Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 56

Because of Shu Ning's directness, no one pleaded for mercy for a long time, An Pin was already desperate.So the queen let everyone go, she was afraid that if she stayed any longer, those women in the harem would tear Concubine Jia alive.Although Concubine Jia's actions put Concubine An in the dust, it also made the women in the harem wary of him.

The Queen's words were considered to have saved Concubine An once. At this moment, she no longer dared to look at Shu Ning, and even felt fearful of her in her heart. As long as she confronted Concubine Jia in the future, she would have already lost in terms of arrogance.This is the first time she has met a concubine who tore apart the words like this, and it is also the first time a concubine in the harem has spoken like this. A heinous crime.

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."

Sending off the queen, Shu Ning left behind Concubine Xian and Concubine De, sat on the shoulders, and Shu Ning directly asked them to carry her back to Changning Palace. I don't care.Forming cliques is not suitable for me, Shu Ning just wants to live in her own Changning Palace.

The unambitious concubine Jia made all the low-ranking concubines who wanted to take refuge in her run into a wall. In this way, the number of people who resented her increased without Shuning's knowledge. Everyone thought that she wanted to eat alone, so they rejected all the concubines. Isn't it because she is afraid that everyone will share her favor!

You must know that many high-ranking concubines have several low-ranking concubines who rely on them. These people usually help them with things, and when the high-ranking concubines are inconvenient, they will push them in front of the emperor and let them be favored.This is better than letting the emperor find his deadly enemy, at least the woman the emperor favors belongs to her, and there are no concubines who are cheap to oppose him.

Shuning can only sweat profusely for the thought that I can't get it and you can't get it.

"My lady, please change your clothes."

As soon as Shuning returned to Changning Palace, Mei Chun and the others appeared with more comfortable ordinary clothes.

"Mommy, no matter who comes to those concubines from now on, tell them that I'm resting." Shu Ning really didn't want to deal with those women, so she might as well avoid them to the end!This is not weakness and evasion, but why bother talking nonsense to people who don't care about them. Anyway, she doesn't depend on them for a living. As long as she serves the emperor well, she doesn't need to look at people's faces.

"Is it the same for Empress Xianfei and Empress Defei?"

Both of these two are of higher grade than the empress.

"Ah."

Shuning changed her clothes, leaned on the couch and let Mei Dong massage herself.

Head resting on hands, eyes lightly closed.

"Boss Hou, what happened to your majesty in Qifeng Palace today?"

Although Bai Momo followed Shuning's wishes and made arrangements, she still decided to ask for clarification. Today, Simei didn't follow the empress, but Hou Lin followed.

"...That's how things are. In fact, it's nothing. It's just that there has never been anyone like your empress in the palace, so the other empresses are not used to it for a while."

It's not just that I'm not used to it, it's that I was frightened by the empress.However, Hou Linke didn't think there was anything wrong with their empress's behavior. The empress status was higher than them, and her background was better than them, so why bother to accommodate them!
"Young lady, what a temper..."

Mammy didn't finish her sentence, but Hou Lin already understood the meaning.

"You don't have to worry too much, Mammy, I think it's just right for your mother, who doesn't like people with deep thoughts."

Quietly pointing to the sky.

"I see what you mean, I hope!"

Nanny shook her head and left, leaving Hou Lin to keep guarding outside with a fly whisk.

"Grandma~"

Shuning opened her eyes.

"Your Majesty, the servant is here."

"Tomorrow you will go to Quanfu Palace with me. There are so many empress dowagers in the palace, so you should also pay a visit to the empress dowager."

"Yes."

Bai Momo agreed, and then Shuning closed her eyes again.

In the afternoon, Shu Ning was playing the piano and practicing calligraphy in the study room. Today the Emperor told her that he would not come over, so it was rare for her to have free time. Shu Ning even took the embroidery shed to embroider flowers.

"My lady, what is this embroidery? It's so cute!"

Mei Xia put the jujube tea on the small table next to Shuning.

"cute?"

Shu Ning looked at the cute cat she was about to complete, and she also thought it was very cute.

"Yeah, just looking at it makes people want to touch it."

Mei Xia's heart is almost melted by its cute eyes, the empress's embroidery skills are getting better and better, and the embroidered kittens are just like the real ones.

"That's for you."

After finishing the last few stitches, Shu Ning threw the embroidery shed to Mei Xia.

"Thank you, Ma'am, for the reward."

After Mei Xia saluted, she removed the handkerchief from the embroidery shed, folded it neatly and put it in her bosom.

As for the thing that the ancients liked to put things in their bosoms, Shu Ning was a little surprised when they first saw it, and ran to Yong Ning Hou and turned over her father's chest.Of course, I only found some light and small things, and those larger ones that were inconvenient to put away were usually either put in the sleeves or wrapped in cloth.

"Place it!"

Shuning drank a cup of jujube tea, rinsed her mouth with water, and wanted to rest.

"Yes."

Mei Xia waved her hand to the outside, and a group of court ladies and eunuchs came in holding toiletries.

Putting on comfortable pajamas, Shuning lay on the bed with the quilt covering her chest.Today it is the turn of Nanny Bai, Mei Qiu, and Mei Dong to watch the night, and tomorrow it is the turn of Nanny Liu, Mei Chun, and Mei Xia to watch the night.
