Chapter 45 The Imperial Concubine Fell into the Hands of the Talented Lady Jin Again

When Shen Zhiyao arrived at the Queen's palace, the concubines were almost there. There were only a few concubines who came with her for the hunt.

Seeing Shen Zhiyao's happy face, Lady Qi was furious and suddenly asked, "Lady Jin can come with the emperor to hunt this time, and she has been in the limelight and can sleep with him. Aren't you very happy?"

Shen Zhiyao got angry when she saw her weird face, so she asked unhappily, "Why? Is Concubine Qi unhappy about following the emperor to the hunting party?"

Shen Zhiyao was warning her that there were many concubines in the palace and she wanted to come but couldn't, so she shouldn't pretend to be cool.

Lady Qi was choked, but she was not annoyed. Instead, she became more and more courageous and said sarcastically: "How could that be? I am naturally very happy to be able to come with the emperor! It's just that I am not as lucky as Concubine Jin, who can outshine all the concubines accompanying the emperor. Fortunately, the queen has outstanding hunting skills, otherwise, Concubine Jin would be the only one who stands out!"

These words were meant to deliberately create hatred for Shen Zhiyao, and Shen Zhiyao couldn't tolerate that.

"I know some crappy Kung Fu, but I know that I am far superior to the Empress. As a person, it is important to know yourself and keep your eyes on the right people."

Shen Zhiyao paused, and seeing that Lady Qi's face had turned the color of soy sauce, she chuckled and continued to refute without mercy: "Besides, what's the point of just staring? If you are really jealous, you might as well take some time to practice your skills. Concubines in the palace are most afraid of jealousy. Lady Qi, you know that, right?"

"You...you...you are so self-righteous!" Lady Qi was really jealous of Shen Zhiyao, and now her thoughts were directly exposed by her, she was almost angry to death.

"Well, whether I am really self-righteous or not remains to be verified, but it is a foregone conclusion that Concubine Qi has no talent for riding and shooting. I suddenly understand you. No matter how much you practice, you will only be at that level." Shen Zhiyao looked directly at Concubine Qi, her words full of sarcasm.

"Talented Lady Jin is really good at talking. You are just a talented lady, but you have such an unforgiving attitude. If you don't know, you would think you are a concubine ranked among the nine concubines!" Concubine Zhao felt offended and finally couldn't control herself and attacked her in person.

"I dare not. I am only a talented person and I know my place. However, I am often shocked by the attitude and tone of Lady Zhao Guifei. I think that even the Imperial Concubine, who is only lower than the Empress, is no better than this."

What Shen Zhiyao said was completely a satire on Concubine Zhao. She was just a concubine, but she acted like an imperial concubine everywhere.

Since entering the palace, Concubine Zhao had never been treated like this by a concubine. She was so angry that she was fuming and even her facial features were distorted.

"Mr. Jin, you will sooner or later fall into trouble because of your sharp tongue! You'd better remember this!" Concubine Zhao sneered sinisterly.

"Thank you very much for your concern, Your Majesty. I always remember it." Shen Zhiyao bowed with a smile, looking satisfied and indifferent.

"Talented Lady Jin, you have contradicted me many times, but I have never held it against you. Instead, you have become more and more arrogant! If I let you go easily today, all the palace rules will become a decoration!" Concubine Zhao said gritting her teeth, and then she approached Shen Zhiyao with a ferocious face.

"Empress Zhao's lesson is very true. I should reflect on it. But since Your Majesty wants to punish me, that's fine. Then Your Majesty must explain clearly in front of my sisters how I have contradicted and offended you. Otherwise, I will not accept the punishment!" Shen Zhiyao said fearlessly.

Concubine Zhao was so angry at the moment that she had no intention of reasoning with her. She just wanted to teach this self-righteous little concubine a lesson.

"Have you forgotten again, Your Majesty? This is the Empress's palace. Even if I have violated the palace rules, it is the Empress who should punish me. If you, the Imperial Concubine, insist on making things difficult for me, then I will ask the Empress to seek justice. If you, the Imperial Concubine, are still not convinced, even if you ask the Emperor to decide right and wrong, I will fight to the end!" Shen Zhiyao stood as straight as a pine tree, speaking loudly.

Shen Zhiyao looked straight at Concubine Zhao, her brows full of determination and her body emanating a ruthlessness that actually made Concubine Zhao feel like backing off.

"Jin Cairen has always been a straightforward person. Your Majesty, you know that. She must have just lost her temper for a moment. Why bother to argue with her, Your Majesty?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Noble Lady Lu hurried forward to persuade Concubine Zhao and give her a way out. She walked with Shen Zhiyao all the way, and Noble Lady Lu actually began to like her genuinely.

Concubine Zhao sneered and said, "She has a bad temper? She has a worse temper than a concubine like me! Concubine Lu is really well-mannered. She is still willing to speak for her. Does she really like Concubine Jin?"

Concubine Zhao was indeed vicious. She was still trying to sow discord and hinted to Concubine Lu that her child might have been poisoned by Shen Zhiyao.

"If Concubine Zhao really wanted to punish Concubine Jin, how could it be my turn to stop her? I just think that we sisters have finally had the opportunity to accompany the emperor on hunting trips, and it would be bad for us if we angered him because of a fight!" Noble Lady Lu was kind enough to give Concubine Zhao a way out, but Concubine Zhao actually hit her in the back. So Noble Lady Lu didn't hold back and defeated her.

Concubine Lu believed that "good words cannot persuade a damned ghost", and if Concubine Zhao just knew how to vent her anger without thinking, she would just watch the show.

"Even if the emperor knew about it, so what? The emperor is a man of great justice and will only reprimand Concubine Jin for being unruly!" Concubine Zhao snorted.

"Your Highness is right. The Emperor has just ordered me to go to the palace to discuss something at noon, so I will tell him what happened today." After saying this, Noble Lady Lu turned to Shen Zhiyao and said, "Lady Jin, since the Empress wants to punish you, she must have her reasons. Just accept the punishment calmly and don't be rude. Otherwise, if I really tell the Emperor, he will get angry and punish me."

Concubine Lu’s words were very clever. As for the so-called “angry punishment”, it’s hard to say who was being punished.

"You are so good, Concubine Lu! You...you guys are singing the same tune!" Concubine Zhao said angrily.

"I dare not. I am not as favored as Concubine Jin. I am really afraid of contradicting Her Majesty and being punished innocently." Concubine Lu smiled sweetly and bowed.

Concubine Zhao felt anger surging in her chest and really wanted to strangle these two damn women to death immediately, but Concubine Zhao calmed down and she still had to endure it.

At this time, her confidante, Concubine Qi, was also afraid that the situation would not end well, so she hurried over to hold Concubine Zhao and gave her several looks.

Concubine Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Humph, since Concubine Jin refuses to repent, I am too lazy to bother with her. Let's just forget about it this time! I'm putting it here. If you dare to do it again, I will not forgive you!"

"Your Highness, I will definitely not dare to do that again." Shen Zhiyao bowed with a smile, seeming very well-behaved at this moment.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp. Who could have thought that Concubine Zhao, who was always so domineering, would actually fall for Concubine Jin.

Concubine Zhao knew in her heart that after last night, Shen Zhiyao would probably be favored again. Although Concubine Zhao was arrogant, she was also a snob who knew how to judge people by their abilities. She really didn't have the courage to severely punish a concubine who was in the emperor's favor.

She was also afraid that the punishment would be too severe. What if the emperor blamed her? How would she explain herself?

Of course, Concubine Zhao was still worried about framing Shen Li. If everything went according to plan, Shen Zhiyao would definitely not have a good ending, so there was really no need for her to rush.

In Concubine Zhao's heart, Shen Zhiyao was like a grasshopper in autumn, and would not be able to jump for more than two days.
