"Don't forget, you're just a noble, you don't have the qualifications to let the emperor stay overnight!”With a lecturing tone, those who didn't know better would think that she was the Empress!
Liu Weirong was stunned. A group of grass mud horses ran through her heart in joy. How could this Gong Concubine not have any brains? How could he ask such a question?
Didn't she notice that the atmosphere had changed again? Even her trusted servant girl's expression changed.
No wonder she was the cannon fodder in the original novel. She was the first old man to serve the emperor and had a little princess. She was very arrogant, but she did not have any brains or capital. She had been used by Liu Xiangya several times. She was like a firecracker and hit whoever she pointed at. In the end, she even played herself to death.
" Yo, Sister Gongpin is so mighty, actually meddling in the Emperor's affairs…" A delicate and straightforward voice sounded, and then a graceful figure appeared in front of everyone.
It turned out that Consort Hui, Wang Hanyu, had appeared. She was wearing a long-sleeved red palace dress. Coupled with her slim and tall figure, she looked beautiful and noble.
"Greetings to Consort Hui niangniang, niangniang is auspicious!”Everyone hurriedly stood up to welcome Consort Hui.
"Get up!" Consort Hui called out, and Liu Weirong also heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, she didn't have to maintain this half-squatting position.
Sitting on the left side of the seat of honor, Wang Hanyu noticed that Consort Duan and Consort Xian had not arrived yet. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she turned her gaze to Gongpin, who was not far away.
"Little sister Gongpin, you were also someone who served the emperor in your early years. How can you not know this little rule? Those who didn't know better would think that you were coveting the throne!”Consort Hui's words were extremely sharp, mocking her for overestimating herself.
It completely exposed Gong Concubine's ambition.
Consort Hui was right. Gongpin was indeed coveting the empress position, but she was brainless. If the emperor was still a prince and she was a secondary consort, her life would definitely be good.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
Which concubine in the harem didn't have that kind of intention? However, she concealed it very well. It was really rare to see someone like Gong Pin show off in front of a low-ranking concubine and even say something that exceeded her status.
Gongpin's face paled. Although Consort Hui had not yet started the Consort Consort Ceremony, she had already entered the Imperial Family's Golden Book, and her status was higher than hers. Coupled with Consort Hui's words, Gongpin's arrogance was completely gone. She gritted her teeth and lowered her head, thanking Consort Hui for her advice. Her face was as green as an emerald.
The concubines snickered.
Liu Xiangya was very pleased to see this and was even more determined to climb up. If she was Consort Hui today, would Consort Gong dare to make things difficult for her?
"Sister Hui Fei is right!" At this moment, the censor's daughter, Qin Suyun, who had just been conferred the title of Consort Xian, arrived. Everyone welcomed her respectfully.
Liu Weirong was already numb. The rules in the palace were really torturous.
Consort Xian was dressed in a dignified and elegant manner. She was also dignified, upright, and law-abiding.
"Younger Sister is late, and I apologize to Elder Sister Hui Fei!”
"How is it late? The Empress hasn't arrived yet!”Consort Hui laughed heartily. She had always gotten along well with Consort Xian.
Liu Weirong glanced at the two people sitting on the throne. In the original novel, these two people had good personalities and some tricks, but they had no children because of the Empress.
With the two of them working together, Emperor Murong Che was extremely wary.
While she was staring at them in a daze, Noble Liu beside her quietly tugged at her sleeve. She then realized that Consort Hui and Consort Xian were actually looking at her and could not help but be stunned.
"What's wrong with Noble De?" Consort Hui smiled.”
Liu Weirong looked embarrassed. She couldn't say that she was recalling the plot about them, right?
The na?ve Xie Pin replied on her behalf,""Consort Hui Niangniang, Younger Sister De probably slept with me for the first time last night and was exhausted, so she didn't rest well…"
As soon as she said this, she didn't know how much hatred she had attracted. Liu Weirong suddenly hated Xie Pin's innocent smile.
Gongpin started to mock her again.
Liu Xiangya seemed to be speaking up for her, but in fact, she was adding fuel to the fire.
Liu Weirong fell silent and didn't argue. It was useless to argue, so it was better to remain silent. After a while, everyone felt bored.
Consort Xian covered her mouth and chuckled.”
Concubine Hui also smiled and glanced at the somewhat uncomfortable Liu Weirong, echoing,""You're right, the Liu Sisters are really different!”
"Yes, I am!"
Fragrance Garden became lively again.
Liu Weirong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Liu Guiren, not saying anything.
Soon, Consort Duan arrived. She was a proud and aloof beauty with a cold temperament. She didn't talk much and sat quietly in her seat.
Soon after, Consort Shu also arrived. Consort Shu and the Empress were both the daughters of the Prime Minister, but one was the Left Prime Minister and the other was the Right Prime Minister. Their family backgrounds were equally matched, and they were able to get along well with each other the moment they arrived. Their social skills really made people sigh at their inferiority.
The entire Fragrance Garden was filled with laughter.
Liu Weirong saw this and was filled with admiration. This Consort Shu was really amazing, smiling at everyone.
Liu Xiangya was still the most beautiful and dazzling one present. Gong Pin, this restless woman, had been attracting the hatred of the two sisters.
It seemed that after today, not only her, but also Liu Xiangya would be ostracized.
Soon, the main event arrived. The Empress Dowager's niece, Noble Consort Fang, had arrived. The Noble Consort's pomp was not to be underestimated. Everyone stood up and went out to welcome her.
Fang Zhiying was dressed in a light yellow imperial consort's palace dress. Perhaps it was because she was weak, but she looked a little frail. She was slender and pitiful. With the help of the palace maids, she walked gracefully into Fragrance Garden.
When she sat down, her eyes seemed to have unintentionally swept over Liu Weirong, and the corners of her mouth held a mysterious and gentle smile.
Liu Weirong's body tensed up. She lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly. It seemed that Fang Zhiying had already remembered her. Her future days would not be peaceful anymore.
Fang Zhiying's arrival caused the atmosphere to freeze. No one dared to laugh or talk.
After sitting for another half a cup of tea's worth of time, someone started singing outside."The Empress has arrived."
Everyone quickly got up and knelt to welcome him.
The empress's makeup was particularly thick and gorgeous. Her black eyebrows were high and slanted into her temples. Her red lips were dyed with the brightest rouge. She wore a red brocade robe with a soaring phoenix embroidered with gold thread.
It showed the dignity and dignity of an empress.
"All the younger sisters, please rise. This is the first time bengong is hosting a banquet to entertain all the younger sisters, and I'm already late.”Sitting at the highest seat, the Empress smiled.
Consort Shu said with a smile," The Empress has to take care of many affairs in the Inner Palace every day, and she also has to find time to hold a palace banquet for the sisters to improve their relationship. The sisters are grateful in their hearts and only wish that they could share some of the Empress's worries.”
The concubines quickly agreed.
The Empress looked deeply at Consort Shu and then turned her gaze to Fang Zhiying. She saw that she looked a little tired and asked with concern,""Is Sister Noble Consort tired? Do you want to go back and rest?"
Fang Zhiying smiled sweetly." Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Zhiying's health is much better now. She can still take it.”
"That's good!"
Then, the Empress let the palace maids serve the dishes like flowing water and even passed on the song and dance.
The Fragrance Garden was filled with laughter.
Liu Weirong only sipped her tea and didn't eat much of the dishes in front of her. This tea was the most difficult to tamper with. Even if she had the spiritual spring, it was inevitable that she would fall for it.
There was nothing wrong with being careful. She was too careless to eat the medicinal cuisine that the Empress had given her last time.
She should have used a handkerchief to block it and quietly poured it into the space.
Liu Xiangya didn't eat it either. She only took a sip of the tea. She seemed to be a cautious person. Seeing that Liu Weirong didn't move, she was a little surprised and asked softly,""Third Sister, why aren't you eating?"
Liu Weirong smiled bitterly and shook her head." I don't have much of an appetite! She had eaten too much at noon and had accumulated food!”As she spoke, her tone changed." Why isn't Sister eating? This meal is much better than what we ate. I'm not lucky.”
After saying that, he looked at the black chicken stewed with snow toad in front of him with some regret.
She really liked this dish.
"Sister, Sister Liu, this snow toad stewed black chicken is very nutritious. You guys can share it!”Liu Weirong touched her bloated stomach and smiled embarrassedly.
Liu Xiangya was surprised and didn't refuse. Liu Guiren also nodded. After all, only Liu Weirong had this dish. They didn't have this dish.
Liu Xiangya volunteered to share the food with them.
A bowl of stewed black chicken with snow clams was divided into two small bowls. Liu Xiangya had one bowl for herself and Liu Guiren had one bowl.
Liu Xiangya picked up the small bowl and started to eat elegantly. Suddenly, Liu Xiangya's body twitched as if someone had grabbed her throat. After a while, she spat out a mouthful of black blood and fainted.
"Master, Master, what's wrong?……”Bi Shui cried out in fear.
Xie Pin, who was sitting across from him, happened to see this terrifying scene and screamed in shock.
" Sister, sister, the Empress, something happened to sister…" Liu Weirong was shocked. Noble Liu's hand holding the small bowl trembled, and his face suddenly turned pale…
The Empress stood up and shouted,""What happened?"
" Reporting to the Empress," a young eunuch replied in a trembling voice." Something has happened to Noble Li…"
"What is it? "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and call the imperial physician…" The Empress was shocked and shouted angrily.
Why did something suddenly happen?
Didn't she get someone to keep an eye on the imperial kitchen?
Such a blatant poisoning was very similar to Gong Pin's work. However, when she saw Gong Pin's frightened face, she ruled out this idea. The only news she received was that Gong Pin would make things difficult for the Liu Sisters.
As for 'her', she wouldn't be that stupid. Who could it be?
The Empress suddenly felt that she thought she had control of the entire harem, but now it seemed so ridiculous.
At this time, the whole Fragrance Garden was in a mess. The concubines were all frightened by Liu Xiangya's miserable state. Everyone guessed that she had been poisoned. Screams of fear could be heard endlessly. People squeezed into a ball. Liu Weirong's face was pale as she was supported by White Lotus.
The imperial physician rushed over and diagnosed Liu Xiangya. He exclaimed,"" Lady Li has been poisoned. Fortunately, the poison is not deep. I will prescribe some medicine for Lady Li to detoxify…" As he spoke, he quickly wrote a prescription.
Hearing the imperial physician's words, it confirmed everyone's guess. Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air. Liu Weirong was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. She had thought that she was safe with the spiritual spring, but when she encountered a strong poison, she lost her life before she could drink the spiritual spring.
Moreover, the original novel did not have such a scene. Liu Weirong was a little flustered. It seemed that the original novel's plot had developed in an unknown direction after she was a butterfly.
"Men, send Noble Li back to You Lan Palace! "Shi Hua, quickly go and brew the medicine according to the imperial physician's prescription…" The Empress ordered in an orderly manner.
After the palace maids sent Liu Xiangya away, there was a loud sound. The porcelain bowl in Liu Guiren's hand fell to the ground and splashed all over the ground.
"Empress, Noble Li…Noble Li had an accident because she ate that cup of snow toad stewed black chicken…"
As she spoke, she pointed at Liu Weirong, who was on the verge of collapsing." That…that bowl of snow toad stewed black chicken was originally…was originally for Noble De to eat…but Noble De ate too much at noon, so he didn't eat it…"
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions became strange.
