Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 241 Princess Su's Trouble

Qianqing Palace.

Huang Ye had just picked up a piece of steamed pork ribs with her chopsticks when she saw a pair of chopsticks pressing down on her chopsticks. She looked up and saw Xu Rou's triumphant smile.

Huang Ye felt tired. Is Xu Rou stupid? She still wants to cause trouble in such a situation. Does she think she has lost her life?

Xu Rou did it on purpose. She bet that Huang Ye would not dare to speak out in such an occasion. Even if she dared to speak out, Xu Rou was not afraid, because her aunt the Empress Dowager was sitting at the top, staring at her covetously, trying to find fault with her.

Huang Ye pulled back her chopsticks with regret. Forget it. She would not bother with this idiot. At most she could go back and ask him to steam a bowl of mung beans for her. It was not a big deal. If she made a fuss, the Queen Mother would trouble her again. The other four people at the table looked at them in fear, not even daring to pick up their chopsticks.

Huang Ye stretched her chopsticks into a bowl in front of her again. This time, if Xu Rou wanted to use her chopsticks, she would have to stand up. Xu Rou didn't dare to do that, so she could only glare at her again. Huang Ye ignored her and called on the others, "Eat now. If you don't eat now, it will get cold and won't taste good."

Wang Yuan picked up the chopsticks awkwardly, as she felt uncomfortable where Xu Rou was. Jin Cairen and Jiang Cairen also picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Shi Yaoyao was obedient and picked up a piece of steamed pork ribs and put it into Xu Rou's bowl. Xu Rou looked at Huang Ye provocatively and was very satisfied with Shi Yaoyao's flattery.

Huang Ye ignored this idiot. The rule at a palace banquet was that one should not talk while eating, so no one could be heard talking. Occasionally someone would toast the emperor and the emperor emeritus, who also drank quite a bit. Huang Ye felt that the atmosphere was not good and was not as lively as the open-air hot pot banquet she had organized.

Since there was nothing to delay them, the meal was eaten very quickly. By the time the emperor put down his chopsticks, everyone was full. The meal started early today, and it was still bright outside when they finished eating. So the palace servants removed the banquet and replaced it with tea, fruits and snacks. It became lively and people began to drink tea and chat. Huang Ye watched with great interest while drinking tea.

"Empress, I see that you seem to have lost some weight. You are the one who is worrying about all the affairs in the harem. You must take care of yourself and don't let those vixens take advantage of you." A sharp voice rang out, drowning out all the voices in the Qianqing Palace.

Huang Ye followed the crowd and looked at the woman who was speaking. The person was sitting very close to the front and seemed to be of high status. Just when Huang Ye was still wondering who she was talking about, the person looked in her direction.

"That Huangpin, what about you? You look like a foxy woman, but you have repeatedly embarrassed the Queen Mother and the Empress... Empress, you are the head of the palace, you can't be bullied by those low-class people. Just be tough, I believe the Emperor will help you."

Huang Ye, who was sitting in the corner quietly eating melon and watching the show, never thought that the melon would be eaten by herself. Is it so complicated in the palace now? How can she, an ordinary concubine in the harem, get in the way of this man?

This time Huang Ye saw clearly that it was a woman in her early forties with a mean look, and she was glaring at her with knife-like eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is Prince Su's wife, Empress Chen's aunt." Fanghua bent down and briefly introduced herself to Huang Ye.

Huang Ye knew that before entering the palace, her grandfather had introduced her to everything going on inside and outside the palace in detail.

The Prince of Su is a cousin of the retired emperor. In the bloody battle for the throne, he pretended to be sick and remained neutral. Later, when the retired emperor ascended the throne, he also responded actively. It can be seen that he is a smart man. No one expected that his princess would be such a fool and actually made trouble in front of so many people. Huang Ye would not believe that there was no Queen's handiwork in this.

The queen stood up quickly and said, "Aunt may have misunderstood. Concubine Huang has been respectful and polite since she entered the palace, and has never been disrespectful to me." But her tone sounded a little aggrieved.

"You." Princess Su glared at the Queen in dismay. "You are such a good person. She is almost riding on your neck, and you are still here to help cover it up. You are just a vixen. Are you really afraid of her?"

Even though Huang Ye was a person of weak character, she was still angry at this moment. She was called a vixen twice in front of everyone. If she continued to endure it today, she would be trampled to death in the harem in the future. She stood up, walked straight to Princess Su, stopped, and saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me, Princess Su, have I ever been to your palace?" Huang Ye's crisp voice rang out.

"No." Princess Su didn't even look at her. She was thinking about going to their Prince Su's Mansion. What good things was she thinking about?

"Have I ever eaten the food in your house?" Huang Ye asked again.

"No." Princess Su thought to herself, what the hell do you want?

"Since I have never been to your house and have never eaten your rice, all I know is that your Prince Su's Mansion is in the capital. If I didn't know, I would have thought you lived by the sea. It's no wonder you care so much." Huang Ye said this crisply and rolled her eyes in cooperation.

"Hahaha..." The little Prince Fu, who was sitting next to the emperor, couldn't help laughing. His adopted sister was so funny. The other three men at the table also grinned, almost laughing out loud.

The people sitting in the Qianqing Palace were either smiling or covering their mouths, and they couldn't help laughing. This Concubine Huang's words were so funny.

Even Xu Rou, who had always hated Huang Ye, couldn't help but grin. Huang Ziye, this bitch, only knew how to say these funny words to win people's hearts. Princess Su was also right, she was just a vixen who knew how to seduce her cousin, the Emperor.

The Queen Mother: She wanted to say a few words to suppress the arrogance of Concubine Huang, but she was afraid that she would lose face in front of so many people, so she could only open her mouth and then close it again.

"Your Majesty, I think what Concubine Huang said is right. Maybe Uncle Su is tired of living in the capital and wants to live by the sea. Otherwise, you can fulfill their wish." The voice of the little Prince Fu sounded sarcastic.

At this time, Prince Fu's impression of the Princess Su was extremely bad. He had wanted to confront this ugly woman when she was looking for her adopted sister just now. She was ugly but talked a lot. She was meddling in everything and even the emperor's harem. It was probably the empress who instigated her. If he didn't force this ugly woman to death, he would be unworthy of the food he had eaten in the Huang Mansion.

"When will it be your turn as a prince to make decisions at will in the palace?"

The Queen Mother, who had been silent all this time, could not help but speak. It was clear that the Princess Su was speaking for her just now, but this Prince Fu just couldn't stand to see her doing well, and jumped out to interfere at the critical moment. It was really infuriating.
