"The concubine knows that the concubine is unwilling to accept the concubine, and the concubine naturally doesn't want to get in the way of the concubine's eyes here," Chen Tang said angrily kicking away a pearl that rolled to his feet, looking at the milky white bead, rolling farther and farther, and finally falling into the pond. As if she didn't want to pretend anymore, she showed the high-minded appearance she usually had.

Chen Tang glared viciously, the agility and humility in her eyes just now had long since disappeared, replaced by full of unwillingness and anger, she almost gritted her teeth and asked, "What did the concubine do not do well?" provoked the lady to dislike it so much! ”

Du Qinyue looked at her showing her fox tail, raised the corners of her lips with satisfaction, sat down again, and said with a smile: "Why is my sister so uncontrollable, although this palace is not as magnanimous as the queen's mother, it will not bother with a little girl like you." ”

As soon as Chen Tang heard her mention the queen, he immediately became angry, he came to join Concubine Shu, not to bring down the queen with her, she actually said this about herself.

She also sat down and looked directly into Concubine Shu's eyes, "The concubine just wanted to ask you for an explanation before leaving today." Chen Tang looked at the exquisite jewelry on the table, and her eyes were red again, she chose so carefully today, but Concubine Shu's eyes looked at these jewelry as if she was looking at garbage.

"After Bengong heard that my sister was a businessman, she was rich and wealthy, and it was not surprising for Bengong to poke widely." Du Qinyue now wanted to humiliate Chen Tang, and her tone of voice slowed down.

Chen Guiren stared at her incomprehensibly, and listened to her continue: "But sister, you are young and simple-minded after all, and there are many things in this world that money can't buy. Concubine Shu was obviously talking about compliments, but Chen Tang sounded extremely harsh.

Du Qinyue looked at her pale face, and felt more and more interesting, "Besides, in this palace, sister, you really overestimate your financial resources." ”

Chen Tang's arm swept all the jewelry on the table down, and it fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.

Seeing her like this, Concubine Shu sneered, "No wonder after being a businessman, he has no brains at all except money." ”

When Chen Tang heard her say this, a pair of jade hands tore a handkerchief in her sleeve, and she took a deep breath to calm down. Chen Guiren knew that he had not yet reached the point of being confused, but this was in the palace of the concubine, how could he be angry in public.

"The concubine came today and delayed nearly half a day's work, but I didn't expect it to be a bamboo basket for water." Although Chen Tang had a smile on his face, the anger in his eyes would be ready to gush out at any time and burn Concubine Shu to ashes.

She bowed and said, "Niangniang, you have to remember your actions today, and his concubine will definitely return it in the future." ”

"Oh?" Du Qinyue heard a nice joke last time, and they all laughed out loud, "A noble person who only relies on his appearance to win the emperor's affection, how dare he say such a thing in front of this palace?" ”

Chen Tang forced the corners of her mouth and smiled, she said slowly: "The concubine is abrupt. Chen Tang is not unaware of his current situation, although the emperor likes it for a while, but the queen is standing opposite, and now the concubine is extremely dislike herself, of course, she can't continue to make enemies in the palace.

Du Qinyue looked at Chen Guiren's back as she left, slightly shaky, which was very different from the confident appearance when she first came. She smiled and bent her eyebrows, and muttered to herself: "What cats and dogs want to come to this palace to ask for some benefits, it's really whimsical!" ”

In the evening, Concubine Xia was taking off her earrings, and she heard a report from the palace maid who came in: "The emperor went to the queen's palace again tonight." ”

She looked at her haggard appearance in the bronze mirror and sighed slightly. Since the queen went to send soup to the emperor twice that day, and after the ban was lifted, she monopolized the emperor's favor, no wonder Chen Guiren was so anxious to go to the concubine.

"By the way, what will be the result of Chen Guiren going to Concubine Shuniang today?" Xia Concubine turned her head to look at the palace maid kneeling on the ground and asked in a low voice.

The palace maid hesitated a little before reporting: "The slave maid doesn't know, but I heard that those palace maids in the palace of the lady concubine seemed to say that Chen Guiren touched the ash of the nose at the lady concubine, and finally left angrily." ”

"Got it." Xia Concubine's eyes lost focus and fell into contemplation again.

After Chen Tang returned to Chaoyang Palace, he felt so embarrassed for the first time, and then he was aggrieved, buried his head in the brocade quilt and cried for a long time. Her temper has always been short-tempered, and the palace maid did not dare to persuade her.

Early the next morning, Xia Concubine got up early and went straight to Concubine Shu after freshening up.

When Du Qinyue saw her positive appearance, she knew that Xia Concubine must have something to say to herself, but she didn't want to listen to it at this time, so she ordered the palace maid to take out the chessboard and say that she wanted to play a game with Xia Concubine.

Xia Concubine was not in a hurry, she picked up a white child with two fingers, and said with a smile: "Since the mother is willing, the concubine will naturally accompany her." ”

Du Qinyue always had to think for a long time before she fell, which gave Xia Concubine enough time to speak.

Xia Concubine dropped a white chess piece, looked up and observed Concubine Shu's expression, and then said cautiously: "Niangniang, that Chen Guiren from Chaoyang Palace came to you yesterday?" ”

"Well," Du Qinyue played chess very seriously, and her mood couldn't help but feel a lot better, and she didn't blame Xia Concubine for asking more. "Be cautious and have no regrets. Xia Concubine, you have to be extra careful in this step. ”

Xia Concubine just smiled, paused, and put the chess pieces in the position she originally wanted to put again, she raised her face and half-fanned. "The concubine knows that her chess skills are not as good as her mother, and her mother doesn't need to let her concubine."

Du Qinyue groaned, and the black piece in her hand immediately surrounded all her white chess, Xia Concubine was slightly surprised, although she expected that she would definitely lose, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.

"This palace reminds you that I just don't want you to lose so quickly." Du Qinyue collected the child and started again.

Xia Concubine listened to her lesson, and also restrained her mind and seriously confronted Concubine Shu. "Niangniang, I heard that the emperor knew that Chen Guiren liked sweets, so he sent her all the seasonal fruits."

Concubine Shu didn't have much expression on her face, took a sip of tea, looked at Xia Concubine, and said quietly: "Why are you exaggerating here? ”

Xia Concubine was exposed to the lie, but she was not embarrassed at all, and then said: "It's not that the concubine wants to deceive the mother, but this Chen Guiren really makes the emperor care about it very much!" ”

Du Qinyue's face turned cold, and she said angrily: "If you want to say anything, just say it, don't go around the bend here with this palace." ”

"Concubine Shuniang, if this noble Chen really wants to come to you, you can accept her, which can be regarded as helping yourself." Concubine Xia didn't wait for Concubine Shu to open her mouth to reprimand, so she hurriedly continued: "The emperor went to the queen again last night, and the queen can be so favored by just a little trick......"

Concubine Xia knocked on the side and told Concubine Shu that she was now afraid of the queen's strength. But Concubine Shu's face still had that indifferent and breezy expression, she dropped a sunspot and said lightly: "It's your turn." ”

Xia Concubine saw that Concubine Shu didn't listen at all, and couldn't help but be anxious, she casually dropped a son, but when she looked down, she saw a big loophole in Concubine Shu's chess game, and hurriedly shouted to regret the move.

Concubine Shu quickly grabbed her wrist and said seriously: "Raise it carefully, and have no regrets." ”

Xia Concubine had no choice but to withdraw her hand, and continued the topic just now: "This Chen Guiren is simple-minded, and the city government is not deep, if Niang Niang uses her as a chess piece, maybe she can ......."

Before she finished speaking, she was cut off by Du Qinyue, and her tone became cold, "What else?" To attract the emperor's attention, or to bring down the queen? ”

Xia Concubine was speechless for a while, she just wanted to persuade Concubine Shu to bring Chen Guiren over, so naturally she didn't dare to guarantee the future results.

Du Qinyue sighed, and didn't embarrass Xia Concubine, "It's your turn, don't always get distracted." ”

"Niangniang, but if you do this, won't it make Chen Guiren jealous? If she retaliates, will our situation be even more difficult? Xia Concubine asked worriedly despite Concubine Shu's warning.

Du Qinyue rubbed her temples with a headache, and said helplessly: "Xia Concubine, why are you so stubborn today?" If you really bring this Chen Guiren to my side, how much benefit can it be? ”

"But it's better than Concubine Niangniang, you have one more enemy in the palace!" Xia Concubine continued to persuade without giving up, the chess piece in Du Qinyue's hand accidentally fell, and the palace maid next to her hurriedly leaned over to pick it up.

"This palace naturally knows this truth," Concubine Shu said and dropped again, warning Xia Concubine with her eyes not to be distracted and continue to play chess.

Xia Concubine was silent for a while, and Concubine Shu finished playing a game of chess, but she still lost. Xia Concubine praised softly, "Concubine Shu's chess skills are superb, and concubines always can't win." ”

Du Qinyue suddenly knocked over the chessboard with one hand, and the black and white chess pieces fell to the ground with a crackle, and the palace maids around were so shocked that they knelt down, not knowing why the lady concubine was angry.

Xia Concubine was also taken aback by her actions and stood up, "Niangniang, is the concubine talkative?" ”

Du Qinyue shook her head and said earnestly: "It's not that you can't win against me, it's that you have never put your mind on this chess game!" ”

Looking at Concubine Xia's white face, Concubine Shu couldn't bear to scare her, so she sat beside her, "You know that this chess game can be the same in this palace, and the most important thing is to be serious." ”

Xia Concubine was flattered and turned her head to look at her, Du Qinyue looked at the chess pieces scattered all over the place, and said faintly: "The emperor has summoned so many concubines into the palace in this election, and Chen Guiren is just the one who has just emerged, and there will definitely be a second and a third Chen Guiren in the future." ”

Xia Concubine was so shocked by the air pressure on her body that she stood up again, lowered her head, and listened to Concubine Shu continue: "Chen Guiren, she is not pure-minded, and the most important thing is that she is too stupid. ”

Xia Concubine is not a fool, and when she heard Concubine Shu's tone full of disdain when she mentioned Chen Guiren, she naturally didn't dare to persuade again, and after a while, she also returned to the palace.
