"Haha, you have such a arrogant tone, and you dare to say that the pear blossom makeup in ancient books is the same, but you don't know that you are just imitating others and laughing off other people's teeth."

Seeing Concubine Rong's provocative words again and again, Dou Lianyi took a deep breath. Thinking of the person under the eaves, he finally endured it and responded kindly: "If Concubine Rong is also interested, Lianyi will do his best to put on makeup for you, Concubine Rong." .”

However, Concubine Rong didn't even look at Dou Lianyi, and sneered slightly: "I don't dare to act like this. Who in this harem dares to go beyond the empress? Otherwise, Miss Dou's great ability should be used on the empress first." After all, I heard that the emperor has not been to Fengyi Palace for a long time. If Miss Dou’s hands can transform decay into magic, wouldn’t that be a good thing for the Queen?"

After saying that, Concubine Rong glanced at the Queen specifically, and the corners of her mouth curled up proudly.

Immediately, the voices in the entire pavilion stopped.

No one dared to speak.

Even Dou Lianyi felt a little cold sweat on her back.

She didn't expect Concubine Rong to be so arrogant and say such treasonous words in front of the Queen.

What's worse is that this incident also involves her.

If she was careless in how she responded to her words, she would be in trouble in a matter of minutes.

Thinking of this, Dou Lianyi unconsciously looked at the Queen.

She found that no matter how generous and nurturing the Queen was, she was still a little embarrassed after hearing Concubine Rong's words, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Seeing this, Dou Lianyi lowered his eyes, and after thinking carefully, he stood up, saluted Concubine Rong, and said respectfully: "Concubine Rong is so complimentary. Lianyi just read a few more ancient books, and it's not as good as before." The skillful hands of the painter in the palace who painted you, Concubine Rong."

Concubine Rong's face changed slightly, and her pretty face suddenly turned gloomy. Her affectionate eyes burst out with domineering power as she stared at Dou Lianyi without saying a word.

It was the eldest princess who told Dou Lianyi at that time, saying that according to Concubine Rong's family background, she was not very popular with the Queen Mother, but during the draft, Concubine Rong secretly stuffed a lot of gold into the painter, and deliberately asked the painter to paint her in such a beautiful way. She was so beautiful that she attracted the emperor's attention.

However, from then on, the favored Concubine Rong no longer allowed any more painters in the palace to paint portraits of the show girls.

Although this matter is not a secret, no one has ever dared to mention it in front of Concubine Rong.

However, Dou Lianyi was not afraid, but continued to say word by word: "As for the theory of turning decay into magic, it is even more untenable, because in Lianyi's view, the Queen is already the beauty of the country, the mother of the world, otherwise how can she be a Go to the Queen? If Concubine Rong calls this rotten, wouldn’t it mean that she is questioning the Emperor’s gaze in public?”

Hearing this, Concubine Rong slammed the wine glass in her hand on the table, and glanced sharply at Dou Lianyi.

"You are such a sharp-tongued person, but I have underestimated you!"

Concubine Rong's sudden anger frightened all the maids and eunuchs to the point where they all knelt down and did not dare to express their anger.

Her voice was originally charming, but now it sounded like a shiver on the back, as if an unspeakable danger was about to strike.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong, said something serious. Lianyi didn't mean to disrespect you, she just told the truth."

Dou Lianyi responded unhurriedly, although she was trembling a little in her heart, but if she gave in now, she would not get any good results. She might as well face it head on, and maybe there would be a chance of survival.

"Tell me the truth. You are just a low-status county lady. How dare you talk to me like this? Are you tired of living?"

Concubine Rong sneered, making it clear that she wanted to use her identity to suppress Dou Lianyi.

Seeing that no one dared to speak after this, Concubine Rong's face became even more proud. She waved her hand casually and said, "Come here, drag down this Dou family who dares to do something wrong. Well, I'll give you thirty blows." Be a warning to others." Dou Lianyi was suddenly shocked, and for a moment she didn't know what she should do to avoid this disaster.

She didn't know that Concubine Rong was so cruel and could be so arbitrary with just a raise of her hands.

"stop!"

Just when several palace officials came up to pull Dou Lianyi down, the empress, who had always been kind and honest, finally got angry.

She frowned, her voice not loud but her words clear.

"What does it mean to be superior? Could it be that the East Palace now regards you as the superior, Concubine Rong, and everyone else as inferior?"

Concubine Rong was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had never been so severely reprimanded by the queen before, and her face was slightly ugly.

The queen had also been accumulating anger for a long time, and she just took this opportunity to vent it out.

"I have always felt that if everyone in the harem gets along harmoniously, the emperor will have less to worry about. But now it seems that I have given in over and over again, causing some people to become arrogant!"

At this time, the sky outside was getting dark, and dark clouds covered the originally bright full moon. It seemed that another heavy snowfall was about to fall.

I don't know when the wind started to blow, so that all the concubines couldn't help but hug their outer clothes tightly. The musicians also stopped playing and retreated quietly.

All this is like a sign of the coming storm.

But after a moment of stalemate, Concubine Rong burst out laughing, waved her hands as if nothing had happened, and said calmly: "Why is the Queen so angry? If you want to protect Miss Dou, then do so." , I am feeling tired, so I will go back first."

She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "After all, the emperor may come to see me later."

After that, Concubine Rong didn't care about the different expressions on the faces of the other concubines. She stood up and bowed to the queen, then turned around and left.

She had such arrogance written on her face that the other concubines dared not speak out.

However, the queen just shook her head helplessly and said nothing more, as if she was used to it.

He even comforted Dou Lianyi apologetically: "Concubine Rong has always been like this. She is not deliberately targeting you. You don't have to take it to heart."

"The Queen is kind and generous, and she is a role model for Lianyi."

Dou Lianyi quickly stood up and responded politely, but she was even more wary of the changes in the harem.

However, it was unexpected that when she helped the Queen to rescue her this time, she unintentionally offended Concubine Rong.

After the banquet that night, Dou Lianyi was about to take Yuzhu out of the palace, but when he walked out a few steps, he was stopped by a familiar eunuch with a sharp voice.

"Miss Dou, please stay."

"I wonder who this father-in-law is?"

Dou Lianyi paused in confusion, feeling as if she had seen him somewhere.
