After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Chapter 181 No one has stipulated that I am not allowed to sing Kunqu Opera in the Imperial Garden

Yi Chongrong stopped immediately when she saw them. She was wearing a green costume and her makeup was done according to that of a folk opera performer.

The two men stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings to Her Majesty Chongrong."

"It's you!"

Xu Chongyuan looked at her with disdain and covered her mouth with her hands to laugh, "Empress Chongrong is really in a refined mood! She is singing Kunqu Opera in this imperial garden?"

"No one has stipulated that I am not allowed to sing Kunqu Opera in the Imperial Garden." Yi Chongrong said in a deep voice with a gloomy face.

Lady Li joked, "Empress Chongrong, you are now His Majesty's concubine, and one of the nine concubines. You are no longer the dancer in the palace. You are losing your status by doing this."

Caiwei, who was standing aside, lowered her head and felt a little ashamed. She had advised her in advance that this method of competing for favor was not acceptable, but she insisted on doing it.

What Yi Chongrong is most reluctant to mention now is her former identity as a dancer. "I was indeed a dancer, but now I am your Majesty's concubine. It is not your turn to interfere with what I do."

Before Lady Li could say anything else, Xu Chongyuan stopped her and said to Yi Chongrong, "Then Lady Li and I will take our leave first. Please do as you please."

"Let's go!" Xu Chongyuan pulled Li Meiren away.

After they left, Caiwei stepped forward and advised, "Your Majesty, what Lady Li said makes sense. After all, you are now His Majesty's concubine. It is indeed against the rules to do this."

"Then what else can I do? You think of a plan for me." Yi Chongrong yelled at her. His Majesty refused to see her now, and the Queen Mother was torturing her like this.

Now, any prominent figure in the palace can humiliate her at will. If she does so to please His Majesty, does she have to wait until His Majesty completely forgets about her?

Yi Chongrong's face was full of grievance and tears welled up in her eyes, but she raised her head stubbornly, refusing to let the tears fall. She would not give in like this.

Caiwei had nothing to say, "I am too talkative."

Yi Chongrong continued to sing, and the palace people passing by showed strange expressions.

Weiyang Palace

Shuang Ning walked in with a smile on her face. Biluo asked, "What's wrong? Why are you smiling so happily?"

"I just heard from the young eunuch that Yi Chongrong is singing Kunqu Opera in the Imperial Garden." Shuang Ning covered her mouth and laughed.

"Singing Kunqu Opera?" Biluo frowned slightly. This...

"Yeah! I don't know what she was thinking? Singing Kunqu Opera in the Imperial Garden?"

Zi Rui helped Zheng Xiyan walk over and asked, "What are you talking about, the two of you?"

"Your Majesty, Yi Chongrong is singing Kunqu Opera in the Imperial Garden." Shuang Ning had an expression as if she was enjoying a good show.

"Kunqu Opera?" Zheng Xiyan was slightly surprised, but after thinking about Yi Chongrong's current situation, she said, "She wants to regain the favor of His Majesty, but using such means will only make the Queen Mother hate her even more. It's really inappropriate."

"Yes! I heard that after Xu Chongyuan and Lady Li left Weiyang Palace, they met Yi Chongrong. Lady Li kindly reminded her, but Yi Chongrong obviously didn't accept it."

Biluo laughed and said, "Then you can't blame others."

"Yes!"

It is understandable that Yi Chongrong wants to win favor, but this will certainly anger her mother. If such a thing really happens at a palace banquet in the future, it will be really inappropriate in front of so many princes and ministers.

Zheng Xiyan said in a cold voice: "Give the order to spread this matter to the harem as soon as possible, preferably to the Zichen Hall and Shoukang Palace as soon as possible." It would be best to give up her intention now to avoid doing more ridiculous things in the future.

Biluo smiled and agreed, "Yes! I will do it now."

Before dark, the matter spread throughout the harem and naturally reached the ears of Xiao Xuanchen and the Queen Mother.

Shoukang Palace

The Empress Dowager was having dinner when Nanny Yu walked in, "The Empress Dowager."

"what happened?"

Yu Ma Ma whispered, "This afternoon, Yi Chongrong sang Kunqu Opera in the Imperial Garden all afternoon."

The Queen Mother's face changed drastically. "What did you say?"

Nanny Yu said, "Yi Chongrong sang Kunqu Opera in the Imperial Garden for the whole afternoon."

"How disgraceful?" The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, looking intimidating without even getting angry.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"What kind of place is she calling the harem? A stage? The emperor's concubine sang Kunqu opera in the imperial garden for an entire afternoon. What kind of rumors would that be? "

Yu Ma Ma helped the Empress Dowager to stand up. "Send someone to Yihua Palace. I want to summon her. I asked her to copy Buddhist scriptures for such a long time. The Emperor also ordered her to copy the palace rules. What has she learned?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't get yourself in trouble by getting angry." Nanny Yu advised.

"She was born in a humble family. Even after becoming a concubine, she couldn't change her character." The Empress Dowager became more and more dissatisfied with her.

"Don't be angry, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother calmed down and said, "Go to Weiyang Palace and invite the Queen."

"Empress Dowager, it's so late. Why should the Queen make another trip? She's still pregnant." Nanny Yu advised.

"She is the mistress of the harem. How could she not be present when the concubines did such a ridiculous thing?" The Queen Mother said coldly.

"Yes!" Nanny Yu didn't dare to disobey anymore, so she bowed and went out.

Yihua Palace

Yi Chongrong sang Kunqu opera for an entire afternoon and her voice became a little hoarse and she felt very tired.

But she still failed to attract His Majesty, and she was feeling depressed. Caiwei massaged her shoulders and back, fearing that she would get angry again and scold herself.

At this time, the little palace maid came in and said, "Madam, Madam Ru from Shoukang Palace is here."

"What is she doing here?" Yi Chongrong's face changed slightly. It was so late, could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to summon her to copy Buddhist scriptures?

"This slave doesn't know."

"Let her in!" Yi Chongrong said unhappily.

"Yes!"

Madam Ru came in and saw her like this, still in her costume, and said, "This servant greets Empress Chongrong."

"No need to be polite, Ma'am." Yi Chongrong pretended to welcome her with a smile.

"The Empress Dowager asks Empress Chongrong to come to Shoukang Palace."

Yi Chongrong felt uneasy and said carefully, "It's so late now, it's already dark, why is the Queen Mother in such a hurry to see me?"

"I don't know, you will know when you go there." Nanny Ru said expressionlessly.

Yi Chongrong saw her costume and said, "Madam, wait a moment. I will change my clothes first."

Madam Ru said coldly, "Empress Chongrong, the Empress Dowager has summoned you, so you'd better not delay."

Yi Chongrong was instantly displeased. She was tired and hungry, and she hadn't even had dinner yet.

"Empress Chongrong, please come in!"

Yi Chongrong shook her sleeves and walked out. Caiwei wanted to stop her and ask her to change her costume, but she was afraid of being scolded, so she kept silent.

Weiyang Palace

Nanny Yu came to Weiyang Palace in person. Zheng Xiyan had already had dinner. She had dinner early today, so she guessed that the Queen Mother would summon her tonight.

"Your Majesty, Nanny Yu is here." Biluo said in a deep voice.

Zheng Xiyan said calmly, "Please come in."

"Yes!"

"Madame Yu, please."
