The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

In the past two days, some concubines in the harem often discussed Concubine Ye behind her back. Although they did not say it to her face, those rumors eventually reached her ears.

Although the concubines were still respectful to her on the surface, the way they looked at her was full of provocation and gloating.

This was when Concubine Lan and Concubine Lin were enjoying the flowers and chatting in the Imperial Garden, but they were seen by Concubine Ye who was passing by. Hearing their laughter from afar, Concubine Ye felt annoyed.

Concubine Ye took a deep breath and walked towards them with light lotus steps. She wanted to listen to what they were talking about and why they were laughing so happily.

When Concubine Lan, Concubine Qi and others saw Concubine Ye coming, they immediately stopped laughing and hurriedly saluted.

Concubine Ye smiled and said, "My sisters were chatting so happily just now, why did they all fall silent after I came over?"

Just now, Concubine Lan's laughter was the loudest and most arrogant, so Concubine Ye used it as a direct criticism, "Sister Lan, if you have any interesting stories, you might as well tell me."

Concubine Lan raised her eyes, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes but she quickly calmed down. Things are different now. She wants to see how long this glorious imperial concubine can be so proud?

She said softly, "Your Highness, these are just some gossips among girls in the boudoir. It's not worth mentioning."

Concubine Ye snorted coldly, "Seeing you laughing so freely, I thought it was some great joyous event."

"Isn't a big happy event about to happen in the palace? Isn't the Imperial Concubine most aware of it?" Concubine Lan had long disliked Imperial Concubine Ye, and with such a good opportunity, of course she had to ridicule her.

Everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths when they heard this. As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

Now the news spread throughout the palace. As soon as the emperor issued the decree to confer the title of empress, everyone's attention was focused on the Yiku Palace. They learned that Concubine Ye had smashed the vases and porcelain in the palace to pieces.

She had no intention of caring about the affairs of the harem anymore. One can imagine how much of a blow this incident was to Concubine Ye.

However, when the maids of Yiku Palace asked the Imperial Household Department to send some new porcelain, they were politely declined by the Imperial Household Department, saying that they were following the emperor's orders and that time was tight and they could not spare much time and energy to do other things.

Everyone in the Imperial Household Department is a shrewd person. Since they knew that the emperor favored the new queen, they naturally rushed to curry favor with the new queen, so they moved the best things to the new queen's palace.

When Concubine Ye heard Concubine Lan's words, her face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and said, "Humph, even if the emperor decrees to appoint a new queen, as long as she doesn't enter the palace, there will be changes."

"Besides, my authority to assist the six palaces was granted by the Emperor, and it has not been revoked. This harem is still under my command."

Concubine Lan, however, seemed to have heard something very funny, and said with a sweet smile: "Your Highness, are you still harboring fantasies?"

Because Concubine Qi used to be close to the Queen, she had been suppressed by Concubine Ye after the Queen's downfall. Today, she can finally vent her anger.

Then Concubine Lan echoed, "Now, who in the entire harem doesn't know that the emperor has made up his mind? Miss Shen is both talented and beautiful, and she has won the emperor's favor. How can anyone else compare to her?"

Concubine Ye was filled with hatred, but she still had to maintain her dignity. She raised her hand and pretended to casually adjust her temples, sneering, "Even if there is a newcomer entering the palace, the situation in the palace is constantly changing. Who can maintain their favor forever? Sisters, please be careful and don't add insult to injury."

"Your Highness, what you said makes sense. However, I heard that you don't even have a single decent piece of furniture in your palace. How about I bring some vases from my own palace over here?"

Concubine Lan's words really hit Concubine Ye's sore spot. She did it on purpose because she couldn't stand Concubine Ye's hypocritical look. It depends on how long she can keep pretending!

Sure enough, Concubine Ye couldn't bear it any longer and slapped Concubine Lan to the ground. It can be seen how much strength she put in.

Concubine Lan covered her face in disbelief and looked at Concubine Ye, shouting angrily, "How dare you hit me?"

Seeing this, Concubine Qi said with some bluffing, "Your Highness, you are so domineering, aren't you afraid that the news will reach the ears of the Emperor?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Concubine Ye glanced at the other concubines around her and said coldly, "Concubine Lan was the first to commit insubordination. I will teach her a lesson on behalf of the Emperor today. What's wrong with that?"

At this time, Concubine Qi, who was standing next to them, saw that something was wrong, so she quietly moved back and hurriedly called someone to report to the emperor.

Concubine Lan got up from the ground, her eyes full of cruelty, and she was even more vicious towards Concubine Ye in her heart. She secretly vowed to find an opportunity to take revenge.

Concubine Lan felt a burning pain on her face. She was a little panicked and wanted to go back to the palace to check. After all, her face was the most precious thing to her.

It was precisely because Concubine Ye couldn't stand her coquettish face that she slapped her hard, wishing she could disfigure her.

"stop!"

"Did I let you leave?"

Concubine Ye was still not really relieved at this time. She had never suffered such humiliation since she entered the palace. If she did not severely punish those who liked to stir up trouble today, she would not be able to get rid of the hatred in her heart!

Concubine Lan ignored her words and walked forward, but was stopped by the eunuch from Yiku Palace.

"Please stay, Your Majesty. The Imperial Concubine is calling you."

"You little slave! How dare you stop me?" Concubine Lan slapped the eunuch in the face without showing any weakness, and said fiercely, "Get out of my way!"

Unexpectedly, the eunuch was like an iron wall, not retreating at all, and still blocking Concubine Lan.

Concubine Qi leaned over to Concubine Lan's ear and whispered, "Sister Lan, let's bear with it for now. I've already sent someone to notify the Emperor. When he comes, he will definitely make the decision for you."

After hearing this, Concubine Lan gave up and turned back to the pavilion, "My Lady, do you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand in this palace?"

"I am the imperial concubine appointed by the emperor himself. Whether I can cover the sky with one hand is beyond my reach, but I am more than capable of teaching you, a concubine who does not know your place, a lesson."

Concubine Lan gritted her teeth, knowing that she couldn't confront the Imperial Concubine head-on now, lest she be caught by the Imperial Concubine.

She took a deep breath, turned to face Noble Concubine Ye, forced a smile, and said weakly: "Noble Concubine, I was impulsive just now and offended you. I beg for your forgiveness."

"I am just worried that the injury to your face is too severe. If it is not treated in time, it will leave scars and you will not be able to serve the emperor in the future."

"I have already admitted my fault. You have punished me and given me the beating. It is time for me to calm down."

Concubine Ye sneered, "Humph, you're scared now? It's too late!"

The imperial concubine was not moved at all by Concubine Lan's show of weakness. She knew very well that being kind to the enemy would be cruel to herself.
