Chapter 71
Shen Mingyue looked at the furious Concubine Zhao in disbelief, and was very dissatisfied in her heart, "Concubine Mother, they are the ones who bully others too much!"

Anyway, she is a daughter of an aristocratic family, so she must always take into account her dignity as the concubine of Jin.

With a sullen face and sharp eyes, Concubine Zhao said sharply: "You are the concubine of Jin, what's the point of shouting like that?"

Then he glanced at the scar on Fu Shu's face, and said softly, "A girl's appearance is the most important thing. It's really pitiful. Back then, Shu'er's appearance was outstanding, who knew it would be like this."

Concubine Zhao showed sympathy, "Tell me, where did the injury on your face come from? I heard from others that you accidentally fell, but is it true?"

When Fu Shu met Concubine Zhao's sharp eyes, there was an inexplicable sense of oppression on her body, which naturally came from Concubine Zhao.

In public, Concubine Zhao Gui would naturally not help Shen Mingyue blatantly, and could only do so secretly.After all, they are a family, how can they speak for her?

This hidden knife made her have to admit that Shen Mingyue had nothing to do with her disfigurement.

In this palace, apart from Concubine Zeng Guifei who can compete with Concubine Zhao, the other concubines are no match for Concubine Zhao.

Even if it was Concubine Ru who was in the limelight a year ago, her favor overshadowed Concubine Zhao, but in the end she did not end up in the cold palace.

Although Fu Shu stayed in the boudoir, she never missed a single gossip in the palace.

After all, there were too few entertainment items in ancient times, and only Mrs. Zhang was used to her, even if she slept until she was exposed to the sun, no one cared about her.

Unlike other daughters of famous families, who have to abide by the family rules and make peace in the morning and evening, life is comfortable.

In fact, it's better not to marry.

But for the sake of the Zhang family, Fu Li, and the future of the Fu family, she can't be a salted fish. After all, the heroine is unreliable and can only rely on herself.

What's more, she still has a backer, doesn't she?
Concubine Zhao's power, how could she, the daughter of the Tai Tuo, resist?
Fu Shu lowered her eyes, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and said with a bow: "Your Majesty said that it was my servant who accidentally dropped it, and it has nothing to do with Princess Jin. It was my minister's slip of the tongue, please forgive me."

Although Fu Shu's appearance has been ruined, she has an elegant and gentle demeanor, exuding the air of a lady. Even if Concubine Zhao Gui has a grudge against her, she has to admit that she is indeed the best candidate for the princess.

There is no lack of bearing, appearance, and strategy, what is lacking is only luck.

Concubine Zhao secretly regretted that if the other party was as healthy as now, she would not have treated her like this.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhao's tone softened a lot, "Nurse Yu."

"The old slave is here." An old, well-dressed old woman walked out from behind Concubine Zhao.

It seems that the momentum is quite decent on weekdays.

"Go and get a bottle of Xuefu ointment that Fanguo paid tribute to recently."

"Yes." Nanny Yu's face remained unchanged, she just raised her eyes to look at Fu Shu, and left in a hurry.

Shen Mingyue looked pleasantly surprised, "Mother Concubine, what about the high-quality ice cream? My son heard that the products from that country are very good. They use pearls raised in sea clams to be ground into fine powder, and the largest ones are still used." The best pearls are of good quality. Such a good thing is worth only ten taels a year."

Concubine Zhao frowned proudly, with a smile at the corner of her mouth, "You are very knowledgeable, indeed. Last year, the offering was originally three. One was sent to the Bauhinia Palace, one was sent to the Xiande Palace, and one was sent to the palace. Now there is no need for the Bauhinia Palace, His Majesty sent two copies to me.”

"In this way, since it is a rare item, the empress will have two copies, which shows His Majesty's affection for the empress." Mrs. Wu hurriedly approached her, her tone of compliment.

"That's right. Your Majesty is the most beautiful woman in the world, and treats people generously. Your Majesty is the only one in your heart. The courtiers are really envious." Mrs. Chen flattered, not to be outdone.

Fu Shu recognized the two as the biological mothers of Wu Min and another concubine, Chen Shi.

Standing behind Mrs. Chen was a tall, pretty girl with a gentle look on her brows, which made people feel good about her.

Compared to Wu Min, this Miss Chen Qingqing is a ruthless character with a lot of means.It was also Shen Mingyue's military advisor behind Fu Mei.

As the saying goes, a barking dog does not bite, but a non-barking dog kills.

It was Chen Qingqing.

Compared with Wen Ting, who is humble and good at keeping her head down, Chen Qingqing's arrogance makes her disdain to do some humble things.

Tsk tsk, it's just a palace banquet, and several important characters in Li Xuan's harem gathered here, which can be described as quite exciting.

"Sister, where did you make the clothes you are wearing? I look very good-looking. My sister has a good complexion and skin like snow. The person wearing this red dress is more suitable than Hua Jiao." Chen Qingqing walked to Fu Mei's side , with gentle eyebrows and eyes, showing envy, and praised again and again.

Fu Mei saw that someone finally cast her eyes on her, she was still the daughter of the Chen family, her eyes were full of pride, and the corners of her mouth were raised. Considering the occasion, she said modestly: "My sister is ridiculously praised. These are clothes made by Jinxiu Pavilion. Let me see If it looks good, I try to wear it. Don’t talk about me, if my sister wears it, it will look better."

Chen Qingqing smiled and said: "How can it be? My sister has a beautiful appearance, how can she look like a willow like me? If I wear it, I will just be ridiculed and imitated. What do you think?"

Concubine Zhao carefully sized up the stunningly glamorous young girl in red, her fair and radiant face exuding a girlish air reminded her of herself when she first entered the palace.

Peerless in style, she was favored by the emperor as soon as she entered the palace, even the dignified and elegant former empress was no match for her.

Concubine Zhao's eyes darkened. For some reason, she didn't like Fu Mei at first glance, especially the carefully hidden ambition in Fu Mei's eyes, just like her youthful self back then.

Younger and more beautiful than himself, and loved by his only son, he looks more and more obtrusive.

Fu Mei's expression was awkward, and she said hastily: "The courtier's daughter is a swamp on the ground, and the empress is the bright moon in the sky. How can a courtier's daughter dare to be presumptuous?"

Seeing the way Concubine Zhao looked at Fu Mei, Fu Shu could feel her displeasure.

She suspected that Chen Qingqing did it on purpose, deliberately creating conflicts between Concubine Zhao Gui and Fu Mei.

The more beautiful and proud a woman is, the less she likes someone more beautiful than herself.

Especially Concubine Zhao Gui, who was once the most beautiful woman in the world.

"It's rare for you to obey the rules. I am old after all. Seeing you all young, beautiful and energetic, I am also happy to see you. Taking advantage of this palace banquet, I also want to thank you for saving Xuan'er."

Fu Mei was overwhelmed with flattery, "Thank you, Madam, this is the duty of a courtier, how dare you take credit for it?"

Concubine Zhao smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, "How did this happen? Now the entire capital knows that you risked your life to save Xuan'er, and you were seriously injured because of it. If I, the mother, don't express it, then Aren't you making the world laugh at you?"

"This..." Fu Mei was troubled, her face was ashamed.

This two-faced three-handed sword, openly speaking and sarcasm, all the people present are smart people, how can they not hear the meaning of the words.

Fu Shu sighed, she was indeed a master of palace fighting, and she forced Fu Mei to commit the crime obediently with just a few words.

"Since there is a misunderstanding between you and Xuan'er, in order to avoid affecting the reputation of your Fu family, I immediately asked His Majesty to give you a marriage to stop Youyou's mouth. I have to ask His Majesty for a favor. In the future, if the Xu family dares to talk about this matter, how about I be the first one not to spare him?"

After hearing this, Fu Mei's face turned pale and her body froze on the spot.

What kind of honor is His Majesty bestowing marriage on you?
But once the marriage is granted, you have no jokes, and there is no room for maneuver.

If Fu Mei dares to do anything wrong again, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor!
Fu Shu looked at Concubine Zhao in amazement, her expression was still, the concubine Zhao Guifei was so easy to kill without bloodshed!
It is inevitable to feel a little jealous in my heart.

She overestimated herself!
