Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 238: 1 Always boasting that he is outspoken

Kunning Palace.

"Huang Pin, is what Xu Pin just said true?" The Queen looked very angry and her tone was much heavier.

"Your Highness, I have already said that I did not scold Sister Gao. It was Concubine Xu who sowed discord and forced me to question her. I was just making an analogy and did not mention any names."

Can Huang Ye admit it? She definitely can't. If she hadn't thought of a solution long ago, she wouldn't have come forward rashly. Xu Rou and Gao Meiren wanted to use her as a stepping stone, but it depends on whether she is willing.

"Concubine Gao, tell us what happened." The Queen said to Concubine Gao, unable to tell whether she was happy or angry. She thought that if Concubine Huang refused to admit that she had scolded Concubine Gao, it would be difficult for her to convict Huang based on what Concubine Xu had just said. Now it depended on Concubine Gao's ability. If she insisted that Concubine Huang had only scolded her for no reason, then it would be easy for her to deal with her.

Although Lady Gao was a bit mean, she was indeed a smart person. She skipped the part where she provoked Huang Ye, and only repeated what Xu Rou said about Concubine Du and what Huang Ye said in a favorable way.

"Concubine Xu, do you have an issue with Concubine Du caring about the emperor's health?" Although the queen was very annoyed that Concubine Du sent bird's nests to the emperor every day, she couldn't stop her from caring about the emperor's health. She had no way to deal with it. Now, it was a pleasant surprise to involve Concubine Xu.

The queen was eager to give Xu Rou a slap in the face at this time. This Xu concubine, who was she trying to slap in the face by coming to her Kunning Palace in such bright red clothes every day? She didn't want to argue with this idiot, but she felt irritated.

"Empress." Xu Rou exclaimed. She didn't expect that the fire would burn herself. "Empress, please understand. If there is anyone in the harem who cares about the Queen's health the most, it must be me. The emperor and I are cousins, and we grew up together. How can I not care about the emperor's health? To be honest, even if the emperor coughs, I will feel distressed for a long time."

"What Concubine Xu means is that none of us concubines in the harem care about the emperor's health as much as you do." The always honest Concubine Liang couldn't help but interrupt. This Concubine Xu never thinks before she speaks. Who would want to be known as someone who doesn't care about the emperor?

"That's right. I'm afraid you're just lip service to your concern. You've been in the palace for so many days, but I haven't seen you give the emperor anything." When Amy saw Sister Liang, who usually didn't talk, speak, she quickly joined in the conversation. Sometimes, talking can also make one's presence felt, right?

"You..." Xu Rou did not realize that she had angered everyone. She wanted to say that after she entered the palace, she had hosted a banquet for the emperor in Yingxiangxuan, but unfortunately the emperor did not go. Besides, she could not say it in front of so many people. She could only glare at everyone. This bunch of bitches, why don't they just die?

"Concubine Huang, although you didn't curse anyone by name, everyone knows what you mean. If you are not punished today, someone will inevitably follow your example in the future, and the harem will be in chaos." Seeing Huang Ye looking like nothing had happened, the queen felt that if she didn't punish her today, she would not be able to swallow the anger in her heart.

"Empress." Huang Ye bowed solemnly again: "As everyone knows, Sister Gao has always disliked me. Since the first day I entered the palace, she has been mocking me every day and trying every way to step on me. I have no choice but to use a metaphor to express my helplessness."

Huang Ye's expression was both helpless and aggrieved: "From the first day I entered the palace, the Queen Mother taught me that the sisters in the harem should live in harmony. Sister Gao is of higher status than me, and I think I have always been respectful and polite to her. Unfortunately, I don't know how I have offended Sister Gao..."

“I would like to ask all the sisters here, if you have to face such a person who is hostile to you and attacks you with all his might every day, everyone will probably resist.” Huang Ye’s eyes turned red as she spoke, and it was obvious how hard it was for her to endure these days. It’s just acting, isn’t it? She had majored in it in her previous life. As a young girl at that time, who didn’t have a dream of becoming an actress?

"You..." Concubine Gao was speechless. She used to be able to confront people happily and no one would complain to the Queen. She didn't expect that Concubine Huang was so cunning and was waiting for her here.

"Empress." Concubine Du came out and saluted. "This Concubine Gao always boasts that she is outspoken and speaks viciously to other concubines. I hope that the Empress can come forward to stop her. I believe that all the sisters have had enough of her outspokenness."

Concubine Lin also stood up and saluted shakily: "I have been out for a few days, and every day I am tortured by the verbal abuse of this Concubine Gao... For the sake of harmony in the harem, I did not bother with her. If it is like this every day in the future..." She didn't say anything else and let the queen think about it herself.

The queen was speechless. Concubine Gao, this idiot, had given her such a difficult problem. Should she punish her or not? If she punished her, wouldn't it seem that she, as the queen, could not handle the affairs of the harem fairly and was encouraging the unhealthy trends in the harem? If she didn't punish her, she couldn't swallow this anger. Besides, she had already said it, and if she didn't punish her, wouldn't it be a slap in her face.

"Concubine Gao has always been talkative. This is all caused by her mouth. You deserve what Concubine Huang said about you. I hope you will learn from it and stop meddling in other people's business. You all should go back and sit down." The queen gave Concubine Gao a warning look. It was all caused by this idiot, who made her lose all face.

The queen finally decided to maintain her image of being fair and just. As a queen, it would be easy for her to punish a concubine. She just didn't believe that Concubine Huang could escape every time.

"This is Madam Yang." The Queen motioned for Madam Yang to come forward and said, "Lan Ruo may need to rest for a while due to health reasons. Now Madam Yang will replace her as the head madam of Kunning Palace. If you have any problems in the future, just report to Madam Yang.

Nanny Yang stepped forward and saluted everyone with dignity: "Master of Kunning Palace, I am here to greet all the ladies."

"Madam, please don't be so polite." Concubine Du spoke on behalf of the people below. Those people below, even the lowest-ranking talented woman, would not stand up to return the greeting. No matter how low their status was, they were still the emperor's women, and she, a servant, could not compare to them.

"Okay, let's all go." The queen stood up and walked out. When she was outside the palace, Nanny Yang followed her and took a few quick steps: "Your Majesty, it seems that Huangpin is not someone who can be easily dealt with. We must act quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with her when she becomes powerful."

"Just follow the nanny's advice." A fierce light flashed in the queen's eyes. She had never hated someone so much before. Concubine Huang, we'll see.
