There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 21 Provocation
How could Tang Waning bear the anger in her heart?

But facing Concubine Liu's courteousness, it was hard to accept.

After thinking about it, she took it and smiled.

"You have a heart!"

"Your Majesty, you are too polite." Concubine Liu laughed quickly.

"As a side concubine, the concubine should serve in front of you!"

"It's just not like some people who don't even step on your door for a day or two!"

She was referring to Concubine Meng, who was fanning the flames, Tang Wanning smiled coldly.

"She took care of the sundries in the backyard for me, and worked hard!"

"If you have nothing to do..."

Concubine Liu's eyes lit up.

Even if it's the sundries in the backyard, if the princess doesn't want to take care of them, she should have half of them.

How could she be reconciled to being taken away by that bitch of the Meng family now?
She was expecting the Crown Princess to say, 'If you have nothing to do, help me out! ', then she will be able to seize power openly.

It's a pity that we waited and waited for only one sentence.

"If you have nothing to do, stay at home and cultivate yourself, and don't make troubles!"

"After all, she is in charge of the backyard, so she should be more honorable than you. You must observe the etiquette when you meet..."

Concubine Liu: "..."

Coming out of the main courtyard, she was full of foul breath.

Looking at the two brocades sent to her by the princess, she became even more furious.

Back at Furong Residence, she immediately threw the reward on the ground and stomped it hard.

"Am I going to change something?"

"I worked hard on her, kept my head down and made small things, and this is all I got in return?"

"If I knew this, I shouldn't have gone!"

"I'm so stupid, I actually thought she could stand with me to deal with that bitch Meng!"

"It's more noble than me, I'm yuck!"

Siqing hurriedly persuaded her.

"Master, please keep your voice down, walls have ears!"

Concubine Liu was even more furious.

"What's wrong with me!"

"From now on, if I am stupid again, my surname Liu will be written backwards!"

……

main courtyard.

Seeing Liu's leaving in a rage, Tang Wanning felt extremely relieved.

"Master, that Concubine Liu obviously wants to pull you into the team, and wants to share the rights of Concubine Meng!"

"If you pretend to be confused like this, she might want to hold grudges!" Bi Luo was a little worried.

Tang Wanning didn't care.

"I don't care about that!"

"If she holds grudges, she will hold grudges! I'm still afraid that she won't succeed?"

"That's right!" Bi Yue said proudly.

"Although our master disdains intrigue, we won't let them bully us!"

"My sister is too worried!"

Bi Luo glared at her and said no more.

"This tortoise paste looks good, I don't like to eat it, you two share it!"

The things sent by Liu side concubine Baba must be of the highest quality, it would be a pity to waste them.

Biyue and Biluo looked at each other, and they agreed in unison.

Tang Wanning nodded in satisfaction, got up to take a shower and went to sleep.

……

next month.

The wives were still busy competing for favor, Tang Wanning was busy practicing arrows, and the backyard was peaceful.

The only thing that was not calm was that Tang Wanning fell out of favor.

To be exact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not been in the main courtyard for almost a month.

Even the days like the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year were spent at the side of Concubine Meng and Concubine Liu.

Tang Wanning didn't feel anything, but the women in the backyard did.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really despises the Crown Princess!

Concubine Liu was very proud: "That woman also has today? I was really blind before!"

Concubine Meng was also secretly proud: "That's right, one step closer to the position of Crown Princess!"

As for Gao Liangyuan, Du Liangyuan, and Tao Liangyuan, the three women were their masters, fighting secretly. This calmness was nothing more than superficial calmness.

It had just rained and the weather was cool.

Concubine Liu side was newly favored, just because of the spring breeze, she dressed up beautifully and took the maids to the back garden to enjoy the scenery.

I wanted to sit by the pond, drink tea and eat snacks, and see if I can meet the prince by the way.

Unexpectedly, instead of meeting the prince, he met the princess who was practicing archery.

She stood far away on the path behind the rockery, squinting her almond eyes and laughing all over her face.

"I heard... the Crown Princess has been out of favor for a month?"

"Isn't it?" Nian Xia stepped forward and said proudly.

"I heard that the last time the Crown Princess saw the Crown Prince, she also practiced arrows here!"

Concubine Liu smiled contemptuously.

"Perhaps she thinks she can seduce the crown prince!"

"Let's go and have a look!"

"Yes!" Nian Xia looked proud.

At the beginning, the princess who was vigorous and resolute like a tigress beat her [-] boards, and now she can be reduced to this situation, what an eye-opener from God.

……

"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu is here!"

When Tang Wanning was practicing vigorously, Biyue whispered in her ear.

"Oh?"

She narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, aimed at the bull's-eye fifty paces away, and released the three arrows in her hand with a bang.

"Why is she here again?"

Before the words were finished, Concubine Liu came here with the maids in a beautiful manner.

Tang Wanning put down the bow and arrow in her hand, took the sweat towel from Biyue, and sat down at the four-cornered stone table not far away.

After wiping off his sweat and taking a sip of tea, side concubine Liu had already arrived.

"Greetings to the Crown Princess!" She saluted hastily and symbolically.

Tang Wanning raised her eyebrows, drank the tea in her hand, and soon returned to her smile.

"It's a hot day, sister Liu is really in a good mood!"

Concubine Liu straightened her body on her own.

"It's cool today, isn't the princess concubine in a good mood?"

"His Royal Highness said that he was always bored in the house, and asked me to come and visit the garden more! I'm here, so I didn't disturb the princess!"

Tang Wanning picked up the cup of tea and took a sip, then smiled lightly.

"Of course not!"

Concubine Liu didn't wait for others to let her go, she sat down beside the stone table, looked Tang Wanning up and down, and smiled while holding the delicate hairpin by her ear.

"Prince Concubine is worthy of being born in the general family, she really...women don't give in to their eyebrows!!"

"It's not like those of us who grew up in deep boudoir, only know some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poems and songs!"

It was an ordinary sentence, but when it came out of Concubine Liu's mouth, it seemed a bit... weird.

Is it to show off or to laugh at?Tang Wanning didn't care about it.

She put the teacup aside, got up and picked up her black bearskin bow and arrow, and watched it carefully, as if she didn't hear her speak.

Concubine Liu's tongue was almost slipped out, she sat there and neither left nor stayed, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Gradually, the small flame in her chest swelled up.

Oh, why?It's just a princess who has fallen out of favor, what's there to mess with?

In the past, I used all my strength to flatter me, but this master seemed blind and didn't see.

Now that I am favored, what else is there to be afraid of?

She thought for a while, then set her eyes on the small tea stove on the stone table, her eyes rolled and she got an idea.

"The princess concubine is well prepared, and the tea stove and snacks are really exquisite! The concubine can smell the fragrance from far away!"

Tang Waning: "..." I won't answer, let's see what you want.

Bi Yue: "..." She didn't want to talk to her, and rolled her eyes.

Seeing that the other party was indifferent, Concubine Liu simply said cheekily.

"Good sister!"

"It's really hot today, can you...give me a sip of tea for my sister!"

Tang Wanning suddenly wanted to see what she was going to do, so she smiled immediately.

"Biyue, serve tea!"
