The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 115: A Miscalculation (2)
Concubine Shu casually shook the handkerchief in her hand, looked the queen up and down, then took a step forward provocatively, raised her chin slightly and met the queen's gaze coldly, her face was full of sarcasm, "So what? , do you have to bother the empress to bother about the matters of the Shen family? No wonder the emperor and the empress are always difficult to get along with each other. Are you going to the front court?"

Her words were like knives piercing people's hearts, Qingchen was a little puzzled, even if Concubine Shu won the favor again, it is disrespectful to mock the queen so blatantly, the queen has every legitimate reason to punish her, how could she not hesitate at all ?
She wondered in her heart, fearing that there might be some trap waiting for her, and thought that since the queen was there, it would be better for her not to talk too much, how could she interrupt the confrontation between these two at will?Besides, after the conversation just now, she was really disappointed in the Queen. Such a narrow-minded person is really not worth her risk to help.

No matter how good-natured a person is, he can't hold back Concubine Shu's ridicule and disdain, let alone the queen who is the lord of the harem?Patience also has a limit. The queen's face darkened, and her tone was a bit threatening, "Did Concubine Shu come here today to find bad luck for me? Could it be that I haven't stayed in the cold palace enough, and I still want to go back for a few more days?" A clear day?"

Concubine Shu was not afraid of the empress's attitude at all, she had a cold-eyed smile on her face, and she was still unrelenting, "I always like to be lively, and I still like to spend my days with the emperor in Qionghua Palace. The emperor sleeps next to the concubines, and the concubines can wake up with laughter from their dreams. The Chengkun Palace of the empress is clean enough, but what is the difference between a woman without her husband's favor and living in a cold palace?"

Every word was like being tortured, the queen's face was purple with anger, her sleeves were trembling constantly, but after all, she suppressed her anger and didn't want to lose her identity, so she snorted coldly and said: "This palace is the queen of the main palace, so it is natural to be tolerant. How can I compete with concubines for favor? It is my responsibility to help the emperor manage the harem well. Only those concubines who love to be jealous will fight for favor by any means in order to consolidate their status. I have nothing to worry about. Naturally, I don’t bother to argue with others.”

"The concubine will see how generous the empress can be. Don't just think of today's insincere words and regret them when you are in danger." Her eyes fell on Qingchen who was beside the empress inadvertently. He just stood there without making a sound, glanced at her contemptuously, and still sneered at the queen: "I am in a good mood today, so I don't care about it with you. The queen made way, let the concubine go over?"

When the queen heard that, the expression on her face turned distorted for a moment. If she is the majestic mother of a country, if she makes way for a concubine, what is her prestige?Immediately, she said in a deep voice: "Ben Gong is going back too, is Concubine Shu planning to block Ben Gong's way all the time?"

Concubine Shu's voice was lazy and haughty, she still looked at the queen with that provocative look and said in a loud voice: "The empress let the concubine go first, the concubine's affairs are more important, anyway, the queen's return to the palace is just to drink Raising tea and raising flowers and plants is just a waste of time, concubines don’t have that much free time, if the important matters of the concubines are delayed, even if the queen is the mother of a country, she can’t seem to be able to take care of it.”

The queen was momentarily at a loss for words, her face turned blue with anger, she stood there refusing to give in, but she didn't know what to do.

Seeing the empress being humiliated, Zheyue reprimanded sharply: "Bold Concubine Shu, you actually don't know how to back off after seeing the empress, have you even forgotten the minimum palace rules and etiquette?"
