Chapter 342: The imperial concubine (11)

The Fourth Concubine came to greet Chu Xiang. The always arrogant Concubine Xi concubine put away all her arrogance overnight, and replaced it with a gloomy, even the close-fitting maids beside her dare not get too close to her, bowed her head and followed tremblingly.
But the other three concubines are not afraid of her. Her father has been deprived of official posts. Even if she is a tiger, she is also a tiger whose teeth have been extracted. Why should she be afraid?
Li Fei was not very clever. After she took her seat, she was the first to lose her breath. She covered her lips with a kerchief and smiled: "What's wrong with Concubine Xi? It's like a saw-mouthed gourd, she doesn't say a word. Normally Concubine Xi is the best. Can you tell me?"
Concubine Xi's sharp gaze shot at her, but the mocking look on her face became stronger, and she smiled and said: "I almost forgot, Concubine Xi's house had a few bastards, which made Qi Shangshu lose her official position. Now, Concubine Xi is naturally not happy. Oh, no, look at my mouth, now it can’t be called'Qi Shang Shu', reluctantly (qiang) to call'Master Qi'."
Li Fei patted her mouth exaggeratedly, very lightly, for fear that someone would not know that she was deliberately entertaining Concubine Xi.
Concubine Xi stood up abruptly, and sternly scolded, "Even if my father has no official position, you can't laugh at it! What are you? A declining daughter of the third class, if it hadn't had a face comparable to an oiran, you even The door of the palace can't (touch Mo)!"
"You! You are so courageous! At this point, you still dare to humiliate me. Are you still the most favored lady in Shangshufu?" Li Fei flushed with anger, and then looked at Chu Xiang aggrievedly." The imperial concubine, you have to call the shots for the concubines, Xi Fei's remarks are too much, the concubines are the concubines of the emperor, she dare to compare the concubines with those filthy women, she is insulting the emperor! "
Chu Xiang felt right, saying that the emperor's concubine is like an oiran, isn't it an insult to the emperor?
She leaned on the soft couch and ate the grapes that Ziyue had fed, and said lightly: "It seems that the Qi family is really unruly. From top to bottom, no one understands etiquette, justice, and shame. Concubine Xi has been in the palace for so long, and she deliberately followed Mother Qin has learned the rules, but she still can't learn to speak."
Concubine Xi suddenly turned around and stared at her, trembling with anger, "Chu Xiang! How dare you humiliate me openly? The emperor has spoiled you for a few days, do you really think you can dominate the harem?"
Chu Xiang said puzzledly: "Can't this palace? Speaking of which, this palace would like to thank Concubine Xi. If it weren't for the smog of your Qi family, the position of Shangshu in the household department would not be vacated, and my father would not get so good. An errand. In this way, this palace will not punish you for the crime you committed today. Retreat."
Concubine Xi stood there with her back straight, and she was so frightened that many palace staff were silent, but she did not take advantage of Chu Xiang, who was lying casually, and she even felt that Chu Xiang didn't put her in her eyes at all. Make her feel humiliated.
She used to ridicule Chu Xiang, and Chu Xiang didn't say a word. When did they turn upside down?
It seems that after being assassinated from the emperor, Chu Xiang saved the emperor and became the emperor's sole favor. She knew that she should be low-key and forbearing now, waiting for an opportunity to contact the regent before making plans. But Chu Xiang asked someone to transfer all the hidden piles she buried to Lenggong this morning. She has no one to use. It is clear that Chu Xiang has no scruples about seeing her father lose power and indulges Lifei to humiliate her.
Who didn't know that Li Fei had come to dance and sing for Chu Xiang all day, and she had won many rewards from Chu Xiang? Li Fei has become Chu Xiang's person in line. Does Li Fei mean Chu Xiang's meaning? Concubine Xi wished to trample them to death early when she returned to the palace. If she had known that Chu Xiang was hiding so deeply, she would not have been focusing on Concubine Jin and Concubine Hui before, so that Chu Xiang would be favored unconsciously.
Concubine Xi is not stupid. If the regent keeps Qi's house, her father would not think behind closed doors. The regent may have abandoned them angrily, she has no one to rely on, and I am afraid that Chu Xiang will not let her go.
The Qi family of the Chu family had already become enemies, and the two of them were destined to not be good. And Chu Xiang was the emperor's favorite concubine, and the only one who failed was her.
After she figured out all this, she gave up everything. Looking at Chu Xiang's leisurely appearance, she thought that Chu Xiang would let her be a vegetarian, copy the scriptures, let her learn the rules, and humiliate her family for lack of propriety, justice and shame, and a sudden burst in her heart The fire was suppressed by her.
She has only one way now, and that is to let the emperor die!
As long as she killed the emperor, the regent will reward the Qi family and give her a way to survive. She is still prosperous and wealthy, and she must be much better than now.
Concubine Xi clenched her teeth and retreated without saying a word, which surprised San Fei very much.
Li Fei walked to Chu Xiang's side and said incredibly, "Emperor Concubine, let her go like this? She is disrespectful to you. She should be punished to kneel outside for an hour, so as to be like you and give you power."
Chu Xiang smiled, "Why does this palace need to stand up? There is no need to go after the dog of the bereavement."
Concubine Hui and Concubine Jin looked at each other, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness. Qi Shangshu was overthrown by the Chu family. Today is the father of Concubine Xi, will he be their father tomorrow?
Today, Chu Xiang cut off all the claws of Concubine Xi, did he do it at will, or did it show them? Is it to let them stand in line before expanding the harem? They glanced at Li Fei, and they thought more unconsciously, Chu Xiang wanted to be a queen, right?
The two of them hadn't figured out how to do it, and after a few conversations with Chu Xiang, they retired and left. However, Li Fei had recently tasted the sweetness of Chu Xiang and was very happy to leave Chu Xiang to relieve her boredom.
Xiao Yuanzhao was worried about Chu Xiang leaving the palace, and went to Taihe Palace when he left the court. When I entered Taihe Palace, I heard a very beautiful piano and gentle singing. The singing sound made people feel comfortable, but it was completely inferior to the sound of the piano. It was so immersed that people didn't want to wake up.
Xiao Yuanzhao stopped and listened for a moment, motioned everyone to silence, walked in lightly, and saw Li Fei standing in the yard singing intoxicatingly, and the piano player was Chu Xiang, who was always lazy!
Xiao Yuanzhao couldn't help staring at Chu Xiang in surprise. Even Chu Ze, who came with him, was surprised. Is Chu Xiang's piano skill so good? They never knew.
After listening to Li Fei's singing, Chu Xiang suddenly became interested, so he personally played a song. The few servants in front of the palace were fascinated, until Xiao Yuanzhao walked closer, did not see him, and hurriedly bowed down to salute.
Li Fei also saw Xiao Yuanzhao, and happily stepped forward to salute, but Xiao Yuanzhao waved her hand to avoid her gift, and stepped over her and stood in front of Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang didn't lift his head, and played leisurely to himself, ignoring Xiao Yuanzhao at all, seeing Chu Ze sweating coldly.
Chu Xiang kept playing the whole song, then raised his head and smiled at Xiao Yuanzhao: "Does it sound good?"
Xiao Yuanzhao looked at her with complicated eyes, how many faces did she not show? The four concubines in the palace have their own strengths. People are proficient in piano, chess, painting, calligraphy, and singing and dancing. Only the imperial concubine is not good at talents, but beautiful, more beautiful than Li Fei.
But today he discovered that Chu Xiang's skill in playing the piano was so high, and when he felt that he almost knew her, he discovered a new aspect of her.
Xiao Yuanzhao's face (color) held her hand as usual and pulled her to his side, "Ai concubine, I don't know that you play the piano so well, you have never played for me."
Chu Xiang held his hand and tilted his head, "I just recovered from the injury. How can I have the energy to do this before? If you like it, I will play it to you in the future, but I can't do it alone, you Show it to me too."
Chu Ze and Li Fei held their breath instantly, and raised their hearts for Chu Xiang's boldness. Xiao Yuanzhao heard Chu Xiang's heartfelt voice-don't do unfair things (gan gan), otherwise you won't become a performer?
Xiao Yuanzhao laughed and said: "Okay, I want to see how many things Ai Concubine still has hidden, I will dig them out one by one sooner or later."
He is a pun, but Chu Xiang only turns his head to say hello to Chu Ze when he is teasing her.
Chu Ze's heart fell back to where he was, but he was still a little scared. He never thought that his sister and the emperor would get along privately like this, more casual than his parents. The emperor had just accounted for Qi Shangshu because of the rules. He was afraid that the emperor would also be dissatisfied with Chu Xiang. Who knew that the emperor showed no signs of dissatisfaction.
He suddenly remembered what Chu Xiang had said to his mother, saying that the emperor liked her like this, which seemed to be true at this time.
Xiao Yuanzhao didn't pay attention to what the people around him were thinking. He was sure that they were loyal and he never heard their voices. He didn't rely on mind reading, and Chu Xiang was the only one who could make him listen.
He and Chu Xiang were not too affectionate in front of outsiders, and it was inconvenient to listen to her, and immediately wanted Li Fei and others to retreat.
Chu Xiang grabbed him and said, "The emperor hasn't seen Li Fei dance. Why don't you let Li Fei dance a dance today."
She turned her head and said to Li Fei, who was a little jealous of her, "Go get ready, not only will the palace reward you, but the emperor will also reward you again."
Li Fei's eyes lit up, and she immediately responded with joy and prepared to go. Xiao Yuanzhao was not very happy, and then heard Chu Xiang’s heartfelt voice-try with a beautiful woman who can sing and dance. If the emperor moves, he should leave the palace early, otherwise the emperor will come and spoil a court lady. She didn't know either.
Xiao Yuanzhao kept a smile on his face, took Chu Xiang's hand and walked to the pavilion to sit down, but he was unhappy in his heart. She was leaving again, as if the imperial concubine's departure from the palace was something flamboyant, she just left. Also try to see if he is interested in other women, do you really treat him as a ghost? He wanted to have this heart, he would have favored the four concubines one by one!
She was also afraid that he would spoil the court lady at will, he seemed so prone to sex?
Xiao Yuanzhao couldn't tell why he was upset, because she was leaving, because she underestimated him, or because she became more and more mysterious. But to his surprise, he had always thought that there should be no fear at all, which made him very vigilant. If an emperor is so relieved of a person, it is definitely not a good thing.
Xiao Yuanzhao chatted with Chu Xiang without a word. Chu Xiang glanced at him, thinking that the emperor wouldn't listen to people dancing and just wait and see it absently?
Xiao Yuanzhao's heart shuddered, and he hurriedly gathered his energy to focus all his attention on Chu Xiang. He figured it out, before he found out Chu Xiang's futility, he still wanted to see her and pet her every day, otherwise she might disappear without a trace of his negligence.
For the first time, Li Fei showed her graceful dance in front of Xiao Yuanzhao, and she did her best to achieve the best posture in her life. Unexpectedly, when he looked up, Xiao Yuanzhao personally fed Chu Xiang to eat grapes, his eyes full of love did not look at her at all, and his heart was immediately cold.
Chu Xiang was very satisfied, and the emperor could still spoil him. Xiao Yuanzhao almost couldn't hold his face when he heard her heart, she spoiled him? What does she think? ? ?
