Qian Jiujiu naturally noticed the measuring gaze of these people. She glanced at the empress, "Empress, this is my daughter-in-law."She had only said that this was her daughter-in-law, but she did not say that this was her daughter-in-law, Qian Yuge.
But the crowd understood, and they were all a little surprised. Consort Xian was the woman who had just mocked Qing Guifei, and she had even opened her mouth once more. "So this is the capital"s number one beauty?"
"Why do I feel like your reputation is outrageous? Lift your head up. "The corner of Qing Guifei"s mouth quirked up in a mocking smile. "Little sister Consort Xian, this Empress has yet to speak. Isn"t it a little outrageous for you to look down on the Empress again and again?"
Consort Xian"s expression was a bit ugly, and the gaze she looked at Qing Guifei with was also extremely unkind. It was just that Qing Guifei did not put it in her eyes at all, and only looked at the Empress.
As for Qian Jiujiu, she kept her head down. She also knew the woman who had been talking the entire time. At least, she had seen the portrait.One of the four imperial concubines, had become a Consort Xian because she gave birth to the Third Prince, and because her son was too precious, she had become one of the four imperial concubines.
As for the current empress, she had two sons with her. It was a pity that her luck was not good and the First Prince died early. The Fifth Prince was also a fool, so the empress"s position in the palace had always been very awkward.
With the Consort Xian who had never really taken the empress seriously, and the esteemed Qing Guifei who had a status close to that of the empress, his days were not that easy either.Thinking about it, a look of sympathy flashed across Qian Jiujiu"s face, but she quickly became depressed. What"s wrong with the Queen, why didn"t you wake her up?
And it was also because of Qing Guifei"s words that brought forth Consort Xian. Since he didn"t dare speak for the time being, the main hall quietened down. After a long while, Qian Jiujiu finally heard the Empress"s voice.
"Princess Xiao, get up."
Only then did Qian Jiujiu heave a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Empress."After thanking her, Qian Jiujiu stood up. However, he didn"t know where to go; after all, there were all the concubines here, so there was naturally no place for her to sit.
But if she was to stand, her Royal Concubine"s rank was also at the first rank, higher than most of the beauties here. Just as Qian Jiujiu was hesitating, Qing Guifei spoke out.
"Princess Xiao, stand by my side."
Qian Jiujiu then walked to Qing Guifei"s side, but Consort Xian snorted: "It seems that Imperial Concubine Sis is very satisfied with Princess Xiao."
"That"s true. With the current situation in the Xiao Prince, if someone is willing to marry him, they would naturally have to serve him like a treasure."
Although they did not love Mu Yexiao, they were still partners. Furthermore, Mu Yexiao was not a bad person.
So Qian Jiujiu was a little angry, but the other party had an important ident.i.ty. Furthermore, she was an elder, so she could not refute him. They could only feel depressed in their hearts, while Qian Jiujiu felt sad.In truth, Mu Yexiao was a good person. Just thinking about how he would have a bunch of young wives in the future, Qian Jiujiu felt gooseb.u.mps all over her body.
Qing Guifei was also furious in his heart, but he would not do such a shameless thing in public. He only extended his hand to grab Qian Jiujiu"s hand.
He spoke slowly, "Of course I am satisfied with this daughter-in-law of mine. Xiao Prince is also very satisfied with this daughter-in-law of mine. I just don"t know if Third Prince will be able to find such a satisfied imperial concubine in the future."
Seeing that the relationship between the two of them was really close, a look of doubt flashed across Consort Xian"s eyes.The woman in front of him was clearly not the number one beauty in the capital, yet she was still so closely protecting him. She even said that she was satisfied, but with a single glance she could tell that she was lying.
This hypocritical woman, even though Consort Xian was enraged, she did not dare reveal Qian Jiujiu"s ident.i.ty. She looked at Qian Jiujiu and Qing Guifei as if she was spitting poison out of her eyes.The empress, on the other hand, smiled and stepped forward to smooth things over. "Alright, since little sister pays her respects as well, then let"s part ways if there"s nothing else."
Qian Jiujiu was speechless, was she going to leave just like that? Actually, Qian Jiujiu didn"t know that the battle in the harem had already reached its peak.Everyday, the empress would gather these people and listen to a few words between Consort Xian and Qing Guifei before letting them go. In the morning, it was as if she was watching a big show for free.
Just as the group of people were about to stand up and bow before leaving, they realized that the usually very honest Yunfei was actually sitting there and staring straight at Qing Guifei.
Since everyone had stood up and only she was still sitting, it was naturally very eye-catching. Furthermore, the relationship between Yunfei and the empress had always been good, so she was very obedient.
Everyone had no other thoughts as the empress coughed twice. "Yunfei, what are you looking at?"
When the Yunfei heard someone call her, she suddenly came back to her senses. Seeing that everyone had stood up, she stood up as well and lowered her head, looking extremely submissive."Reporting to the Empress, chenqie is looking at Empress Qing Guifei. She seems to be exceptionally beautiful today."
Qing Guifei blinked his eyes. Actually, when she first came in, these people had already noticed his. It was just that they did not praise her face to face.
And because Qian Jiujiu was attacked by the Consort Xian, her makeup was ignored today, so she would probably go to her palace in private to ask about it.
She just did not expect that when they were about to disperse, they would be brought up by the Yunfei. As expected, everyone"s thoughts returned, even the empress was moved by Qing Guifei"s makeup today.
After all, none of the women didn"t want to make themselves more beautiful, let alone the women from the imperial harem.
Consort Xian let out a cold snort, because she knew Qing Guifei would definitely not tell her. However, she did not say anything and did not prepare to leave.
After all, hearing the source of this good stuff, it wasn"t bad. Who knows, she might even be able to get some!
The Empress looked at the eyes of the crowd and knew that they all wanted to know. She then smiled and looked at Qing Guifei, "I"ll tell you this, Little Sister Qing looks very different today."
"I wonder where little sister went to find something good?"
When Qing Guifei heard that it was the Queen asking questions, no matter what, he still had to be respectful in general. "In reply to the Empress, this is what your concubine"s daughter-in-law has called."
"Empress, look! Isn"t chenqie"s face smoother than before? She"s only used it once, and the results are already so good." My daughter-in-law did say that. ""If I keep using it, it"ll only get more and more beautiful!"
When all the consorts heard this, they turned their gazes towards Qian Jiujiu. Some of the more daring ones couldn"t help but ask, "I wonder where Princess Xiao obtained such a beautiful saint artifact?"
Qian Jiujiu was startled for a moment. The beautiful saint artifact was indeed a good saying, but where did it come from? Qian Jiujiu glanced at Qing Guifei, and the corners of her mouth rose."Just tell me the truth."
Only now did Qian Jiujiu remember that when Qing Guifei came in, he had directly introduced her as his daughter-in-law. He was the princess of the Xiao Prince, but she had never said that she was Qian Yuge.
In that moment, Qian Jiujiu suddenly understood, that this mother and son pair did not plan to hide this matter from him, right?Furthermore, he had to openly push her out. After thinking about this, Qian Jiujiu suddenly felt at ease. After all, he had to live under another person"s name.
That was hateful, not to mention that this person was one she hated.Hearing Qing Guifei"s words, Qian Jiujiu only revealed a bashful smile on her lips: "I made that myself. I just want to express some of the respect and respect I have for Concubine Mother"s daughter-in-law. "
Upon hearing these words, all the consorts had their own thoughts. It seemed that they needed to build a good relationship with the Princess Xiao. They had to rely on this skill alone to survive in the harem.
much less behind her back there were also the two great mountains, Qing Guifei and Xiao w.a.n.g Manor. She didn"t dare to offend them in the first place.
Right now, not to mention offending her, even she would be welcomed with a smile on her face. However, Consort Xian was full of disbelief: "You said it was you who did it, but it was you who did it?"
"Who knows, you might just use other people"s methods to curry favor with him. If you have the ability, then do it on the spot."Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes, and looked at Consort Xian in disbelief. Then, she turned around and looked at Qing Guifei, her voice filled with grievance.
"Concubine Mother, this is really made by my daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law only finished this afternoon and early in the morning. My daughter-in-law did not rest for the entire night, and did this all to make my Concubine Mother happy."
"But …"
As he said that, Qian Jiujiu actually started crying with a face full of grievance. I couldn"t continue speaking, but there were still tears in my eyes, causing everyone to look at him uncontrollably.
This Princess Xiao was so delicate, to think that she would cry the moment someone questioned her. This Pear Blossom Rain looked even more charming and lovable than before.
Seeing this, Qing Guifei"s heart ached, and he pulled Qian Jiujiu along: "Jiu Er, don"t cry, Concubine Mother knows about your filial piety, you can"t let others who are envious of you to say some bad words, you"ll be sad.""That"s not worth it, good boy."
All of the imperial concubines were flabbergasted. This Qing Guifei was also so gentle and gentle at times, but they remembered that he had a very arrogant and rude temper, which allowed him to bring up such a domineering duke like.
Of course, in the eyes of the people, Mu Yexiao was a war G.o.d, and in the eyes of the women in the harem, Mu Yexiao was an overlord. Now he could see that this Princess Xiao was in front of him.
I"m afraid that is very important in Qing Guifei"s heart, Qian Jiujiu did not care about it, and upon hearing Qing Guifei"s words, she immediately broke down in tears and laughed, then bashfully laughed again."My daughter-in-law will listen to Concubine Mother."
All of the consorts came to their senses. This Princess Xiao was also a master of acting.After Qing Guifei finished coaxing Qian Jiujiu, he turned around to look at Consort Xian, his face filled with ill will: "Little Sister Consort Xian, you must have some kind of grudge, it"s good enough that you have that grudge coming towards me now."
"You bullied my daughter-in-law the day she entered the palace. Are you looking down on me?"
All of the imperial concubines were stunned. This was the beginning of a flame war.
