”Empress!” Ah Hong had added Jasmine and purple sandalwood petals to the tea leaves, so the special fragrance would also help the Empress to sleep soundly. The Empress has been working hard all day, so she must be exhausted. Quickly drink some tea and rest up! ” Ahong said respectfully.
”Good!” ”Ahong, all these years, it was fortunate to have you, a close confidant, serving me by my side.”
Xiao Fei lifted the white jade teacup and was about to drink the tea …
Suddenly, another servant girl rushed in, flustered.
”Empress!” Empress! Something terrible has happened! ”
”What is it?” ”It's all flustered and flustered!”
”Empress!” The wangfei is here, saying that she wants to scold you! ”
”Princess? Which princess? ”How dare you be so impudent!”
”She's the new wangfei of the fourth prince!”
”Tell her that I have already rested, and that she should come and seek an audience with me!”
Hearing that it was Bing Ying, Xiao Fei felt a headache and quickly refused to see her.
He raised the teacup in his hand once again …
”I'm here!”
Suddenly, a sharp voice came from the door!
”Do you have etiquette and rules? You actually dared to trespass into my sleeping quarters without permission! ”
Xiao Fei's expression was ugly.
”Didn't you already report it? It's just that you didn't agree to it, Xiao Fei. ”
Bing Ying said calmly.
”All right. What are you doing here? After speaking, he immediately left. I'm going to rest. ” Xiao Fei said helplessly.
”Esteemed wangfei, I've come to find you today not because you're esteemed wangfei or because I'm an imperial concubine, but because I'm a daughter-in-law to meet my own mother-in-law!” Bing Ying said.
”Wife and mother-in-law? Fine! Interesting. Tell me why you're here. ”
Xiao Fei wasn't really angry, but rather put down her teacup, interested to know what kind of joke Bing Ying was making.
”Can we talk like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? If I say anything offensive, please don't blame me. ”
”Good!” ”Then, if we throw aside our status as royalty, I, this mother-in-law, would really like to know what you want to say.”
”There is one more point that I would like to make first. I did not come here on Nangong Xiu's initiative. It was my own idea. ”
”So, what you want to say has something to do with my son?”
”Yes sir!”
”I am all ears.”
There was a royal grace and calmness to her every word and gesture.
Beautiful smile, kind and kind.
However, Bing Ying now knew that the smile was fake. It was very fake! Very fake!
Bing Ying thought for a moment. ”Esteemed Empress Xiao.” Can you share your thoughts on Nangong Xiu? ”
Xiao Fei was startled, and then said: ”Xiu is a very filial person! ”Smart, patient, handsome, brave, calm …”
Bing Ying said, ”Then what about compared to the Second Prince?”
”Second Imperial Son?”
Xiao Fei looked at Bing Ying in surprise. ”What are you trying to say?”
Bing Ying said, ”Esteemed Xiao Han already guessed what I wanted to say, didn't she?”
Xiao Fei looked displeased. ”If you want to talk about the prince's duel tonight, then please leave!”
Bing Ying said, ”Empress! You just said a lot about Nangong Xiu's personality. She's smart, patient, and beautiful … He was right! But, I forgot his most important thing — — loneliness! ”
Xiao Fei was slightly angry. ”What nonsense are you spouting? Xiu had been doted upon since she was young. As a prince, she had grown up in the service of a group of palace maids and eunuchs. Where does loneliness come from? ”
Bing Ying said coldly: ”Rich? How important do you think wealth is? More important than fatherly love? More important than maternal love? To you, it's definitely more important than the affection between mother and son, right? ”
”How dare you!”
Xiao Fei was finally angry!
She was a noble concubine, and even the empress had to be wary of her.
This Bing Ying, she actually dared to offend him and humiliate him in front of him!
This was too presumptuous!
Bing Ying continued, ”Since it is a prince's competition, it should be carried out fairly. You let him deliberately lose to the Second Prince, have you thought about how he would feel? ”
”How did he feel? He wanted his brother to build up his prestige so that he could have the chance to become emperor in the future. He could also become a king, and be above everyone else and enjoy wealth! Isn't this much better than what he felt? ”
”Did you ask him?” Did he want to be a prince, or did he need the attention and affirmation of his mother? As a mother, you only impose your thoughts on him. Don't you think you're being too selfish? Have you ever thought about how much inferiority and loneliness you would make him feel as a son with such obvious bias? ”
”Impudent!” Are you questioning me now? ” Xiao Fei flew into a rage, her expression fierce.
”I'm questioning an unqualified mother, not the exalted, exalted mufei!”
Bing Ying looked fearless.
She would not give in to imperial power.
”If you think that the Emperor bestowing you with the title of a first-class Royal Consort would make you even more impudent and disrespectful, you would sooner or later die a horrible death! If it had been anyone else, they would have been decapitated by now! But since you are the princess consort of Xiu, I won't bother with you today! You must remember this from now on! In this court, a war could break out at any time. You have to recognize who your enemy is, and who your family is! Don't be so reckless in the future! Kneel down! Someone come, send Imperial Concubine Xiu out of the palace! ”
Xiao Fei was so angry that her heart rose and fell.
This Bing Ying really gave people a headache!
If it weren't for the fact that she and Empress Chen were fighting openly and secretly in the palace, the fight for the throne between the First and Second Princes would have been more and more intense.
Xiao Fei was determined to deal with Bing Ying!
However, Bing Ying was even more angry!
”You're too unreasonable!”
”However, I want to tell you this. If there is a day when Nangong Xiu does something out of line or is harmed, the culprit would be a disqualified mother like you!”
Bing Ying said passionately: ”As a woman, you're beautiful and noble, holding supreme power in your harem. You're simply the epitome of all women in the world! But I despise you! You are not worthy of being a mother at all! ”
