Why doesn't this king's concubine compete for favor?

Chapter 287
The embroidered lady of the harem spent more than half a year making five sets of costumes for her, and changed them countless times, but she still felt that they were not perfect, and she was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.

Concubine Shu pointed at the female officials and embroiderers who were kneeling on the ground, and angrily reprimanded:
"How do you all do things? You can't do this little thing well?"

Among them, the female officer of the Shangxiu Bureau, who was a little higher in the first rank, said tremblingly:
"Hui Niangniang, these are all restructured according to your previous request, and we have indeed tried our best."

Concubine Shu's voice suddenly rose:

"What do you mean? Is it all my fault?"

Qiu Yuebai, who was waiting in the main hall, was stabbed by the sharp voice of his mother and concubine. He shook his head helplessly, lowered his head and continued to drink tea, his thoughts wandered, and he thought of Jiaojiao on the tip of his heart. Women should be gentler. She has a cute and docile side, but most of them are staged. Most of the time, she still looks unrestrained and naive, but when she loses her temper, she is quite scary
Just thinking about it like this, there was finally movement from the mother concubine's side.

No matter how bad-tempered Concubine Shu was, she restrained her sharpness because her son was outside, and finally, reluctantly, chose a set of relatively decent Chinese clothes and let the group of The frightened embroiderer.

Concubine Shu finally came late, and when she saw Qiu Yuebai, there was still no expression of joy or anger on her face. She sat upright at the head, with her wide skirt piled up at her feet.

Qiu Yuebai put down the teacup, got up and paid respects to the concubine mother according to the etiquette.

Concubine Shu has an extremely beautiful appearance. Although she comes from a family, her family status is not high. When she participated in the draft 20 years ago, she was already in her 20s. Obviously, her age is no longer an advantage, but she is better than her beauty. Among all the beautiful girls, she was extremely dazzling, she stood out completely by her appearance, and she was the first to be selected by Emperor Yongning.

Now, more than 20 years have passed, although she is well maintained, she is no longer young. After this year, she is 47 years old, which makes her more anxious and irritable.

Fortunately, the lady has always been favored by fate. When she was young, she was supported by beauty, and when she was old, she had an outstanding son, which made her stand tall for so many years.

After Qiu Yuebai finished saluting, she sat there, just like in the past, she always talked less.

Concubine Shu's beautiful eyes kept wandering, and she spoke slowly:
"Recently, I seldom see King Xunyang. King Xunyang really forgot that there is me as a concubine in the palace."

Qiu Yuebai is used to hearing this kind of words, he has always responded to all changes with the same, so he responded lightly:

"My son doesn't dare."

Concubine Shu said coldly:
"Why don't you dare, I heard that the Marquis of Wu'an was taken into Dali Temple by you, and the entire Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was sealed off, but it's your masterpiece again?"

Qiu Yuebai lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, her tone was calm:

"Marquis Wu'an's crimes are unforgivable, and my ministers are just following the rules."

"It's good to do things according to the rules. You have established a supervisory department. It's okay to beat those court officials. Now even the Marquis is not let go. Are you going to offend all the dignitaries in the capital? Huabengong has told you countless times, but you can't listen to it, so I really can't control you."

Qiu Yuebai's ears were callused, he still showed his usual attitude, silence, only silence.

Concubine Shu chatted on her own for a long time, her bad mood was almost vented, and her mood gradually improved.

Qiu Yuebai knew it well, the conversation with the concubine mother was already halfway through, and it was time to talk about his marriage next.
