Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 216 Du Fei confronts Xu Rou

Kunning Palace.

"Empress, when Concubine Xu came in just now, she didn't bow to the senior sisters. I wonder why?" Concubine Gao complained righteously.

"Oh, is that true? What do you think, Concubine Xu?" the Queen asked with interest.

Xu Rou stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, I did not salute you sisters just now. Please forgive me."

Xu Rou was also someone who could judge the situation. She couldn't deny that she didn't do the courtesy, so she might as well admit it. She would remember the bitch Gao Meiren and would make her pay someday.

Concubine Gao wanted to make her look good at this time: "Empress, Concubine Xu has already admitted it. If the sisters follow suit in the future, the harem will be in chaos. Concubine Xu is simply challenging the authority of the Empress."

Huang Ye: Well, this Concubine Gao is simply a master at sowing discord. With just one sentence, she even dragged the Queen into this.

"I didn't, I just forgot. When I wanted to greet him again, someone else came, so I haven't greeted him again." Xu Rou argued.

Huang Ye: Xu Rou is not hopelessly stupid. Just a few words made her escape. So, don't underestimate any fool. You may think they are stupid, but they may be taking advantage of you.

"Is that so?" The Queen's expression was gloomy and unclear: "Can anyone tell me what is going on?"

The hall fell silent. Everyone was not stupid. No matter how they said this, they would not get any good results. If they offended Xu Rou, they would offend the Queen Mother. They would not have a good time when they paid respects in the future. The example of Concubine Huang was still there.

To offend Concubine Gao is to offend the Queen. Everyone knows that Concubine Gao is the Queen's person. The Queen Mother only pays respects to her twice a month, but the Queen sees her every day. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is worse than the current manager. The Queen is their immediate superior. If you offend the Queen, you will suffer the consequences.

The queen looked majestically at the people sitting on both sides. She knew in her heart that as long as she became the queen, she would have to accept all these beauties in the harem, but she just couldn't adapt. Every time she saw these people, her heart was burning with oil and fire. Why didn't these bitches just die? Why did they have to enter the palace to bother her?

Seeing that no one was willing to stand up and take up the conversation, the Queen's face became even uglier. She exchanged glances with Concubine Gao without any expression. Concubine Gao suddenly turned around and said to Huang Ye: "When Concubine Xu came in just now, Concubine Huang was already there. If we talk about the person who knows the whole process best, it is Concubine Huang."

It's not so easy for the bitch Huang Bin to escape. For some reason, she just disliked Huang Bin. Perhaps it was Huang Bin's appearance and the disdain she showed towards her provocation that hurt her deeply.

"Princess Huang, tell us what's going on?" The Queen called out by name. Although Concubine Gao had a bad mouth, she was still useful. Now she had dragged in the person she disliked the most in the whole audience.

Huang Ye stood up helplessly. Look, this is the harem. She doesn't look for trouble, but trouble comes to her. It seems that she will encounter many such things in the future.

"Your Highness, I did notice that Concubine Xu did not greet my sisters. As for what she said about wanting to greet them again, I am not a worm in her stomach, so I don't know what she thinks."

Comparing himself to a bug, Huang Ye felt disgusted by himself. There was nothing he could do but tell the truth to escape unscathed.

"I was indeed preparing to greet you again just now. I hope Your Majesty can understand." Xu Rou insisted. Even the Queen couldn't do anything to her.

"Then Concubine Xu, you should greet everyone in front of so many people now, and let Concubine Gao calm down." The Queen seemed to be trying to smooth things over, but in fact she was giving Concubine Xu a warning, telling her not to think that she could get away with it with the Queen Mother as her backer.

Today is actually another game between the Queen and the Queen Mother's party. If Xu Rou's gift is made up today, she will not be able to show off in this Kunning Palace in the future. A word from someone who is higher than her can suppress her.

Xu Rou was not willing to greet Concubine Du and Lady Gao at all, but there were so many people watching. She had just said this in order to get out of the situation. Now the Queen was using her status to put pressure on her. Even if she was so angry that her heart was bleeding, she still had to consider the overall situation on the surface. Otherwise, the Queen would charge her with disrespect and it would be easy to punish her.

Xu Rou was a ruthless person, so she didn't hesitate and bowed to the ladies: "I greet you, sisters. Please forgive me for my impoliteness just now."

Concubine Du sat motionless, while Concubine Liang, Concubine Lin and Amy all stood up: "Sister, please sit down." Although they all knew that Concubine Xu had been forced into submission, they still had to give her a little face because the Empress Dowager was behind her.

"Sister Du, I don't know how I have offended you. You are sitting here like this. Does that mean you don't forgive me?" Xu Rou was not someone who could be bullied easily. She questioned Concubine Du with the idea that if she didn't live well, her enemies wouldn't either.

"Don't call me sister, I find it disgusting. How did you offend me? Don't you know the truth?" Concubine Du did not change her disgust towards Xu Rou at all: "You know what this ceremony you performed, and others know it too. Don't always treat people as fools."

Huang Ye: Du Yue'e is really not afraid of offending the Empress Dowager. After all, she is also known as the Empress Dowager's savior. Of course, she is not afraid of Xu Rou. With her position, it is difficult for Xu Rou to reach her position even if she climbs for a few more years.

Therefore, in the harem, only by actively climbing up can you avoid being stepped on. Huang Ye sighed in his heart: Just like Xu Rou, she obviously has an aunt who is the queen mother, and the emperor is her cousin, but Gao Meiren and Du Fei and others still don't take her seriously and step on her whenever they want.
