Chapter 289 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Thirty-Eight)

Gu Xiaoyu looked at Ma Chongyuan's gloating expression. Could it be that she felt that Sister Cui would have a scar on her forehead and that she felt she was more beautiful than Sister Cui?

Could it be that she thought that the Imperial Concubine was not seeing the people in the harem because she had a scar and was disfigured?

Don’t you think that you are naturally beautiful and that Concubine Cui can’t compare to her?

What a big face! Did she forget the first day when Concubine Cui came to pay her respects, and the people in the harem looked at Sister Cui's face that was like a fairy concubine, and were so amazed that they were speechless?

Although Cui Li was known as the most beautiful woman in Daliang, she was actually not ostentatious. She seldom attended banquets and usually only attended palace banquets.

After the wedding of Liang Sheng, who was the crown prince at the time, Cui Li rarely left the house and did not attend any banquets. She lived a secluded life and many young ladies had never seen her.

Girls change a lot when they grow up. The more Cui Li looks, the more shocking she becomes. When Cui Li came to the Queen's Palace for the first time after entering the palace, Ji Shilan was stunned for a moment when she saw Cui Li in a blue palace dress slowly walking into the door. Finally, she gave her a seat with a complicated expression.

After not seeing Concubine Cui for more than a month, Ma Chongyuan and others no longer felt awe for her beauty, but instead felt a bit more jealous of being favored by His Majesty.

Gu Xiaoyu wished that Concubine Cui would fall from the sky and let Ma Chongyuan slap her in the face. She would feel ashamed when she looked in the mirror.

Ma Chongyuan also hinted that Concubine Cui had not come to pay her respects to the Queen for a month. This was an attempt to sow discord!

As a die-hard fan of Cui Li, Gu Xiaoyu naturally had to interact with Ma Chongyuan and even drag other concubines into a verbal battle.

Queen Ji watched everyone bickering, ignoring the smoke of war between them. She let them leave only after she had seen enough of the fun.

Empress Ji: "It's getting late, so let's leave it at that for today. I'm still busy with my household affairs."

Queen Ji returned to the inner hall and looked at the mountain of household chores. She felt a headache. She was most impatient to deal with household chores, so she lay down and asked the maid to rub her head. She asked the head maid Xiangxiu to handle the unimportant household chores, and put the ones that required her decision aside.

When Liang Sheng arrived at Kunning Palace, he saw Empress Ji comfortably enjoying the service of the palace maids. Her chief maid Xiangxiu was looking at the account book. He raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

As soon as Empress Ji saw Emperor Liang, she quickly stood up from the recliner and saluted, secretly blaming Emperor Liang for not allowing anyone to pass on the message. Fortunately, she was not doing anything shameful, otherwise she would be depressed to death.

Empress Ji: "Why is Your Majesty here? Xiangyin quickly serves tea to Your Majesty."

Liang Sheng watched the palace maids busying themselves in an orderly manner, drank a sip of tea, and then explained his purpose.

Liang Sheng: "I received a letter saying that my mother had already left Mount Wutai at the beginning of the month and was about to return to the palace in half a month."

Empress Ji: "My mother has returned to the capital? Then I will order people to clean the Cining Palace again in preparation for welcoming my mother."

Empress Ji was a little surprised, but when she thought about how many things had happened in the palace, she knew that Empress Dowager Cui would definitely return to Beijing early after getting the news.

Liang Sheng: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother hasn't come back yet, just take your time to prepare."

Liang Sheng drank a cup of tea in Kunning Palace and left.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Cui hasn't come to pay her respects for a month. Could it be that her injury hasn't healed yet?" The head palace maid Cuiyun asked from the side.

Ji Shilan shook her head and did not answer.

Even if Cui Li’s injury has healed, so what? His Majesty said she is not healed, so she is not healed.

The emperor had solemnly made it clear to her that he would personally make all decisions regarding Concubine Cui.

She could do whatever she wanted with the other people in the harem, but she didn't dare to interfere in Cui Li's affairs.

In the matter of Concubine Xu, the emperor did not reprimand her for failing to manage the harem, nor did he punish her, so she accepted the emperor's favor.

Anyway, Cui Li is staying in Chengqian Palace now and won't be an eyesore in front of her. Even if her face is disfigured, it has nothing to do with her. She won't mention it in front of the emperor to avoid making him unhappy.

Xiangxiu murmured softly, "Your Majesty doesn't allow the ladies to visit Concubine Cui. Is there something strange going on that he can't let others know? Your Majesty, Concubine Cui wouldn't..."

Ji Shilan looked up and signaled Xiangxiu to speak frankly.

Xiangxiu gritted her teeth and hesitated, "Could it be that Concubine Cui is pregnant?"

Queen Ji: “Impossible!”
