Chapter 23 The Emperor Returns to the Palace
The imperial concubine looked at the key, then at Yifei, and laughed loudly: "Haha, I'm just joking with you, why are you so nervous."

"Take the roster and keys with you, and go to Qiwu Palace with me to answer the queen."

Concubine Rou came in from outside the palace twisting her handkerchief: "Yo, I'm going to see the queen, why don't you wait for me."

"I was going to call you, you are here, let's go together." The imperial concubine said perfunctorily.

The three empresses took the lead, and the eunuchs followed slowly carrying thick wooden boxes.

Xia Chan, who lived in Wu Palace, came out to greet her in person, and the queen was dressed neatly, waiting for the third concubine to bring her money.

"That's right. The three of you worked together to help me accomplish this matter. I am very pleased."

Concubine Yi's complexion darkened, she was the only one who had done this matter, she was busy with other things, how could she become an assistant, the queen didn't even come out of the Wu Palace, but she wanted to take the credit.

Concubine Rou didn't feel bad about whether the queen would take credit or not, she didn't contribute anyway.

"Empress, the concubine has lost weight recently, you have to help the concubine to speak kindly in front of the emperor."

"Don't worry, when the emperor comes back, I will definitely report to the emperor the merits of you and the imperial concubine."

The imperial concubine sat firmly, drank tea slowly and did not answer. Concubine Yi presented a key and clapped her hands again. The eunuchs outside the door brought in three wooden boxes. When the boxes were opened, they were full of silver.

The queen glanced at the silver in the box, and felt very relieved. The expenses in the palace were originally a bad debt, but now that she has such a large fortune, the accounts look better.

"Xia Chan made two new bowls of Eight Treasures Leicha, and Imperial Concubine and Concubine Yi followed me into the tea room to drink tea."

Hearing this, the second concubine who was named quickly approached the queen and followed her step by step.

The three of them only prepared two cups of tea, Concubine Rou was not named, obviously the empress was not happy to keep her drinking tea, Concubine Rou nearly gritted her silver teeth, but she still had a fit smile on her face.

The queen turned around inadvertently, and found Concubine Rou standing where she was, pretending to be angry, and questioning Xia Chan.

"Concubine Rou is the most important person in this palace, why don't you cook an extra bowl, don't you even have a cup of tea in Wu Palace?"

"The empress forgives the sin, but the slaves are not careful."

Xia Chan raised her hand and slapped her cheek one by one, and her face immediately became rosy. This kind of red is different from carmine. Carmine's red is made from rose juice. The rouge man has a coquettish attitude on his body.

For example, the rouge on Concubine Yi's face was so charming and gorgeous.

But although Xia Chan's face was red, it had a faint black tinge, as if a piece of cyan had been mixed into the bright red paint. Such a messy red color was not only unbeautiful, but rather embarrassing.

If the empress intends to punish Xia Chan, it is best to fight behind closed doors. She insists on picking when all three of them are there. She clearly wants to tell the third concubine that you are my servants just like Xia Chan. Hit, scold if you want.

The three people present had different thoughts, and the imperial concubine looked on coldly, a little impatient in her heart.

Concubine Yi's heart was pounding, she was afraid that one day, this slap would hit her on the face.

Concubine Rou is full of humiliation, and she can't care about reason for a while.

She has been trampled under by the empress all these years, and she has never experienced any kind of anger or humiliation.

The queen punished Xia Chan to slap her mouth, but she didn't speak. Anyway, the queen beat her own servant girl, so she pretended not to understand.

Xia Chan's face could no longer be seen from its original appearance, the corners of her mouth were red and swollen, and it was estimated that she would not be able to work in ten days.

The queen was still waiting, waiting for Concubine Rou to speak and intercede for Xia Chan. The hall was quiet except for Xia Chan's muffled humming that kept ringing out.

Xia Chan didn't know how many slaps she had received, but her head was buzzing and she was dying.

The Empress and Concubine Rou are in a stalemate, while Concubine Huang Guifei and Concubine Yi are watching from the sidelines.

The worst one was Xia Chan, she was the victim when the masters fought.

The queen stared at Concubine Rou, Concubine Rou seemed to be deaf, not listening, not seeing, not speaking.

"Baby maid, get the hell out of here." The queen raised her foot and kicked Xia Chan.

Using hands and feet together, Xia Chan crawled out of the door in a panic. When she passed the door, Xia Chan, who was covered in scars, bumped into a bright yellow figure. Xia Chan raised her face, and then quickly lowered her head.

"Queen, why are you so angry?"

The appearance of Zhu Dunyi made the queen and others kneel in a hurry, shouting long live the emperor.

"Xia Chan despised Sister Concubine Rou, and my concubine punished her slightly."

"A little punishment? The queen really thinks of Concubine Rou."

When Zhu Dunyi came in just now, imperial concubine, concubine Yi, stood next to the queen, while Concubine Rou stood on the other side, Xia Chan knelt beside Concubine Rou to be punished, Concubine Rou turned pale with fright.

Concubine Rou timidly stood behind him, like a frightened kitten. Zhu Dunyi and Concubine Zhen once raised a kitten together. When the cat was hurt by the outside world, it would habitually hide behind its owner.

Zhu Dunyi stretched out his hand to embrace Concubine Rou into his arms: "I brought you a gift from the mountain, let's go! Follow me to have a look."

The queen called out, "Your Majesty."

"When I came down the mountain, I went all the way non-stop, and I didn't even have time to see the queen mother. I came to see the queen first, but the queen was busy disciplining the servants, so it seemed that she didn't have time to see me."

"That's not the case. The concubine is looking forward to it, and has already made tea and is waiting for the emperor."

"Oh, isn't there only two Lei Tea in Qiwu Palace? Don't tell me these two cups of tea are not for them."

The young emperor pointed to the two minions beside the queen, and all three were silent. It turned out that the emperor had arrived a long time ago, and the emperor knew about the previous conversation.

Zhu Dunyi glanced at the wooden box on the ground, "Where did the money come from, and where did it go back?"

The emperor glanced at Xun He, the eunuch behind him, and with a wave of Xun He's hand, a group of young eunuchs immediately came forward to carry the wooden box.

"I live in Jiuhua Peak, I don't care about government affairs, I don't care about world affairs, I'm not completely blind, this harem is still my harem after all, not the queen's harem."

"Imperial Concubine, Concubine Yi, do you think what I said is right?"

Concubine Huang Guifei and Concubine Yi hurriedly knelt down and looked at Zhu Dunyi in fear.

"The queen is the mother of the dynasty and the master of Qiwu Palace, but I am the master of the whole world. The two of you are more loyal to the queen than to me. I feel chilled."

"You two are busy serving the queen, and you don't even have the time to accompany her..."

Xun He, the chief eunuch next to the emperor, hurriedly waved, and behind him a eunuch in Tsing Yi ran forward, "Master, what do you want?"

"Emperor Noble Concubine and Yi Concubine are busy with their affairs, so tell Mr. Guo that it is inconvenient for the two empresses to serve Shengjia in the past half month."

The little eunuch Fugui ran out, but the emperor stopped him: "Fugui, come back."

Concubine Huang Guifei and Concubine Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but what the emperor said next broke their hearts again.

"I'm afraid half a month is not enough, tell Director Guo to arrange for the two ladies to rest for half a year."

The emperor led Concubine Rou away, Concubine Huang Guifei and Concubine Yi fell into panic, half a year, half a year had no chance to accompany Sheng Jia.

Concubine Huang Guifei and Concubine Yi had no intention of drinking tea at all, and the Empress didn't want to entertain guests either, so they left.

In a quiet room in the side hall, Xia Chan washed her face with a handkerchief, then took out the ointment and gently applied it to her cheeks.

There are two bowls of Lei Cha in front of her, the tea is fragrant and steaming at first, but now it is half cold.

Previously, he was beaten for missing a bowl of tea, but now there are two bowls of tea neatly placed, and no one wants to drink.
