Chapter 783 The Palace Maid's Revenge 5
"I know, I know," Jiang Chunxi said coquettishly while hugging the Queen Mother's arm. "I had a reason for being here today, so I couldn't help but provoke the Queen. Who asked the Queen's people to provoke me first?"
"Humph! It must be the Queen's order, otherwise would her people dare to do that?" Jiang Chunxi pouted again, "I just can't understand why I am such an eyesore to the Queen. It would have been fine if I was just a slave before, but now I'm the Consort, why is the Queen still holding on to me?"
"Even if they can't do anything to me, they still let the dogs out to annoy me. That Concubine Chun relied on the Queen's support and didn't take me and the Imperial Concubine seriously at all. If I don't give the Queen a hard time today, the dogs the Queen raised will come and bark at me every day when they pay their respects, which is really annoying."
"Chunpin is really too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth," the Queen Mother sneered, "Even Wu Changzai doesn't know what she is talking about. She relies on the Queen's support and dares to use the Emperor as a scapegoat."
“Madame Zhao,” the Queen Mother looked at Madame Zhao and said, “Go and convey my imperial decree. Demote Concubine Chun to a noble lady and Concubine Wu to a concubine. Warn them again, don’t think that you can say anything just because you have the Queen’s support. If it happens again, they will all be sent to the cold palace!”
"Yes." Nanny Zhao immediately walked outside.
"You are so kind, Empress Dowager," Jiang Chunxi leaned her head on the Empress Dowager's shoulder, "I knew that you would not watch me being bullied and would definitely help me vent my anger."
"Hmph! With your help, Queen Mother, in punishing Concubine Chun and Concubine Wu, I wonder if the Queen will dare to let the dog out to disgust me again in the future."
"You! I really can't do anything about you," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "With your temper, who dares to bully you? The Queen must be so angry about you that her chest hurts right now."
Jiang Chunxi: "Hehe! That's because I'm good. I was taught by you, the Queen Mother. If I don't fight back when I'm bullied and just let others bully me like a coward, then I'm failing your teachings and bringing shame to you."
"What a smooth talk you have!" The empress dowager happily touched Jiang Chunxi's lips with her finger.
The Empress Dowager and Jiang Chunxi were having a great time, but when Concubine Chun and Wu Chang received the Empress Dowager's imperial edict, they both collapsed to the ground, regretting everything in their hearts.
At the same time, the two of them also felt resentful towards the Queen. It was because of the Queen that they had encountered misfortune. Not only were they demoted, but they also offended the Queen Mother and even the Emperor...
It's over, it's over. Chunpin and Wu Changzai suddenly realized that they would never be favored again, so how could they not blame the queen and regretted deeply why they got on the queen's boat in the first place.
At the same time, Concubine Wang was here.
After leaving the Queen's Palace, Concubine Su went directly to Concubine Wang's Palace. When she heard the eunuch come in to report the Queen Mother's decree, Concubine Su said sourly, "Concubine Chen is so lucky. Not only does the Emperor love her, but even the Queen Mother protects her. No wonder she doesn't take the Queen seriously at all."
"My Lady, what do you think of what I just said?" Concubine Su looked at Concubine Wang and said, "That is palace power. I don't believe that you will not be moved at all."
"The Concubine Chen is so capable that both the Emperor and the Queen Mother dote on her. If she really wants the Queen to lose her power, I think she can just talk."
"After all, judging from the situation of paying respects today, Concubine Chen is determined to confront the Queen, and Concubine Chen will definitely compete with the Queen for the palace power." Yes, Concubine Su did not believe at all that Jiang Chunxi would take the palace power from the Queen and give it to her and Concubine Wang for nothing. "You and I are both born as ladies from noble families. If the Emperor passes over us and gives the Queen's palace power to Concubine Chen, I want to ask you if you will be convinced."
"So I think it is very necessary for us to join forces and let the Queen and the Concubine fight each other. How about we take advantage of the situation and let the Concubine get nothing?"
"It's nothing," Concubine Wang laughed sarcastically, "Concubine Su, if you want to die, that's your own business, don't involve me. The most important thing is, I'm not interested in palace power."
Concubine Su's face darkened. "Since the Imperial Concubine said so, I will not force you. I just don't know if the Imperial Concubine will still be able to maintain your calm demeanor when a woman who was born a lowly maid climbs on top of you one day."
"Hmph!" Then Concubine Su stood up and left angrily.
"Your Majesty, I think what Concubine Su said is not completely unreasonable," said Yun Yan, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Li. "I know that you love the emperor so much that you treat Concubine Chen with courtesy all the time."
"But the Concubine Chen was born a palace maid after all. Would Your Majesty be willing to be inferior to the Concubine Chen in the future? Given the Emperor's love for the Concubine Chen, if the Concubine Chen gave birth to a prince in the future, I'm afraid..."
"Okay, stop talking about that," Concubine Li naturally understood Yun Yan's words, "It's a blessing for me to have a daughter in my previous life. I never expected to give birth to a prince, so don't say that again in the future."
Human ambitions are never satisfied. Concubine Li was worried that if she gave birth to a prince, the Li family would develop inappropriate ambitions and the emperor would no longer tolerate the Li family.
Therefore, it would be good for her to have only one daughter in her life. This would be the best for both her and the Li family. As long as the Li family remained loyal to the emperor and did not support any prince in the future, the emperor would not do anything to the Li family even if he was afraid of the military power in the hands of the Li family, for the sake of the princess she gave birth to.
After hearing what her master said, Yun Yan naturally didn't dare to persuade him any further.
Meanwhile, on the Queen's side.
After hearing the eunuch's report, the queen frowned deeply and felt like her head was about to explode.
This is because I am angry!
The Queen Mother so openly protected that bitch Jiang Chunxi to slap her in the face as the Queen. The Queen felt that she was lucky not to die of anger.
"My queen, what's wrong with you?" Nanny Tian asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to send someone to call the imperial physician over?"
"No need," the Queen said coldly, gritting her teeth. "If I ask the imperial physician to come, the Queen Mother will probably think that I am dissatisfied with the imperial decree she issued."
"Sure enough, my previous worries were correct. If I let that bitch Jiang Chunxi become a concubine, it would cause me endless troubles. She has just become the concubine, and she has already severely insulted me, the queen, and trampled on my prestige. When she gives birth to a prince, I will probably give up my throne to her."
