can ask Tao Xiang to tell you to monitor me every day, so I will naturally have a backup plan."

Song Yuesheng didn't notice it at first, but Taoxiang flirted with the musician more and more frequently day by day, and it was hard for her not to pay attention.

She caught a glimpse of the two people coming in, paused, and then said, "It's the Lantern Festival, I won't tell anyone casually. Musician, people are here, remember what to say and what not to say."

"I understand, and I will obey your majesty's order."

The musician bowed, sat back in front of the guqin, plucked the strings with his fingers, and the music began to rise again.

Compared to before, the song has a bit more resentment and unwillingness.

He will endure it for two days, and when the Lantern Festival comes, everything will be fine.

"Sister Song, why are you still so leisurely?" Wen Man could hardly hide the smile on her face.

It was unprecedented for a concubine in the harem to play music in public. Even if it was Xiao Guixi's order, Song Yuesheng, who was so proud, could not stand being laughed at by others, and would definitely make a scene that day. Xiao Guixi would not allow anyone to challenge the imperial power, and his anger would lead to Song Yuesheng's death.

Song Yuesheng looked at the chair beside him and said, "Since you are here, just listen to the music."

Not far away, Qiao Yue nervously stopped Qiao Xin and asked tentatively: "Qiao Xin, you usually have the most ideas. The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Has the Queen ever mentioned to you how to avoid the ancient music playing this time?"

Qiao Xin shook her head and consoled her, "Your Majesty is very thoughtful and will definitely find a way to turn danger into safety. As your personal maids, we must remain calm and not panic, lest we cause more trouble to you."

She looked at Song Yuesheng who was leisurely listening to music in the yard, and some thoughts came to her mind.

The queen said she would find an excuse not to go.

But as Your Majesty is a noble concubine, if you don't have a legitimate reason, Your Majesty will not be able to get past you, and other concubines will use this as an opportunity to cause trouble.

Not to mention the distant consequences, Concubine Wen will definitely not let the Empress go.

I don't know how the rumor got around these days, but it was actually said that Her Majesty wanted to eliminate Concubine Wen and only have Concubine Song in the harem.

"Your words make me feel more at ease."

Qiao Yue's nervous mood calmed down a little. She caught a glimpse of the uninvited person out of the corner of her eye. She took the plate from Qiao Xin and said with a smile.

"I'll help you deliver the pastries."

The action was so quick that Qiao Xin didn't have a chance to refute.

Qiao Xin was stunned.

After a moment, she shook her head and sighed.

The Empress and Concubine Wen have not yet fallen out, but Qiao Yue and Tao Xiang dislike each other and make sarcastic remarks to each other every time they come together.

She should go and complete the task assigned by the Queen.

the other side.

Qiao Yue put the cake on the table and said loudly, "Madam, this is the Eight Treasures Cake made by the kitchen today."

Taoxiang rolled her eyes. She treated a few pieces of medicinal herbs as treasures. What was there to show off every day?

Is there no reward in Ronghua Palace?

I've been feeling depressed for a few days and now I can finally let it out.

She looked at Song Yuesheng with a smile.

"Noble Concubine Song, if His Majesty knew that your maidservant had made all the medicinal herbs he sent into cakes and soups, he would probably blame her. And the day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, Noble Concubine Song, no matter how much you delay, it will be useless."

"I have the right to dispose of anything that was gifted to me, whether it was used to make medicine or to be made into cakes by the cook. How dare you, a maid in Ronghua Palace, criticize me?"

Song Yuesheng snorted and refuted selectively.

Taoxiang was so scared that she knelt down immediately.

Wen Man smiled calmly and reached out to pull Taoxiang up from the ground.

"Sister Song, Taoxiang is just worried about you, she has no other intentions."

A hint of indifference flashed across Song Yuesheng's eyes, and she slightly opened her red lips.

"Fortunately, we are in my palace today. Sister Wen, if you don't teach this maid well, if she gets into trouble in the future, won't it cause trouble for you? I will discipline her for you."

She raised her hand and said, "There are many fallen leaves in my yard. Taoxiang, for the sake of Concubine Wen, I will punish you to sweep for one stick of incense. Qiaoyue, take Taoxiang to get a broom."

Wen Man stood in front of Tao Xiang.

After her rebirth, the only one who treated her best was Taoxiang, and she couldn't let her suffer any grievances from Song Yuesheng.

She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "Sister Song, Taoxiang is my personal maid. Her words and deeds should be taught by me personally. You and I have the same status and cannot be surpassed."

Song Yuesheng had a kind smile on his lips, and said slowly: "Since you are so determined to protect it, I will not have to clean it. Qiaoyue, you can take Taoxiang directly to Xinzheku and let her learn the rules there, so that she can better serve Sister Wen in the future."

As Song Yuesheng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire palace seemed to freeze for a moment.

Taoxiang looked ashen.

Wen Man stared at Song Yuesheng coldly: "Let me see who dares to take action?"

She took a step forward, grabbed Song Yuesheng's arm, and revealed her true character: "Song Yuesheng, if you dare to do anything, I will tell Xiao Guixi how you framed the late queen."

Song Yuesheng smiled and whispered.

"Sister Wen, you were far away from Linjing before entering the palace, so most of what you heard was hearsay. But I can tell you about the romantic affair between the late queen and General Ye Cenxishan."

Wen Man's pupils dilated for a moment. She coughed lightly and said in a cover-up: "What romantic affair? I don't understand what you mean."

Finally, she raised her voice with her eyes wide open, and threatened fiercely: "If you take Taoxiang away, I will kill all the members of the Song family. Song Yuesheng, don't think that your Song family is clean."

Song Yuesheng shrugged and sat back in his chair: "Then there will be no punishment."

She had no intention of punishing.

During the days of recuperation, Concubine Li and her companions came once or twice, but she advised them not to come again.

She didn't want them to get involved.

I was bored in Jiangxue Palace, so I wanted to find some fun.

Now that the interest has worn off, of course I don’t want to continue playing around.

Wen Man insisted: "Song Yuesheng, if you want to punish me, then punish me. If you don't want to punish me, then don't punish me. Do you think you are the only one in the harem? I am also a concubine appointed by the emperor himself!"

"You are so fickle, I have tolerated you for a long time! I will live longer than you, wait and see what happens to you."

"Momoka, let's go!"
