As she was thinking, Yuan Mengdie's voice came over, "Ah, this is the new arrival Xi Huang, lift up your head and let me take a look at what kind of beauty you are."
When Yu Mengdie finished speaking, Shi Yuyin didn't say anything else. After all, everyone present also wanted to take a closer look at Xi Huang's demeanor.
Chu Lian smiled coldly in her heart, Yuan Mengdie must have come prepared this time. Since that's the case, she might as well play along with her plan.
Slowly lifting her head, a jade-like face appeared before everyone.
Looking at this familiar yet strange face, not only Yuan Mengdie, but also Shi Yuyin and others were shocked.
Chu Wanruo, who was sitting on the side, had a face full of hatred. A month ago, she received news from her family that Chu Lianruo would be entering the palace. At that time, she was still very surprised, after all, Chu Lianruo was the concubine of Prince Fei, and even if the Emperor wanted to bring her into the harem, he had to consider this relationship. But when she learned that Concubine Fei had died suddenly, even if she was foolish, she understood what had happened. However, at this moment, she still couldn't make a fuss about this matter, after all, it also had a great deal to do with her.
"Yu Wangfei's true successor is indeed Yu E, she looks like a mold carved out of one, truly beautiful." Shi Yuyin smiled and hid the shocked expression on her face, saying lightly.
Chu Lian's eyes rolled around, and she immediately lowered her head and trembled as she said: "I am just a mediocre woman, how can I compare to the noble and elegant Yu Guifei? Please don't embarrass me, Yu Guifei." The four simple words "noble and elegant" made Shi Yuyin's heart bloom with joy, and the previous hint of doubt slowly dissipated.
"You're quite eloquent." Yuan Mengdie hummed softly, her face showing no attempt to conceal her discontent.
Chu Lian had expected that her words would certainly dissatisfy Yuan Mengdie, but this was exactly the result she wanted.
Shi Yu Yin originally didn't like Yuan Meng Die, and now she was even more annoyed: "What does the Imperial Consort mean by this? Is it that you think Yu E's words are exaggerated or that I am not worthy of these four characters?" Shi Yu Yin stared straight at Yuan Meng Die. Although they were both imperial consorts, at this moment Yuan Meng Die had already lost her power to coordinate the six palaces, and in terms of rank, she was slightly lower than Shi Yu Yin by one level.
Yu Mengdie lost interest and coldly snorted, standing up and walking out of Qinghua Palace.
Chu Lian's eyes flashed with a hint of triumph, now what needs to be done is to provoke a dispute between Shi Yu Yin and Yuan Meng Die, let them truly tear their faces apart, and when that time comes, it will be much easier to defeat them one by one.
"Yu Chan, get up, I'm tired. All of you can withdraw." Shi Yu Yin lost interest after being disturbed by Yuan Meng Die and gave the order to dismiss the guests.
The many consorts and concubines naturally did not want to stay any longer, and they could hardly wait to fly out of the Qianhua Palace. After paying their respects, they all quickly walked out.
Chu Lian walked slowly with the support of Qing, feeling a bit stuffy in her heart, so she strolled around the Imperial Garden, only to coincidentally run into Chu Wanruo.
Chu Wanru was originally full of anger, and now that she had met her nemesis, she was even more furious. She quickly walked up to Chu Lianru's side, pointed at her nose, and began scolding: "You're really a sly and seductive woman, just like your mother! I knew you wouldn't truly care for me. You must have been thinking of using me as a stepping stone all along, and now you've set your sights on seducing the Emperor, haven't you?"
Chu Lian smiled slightly provocatively, and with a sidelong glance, she saw the bright yellow sleeve, lowered her eyes, and didn't respond.
You know the meaning of your words, walk up and say to Chu Wanruo: "Noble lady, you'd better be careful. Now, my young master's status is higher than yours. You not only don't pay respects but also speak rudely. If the emperor finds out..."
Chu Lianruo, although hanging her head, saw that the bright yellow had already walked over and waved her hand, saying in a low voice: "Forget it, let her go, sister's heart is not comfortable."
Chu Wan was already furious at this moment, and seeing Chu Lian's innocent appearance made her even more uncomfortable. At this moment, she hated that she couldn't flay Chu Lian alive.
"You little wretch, why must you put on such an act in front of me? Seeing you like this makes me want to chop you up into a thousand pieces." Chu Wanru shouted viciously, venting her discontent.
Listening to Chu Wanruo's words, Chu Lianruo smiled without a sound, looking at the figure getting closer and closer, her eyes flashing with a fierce hatred, which was immediately easily covered up.
"Sister... why must you..." A sorrowful expression on her delicate face, her gaze at Chu Wanru was even more pitiful.
Xu Rong had already heard their conversation from the side, and the contrast between Chu Lian's endearing expression and Chu Wan's ruthless face was striking. At this moment, Xu Rong's heart ached even more for Chu Lian.
"I'd love to see how you'll deal with the thousand cuts of humiliation." The voice devoid of any emotion echoed in her ears, and Chu Wanruo couldn't have imagined that she would run into Xū Róng at this time. She turned her head to look at the expression on Chu Lianruo's face, which seemed to be equally shocked. Without another thought, Chu Wanruo gritted her teeth and knelt down.
While Chu Lian was about to speak, Xi Rong personally reached out and took her hand, holding it tightly in his own.
She carefully measured today's Chu Lianruo, and the surprise in her eyes was even more intense. A shallow yellow palace dress tightly wrapped around her slender figure, with a light gauze outerwear on top. The warm jade hairpin pinned up her long black hair at the back of her head, adorned with only a few pearls and jewels. Her face was lightly powdered, although it didn't quite match Chu Lianruo's current status, but this makeup and attire were so well-matched that she looked like a celestial being fallen from the ninth heaven, noble and pure.
Chu Lian's attire was actually chosen long ago, in the harem where purple and red competed for beauty, brocade clothes and embroidered skirts were everywhere, gold, jade and kingfisher feathers were countless, but such simple attire, in this magnificent palace, was like a lotus flower emerging from the water, untouched by dust.
When Chu Lian saw the undisguised astonishment in Xi Rong's eyes, she sneered inwardly. Her past self had indeed been foolish and mistaken, to have fallen in love with such a man. But this was exactly what she wanted, so that she could carry out her plan for revenge.
"Your Majesty, my sister is just feeling unwell in her heart, so please don't blame her." Chu Lian softly said in Xiurong's ear, the lightly opened vermilion lips blowing waves of fragrant wind before Xiurong's face, directly entrancing Xiurong into a state of intoxication.
Xu Rong looked at Chu Lian with a warm and gentle face, then glanced at Chu Wanruo who was kneeling on the ground with an angry expression. Her disgust for her grew even stronger. Both were in this deep palace, both were sisters of the same family, how could they be so different?
"Since you put it that way, forget it." Xū Róng gave Chǔ Wǎnruò a stern glance, with a hint of an inexplicable smile on his lips. Upon hearing Xū Róng's words, Chǔ Wǎnruò thought she could escape this predicament, although it was Chǔ Liánruò who had asked for it, but at least Xū Róng wouldn't blame her.
"Let her go to the Cold Palace to reflect on her actions." Xú Róngfù said again before Chǔ Wǎnrúo could even express her gratitude.
When Chu Wanruo heard this, she was stunned. Why did she suddenly become a cold palace? She raised her head and looked at the triumphant smile on Chu Lianruo's face. Chu Wanruo somewhat understood that this was intentional, saying something to plead for herself, but actually wanting Xi Rong to dislike herself even more.
"Your Majesty, don't be deceived by her." Chu Wanruo knew that Xiurong would not change his mind again, and said loudly.
Xu Ronglian didn't even look at Chu Wanruo again, and with a wave of his hand to the eunuch beside him, someone immediately came out to take away the still crying and shouting Chu Wanruo. He then walked out with Chu Lianruo in his arms.
Chu Lianruo smiled, this is just the beginning, Chu Wanruo, do you think that entering the Cold Palace can bring stability? Then you have underestimated me, everything you did in the past, Qin Zhaixin will slowly take back for Chu Lianruo.
"You're new to this palace, are you getting used to everything?" Xū Róng said softly, with a doting light in her eyes that was not hidden at all.
Chu Lian nodded slightly, "It's all right, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Past events are like snow, a sweep and they disperse. The once gentle youth has changed his appearance, but the similar words still linger in her ears, as if it were just a long dream, bewildering and illusory. However, the real pain cannot be concealed, and the intense resentment will still clearly remind her not to show mercy at midnight when she recalls her dreams.
"Ruò ér, if there's anything you're not used to, just say it out loud, don't force yourself. What do you want? I'll give it all to you." Xū Róng lifted up Chǔ Liǎn Ruò's delicate face and gently stroked it.
Chu Lian's eyes sparkled like a pair of bright stars, her gentle charm drew out Xiurong's deep-seated longing. As their gazes met, it seemed intentional, and Chu Lian's face flushed with a hint of lovely redness.
"The Emperor's favor is so great, I fear that I am not worthy of it." The voice was low and melancholic, revealing an unbearable sorrow, accompanied by a subtle pursing of the lips, evoking deep sympathy.
"What does this mean?" Xú Róng was somewhat perplexed, and after much trouble, she finally brought her into the palace. Now that they could be together, wing to wing, how could there be any further complications?
Knitting her eyebrows, as if she had made a very big decision, Chu Lianruo raised her head and looked at Xū Róng with deep affection. Her slightly parted lips closed again, as if there was something difficult to express.
Xu Rong looked at Chu Lian's expression and already understood a bit, but it was not convenient to ask for the time being, so he said: "You can say whatever you want."
At the right moment, Chu Lian nodded slightly: "This morning, I went to pay respects with my wife, and Huigui Fei..."
"But she's troubling you?" Xū Róng slightly furrowed her brow.
Chu Lian's smile was as gentle as a breeze, and the soft charm that emanated from her bones was fully revealed at this moment, making it impossible to look away. "The Butterfly Imperial Consort must have had a great opinion of me."
Such a subtle sentence, when heard by Xú Róng's ears, took on a different meaning. Yuàn Mèngdié's cunning was evident to all, and even Shī Yùyīn wasn't taken seriously by her in daily life; as for Chǔ Liánruò, who had just entered the palace, she must be even more overbearing. Xú Róng slightly narrowed his eyes, and a sharp glint shot out from them.
