Chapter 417 A Conflict
Concubine Li has been favored these days and has become so beautiful and charming with a charming look.
The arrogance and complacency that had been a little restrained at the beginning became full.
When Concubine Li learned that the emperor would pass by the lotus pond after leaving court, she came here with her maid Kang Shujing.
The lotus flowers are in full bloom in July. Lotus flowers in a vase are more elegant than ordinary flowers because of their noble character and are more lovable.
Picking lotus flowers requires taking a boat, but when Concubine Li went there, there was only one boat left.
The eunuch in charge of the boat said, "Miss Li, what a coincidence! This last boat was left for her by Concubine Rui."
Rui Guiren? Isn't that the embroiderer from Guangchusi who was given to the emperor by the emperor?
Concubine Li had heard of this a long time ago. She had been favored for a period of time, but probably because she had offended the Queen, the Emperor did not visit her during this period.
Since he was the Queen's enemy, she was even more displeased.
"Hasn't this person arrived yet? Besides, the emperor hasn't been to her place recently, so this boat is left to me."
The father-in-law's expression became even more embarrassed. Both of them were important people, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them.
But Concubine Rui did say that she would come at this time, but she never came. Otherwise, would he have given the boat to Concubine Li first?
Then we will say that Concubine Li stole the boat.
But he was afraid that Concubine Rui would vent her anger on him.
Just when the father-in-law was in a dilemma, Xiu Yue came, and the father-in-law felt as if he had been pardoned.
No one who has seen Lady Li's face will ever forget it.
Xiuyue said, "It turns out to be Sister Li. What a coincidence that I meet you here."
"It's not a coincidence at all," Li Guiren said bluntly, "Sister, everything should be based on first come first served. I came to the lotus pond first and wanted the last boat, but the eunuch said it was reserved for Sister Rui."
"My sister has just arrived, so I'm afraid she doesn't know the rules of the palace," Concubine Rui laughed. "Every year at this time, it's the lotus picking season. The palace servants go out by boat every day. If you want to take a boat ride, I'm afraid you really have to tell them in advance."
"Of course, you can just wait here now, they will come back eventually."
When Concubine Li heard this, she just felt that Xiu Yue was showing off.
Hasn't she been staying in the palace all the time and is familiar with the palace rules?
But how could she be compared with me? She was just a palace maid.
"Whether I understand the rules or not is not up to you. Sister was born a palace maid, how can she understand things like us who come from aristocratic families?"
Concubine Li smiled maliciously: "For example, Sister Rui was ignored by the Emperor a few days ago because she didn't know the rules and offended the Empress, right?"
Xiu Yue was a little annoyed. Didn't Concubine Li just poke her wherever it hurt?
"Since you have just entered the palace, I advise you not to be too arrogant."
Xiu Yue lowered her voice, "Things change over time. Who knows when the emperor will think of me again. By then, it will be too late for my sister to reconcile with me."
Concubine Li shook her handkerchief and said, "You are just a maid. The emperor may be interested in you for two days. Do you think the emperor really dotes on you? You are just a toy."
Xiu Yue really hates these women from aristocratic families.
I am obviously not that bad.
If she was born in a family like that, she could only be better than them.
"Sister, when you are speaking nonsense here, don't forget that I am the one given to the Emperor by the Emperor. If you say that I am not good enough, doesn't that mean that both the Emperor and the Emperor have poor vision?"
Concubine Li's smile froze. She was only thinking about the fact that Concubine Rui was born a palace maid, but forgot that she was given to the Emperor by the Supreme Emperor.
Although Concubine Rui may not have even met the retired emperor in person or served him, it is a fact that she was chosen by him.
If someone with ulterior motives spread her words, it would be bad.
"When did I say this? You are twisting my words!"
After saying this, Concubine Li left in a hurry.
Rui Guiren was watching from behind, her eyes narrowed.
The reason she went to the Queen to ask about the Fourteenth Master that day was only because of the order from the Guo Luoluo family.
I didn't expect to find myself in such a passive situation.
But there is still a long way to go, and he will win back the emperor's heart sooner or later.
Concubine Li had never expected that a noble lady who was just a humble palace maid would dare to challenge her.
He wanted to poison this man to death.
But she had just entered the palace and had not yet understood the current situation, so it would not be convenient for her to poison her even if she wanted to.
While Concubine Li was struggling, Concubine Rui came to Yixiu crying and begging.
"Empress, I said a few too many words about the court affairs before. I know I was wrong, but I have changed my ways. But everyone in the harem can still step on me. Today, Concubine Li said that I was born in a lowly family. She looked down on me because I was a palace maid."
"My queen, you have to make the decision for me."
Concubine Rui was crying here.
"What can I do for you?" Since Yixiu already knew that she was Guo Luoluo's person, she didn't want to help any more. "What Li Guiren said is also true."
Concubine Rui froze.
How could the Queen say that?
"Does the Queen also think that I am a lowly person?"
Yi Xiu said: "I think you are a palace maid."
Lady Rui: ...
She hated the Queen!
-----------------
Concubine Li walked out for a long time before she realized that she was just a palace maid, so how could she ask the retired emperor to seek justice?
She is not Maertai Ruoxi who was beside the emperor.
After a while, her sedan chair and Tong Jia Wanqing's met on the palace road.
Kang Shujing, the maidservant beside her, said, "My lady, we have encountered Miss Hua's sedan chair ahead and we can't pass. My lady, should we make way?"
Concubine Li had recovered by now, and she was even more resentful as she said, "We are almost out of this palace, there is absolutely no reason for us to give in to her."
"My lady, my lady Hua's position is even higher..."
"Useless!" Li Guiren was angry, "Don't you know how to communicate?"
Kang Shujing was about to say something when the palace maid next to her pulled her back.
She could only swallow her words and walk towards Huapin.
"Master Hua, our master said that we are almost out of here, so could you please..."
Tong Jiawan smiled faintly, "You can let me get out of the way, please ask your young master to speak in person."
Kang Shujing was relieved that the scene she had imagined of being slapped in the face by Concubine Hua did not happen.
She reported the truth to Concubine Li.
Lady Li: "You useless bastard, you can't even handle such a small matter!"
Although she was scolding the palace maid, Huapin was one level higher than her in rank, so she had to go over.
But Concubine Li was not afraid at all.
Now that she has the emperor's favor, who among them dares to compete with her?
