Chapter 837 Spread the News
The young eunuch's expression froze, and he lowered his head even lower, whispering, "Replying to Concubine Wang, Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not come to Yikun Palace tonight, so you can rest early..."
The smile in Wangpin's eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by deep disappointment.
But she couldn't show it.
After all, one of the duties of a concubine is to serve the emperor. When will His Majesty be able to come over and she still need to have a say?
No matter how disappointed Wangpin was, she had to pretend to be sensible and asked with concern, "Does Your Majesty have too many memorials to review tonight?"
Otherwise, why would His Majesty go back on his word when he had promised her?
From what Wangpin knows, His Majesty is never a man who doesn't keep his word...
The young eunuch said truthfully: "Your Majesty went to Zhongcui Palace."
Hearing this, Wangpin's eyes instantly turned cold.
Zhongcui Palace?!
it is good!very good!
It’s Concubine Chen again, right?
She said, His Majesty had clearly agreed to come and have dinner with her tonight, so why did he suddenly change his mind? It turned out that Concubine Chen had seduced the man away!
Concubine Wang was filled with rage, but she did not show it in front of the people in front of the emperor. She waved her hand and asked the eunuch to leave.
The young eunuch knew that he would be lucky enough not to get anything for this trip, let alone any reward.
He bowed, sighed, and turned to leave.
As soon as she returned to the inner room, Concubine Wang had a gloomy face and even swept all the teacups on the table to the ground!
"During the day, I sent the palace maids to the Imperial Garden to pick flower petals, but Concubine Chen's people occupied the best flower fields and sent the people I sent out to the corners."
"Alright! She is a noble concubine with a title, and I am just an ordinary concubine. It is only right for me to let her go."
"But she really went too far!"
"Your Majesty goes to Zhongcui Palace every now and then, but only comes to Yikun Palace once in a long time. It is impossible for her to see Your Majesty whenever she wants, so why does she have to intercept her from me?"
"Yes, I have offended her before, but I have been confined for three months. What else does she want?"
"Will she be satisfied only if she forces me to the point where I can no longer survive in the palace?!"
"As a noble concubine, how can she be so intolerant?!"
The more Concubine Wang spoke, the more she felt that even when Liu was still alive and serving as a royal concubine, she was not as petty-minded as Royal Concubine Chen.
Xiao Tianzi also frowned in dissatisfaction: "That's right."
"If it were any other day, it would be fine, but tonight His Majesty promised you that he would accompany you for dinner. Isn't it intentional to slap you in the face that Concubine Chen is so eager to lure someone away?"
There is another thing that Xiao Tianzi dare not say, that is, as the Imperial Concubine Chen, it is not a shame to compete for favor with a concubine like this...
Ziyuan had a calm expression on his face as he expressed his own analysis: "Your Majesty, I think that the Imperial Concubine Chen may not know about this."
After all, Her Majesty went to the Yangxin Palace to bring soup to His Majesty yesterday, and how could others know what she said to His Majesty?
Wangpin was so angry that she couldn't listen to Ziyuan's analysis. She snorted coldly and said, "Noble Concubine Chen is so powerful in the harem that she can cover the sky with one hand. Is there anything she doesn't know?!"
"I think she did that on purpose!"
Ziyuan could understand Wangpin’s feelings.
After all, what the women in the harem value most is the emperor's favor.
Especially since this was something His Majesty had promised, Your Majesty had been looking forward to it and preparing for it for so long. How could you feel good when you suddenly knew that His Majesty had gone to another palace?
Ziyuan's job was to give Wangpin some advice, so he would not get carried away like Wangpin when she was angry: "Your Majesty, whether the Royal Concubine Chen knows about this or not, your Majesty has already gone to Zhongcui Palace."
"What's the point of you getting angry? If this gets out, people will think that Concubine Chen has stolen your favor, but that you are disrespectful to your superiors."
Concubine Wang was not a stupid person, otherwise she would not have been chosen by Empress Dowager Liu among the many concubines who were attached to Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
It was just that two things happened in succession today, which made her so angry that she lost her mind for a moment.
After hearing what Ziyuan said, Wangpin took a deep breath to calm herself down. After a long time, she finally calmed down.
She glanced at Ziyuan and said, "...You are right."
"A higher rank can crush a person to death. With my current position, even if Concubine Chen deliberately snatched His Majesty away tonight, I can't do anything to her."
"But there is still a long way to go. This does not mean... that I will always be inferior to others!"
Seeing the ambition in Wangpin's eyes, Ziyuan smiled and said, "It would be good if your Majesty could calm down and not be blinded by anger."
Otherwise, if she does something stupid again, the Empress Dowager and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion will no longer tolerate her.
The palace maid brought in new tea, and Wangpin picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp to calm her anger.
Is it okay for her not to be calm?
Liu Shiqing had so much capital, but because he refused to listen to the Empress Dowager, he ended up killing himself.
What's more, she...
"I lost tonight, but that doesn't mean I can't gain something from this."
She is the mother of the Third Prince, and no matter what, she has some weight in His Majesty's heart. His Majesty broke the appointment today, but next time she invites him, His Majesty will definitely not refuse.
She can also use this incident to establish an image of being gentle and sensible in His Majesty's mind.
Seeing Wangpin being so sensible, Ziyuan smiled with relief: "Your Majesty is right."
"A moment of success or failure doesn't mean anything. The one who laughs last is the winner."
Wangpin snorted coldly: "But Concubine Chen has humiliated me so much. If I do nothing, I will not be able to swallow this anger, and she will look down on me."
"She will become even more unscrupulous in the future!"
At this point, Wangpin glanced at Xiao Tianzi and said, "The palace maids who picked flowers during the day said that the people from Zhongcui Palace were arranging something in the Imperial Garden. Your Majesty went to Concubine Chen tonight, and she must have made some arrangements."
"Find a few smart people to spread the news."
It is not easy for the women in the harem to see His Majesty.
Especially for the unfavored concubines, it is difficult to inquire about the whereabouts of His Majesty.
If those people knew that His Majesty would appear in the Imperial Garden tonight, they would definitely take action.
Wangpin understood that those women might not be a match for Concubine Chen, nor might they be able to seduce His Majesty away, but as long as they could make trouble for Concubine Chen, it would be enough!
Otherwise, Concubine Chen is allowed to bully her, but she is not allowed to disgust her?
Xiao Tianzi bent over and said, "Yes. I will arrange it right away!"
Wang Fei warned: "Be careful, don't let anyone know that the news came from Yikun Palace."
Xiao Tianzi nodded: "I understand."
Ziyuan stood by and listened, but did not stop it.
