The little palace maid is charming and charming, and she is a disaster along the way

Chapter 18: A red tassel comes out of the wall
"Lady Shu, please——"

Yugui made a gesture of invitation, and Shen Qingtang turned his eyes away from her hand and looked at Concubine Liang helplessly.

"I'm afraid I can't drink tea with you today. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I will definitely visit you another day."

"It's okay. Am I such a stingy person?" Concubine Liang glanced at Shen Qingtang in a reproachful manner, and then looked at Yugui. "I heard that the Imperial Concubine was unwell, and I was very worried last night. If the Imperial Concubine invites you, I will go with you to see her."

Eh?
Didn’t we agree that my insomnia was caused by being happy for her?

Shen Qingtang looked at Concubine Liang dully. Noticing her gaze, Concubine Liang coughed lightly in discomfort.

"The road is right under your feet, why are you looking at me?" Haven't you heard that women's words can be deceptive?

As she spoke, Concubine Liang took Ping'er's hand and was about to go towards Minghua Palace. Yugui, who had been ordered to only invite Shen Qingtang, had a flash of light in her eyes and hurriedly called out to Concubine Liang.

"Please stay, Concubine Liang. Concubine Gui is not feeling well, so we only invited Concubine Shu today. If Concubine Liang wants to visit Concubine Gui, please go another day."

Yugui dared to reject Concubine Liang as a slave, which shows how powerful Concubine Zhengui was in the harem.

Seeing Concubine Liang's expression change slightly, Shen Qingtang hurriedly spoke up.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that you would have dinner with the Third Prince today? If you go back late, I'm afraid the Third Prince will be disappointed." Shen Qingtang's eyes were filled with gratitude. Given Concubine Zhengui's reputation for being domineering and jealous in the harem, Concubine Liang was also afraid that she would be bullied.

She couldn't let Concubine Liang be humiliated again.

but--

"I'm not going to get angry with a slave." Concubine Liang pushed Shen Qingtang away and glared at Yugui with a bad look, "The road is right under my feet. Why do you want to tell me where to go, Miss Yugui?!"

Even though she had the ladder handed to her by Shen Qingtang, she was still a concubine, and being humiliated by a servant in public, didn't she have any dignity? !

Concubine Liang had put the accusation of insubordination on her head, so how could Yugui dare to put it on her head?

thump!
"I dare not." Yugui knelt on the ground.

"I dare not even think of you."

At Concubine Liang's cold snort, Yugui looked at the figure leaning on the ground and straightened her back slightly.

"Your Highness, Concubine Liang, please allow me to report. I have come here to receive your orders. If Your Highness, Concubine Gui, fails to see Concubine Shu before the hour of Si, I am afraid she will be anxious waiting for you."

It was just past this hour and the sun hanging high above our heads was becoming increasingly hotter.

After all, due to Concubine Zhengui's arrogance, Concubine Liang's expression changed several times, and finally she asked Yugui to stand up.

As Yugui waited, Shen Qingtang smiled soothingly at Concubine Liang.

"It's getting late, Madam, please don't make the Third Prince wait anxiously. I will accompany you to drink tea and appreciate flowers another day."

Shen Qingtang brought Shi Liu and An Lan, and followed Yu Gui towards Minghua Palace. She watched her leave. Concubine Liang was silent for a moment, and finally took Ping Er's hand and went to Changchun Palace.

"If it is a blessing, it will not be a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. It is the time and the fate~" I thought that Concubine Zhengui would not come, but she still came.

On the wide palace road, Ping'er supported Concubine Liang and walked farther and farther away.

"Your Majesty, why did you offend Concubine Zhengui for Concubine Shu? In my opinion, that little bitch Yugui will definitely complain when she returns!"

"…a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water."

……

"It turns out that it's not that the play can't be performed, but the venue has been changed. It's a pity that you and I are not qualified to watch the wonderful performance."

Not long after Concubine Liang left, Concubine Luo, dressed in an exquisite dress, walked out from behind the vermilion palace gate.

Also by her side were Liu Zhaoyuan and the pregnant Concubine Zhang.

"She is lucky enough to be favored by Concubine Liang. Let's watch the show..." Liu Zhaoyuan narrowed her eyes slightly, "As long as she is favored, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Who is Concubine Zhengui?
The most jealous person in the harem!
I am the favorite concubine, so how could I watch another person share the favor!
Concubine Luo smiled without comment, then turned to look at Concubine Zhang, who had the lowest rank among the three of them, her eyes fixed on her slightly bulging belly.

"Jiapin said that Concubine Shu is lucky. I wonder if she is pregnant now?" Liu Zhaoyuan paused and snorted coldly, "Didn't they say that she has a weak constitution? Even if she is really pregnant, I'm afraid--"

Liu Zhaoyuan's smile gradually faded, and everyone understood what she had not said.

Concubine Luo's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Concubine Zhang's belly, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

"The Queen is right. Whether you are favored or not, it is best to be like Sister Zhang. It is really enviable."

The new emperor has been on the throne for five years, and not only are there few concubines in the harem, but he also has very few children.

There are only five princes and princesses now.

If Concubine Zhang's baby could survive, it would be the first child since Emperor Yuji ascended the throne.

Concubine Zhang took in Luopin's envious gaze and said with a pleasing smile, "Sister Luopin, why do you envy me? As long as you listen to the imperial physician and take good care of your body, it won't be long before you continue the emperor's bloodline."

"You are such a sweet talker."

Concubine Luo praised Concubine Zhang with her mouth, but her beautiful eyes looked towards the direction of Minghua Palace with disappointment.

……

Si time, Minghua Palace.

Along the way, Yugui walked very fast.

After passing the rockery and lotus pond, Shen Qingtang did not have time to appreciate the landscaping layout of Minghua Palace before Yugui led him through the rustling bamboo forest.

Only two steps away from the moon cave gate, there was a sound of wind breaking through the air.

It's like the air being cut by a sharp weapon, refreshing.

"Your Majesty, Lady Shu has arrived."

Following Yugui's reminder, Shen Qingtang had just followed her into the moon cave gate when a whistling sound followed.

call out!
Shen Qingtang's pupils suddenly shrank, and a red tasseled spear flashed a cold light under the scorching sun and came straight at his forehead.

"My lady!!!" Shi Liu and An Lan were heartbroken.

The tip of the sharp red tasseled spear was only an inch away from Shen Qingtang's brow, but someone grasped the end of the gun handle and prevented it from moving forward even an inch.

"Are you Shen Qingtang?"

Shen Qingtang broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the woman's arrogant and domineering voice.

"I am asking you a question. How could the eloquent Lady Shu be mute?"

Under the angry rebuke of Concubine Zhengui, Shen Qingtang shifted her gaze from the red tassel spear that Senhan was holding to kill her to the owner of the red tassel spear.

Under the bamboo forest, Concubine Zhengui was dressed neatly, with her black hair tied high on her head. Her face, whose facial features were not beautiful, was as bright and passionate as a flaming rose in the hot summer.

Because she was ignored, she seemed particularly angry, and her pair of heroic smoky eyebrows were even more tightly furrowed.

"If you don't speak, don't blame me for cutting off your tongue and making you a real mute!"

Under her defiant eyes, Shen Qingtang suddenly raised his hand, put two fingers together and gently pinched the sharp blade, and his gentle and caring voice slowly reached Zhengui Fei's ears.

"The sword and the gun have no eyes. Your Majesty's body is precious. Please be careful not to hurt it."

Shen Qingtang used a little skill in his wrist and snatched the red tasseled spear that was almost pierced into Concubine Zhengui's forehead while she was not prepared, and then gently placed it on the ground.

In this way, his life and property were no longer threatened, and he knelt down respectfully.

"Your concubine Shen from Fanghua Palace pays respects to the Imperial Concubine."
