It only took a moment for a little bit of news to spread widely in the harem.
Now that Noble Lady Liu is favored, many concubines who had offended her before are feeling uneasy, and some fence-sitters are even thinking about making friends with her. All in all, things are quite lively now.
Now that the Emperor was resting in Concubine Liu's bedroom once again, some of the concubines who had originally wanted to wait and see became more alert.
But there are always some people who don't want to see such a situation.
"Bang!" A crisp sound of cups colliding was heard, and the trembling body of the maid showed that the person was in a bad mood.
"She really looks like a vixen!" Xiao Shushen felt even more uncomfortable in her heart. What kind of person was Liu Churong before? How could he change so easily now
"Damn it, let's see how long you can be so proud!" Under the noble phoenix robe, his originally approachable appearance became more ferocious.
Xiao Shushen felt that she was about to go crazy because of the suppression. Now Liu Churong was just like Shen Qingwan, both of whom were annoying.
Xiao Shushen was already feeling extremely unhappy, but then the maid outside told her that Concubine Liu had come to pay her respects!
Xiao Shushen sneered in her heart, fearing that the real purpose was not to stay in the bar. As for the greeting, it seemed to be fake, and the real purpose was to come here to demonstrate!
A cold light flashed in the phoenix eyes.
"Greetings to the Empress." Liu Churong began to feel a little arrogant again. After all, the Emperor now held her very dearly in his heart, and many concubines came to teach her a lesson. As time went by, it was inevitable that her tail in her heart began to rise. However, she would still be a little more careful in front of the Emperor. After all, the reminder on the note was like a lost thing.
"Get up." Xiao Shushen's eyes were half-closed, her face was calm, and her voice made it hard to guess whether she was happy or sad. It seemed that she was not so anxious about Concubine Liu's greeting.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am a little tired from yesterday's troubles, so I am a little late today. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me." Although Concubine Liu was a little dissatisfied in her heart, she thought about the emperor's current favor to her, so she kept it in mind for the time being. After all, sometimes it takes a long time to get what you want. But this does not mean that she is easy to bully!
Xiao Shushen's heart was burning with anger because of these words. Now Liu Churong's pretty face without any makeup could make people feel more pity for her, but it was completely ruined by her vulgarity.
"Recently, I have been worried that I might have delayed the emperor's handling of state affairs, but I could not persuade him and I felt very anxious." Although she said so, there was not a trace of guilt in her tone, but more of complacency. Especially when looking at the queen's expression that seemed to be about to explode, it made people feel secretly happy.
Even if she is the queen, what can she do now? Liu Churong's satisfaction suddenly became overwhelming, and he even spoke a little impolitely.
“Bang!”
The elegant fair face had a slight blush on it, and Liu Churong looked at the queen in front of him with disbelief.
After the slap, Xiao Shushen's anger instantly dissipated a lot. She wiped her palm with the Fengluan handkerchief in her hand, and seemed to be very disgusted.
Liu Churong was furious, her beautiful eyes were filled with anger, as if she wanted to burn the person in front of her.
Xiao Shushen slowly opened her red lips and said, "People need to learn from their mistakes. Lady Liu, I hope this slap in the face has awakened you."
"After all, you are just a nobleman now. You should pay attention to your identity in everything. To be honest, you are just like an ant now." Xiao Shushen said with a strong warning. Liu Churong gritted her teeth, as if she would pay the price for today's humiliation!
Xiao Shushen put all her strength into that slap just now, and the force was not light. Liu Churong was also caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by the strong force. Her hair was a little messy at the moment, which added a bit of sad beauty to her face.
Coincidentally, when Concubine De heard that Concubine Liu had come to the Queen's place, she was looking for an opportunity, and now the time came.
"Greetings, Her Majesty, but what happened? What happened to Concubine Liu?" Defei was surprised at first, then stepped forward to help Liu Churong up, her eyes moving slightly between the two of them.
"Oh, I'm just teaching her some rules!" The Queen waved her sleeves, her eyes a little cold.
"Empress, please calm down. Concubine Liu is a person of temperament, so it's inevitable that she would be a little straightforward at times. After all, she is young and sometimes a little ignorant. I hope the Empress will forgive her." Defei now knows that helping Concubine Liu is also helping herself. After all, Liu Churong is now in the limelight.
Liu Churong was not grateful for Defei's support, thinking that she was just doing this to curry favor with him. However, Xiao Shushen was very angry that Defei was siding with that bitch!
Seeing that there was nothing to worry about, Defei did not stay any longer and left with Concubine Liu. Xiao Shushen obviously did not want to see Concubine Liu in front of her at this moment, and did not try to stop her. Concubine Liu was angry, and her cheeks were burning with pain. It was obvious that they were swollen. She was full of hatred in her heart, thinking that when she had the chance, she would definitely make Xiao Shushen pay. Even if she became the queen, what could she do? Now the emperor only had her in his heart. Sooner or later, she would sit on the position of queen. By then, everything she had suffered today would be returned to her!
Although I am filled with viciousness in my heart, now is not the time to fall out!
Liu Churong felt that Concubine De was helping him only because of his current status, and the reason why Concubine De did so was simply to find out whether he had left any evidence from what he had done before. After chatting with Concubine Liu for a while, he didn't find anything, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was no need to worry too much, and since his goal had been achieved, there was no need to stay any longer. He was just thinking about finding a reason to leave, but he didn't expect that what he heard next would make Concubine De's face change instantly.
Coincidentally, the two of them walked to the side of the pavilion, where there was a group of palace maids trimming flowers. They were very busy and seemed not to notice them. They were whispering to each other at the moment.
"Hey, do you know what happened to Concubine Liu last time? I heard from other palace maids that it was Concubine De who threw the stone, and it hit Concubine Liu's leg!"
In an instant, Defei's heart skipped a beat and a feeling of uneasiness began to spread in her heart.
