Chapter 370 Complaint on the Spot
Shen Meizhuang's heart skipped a beat, and she explained calmly.
"Your Highness, I have already ordered the rear hall of Chuxiu Palace to be cleared. After paying my respects, I will take Princess Longyue back."
Concubine Hua nodded with satisfaction and added as if she suddenly remembered something.
"Eunuch Su has selected a group of people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve Princess Longyue. I will send them over later."
Shen Meizhuang gritted her teeth and thanked him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty, for your concern. I was just about to report that the palace is short of a few servants."
Su Peisheng represented the emperor, and Shen Meizhuang didn't dare to refuse the person sent by the other side.
These people should be here to serve Princess Longyue. No wonder Concubine Hua picked on her as soon as she came today.
Shen Meizhuang took a few deep breaths silently and quickly changed her facial expression to avoid giving Concubine Hua another excuse to humiliate her.
Concubine Hua saw Shen Meizhuang's transformation clearly, so she gave orders with a smile.
"Concubine Hui is indeed as considerate as the Emperor said. This palace is very pleased. The flower and herb room sent a batch of chrysanthemums, among which the green chrysanthemums are in full bloom. You can take them back and enjoy them."
When she heard about the Flower and Plant Room, An Lingrong's eyelids jumped. She had never heard that the Flower and Plant Room had sent out any flowers or plants.
The Empress Dowager's wake had just ended, and these bright colors were not suitable to be displayed outside.
When Shen Meizhuang was in trouble, Concubine Qi, who was attracted by Lu Ju, flattered her with a smile.
"Empress Hua, I have never seen a green chrysanthemum in my life. Only a noble like you is worthy of owning one. Could you please let me open my eyes?"
"I have already gifted the green chrysanthemum to Concubine Hui. Lady Qi, please ask her directly."
Although the curiosity on Concubine Qi's face was genuine, Concubine Hua felt upset when she recalled that the emperor had used chrysanthemums to provoke a fight between her and Shen Meiyu.
As an elder in the palace, Concubine Jing coughed lightly. This Concubine Qi is really good at talking.
With just one word, she offended the two imperial concubines and Huipin.
Concubine Qi thought that Concubine Jing was injured while keeping vigil, so she didn't even look at her and begged Shen Meiyu with a smile.
"You are truly blessed, Madam Hui. Could you please let me see the green chrysanthemums that Madam Noble Consort bestowed upon me?"
When Guarjia Wen Yuan said this, it was confirmed that Shen Meizhuang had accepted the reward from Concubine Hua.
She had no choice but to nod in agreement, and she felt a little more displeased with Concubine Qi who was causing her trouble.
Songzhi smiled and directed two young eunuchs to move the green chrysanthemum opposite An Lingrong to the empty seat between Shen Meiyu and Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi exclaimed repeatedly at Luju, praising her and praising Concubine Hua and Concubine Hui for their taste.
Huanbi knew very well that Shen Meizhuang was favored after entering the palace, and she tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth.
The fool Concubine Qi had no idea how uncomfortable Concubine Hua felt because of her endless praise.
Concubine Hua always holds a grudge and will never forgive Concubine Qi who hurts her heart.
If they offended the powerful Concubine Hua, it would be useless even if the Guwalja clan was as powerful as they could be.
"Your Highness, I feel a sense of familiarity the moment I see you."
An Lingrong listened to Concubine Qi's familiar words and subconsciously glanced at Concubine Hua, not missing the flash of anger on her face.
Concubine Qi, who was unaware that she had offended Concubine Hua, was still staring at Lu Ju in surprise with a beautiful smile.
"Lady Qi is beautiful and eloquent. I am very happy to hear that. Since you like green chrysanthemums so much, I will order the flower and herb room to prepare a pot for you."
Concubine Hua suggested with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward."
Seeing that her flattery had worked, Concubine Qi rolled her eyes and pointed at Huanbi who was sitting diagonally opposite her and said.
"Empress Hua, I want to report Consort He for disrespecting the Empress Dowager."
Huanbi, who was watching the show, didn't expect that Concubine Qi would suddenly attack her, so she opened her mouth to refute.
"Please understand, Your Majesty, I have never had such a rebellious heart. Noble Lady Qi is slandering me."
When Concubine Hua saw that there was something exciting going on, she quickly sat up straight and coughed lightly.
"Don't worry, my two nobles. I am a sensible person. Now, please tell us what happened in front of everyone."
Make her happy by the way.
Anyway, these two noble ladies in Changchun Palace are very annoying, so it's just right to let them fight with each other.
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness..."
Huanbi and Concubine Qi both spoke at the same time, vying to speak.
The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
The anxious Concubine Hua scratched the chair with her nails in annoyance and said in a deep voice.
"I know both of you have something to say. Lady He, since Lady Qi came to me first to make her point, let her speak first, and you can refute her later."
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Concubine Qi looked at Huanbi with pride. Concubine Hua asked her to speak first, which made it clear that she would stand on her side.
"Your Highness, Consort He spent a long time meticulously dressing up in her room before leaving for the prince's residence yesterday. This is clearly a disrespect to the Empress Dowager."
"A servant in the palace noticed a layer of powder floating on the copper basin carried by her personal maid."
"As soon as the Empress Dowager's wake was over, Concubine He couldn't wait to put on makeup. It's obvious that she doesn't care about the Empress Dowager at all."
"Noble He has corrupted the harem's morals. Please punish her severely, Your Majesty."
Concubine Hua nodded at Huanbi, who looked anxious, and motioned her to speak.
"Reporting to the Queen, Concubine Qi is slandering me. I heard that Concubine Yu is pregnant, so I took the opportunity to visit the Fourth Prince when he was being conferred the title."
"Your Majesty, you may not know that Concubine Yu was originally on duty at Yimei Garden. I had the honor of meeting her a few times, so I wanted to go and visit her."
"But just as Fubao and I were coming out of the back hall, Concubine Qi stopped us and started mocking us. Her words were so harsh that I was afraid they would pollute the ears of the ladies."
"But Concubine Xin, who was living in the side hall at the time, must have heard Concubine Qi's sour remarks."
"Sister Xin, please testify for my sister."
As Huanbi spoke, she gently wiped away her tears and stared pleadingly at Concubine Xin, who wanted to shrink away.
"Your Highness, I am getting older and my headaches are becoming more frequent. I often close the windows and rest, unaware of what is happening outside."
Concubine Xin glanced at Concubine Qi quickly and lowered her head again.
The two noble ladies in Changchun Palace were not good people. She had clearly stayed indoors and not gone out, but the quarrel between the two involved her, which was simply an unprovoked disaster.
Concubine Hua couldn't bear to bully an honest person, and stared at Huanbi with interest.
"Mr. He, do you have anything else to say?"
"My Lady, since entering the palace, Lady Qi has always disliked me. She..."
Huanbi started to talk nonsense and told Concubine Qi about her recent sarcasm, which startled Concubine Hua so much that her mouth moved slightly.
Songzhi, who was nearby, seemed to hear her own queen repeating what Concubine He said.
