Chapter 529: Story of Yanxi Palace Er Qing 62
Although she said this, she felt sweet in her heart. The emperor was so considerate to her, which showed how much he loved her.
Emperor Qianlong smiled and scratched her nose, saying lovingly, "Don't be polite to me. Just take care of your health. I have arranged everything else."
As he spoke, he handed his daughter to the nurse beside him, and took Er Qing into his arms, saying softly, "I know you've been working hard, after the Queen Mother's birthday, I'll take you out to relax, okay?"
"Really?" Er Qing raised her head, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.
"Sir, don't joke." Emperor Qianlong smiled and kissed her on the lips.
In the next few days, Er Qing began to prepare for the Queen Mother's birthday. Although Emperor Qianlong said that everything had been arranged, she did not dare to be careless. After all, this was the Queen Mother's birthday. If something went wrong, she could not afford it.
On this day, Concubine Gao and Concubine Chun came together, under the pretext of visiting Er Qing, but in fact they came to inquire about the preparations for the birthday banquet and to give her a warning.
"Royal Concubine, you have worked so hard. You have to do everything yourself on the Empress Dowager's birthday. Don't overwork yourself." Concubine Gao covered her mouth with her hands, her tone full of "concern".
Er Qing could tell the sarcasm in her words, but she remained calm and said with a smile: "Concubine Gao, you are joking. It is my duty to share the worries of the Empress Dowager. I dare not say it is hard work."
Concubine Chun smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, her eyes full of sarcasm: "Royal Noble Concubine is right, I was worrying too much. I think in this harem, only Royal Noble Concubine like you can be so favored by the emperor and do everything for him wholeheartedly."
Er Qing sneered in her heart when she heard this, but she remained calm on the surface. She said calmly: "Concubine Chun, you are joking. The emperor sympathizes with my hard work, so he has taken care of me. But my sister, since you were released from house arrest, has the emperor ever visited you?"
As soon as she said this, Concubine Chun's face suddenly changed, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. How could she not know that the reason why she was confined was because of Er Qing! Now she was showing off in front of her, how hateful!
She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her inner anger, and said with a fake smile: "Your Majesty is very busy, I dare not disturb you."
"Sister, what you said is not right..."
Er Qing smiled softly with her hands covering her lips, her tone carrying a hint of sarcasm: "The emperor is very busy, but he still comes to my Yongshou Palace every day. This shows how important Concubine Chun is in the emperor's heart."
"You!" Concubine Chun was so angry that her pretty face turned red.
Seeing the growing tension between the two, Concubine Gao was secretly delighted and quickly added fuel to the fire, "Yes, sister, the emperor is very fond of the imperial concubine now. Everyone in the harem knows this."
Concubine Chun glared at Concubine Gao fiercely. Which side is this bitch from? She was obviously here to make fun of herself!
She knew very well that it was not appropriate to confront Er Qing head-on today, so she could only suppress her anger and force a smile, saying, "The Imperial Concubine is now a favorite of the Emperor, so I naturally dare not compete with her."
"What Concubine Chun said makes me a little panicked." Er Qing looked at Concubine Chun with a smile, but a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"I am only relying on the emperor's favor to host a birthday banquet for the empress dowager..."
Concubine Chun was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she was speechless.
Concubine Chun took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in her chest, but when she met Er Qing's teasing eyes, her breathing stagnated. She knew that she had been tricked by this bitch today.
"You're joking, Imperial Noble Concubine. I merely heard that you've been busy with the arrangements for the Empress Dowager's birthday, so I came to visit you." Concubine Chun forced a smile and tried her best to maintain her superficial calm.
"Visit?" Er Qing pretended to be surprised and smiled softly with her hands covering her lips.
"I thought my sister was worried that she had been left out for too long, so she came here to show her presence."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Chun's face turned paler than paper. She bit her lips tightly, almost breaking her teeth.
"Noble Concubine, you're joking. How could Concubine Chun be such a person? She must really care about you, Noble Concubine." Concubine Gao fanned the flames and smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
"Really?" Er Qing glanced at Gao Fei with a half-smile, which made Gao Fei feel a little uneasy.
Concubine Chun cursed Concubine Gao in her heart, but she still had to maintain a hypocritical smile on her face. This Concubine Gao was still calling her sister a few days ago, saying that they would join forces to deal with Er Qing, the bitch, but why is she speaking for her now? What a villain who changes his mind according to the situation!
Is Concubine Gao really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Not only did she not help me speak up at this time, but she even helped Er Qing humiliate me. What a brainless idiot!
"What Concubine Gao said is true. I am obsessed with my appearance."
Concubine Chun suppressed her anger and turned to Er Qing and said, "I just don't know how the Imperial Concubine plans to organize the Queen Mother's birthday banquet? My sister is new to the Phoenix Seal, and I can't help much. If there is any need, please let the Imperial Concubine know, and I will do my best."
How could Er Qing not understand the meaning behind her words?
She sneered in her heart, but remained calm on her face, saying lightly: "Concubine Chun is joking. Who in the harem doesn't know that Concubine Chun is the most virtuous and generous woman in the Forbidden City?"
Er Qing covered her lips, her tone full of sarcasm, but her upturned phoenix eyes were full of frost.
Concubine Chun almost lost the smile on her face. Was this bitch mocking her hypocrisy?
She took a deep breath, trying to maintain her calmness, and said with a fake smile, "Your Highness, I am too humbled to accept your praise."
"Why should Concubine Chun be so modest?" Er Qing smiled softly with her hands covering her lips. Her posture was indescribably charming and attractive.
"If even Concubine Chun can't be considered virtuous and kind in the harem, then who else can be called virtuous and kind?"
Gao Fei felt frightened by Er Qing's provocative look and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
She hated Er Qing's hypocritical face the most. She clearly wanted to trample everyone under her feet, but she had to pretend to be harmless. How hypocritical!
"You are joking, Imperial Concubine. How dare I compare myself with Concubine Chun?"
Concubine Gao replied with a fake smile: "Concubine Chun comes from a famous family, is well-educated and well-mannered, and is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager. Who in the harem would not praise her as 'virtuous' when seeing her?"
Listening to Concubine Gao's sarcastic tone, Concubine Chun cursed Concubine Gao in her heart for being a two-faced fence-sitter, but she had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
"Concubine Gao, you are joking. I was only doing my job." Concubine Chun said, changing the subject calmly.
