Chapter 98: Concubine Becomes Concubine 5

As for Yongzheng, after the woman left, he did not leave for some reason. Instead, he turned around and looked at the green figure.

The hands behind his back moved slightly.

"emperor?"

Seeing this, Su Peisheng shouted tentatively.

At this moment, he was thinking in his heart, is the emperor's unusual behavior now because that person is Prince Lian's man? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why the emperor is so concerned?

Yongzheng heard the voice, came back to his senses, and said calmly: "Let's go."

But he was still a little uneasy after seeing that person. Moreover, Concubine Xi did not seem to have good intentions towards her. Who knew why she was called into the palace at this moment.

Thinking of this, Yongzheng paused and turned back:

"Go to Yongshou Palace."

Su Peisheng's heart beat fast when he heard this, but he did not dare to object and followed Yongzheng.

……

Yongshou Palace

Concubine Xi, who was sitting in the main seat, lifted the tea lid and looked out the door from time to time.

She seemed to be unconcerned, but her makeup and clothes, which were more elaborate than usual, betrayed her urgency.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time but seeing no one coming, she began to feel a little impatient and anxious. She touched the pearl hairpin on her bun and said:

"Madam Chai, please go out and see how Xiangxun works. Why hasn't she brought Mother and Fifth Sister here for so long?"

Madam Chai knew that her master had waited too long for this moment, and was afraid that she would lose her temper, so she bowed and said, "I will go out and take a look."

After a long while, Madam Chai finally came back, but her expression was a little strange. Concubine Xi didn't think much about it and asked directly, "Are you here?"

"I am here, and I am waiting outside, just waiting for your summons, Madam Queen."

Nanny Chai nodded in response, but when she thought of what Xiangxun had just said about her encounter with the Emperor, she felt hesitant to speak. If she didn't tell the truth, the Empress would definitely vent her anger on her when she found out. But the Empress was in a good mood right now, so how should she start?

Concubine Xi didn't notice her expression, and beckoned the maid over: "Bring up the mirror."

The maid immediately presented the mirror to Concubine Xi. She looked at herself in the mirror, and saw herself in gorgeous clothes, which made her look rich and noble. She returned the mirror to the maid with satisfaction, and looked at the luxurious decorations around her. She cleared her throat and said:

"Let them in."

"Yes."

After the palace maid bowed and went out.

Concubine Xi sat up straight in an instant, a smile of self-righteousness appeared on the corners of her lips. She looked superior and innocent, and was ready to be complimented and envied.

Hearing the noise, she casually looked over and her eyes fell on the woman in green who walked in from outside. When she saw that she was not a yellow-faced woman as she had thought, the smile on Concubine Xi's face froze instantly.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty."

"I have seen the queen."

Concubine Xi stared at the woman who was kneeling and bowing without blinking. Her eyes were as beautiful as before and even more melancholy and delicate. She clenched her armor suddenly, and when she saw that Sheng Huan's expression had not changed at all since he came in, and was calm and composed, she felt her defenses were broken.

Could it be that her current achievements could not make her, her good sister, envious? Concubine Xi had to admit that not only did she not see what she wanted to see, but she also felt even more depressed.

"Miss."

Seeing that Concubine Xi seemed distracted, Xiangxun quickly tugged at her sleeve.

Only then did she realize that Nanny Chai was looking at her, obviously urging her to tell her about her encounter with the Emperor.

Xiangxun was silent for a while when she saw this, obviously she was not prepared.

Concubine Xi finally came back to her senses, and didn't notice the eye contact between her confidants. She took on the demeanor of an imperial concubine and walked forward: "Mother, Fifth Sister, you are here, why be so polite, get up."

"Thank you, empress."

As soon as Sheng Huan stood up, her hand was held by Concubine Xi. Feeling the malicious aura from her, Sheng Huan's eyes flashed slightly.

"what?!"

Sure enough, the next moment, her sleeve was lifted up by Concubine Xi as if unintentionally, revealing the scar under the sleeve that had not fully healed.

"Fifth, Fifth Sister, your hand?!" Concubine Xi seemed frightened and covered her mouth in surprise. A smile flashed across her eyes, but her gaze fell on the scar again, with a rare sense of relief.

Sheng Huan remained indifferent, his voice was flat, his eyes remained calm: "It's just an old injury, I'm sorry to scare the queen."

This wound was the result of her recovery after restraint. After all, the burn was so serious that it was impossible to recover in two months. But it was not as terrible and ugly as Concubine Xi showed.

Concubine Xi's exaggerated and affected behavior was obviously intended to make her lose her composure. When she stepped into Yongshou Palace, she could clearly feel Concubine Xi's desire to show off.

"…Fifth sister has suffered."

When Concubine Xi saw this, her heart seemed to be blocked by something, neither going up nor down, and it was like a punch hitting cotton, without any feeling of relief at all.

How could this be? The two of them were so different now, how come Sheng Huan couldn't feel the gap? !

Sheng Huan shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, Madam."

"We are all sisters. Fifth sister is too polite." Concubine Xi pondered in her heart, and then changed the subject, as if expressing deep concern: "Fifth sister, have you adapted to the past two months at home?"

Sheng Huan paused for a moment, and just when Concubine Xi thought she would show a painful expression, she heard her say: "Thanks to the grace of the emperor and the queen, everything will be fine after I return home."

Concubine Xi didn't believe in evil. How could returning home in this situation be good? The servants in the mansion could drive people to death with their spit. The feeling of being excluded by everyone would probably drive people crazy. Why did she seem calm at this moment?

Concubine Xi thought secretly, could it be that Sheng Huan pretended too well? She waved her hand and a palace maid brought up a teacup.

Madam Niohuru also noticed that the atmosphere was not right. She looked at Concubine Xi secretly, thinking about something in her heart.

As soon as the tea came up, Concubine Xi spoke:

"This is Biluochun, the top layer. The emperor divided it into three portions, and Yongshou Palace got one portion." She said with a hint of pride: "Mother and Fifth Sister, please try it. If you think it's good, I'll ask Xiangxun to bring some back to you when you leave the palace."

Upon hearing this, Madam Niu Hulu felt that the tea was too hot for her mouth and quickly refused: "How can we accept this? Since it is a reward from the Emperor, you can use it for yourself. We are ordinary people and cannot use such precious things."

"What are you talking about, mother? Since the emperor has given me this gift, it is my property, and I will naturally let me do with it as I please."

She looked at Sheng Huan, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she was full of arrogance: "Fifth sister, what do you think of this tea?"

Sheng Huan nodded naturally, and even praised sincerely: "It tastes sweet and has a long aftertaste. It is a good tea."

Hearing this, Concubine Xi choked. She didn't want to hear such meaningless words. What she wanted to hear was her envy. Thinking of this, she flashed a trace of displeasure between her eyebrows: "Fifth sister, since you think it's good, take some back to the palace later. I have plenty here. When there are no more in the future, the emperor will give some as a reward."

"I know your majesty means well, but I'm used to simple meals and don't want to waste good things." Sheng Huan didn't show any yearning on her face when she heard this. She seemed a little hesitant because she hadn't spoken to anyone for such a long time.

Concubine Xi felt that her plan to bring Sheng Huan into the palace to humiliate her was completely useless. Her sister had been imprisoned for so many years that her brain must have become stupid, and she was just being humiliated for nothing.

Feeling irritated, she saw the eye contact between Madam Chai and Xiangxun. It seemed like they had something to say. Her heart sank and she looked at Xiangxun: "What's going on? Is there something wrong?"

Xiangxun's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Sheng Huan and Madam Niu Hulu, and then met Concubine Xi's impatient eyes. She did not dare to hesitate, stepped forward, leaned close to her ear, and whispered:

"My Lord, when I was here with my wife and the Fifth Princess, I met the Emperor." She paused, sensing Concubine Xi's anger, and she made up her mind to stop hiding anything and told him everything in detail. Finally, she said:

"The Emperor also spoke a few words to the Fifth Princess."

Sheng Huan and Madam Niu Hulu, who were sitting below, heard the master and servant whispering, so they bowed their heads and closed their eyes to listen. However, no one noticed that Sheng Huan paused in wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.
