Chapter 795: Anping Doesn’t Rely on Reputation to Make a Living
Shen Xia and Su Yao actually had no idea what they would encounter.
As for Shen Xia, she regretted that she should not have exposed someone like Su Yao who was capable but had little background to the public.
She should have been allowed to teach others from the beginning.
It’s okay for me to suffer a little humiliation later, but Su Yao has a child, what should I do?
Shen Xia suddenly took out a bottle of Qi-nourishing pills from the space.
He poured one out and whispered to Su Yao, "Just in case, Yao, take one first."
Su Yao didn't hesitate at all, took it, put it in her mouth, and swallowed it dry. "
Just as the two were worried, the sedan chair finally arrived at Concubine Rong's palace.
Shen Xia looked up at the large characters "Jinhua Palace" written in a flamboyant style on the gate.
That character is the same as Concubine Rong's.
Very domineering and sharp.
The little palace maid glanced at Shen Xia gently, then bowed and said, "Princess Anping, please."
After Shen Xia and Su Yao followed the little palace maid in.
I saw Concubine Rong standing in the main hall, with the painting she had painted next to her.
This painting is not damaged except by water stains on the face.
Other places are already colorfully painted.
I saw that Concubine Rong's hand was still on the painting.
As if admiring it.
Shen Xia led everyone and said, "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed."
Shen Xia was standing, but Su Yao, Hong Yang and Ji Xiang had to kneel down to pay their respects.
If Concubine Rong didn't shout, she wouldn't be able to get up.
Shen Xia might have lived too recklessly, so this was the first time she encountered such an embarrassing situation but was completely helpless against it.
This is Concubine Rong's palace. She is alone and powerless, so it is better for her to mind her own business!
This is different because it has weaknesses.
If it were just me, Concubine Rong wouldn't dare to touch me.
But it's different now.
It was a long time before Concubine Rong took her hands off the painting.
Turning around and looking at Shen Xia in front of him: "Oh! Princess Anping is here too, I thought only Miss Su came!"
Shen Xia smiled and said, "How dare I not come when the Imperial Concubine invites me!"
Concubine Rong raised her eyebrows and looked at the people kneeling on the ground.
Looking at Su Yao, who was dressed in brocade, "This must be the Doctor Su that others are talking about! I heard that you have superb skills and can make people as beautiful as flowers."
Su Yao replied respectfully: "Your Majesty praised it immediately. It can only be icing on the cake, not a major change."
Shen Xia clenched her back teeth and asked, "Can't you let the person get up first?"
"Really? You're not lying to me, are you?"
Su Yao whispered, "I dare not."
Concubine Rong then smiled and said, "It's good that you don't dare. Get up!"
Shen Xia quickly supported Su Yao.
I wanted to ask her if she was okay.
As a result, she shook her head slightly.
Shen Xia clenched her right hand.
Only then did Concubine Rong step back and sit down.
Sipping her tea, she said, "Whatever the Queen did today, I will do as well."
Shen Xia frowned: "My Lady, it's getting late today. How about coming back tomorrow?"
Concubine Rong raised her eyebrows and uttered two cold words: "No."
"Why? You only have eyes for the Queen, and you don't even look at me, the Imperial Concubine."
Su Yao quickly said, "I dare not."
Shen Xia stared at Concubine Rong in a daze.
Then he said with a smile: "You are joking, Your Majesty. You were all appointed by His Majesty himself. How dare Anping!"
"Hmph! Then do it! I want to be the same as Fu Yurou."
Shen Xia understood that Fu Yurou must be the Queen's, and Concubine Rong was indeed arrogant because of her favor.
He actually mentioned the queen's maiden name.
This shows how rampant the Qin family is.
Su Yao nodded: "Okay."
Shen Xia made a request.
Only then did Concubine Rong ask someone to bring a soft chair over.
Su Yao reminded carefully: "Your Majesty, the Queen has done eyebrows, eyeliner and lips, but you must know that everyone's face shape is different, so it is better to choose the eyebrow shape that suits you."
However, Concubine Rong just glanced at Su Yao with contempt, and said arrogantly: "Humph! I just want to be exactly the same as Fu Yurou!"
Shen Xia, who was standing nearby, could not help but shook her head slightly when she saw this.
Seeing this, Su Yao had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes, your Majesty is right."
After saying that, he turned around and began to prepare the necessary things.
At this time, Su Yao looked up at the palace maid next to her and whispered, "Please bring me a soft stool."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the voice fell, the nanny beside her shouted angrily: "How dare you! A mere common woman, do you think you can be on an equal footing with the imperial concubine? Kneel down and do your job!"
Hearing this, Shen Xia felt speechless for a moment, and his expression turned a little ugly.
But she still suppressed her dissatisfaction and slowly explained: "Su Yao is pregnant, it is not convenient for her to kneel down to do things, not to mention that your Majesty needs to do so many projects this time, it will definitely take a long time."
"If Su Yao is forced to kneel down and serve the Empress all the time, what if something unexpected happens during this period?"
"Su Yao had never encountered any problems when she worked for the Queen before. If something went wrong when she was working for the Imperial Concubine, I'm afraid it would affect your reputation."
Unexpectedly, Concubine Rong was not moved at all when she heard this. Instead, she raised her lips slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and sneered in response: "Oh? What's the matter, Princess? Do you think that a lowly and pregnant woman can be compared with me? Besides, even if my reputation is bad, can it be worse than your reputation, Anping?"
Shen Xia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your reputation is not as bad as Anping's, but Anping doesn't rely on his reputation to make a living. But your Majesty is different. You need to compete with the Queen in reputation, don't you?"
Shen Xia only said that she needed to compete with the Queen, instead of directly saying that she coveted the position of Queen.
Besides, who among the women who enter the harem would not want to sit on the throne of queen?
The one I miss the most is probably Concubine Rong.
As long as she keeps coveting that position, she has to act virtuous.
Otherwise, even if the emperor wants to, the officials will not think about it.
Besides, the emperor would not think about it because the Qin family holds the greatest military power.
It is definitely impossible to let her take the throne.
Otherwise, it will definitely lead to the interference of external relatives in politics, and then they will follow the modern trend of replacing the father with the son.
The emperor's position might be unstable, so although Concubine Rong seems to be favored, she is not really so.
Concubine Rong bit her lips tightly.
Unexpectedly, An Ping directly said that Su Yao was pregnant. Of course she knew it because her mother had said so.
She was also thinking that if the child died later, she wouldn't know about it anyway.
But now she knows.
She couldn't pretend she didn't know.
This lowly woman who came back from the countryside was thinking of stepping on her feet just because she was a princess who had lost her power.
How could she let her go.
But she was right about one thing: a lowly woman like her didn't need fame.
She will become the queen in the future.
Some private things have to be done quietly.
