"Good luck to the Imperial Concubine!"

In Yikun Palace, Cao Qinmo and Lipin bowed to Concubine Hua together.

"Everyone, get up."

In response, Concubine Hua didn't even want to raise her eyes and directly signaled the two of them to skip the formalities.

If it were before, Concubine Hua would probably still be immersed in the joy of finally being promoted.

However, after going through so much trouble and making a lot of jokes in the middle, she was only given the title of "Royal Concubine" in the end. This was obviously not something to be proud of for Concubine Hua, and she didn't want anyone to mention it in front of her.

Cao Qinmo is a very smart person, how could she not know what Concubine Hua is thinking?

However, etiquette cannot be abolished. No matter what Concubine Hua’s attitude is, she cannot make a mistake.

Moreover, if I deliberately avoid her now, and Concubine Hua becomes unhappy later, all of this will become my fault.

Cao Qinmo had suffered a lot in this regard in the past, and of course she would not repeat the same mistake now.

"Forget it. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

The previous enthronement ceremony was already extremely cumbersome. Not only did one have to go to Shoukang Palace to pay homage to the Empress Dowager and the Queen, but most importantly, one had to listen to the Queen's nagging and teachings. This alone was enough to make Concubine Hua extremely annoyed.

It was only because the Queen Mother was sitting there that Concubine Hua could only suppress her inner thoughts.

It’s different now. After finally returning to her own territory, Concubine Hua immediately showed her lazy side.

When she said this, the subtext was very obvious: if there was nothing going on, then don't bother me and go somewhere cool!

"I am here to congratulate you, Your Majesty!"

At times like this, Concubine Li always takes on the responsibility.

She herself is not very good at judging the wind direction, let alone the skill of changing course with the wind.

So, when Concubine Hua asked, Concubine Li immediately spoke out all the words of praise that she had prepared for a long time.

"That's enough. I don't want to hear your nagging!"

It was a pity that before Lipin had said a third of her words of praise, Concubine Hua frowned and looked extremely annoyed.

"Yes……"

Being forced to "silence", Concubine Li was angry but dared not speak, and could only lower her head obediently.

"how about you?"

After successfully dealing with one person, Concubine Hua turned her attention to the other person and said to Cao Qinmo, "If you are here to congratulate me, you can go back now."

After all, it was her big "wealth" day. Even though Concubine Hua was not proud of it, she did not want to scold anyone at such a time, so her attitude towards the two of them was relatively gentle.

"Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, I witnessed Concubine Qi trying to curry favor with Concubine An, but was rejected. Then Concubine Qi was taken away by the Queen. I always felt that something was wrong, so I came to report to the Imperial Concubine..."

With just the right smile on her face, Cao Qinmo deliberately lowered her voice to appear mysterious.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Concubine Hua was indeed aroused a little interest, and nodded immediately, "This is quite interesting."

There is no doubt that Concubine Hua's words were instructing Cao Qinmo to continue.

This scene was seen by Concubine Li, who was standing by. She felt very indignant, but she did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction in front of Concubine Hua.

"Your Highness, according to my humble opinion..."

Cao Qinmo would not miss the opportunity to show his strengths, and would express his thoughts at this time.

"The Queen must have ulterior motives for calling Concubine Qi to her palace at this time!"

Cao Qinmo said, "Your Highness, please think about this carefully. Before, Concubine Qi had always been dismissive of Concubine Wan and the others. Why did she suddenly change her temper recently? In my opinion, there must be something wrong!"

"Haha, even you can see that this is very wrong, can't I see it?"

Concubine Hua was originally unaware of such trivial matters, but after Cao Qinmo said this, she also realized that something was wrong.

However, how could Concubine Hua, who is so concerned about her reputation, admit her carelessness in front of Concubine Li and Cao Qinmo?

"Yes, yes, your Majesty is right. I came to tell you this just to let you know that I have discovered something. Of course, I also know that such a small matter cannot be hidden from the Imperial Concubine!"

Cao Qinmo mentioned these things to Concubine Hua, with the intention of not only sowing discord but also trying to please her.

As a result, after he said this, Concubine Hua, who seemed to be uninterested, was really attracted by him, which was of course something Cao Qinmo liked to see.

Therefore, not only did she not disobey Concubine Hua's words, she also cooperated very well and lowered her posture very much.

Cao Qinmo's flattery made Concubine Li, who was just standing by, feel very jealous.

While Concubine Li secretly cursed Cao Qinmo in her heart for always doing such things, at the same time, her eyes revealed deep envy.

If possible, Concubine Li would have wanted to tear off Cao Qinmo's mouth and press it on her body.

She really couldn't understand it, as everyone was clearly following Concubine Hua.

Many years had passed in between, and if you count it, he had expressed his loyalty to Concubine Hua earlier than Cao Qinmo.

However, Concubine Hua liked Cao Qinmo more. When Cao Qinmo said the same words, Concubine Hua would smile from ear to ear, but when it was her turn to say the same words, she couldn't even get a good look.

Such "double standards" have long made Concubine Li dissatisfied!

But Concubine Hua has always been powerful, and now she has been promoted to "Royal Concubine". Even if she had three more courage than Concubine Li, she would never dare to speak out her "grievances".

"Okay, Lipin, if you have nothing else to do, go back first."

Just when Lipin was feeling sorry for herself, Concubine Hua seemed to have just remembered that there was someone like her by her side, and she waved her hand at Lipin and was about to send her away.

"Ah, Madam...I am not busy! I have nothing to do! Please let me stay with you!"

How could Concubine Li not hear the "hidden meaning" of Concubine Hua?

It's obvious that the other party is annoyed that I'm being in the way here, so he's making up an excuse to send me back!

But in Lipin's opinion, Cao Qinmo has been so presumptuous while she is still here. If she leaves, Cao Qinmo might slander her in front of Concubine Hua!

Therefore, Concubine Li felt that she could not leave.

Not only can she not leave, she also has to "fight" Cao Qinmo to the end!

"It's up to you then."

Concubine Hua had just said it casually. Since Concubine Li refused to listen and insisted on staying in Yikun Palace, she didn't care.

Seeing this, Cao Qinmo said nothing, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Concubine Li was full of "taunting".
