The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C202
Chapter 201 – Punishment of the Palace Maiden
Su Fei Fei took off her clothes and entered the barrel. She looked at the pearl who was still standing blankly at the side and smiled sweetly, “What are you still standing there for? Didn’t you want to serve me well? “Hurry up and help me rub my back.”
“Yes, Empress.” Pearl obediently helped Su Fei Fei rub her body. Smoke filled the barrel, and for some reason, Pearl felt sleepy.
In the end, she unknowingly laid on the side. Su Fei laughed sinisterly.
“You want to serve me? Or supervise me? ” Su Fei washed herself and walked out of the bathtub.
It seemed that if she wanted to be free, she could only send the pearl away first. However, she was sent by the Imperial Consort Leng, so if she was kicked out like this, the Imperial Consort Leng would definitely be wary of her. Su Fei was at a loss as to what to do.
When Pearl woke up, she saw that Su Fei was no longer around. She hurriedly went out to search for her. She saw the light come on in her room, but the door was closed.
“Su Fei, do you want this servant to help you take off your makeup?” Pearl asked, knocking at the door.
“No need. You should go back and rest since you’re tired today.”
Pearl scratched her head. How did she fall asleep just now? In the past, there would never have been such a situation, if Imperial Consort Leng knew, she would probably be scolded again.
Pearl did not return to her room to rest. Instead, she immediately went to report to the Imperial Consort Leng about the situation. However, she had concealed the fact that she was helping her bathe and doze off.
“Pearl, remember to keep a close eye on Su Fei. If you find anything amiss, immediately tell me. Do you understand?” Imperial Consort Leng is a very scheming person.
However, the only person that made her jealous yet helpless against her, was the Imperial Consort Yu. Since she had been in the palace until now.
She was the only one in Emperor Ming’s eyes, and even Concubine Qin suffered from cold shoulder, while she himself was pregnant. Almost all good things had been taken over by the Imperial Consort Yu. If it wasn’t for the fact that Su Fei’s death caused Emperor Ming to be unhappy, she might have been doted on.
As long as Pearl observed carefully for a few days, Su Fei Fei was indeed reliable. Then, if he used the flower as a offering to make the Emperor Ming’s favor, it would be better than liking the Imperial Consort Yu that was opposing him.
Pearl nodded her head with all her might, not daring to neglect Imperial Consort Leng’s orders. The Empress was a cruel and merciless person. Even if she could not investigate this matter properly, it would still be dangerous for his head to fall to the ground.
“Go. Remember to be a little more careful tonight. You must not miss anything.” Imperial Consort Leng warned again.
“I will follow Empress’s instructions. This servant will definitely not disappoint the Empress.” Pearl nodded.
Imperial Consort Leng waved her hand and said, “Go back!”
When Pearl returned to Bright Moon Hall, it was already very late, but she saw that the light in Su Fei’s room was still on. Suspicious, she quietly went over to the door to listen in. But there was no sound from inside. Why hadn’t Su Fei gone to bed so late at night?
Suddenly, someone lightly patted her shoulder.
“Pearl, what are you doing sneaking around outside my door?” Su Fei’s questioning tone.
“Madame Su, why are you outside?” Why aren’t you sleeping this late? Imperial Consort Leng had instructed this servant to take good care of the Empress, afraid that the Empress would not be able to sleep well, so she came over to see what the Empress was looking for. ” Pearl’s eyes were unblinking as she made up a lie.
“There’s no need for this consort to be so concerned. This consort is used to peace and quiet.” Su Fei said coldly.
Pearl saw that Su Fei Fei’s expression was bad and did not dare to say anything else? She hurriedly said, “Then Madame Su can rest at ease. This servant will go back to rest first.”
“Wait a minute, Pearl, you won’t have to worry about me so late in the future. If you come out too late, you’ll easily get cold. “I pay attention to my body, but you have to pay attention to your body as well.” The corners of Su Fei’s mouth lifted into a faint smile.
It was unknown if it was because Pearl was dazzled or because of some other reason, but at this moment, Su Fei Fei made people tremble. The Su Fei who was at night during the day did not look like the same person.
“Many thanks for Madame Su’s concern. This servant will definitely take good care of her health and take good care of her.” After all, she was a servant sent by the Imperial Consort Leng, she was naturally not worried that Su Fei Fei would do anything to her. Right now, she was in charge of supervising her. Su Fei Fei didn’t dare to do anything to her, as she had Imperial Consort Leng supporting her from behind.
Su Fei let out a sigh as she watched Pearl leave.
This palace maid was so nosy, if she continued like this, it might hinder her from doing good things. He would follow him around the clock, this Imperial Consort Leng loved to meddle in other people’s business.
The next day, when Su Fei woke up and opened the door, Pearl was already standing at the door, scaring her.
“Why didn’t you make a sound? Are you trying to scare me to death?” Su Fei reproached.
“Your servant has already knocked on the door, but Niangniang, you haven’t woken up. Your servant can only wait outside.” “May the Empress wash her face. This servant has already prepared it for the Empress.” After Pearl finished speaking, she took the toiletries to the inner room.
Su Fei shook her head helplessly and finished washing up.
For most of the day, Pearl had never left him, as if she were watching over a prisoner.
“Pearl, don’t you have anything else to do? You can get busy. ” Su Fei said.
Pearl maintained her respectful demeanor as before. “It’s Pearl’s duty to serve the Empress. The Empress can do whatever she needs to do. Pearl won’t disturb the Empress.”
“Get me a cup of tea, I’m thirsty.” Su Fei glanced at the pearl and instructed.
“Servants, go pour the Empress some tea.” Pearl was still standing there motionless. She instructed the other palace maids to get some tea.
Su Fei smiled weakly. It seemed like this pearl would be hard to send away.
“How long have you been in the palace, Pearl? Have I been following Imperial Consort Leng? ” Su Fei was curious about Pearl, how Imperial Consort Leng had trained such a loyal confidant.
Pearl said: “Not long after this servant entered the palace, I have been waiting by Imperial Concubine’s side the entire time.”
“How much do you know about matters within the palace? Can you tell me about it?” Su Fei took the cup from maid and lightly sipped on it before placing it on the table.
Pearl glanced at Su Fei Fei and lightly said, “The emperor taboos gossip the most, so it’s better for Empress to not know it than to know it. The Empress was extremely beautiful, and the Bright Moon Hall was the residence of all the concubine concubines from the past, who knows how many concubines were envious of her peaceful days like this. ”
A palace maid, his speech concise and concise, as expected of someone at the side of Imperial Consort Leng. This Imperial Consort Leng actually wanted to curry favor with him, since she had chosen the right master the moment she entered the sect. Otherwise, he might not even be able to protect her own life right now.
Su Fei was chatting with Pearl when maid came in to report. “Esteemed Empress Su, Concubine Qin requests an audience.”
“Concubine Qin?” Pearl immediately became alert. This Concubine Qin and her are at odds with each other, what is she doing in Bright Moon Hall?
“Send the message, I won’t see you!” Pearl immediately made the decision for Su Fei.
She had to resolutely stop anything that did not take advantage of the Imperial Concubine. Otherwise, if anything happened to her, even ten of her own heads would not be able to protect her.
“Pearl, you are actually representing me?” Su Fei said with a dissatisfied expression.
“The Imperial Concubine said that for the sake of Empress Su’s safety, it would be best to not have any intimate contact with those unrelated people.” Pearl’s tone was forceful.
A mere maid dared to use such a tone to talk to his? Su Fei Fei was very unhappy. Although she was from Imperial Consort Leng, he couldn’t just ignore him like that. Being like this on the first day, what would happen in the future?
“Pearl, this is the first time Concubine Qin has visited you. It wouldn’t be excessive for me to meet you.” Although Su Fei didn’t have a good impression of Concubine Qin, she was especially disgusted by Pearl’s attitude.
“Alright, Concubine Qin, please come in.” Pearl’s face darkened as she commanded the palace maid.
maid had been watching Pearl’s face the entire time, and only after hearing his command did he dare to pass on the message.
The current Su Fei was like a imprisoned bird that was being held hostage by the Imperial Consort Leng at all times.
The last time Qin Luofei said that she would come to Bright Moon Hall to pay her respects to Su Fei.
This was only a pretense, and it was mainly to see what kind of person Su Fei was.
Being in the harem and looking down, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, you’re not afraid of being schemed against.
“What kind of wind brought the Concubine Qin here?” Su Fei asked with a bright smile when she saw Qin Luofei walking in with her maidservant Xi Hua.
The first thing Qin Luo Fei saw was not Su Fei, but the servant standing beside her. Wasn’t this servant girl from Imperial Consort Leng’s side? He actually followed beside her, seems like Imperial Consort Leng is really fast.
“The Empress has been in the palace for several days. Your consort should come to pay respects, but has not been free. She has only come today, I hope the Empress will not mind.” Qin Luofei smiled, but her eyes did not leave any trace as she sized up Su Fei secretly.
Su Fei Fei was indeed a beautiful woman. It was no wonder that everyone recited it. It was a pity that such a thing had angered the emperor. Otherwise, he would definitely be favored.
“Concubine Qin is being too courteous, serve tea with pearls. This concubine brought this tea from outside the palace, Concubine Qin must taste it well. ” Su Fei’s words were sharp, but Qin Luofei couldn’t hear them.
But Pearl still stood there unmoving. Su Fei Li looked at maid beside her, but Pearl only pretended that she couldn’t see anything.
“Esteemed Su’s palace maid sure has a personality. Even the Esteemed Empress can’t control her personality, and there are no rules …” Qin Luofei knew that this pearl was someone from Imperial Consort Leng’s side, so it was no wonder she dared to ignore Su Fei’s words. She was as arrogant and despotic as her mistress.
“Concubine Qin, this servant’s master, esteemed Su Han, doesn’t have any objections. Why are you so excited, Concubine Qin?” Pearl sneered, and dared to openly contradict Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei smiled faintly and said to Su Fei, “Esteemed Su, is this how you discipline your palace maids? You have no rules at all. Do you want me to lead the Empress and properly discipline you? ”
“Pearl, make some tea.” Su Fei Fei didn’t like Pearl’s way of doing things. Currently, she could use Qin Luofei to teach this pearl a lesson.
Pearl, gritting her teeth, could only personally pick up the teapot to make tea.
“Esteemed Empress Su, these servants usually prefer to bully the weak and fear the strong. It looks like the Empress just entered the palace to properly learn how to discipline her palace maids. It looks like she has no rules, but the Empress can actually tolerate this as well.” Qin Luofei was outspoken, even if she knew Pearl was from the Imperial Consort Leng.
Su Fei Fei couldn’t help but admire her slightly. It was rare to see someone in the imperial harem who dared to go against the Imperial Consort Leng. At least she wouldn’t do that, she still had to rely on that woman to get closer to the Emperor Ming.
Pearl came over with a pot of boiling water and put it on the table. Seeing her unwilling expression, a thought appeared in Qin Luofei’s mind.
“Pour tea.” Before Su Fei could speak, Qin Luofei spoke first.
The person who came was a guest, but this pearl wasn’t polite at all.
“Pearl, make some tea.” Su Fei added.
Pearl poured some tea as she felt that there was no place for her to vent the anger in her heart. Imperial Consort Leng had told her to come here to stare at Su Fei, not to do what these servants did. This Concubine Qin was obviously deliberately making things difficult for him, she might as well make her suffer, and remove the hatred in her heart.
