The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

Chapter 126: Concubine Lan who steals bamboo shoots

Look at how arrogant Concubine Ye was in the past. Today, she can't do anything to Queen Shen Leyan.

She still has to lower her noble head.

Concubine Lan said provocatively, "Your Highness, why haven't you said a word today? Are you still harboring some illusions?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Concubine Ye. Even Yu Da Ying, who was usually too timid to look her in the eye, was secretly looking at her.

Who in the harem doesn't know that Concubine Ye used to think that the position of queen belonged to her.

In the end, she was snatched away by Shen Leyan. You can imagine how angry she was.

Especially what happened in the imperial garden last time, it spread throughout the harem.

Concubine Ye sneered, "Humph, Concubine Lan, have you forgotten the Empress Dowager's previous teachings? Do you still want to be confined?"

"Of course I dare not forget the Empress Dowager's teachings, but it seems that the Imperial Concubine doesn't take them to heart!"

It was not her who initiated the trouble today. If anyone was to blame, it was only the arrogant imperial concubine who was absent-minded and gave her the opportunity to take advantage of her.

She just wanted to help the Queen to rectify the palace rules.

Concubine Qi also seized the opportunity and quickly echoed, "Yes, the Empress just specially gave us something as a reward, but why didn't I see the Imperial Concubine thank the Empress for her grace?"

"Could it be that the Imperial Concubine doesn't like the gift from the Empress?"

"Or maybe the Imperial Concubine simply doesn't like her? She doesn't even take our Empress seriously!"

Shen Leyan felt a lot more relieved when she saw Concubine Ye being targeted by everyone.

It seems that Concubine Ye had already offended many people before she came...

This is what is called "those who do evil will eventually perish"!

so good!

Shen Leyan chuckled and put down the teacup, her eyes full of innocence and harmlessness. "I'm new here, and I don't know what the sisters like. These rewards are carefully prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to their positions."

"If the Imperial Concubine doesn't like it, I'll ask the Imperial Household Department to prepare a new one!"

Concubine Ye looked at Shen Leyan's innocent appearance and was a little unsure what she was up to.

The concubines beside her began to feel dissatisfied when they saw that she did not answer for a long time and was not willing to appreciate it.

"The Queen is truly thoughtful. Not only is she kind and beautiful, but she is also generous and considerate."

"In my opinion, since the Imperial Concubine doesn't like jewelry, why not give her a vase instead?"

Concubine Lan continued to poke her lungs, "It just so happens that the Imperial Concubine doesn't have any decent ornaments in her palace right now. This should be just what she wants."

After Concubine Lan finished speaking, the other concubines could no longer hold back and lowered their heads to cover their mouths.

She has a real mouth!

As expected, Concubine Ye's face was terribly gloomy, and her hands on the chair couldn't help but tighten.

She really couldn't swallow this...

It would have been fine last time, but this time, in front of all the concubines in the palace, if she doesn't vent her anger, I'm afraid everyone will dare to bully her in the future.

Xia He, the personal maid, clenched her palms anxiously. If the Empress couldn't help but lose her temper at this moment, wouldn't it give the Queen a handle?

This is exactly what the Queen wants, so she can take the opportunity to punish them!

She gently tugged at Concubine Ye's sleeve and whispered, "Your Majesty, don't be impulsive. Consider the overall situation!"

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about His Highness."

With the comfort of her personal maid, Concubine Ye gradually calmed down her anger.

Although Shen Leyan didn't know why everyone reacted so strongly to this matter, she would not try to stop it as long as the situation was disadvantageous to Concubine Ye.

Concubine Lan and the others were a little surprised to see that Concubine Ye was so tolerant today.

This is not like her usual style at all. Could it be that the lesson from last time has changed her personality?

Concubine Qi decided to add fuel to the fire. She didn't believe that Concubine Ye could remain calm.

She sighed deeply and said innocently, "Your Majesty, you may not know this, but when the Imperial Concubine heard about your entry into the palace, she was so angry that she smashed all the vases and porcelain in her palace!"

puff……

Can this be said directly?

Concubine Ye suppressed her anger and said, "How dare you! Who gave you the guts to gossip like that here?"

"How dare I gossip about the Imperial Concubine? Isn't this something everyone in the palace knows?"

"Sister Lan Fei, don't you agree?"

At this time, no one dared to stand up and speak for Concubine Ye.

Even Concubine Yun and Concubine Li, who used to stick to Concubine Ye, didn't dare to say a word and wished they could be invisible.

After all, the Queen is powerful, and now she has the help of Concubine Lan and others, so she naturally cannot be provoked.

Shen Leyan looked at Concubine Ye with a look of anticipation, waiting for her to give her an explanation.

Seeing this, Concubine Ye had no choice but to explain: "These are all rumors that cannot be trusted."

"It's just that the servants were incompetent and accidentally broke some things. How can this be related to the Empress?"

"I am very happy that Your Majesty can enter the palace." Concubine Ye said with a forced smile on her lips.

Shen Leyan raised her eyebrows, half smiling, "So that's how it is. Everyone has misunderstood the Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Lan also had a look of seeing through everything, "So it was done by a servant who was not doing his job well?"

"Why haven't I heard that the Imperial Concubine has dismissed the servant who made the mistake?"

"It was just an unintentional mistake. I don't bother to dwell on it."

"Your Majesty is so generous!"

"Hey, those are priceless antiques. This servant is so careless, he deserves to be sent away!"

When Concubine Ye heard this, her face turned pale and blue, especially the repeated calls of "servant", which were particularly irritating to her.

She gritted her teeth and said, "This servant has served me for many years, and I have some affection for him. I cannot bear to punish him severely."

Concubine Lan smiled softly, "Your Highness is truly kindhearted, but the palace rules cannot be abolished. If everyone behaves like this, it will be chaos in the future."

Shen Leyan spoke slowly at this time, "What Concubine Lan said makes sense. This matter still needs to be handled according to the palace rules."

"Otherwise, if everyone acts so recklessly in the future, the palace will be in chaos."

Concubine Ye secretly resented it in her heart, but she could only bow her head and agree, "Your Majesty is right. I will deal with that servant when I return."

"Well, that's great." Shen Leyan nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's end today's matter here. I hope all the sisters will be more careful with their words and actions in the future."

"You should control the servants in your palace and avoid causing any more troubles like this, lest it cause discord in the harem."

"Your servants/concubines will follow the instructions of the Empress."

Shen Leyan changed the subject and said, "In that case, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs assign a new group of palace maids to the Imperial Concubine's palace."
