"Exactly." Li Xiuniang answered naturally.
"Presumptuous!" Concubine Xian glanced at her coldly, "Who gave you the courage to cut corners without permission!"
"Your Majesty, they are a main concubine and a side concubine, so they should be treated differently! Besides, now that the war in Chu State is tense, it is a good thing for His Royal Highness King Ning to take this opportunity to praise Princess Gaowei!" Li Xiuniang tried to support her. Justify yourself.
"That's a state matter!" Concubine Xian has always been gentle and virtuous, but at this time she was unusual and furious, "But Zhen'er is the son of this palace and His Majesty, and his marriage is a family matter! The principles of this palace are that state affairs can be calculated, but Family affairs must be pure and true! I don’t care which princess Zhen’er likes, or which princess will help him in his official career, since they are both my daughter-in-law, they must be treated the same!”
"But empress... With the handiwork of a slave, it cannot be completed within three days." Li Xiuniang lowered her head.
"Then get rid of the complicated and keep it simple, and omit all the filigree workmanship of the skirt." Concubine Xian said seriously.
"Yes, the maidservant takes the order." Li Xiuniang didn't dare to argue, and quietly withdrew.
At this time, Xin Lan quietly entered the palace, lowered her voice and said, "My Lady, Princess Gong has returned to Beijing."
Concubine Xian immediately came back to her senses, and asked nervously, "How are you?"
"Well." Xin Lan nodded, "It's just that Princess Gong sent a letter, saying that there was a heavy rain on May 16th for King Ning's wedding."
"Heavy rain?" Concubine Xian frowned, "That's the day of Qintian's supervision. Since Zhou Zheng was appointed, I haven't missed the weather."
"That's probably because Princess Gong made a mistake." Xin Lan was slightly taken aback.
"No!" Concubine Xian knows Dongfang Jing's background, so she naturally knows what skills she has and what not. Looking at the clouds and knowing the weather is just a small trick for the closed disciples of the Tang Sect. Ah Jing specially sent someone to remind her, she must have spotted it.
"I don't understand." Xin Lan frowned.
Concubine Xian said, "Concubine Gong can't be mistaken, it seems to be the Qin Tianjian who was bought by someone, and wants to give me and Zhen'er a big gift!"
"Your Majesty stood up for Concubine Gong and humiliated Concubine Xin. From my servant's point of view, this must be Concubine Xin's idea. Your Majesty might as well tell His Majesty about this and let His Majesty decide." I guessed Xinpin.
Of course Concubine Xian also knew that Concubine Xin was the one doing the trick, but she shook her head and opened her thin lips lightly, "No way. We have no evidence in our hands, so what can we tell His Majesty? Even if it really rains on May 16th, there is no way to prove it." Concubine Xin deliberately bribed Zhou Zheng. Now that Concubine Xin is in full bloom, if I suddenly go to complain, it will arouse His Majesty's disgust."
"Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty must think that Your Majesty is jealous of Concubine Xin's favor and deliberately framed her." Xin Lan shook her head, "Then what should we do?"
Holding the handkerchief in her hand, Concubine Xian suddenly turned her head and asked, "I remember, Qin Xiaoyao sent a message two days ago, saying that the theater troupe hired by Prince Ning's Mansion sneaked into Concubine Xin's people and set their sights on the rockery in the backyard?"
"Isn't that right? The concubine Xin didn't know what she was thinking? She had to look for Young Master Rong everywhere, but she couldn't find it in Prince Kung's Mansion, so she went to Prince Ning's Mansion! I don't know, I thought she was with Young Master Rong. You have a leg!" Xin Lan couldn't help mocking.
"In that case, then this Palace..." Concubine Xian's voice paused, her clear eyes turned back and forth in an instant, "Just let Zhen'er give her the entire rockery!"
