Chunman Palace

Chapter 12
The spring is warm, and the flowers in the imperial garden are competing for splendor, and a woman shuttles gracefully among the flowers, and her gestures are all fascinating, more delicate and beautiful than the peonies in her hands.

The beauty among the flowers brightened her eyes, seeing that the red rose in the distance was even more eye-catching, so she threw the peony in her hand and reached for the rose.

"Mistress, be careful, this rose has thorns." Shuang'er beside him reminded.

She lightly said "um" without paying much attention, her thumbnail stuck to the flower stem, and with a little force on her index finger, she pinched the rose off.

At this time, a female voice with a neutral voice came out of nowhere: "Who broke the flower that Empress Min wanted?"

Hearing the sound and looking, it turned out to be Concubine Min's close maid Lu'er.

Not far away, Concubine Min was wearing a precious-colored embroidered silver plate Hannah skirt, wearing a duo ruby ​​flower nobile on her head, golden tassels swaying gently between her forehead and hair, elegant and luxurious, she seemed a little displeased.

Chang Xiuru ignored Lu'er and wanted to put roses on her head.

Concubine Min's expression was cold, and she said sarcastically: "Who should I be? It turns out that it is the newly promoted concubine Chang. Why, when Duanwu Yiwu was promoted, she was overjoyed and confused, can't tell the difference between superior and inferior? "

On the contrary, Chang Xiuru was unusually calm, stepped forward to salute, and replied blankly: "Concubine Min is worrying too much, you are so honorable, and it is a ready-made rule in this palace. Forget about honor and humility?"

Concubine Min smiled but didn't smile: "That's good, as long as Concubine Chang understands the rules, I won't care about it." After finishing speaking, she gave the maidservant next to her a look: "Go, bring that flower here."

"Yes, ma'am." Lu'er smiled knowingly, walked up to Chang Xiuru, and grabbed it with her hand.

"What are you doing!" Seeing this, Shuang'er blocked Chang Xiuru and pushed Lu'er.

Lu'er was pushed back and staggered a few steps, almost fell to the ground. As the maid next to the beloved concubine, where had she ever suffered such humiliation?
She turned her head to look at Concubine Min, feeling confident in her heart instantly, and slapped Shuang'er on the face with her backhand.

"You maidservant! You dare to disobey Concubine Min's will." Lu'er showed a smug look on her face, bumped her shoulders away from her stunned hands, and stretched out her hand towards the rose in Chang Xiuru's hand.

Chang Xiuru let go of her hand, and the rose fell to the ground.

"You!" Before Lu'er finished speaking, there was a burst of explosions on his face, and several "slaps", his whole face was hot and red and swollen instantly.

Seeing that her close maid was being humiliated, Concubine Min finally said without concealing her anger: "Concubine Chang! What do you mean?"

"Concubine Min, calm down." Chang Xiuru pulled Shuang'er behind her, and saluted with a smile, "I originally wanted to give this rose to you, but this maid is too stupid to ruin the matter of your empress, concubine I will punish you."

Concubine Min laughed angrily: "I will take care of the people around me. When is it necessary for Concubine Chang to teach me a lesson?"

Chang Xiuru wrote lightly: "That's because the concubine is troublesome. Concubine Min should punish her."

Seeing her calm expression and no fear at all, Concubine Min's rationality, which had been swept away by her anger, turned slightly.

wrong.This concubine Chang was suddenly conferred at the Midnight Banquet, not only did the dance endear him to the emperor, but also because her father had contributed to the flood control, the emperor was giving the Chang family a face.

That being the case, she can't easily touch Chang Concubine, not to mention that her father is currently powerful by the emperor's side, if she confronts Chang Concubine on the face of it, she will be the first to escape if something happens in the future.

Concubine Min smirked and said: "Forget it, it seems that my servant is indeed stupid, making Concubine Chang laugh."

Chang Xiuru had a deep smile in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised, "Actually, it's not entirely the fault of the servants around the empress." She lifted her foot to the rose on the ground and crushed it vigorously, "It's better to blame this flower It’s flirtatious, what a shame.”

She no longer cared about it, this Concubine Chang wanted to disgust her so much, Concubine Min felt speechless.

Don't you want to give yourself a blow?It's ridiculous.She was full of anger in her heart, but she couldn't show it in the open, and her complexion was ugly.

Concubine Min pulled the corners of her lips stiffly, "Yes, it's fine to ruin it like this, Lu'er, let's go." She picked up the wind of her clothes and left angrily.

Seeing her walking away, Chang Xiuru let out a cold snort of disdain, then turned around and asked Shuang'er: "How's your face? Go back and apply it with eggs."

Shuang'er was moved to tears: "Thank you, my servant, for your concern, it doesn't hurt much anymore."

Seeing her court lady being so cowardly, Chang Xiuru felt a little resentful and said: "You too, why are you so unbelievable and let that thing beat you?"

Shuang'er said with a look of panic: "But, but she is the most capable maid beside Concubine Min."

Chang Xiuru said disdainfully: "So what, now you are the most powerful by my side, whoever bullies you, you don't have to be polite."

"Yes, the servant knows."

"Okay, I should tell Sister Mu about my concubine, after all, the sisterhood for many years is here." She looked down at the rose that had been trampled into the mud, feeling angry for no reason, and kicked it in. Cong Li.

On the way to Fujingxuan, Chang Xiuru suddenly saw a tender brown figure, which was familiar, so she quickened her pace and walked forward, and said loudly: "Stop."

The man turned around when he heard the words, saw that it was Chang Xiuru, and saluted humbly: "Promise that Mrs. Lin has met Chang Guiren, please greet Chang Guiren."

Chang Xiuru walked up to Lin Qingyu like the wind, frowning and glaring.

She didn't understand what Chang Xiuru meant, so she had to lower her head to avoid the sharp knife-like gaze.

Shuang'er followed up and said: "Lin promised, our mother is now a concubine! You should pay more respects."

What?Concubine in just one night?
Lin Qingyu's eyes suddenly showed shock, and then he saluted in fear: "Promise Lin to greet Chang Concubine, please forgive Chang Concubine."

Chang Xiuru mocked slowly: "Shuang'er, it's no wonder that Lin promised. She lives in the lowest ranks and the gate of the palace is closed every day. It's understandable that news from the palace can't reach her."

These words were full of insults, but because of her low status, she could only accept it silently.

Lin Qingyu said forbearance: "What the concubine taught me is that the concubine obeys the teaching. It's just... the concubine still has important things to do now."

Chang Xiuru looked casually at the bracelet on her wrist, and said lightly: "Oh? If Lin promised to go back to the palace, he would leave on his own, but if he went to Fujingxuan, I advise you to stop here."

Lin Qingyu nodded, then bowed and withdrew.

She was still on her way to Fu Jingxuan.

Seeing that Lin Qingyu turned a deaf ear to what she said, Chang Xiuru couldn't help but stepped forward to block the way, and said sharply: "You don't listen to what I say, do you? From now on, don't go to see Sister Mu again!"

Lin Qingyu looked at Chang Xiuru timidly, but hesitated to speak.

Chang Xiuru thought she was provoking herself, so she pinched Lin Qingyu's arm hard, and reprimanded her with wide eyes: "What are you doing staring at Ben Gong?! Let me tell you, I've had enough of your lowly hoofs, and you will too. Befriend Sister Mu? Don't look at how humble I am!"

Lin Qingyu groaned in pain, lowered her head, bit her lip and wept.

Seeing her painful expression, Chang Xiuru looked very satisfied, gave her a blank look, and walked away leisurely.
