Chapter 125: Every monkey has its own way of tying up
Chen Da Ying was so scared that his face turned pale and he fell to his knees with a plop.
Although Concubine Zhou was pregnant with the royal heir, she did not dare to put on airs in front of Concubine Liu and knelt down in fear.
"Your Highness, please calm down! Even if you give us a hundred courages, we still wouldn't dare to do it!"
Concubine Liu narrowed her peach blossom eyes and looked at the two of them with a cold look.
In the harem, if she wanted to deal with someone, it must be because she wanted to do it. Concubine Liu would never allow anyone to challenge her authority and try to use her as a knife!
Concubine Zhou was pregnant with the child she wanted, so she couldn't do anything to her for the time being, so she set her sights on Chen Da Ying.
"Chen promised to disrespect me, go out and kneel down."
Chen Da Ying suddenly raised her head, her face full of regret, and begged bitterly: "My Lady, I really know I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me!"
It was still snowing outside and there was a thick layer of ice on the ground. If she went out and kneeled down at this time, even if she didn't freeze to death, her legs would almost be broken!
Concubine Liu was too lazy to look at her anymore. She slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Xiao Weizi made a "please" gesture and said with a fake smile: "Chen promised, if you don't want to kneel down decently, then I will do it for you!"
Chen Da Ying's eyes were filled with tears, but she did not dare to disobey Concubine Liu's order, so she had to stand up and walk out tremblingly, kneeling on the freezing cold ground.
She felt humiliated outside the Yangxin Palace, so she came to Yongshou Palace, hoping to punish Concubine Rou with the help of the Imperial Concubine. Why did she not only fail, but also be punished by the Imperial Concubine?
At this moment, Chen Da Ying was so regretful that his intestines turned green, and he couldn't help but hate Shen Zhinian even more!
Xiao Weizi looked at her embarrassed figure and rolled his eyes.
Who is this idiot? How dare he try to take advantage of the imperial concubine? He really doesn't know how to live or die!
In the main hall.
Seeing Chen Da Ying being punished, Concubine Zhou was trembling with fear. She couldn't help but feel lucky that she had a "golden card of immunity from death", otherwise her fate would probably not be better than Chen Da Ying.
The Imperial Concubine is so moody and difficult to serve...
Concubine Liu looked at Concubine Zhou impatiently and said, "Get up. If it gets out, people will say that I abused the concubine who was pregnant with the heir to the throne."
Lady Zhou stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "I don't know how many people in the harem are staring at my belly. Without your protection, how could I have been pregnant so safely? Your Majesty treats me like a second child, so there would naturally be no such nonsense."
Concubine Liu's expression became better: "You are sensible!"
However... although she was dissatisfied with Concubine Zhou and Chen Da Ying for daring to use her as a knife, what they said was not without reason.
She had never seen His Majesty dote on a woman as much as he did on Concubine Rou. Would Concubine Rou really become more powerful than her in the future?
She must plan ahead!
Who knew that at this moment, Xiao Weizi came in and reported: "My queen, Concubine Rou is here."
In the harem, no one dared to make things difficult for the person the emperor held dear to his heart. Even though Concubine Liu was very jealous, she still said, "Please let her in."
"Yes."
On the way to Yongshou Palace, Shen Zhinian was sitting in a warm sedan chair, but he did not forget the coldness of walking on the palace road, let alone kneeling.
When she was in Tingyu Pavilion, she heard from Xiao Mingzi that Chen promised to meet Concubine Liu outside the Yangxin Palace, but failed. He then held a grudge against her for not being invited in, and turned to Yongshou Palace, presumably to curry favor with Concubine Liu.
Judging from the situation, the plan failed and they were punished?
Chen Da Ying didn't even look at the fact that Concubine Liu was the number one person in the harem after the Queen. How could a mere concubine like her take advantage of her?
How stupid!
Chen Da Ying also saw Shen Zhinian, and the jealousy in her eyes was about to overflow, but she still had to bow respectfully: "I pay my respects to the noble lady Rou, and I wish you good luck!"
Shen Zhinian covered her mouth with a handkerchief, revealing a look of surprise: "It's freezing cold, why is my sister kneeling here?"
Chen Da Ying's face turned pale and blue and he was speechless.
Xiao Weizi smiled and said, "Lady Rou, Chen promised to be disrespectful to the Imperial Concubine, and the Imperial Concubine has punished her to kneel here and reflect on her mistakes."
Shen Zhinian nodded in understanding: "I see. Since it is the order of the Imperial Concubine, you should kneel down properly, sister."
Chen Da Ying looked at her back and was almost crying with anger!
After entering the inner room, Shen Zhinian performed a standard greeting: "I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good fortune and happiness!"
Looking at her charming face, Concubine Liu felt very complicated, jealous and sour.
With such a young and tender face and a natural beauty, no wonder His Majesty likes her so much...
"Get up."
Concubine Zhou sat on a chair nearby, looking as if she was enjoying the show.
Although the Imperial Concubine didn't say it, everyone in the harem knew that she was the most jealous. Every time I read the history books, any concubine who slept with the Imperial Concubine more times would definitely be hated and targeted by the Imperial Concubine!
Lady Rou dares to come to me at this critical moment. She really doesn't know her place!
Shen Zhinian naturally heard the coldness in the imperial concubine's tone. She came here today just for this matter.
After all, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is very powerful and she is totally unable to deal with it now. She must rely on the power of Concubine Liu.
As for how to eliminate Concubine Liu's jealousy and make her continue to trust him, it was not a difficult task for Shen Zhinian.
The emperor likes simple and kind women. What Concubine Liu cares about most is the emperor's love. Every monkey has its own way of tying it up.
"I came to visit you today because I want to talk to the Imperial Concubine alone."
Concubine Liu still had a cold expression on her face and waved her hand, saying, "Concubine Zhou, go back and rest first."
Lady Zhou was somewhat reluctant, but had to stand up: "Yes. I will take my leave!"
Only Shen Zhinian and Concubine Liu, as well as her confidants, were left in the inner room.
Concubine Liu looked at Shen Zhinian with an increasingly cold gaze: "I heard that Concubine Rou came here in a warm sedan chair. No noble lady in the harem has ever had such an honor. His Majesty really loves you! I'm afraid it won't be long before the most favored person in the six palaces will change from me to Concubine Rou!"
At other times, Shen Zhinian would have pretended to be horrified to alleviate Concubine Liu's jealousy. But that was only a temporary solution.
At this moment, not only did she not accuse herself of a crime out of fear, but she also showed a charming yet dangerous smile like a poppy: "Yes, His Majesty does love me very much."
Concubine Liu's expression suddenly became uglier than ever before. She stared at Shen Zhinian's gentle face, a strong chill emanating from her body, and her eyes were ready to kill anyone!
Not to mention the palace servants who were kneeling on the ground, even Cuizhu was frightened and stood behind Concubine Liu with her head down, not daring to breathe.
