Chapter 213 The storm arises
"waste."
A cup of tea fell at Concubine Rou's feet, causing her to tremble all over and kneel on the ground, not daring to speak.
Concubine Li had an angry look on her face. "You were asked to do something like this, but you couldn't even do it properly. You are such a useless person."
"It looks like you don't want to see the Second Princess again."
This Concubine Rou was beautiful and gentle in nature. She was originally a maidservant of Concubine Li.
If it weren't for Concubine Li, her child would never have been born successfully.
Concubine Li took control of the second princess of Concubine Rou and made her a chess piece in her hands.
Roupin's family lives under the rule of Concubine Li.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Rou became the only woman in the palace to be given a title.
Concubine Li became even more jealous, and ordered her to bring up court affairs during the emperor's sleep, which immediately displeased Chang Liu and caused her to lose favor.
For the sake of his parents, brothers, and the second princess who was held in the palm of Concubine Li's hand.
Concubine Rou became Concubine Li's wife, even at the cost of losing the emperor's favor.
"No, Madam, please give me another chance. I will definitely satisfy you."
When Concubine Rou heard that Concubine Li did not allow her to see her daughter, she became so anxious that she burst into tears.
Unfortunately, Concubine Li had a cold face and remained indifferent no matter how much Concubine Rou cried.
"The Queen is now investigating the source of Yanxiang. Have you cleaned up your mess?"
Concubine Rou nodded quickly, "I have already cleaned up the source of the fragrant scent."
"I will never let the Queen find out about me, and I will never let Her Majesty be implicated because of it."
"The scent didn't fall on Concubine Shen, but Concubine Wen was still confined. It's worth getting rid of Concubine Wen."
"Lady Wen has a gentle personality and looks like Concubine Zheng. Lady Shen has a cold and aloof personality and will definitely not be favored by your majesty."
As expected, Concubine Li listened to it, and her armor tapped lightly on the teacup.
Those charming eyes were a bit arrogant, as if they looked down on everyone.
He targeted Concubine Shen at the beginning because she was beautiful and very likely to become a threat to him.
But now, after listening to Concubine Rou's analysis, she felt that she had calculated against the wrong person, and it seemed that there was no loss at all.
Concubine Li raised her eyebrows slightly, "Yesterday, I saw Concubine Shen was dull and boring, and she was full of Buddhist teachings, which was very stupid."
"She even pleaded for Lady Wen out of kindness. It seems that I overestimate her."
"Alright, I'll let you off this time. Go and have a good look at the Second Princess."
When Concubine Rou heard that Concubine Li agreed to let her meet the second princess, her face was filled with joy.
She quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and bowed to Concubine Li.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam."
In Concubine Rou's eyes, her daughter is the most important.
Concubine Zheng was having a meal in Ziming Palace, but there was a hint of annoyance in her words.
"This Lady Wen was plotted against right after she entered the palace. This really makes me upset."
After all, Concubine Wen now lives in a side hall of Ziming Palace.
Since something happened to someone in her own palace, Concubine Zheng was inevitably called in by Queen Wang to be reprimanded.
Liuli asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, how can you be sure that Concubine Wen was framed by someone else? Maybe she brought Yanxiang into the palace herself."
The women in the palace would use every possible means to gain favor.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zheng gently put down her chopsticks and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
"I don't need to guess who did this despicable trick."
"Li Guifei has always been infatuated with Your Majesty. Wasn't it her who schemed against me and almost killed the Second Prince?"
"She hates to see beautiful women entering the palace to share her favor, but for some reason, she has set her sights on Lady Wen."
"This Lady Wen is gentle and beautiful, but Lady Shen is even better. Concubine Li's attention should be on Lady Shen."
The head palace maid was very considerate and stepped forward to serve Concubine Zheng a cup of tea.
"I am a stupid servant, but this matter is obviously difficult. Your Majesty should not interfere."
"nature."
Concubine Zheng took a sip of her tea and said, "The best thing I should do now is to turn a blind eye."
Originally, Concubine Zheng was very unhappy when Queen Wang sent someone in.
On the one hand, her second prince was frail and the imperial physician had diagnosed that he should not be frightened since he was young. With too many people in the palace, it would inevitably be noisy.
Queen Wang pushed two people in, obviously she was not interested in drinking.
Compared to the desolation in Wen Changwan's side hall, Xianxian had just received the news that her name card had been called, so this side hall was extremely lively.
"This is truly a great thing. The master is the first of the newcomers to be favored by the emperor. Your Majesty will surely be fascinated by the master."
Fuliu and Bodhi had smiles on their faces and were happily helping Xianxian to dress up.
Qiu Shui, who was standing by, held the clothes that Xianxian was going to wear.
At this time, there was a noisy sound outside the door. It turned out that the nanny in front of the Queen Mother came, and she was holding a statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, in her hand.
Xianxian hurriedly stood up and went forward to greet him.
"Why are you here, Madam? Is the Queen Mother looking for me?"
The nanny smiled and said, "The Queen Mother sent me to give you a statue of Guanyin. I hope that Shen will give birth to a son soon."
The statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, is extremely beautiful. It is made entirely of white jade and was the empress dowager’s dowry when she entered the palace.
The Queen Mother personally sent someone to deliver Guanyin, which was a unique honor in the palace.
Xianxian quickly leaned forward to express her gratitude, "Thank you Queen Mother for your reward. I will remember it in my heart."
"Qiu Shui, quickly offer up the fertility-giving Guanyin."
"Yes."
The nanny didn't stay too long. After seeing Xianxian accept the fertility-granting Guanyin, she left.
In the side hall on the other side, Wen Changwan's maid Lianxin was feeling very distressed for Wen Changwan.
"Master, why don't we close the door so that we don't have to listen to the noise coming from next door. I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable if you hear it."
Lianxin is Wen Changwan's personal maid, and the two grew up together.
In the plot, she goes through life and death for Wen Changwan, and gradually grows into a capable and independent head maid.
Wen Changwan has recovered from her panic and is now thinking of a way to solve her predicament.
She chose to enter the palace, firstly to prevent her stepmother from getting her wish, and secondly to try her luck, which was her best way out.
She thought of Xianxian pleading for her in the morning, and immediately spoke to Lianxin.
"I am under house arrest now, but that doesn't mean others can't come to see me. Go find Concubine Shen and ask her to come and see me."
I don't know why Concubine Shen pleaded for me.
But Wen Changwan could conclude that Concubine Shen was not her enemy and had no ill will towards her.
If you want to harm someone in the palace, the smaller the plan, the fewer mistakes there will be.
But if it is a huge plan, there will be more involved and it will be easier to find flaws.
The person who framed you will definitely clean up his head and tail, and all you can do is find a way out with the evidence.
Lian Xin said with a puzzled look on her face, "Master, would Concubine Shen be willing to help us?"
In fact, Wen Changwan was also confused, but she knew that if she didn't get out of the predicament as soon as possible, there would be no chance of recovery in the future.
The maid who taught her etiquette before she entered the palace had hinted to her that the current emperor attached great importance to etiquette.
When new brides came into the palace, His Majesty would select them in order of their family background.
Concubine Shen's family background is the most prominent. I am ranked fourth among the newcomers, and my appearance is not outstanding.
If he couldn't wash off the dirt on his body within two days, he would not have the chance to sleep with the emperor for the first time.
