Chapter 167 Competition
"Yes, I obey the order!" Chu Xia Weiwei stepped back and actually wanted to pick someone.【】
Concubine Jia and Concubine Yi both came to their senses after being briefly surprised.
"Your Majesty, I was just joking with my concubine's sister. There is no shortage of servants in my palace. I'm really sorry for bothering you." Concubine Jia immediately said respectfully.
"Since you feel sorry for yourself, just accept it!" A soft smile appeared on the queen's face, but there was no doubt in her words.
"Yes, I obey the order and thank you for the reward!" Concubine Jia wanted to say something, but after pondering for a moment, she did not dare to say more and immediately thanked her.
"Concubine, thank you, the empress!" Concubine Yi didn't dare to refuse when she saw Concubine Jia, and she didn't even have the courage.
The queen nodded slightly, and with her beautiful eyes turning, she looked at Concubine Xian who was sitting quietly with a slight smile on her face, and she was about to speak.
Concubine Xian's heart suddenly suddenly stood up and she said: "Queen, Yongqi is playing by the lake. The child has been a little naughty in recent days. The slaves can't look down on him. I have been out for a long time, and I feel a little worried. I want to
Go and have a look, I hope your Majesty will approve!"
The queen looked at her with a half-smile, and remained silent for a long time, thinking that Concubine Xian was nothing more than that, and she might have looked down upon her these days.
Concubine Rao Shixian was always calm, but the queen looked a little flustered.
What is the Queen trying to do? Even if she wants to place her servants next to me, it won't be like this, Concubine Xian thought in her heart.
"I think it's almost time. Concubine Chun is not feeling very happy today. She won't be here. You should all disperse as well!" The queen glanced at everyone again and said with a smile.
"Yes!" Everyone immediately stood up and left.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, please come in!" Wei Ning'er had just left the hall, and Cheng Bi chased after her.
Wei Ning'er nodded slightly and was about to follow Cheng Bi in, but unexpectedly Yi Bi raised her eyebrows and said with some disdain: "After all, I was born as a slave, just a dog, I thought I was so great!"
"Sister!" Shu Bin looked at Yi Bin next to her with some surprise after hearing this, and then gently pulled Yi Bin's sleeve.
"Why are you holding me back? Is it possible that I can't even say anything to you?" After Yibin said this, she turned around and glared at Wei Ning'er.
If Wei Ning'er hadn't brought an unknown girl into the palace, how could she have offended the empress? The empress arranged for the palace maid to be by her side, and she would have to be wary of everything she did in the future. Now she is very dissatisfied and feels full of
There was nowhere to vent his anger, so he could not take it out on Wei Ning'er.
Wei Ning'er took a deep breath, not intending to argue with her, and when Concubine Yi saw Wei Ning'er taking steps forward, she deliberately sneered: "My concubine, my sister is really favored now, the emperor touched her in the palm of his hand, and envied others, the queen
The empress also favors her sister very much and protects her at all times, but..."
When Yi Bi said this, she changed the subject and hurried to Wei Ning'er, with a smile on her face that was a bit sinister: "Even if my sister is in great glory now, her flowers will never bloom for a hundred days. Wait until the day when the delicate flowers wither...
"
Before Yi Bin finished speaking, Wei Ning'er interrupted her with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, even if one day, those flowers that withered before my sister will probably have turned into dust, so why should I be afraid? Sister Lao
I'm worried, the queen is waiting for my sister, but my sister has left first."
Seeing Wei Ning'er going to the main hall, Yi concubine stamped her feet angrily, and then walked away with the maids beside her.
"What an idiot. I can't blame everyone for not wanting to see her!" Concubine Jia sneered when she saw Yi Bi leaving angrily.
Wanqing, the lady-in-charge next to Concubine Jia, smiled and said, "What the empress is saying is that Concubine Yi's temperament is really unbearable!"
"Humph..." Concubine Jia snorted softly before leading everyone there.
In the main hall, the Queen looked at Wei Ning'er with a smile on her face: "You came to visit the palace yesterday, and I didn't have time to ask you. Did you go well this time with the Emperor in disguise?"
"Your Majesty, everything is fine!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly.
"The woman you brought from outside the palace seems very inappropriate to me. If she makes the slightest move, just get rid of her so that she won't be troubled by staying with her!" This was what the queen originally meant, but Wei Ning'er had already
After leaving the person behind, she had to say that she had given it to Wei Ning'er herself.
"Don't worry, my concubine. I will definitely be careful. This matter is definitely not that simple. I want to use this girl to lure out the person behind her." Wei Ning'er told the queen her plan.
"If someone really wants to send this girl to the palace on purpose, not to mention what the purpose is, they must know the emperor's whereabouts. This is too scary. Ning'er, please keep an eye on that girl. If there is any
If there is any trouble, report it to me immediately. I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go!" The queen was frightened. If someone really wants to harm the emperor, then don't blame her for being cruel.
"Yes!" Wei Ning'er was also surprised. The Queen has always been kind, but this time she showed her true feelings. This shows that in the Queen's heart, the Emperor is the most important person.
"It's easy to get tired when you're pregnant. After a while, I feel tired!" The queen showed a look of exhaustion on her face.
The Queen was pregnant. Apart from the most trusted people around her in Chu Xia, only the Emperor and Wei Ning'er knew about it.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!" Wei Ning'er said respectfully.
"Well, we are going to Mulan Paddock in a few days. I will find a way to stay in the palace. Concubine Xian has to take care of the fifth elder brother, so she won't go. Concubine Chun is too heavy and will not go. She is with the emperor.
There aren't many people left, but you have to be careful!" the queen warned.
"Yes, concubine, please keep this in mind!" Wei Ning'er responded and saw that the queen was sleepy, so she retreated.
A few days later, the emperor issued an order to go to Mulan Paddock. What Wei Ning'er didn't expect was that Concubine Xian actually went with her. The fifth elder brother was still young and stayed in the palace with the Queen Mother.
Having gone hunting in the paddock last year, Wei Ning'er already knew the rules. Originally, the princess wanted to come with her, but she was left in the palace by the queen.
Because everything was kept simple, Wei Ning'er only had Bingruo with her. After arriving at the paddock, she followed the emperor.
The emperor went on the first hunting trip and then returned to watch the city. He climbed up to the city to observe the surroundings. Wei Ning'er and other concubines from the harem were all accompanying him.
"Your Majesty, look at my eldest brother, he seems to have improved in bow and arrow riding and shooting!" Concubine Xian stood beside the emperor with a faint smile on her face.
The emperor nodded slightly, but said nothing.
Since the last conflict with Wei Ning'er when they were admiring peonies in the sky, the emperor no longer wants to see Concubine Xian. He usually goes to her palace every month, but this time the emperor has not set foot in her palace for three months in a row.
of Yimengxuan.
Originally, after Concubine Yu was reprimanded by the emperor, she gave her fifth elder brother to Concubine Xian to raise. Concubine Xian thought that the emperor no longer took that matter to heart. Moreover, the emperor still ignored her, and even Yongqi did not care.
He is as favored by the emperor as before.
"My sister is absolutely right. Yong Huang has indeed made great progress since he came here, but Yong Qi is still a smart and sensible sister!" Concubine Jia agreed when she saw the emperor looking at her eldest brother with a look of relief on his face, so she agreed with Concubine Xian,
smiled.
"My sister's Yongxun is also pretty good. I like it when I see it!" Concubine Xian said with a smile.
When Concubine Jia heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, and cold sweat broke out from behind. Concubine Huixian had been plotting against Yongxun when she was still alive. Concubine Xian's words at this time frightened her.
Concubine Yu was the same concubine as her, and Concubine Yu's Yongqi could be raised by Concubine Xian. If she made a mistake, wouldn't her Yongxun also become Concubine Xian's child?
Thinking of this, Concubine Jia, who originally planned to get close to Concubine Xian in the near future, immediately gave up the idea.
"The emperor's princes are all outstanding. In time, when the princes grow up, this Mulan Paddock will be their world!" Seeing that everyone seemed to be very happy, Yibin agreed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said these words, everyone's expressions changed. Wei Ning'er couldn't help but look at her one more time and thought to herself, no wonder this concubine is always disliked. It turns out that she never thinks twice about what she says.
The emperor glanced at her coldly and said in a deep voice: "The world is still my world now. I'm afraid Yibin will be disappointed!"
Yibin finally realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, her whole body trembling slightly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I made a mistake!"
The emperor ignored her and let her kneel on the ground, while everyone present also deliberately ignored her.
"My concubine is very good at riding and shooting, why don't you give it a try!" Concubine Xian looked at Wei Ning'er and said with a smile.
"Yes, your concubine is willing to compete with me!" Concubine Jia also came forward, with a smile on her face.
Wei Ning'er was about to refuse, but the emperor smiled and said: "My concubine is good at riding and archery, Concubine Jia... When I was in the palace, I knew that you were the best at riding and archery, but you haven't touched a bow and arrow in ten years, how can you be your concubine?"
Concubine’s opponent?”
"Your Majesty, if you don't give it a try, how would you know that my concubine is no better than your concubine!" Concubine Jia was a little reluctant and said coquettishly.
"Okay, let's go then. Whoever wins will be rewarded by me!" the emperor said with a smile.
"Your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er was a little embarrassed.
"Go!" The emperor patted her hand and smiled.
Concubine Xian and Concubine Jia looked at the clasped hands of the emperor and Wei Ning'er, with complex expressions flashing in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, since the two sisters are so elegant, I would like to accompany them there so as to be a witness!" Concubine Xian's heart sank and she smiled.
"Oh, Concubine Xian can also ride and shoot?" The emperor looked at her slightly surprised.
Seeing that the emperor was finally willing to look at her, Concubine Xian was overjoyed, but she did not show it on her face. She still smiled lightly and said: "To your Majesty, I learned to ride a horse when I was a child, but my equestrian skills are not good, and I have never been able to shoot an arrow.
.”
"Well, let's go then!" The emperor nodded slightly, and then ordered a group of guards to accompany them to protect them.
To be fair, Wei Ning'er didn't want to go, but now she was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off, and she couldn't ignore everyone's wishes.
