Chapter 034: This is not easy to mess with
In Cuihua Palace, Concubine Hui sat on the main seat, and more than ten palace maids and eunuchs were waiting on both sides.
Concubine Hui was wearing a bright red gold palace dress, with two golden phoenix hairpins inlaid with silk inlaid with treasure beads obliquely inserted into her sideburns, and a white jade wrench on her fingers, her eyes were like fire, her face was cold, and she was full of majesty.
Concubine Hui was not from a noble background, and her father was only a fifth-grade official. She was elected to the palace as a show girl, and by chance won the favor of the emperor, and later gave birth to a dragon son for the emperor, which was for the second prince Murong Sheng. The harem is a place where mothers and sons are expensive, since there is a dragon son, the status of Hui Guifei in the harem has been greatly improved, coupled with the emperor's favor and the loss of power of Ping Guifei, she has gradually become a new upstart in the harem, even the queen has to be afraid of her for three points, in the harem can be said to be calling for wind and rain.
Liu Yingxue walked into the main hall of Cuihua Palace with curiosity, and the gorgeous carpet and extravagant decoration made Liu Yingxue dizzy. No wonder most women in the world want to be emperors, such a beautiful palace is really like a dream. Liu Yingxue was unconsciously intoxicated by it, and after a flash, she forgot to salute.
"Smack." A teacup shattered at Liu Yingxue's feet, which frightened Liu Yingxue, and then looked at Hui Guifei on the seat, her face was pale, obviously unhappy.
Liu Yingxue trembled and knelt down to salute, "The courtiers pay a visit to the noble concubine." β
Concubine Hui looked down, but she didn't let Liu Yingxue get up, and said uninterestedly, "Alas, the queen is really causing me trouble, and she sent some clumsy people to serve me." β
When Liu Yingxue heard this, she felt very uncomfortable, and she wanted to refute it, but she finally held back. This is the emperor's palace, although she is the governor's daughter, but she still understands the truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Concubine Hui said, drank tea by herself, and didn't speak again, while Liu Yingxue was still kneeling there.
After about a quarter of an hour, Liu Yingxue only felt that her knees hurt, and she really couldn't kneel, so she had the courage to shout out unexpectedly, "Guifei Niangniang." β
Concubine Hui glanced at Liu Yingxue, "Could it be that you are waiting for the palace to clean up the things on the ground for you?" β
Liu Yingxue looked at the fragments of the tea cup on the ground, and scolded in her heart: Aren't there so many palace maids around you? Why do you want me to do this kind of rough work? I'm here to chat with you to relieve your boredom, and I'm not here to be a rough maid for you.
Despite so many complaints in her heart, Liu Yingxue didn't dare to say it, so she had to stand up and bow down to pick up the debris on the ground.
"Smack!" Concubine Hui slapped the table hard, so frightened that Liu Yingxue's hand shook, a fragment cut through the jade finger, and blood suddenly flowed out.
"Did Hongu get you up?" Hui Guifei stared at her apricot eyes, as if she was on fire, and stared straight at Liu Yingxue and asked.
Liu Yingxue was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, and there was a sharp pain in her knees, Liu Yingxue is the youngest daughter of the Liu family, she has been loved by three thousand since she was a child, and she was held in the palm of her hand by the whole family, where she had suffered such a grievance, she could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart, and tears rolled down her cheeks instantly.
"Yo, why are you crying? Did Hongu bully you? When Concubine Hui saw Liu Yingxue's appearance of pear blossoms with rain, not only did she not pity her, but she became even more angry.
Liu Yingxue shook her head again and again, "The courtiers don't dare." β
Hui Guifei got up and flicked her sleeves, "Hmph! Hongu hates to see this crying and crying look the most. Li, you watched her clean up here, and Bengong went back to rest first. β
After Concubine Hui left, Liu Yingxue didn't dare to get up, she kept kneeling on the ground, picking up the fragments little by little under the supervision of Li Mo, her fingers were scratched four or five times, she didn't dare to open her mouth to cry out for pain, she could only endure this lip, and silently called in her heart to hurry up and save herself.
When Concubine Hui returned to the inner room, the second prince, Murong Sheng, had been waiting for a long time.
Today's emperor has many heirs, but only the second prince Murong Sheng and the crown prince Murong Ge are more favored. The crown prince was born by the queen, was the eldest son, and was named the prince as soon as he was born, and Murong Sheng was the second son, when he was born, it was when Hui Guifei was favored, the emperor loved the house and Wu, and he also loved Murong Sheng, and was later named King Wu.
"Who is so bold to make the mother concubine angry like this?" Murong Sheng saw that Concubine Hui's face was not quite right, so he stepped forward and asked.
Concubine Hui waved her hand, "It's nothing, I don't know what the queen has in mind, she placed the four girls of the Liu family next to the palace, and when she sees her in the palace, it is like seeing the queen, and she is so annoyed." β
Murong Sheng helped Concubine Hui to sit down, "Alas! The four girls of the Liu family are nothing, but the second girl of the Liu family is a headache! β
At the mention of Liu Shihua, Hui Guifei immediately became interested, "Oh? You're going to test her? The result? β
Murong Sheng couldn't help but shake his head, "Erchen asked Bai Yueteng to send Lin Yu's broken sword to Liu Shihua, but according to Bai Yueteng's report, this Liu Shihua didn't react, as if nothing had happened. β
"You let Bai Yue go? Can he be trusted? Hui Guifei played with the wrench in her hand and asked slowly.
Murong Sheng smiled disappreδΈι¨ly, "That Bai Yueteng is a scholar with no brains, he doesn't dare to deceive his sons." β
"Oh?" Concubine Hui raised her eyes, "In this way, this Liu Shihua City Mansion is deep enough." β
Murong Sheng also sighed, "Yes, it is worthy of being a descendant of the Lan family, and the broken sword can be sent to the front as if nothing happened, so that it does not leak." β
"You can't be mistaken, can you? Maybe she is not a descendant of the Lan family at all. Concubine Hui asked suspiciously.
"Is what Lin Yan said personally?"
After a moment of silence, Concubine Hui's face showed a wicked smile, "If she is really the descendant of the Lan family, we use her to turn over the old past, the An family, the Bai family or even the Gu family, I'm afraid no one will be able to escape the involvement, and then the queen will inevitably fall out of favor, and the prince's status will not be guaranteed, that is the best time for us to seek great things." β
Murong Sheng nodded in agreement, with irrepressible joy on his face, as if he had succeeded now, "Mother Concubine is very right, Liu Shihua is now in the palace, without relatives and no reason, I'm afraid that Concubine Ping doesn't know her identity yet, if we can take advantage of this opportunity to bring her over, it will definitely be a big deal." β
Hui Guifei shook her head cautiously, "No, you are too underestimated to look at Concubine Ping, Liu Shihua is now the person next to her, if we intend to win over, she will be suspicious, the safest way is to remain silent on the surface, wait and see what happens, this time Concubine Ping Guifei to Jinling, I guarantee that she is not just about wanting to see her hometown." β
Murong Sheng nodded, "Erchen obeys the orders of the concubine and will not startle the snake." β
Concubine Hui smiled meaningfully, "Well, if you have a chance, you have to go to the palace to meet her for a while." β
