Houmen's step-wife

483 Chapter Strike (1)
"Qiu Qing, what are you thinking?" Another court lady who was about her age, sweet-looking, with two small dimples couldn't help asking when she saw that she was in a daze.

Song Qiuqing glanced at her, shook her head with a smile and said, "It's nothing, Lan Zhu, what's the matter with you?"

The palace maid named Lan Zhu showed a trace of melancholy on her face, and sighed, "I'm just homesick and want to talk to someone."

These court ladies are candidates for concubines. For the time being, they don't need to do sundries like other court ladies. They only need to learn to read and learn rules and etiquette every day. Therefore, they have more time and are much better than other court ladies.

"Homesick?" Song Qiuqing was taken aback, "You just came here, why are you homesick? Isn't it good to stay in the palace?"

"It's not bad, it's just that I feel hopeless." Lanzhu said listlessly, "It's been several days, and there is no news, and no one has been selected to serve as bed attendant, as if we have all been forgotten. , we might as well be ordinary court ladies and wait until we are 23 to be released!"

If she becomes the emperor's concubine, even if she is only the lowest lady, she will not be able to leave the palace in the future, no matter whether she has a bed attendant or not.

Song Qiuqing pursed her lips when she heard the words, and said, "What stupid things are you talking about? It's only been a few days, why are you in a hurry? Besides, we are still young and can afford to wait!"

She couldn't believe that they would always be like this.

Moreover, she will not be like them, who only knows to wait foolishly!
She did not enter the palace as a display in the harem.

"That's true." Lan Zhu couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, a pair of small dimples on her lips were very charming.

But at the next moment, as if she suddenly thought of something, she immediately stopped laughing, looked around like a thief, and seeing that there was no one else, she leaned into her ear and whispered: "Sister Song, I heard It is said that the imperial concubine is very domineering and jealous, and she does not allow her majesty to favor other concubines at all, causing the entire harem to complain. Even those concubines, she treats them like this, do you think she will allow your majesty to summon us?"

Song Qiuqing's eyebrows twitched when she heard the words, and said in a cold voice: "Stop talking nonsense! Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Even if the imperial concubine is favored again, do you still dare to control your majesty?"

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Lan Zhu said anxiously: "I'm not talking nonsense. I found out after a lot of effort. All the old people in the palace know about it, but they don't want to say anything about the imperial concubine."

Those old maids are extremely grateful to the imperial concubine, wishing that the imperial concubine will always be favored!How can you say that she is not?Not even in private.Even among these newly entered palace ladies, which one is not grateful to the imperial concubine?

This is because she spent some money and tried her best to dig out such a little news from the maids serving in the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Song Qiuqing bit her lip.No wonder His Majesty has always favored the imperial concubine and never even glanced at anyone else. It turns out that the root cause is here.

If so, what should she do?
Now that the imperial concubine is covering the sky with one hand in the harem, even if she succeeds in sleeping, the imperial concubine will probably not let her go.

She used to have a good impression of the imperial concubine, but after knowing the news, the affection was instantly extinguished.

How can such a vicious and domineering person deserve to be an imperial concubine!

What's more, being so jealous is really against women's morals, not to mention, she is so rebellious that even His Majesty dares to restrain her, why hasn't His Majesty dealt with her?

"With the imperial concubine here, I think we will never have any hope of being favored." Lan Zhu said with a sigh.

However, this incident not only did not hit Song Qiuqing, but instead aroused her fighting spirit. She straightened her back and said to Lan Zhu firmly: "Don't be discouraged, the imperial concubine can't be favored forever. She is so Being arrogant and domineering will sooner or later lead to bitter consequences, His Majesty will not tolerate her all the time, as long as we wait patiently, there will always be a chance. Moreover, there are the Queen Mother and Empress Dowager, I do not believe that they are indifferent to this."

The queen mother and the others are not dealing with the imperial concubine now, maybe they are just avoiding the edge temporarily.

Lanzhu's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she nodded, and she showed her trademark sweet smile again, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Song."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Song Qiuqing seriously and said, "If I am favored in the future, I will definitely not forget Sister Song."

"Then I will thank my sister first." Song Qiuqing said with a smile, but she was thinking in her heart that it is not certain who will be favored first!

However, she would not push Lan Zhu's overtures.

Lanzhu sighed, pouted and said, "At first, I thought the imperial concubine was a good person! She was so kind to the maid, and suggested that His Majesty release the maid, thinking that she must be good to us. I still wanted to enter the palace. Afterwards, the imperial concubine would pull us a hand and persuade His Majesty to share the rain and dew and promote our status, so I still admire her very much in my heart, but I didn't expect it to be a jealous..."

"Hush—" Before she finished speaking, Song Qiuqing covered her mouth, "This is the imperial palace, be careful that the walls have ears."

Seeing Lan Zhu nodded, Song Qiuqing let her go, sighed and said, "You have to be more careful with what you say, and don't say such disrespectful words in the future. If someone overhears you, no one can save you."

Lan Zhu stuck out her tongue mischievously, patted her chest and said with some fear, "I will definitely pay attention in the future."

"That's right." Song Qiuqing smiled.

However, at this moment, the father-in-law of Qinzheng Hall suddenly came to deliver a message.

Song Qiuqing and Lan Zhu looked at each other, and they both saw the excitement in each other's eyes, and they left the room together and went to the courtyard.

After a while, fifty beautiful girls gathered in the courtyard. Their immature and beautiful faces showed a trace of nervousness and apprehension, but more excitement, joy and longing——

These are people close to the emperor, does His Majesty want to summon them?
"Is everyone here?" The young father-in-law glanced at them casually, with a contemptuous attitude, obviously not paying attention to these people.

"Eunuch Liu, we're all here." Said an elderly official who taught the maids.

Eunuch Liu nodded, pointed to the two casually, and said, "Both of you, come with our house!"

And the two people he was referring to were Song Qiuqing and Lan Zhu.

Song Qiuqing and Lan Zhu, who were selected, were so excited that they couldn't even believe that they had such good luck.But they still reacted quickly, suppressed the excitement in their hearts, walked out under the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, and stood in front of Eunuch Liu.

Eunuch Liu looked the two of them up and down with critical eyes, and then he smiled, but it was a superficial smile, which made people feel uncomfortable.
