After the female supporting role is quickly put on, she is full of charm

"Can't!"

Zeng Rou panted softly and looked seductive, but she just refused Fu Rong's request for sex.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is your mother, and naturally my mother-in-law. I must not be disrespectful to her."

She continued with a bitter look on her face, "Besides, the Queen Mother doesn't like me. If you continue to speak up for me, it will really be my fault."

Fu Rong, who was originally in high spirits, immediately lost interest when she heard Zeng Rou mention Empress Dowager Xu.

I thought of my mother scolding me with a stern face.

Fu Rong said to Zeng Rou affectionately, "I'm sorry for wronging you, Ah Rou. You've been wronged for me for so many years."

Zeng Rou smiled and shook her head gently, "It is my fortune to be able to accompany Your Majesty. I do not ask for status or position, I only wish to grow old with you."

The affectionate confession made Fu Rong smile happily.

Su Xiaoqian came out of the room only after Zeng Rou left the Yangxin Palace.

Steward Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he told the other palace maids and eunuchs what to do.

Ahzhi was humming a little tune while pruning branches, and the scissors in her hand made crisp "click" sounds.

"Your Majesty, Zeng Rou has already left the Yangxin Palace."

"Oh? Is the sedan chair ready?"

"It's ready."

Seeing that everything was ready except for the east wind, Ah Zhi put down the scissors and went out with Cuizhu and Qingzhu.

The sedan chair was fast and just happened to stop Zeng Rou who was going to the Cining Palace.

Azhi raised his hand to ask the eunuch to stop, then stared at Zeng Rou fiercely.

She played with the bracelet on her wrist, her fingertips gently running across her chin.

"Oh, isn't this Aunt Zeng Rou from the Yangxin Palace? What a coincidence, I actually met you here."

Without waiting for Zeng Rou to answer himself.

Ah Zhi held up her delicate little face and asked, "I'm actually very curious, why do you repeatedly fail to greet me when you see me?"

In Zeng Rou's eyes, Azhi was just a cowardly concubine's daughter. Combined with Fu Rong's description, she was certain that she was obedient and non-competitive.

But now Zeng Rou knew that all her guesses were wrong.

The other party is not as easy to bully as he seems, nor is he a simple and uncompetitive little white rabbit.

It looks like I'm going to be in trouble.

Zeng Rou pretended to be calm and bowed.

"This servant greets the virtuous concubine."

Ah Zhi was reluctant to let him get up, and this half-kneeling bowing ceremony was enough to make people stagger even after just one stick of incense.

Zeng Rou could no longer stand steadily, but she still lowered her head slightly stubbornly.

Finally, Azhi spoke, but unfortunately he didn't ask Zeng Rou to stand up.

"Cuizhu, it seems that Aunt Zeng Rou doesn't know the rules. Go up and teach her how a palace maid should behave when meeting her master."

Cuizhu knew that Azhi wanted her to humiliate Zeng Rou.

She stepped forward and nodded slightly to Zeng Rou, then stayed beside Zeng Rou and knelt down to pay her respects to Azhi.

"This servant greets the virtuous concubine."

Azhi raised his hand.

"Get up."

Generally speaking, senior palace maids in the palace can perform the bow ceremony when they meet their masters.

But Azhi was not prepared to let Zeng Rou go easily.

A good show is being staged in the Hall of Mental Cultivation today.

I have to hold Zeng Rou back and finish this good show smoothly.

I didn't expect Azhi to ask me to kneel down.

Zeng Rou's face was pale and there was a hint of resentment at being humiliated in her eyes.

Cuizhu, who had already demonstrated, turned to Zeng Rou and said softly, "Aunt, please."

Ke Zengrou remained motionless in the face of the reminder.

Ah Zhi said at this time, "Aunt Zeng Rou is already an old lady in the palace, why doesn't she know the rules?"

The word "old man" was emphasized.

Zeng Rou originally cared about her age.

Now, facing Ah Zhi's full-level sarcasm, she clenched her back teeth and her eyes became red.

Zeng Rou would not have been willing to suffer such humiliation, if she had not disdained to fight.

Then considering how obsessed Fu Rong was with herself, how could there be a chance that a virtuous concubine would enter the palace?

But she pushed herself again and again.

Zeng Rou raised her head, pursed her lips and lowered her eyes expressionlessly, like a lonely red plum blossom on a branch.

"Your Highness, I am the head aunt of the Yangxin Palace. Your Majesty never lets me kneel down to show my respect."

This was a warning and threat to Ah Zhi. She was serving in front of the emperor, and even the emperor would not let her kneel. Even if you were a virtuous concubine, how could you force her to kneel?

Do you really think Azhi was brought up by fear?

She just likes people with backbone. It really makes people want to break the other person's pride and crush him under their feet.

Ah Zhi leaned forward and smiled sweetly, "You are from the Yangxin Palace, but aren't you also a palace maid? His Majesty doesn't allow you to kneel, but has he issued an imperial decree? What does this have to do with me?"

Others were wary of the people in the Yangxin Palace, fearing to offend Fu Rong and lose favor.

But Azhi is really not interested.

She twisted her handkerchief and flicked it gently, then called out calmly, "Green bamboo, green bamboo."

The two sisters answered in unison, "We understand."

The next second, one of them grabbed Zeng Rou's hand, and the other kicked the other on the calf.

"what!"

Zeng Rou's face turned pale and she looked in pain. She groaned in pain with her hands on the ground.

It was such a piercing pain. My legs had been sore and numb from having been bent all the time.

If he was kicked to his knees like this, his knees would probably be bruised the next day.

Zeng Rou's tears burst out, but she still gritted her teeth, shook her head and stared at Azhi.

"My Lady, you are going too far."

"Too much? You're just a maid who makes tea. The master gave you some face. Do you really think you're the master?"

Azhi was not afraid of the threats at all.

Still laughing so hard that she was shaking with laughter.

She admired Zeng Rou's miserable condition.

Finally, Azhi laughed enough.

He pressed his lips lightly with a handkerchief, his voice slightly cold.

"Zeng Rou, I don't want to argue with you, but you insist on showing off your power to me. Even though I am a concubine's daughter, I am still superior to you."

The original body was so cautious and never had a conflict with Zeng Rou, and was even somewhat respectful to her.

But it still did not stop Zeng Rou from setting a trap, and through Fu Rong's hand, she humiliated the original body again and again.

Azhi is not a good person, and he does not have the noble quality of "I will not offend others if I don't offend me".

I'm just a little woman.

Not only is he small-minded, he is also narrow-minded.

Azhi's fingertips tapped lightly on the armrests of the sedan chair, and the crisp sound of her nails was pleasant to the ears.

"I heard that you were punished by the Queen Mother and required to copy Buddhist scriptures every day?"

"What a coincidence! I'm going to the Cining Palace. Let's go together."

Her eyes swept across Zeng Rou's knees.

"Stand up. There is no need to perform such a formal ceremony. I know you are very knowledgeable about the rules."

Zeng Rou tried to stand up but her knees ached.

No one came forward to help her, but just watched coldly as she trembled and leaned against the wall.

Finally Zeng Rou stood up straight.

But she still adjusted her posture, straightened her back, and pretended to be calm, as calm as a chrysanthemum, neither humble nor arrogant.

Azhi stared at her with a smile on his face.

I am quite proud now, but I am about to cry.
