Chapter 280 The World of Mad Men and Mad Women 26
"Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for speaking for me," Jiang Chunxi bowed to Imperial Concubine Rong. "No wonder the Emperor always says that Imperial Concubine is a rare person of true character in the palace, and that I must spend more time with Imperial Concubine."
"The emperor really said that." Concubine Rong was very happy. Although she had long since given up on the emperor's favor, she was still very happy to receive such praise from the emperor.
But it would be enough for the emperor to praise her, and he should come to her palace less often in the future. Anyway, ever since her filter for the emperor was shattered, Concubine Rong is now very unwilling to serve the emperor. Plus, she doesn't want to go through the pain of childbirth again, so she is even more averse to serving the emperor in bed.
Concubine Rong gave birth to a daughter. She almost died from heavy bleeding during childbirth. This left a deep trauma on her mind about childbirth, and she really didn't want to have any more children. Anyway, she was already a concubine and had a daughter to take care of her, so there was really no need for her to give birth to another prince.
The main thing is that her father truly loves his daughter and only hopes that she will be well in the palace. He has never thought of forcing his daughter to give birth to a prince so that he can compete for the position in the future.
You can say that! As a woman in ancient times, Concubine Rong was very lucky.
"Of course," Jiang Chunxi said with a smile, "I dare not lie to the emperor."
In fact, she really lied, but so what? Anyway, Concubine Rong would not go to the emperor to verify it, and even if the emperor knew that she lied about him, he would not be angry.
"My dear, please go to your seat and sit down! Don't just stand there and talk." This was the voice of Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui already has a son, so she doesn't value the emperor's favor that much. Besides, since her daughter is in favor now, it is better to be on good terms with her than to offend her, so Concubine Hui naturally shows goodwill to Jiang Chunxi.
You can say that! As long as they don't offend Concubine Xian, the concubines in the harem are all pretty normal.
A concubine of high rank would not be sober-minded as to offend someone who is in favor like Jiang Chunxi.
"Thank you, Her Majesty Huifei, for the reminder." Jiang Chunxi bowed to Huifei and sat down in her seat.
Just as she sat down, Concubine Xian also arrived.
As soon as Concubine Xian walked in, she saw Jiang Chunxi. The expression on her face instantly became gloomy, with contempt and disdain. She just glanced at Jiang Chunxi with disdain and no longer looked at Jiang Chunxi with her proud eyes.
"Haha! As expected of someone who can have an affair with a guard, the way she looks at people is different from the other concubines in the harem," Jiang Chunxi sneered, "But it's true, she dared to have an affair, so of course she is different from the other concubines. Otherwise, how can she show her uniqueness?"
"My dear, the Queen Mother forbids anyone to say that Concubine Xian has an affair, so some things are better to be clear in your heart, and it is better not to speak out." Concubine Rong raised the corner of her mouth and kindly reminded Jiang Chunxi:
What a good scolding! If the Queen hadn't forbade people to talk about Concubine Xian's affair, she would have at least agreed with Guigui.
"Did I say anything about Concubine Xian's affair?" Jiang Chunxi blinked innocently at Concubine Rong. "I only mentioned certain people, but I didn't mention them by name."
"My dear, you are so insolent." Concubine Xian said angrily:
"How could I be so presumptuous?" Jiang Chunxi looked at Concubine Xian with a half-smile, "Why is Concubine Xian so excited? Are you finally going to admit that you had an affair with the guard? Otherwise, why would you be so excited about what I said?"
"Yes! Concubine Xian, why are you so excited?" Concubine Rong was also excited now, "My dear lady didn't mention you by name and said you were having an affair, so why are you so excited, unless you finally admit that you are a fickle person and betrayed the emperor by having an affair with a guard."
"Tsk tsk! Look at you! I really don't know what to say about you. The emperor and the queen suppressed the fact that you had an affair with the guard, but you admitted it just because of a few words from a precious person. If you had known this would happen, you would have just admitted it directly. Maybe the emperor would not be so angry and would not have demoted you to a concubine. Aren't you shooting yourself in the foot?"
"Noble Concubine Rong, please don't go too far." Concubine Xian's hands tightly grasped the handles of the chair, which was enough to prove how angry she was at the moment.
"How did Concubine Rong go too far?" Concubine Hui smiled and said, "Sisters, tell me, what did Concubine Rong say just now that was too much? It sounded to me like Concubine Rong was just being disappointed with Concubine Xian. If this is too much for Concubine Xian, then Concubine Xian is too ungrateful."
"Let me tell you! Imperial Concubine Rong has good intentions but bad results. If Imperial Concubine Rong were a man, then what she said would definitely move Imperial Concubine Xian. After all, Imperial Concubine Xian has always been very tolerant of men. I heard that the guard who was castrated was taken care of by Imperial Concubine Xian at great pains and only then did he recover," the one who spoke was a noble lady. "So! Imperial Concubine Rong's mistake was not that she meddled in other people's business, but that she was not a man."
"Alas! I am really worried!" The one who spoke was a concubine. "I don't know how many guards will be harmed by Concubine Xian's inability to stand loneliness. Will all the guards in this palace become eunuchs in the future and be sent to Concubine Xian's palace?"
"No wonder Concubine Xian doesn't despise the eunuch who has been castrated. After all, eunuchs are half men and can still satisfy women. The reason why Concubine Xian takes such good care of the guard must be to pave the way for future plans."
"Oh my! Oh my god," a nobleman exclaimed, "Is it that Concubine Xian is not satisfied with a guard becoming a eunuch? She has to replace all the servants in her palace with eunuchs who have been castrated. I heard that the eunuch in Concubine Xian's palace has recovered from his injuries. Does that mean that Concubine Xian has been partying every night recently? No wonder Concubine Xian doesn't care at all about the emperor's favoritism."
"That's right," a maid said with a curled lip, "this is normal! If the emperor doesn't go to Concubine Xian's palace for a few days, Concubine Xian will be restless. But in the past half month, the emperor has been favoring his precious concubine, but Concubine Xian has not made any move. It turns out that she has a favorite eunuch in her palace to relieve her loneliness, so naturally she doesn't bother to care who the emperor favors."
"What are you sisters talking about?" The queen was in the inner room listening to the concubines talking more and more outrageously, so she hurried out.
After all, she is the queen. No matter how much she wants to see Concubine Xian being bullied or even insulted, she has to find a limit, otherwise she would be incompetent as the queen.
"I send my regards to the Queen."
"Concubine, please give your regards to the Queen."
Everyone immediately stood up and saluted the Queen. Even Concubine Xian, who was so angry that she was about to lose control, stood up reluctantly and saluted the Queen.
