Chapter 119 Dissatisfaction
Compared with Chu Yuanli's dejection, the scene in the backyard of Prince Qing's mansion was completely opposite.
It was as if all the balance was broken in an instant, and the women could no longer sit still.
Especially those concubines and concubines who usually looked down on Yan Qingning, could not accept the fact that Yan Qingning had climbed over their heads.
Especially the concubine Luo who was still under house arrest, she smashed a lot of things in the room.
Her personal maid tried to persuade her, but she refused to listen. She yelled with red eyes, "I don't accept it. Anyone can do it, but not that bitch Yan Qingning..."
The older and younger girls were speechless. What else could they do if they were not convinced?
This was a promotion given by the emperor himself.
People are like this, they can't stand seeing others doing better than them.
If the person who has always been inferior to themselves is not living a satisfactory life, they will think that it is natural and reasonable.
But once that person suddenly surpasses you, then the feeling is more than just feeling uncomfortable.
Who could have thought that Yan Qingning just went to the palace and came back standing above their heads.
When they saw her, they had to kneel down and greet her, and they no longer dared to ridicule or mock her as they did before. You can imagine how big the gap was.
The point is, they often ridicule and mock Yan Qingning. Who knows if Yan Qingning holds a grudge against them?
How could they not worry about Yan Qingning's revenge? You can imagine how uneasy they were at this moment.
But it was no use being nervous. They had to face the reality and think about how to protect themselves. But besides this, they felt secretly excited because someone was even more unlucky. It was Yan Xiwei, who had always been superior to them. She was punished by the emperor and put under house arrest.
In the minds of the women, Yan Xiwei's prestige as a princess has plummeted.
Although they dare not step on others openly, they can still gloat over their misfortune in secret.
But at the same time, it also allowed them to find a suitable support for themselves, and that person was Cheng Wanshuang, who had the same status as Yan Qingning.
After all, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, and everyone agreed that the two of them would definitely fight to the death.
Cheng Wanshuang listened to the girls' questions and their subtle and probing words.
Her heart is like a mirror.
If it was before today, she would have done the same.
But now it’s different, but she won’t explain. Cheng Wanshuang said softly, “Sisters, you’ve come all the way here and talked for so long. Drink some tea to moisten your throat first.”
The tea that had just been ordered was served. Wisps of snow-white tea mist were still floating in the teacup, permeating the air and filling the room with the fragrance of tea.
After hearing this, some people pretended to pick up the tea, raised their sleeves to cover it, but put it down before even touching their lips, and said, "Good tea."
Some people actually took a sip and felt a bitter taste in their mouths. They regretted it so much that they said "good tea" against their will with a stiff expression.
She really came from a small family. How could she have the nerve to take out such crappy tea?
I'm afraid that only from Concubine Cheng's place can you drink such unpalatable tea.
Cheng Wanshuang seemed not to notice anything. Of course, the tea was brought from her mother's home.
As for the fine tea from the palace, she had someone take it back to honor her grandmother and mother.
She certainly didn't care what these people thought of her.
This thing is a luxury for the Cheng family, and being pretentious also requires financial support.
However, the girls certainly did not come here to drink tea, and continued to question Cheng Wanshuang.
Cheng Wanshuang felt that it was about time, so she said, "Don't be unconvinced. Concubine Ning's position as a concubine is not a false one. She saved Princess Jia of the Prince of Jin's Mansion."
Concubine Niu was outspoken and said sourly, "She is so lucky.
If I had known earlier, I should have asked the princess to take me into the palace, so that the credit for saving Princess Jia would be mine..."
Cheng Wanshuang almost spat at her. Even she didn't dare to say such words. She was so shameless.
Although she didn't know the specific details and process.
She saw with her own eyes that Lu Ying and others were targeting her, and such a big thing happened.
It was enough for her to connect most of the things together. Although Yan Qingning only told her the inside story briefly, she could already imagine the weirdness of it.
Cheng Wanshuang put down the teacup and said, "Well, next time I have a chance, I will find a way to take you with me."
Well, as for idiots like her, the sooner the better, otherwise she will be implicated if something goes wrong.
Several girls asked Yan Xiwei why she was grounded again out of the blue.
The point is, this house arrest was issued by the emperor himself.
Everyone was curious about what Yan Xiwei had done to make the emperor put her under house arrest.
Cheng Wanshuang looked a little embarrassed.
This made the two concubines, who were very united and not very talkative, curious.
Concubine Yu asked in a soft voice, "Sister Cheng, what's going on? Just tell us. We are also concerned about Sister Princess."
Seeing this, Concubine Zhang also said, "Yes, Sister Cheng, don't worry. We are not the kind of people who talk nonsense. If you tell us, we can also think of how to comfort Sister Princess."
The two have a good relationship and work together seamlessly.
Cheng Wanshuang looked strange, "This..."
When Concubine Yu and Concubine Zhang saw that Cheng Wanshuang was looking at them with an ambiguous look in her eyes, they became nervous. Could it be related to them?
He couldn't help but show his status and send away Concubine Niu and Concubine Zhou.
Concubine Niu and Concubine Zhou were extremely reluctant to leave.
But they didn't dare to do so. As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush one with great power. After all, the concubine's status was one level higher than theirs.
Cheng Wanshuang just pretended to raise her sleeves to cover her face while drinking tea, pretending not to see the aggrieved looks of the two concubines.
Well, Concubine Luo is coming out soon, so it will probably be more lively.
When the two concubines Zhang and Yu saw that there was no one else around, they looked at each other, and tacitly said a lot of nice things to Cheng Wanshuang and flattered her a few times.
Cheng Wanshuang was satisfied, but she still looked very embarrassed. Before she got down to business, she warned, "Only a few of us know about this. You can't spread it around."
The two of them made a lot of promises and were almost about to swear an oath.
Cheng Wanshuang then said, "It was our princess who plotted against Concubine Ning, no, it was the princess who framed Concubine Ning, and brought disaster to Princess Jia, causing her to almost drown.
Fortunately, Concubine Ning rescued Princess Jia regardless of her own safety, and Princess Jia saved her life.
The emperor was furious, and after investigation, he found out that it was the princess who bribed someone..."
Zhang Yu and others were stunned and shocked by Cheng Wanshuang's words.
They all covered their mouths and said, "How dare she..."
Cheng Wanshuang snorted in her heart. Of course she dared to do it because someone was backing her up.
……
The Yan Xiwei who was being talked about was currently kneeling in front of a long desk, furiously copying the female ring.
Danhong helped copying on the other side.
The Hundred Articles on Women's Rings were enough to drive a person crazy, and she had no time to waste.
Fortunately, she was well prepared and had asked Danhong to imitate her handwriting since she was a child. Now she can finally help her.
At this time, Madam Guo walked in with a woman in her thirties.
