After all the villains read my mind, they all came clean

Chapter 34 It’s not peaceful in the palace either
Before entering the palace, Liang Yuyu heard the emperor's hearty laughter coming from the palace.

"Really? To put it this way, I am ignorant."

"Your Majesty~" A sweet voice sounded so chilling that your whole body shivered, "I only learned about it from the sisters in the palace a few days ago. It turns out there are so many interesting stories outside the palace."

There was easily identifiable joy in the emperor's voice: "After all, I have indeed not been out of the palace for some years, and I really don't know about the new things outside the palace."

While the emperor was speaking, Shen Yuexi had already walked into the palace with Liang Yuyu in her arms.

Liang Yuyu pawed at the swaddling clothes and looked out with her round eyes. She looked around and saw the specific situation in the palace.

There are three people sitting in the hall.

The emperor and the queen were sitting on the imperial concubine's couch. Where the emperor was sitting, there was also a concubine who was dressed coquettishly, covering her lips and smiling coquettishly.

Judging from her dress, she is probably a concubine or something.

When she saw Shen Yuexi coming in, the concubine straightened her figure, raised her right hand, gently brushed her hair by her ear, and looked at Shen Yuexi with her peripheral vision.

"I have met the Emperor and the Queen." Shen Yuexi saluted respectfully.

The queen hurriedly stretched out her hand: "Mrs. Liang, get up quickly. It snowed a few days ago. It may be difficult to travel on the road. Is there anything wrong?"

The queen was dignified and generous, with a gentle voice, not at all the coquettish voice she had just now.

It seemed that the concubine next to him was the one who was talking to the emperor just now.

Without waiting for Shen Yuexi's reply, the concubine spoke again: "Queen, Madam Liang holds great power in Mr. Liang's house now, what can go wrong?"

Hearing this, Liang Yuyu's eyes widened and he glanced curiously at the concubines.

[It’s strange, why does this woman look familiar? 】

Shen Yuexi lowered her eyes, looked at the concubines with her peripheral vision, and replied in a low voice: "Thank you for your concern, Queen. There is nothing wrong."

The concubine sneered coldly, picked up the tea cup, and drank the tea sips, while sarcastically saying: "Concubine, just say it? What can go wrong?"

Liang Yuyu kept staring at the concubine, seeing her lowering her head to drink tea, and suddenly remembered that she had seen the same scene somewhere.

That day, Lady Wu came to Liang Mansion to discuss matters with Meiniang. When she woke up from her nap, she happened to see Lady Wu looking like this from the same angle!
[How come this concubine in the palace looks so similar to Lady Wu? 】

[Niangzi Wu is a member of Cen Shangshu. Isn’t this empress the same? 】

Liang Yuyu's inner voice reminded Shen Yuexi.

She frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Who is this empress?"

The corner of the queen's mouth twitched twice without any trace, she raised her hand casually and pointed at the concubine, and whispered: "No wonder Mrs. Liang doesn't recognize her. This is the emperor's new favorite a few days ago, Guiren Chen."

After saying that, the queen lowered her head and just drank tea, with an ugly look on her face, obviously dissatisfied with this noble Chen.

【Guiren Chen? 】

Liang Yuyu searched a lot in her mind and suddenly remembered who she was.

[This Chen Guiren is one of Cen Shangshu’s trump cards! 】

[Ever since she entered the palace, she has been very favored by the emperor. Her pillow whistled in the wind, causing her father-in-law to be scolded by the emperor frequently. 】

[Hey, daddy, what kind of luck is this?After just a few days of gaining favor from the emperor, Chen Guiren entered the palace.It seems that the good days of Liang Mansion are coming to an end. 】

[The most important thing is that Gui Chen and Lady Wu are biological sisters. 】【No wonder she is so resentful towards Mei Niang. It must be because she knows about Wu Niangzi's humiliation in Liang Mansion. 】

Chen Yuexi's heart trembled when she heard this, her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked at Chen Guiren again.

Although she is only a noble, she is covered in pearls and emeralds, and she looks like a concubine.

Shen Yuexi glanced at the queen from the corner of her eye.

Her eyes were slightly green, her head was drooped, and her eyes that occasionally looked at Chen Guiren were full of displeasure.

It seems that the queen is also dissatisfied with Chen Guiren entering the palace.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuexi made up her mind, raised her eyelids, and glanced around Chen Guiren: "It turns out she is a noble lady. If the queen didn't say anything, the slave family would have thought she was a concubine."

Hearing this, Chen Guiren's hand against You's ear stopped instantly.

The corners of her mouth twitched twice, and she glared at Shen Yuexi with resentment in her eyes.

Shen Yuexi's words spoke to the Queen's heart, and she sneered coldly: "Chen Guiren has received the Emperor's favor, so naturally he will get whatever he wants. Isn't it only a matter of time before he becomes the concubine?"

After saying that, the queen glanced at the emperor: "Your Majesty, is my concubine right?"

The emperor twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, squeezed out a smile, lowered his head and said nothing, but the beads in his hand were spinning rapidly.

Shen Yuexi looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "The Empress is joking. All concubines come from prominent families. Either their mother's family has contributed to the court, or they have given birth to an heir themselves. This is no joke."

The queen covered her lips, raised the corners of her lips, and sneered twice: "Mrs. Liang is a lady after all, and she always speaks and acts in a measured manner. No wonder she has a daughter who is so cute, and both the emperor and this palace like her."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand and took the initiative to hold Liang Yuyu in her arms and tease her.

The queen was happy, but Chen Guiren turned cold and gouged out Shen Yuexi's eyes angrily: "What? Mrs. Liang has not done enough to discipline Mr. Liang in the palace, and now she wants to reach out to the palace?"

She glanced at the emperor from the corner of her eye and saw that the latter was motionless. Then she had the courage to continue: "What position the emperor wants to give me, that is the emperor's final decision. How can you, a foreign woman, not have the right to talk too much?"

Liang Yuyu kicked her little feet, rubbed her head in the queen's arms, and looked at the queen with a pair of big eyes.

[Empress, take care of her quickly! 】

[A concubine, the queen has not even opened her mouth yet she still has the nerve to yell and scream, give her face, right? 】

Shen Yuexi lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, put the handkerchief to her lips, coughed twice, and then looked at Chen Guiren: "Your Majesty is right, a foreign woman from the slave family really shouldn't talk too much. Could it be that your noble family has forgotten it? What happens to the slave family again?" After all, you are a member of the important minister's family, so if you want to reprimand, it is the Queen who should speak up. I wonder where your noble status comes from to reprimand you?"

Chen Guiren's eyes suddenly widened, and his delicate and delicate face turned red instantly.

She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stared at Shen Yuexi fiercely, wishing she could poke holes in Shen Yuexi with her eyes.

The emperor, who had been silent until now, finally cleared his throat: "Okay."

He raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Guiren: "You should go back to the palace first."

Chen Guiren turned his head away for a moment and looked at the emperor in surprise: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you would like to bring your concubines with you for today's banquet?"

Snapped--

The queen put down the tea cup, and her sharp eyes immediately fell on Chen Guiren's face.

Her face was condensed, and her aura suddenly cooled down. She sneered unhappily: "What kind of occasion is today? Why do you, a noble person, attend?"
