Concubine, she rises step by step

Chapter 157 Didn’t you say you wouldn’t harm her?
In the Palace of Yanxi Palace, Xuan Que stood under the porch with a gloomy face, her eyes fixed on the door of the pure concubine.

Baozi walked out leisurely to pour water, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Xuan Que with ghostly eyes, and turned around and entered the room with a feeling of trembling in her heart.

"Little Master, please go in quickly. If the pure concubine empress sees you like this, I'm afraid she will start to argue again." Xiuling knew that the little master had been unhappy ever since she found out that Ning Guiren's body had been damaged, and she didn't want to He dared to confront the pure concubine openly and just expressed his displeasure in a low voice.

But even Xiuling knew that this matter should not be done, so how could Xuan Que not know, she was just expressing her dissatisfaction in her own way.

Baozi entered the room, saw that the empress was doing her makeup, quickly took the comb from the hand of the maid, combed the concubine's hair little by little, and complained a little bit: "Empress, Xuan Chang is looking at this side like a ghost, servant girl They all feel terrified."

The pure concubine didn't care, she said calmly, "Let her go."

Baozi was very puzzled, "Ma'am, why are we afraid of her?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's not necessary." Chunbi looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She was very satisfied and asked casually: "When will the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs come over?"

Baozi replied: "She should be here soon."

The pure concubine raised her eyebrows slightly, "Well, okay, let's go out for a walk."

Baozi followed, not understanding what the empress meant.

The extremely gloomy Xuan Que saw Chun Concubine walking out with a happy face, so she went up to meet her.

"What? Are you waiting for me?" Chun Concubine's eyebrows slightly fell on Xuan Que.

Xuan Que stared at Chun Concubine in disregard of etiquette, and asked: "Why do you want to move Zi Ning?"

Baozi couldn't see it, and squinted at Xuan Que, "Xuan Chang is here, have you forgotten the etiquette?"

The pure concubine signaled that Baozi was fine, then slowly looked at Xuan Que, sized her up innocently and said, "I really don't understand what Xuan Chang is saying here."

Xuan Que was overwhelmed by Chun Concubine's indifferent tone, "You said you wouldn't touch her! You will suffer retribution!"

"Slap!" Xuan Que was unexpectedly slapped by Concubine Chun, and it was at this time that Xuan Que realized what to say.

At this time, the pure concubine's face was serious, "Xuan Que, you'd better tell clearly what your identity is in this palace! Also, I'm afraid that you will come faster than me for the matter of retribution, don't forget Now, who locked it in Zhongcui Palace..."

Xuan Que looked at Chun Concubine in shock, she didn't expect Chun Concubine to refute her so much, she shook her head in disbelief and said, "You—you—"

Concubine Chun patted the dust on her body, "If you still want to live well in the palace, just keep your mouth shut!"

Xuanque looked at the pure concubine who seemed to have changed. She felt like a joke. Why did she think she could control the pure concubine? Just because she could stand firm in the palace of sinister people. , she should have realized that being a pure concubine is not simple, but she did not agree with what Sheng Yi and Zi Ning said. She felt that they saw her too clearly. In this way, she saw clearly, but unfortunately, it was too late...

Coincidentally, Sun Yan from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came in with something bestowed by the emperor.

"Slave salutes the pure concubine! Greetings to Xuan Changzai!" Sun Yan saluted happily.

The pure concubine immediately changed into a soft expression, "Eunuch Sun, why are you here?"

Sun Yan bowed and replied: "Go back to your mother, the emperor said that it is the New Year's Eve now, and because of the disaster at Xiangshan Temple, the palace stopped giving rewards, so he sent servants to send the rewards to the palaces alone." Come here, no, Yanxi Palace comes first."

If it was such a coincidence, why would the pure concubine not be happy? She asked Baozi in an overbearing mood to give Sun Yan a full purse, "I'm bothering you to run back and forth during this period, just think of it as tea money."

Sun Yan understood and thanked her again and again, "Thank you, Madam Chunbi."

Later, Chunbi ordered: "Send the things to Xuan Changzai first, and wait until Xuan Changzai has finished picking them up before giving them to me. Don't be in a hurry."

Xuan Que was used to Chun Concubine's play of pretending to be a sister, so she saluted expressionlessly, "Thank you, Madam."

Sun Yan praised: "Your Majesty is really magnanimous, every time I give things to Xuan Changzai first."

Pure concubine said indifferently: "What's the matter, no matter how good things are, it's not as important as the friendship between Bengong and Xuan Changzai."

Sun Yan envied and sighed: "Your Majesty is right."

Afterwards, Sun Yan directed everyone to take the things into Xuan Que's bedroom, and on the way back, he couldn't help but promote Chun Concubine, saying how magnanimous she was and how sympathetic she was to the concubine.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager's footsteps were also moving rapidly in Wangzhongcui Palace.

"The Empress Dowager is here!" Sheng Yi, Zhang Guiren, Ning Guiren and others all knelt on the ground.

"See the Queen Mother!" everyone shouted.

When the Empress Dowager entered through the curtain, she saw all kinds of expressions on the faces of the people.

"Why did you come here? How can this body stand it?" The queen mother said, looking at Tong Zining, whose face was covered with tears.

Tong Zining's eyes were filled with the look of being unable to bear it any longer, and she said aggressively: "The concubine has trouble sleeping and eating every day, and in her dreams, she is afraid that the bad guys will harm Junti again. Lian Junti, I can't forgive this person!"

The Empress Dowager originally hoped that Tong Zining would be favored and have more children, but that was a good thing. The Emperor didn't like concubines, which directly cut off her two generals who had grandchildren.

"Don't worry, the Ai family won't let her off lightly!" the queen mother said firmly. She wanted to use this person to ease the relationship with her son, so naturally she couldn't just sit back and ignore him.

Shengyi then moved the two Guanyin statues out and said, "Queen Mother, look!"

With kind eyes, Zhixia gently opened the incense basket on the Guanyin statue's headdress, and then took out a few bright red spices from the incense basket.

The queen mother's heart sank suddenly, "Who gave this to them?"

Tong Zining said hatefully: "She is a pure concubine!"

"Pure concubine?" The queen mother did not expect that a pure concubine who was as gentle as water would have such vicious intentions, and immediately asked Mei Fen to invite the pure concubine.

"Empress Dowager, would you like to talk to the Emperor?" Sheng Yi asked softly, looking at the empress dowager's gloomy face.

"Needless to say! The Ai family has the right to handle matters in the harem!" The Queen Mother said sternly.

Sheng Yi nodded slightly, since the queen mother took the responsibility, the emperor can pretend that he didn't know, which is not a bad thing.

Tong Zining was sobbing and kept talking, "Queen Mother, today she dares to attack concubines and Yazhi, and tomorrow she will dare to attack Concubine Sheng or other concubines. She can't harm all the concubines even if she doesn't have children. What's wrong with the emperor?" Are you spreading branches and leaves for the great gold? How can you, Queen Mother, coax your grandson with pleasure?"

The empress dowager felt very uncomfortable after talking about it several times.

Zhang Yazhi has been sitting quietly on the side, looking down at the clothes made for Li Yu.

Sheng Yi's face was serious, no matter how much comfort she said at this time, it would not help the matter.

Very quickly, the pure concubine walked in with a dignified look.

Kindly mentioning the nervousness in my heart, I can't help admiring the pure concubine, she is really calm...

"The concubine pays her respects to the queen mother!" The pure concubine bowed steadily.

The Queen Mother said sternly: "Safe? The Ai family can't be safe. Do you think this is something you did?"

With that said, he showed the statue of Guanyin, the incense basket, and the spices to the pure concubine.

It's just that there was no panic or guilt or fear that everyone expected. On the contrary, Chun Concubine asked with an unclear face: "This is...?"

Tong Zining couldn't bear it any longer, pointing at the pure concubine, she cursed: "Chun concubine, you are so cruel, you actually sat down in the Guanyin statue and waited for such abusive hands and feet! Are you still human?"

Caiyue hurriedly made a gesture to pull Tong Zining, and gave her a weak support. Tong Zining's rounded palm fell firmly on the pure concubine's face, and in an instant, five fingers were red.

Caiyue couldn't help but slander, whoever told you to bully Mrs. Ning, you deserve the beating!
"Hey, hey! Zi Ning, don't do anything, just speak up if you have something to say." Sheng Yi pretended to be concerned.

The queen mother couldn't hide her hatred, "Didn't you give this Buddha statue to Zhang Guiren and Ning Guiren? The spices in it are the evidence that caused their physical loss. What else do you have to say?"

The concubine Chun came to a sudden, her brows remained unchanged and she said calmly: "This servant has never had the intention of harming sisters, please ask the Queen Mother to investigate clearly!"

"Don't quibble, you sent the things, who else is there?" Tong Zining said bitterly.

The pure concubine seemed to suddenly realize, "The concubine knows, she must have done it!"

Everyone immediately looked at Concubine Chun in unison, wanting to know who the "she" that Concubine Chun was talking about...
