"Bi Liu, do you think bengong is beautiful?" Yu Fu sat in front of the mirror and dressed up.
"Beautiful." Bi Liu said obediently.
"Then is Bengong beautiful or Consort De beautiful?" Yu Fu asked again.
"Both are beautiful." Bi Liu said timidly.
"What a useless girl." After Yu Fu heard this, she looked at the timid Bi Liu with a face full of anger. "Is Shang Yanhe that scary? How could bengong not be as beautiful as her? You don't even have the guts to say bengong is beautiful, what else can bengong expect from you?”As he spoke, he smashed the rouge box on the table to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Bi Liu was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground." Imperial Concubine, please calm down. Imperial Concubine, please calm down."”Her voice was trembling with a sobbing tone.
"Forget it, forget it. You can get up." Seeing Bi Liu like this, Yu Fu's anger also dissipated by half. Actually, she didn't want to make things difficult for her. It was just that as a new master, she had to put on some airs of a master. Otherwise, the servants wouldn't put you in their eyes. Yu Fu continued," Let's go. We will go to the Empress Dowager's Palace to meet Consort De. Bengong wants you to see clearly whether she is more beautiful or Bengong is more beautiful."”
Empress Dowager Palace.
"How is Consort De? Did you use lunch?" Shang Zhirong held the teacup, but she was not in the mood to comment. She was only troubled by what happened last night. She thought that she could take the opportunity to matchmake Tianyao and Yan He, but she did not expect Tianyao to see through her and not give them any face. It seemed like Tianyao was deliberately neglecting Yan He and the Shang Family.
"Replying to the Empress Dowager, Consort De niangniang has been crying non-stop since she came back last night. When she was tired of crying, she fell asleep. This time, she just woke up and the palace maids are helping Consort De niangniang wash up.”Yun 'er replied.
"It's no wonder. This child, Yan He, has never suffered such grievances since she was young. I really don't know how to explain it to Father. I'm too useless as the empress dowager. Yun 'er, is there any gossip in the palace today?”
"Replying to the empress dowager, there are some servants who don't know what's good for them. This servant has already taught them a lesson, so there won't be anyone else who will speak nonsense.”Yun 'er said respectfully.
"Well done. However, what did those servants say? Tell aijia a few words.”Shang Zhirong pretended to say it unintentionally.
"This…why should the Empress Dowager listen to the gossip of those servants?”Yun 'er was slightly troubled.
"What are you afraid of, aijia just wants to see what these servants think of Yan He and think of a way to remedy it. Aijia forgives you for your innocence, just say it.”
"This…then this servant will tell you." Yun 'er paused and said," The palace people said that Consort De tried to seduce His Majesty on the day of the conferment in order to compete for favor with the other consorts. She deliberately set fire to the place and threw herself into His Majesty's arms. However, His Majesty saw through her. He had been banished to the cold palace before he had even received his kindness. "You won't be able to make a comeback…" Yun 'er's voice became softer and softer, and Shang Zhirong's face became paler and paler. He originally wanted to let Yan He get lucky, but he did not expect to harm her instead. It was really not worth it.
"Consort De pays her respects to the Empress Dowager." Yan He's eyes were red as she reluctantly bowed to Shang Zhirong.
Shang Zhirong panicked." When did Consort De come? Did you hear what I said just now?" Shang Zhirong looked at Yan He, whose eyes were red and swollen, and whose face was haggard. Her heart ached.
"Empress Dowager need not worry about ChenQie. ChenQie is fine. When ChenQie was still in the prime minister's residence, the prime minister had taught ChenQie to learn how to endure humiliation.”Yan He said stubbornly.
Looking at Yan He in front of her, Shang Zhirong seemed to see herself from twenty years ago. At that time, she was also Yan He's age. A small girl carried the glory of the family and entered the palace, but she was luckier than Yan He. Tian Ze was a man of character. Although he did not love her, he had never hurt her and had given her all the glory and respect that an Empress deserved. Looking at the haggard Yan He in front of her, Shang Zhirong was in a daze for a moment. It seemed that the Shang family could no longer control this harem. It was already firmly in Tianyao's hands. Yan He could only rely on herself to survive in this gorgeous battlefield.
"Replying to the Empress Dowager and Consort De, the Imperial Consort has come to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.”The maid returned to report.
"It seems that they have ill intentions. They have just received a favor yesterday, and today they have come to my Empress Dowager Palace to demonstrate their strength.”Shang Zhirong muttered. "Call her in."
After a while, a woman dressed in a bright red palace dress leisurely entered the main hall. Her hair was tied up in a lily bun, and there were two gold-pinched hollow peacock hairpins on both sides of the bun. Her exquisite makeup made her already beautiful face look even more delicate. Yu Fu bowed slightly." Noble Consort Yu Fu pays her respects to the Empress Dowager.”
"Imperial Consort, please take a seat." Shang Zhirong said gently.
"ChenQie thanks Empress Dowager." Yu Fu stood up and sat down. "Eh? Consort De is here too? I thought that only the concubines who had received a favor the night before would come to the Empress Dowager's Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager. I didn't expect Consort De to be here as well.”
Yan He was rather embarrassed and did not know how to answer. He could only lower his head and remain silent.
"Ah, look at my memory." Yu Fu suddenly had a look of realization on her face." I actually forgot about the incident at De Qing Hall last night. His Majesty didn't tell me about this in detail last night either. Only some ignorant servants told me about it this morning. Those servants always say unpleasant things. I have already taught them a lesson on behalf of Consort De. I absolutely don't believe what they say. Consort De comes from a prestigious family, how could she do something that even a common woman would be ashamed to do? Don't you think so?"
Yan He still did not make a sound. Her eyes seemed to have turned red again. Shang Zhirong was furious, but due to her status as the Empress Dowager, she couldn't let it out.
A faint smile appeared on Yu Fu's face when she saw this. "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about the relationship between sisters. Since you and I are both His Majesty's concubines, we will address each other as sisters in the future. If I am not wrong, I am the same age as Consort De. Consort De's birthday is in March, and my birthday is in January. Counting, I am also Consort De's elder sister. Consort De is so polite, shouldn't you call me elder sister?”
"Noble Consort." Shang Zhirong really couldn't stand Yu Fu's insult to Yan He, so she said," Consort De was shocked yesterday and hasn't recovered yet. She's not feeling well, so you can come back another day to catch up."”
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Yu Fu did not have the heart to stay any longer. She said,"Since little sister De Fei is not feeling well, big sister will not disturb you here. When big sister sees His Majesty, she will definitely persuade His Majesty to come and see little sister. Younger Sister should rest well in the Empress Dowager Palace.”After saying that, she turned to the Empress Dowager." ChenQie wishes the Empress Dowager eternal happiness. I will take my leave today."”After saying that, he bowed slightly. He left the Empress Dowager's Palace with a triumphant look on his face.
Yu Fu had just left the Empress Dowager Palace when Yan He burst into tears.
Looking at Yan He in such pain, Shang Zhirong did not know how to comfort her. She thought to herself,'I just entered the palace and this happened.' There's still a long way to go. Yanhe, what should you do? Wen Yufu, you actually dare to insult my niece in front of this widow. I want to see how long you can live in glory. Even a scheming woman like Wen Miaoran was defeated by me. A mere Wen Yufu, I will definitely let you know whose world this harem belongs to.
