After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 414 A ​​bustling crowd
After the imperial edict was issued, the concubines in the harem came to pay their respects one after another. Dressed in rouge, pearls, and jade, they gathered in the Yiku Palace, turning autumn into spring.

"Congratulations, Madam Noble Concubine. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, we have embroidered some purses to give to Madam Noble Concubine as a small gift?"

"I made these shoes for children. I wonder if they are suitable for the little prince to wear?"

"My Lady, this is the scripture I copied myself."

······
Everyone had gifts, and Nanny Wang had them collected one by one.

Ren Yuhuan would never touch these things. He put them together with the rewards given by His Majesty and the Queen Mother the day before and locked them in a box.

An old man in the palace recognized Nanny Wang and said to Ren Yuhuan with a smile, "Nanny Wang has a good eye. When she followed the Empress, she might have guessed that the Imperial Concubine would end up like this, right?"

Nanny Wang laughed and said, "I am old now. I should have been cleaning the courtyard in Cheng Huan Palace. It was the Imperial Concubine who brought me out out of love. I can only do my best to take care of the Imperial Concubine."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

"But now Cheng Huan Palace is still empty, who will be allowed to live in it?"

Ren Yuhuan blinked slowly and stared at these talented people.

They probably thought that since Ren Yuhuan was promoted to the position of imperial concubine, there would be no one to take the Chenghui position, so they were all waiting and watching.

This is a natural way of checking and balancing in the palace, but Ren Yuhuan couldn't guess who Shen Yanzhi would put in this position.

These concubines probably have to rely on their own abilities.

"Empress Qi is here!"

As the Crown Prince, Ren Yuhuan had to stand up to greet the guest before, but now he could just sit down and wait for Concubine Qi to come in.

Concubine Qi was followed by several talented ladies, and they all made their positions clear.

Concubine Qi took two quick steps as soon as she entered the room, stepped forward, shook Ren Yuhuan's hand and said, "Sister, congratulations!"

Ren Yuhuan smiled and said some polite words.

Concubine Qi sat down and reached out to take the teacup that Zanhua brought to her.

She raised her eyes to glance at the woman with the flower-shaped hairpin, and reached out to pick up the teacup, but suddenly her hand loosened, and the teacup and the tea fell to the ground, spilling all over the floor.

Upon seeing this, Zanhua immediately knelt down and apologized.

Concubine Qi took the handkerchief handed over by a confidant, wiped her hands slowly, and turned to Ren Yuhuan and said with a smile without even looking at the hairpin, "Look at me, I'm so clumsy that I can't even hold a teacup."

Ren Yuhuan stretched out his hand and waved at the hairpin: "The Concubine Qi's hands may be dry and slippery. Go to the back hall and get some of the vanishing cream that His Majesty gave me as a reward and give it to Concubine Qi."

Zanhua stood up, picked up the remaining cup and went out.

Concubine Qi cried out, "I have a lot of vanishing creams, but I don't like the greasy ones, so I don't use them."

Ren Yuhuan smiled faintly and said, "Autumn is dry, even the most tender hands will become peeling and slippery. If the teacup falls again and hurts your hand, it will be bad. Sister, you better be careful!"

Zanhua brought up the vanishing cream and Ren Yuhuan took it in his hands and opened it.

Then there was Xiao Cairen, who wanted to deliberately please Ren Yuhuan, so she said from below: "Hey, the vanishing cream used by the imperial concubine seems to be different from ours!"

This sentence reminded everyone, and everyone looked carefully and indeed found the difference.

The vanishing creams they used were all packed in shells, while Ren Yuhuan's was packed in small porcelain jars. The vanishing cream in the jade-white porcelain jar was like cheese, exuding a fresh fragrance.

“The taste is different too!”

Concubine Qi found that the one she used was better than that of other concubines, but it was still different from that of Ren Yuhuan.

"This was prepared by Imperial Doctor Xie. Only two bottles were made, and His Majesty gave me one." Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao smiled and said, "It was specially made for us. We can't compare to the ones we buy from outside!"

Concubine Qi was upset when she heard this. She immediately turned around and looked at Concubine Xiao with a smile and said, "They are all rewards from your majesty. How can you compare them and tell who is better?"

When Concubine Xiao heard this, she immediately knelt down and said, "I said something wrong, please forgive me, Concubine Qi."

Ren Yuhuan immediately stopped him with a smile: "Okay, everyone gathered in Yikun Palace, we should be friendly and talk casually. I don't need to set rules here."

When Concubine Qi heard this, she knew that Ren Yuhuan was mocking her for being harsh, so she immediately smiled and said, "Yes, sister, you take it too seriously. I just said a few words, and sister knelt down. It seems that I am too harsh. I really didn't mean that!"

Concubine Qi pretended to go over and personally helped Concubine Xiao up.

Xiao Cairen was so frightened that he dared not speak anymore and just sat there until he left.

"Zhanhua, go find someone to protect Concubine Xiao. I think Concubine Qi is going to attack her."

Zanhua heard this and immediately gave orders.

As expected, Xiao Cairen lived in Chuxiu Palace and was one of the group of beauties who entered the palace together with Concubine Qi. When she saw that Ren Yuhuan had been promoted to Imperial Concubine, she wanted her to have the title of Imperial Prince and the favor of His Majesty.

Even if the Queen Mother likes Concubine Qi, she may not be able to outlast His Majesty, so today she took the initiative to help and planned to join Ren Yuhuan.

Ren Yuhuan was not stupid and could see it clearly.

Because of this, Concubine Qi naturally saw it, so in order to suppress Ren Yuhuan's momentum, Concubine Qi would definitely take action against Concubine Xiao.

As expected, on the way back, two palace maids approached, conveyed the Queen Mother's intention, and called Xiao Cairen away alone.

Although Xiao Cairen was confused, she did not dare not to follow.

They followed him to a deserted place and when they came to the edge of a palace wall, a palace servant who was leading the group turned around and blocked their way.

"Why don't you leave?"

Xiao Cairen had already realized that something was wrong, but he still wanted to scare the two servants by relying on his status.

However, before she could get into a show, the palace maid behind her kicked Xiao Cairen to the ground.

"This is to teach your Majesty the rules of the palace. Your Majesty did not learn all of them when she entered the palace, so we servants will help you catch up."

The palace maid behind her stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Cairen's hair and lifted her face up.

"Eyes are used to see clearly who should be relied upon!"

As he said this, the servant reached out and poked Xiao Cairen's eyes.

Xiao Cairen cried and shouted but there was no response at all.

"As for this mouth, words that shouldn't be said should not come out of it."

Several slaps hit Xiao Cairen's mouth, making it swollen.

"Okay, Madam, that's all for today's lesson. If there is anything wrong in the future, I will teach you again."

Xiao Cairen was just left here like this.

There were tears and blood in her eyes, and she screamed and groped on the ground, but she could see nothing.

Fortunately, Ren Yuhuan's men found Xiao Cairen in time and brought her back to Yiku Palace.

"We are the Imperial Concubine's subordinates. Please get on the sedan quietly. We will take you to the Yikun Palace!"

Although Xiao Cairen couldn't see, she could only trust these people now. The sedan chair was carried to Yiku Palace.
