Concubine, she rises step by step

Chapter 52 Concubine Lan Was Shocked
Yuxiu Palace.

The pure concubine came to Concubine Lan's place early on, and she had to see what this person wanted to see if she wanted to go or not.

"Your Majesty, after all, the empress is in charge of this matter. If you don't go, will you be suspected of being provocative?" Seeing that Concubine Lan is still leisurely and elegantly trimming the new Phalaenopsis orchids from the greenhouse, Kunshuang somewhat feels that the master is overbearing.

Concubine Lan was rebellious, and said bluntly: "I am not targeting the empress, I really don't like the arrogant appearance of Shengyi, as if the palace can't do without her! One who is always there, I have to think twice about lifting shoes for me. How is it possible to let the palace rush to listen to her?"

The pure concubine always knew that Concubine Lan's temperament was soft and not hard, so she said euphemistically: "When this kindness did not enter the palace, my sister was the only favorite. Since the kindness entered the palace, I don't know why the emperor and queen have been blinded by her. She always has something to do, which makes us seem to be ignorant of the overall situation. However, my sister also knows that if a person has a wrong heart, even if she is favored again, it will only pass in a flash. We should maintain the demeanor of a wealthy daughter's family. When kindness and tricks don't work, the emperor will see clearly who is the noble daughter of the family and who is the clown."

Kunshuang had always thought that the pure concubine was a well-educated lady, and she liked to listen to her words very much, and now she couldn't help but agree, "My lady, what the pure concubine said is not unreasonable."

Concubine Lan naturally appreciates her own style. She adheres to the principle that the noble daughters of the aristocratic family don’t care about clowns, and her tone is a little softer. "It’s still my younger sister who can speak to my heart. She is kind, and she is also a role of a clown. What kind of insight can she have as a maid from a poor background? She also said that she is helping the queen to clean up the discipline. It’s just a joke! I also want to see how far she can jump around?"

Seeing that Concubine Lan's tone softened, Kunshuang was about to persuade her again, but Dongjuan ran over.

Dongjuan looked at Concubine Lan nervously, and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the Empress is already in Changchun Palace!"

Concubine Lan stopped holding the scissors, turned her head to look at Fengmei in surprise, and asked, "You said the queen is in Changchun Palace?"

Dong Juan nodded anxiously and replied: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. The Empress Dowager asked Aunt Ai Xiang to bring Eunuch Xiao to summon the concubines from all the palaces at the moment, and she said that she would sit in town and accompany Sheng Changzai until all the palaces were gathered. If not, she would not leave."

Kunshuang was a little anxious at this moment, and hurriedly approached Concubine Lan, bowing down to persuade her, "Madam, I'm afraid the empress is serious. Fortunately, it's just that you're late for the meeting, and there's nothing wrong with it. If you go early, you'll flatter Sheng Changzai. However, if you're late, as long as there's a reason for it, it's not an exaggeration. On the contrary, it will make Sheng Changzai lose face."

The pure concubine also came down and said to Concubine Lan: "Sister, since the queen has spoken, it would be inappropriate not to go."

After analyzing it here, Concubine Lan gave herself a step down, "What you said is not unreasonable."

After speaking, he put down the scissors and walked away.

Several people arrived at Changchun Palace in a sedan chair.

"The concubine Lan has arrived! The concubine pure has arrived!" Tong Chuan's voice sounded.

Queen Suo Yaoyi raised her eyes and looked a little displeased.

Her kind face was calm, and today's home game was not her.

Tong Zining felt much more at ease since the queen came in, her eyes were full to see how Concubine Lan and Concubine Chun would explain.

Xuan Que was more or less dissatisfied that these bosses were so late for work, she couldn't get used to it, and a disdain quietly grew in her heart to walk with them.

Zhang Changzai didn't care, but felt a little noisy. She didn't have any malice towards Shengyi, and she didn't have a good impression of Lanfei either.

All of a sudden, several concubines had their own thoughts, their eyes were scattered, and their thoughts were flying.

Concubine Lan walked forward with a proud face, while Concubine Chun walked behind with meek eyes.

"Greetings to the Empress!" Concubine Lan and Concubine Chun saluted.

Sheng Yi and others stood up and saluted one after another: "Greetings to Empress Lan! Greetings to Empress Chun!"

The empress did not have the gentle attitude of calming things down before. Instead, she changed her usual sitting upright, with one hand hanging on the back of the chair, and her body slightly turned sideways. She looked at Concubine Lan and Concubine Chun with cold eyes: "Concubine Lan and Concubine Chun are really hard to please!"

A stern voice immediately made Concubine Lan and Concubine Chun realize that something was wrong.

Thinking that the queen would just turn one eye and close one eye in the past, Concubine Lan held up her dignity and said: "The queen's atonement! The concubine knows that today is the day when Sheng Chang is announcing the new palace regulations. In order to be sincere, she specially brought the pure concubine to come here to pray for safety in Yuxiu Palace. The master of Baohua Palace also said that it is impossible to be sincere, and the time is not good. This is a waste of time. Come to think of it, the queen and sister Sheng should understand our intentions, right?"

It seemed inappropriate for her to speak so carefully, and it seemed inappropriate to pick others' thorns. The queen said nothing, but kindly replied: "The concubine has always obeyed the queen's orders from the very beginning, and everything has to be decided by the queen."

Good intentions are not stupid, the queen doesn't get angry easily, how can she take the lead in destroying the queen's prestige?That's her backing!

Sure enough, after hearing the sound, the queen sneered softly: "I don't know that there is such a saying! It seems that I will go to Baohua Palace to ask for advice in person!"

Originally, it was a step for myself and a perfunctory for the queen. It seems that the queen doesn't buy it in this situation!

Concubine Lan and Concubine Chun knelt down solemnly, and Concubine Lan said with a serious expression: "No matter what, the Empress Dowager must be troubled and worried. This concubine should have informed the Empress before this. It is really that this concubine has not considered carefully."

The pure concubine leaned even lower, and Concubine Lan had already taken her down. From now on, it was impossible to remain neutral on the surface. She was a real member of Concubine Lan's faction. At this moment, she felt a sense of regret in her heart.

Obtaining Concubine Lan's low profile, the queen gave up, "It's not that I'm being serious, but that rules are rules. Since the emperor agrees to implement the new palace rules, how can he go back on his word and be perfunctory?"

Concubine Lan's face was ugly with embarrassment, and she said reluctantly: "What the empress said is exactly, the concubine obeys."

At this time, the pure concubine said: "The concubine would like to follow the teachings of the empress."

The queen nodded slightly, "Okay! Sit to one side!"

After Concubine Lan and Concubine Chun sat down with gloomy faces, the queen turned to look at Sheng Yi, "Let's begin!"

Gracefully received the instruction, and lightly returned the gift: "I obey."

He raised his head slightly, walked to the middle kindly, and said to Xiao Anzi, "Little Anzi, show the regulations."

Xiao Anzi answered vigorously, "Yes."

After finishing speaking, the two young eunuchs hurriedly opened the banner, which read:

KPIs for this month:

1. Maid assessment: Master Xin Zheku, who does not know his likes and dislikes, exercises for three months (examiner: Sheng Changzai)

2. Assessment of concubines: Elimination of those who are jealous (drugs, abortion, stabbing villains), those who talk nonsense, those who are dull (not interested in taste), and those who are not interested in the emperor (difficult to find) (Examiner: Lanfei)
Lan Fei was shocked, "This—"
