The noble concubine was so angry that her nose became crooked.
If I continue to be pestered by her like this, I won't be able to get any of my work done. It's a waste of time and effort to argue with her about trivial matters every day.
She couldn't keep wasting time with Lady Chen like this. How long would it take
After being pestered by her for the entire day, she finally left around 3 p.m. This was the first time she left so early on any given day.
She hurriedly sent someone to summon Sun Fang'er into the palace, and also sent someone to ask when Prince Nan Huai would return.
However, Sun Fang'er was invited and told to enter the palace at 10 p.m. However, Prince Nan Huai was not in the capital. He went to the outskirts of the capital and no one knew what he was doing.
She couldn't help but wonder if the old man knew that Old Eight was going out tonight, so he deliberately didn't stay here.
But it doesn't matter. I can ask Fang'er to come to the palace to talk about serious matters, and we can also discuss how to scrape off the plaster of Chen Taijun.
Wishes are always beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Sun Fang'er had just arrived at the palace gate and hadn't even knelt down to greet him when she heard the loud voice again, "Your Majesty, I'm here again. This time I brought you some snacks, all made by that girl Liu Liu."
The noble concubine was so angry that she was shaking all over. The rage in her heart suddenly rose up. Her elegant and graceful demeanor disappeared immediately. She walked out quickly, pointed at Chen Taijun and said sternly: "Are you annoying? You come to pester me all day long. What do you want? Don't think that I dare not to you..."
"What does your noble concubine want to do to her?" A figure slowly walked out from behind the old lady with a gloomy face.
The noble concubine was startled, "Aunt Ah She?"
She raised her head sharply and looked around to see if the man was coming.
Fortunately, Ah She was the only one there, and did not see Old Lady Long.
"No need to look. I won't let you see it even if you come." Aunt Ashe said coldly.
The noble concubine was furious but couldn't vent her anger, so she had to invite Aunt Ashe and Lady Chen in.
Lady Chen was a little terrified, "I didn't know that your concubine didn't like me coming here. This is really a sin."
Ah She said calmly: "You come to accompany the noble concubine to mourn, which is also your filial piety. If someone doesn't like it, she is ungrateful."
The noble concubine couldn't help but say, "Mourning should be quiet, and it's really unbearable to have such noise every day."
"You're complaining even though you have someone to accompany you. I don't even have someone to accompany me." Aunt Ah She sat down and glanced at Sun Fang'er. "Are you Sun Fang'er?"
Sun Fanger hurriedly greeted her, "Sun Fanger greets Aunt Ah She."
"Well, you have a good appearance." Ah She stared at her, his serious face slightly wrinkled, "but your heart is not very clean, and you have a dark side."
Sun Fang'er had a blank expression on her face. "Sorry for making fun of me, Aunt Ah She."
"It's just the truth. I've seen everything under your clothes. There's nothing to laugh at. You're only half dark, while Xia Zian's is completely dark."
Sun Fang'er was stunned, not knowing what she meant by that.
The noble concubine said: "It's good that Aunt Ah She knows. Some people have evil hearts and must be cleansed."
"It's useless. You can only rely on yourself to cleanse the evil in your heart. Look, the Queen Mother has helped you cleanse it for so many years, but you are still evil, aren't you? Not only is your heart evil, but there is even darkness between your brows." Aunt Ashe said mercilessly.
The noble concubine was furious, "It turns out that Aunt Ah She is here to cause trouble tonight."
"I don't have the time. I'm here to burn incense for the Empress Dowager." Aunt Ah She pointed at Sun Fang'er and said, "Go and burn incense for the Empress Dowager on my behalf. I'm a centenarian and my body is weak. I'm exhausted after just a few steps."
Sun Fang'er had no choice but to obey the order. She turned around and lit three incense sticks and placed them in front of the spirit tablet. Because the ancestral tablet had not yet been offered to the ancestors, the spirit tablet was temporarily placed on the table in the main hall.
Three incense sticks curled up, and suddenly a gust of wind blew in from outside the door, blowing the incense into disarray.
After the incense was burned, no one spoke. Aunt Ashe closed her eyes, as if she was really tired.
Sun Fang'er glanced at Concubine Gui secretly, looking restrained.
The noble concubine looked at Aunt Ah She angrily, feeling a little confused. She wondered why this old thing came back at this time. Was she coming back to ruin her good deeds again
Xia Zian alone is difficult to deal with, and there is also Murong Zhuangzhuang, and later on comes Chen Taijun. If Aunt Ashe also stays here, how can she have any chance of winning
The noble concubine felt dejected and looked at Sun Fang'er. Sun Fang'er stood silently aside, with no expression on her face as usual. She felt even more depressed. She was like a piece of wood. At the critical moment, she could not help at all.
Aunt Ah She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Sun Fang'er, "Do you live in the palace?"
Sun Fang'er replied, "To answer your aunt's question, Fang'er does not live in the palace. She only came to the palace to visit the noble concubine."
"It's getting dark, you should leave the palace. As a girl, don't stay outside too late. People's hearts are unpredictable." Aunt Ashe said.
Sun Fang'er was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at the noble concubine.
This time it was the noble concubine's turn to be expressionless, "Go, leave the palace quickly."
"Yes, Fang'er will take her leave then." Sun Fang'er said, and then walked out.
She felt a little disappointed. She was summoned to the palace tonight and thought she could talk about serious matters, but she didn't expect the old lady to interfere like this, and her trip was in vain.
However, after the disappointment, she actually felt a sense of relief in her heart. She was not stupid, and knew that with the current situation in the palace, the Noble Concubine and the Noble Concubine Yi would not be able to gain any benefit at all, and they might even be implicated at any time. The Noble Concubine had always been on guard against the Regent, thinking that the Regent's departure from the palace would be a good opportunity for them to take action. Unexpectedly, they were almost beaten down within a few days of the Regent's departure.
She had been living alone outside these days and felt extremely comfortable. She no longer needed to look at anyone's face, no longer needed to do anything, no longer needed to plan for them. She slept until she woke up naturally every day, drank tea, ate, and went out for a stroll. Although there were people watching her, those people didn't get close to her, which gave her enough space.
Ever since she was driven out of the Sun family and took refuge with King Nan Huai, she hasn't lived such a comfortable life for a long time.
She began to doubt whether what she had been pursuing was still meaningful.
"Aunt, Lady Chen, I'm tired." After Sun Fang'er left, the noble concubine directly ordered them to leave.
Aunt Ah She said calmly: "If you are tired, go to sleep. I won't bother you. I will come back to stay for a few days."
The noble concubine was startled, "Are you going to live in Ci'an Palace?"
"Is it not possible? Before I left the palace, didn't I live in Ci'an Palace with my ancestors? There are so many rooms in Ci'an Palace, it can't accommodate me?" Aunt Ashe asked with a long face.
The noble concubine gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you're most welcome."
This Aunt Ah She is even more difficult to deal with than Lady Chen. It seems that they are planning to keep a tight grip on me.
No, we must find a way to drive these annoying people out.
