Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 958: Palace Maids and Concubines 1

"I seem to be late," Jiang Chunxi smiled and bowed to the Queen, "I apologize to Her Majesty the Queen. I hope Her Majesty will forgive me this time."

"Please get up, Concubine Min!" the Queen said. "You are only a little late. I won't get angry over such a small matter."

As she spoke, the Queen looked at Jing Da Ying who was still squatting behind Jiang Chunxi and said, "Jing Da Ying, please stand up too! Poor thing, why does your face look like this? How much suffering has he endured?"

"Min Fei," the Queen looked at Jiang Chunxi dissatisfiedly, "Jing promised that she is still the Emperor's concubine after all. Even if she did something wrong, you shouldn't torture her. Moreover, if a concubine in the harem makes a mistake, it is my responsibility as the Queen to punish her."

"Concubine Min is taking over the reins of power and torturing the concubines. Is this a provocation to me, the Queen?"

"Your Highness has put such a huge blame on me that I don't know what to say," Jiang Chunxi smiled and sat down at her seat. "It's just that the Queen Mother said that she arranged for Jing to stay in my Liuli Palace so that Jing could vent her anger on me. Now that the Queen Mother has said this, should I listen to you or the Queen Mother?"

The Queen's expression darkened slightly. "Since the Empress Dowager has said so, then naturally her words will prevail. However, Jing promised that she is still a master after all. Even if Concubine Min wants to humiliate her, she should be more cautious. We can't let the servants in this palace laugh at the master."

"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled. "This is humiliating! How come I only realized today that the Empress is such a kind person? But when Jing promised to be imprisoned in the cold palace, the Empress did a lot of work."

"How dare you," the Queen said, looking at Jiang Chunxi angrily. "Min Fei, don't take advantage of the fact that the Queen Mother dotes on you and act lawless. I am the mistress of the harem. You treat me with such disregard. Are you trying to commit insubordination?"

"I dare not," Jiang Chunxi looked at the Queen with a provocative look. "Of course, if Her Majesty insists that I am committing a crime of insubordination, then I have no way to defend myself. I don't even bother to say I'm innocent."

"Empress Min really displays her arrogance to the fullest," this was Concubine He's voice. "But Empress Min is so arrogant and domineering, relying on the Empress Dowager's favor. Isn't she afraid of upsetting the Empress Dowager? You know, the Empress Dowager hates people who rely on their favor the most. Jing Da Ying is the best example."

"Jing agreed," Hepin looked at Jing and agreed, "Don't you think so? If you hadn't created a loving image for yourself and acted arrogant and looked down on others, the Queen Mother wouldn't have made the final decision to put you in the cold palace."

"Haha!" Hepin laughed, "This master and servant are really the same. They both become arrogant when they are proud..."

"Slap me in the face." Jiang Chunxi ordered with a cold face, and the palace maid behind her quickly came to Concubine He and slapped her twice.

"Rebellion, rebellion," the Queen was really angry this time, "Min Fei, you are really lawless. You really treat me, the Queen, as a decoration, don't you?"

"Empress," Jiang Chunxi raised her eyebrows and looked at the empress, "I know that Concubine He is yours, but even if you want to favor your own people, don't treat them too differently."

"When Concubine He just said something so offensive to me, why didn't you, as the Queen, stop her or punish her?"

"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "Since the Queen allowed Concubine He to offend me, then after I punished Concubine He, the Queen should have avoided suspicion instead of questioning me in a rage."

Hepin looked at Jiang Chunxi with shame and anger, but she didn't dare to say anything at this moment, for fear that if she opened her mouth again, this bitch Jiang Chunxi would have someone beat her again.

So now Hepin can only count on the Queen to make the decision for her, but it is obvious that the Queen has disappointed her. After all, Jiang Chunxi has the Queen Mother as her backer, and the Queen really can't do anything to Jiang Chunxi.

One can imagine the shock in Jing's heart at this moment. She really didn't expect that Jiang Chunxi would be so arrogant, and she didn't expect that Jiang Chunxi could let the Queen Mother support her.

It's no wonder that Jiang Chunxi dared to humiliate her like that and was not afraid that the emperor would be angry. After all, with the empress dowager as her backer, the emperor would naturally not do anything to Jiang Chunxi.

Jing Da Ying was puzzled and couldn't figure out how Jiang Chunxi had caught the Empress Dowager's eye.

"Your Highness, just forget it!" This was Concubine De's voice. "Why are you being so harsh and demanding? Concubine Min doesn't even take you seriously. And most importantly, Your Highness, there's nothing you can do about Concubine Min!"

"So, why are you asking for trouble? Look at how angry you are. What if you get sick from being angry?"

The Queen cast a cold look at Concubine De: "Concubine De, Concubine Min is protected by the Queen Mother. Do you think you are also protected by the Queen Mother?"

De Fei's expression turned awkward: "Your Majesty, you are joking. I am not as lucky as Min Fei."

"Since you know you don't have such a good life, then watch your mouth," the Queen said coldly, "Don't bring disaster upon yourself just for the sake of a quick word. That would be bad."

"The Empress is right." Defei said. It's not that she was really afraid of the Empress, but she also didn't want to become a mortal enemy with the Empress. After all, there was the suppression of her status. If the Empress really wanted to target her, it would be too easy.

Concubine Li gave Concubine De a cold look with an expression of contempt.

You are so incompetent and love to play. If you can't afford to offend the queen, you shouldn't have said such mean words just now.

"This Jing Da Ying has been in the cold palace for a few years, but she doesn't seem to have lost any weight!" Concubine Li looked at Jing Da Ying. "It's really strange. Could it be that the food in the cold palace is good? That's why Jing Da Ying stayed there for three years, like he was on vacation, and didn't lose any weight at all?"

"How could that be!" someone immediately said, "What kind of place is the Cold Palace? It's lucky that the people imprisoned there didn't starve to death. You still expect them to have good food and drink. Isn't that a joke?"

"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi sneered. "Jing agreed to stay in the cold palace for three years. Not only is she being pampered with good food and drink, but she also doesn't have to do any housework. Things like washing clothes and cleaning the house are all done for her by others."

"Jing agreed," Jiang Chunxi looked at Jing and agreed, "Tell me, I am not wrong! Although you have been in the cold palace for the past few years, you have not suffered at all."

"Tsk tsk! The Emperor truly loves you so much that even if you were sent to the cold palace, his love for you wouldn't diminish in the slightest. Just based on this fact, you surpass all the other concubines in the harem."
