The eunuch went to Concubine Shu's palace to announce the emperor's will. Concubine Shu was already upset about her son Yang Tingfeng, but now she was disappointed and shocked when she learned that she had been reduced to Concubine Shu.
Not to mention that his son was punished, but also her mother was involved. Shupin's face was absolutely terrible.
After the eunuch Xuanzhi left, Shupin tremblingly stood up from the ground. Slowly walked to the couch and sat down, sighing in my heart all the time, thinking: "Why am I so unlucky? It's really a leak in the house and it rains all night."
At this time, his personal maid quickly walked up to Shupin, and whispered a few words in Shupin's ear.
Just as Concubine Shu had guessed, Concubine Li was the one behind the scenes. That bitch Li Concubine took the opportunity to play in the emperor's ears, not only caused her son to be beaten fifty times, but also dragged herself into the water, so that the emperor punished herself and reduced her to a concubine. Probably her demotion is what Concubine Li really wants.
"Hmph! What a concubine Li, you are plotting against me behind your back like this!" Concubine Shu was so angry that she smashed the teacup and teapot on the table to pieces. The more Shupin thought about it, the more angry she became. When she was demoted to Shupin, her status was lower than that of Concubine Li, and her salary was not as much as before. More importantly, her status in the emperor's heart is not as good as before. Will the emperor still come to her? Thinking about it, Shupin became discouraged.
Now, how could she raise her head in front of others, Concubine Shu really couldn't swallow this fuss. Concubine Li has already made a move to her, she can't just sit around and let Concubine Li slaughter her, her favor and the fate of her son are in her hands, she has to fight. Concubine Shu made herself calm down as soon as possible, just now because of her anger, the eunuchs and maids were so scared that they knelt on the ground.
"Everyone get up, Xin'er stays, everyone else goes out, no one is allowed to come in without the order of the palace." Concubine Shu's confidant stayed behind, and the other girls and eunuchs all went out.
This heart, that is shrewd and clever, Shupin entrusts many important things to her, she is Shupin's right-hand man. Mind, scheming, naturally more than others, and more cautious in doing things.
"What's your order?" Xin'er walked up to Concubine Shu swiftly, knowing that Concubine Shu was going to fight back. , asked Concubine Shu tentatively.
Concubine Shu leaned into her confidant's ear and whispered: "In a few days, you will ask the little eunuch to bring a pot of tea to Concubine Li, and say it was a gift from the imperial concubine. Remember to add something to the tea. When will you send it over and wait for my orders."
Xin'er and Shupin are naturally of the same mind, she is so smart, of course she understands that Shupin wants to add something to the tea.
This heart can be regarded as loyal to Concubine Shu, wholeheartedly protecting the lord. Now I see my master and his son being so bullied. I was also very angry in my heart. He is also full of hatred towards Concubine Li. Xin'er nodded to Concubine Shu, "Yes, Madam, I understand."
After leaving with a clear heart, Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a sinister smile: "Concubine Li, concubine Li, as the saying goes, one foot tall, the devil is one foot taller. You can't think of it, I have this trick Haha~" Concubine Shu stroked her mouth with a handkerchief, and took a sip of tea slowly. "Concubine Li, let's just wait and see!"
A few days later, Concubine Li and a group of eunuchs and maids were admiring the flowers in their courtyard. Since the emperor adopted his opinion, slapped Yang Tingfeng fifty times, and demoted Concubine Shu to Concubine Shu, I was in a bad mood. It's much brighter, and the interest is also very good.
Concubine Li is really happy to walk among the flowers. Thinking about how she is at home in the harem, isn't she happy? Concubine Shu's status as concubine Shu was lower than her by a head, the more Concubine Li thought about it, the happier she became.
Their master and servant were laughing in the flowers, Concubine Li felt a little tired and ordered to go back to her bedroom, at this time a little eunuch came in with a pot of tea to see Concubine Li. Concubine Li asked him to come to her bedroom and asked, "Why did you come to see me?" Concubine Li asked disdainfully.
"Reporting to your empress, this servant is the little eunuch next to the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine has a new pot of good tea, and I want to present it to my empress so that she can taste it together." The little eunuch kept his head down and dared not lift it up.
After hearing this, Concubine Li pretended to be grateful and said: "The imperial concubine is really affectionate and righteous. She is considerate of the sisters in the harem. She always thinks of her concubines when doing good things. She even shares this good tea with me. She thinks of her concubines all the time. Your concubines are always on your mind. Concubine is really honored. My father-in-law thanked the imperial concubine on behalf of the palace, and I will definitely go to the imperial concubine's palace to thank the imperial concubine in person."
The little eunuch returned "Yes, Your Majesty" and left in a hurry.
The little eunuch left, but Concubine Li was stunned. She stared at the pot of tea for a long time with a puzzled expression on her face. These days, she has been under the control of the imperial concubine, and she has been favored by the emperor and has become the most favored by the emperor. She can't face the imperial concubine openly, for fear that the imperial concubine will be jealous and cause trouble for herself. After all, it is for the benefit of the imperial concubine that the imperial concubine wins her over and controls herself.
But what can Concubine Li do? The imperial concubine has a high position and authority. If I go against the imperial concubine, it will be like throwing an egg at a stone. At that time, the imperial concubine will definitely make her die a miserable death. Not to mention the emperor's favor, she may even lose her life.
Now leaning tightly against the big tree of the imperial concubine, although it is not so free, but standing with the imperial concubine, there are not many concubines in the palace who dare to make things difficult for themselves, but my favor is in the hands of the imperial concubine, If you are not careful, you will be in an abyss, but Concubine Li has no choice.
Concubine Li got up from the couch and walked back and forth in the room. At this time, she was not in a happy mood as she was admiring the flowers in the yard just now, the pot of tea from the imperial concubine disturbed her, that was her heart disease.
Concubine Li stopped in front of the window, and stood under the window to look at the scenery outside the window. No matter how you look at it, it is also a square sky. Concubine Li felt helpless and irritable when she thought of this, and said to the servants: "Since the imperial concubine sent you Good tea is here, let's make a pot of tea for Bengong."
Concubine Li sighed again and returned to the couch. With her arms bent over the table and her head resting on her hands, she waited for the servants to make her tea.
This tea is really good tea, and the fragrance of tea will overflow after a while.
Concubine Li slowly picked up the teacup and drank a few sips slowly, the lingering fragrance of the tea was still in her mouth, Concubine Li sighed "Yes", fanned the wind with her handkerchief a few times, felt that her body was a little hot, and ordered People: "I think it's a bit hot. Thinking about it, it's been a while since I went to soak in the hot springs in the palace. You guys make some preparations for me. I'll go there in a while."
After hearing this, the servants hurriedly prepared for Concubine Li. After a while, Concubine Li left to go to the palace to soak in the hot spring.
