Chapter 776 The Palace Maid's Revenge 8
The next morning, Jiang Chunxi was sitting in front of the dressing table, having the palace maid do her makeup.
"Miss, you have been hiding from the emperor since lunch yesterday. You didn't even have dinner with him yesterday. Just now, Li, the chief steward beside the emperor, came to ask, saying that the emperor is about to leave the morning court, and asked if you should go to prepare breakfast." Liuli asked while combing Jiang Chunxi's hair:
"Girl, please don't be so stubborn," this is the voice of another Kilometer Liushu, "Although the emperor dotes on you, he is still the emperor after all. It's okay for you to have a little temper with the emperor, but if you refuse to take the opportunity given by the emperor again and again, I'm afraid you will anger the emperor!"
"If he gets angry, then he gets angry! Am I really afraid of the emperor getting angry?" Jiang Chunxi said nonchalantly, "This man! Sometimes you have to whet his appetite, that will move his heart more, make him scratch his head, and occupy a more important position in his heart."
"Don't worry! I know how to control the emperor. You don't have to worry about anything."
The people who served Jiang Chunxi had naturally asked her to use the loyalty talisman a long time ago, so she was not worried at all that what she said would be known by the emperor.
The emperor always thought that all the people around Jiang Chunxi were arranged by him, and her every move was under his control. However, he did not know that the information the emperor received was arranged by Jiang Chunxi for him to know.
The emperor thought he knew Jiang Chunxi well enough, but in fact, that was just an illusion created by Jiang Chunxi.
After hearing what their master said, Liuli and Liushu were no longer worried.
"Miss, do you want to accompany the emperor for breakfast?" Liu Shu asked.
"Of course not," Jiang Chunxi said cunningly, "I haven't paid my respects to the Empress Dowager for two days. I will go to the Empress Dowager's palace later. I have to have breakfast with the Empress Dowager today. Even if the Emperor knew about it, he would only be sulking. He would not go to the Empress Dowager's palace to arrest me and bring me back to the Qinzheng Palace."
After hearing what her master said, Liuli quickly quickened her pace. After all, the emperor was about to leave the morning court. If the emperor left the morning court and the master had not left the Qinzheng Hall, then the master would have no way to avoid the emperor.
Just as Jiang Chunxi left the Qinzheng Palace, Concubine Jin soon found out.
Of course, even if Concubine Jin went out now, she couldn't catch Jiang Chunxi, not to mention that she had to pay her respects to the Queen?
But it doesn't matter. Since Jiang Chunxi went to the Empress Dowager's palace, she will not leave so quickly. Just wait until she pays her respects to the Queen and then go to catch Jiang Chunxi.
While Jiang Chunxi was having breakfast with the Empress Dowager, all the concubines in the Queen's Palace had also arrived.
Concubine Jin could be said to be the last one to arrive.
As soon as she sat down, Concubine Jin rolled her eyes and said, "It's already so late, why hasn't the Queen come out yet? Really, she always makes us wait, as if she can only show her status as the Queen by asking the concubines in the harem to wait for her to come out."
"Jinpin should be careful with what you say," this was Chunpin's voice, and she was also in the Queen's camp, "You can't comment on the Queen, Jinpin, don't forget your status. Although the concubines in the harem have ranks, they are concubines in the end. As a concubine, respecting the mistress is..."
"Alright, alright," Jinpin interrupted Chunpin impatiently, "You are the Queen's lackey. It's your own business if you are willing to kowtow to the Queen, but you can't expect everyone to be like you and be willing to be the Queen's dog!"
"Hmph!" Concubine Jin snorted contemptuously, "You've been a dog for too long, and you smell like a dog. You're talking nonsense, and I wonder what you can do."
"You..." Chunpin's face was full of anger, but before she could say anything else, someone spoke up.
"I think what Concubine Jin said makes sense," this was Concubine Su's voice. "Although she is indeed a concubine, the concubines in the harem are different from ordinary concubines. At least the Queen, as the mother of a country, cannot kill concubines in the harem at will. It's not like outside, where the mistress of the house can kill or sell concubines at will."
"So it should be Concubine Chun who should be careful with her words. Just like Concubine Jin said, don't act like a dog for too long. You'll become like a mad dog, biting anyone you catch. Look at what you can do!"
Concubine Chun was so angry that she almost died, but she didn't dare to refute anything when she was facing Concubine Su.
After all, Concubine Su was a high-ranking imperial concubine, while she was only a concubine. Furthermore, Concubine Su was not someone to be trifled with, and the Empress was also very wary of Concubine Su's family background. Therefore, if she really angered Concubine Su, the Empress might not be able to protect her.
"What are you sisters talking about?" Just then the queen came out, and of course she knew what had just happened.
After all the concubines stood up, bowed to the Queen and sat down, Concubine Jin immediately mocked, "Why do you ask questions when you already know the answer? This is in your palace, and nothing escapes your eyes. I don't believe that the Queen doesn't know anything about the conversation between Concubine Su, Concubine Chun and I just had."
"Jinpin, you are really getting more and more presumptuous," the queen said coldly, "Do you really think that I can't do anything to you just because you are pregnant? Go back and copy the palace rules fifty times and hand them in to me within three days. If you don't copy the palace rules fifty times within three days, I will add another hundred times."
"Your Majesty is so arrogant," Concubine Jin glared at the queen and said, "I am pregnant with a dragon fetus now. Your Majesty wants to punish me. Aren't you afraid that I might get pregnant?"
"Oh!" Concubine Jin sneered, "If I really have a miscarriage, can the Empress bear the consequences? Not only can the Empress not give birth to a child for the Emperor, but she even wants to suppress the pregnant concubines. How much do you want me to not give birth to the baby in my belly!"
Everyone present was once again enlightened by Concubine Jin's stupidity.
He is so brave. He actually dares to confront the Queen like this. Does he think that he is not dying fast enough?
Although the Queen did not give birth to an heir, all the concubines dared not look down on her, and would not openly quarrel with her. After all, the Emperor's respect for the Queen was obvious. Even in this situation, no one dared to look down on her even if she was childless.
Of course, except for the idiot Concubine Jin.
"Ha!" The Queen was so angry that she laughed. "You really don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is. Believe it or not, if what you just said gets to the Emperor, I don't even have to do anything to you. The Emperor will directly issue an order to punish you."
"Okay, let's all go!" The Queen was afraid that she would not be able to help but punish the fool Jinpin. After all, she was still counting on the fool Jinpin to deal with Jiang Chunxi.
Therefore, the best way is to stop this idiot Concubine Jin from continuing to speak nonsense. Otherwise, even if the queen can tolerate it, the concubines in the harem may have to re-evaluate her prestige as the queen.
