Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 407 Meeting Concubine Mei for the First Time
"Who is making noise here!" A cold female voice came.Jing Ning looked up, and saw a woman in palace attire walking slowly, followed by a few palace maids, who seemed to be some concubine in the palace.

Cai Yashan turned his head away, and immediately bowed to the woman, "Ya Shan pays homage to Concubine Mei."

Jing Ning raised his eyebrows, tugged Xiao Yuan's sleeves slightly and bowed to Concubine Mei together.Jing Ning didn't have a deep impression of this Concubine Mei, but only remembered that she was the biological mother of the Fourth Prince Zhao Heng.

"It's better not to make loud noises in the palace. Although Miss Cai is the empress's niece, you still have to be careful." Concubine Mei walked in front of several people, although there was a smile on her lips, but her eyes were estranged .

Cai Yashan bit her lips when she heard the words, bowed to Concubine Mei and then walked towards the Queen's bedroom.Seeing this, Jing Ning showed a smile to Concubine Mei. Although she didn't know why, she was sure that Concubine Mei's appearance here was definitely not accidental, and she just made a special rescue for herself.

"I don't know if Concubine Mei is here, but I am really disappointed to welcome you. I hope you will forgive me." Jing Ning looked indifferent, and bowed slightly to Concubine Mei.

Concubine Mei stretched out her hand to help her up, with an amiable smile on her face, she said softly: "I heard that the young lady of the general's mansion moved to live in the palace for a while, and I was curious, so I came to have a look, didn't I disturb you?"

Jing Ning shook her head quickly when she heard the sound, she turned sideways and welcomed Concubine Mei inside.

"I have a few words that I would like to chat with Young Madam alone." Concubine Mei looked at Xiao Yuan and Wen Xing who were at the side, and the two looked at Jing Ning, Jing Ning nodded slightly, and the two retreated together, and Concubine Mei also shunned the maids around her.

"It seems that there is some misunderstanding between Young Madam and Ms. Cai, and the empress is somewhat dissatisfied with you." Concubine Mei sat in front of Jing Ning and sipped tea gracefully, seemingly casually mentioning this sentence.

Jing Ning's heart moved slightly, what Concubine Mei said directly opened the distance between herself and the queen.

"It's a bit of a misunderstanding. I hope I can explain it clearly to Ms. Cai." Jing Ning said softly.But as soon as she thought of Cai Yashan's distorted and hideous expression, she felt very discouraged, and she couldn't communicate with her at all. Almost every time, Cai Yashan was venting her emotions unilaterally, and she couldn't listen to any reasoning. In fact, Jing Ning There is no hope of turning hostility into friendship with her at all.

Concubine Mei laughed lightly when she heard the words. Although she was no longer young, the charm between her eyebrows and eyes was still there, especially the cold temperament on her body, which was even more fascinating. At this moment, her smile was as beautiful and refined as the melting ice and snow on the snow mountain.

"Although the Young Madam intends to reconcile, but looking at Miss Cai's appearance, I am afraid that this matter will be very difficult, especially since Mrs. Cai is currently ill, and Miss Cai and the Empress must be dissatisfied with the Young Madam. In case, I'm afraid this misunderstanding will be completely irresolvable."

Concubine Mei took a sip of the tea in her cup, and looked at Jing Ning with some deep meaning in her eyes.Jing Ning was puzzled, this Concubine Mei has been living in the palace all this time, yet she analyzed the matter so thoroughly, presumably she deliberately found someone to inquire about the news, and this directly shows that the misunderstanding between herself and the Queen and Cai Yashan is almost There is no solution, as if she wants to completely break with the two of them.

"I hope Empress Meifei will show you the way." Jing Ning suppressed the doubts in his heart, trying to get more words out of Meifei.

Sure enough, Concubine Mei slightly restrained her expression when she heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid Young Madam doesn't know the Empress well, although this person has a gentle face, those who offend her will generally end badly. "

Jing Ning sighed in her heart, how could she not understand, she almost choked to death on those cakes yesterday, and how could she not have other means to be the queen of a country.

"Isn't Concubine Mei afraid of causing trouble when you talk about the queen like this?"

"I have lived in this palace for so many years, does Young Madam think that there will always be no trouble between me and the queen?" Concubine Mei brushed her temples back, her eyes were indifferent, obviously she didn't care much about the queen.

Jing Ning suddenly realized that the empress and concubine Mei lived together in the harem, there must be some secrets between the two that no one else knew about, and it didn't make much difference whether they said or didn't say anything about each other's resentment, because they both knew it well in their hearts.

"It's just that I didn't think carefully enough." Jing Ning laughed at himself, with a bit of helplessness on his face.

Judging by Concubine Mei's appearance today, she wanted to involve herself in the struggle between the two of them. She didn't want to cause trouble, but it seemed that she couldn't avoid it this time.

"Young madam is a transparent person. If you offend the empress in this palace, you should also know what the consequences will be. Although the emperor will not hurt your life because of the general's mansion, the empress has thousands of ways to make you die. I don’t think the Young Madam would want to try all the means you can’t afford to die.” Concubine Mei’s eyes were a bit cold, and she didn’t hide her dislike for the queen in her words.

Jing Ning's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, she never cared about the affairs of the palace, but she could see some of the darkness in it.

"My Concubine Mei is right. According to what I see, what should I do at this time?"

Concubine Mei said so many scary things about the empress, she just wanted Jingning to find a big tree in the palace that could avoid disaster, and it was self-evident who this tree was, so Jingning followed suit .

"If a hunter wants to catch a canary, how does the young madam think that canary can get out of trouble?" Concubine Mei raised a smile on her lips, she didn't say it directly, but threw a question to Jingning.

"Kill the hunter." Jing Ning's gaze also turned cold, her face was calm, but her tone was a little low.

Concubine Mei looked at Jing Ning a little more appreciatively, and she lightly clapped her hands in applause.

"As expected of the Young Madam of the General's Mansion, since the Young Madam knows this truth, why don't you join me?" Concubine Mei smiled and poured a cup of tea for Jingning, and pushed it in front of her.

Jing Ning frowned slightly and said, "I wonder what Concubine Mei wants?" She knew that there was no such cheap thing in this world, and it was absolutely impossible for Concubine Mei to form an alliance with her for no reason. If she is weaker than herself, then the only thing Concubine Mei can do is the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion behind her.In this way, it involves the matter of the previous dynasty.

"I just want the queen's life." The smile on Concubine Mei's face disappeared, and there was a fierce murderous look between her eyebrows, as if the queen had done something that both humans and gods were angry with.Jing Ning frowned, she intuitively felt that this matter would not be so simple.If she only wanted the queen's life, she could join forces with other concubines, so why did she choose herself?

Concubine Mei also seemed to see the hesitation on Jingning's face, her thin lips parted slightly.

"Do you know my son Zhao Heng?"
