"Oh, isn't this Concubine Shen and Concubine An?"

Seeing Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong gathered together, Concubine Hua raised her lips and sneered, "Why are you running outside instead of sitting in the main hall at this time?"

At the same time as Concubine Hua arrived, Lipin and Cao Qinmo also came out. When they saw Concubine Hua, they looked at each other and felt something was not right.

Lipin heard Hua Fei's question, but hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you don't know, the Queen dismissed the greetings, so everyone came out!"

Lipin originally wanted to please Huafei, so she was the first to run out and answer.

It’s a pity that Concubine Hua obviously didn’t appreciate it.

"Oh?" Concubine Hua turned her gaze to Concubine Li and said coldly, "Did I ask you? You just jumped out to answer. Are some people deaf?"

Shen Meizhuang knew that Concubine Hua was deliberately taking advantage of the situation and was targeting her and others.

After giving An Lingrong and Zhen Huan a soothing look, Shen Meizhuang took two steps forward, respectfully performed a temple-raising ceremony, and said, "Good luck to Concubine Hua! Since you have been late, the Empress has exempted everyone from the ceremony of paying respects and asked us to leave. The reason why I, Concubine Wan, and Concubine An are standing here is because we will all go to pay respects to the Empress Dowager next."

Shen Meizhuang's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but they answered Hua Fei's question and also stated what she and others would do next.

When Concubine Hua heard the word "Empress Dowager", her pupils shrank slightly, and she sneered: "Concubine Shen is so filial!"

Having said that, thinking about the fact that Shen Meizhuang had indeed won the Empress Dowager's praise recently, although Concubine Hua was jealous in her heart, she had to be considerate and stopped making things difficult for her.

She had often made things difficult for Noble Lady Fucha and Shen Meizhuang before. After the empress dowager found out, she would often call the two of them to her palace.

Although the Queen Mother said that she wanted them to help her copy Buddhist scriptures, any discerning person could see that this was a warning from the Queen Mother to Concubine Hua not to go too far.

Concubine Hua also knew the consequences, so she stayed quiet for a while, but would still flare up occasionally.

Shen Meizhuang was well aware of Concubine Hua's tricks. Apart from showing due respect and courtesy, she would no longer be subservient.

Unable to show a sense of superiority over Shen Meizhuang, Concubine Hua's originally good mood suddenly became unhappy.

"I am not surprised that you are going to pay your respects to the Queen Mother, but I am afraid that Concubine Wan and Concubine An will go without being invited, right?"

Hua Fei raised her eyebrows and immediately showed a mocking smile on her face, "Who is the Queen Mother? You want to please just two maids? Don't think that you can really fly up to the top just because you have been favored a few times!"

"I am truly horrified by what Madam Hua Fei has said, and I absolutely cannot accept it!"

Seeing this, An Lingrong realized that Concubine Hua was treating her as a "soft persimmon" to be squeezed, and her face immediately showed an "uneasy" look. Then she fell to the ground softly, but said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft: "I know that I was chosen by the emperor because of the grace of heaven. I always remember the teachings of the queen and serve her diligently without any slackness. As for meeting the queen mother, I have no other thoughts. I just copied and donated a copy of the Diamond Sutra with Wan Changzai before, and planned to present it to the queen mother to show my gratitude!"

As An Lingrong spoke, Zhen Huan also knelt down and said calmly, "The Queen Mother is a holy mother. The Emperor is kind and filial. He visits her every morning and evening, rain or shine. Although we are only low-ranking concubines, we dare not neglect the Queen Mother in the slightest! I hope that Concubine Hua will understand!"

"hehe!"

Concubine Hua smiled coldly and was about to accuse An Lingrong of flattery.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a pink figure came over and said loudly: "I was wondering why there are so many people kneeling again? It turns out that Sister Hua Fei is here!"

There is no doubt that the person who spoke was Concubine Qi who had just walked out of Jingren Palace.

She originally wanted to stay by the Queen's side and talk to her to comfort her, but the Queen did not appreciate it, so Concubine Qi could only leave in disappointment.

As a result, as soon as she came out, she saw An Lingrong and Zhen Huan kneeling on the ground. She originally planned to watch the fun, but Concubine Hua's presence was too strong. Concubine Qi noticed Concubine Hua at once, and then automatically imagined what had happened!

Although Concubine Qi didn't know the whole story, who made Concubine Hua so famous in the palace?

Whenever something like this happens, there is no doubt that it is usually caused by Concubine Hua!

"Your concubine pays respect to Her Majesty the Concubine Qi!"

When they saw that it was Concubine Qi, An Lingrong and the other two immediately turned around and saluted her.

Shen Meizhuang wanted to tell Concubine Qi the whole story, but before she could say anything, Concubine Qi shook her head at her.

"You don't need to say more, I almost know everything!"

Concubine Qi and Concubine Hua had always been at odds with each other, so she didn't need anyone to explain to her at this time, as she had already started to confront them head-on.

"Concubine Qi, what do you mean by this? So what if I am here? She wanted to kneel down on her own, can she blame me?"

Concubine Hua was already very angry, and when she saw Concubine Qi, she felt the same way, both of them disliked each other.

"Hahaha, Sister Hua Fei, what you said is really ridiculous. In front of you, two mere maids, dare you not kneel?"

Concubine Qi was sober at this moment, and was not fooled by Concubine Hua. Instead, she said meaningfully, "Originally, everyone gathered in Jingren Palace to pay respects to the Empress, but some people came late, but as soon as they arrived, they caused such a scene. I really don't know what they are here for!"

"Concubine Qi, stop making indirect accusations. If you have any objections to me, you can report it to the Emperor!"

Hua Fei taunted, "It's a pity that the emperor is so busy that he probably doesn't have time to see you. Do you really think you are noble just because you gave birth to the Third Prince? In my opinion, the Third Prince is burdened by having a mother like you!"

"You--!" Concubine Qi did not expect that Concubine Hua would actually say such words to her. The Third Prince was like a thorn in her side, so when she heard these words, she immediately widened her eyes but could not utter a word. She was obviously very angry.

"My queen! My queen! Are you okay?"

As Concubine Qi slowly fell to the ground, the maid Cui Guo who followed her immediately let out a sharp scream: "Ah! The queen has fainted!"

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan looked at each other and rushed forward to help Concubine Qi up as soon as possible, and then asked Cuiguo to inform the Queen.

"This has nothing to do with me! Concubine Qi! Stop pretending!"

Concubine Hua had never expected that a carefree person like Concubine Qi would be so angry that she fainted. Naturally, she thought that all this was pretended by Concubine Qi, so while she was talking, she wanted to expose her trick!

"Hua Fei! Don't be so presumptuous!"

But at this moment, the queen also came!

The Queen shouted in a deep voice, successfully intimidating Concubine Hua and making her dare not act rashly.

Having said that, Concubine Hua still looked dissatisfied.
