Chapter 520: The Money-obsessed Concubine x The Emperor Who Has No Heir (2)
As the year draws to a close, the palace begins to become busy.
Before Rong Xi entered the palace, he had intended to hand this matter over to Concubine Zhao. Later, because the Empress Dowager caught a cold, Concubine Zhao took full responsibility for this matter.
Everyone still went to pay their respects every day as usual, and then went to Concubine Zhao's palace for a short chat.
It was snowing outside that day. It was freezing cold and Rong Xi didn't want to go out. Just as he was about to go out, the Queen Mother sent someone to say that he didn't need to pay her respects. Upon hearing that, Rong Xi lay back without any hesitation and continued to sleep soundly.
As for the concubines in Concubine Zhao's palace, some were watching the show, some were adding fuel to the fire, and they were all saying that Jiang Rongxi didn't know the rules. The Queen Mother had sent someone to tell him that he didn't need to pay his respects, but Concubine Zhao didn't say anything.
Although Concubine Zhao is not the queen yet, there has never been a queen's harem. Now, except for His Majesty the Queen Mother, she has the highest rank.
Furthermore, the emperor has been resting in Rongxi Palace for more than a month, which makes everyone even more jealous.
It’s not like they haven’t tried to invite him yet.
For example, Concubine Li, the person she sent said that she had caught a cold and asked His Majesty to come and see her, but in the end His Majesty just said one word.
"If you are sick, go to the imperial physician. I can't cure you."
She smashed several vases when she heard this.
Concubine Ning also tried it. She wanted to have a child and was very direct in her words. She wanted His Majesty to go to her place to eat something, but the person who came back told her that His Majesty had already eaten.
When Concubine Zhao heard this, her expression became even worse. It seemed that Jiang Rongxi could not be kept.
"Go back, sisters. It's so cold and it's hard for you to make this trip."
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? In this palace, we have long regarded you as..."
These words were said by Concubine Li, who was naturally Concubine Zhao's lackey.
"Lady Li, be careful with your words."
Everyone returned to the palace quickly, and soon the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent New Year gifts to each palace.
In the past, the things sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were all appropriate according to their ranks.
But this year they all noticed that there were a lot more gifts on the gift list, and they all wondered if the imperial concubine gave so many gifts in order to win them over.
Regardless of whether this is the reason or not, some people have already sided with Concubine Zhao.
As for Rong Xi, she also received a lot of gifts, even more than Concubine Ning, who was also a concubine.
Rong Xi's eyes became increasingly cold as he looked at these things. They were all good things, but few of them were useful. What was more important was that many of the things here had additives added to them.
For example, there is the picture of Guanyin delivering a child, which has a very good meaning, there is the musk placed inside the wood of the scroll, there is the osmanthus fragrans in the tourmaline and pearl hairpin, there is the elaeagnus root and tonka bean in the bonsai of dyed bud narcissus and the round fan with pear blossoms showing the moon.
Okay, now we’re getting serious.
"Gardenia, put these in the warehouse. Do not take them out without my permission."
"Yes!"
Rong Xi touched her lower abdomen and thought it was time to let people know about the existence of this child.
As for Concubine Zhao, she used to think she was just a poor woman, and as long as she didn't do anything excessive, she wouldn't touch her, but now.
Rong Xi packed up and took people to express her gratitude to Concubine Zhao. When Concubine Zhao heard from the messenger that Jiang Rongxi had come, she put some rouge on her face before letting her in.
Rong Xi bowed politely first before sitting aside.
"Maybe I didn't notice it when there were so many people here before, but now I see it's really big, much bigger than mine."
Cui Yu, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Zhao, said with disdain.
"You don't know, Concubine Chun, this was given by His Majesty himself, so naturally it has to be bigger than other concubines' palaces. I heard that Concubine Chun was just a concubine's daughter when she was outside the palace, so it's normal for her to be curious about these things."
Rong Xi seemed angry, and turned around and ordered Zhizi beside her, "Zhizi, slap your mouth."
Gardenia was also very powerful. She took two steps straight up to her and before Cui Yu could react she had already been slapped twice.
"Chunpin, what do you want to do?!"
The imperial concubine's eyes widened in anger and she slammed the table.
"This is in my palace, and you are so presumptuous that you dare to hit someone in front of me. You are so brave!"
Rong Xi chuckled and didn't care.
"Your Highness, what are you saying? I am only teaching this ignorant maid a lesson on your behalf. Why are you so angry?"
She will be domineering.
She stood up from the chair calmly, walked in front of the imperial concubine, bowed and said.
"I am really sorry for what happened just now. I hope that the Imperial Concubine will forgive me. However, this little maid is really unruly and dared to be disrespectful to me. Therefore, I couldn't help but teach her a lesson on behalf of the Imperial Concubine."
As she spoke, she raised her head, looked at the imperial concubine provocatively, and continued.
"Your Majesty, you are of noble status, so you naturally disdain to argue with such a servant, but I cannot tolerate such a person being so presumptuous in the palace. Moreover, if she continues like this, won't she become more and more lawless in the future? By then, I'm afraid even Your Majesty will find it difficult to control her, right?"
After saying these words, she bowed to the imperial concubine again and then sat back in her seat.
"Chunpin, you are so ignorant of etiquette!" Concubine Zhao said angrily.
She didn't expect that Jiang Rongxi, who had always been obedient, would become like this today, and she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
She glared at Jiang Rongxi with anger in her eyes.
She felt that her authority had been violated by this little concubine and that she had to teach her the rules.
So she shouted loudly to the outside.
"Someone, come! Take Chunpin to the side room and make her kneel down. She can only stand up when she admits her mistake!"
"Hmph, Madam Concubine, you will regret this."
"Jiang Rongxi, do you know what you are doing? I am a noble concubine! And you are just a little concubine, how dare you be rude to me!"
"Do you think His Majesty will punish me because of you? I'm telling you, this is simply wishful thinking! Besides, your father is just a small Minister of Works. Compared with me, what is he? My brother is the fearsome General Zhenbei. Even if your father stood in front of me, he would never dare to be as presumptuous as you!"
"Oh, so!"
Concubine Zhao was very angry about her casual attitude.
"So, you'd better recognize your own identity and status, and don't try to challenge my authority. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
"I know I was wrong. I will kneel down now."
She admitted her mistake, but still acted arrogant and walked out.
Cui Yu watched the people leave, then covered her face and walked in front of the imperial concubine.
"Your Majesty, this Concubine Chun is really too much, we must not let her go."
"Go and see where His Majesty is and ask Him to come over. I want to see His Majesty before she does."
"Slave, go now."
Rong Xi knelt there for about half an hour before being released. Along the way, everyone saw her limping out of the Imperial Concubine's Palace, with a haggard face, as she was supported back.
