Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Concubine Xian was a little silent and didn't speak for a while.

In a few more hours, the dinner party will start, what did Concubine Li choose to come here at this time?
When she and Concubine Duan teamed up to bully Concubine Li earlier, her face was already torn, and Concubine Li must have no good intentions in doing this.

Si Deng saw that she had been thinking for a long time, so he couldn't help calling softly to remind, "Your Majesty?"

"See," Concubine Xian took a deep breath, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but there was no smile on her face, "Why don't you see me? Everyone has arrived at Zhongcui Palace. If you don't see me behind closed doors on the site of this palace, Wouldn't it make her think that Ben Gong is afraid?"

"clear."

The lantern made a reply, and immediately went out the door.

Concubine Xian instructed Yin Xia who was at the side, "Go and prepare a cup of tea, it's rare for a guest to come, so please entertain me."

Yin Xia: "Yes."

After a quarter of an hour, voices gradually rose in the yard.

Si Deng led the way in front, while Nan Zhen put her hands behind her back and observed the surrounding scene with great interest.

"As expected of the Zhongcui Palace, the residence of the Concubine Xian is very good, every plant and tree is exquisite, did you hire a skilled craftsman to carve it?"

Si Deng said politely, "Miss Li-pin was joking, these are all made by my mistress little by little."

Nan Zhen raised her eyebrows, quite surprised, "Ms. Xianfei still has such thoughts?"

Si Deng smiled and didn't speak, but just glanced calmly at A Jing who was falling behind, and a different emotion flashed in his eyes.

The maid guarding the gate only said that there were two people. She thought it was Concubine Li who brought Dongyue, but she didn't expect it to be Ah Jing.

The empress is right, but the visitor is not kind...

After all, she was going to the banquet with Nan Zhen, so she couldn't be too conspicuous, so Ah Jing asked Dongyue to dress herself up in a court lady's attire, her hair was well tied up, and she walked obediently behind Nan Zhen.

But her honesty is limited to not being harsh, not using hands, but she is not as silent as other court ladies.

A pair of round eyes floated around, never stopping from the moment they entered the door.

Si Deng was a little dissatisfied, and looked at her several times, but A Jing stared back at her.

It's just a matter of saying "don't worry about my wife".

Si Deng temporarily suppressed the unknown anger in his heart, and said to Nan Zhen, "Miss Li, we are here."

"It's work."

Nan Zhen nodded slightly, looked at the majestic and solemn hall in front of her, and walked in.

Concubine Xian was sitting at the top drinking tea, knowing that she had entered the threshold, she did not pretend to be invisible like before, "Concubine Li is here, sit down."

She pointed to a place below, where a cup of tea was already set on the table, "This tea was sent by my grandmother, not a tribute tea. It may not be as good as what you usually drink, but the output is not much, so it is also a tea." Top grade, Concubine Li try it and see if you like it."

"Young lady is polite."

Nan Zhen immediately sat down, lifted the lid of the cup and took a sip, but she didn't rush to drink, she just said, "It smells very refreshing."

"I haven't been very energetic these days. It's very good to drink this tea. If you like it, you can take some away later."

Nan Zhen smiled, "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness, but there's no need, I don't have much taste for tea, so it's a waste for me."

When Nan Zhen held the tea in her hand, Ah Jing took the opportunity to look at it, and whispered to her that it was okay.

These virtuous concubines looked at it calmly, and seeing that Concubine Li hadn't eaten for a long time, they asked, "Why don't you drink it, for fear that I will poison it?"

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and if she looked carefully, she could discern some sarcasm from it.

Nan Zhen didn't let her stir up her emotions, her fingertips wandered around the cup, "Your Majesty won't."

"Oh?" Concubine Xian felt the novelty, and looked at her with her chin, "Could it be that in your eyes, I am a good person."

"Whether the empress is a good person, I don't know; but I know, the empress must be a smart person."

As Nan Zhen spoke, she stared at her and slowly poured the tea into her mouth.

The first taste is smooth, the aftertaste is sweet, and it has a cool taste.

She didn't hide it when she came to Zhongcui Palace, especially since the dinner party was about to start, she met many court ladies and eunuchs preparing banquet utensils along the way.

If something happened to her at this time, Concubine Xian would not be able to get rid of the responsibility, and Concubine Xian would be able to kill herself without her taking action at that time.

Anyone with a little brain would not do this.

"Smart, smart, human," Concubine Xian paused every word, "Thanks for your compliment."

After speaking, he held his tea and drank it.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and Concubine Xian suddenly asked Yin Xia, "What time is it?"

"Go back to your mother, it's already Shen Shizhong."

"So fast?" She was a little surprised, then looked at the people below, and finally got to the point, "It's only two hours before the dinner party, so Li Concubine's coming here at this time shouldn't be as simple as just strolling around?"

Nan Zhen: "There is indeed something I want to talk to your empress about."

"Talk about what?"

Nan Zhen: "I thought the empress knew."

Concubine Xian sneered, and said calmly, "If you don't tell me, how would I know?"

At this time, it is better than anyone else's concentration.

At the same time, Concubine Xian also took a chance from it.

Ruo Lipin really came here for the private meeting between her and Prince Chen, explaining that she has what she wants here, both are equally important.

In other words, the presence of Concubine Li here meant that she didn't want to expose this matter, and she was safe.

After saying that, I saw Nan Zhen staring at me with a smile that was not a smile, "If you don't know, why did you send someone to stare at me after seeing you in the Royal Garden two days ago?"

Concubine Xian paused with her hand on the cup, turned her head to look at Si Deng, her expression didn't change much, but Si Deng has been by her side all year round, how could she not see the meaning of dissatisfaction?
She knew that Concubine Li had kung fu, so the people sent to the cold palace were all very skilled, but she was still discovered unexpectedly.

Nan Zhen saw both master and servant's reactions, and she didn't reveal anything, just quietly waiting for the other party's answer.

Concubine Xian stared at her for a long time, her heart turned a thousand times, and finally asked, "What do you want?"

Seeing that the other party started talking, Nan Zhen nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty also knows that I am in the cold palace and have no real power in my hands. I can't talk about many things, and I am not a person who is good at pouring out my grievances to others. I have to take some anger."

"You and Concubine Duan work together to manage the harem, and the rest of the beauties will depend on you two, and I am no exception."

If these words were said a year ago, Concubine Xian would have believed them, but now when Nan Zhen said them, she just wanted to sneer.

It is true that she and Concubine Duan share the power, but it is absolutely impossible to say who can give Nan Zhen anger.

Nan Zhen would be Amitabha if she didn't piss others off.

"Concubine Duan has made things difficult for you recently?" she asked.

Nan Zhen shook her head, "That's not true, but she made things difficult for my maid."

Concubine Xian: "..."

Before Ah Jing came, there were only Nan Zhen and Dongyue in the palace, and Dongyue was responsible for all the clothes, food, decorations, etc. on weekdays.

Concubine Duan and others dare not make things difficult for her face to face, but they always make things difficult for Dong Yueduo behind their backs.
