Chapter 115 Meeting the Concubine
At first, she was worried that Song Chuji would treat women like toys and not cherish them because of what happened in his childhood, which would be a difficult problem to deal with.
But unexpectedly, Song Chuji was such an infatuated man. He had never fallen in love with anyone else since he married the queen. She heard that he had only visited the imperial concubine's palace a few more times for the sake of the balance of power in the court.
He just sat for a short while and then left, he didn't really show any favor to me.
How could she know that it was obviously not for the balance of power in the court, but because Nie Shuangshuang made him unhappy, so he deliberately threw a tantrum and went to Zhongcui Palace.
Concubine Mei became even more interested in this queen. She had never looked at her closely before and only knew that she was stunningly beautiful and impeccable in appearance. However, His Majesty should not be so superficial as to only look at her appearance.
Liao Wei sneered upon hearing this, "Your Majesty and the elder Empress Dowager haven't spoken yet, but the Empress has already made her own decision!"
These words were said with a hint of jealousy, and Concubine Mei finally realized that something was wrong and turned her head to meet his gaze.
"Liao Wei, what's wrong with you today? You're not like this usually. But whenever I talk about the Queen, you become so unconvinced and angry!"
I don’t know why my emotions fluctuate so much, but it just feels weird.
Liao Wei pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, just think that I am talking nonsense. I am doing this for your own good. You are the Concubine Dowager and her elder.
Your Majesty, it is only natural that you teach her some rules."
Liao Wei admires Song Chuji, so naturally she is picky about the woman he favors and finds nothing good in her.
Now, she is even instigating conflicts between Concubine Mei and Nie Shuangshuang. However, Concubine Mei has been a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures for so long that she has developed a character that does not like to fight with the world.
Not to mention that Nie Shuangshuang had never provoked her, even if she did, she would not pay any attention.
"I am not your Majesty's biological mother. The reason why your Majesty treats me differently is because I had a close relationship with his mother when I was young, and we also suffered together in the palace. That's why he has a little more pity for me."
More importantly, she has no children and doesn't want to argue about status, birth, or status.
Only by being honest and doing her duty can Song Chuji respect her more. Otherwise, her fate will not be any better.
Anyway, Song Chuji has killed so many women in the harem, and his vicious reputation has long been known to everyone. He is not afraid of people saying bad things about him behind his back, so what does it matter if he kills one more?
Liao Wei lowered her head and said nothing when she heard this, but she didn't care at all in her heart.
Concubine Mei herself had no ability and could not win the title and favor, but she was different.
She is now close to Concubine Mei, and has her support. She is also quite pretty. She has been with Concubine Mei for only a short time, and is even thirteen or fourteen years old when she is with Imperial Concubine Xuan.
She has been influenced by everything and is well aware of the means of vying for favor in the palace. As long as His Majesty is willing to give her a chance to perform, she will definitely satisfy His Majesty!
The confidence I have now will completely collapse the moment I see Nie Shuangshuang.
There is no one who doesn't want to be in a high position and have the power of life and death. Even Concubine Mei competed for favor!
But without any background or support, even if one is favored, there are still many ways to push him down. Background, appearance, family background and means are all indispensable to make it to the end.
She was a woman who came from a brothel and had nothing but her beauty. She had been dealt a bad hand and ended up in this situation today. Being honored as the only concubine dowager, she was already very content!
But I didn’t expect that the people around me had such big ambitions.
"Your Majesty, you are too modest. There is no Queen Mother in the palace. Although your Majesty's mother was posthumously named Queen Mother, she is not the Queen Mother. You are the highest-ranking person in the palace, so it is only natural for you to discipline the Queen. Besides, she has not come to see you for such a long time, which is too rude."
It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. Liao Wei was determined to find fault with Nie Shuangshuang, so how could she not come up with slanderous rumors?
Concubine Mei thought about it and realized that she had indeed not looked at the Queen carefully, so she didn't know what kind of girl Chu Ji liked.
Driven by curiosity, she finally nodded, "That's true, she has never met me, please go and ask her!"
Upon hearing this, Liao Wei smiled delightedly and went to the carriage where the queen was. Just as she was about to go over and give orders in a proud manner, she was stopped by a guard with a sword when she approached the carriage.
"How dare you! Who dares to approach the Queen's carriage without permission?!"
They were specially arranged by Song Chuji to protect Nie Shuangshuang, so they naturally performed their duties conscientiously and surrounded the Queen's carriage.
Liao Wei was startled, rolled her eyes and shouted angrily, "Are you guys rebelling? I'm the maidservant beside the Concubine Dowager, how dare you stop me like this?"
As he said this, he tried to push him hard, but was pushed back instead.
Liao Wei was so angry that her face turned pale. She was noisy and looked ferocious. She was not good-looking to begin with, and now she looked even uglier.
Nie Shuangshuang heard someone outside talking about her own Concubine Mei's maid, and laughed, "This Concubine is said to be a vegetarian and a Buddhist, but she didn't even know that the maid next to her was like this. How can she make such a fuss?"
Hui An lifted the curtain and walked over. "Who are you? How dare you make a scene in front of the Queen?"
Liao Wei raised her eyebrows and sneered, "My Concubine Dowager has invited the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has not paid a visit to the Concubine Dowager for such a long time. The Concubine Dowager is very unhappy and specially came to invite the Queen Mother to come over for a chat!"
Hui An couldn't help but roll her eyes. What could the two of them talk about?
He hasn't even met her, and she's not a member of the palace, but he specially sent someone to invite her. That's incredible!
Nie Shuangshuang smiled in the carriage, "She is right. I am the queen, so I should go to see Concubine Mei. Lead the way!"
As she spoke, she gently lifted the curtain with her bare hands, and Huian hurried in to help the empress out from behind the curtain.
The moment Nie Shuangshuang came out, her exquisite little face was as dazzling as stars, making people fall in love with her.
Her beautiful eyes are like the deep starry sky, flickering with faint light, and her brows are filled with noble and charming temperament.
The nose is high and straight, with clear contours, dignified and petite, the cherry mouth is slightly upturned, outlining a charming curve, and the pink color is very attractive.
Her skin was as white as jade, with a clear beauty and silky as a silk ribbon. Her figure was graceful with beautiful curves. Every part of her was perfect. The hands that lifted the curtain were white and delicate, and her face was a little pale because she was not feeling well.
She looked even more fragile and pitiful, and she smiled and said, "Please lead the way, young lady. I will go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother right away. I was negligent before, and it was not intentional."
