"I don't know that Xia Changzai has such a hobby and likes to talk about others behind their backs."

Ning Shu's voice was full of sarcasm.

This is her usual style, and others won't think it's wrong.

When Ning Shu held Songzhi's hand and rolled her eyes when she appeared in front of Xia Chunqiu, she found that the one she kept ridiculing was An Lingrong.

An Lingrong, dressed in lotus-colored palace clothes, stood aside looking pitiful and didn't know how to react.

After all, the person I just talked about is the person who is rumored to be able to beat people to death if he disagrees with him.

"I've met Concubine Hua."

An Lingrong knew that he could not offend the person in front of him, so he quickly bowed and saluted.

Ning Shu glanced at An Lingrong.

"Get up, you look like this and you are being bullied."

"Songzhi, help Anxing up. It's really uncomfortable to meet someone who doesn't know how high the sky is."

There was ridicule inside and outside the words, but when these words fell in An Lingrong's ears, she did not feel that Concubine Hua was ridiculing her.

After all, Concubine Hua is famous for being looked down upon by everyone.

This made the maid next to him come over to help him, which was a great honor to him.

"Thank you, ma'am."

An Lingrong didn't dare to let Songzhi really help her. When she saw Songzhi extending her hand, she immediately supported Songzhi weakly, stood up, and then thanked Concubine Hua.

"Xia Changzai is really majestic. I must be used to it on weekdays, right?"

"I don't know how Mrs. Xia taught me. Xia Changzai doesn't even understand that you can't talk nonsense behind your back."

Xia Chunqiu's face turned a little red. She couldn't refute what Concubine Hua said.

But, what does this matter have to do with my mother!

"My dear, concubines shouldn't talk about you behind your back, but please don't insult my mother."

Ning Shu looked at Xia Chunqiu's righteous face and immediately laughed out loud.

"You don't understand the rules and are still making excuses here?"

"Zhou Ninghai, Zhang Zui."

If a lower-ranking concubine criticizes the higher-ranking one behind her back, slapping her is considered a normal punishment.

The emperor stood on the side of the rockery, listening to the exchanges between these concubines, with no expression on his face.

These women are just playthings in his heart.

That is Concubine Hua...

Back then, when Xian Yi was angry, he looked back and smiled, which really touched his heartstrings.

But Nian Gengyao really didn't dare to stay.

The crisp sound of slaps came along with the chirping of birds, but other than that, there was no other sound.

The emperor listened for a while, then turned and left.

After Ning Shu received Delta's report that the emperor had left, he was completely released.

She raised her hand to ask Zhou Ninghai to stop what he was doing, walked over while turning the delicate armor, and raised Xia Chunqiu's chin.

"If I don't deal with you, do you really think I have a good temper?"

"A cloaked slave dares to act wild in front of me, you are really brave!"

The cold and sharp armor scratched Xia Chunqiu's cheek, giving her the illusion that she was about to be disfigured.

"Concubine, concubine..."

Xia Chunqiu's whole body was shaking.

This kind of pressure from a superior person made her dare not speak at all.

"These few slaps today are just a lesson to you."

Ning Shu turned away Xia Chunqiu's face, wiped her hands with the handkerchief, and threw the handkerchief away in disgust.

"Let's go back, so that no one will be an eyesore here."

Ning Shu gave Xia Chunqiu, who was kneeling on the ground, a signature glare, then glanced at An Lingrong and gave Songzhi a look.

An Lingrong is a good knife if he uses it well, but if he doesn't use it properly, he will hurt himself.

However, Ning Shu can probably understand the extent of it.

Songzhi immediately understood what her master meant and walked to An Lingrong's side to bless her body.

"Little Master An, my mother-in-law invites you."

An Lingrong's heart was pounding, and she didn't know what Concubine Hua meant by calling her.

But she didn't dare not listen to Concubine Hua's words.

An Lingrong entered Yikun Palace and was shocked by the luxury inside.

"No need to light incense."

Ning Shu asked the palace maid who was about to order Huanyixiang to retreat.

This smell is so disgusting to listen to.

Ning Shu looked up and saw An Lingrong standing to the side, nervous to the point of being at a loss. Ning Shu sighed secretly.

It's still a little white flower now.

As long as she is not allowed to turn dark, she will be a smart and capable assistant.

Zhen Huan has the aura of being the heroine, so it's not certain whether the alliance can be formed smoothly.

"Is this palace so scary?"

Ning Shu looked at An Lingrong with Concubine Hua's usual smile, and there was also a hint of teasing in her tone.

An Lingrong hurriedly blessed himself, but he didn't know how to answer.

It's really scary...

"Sit down."

Ning Shu leaned on the chair and asked Songzhi to wash her hands with water mixed with rose juice and cinnamon twigs, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"I heard that your family makes spices?"

Ning Shu looked at her nails. The color was too bright. She would have to change it to a more elegant color soon.

"Go back to your Majesty, my concubine's family is a spice seller."

That's why he had money to donate his official position and sent his daughter to the palace.

"Come and tell me, I can't sleep well at night, what kind of fragrance is suitable for me?"

An Lingrong was a little stunned when Concubine Hua laughed at her family background and asked her about spices.

She forgot how to answer for a moment.

"Are you wondering why I don't laugh at your origin?"

Ning Shu looked at An Lingrong with no disdain or ridicule, only sadness.

"After entering the harem, your origin is no longer important. The most important thing to survive in this harem is the emperor's favor."

"Without love, you are nothing."

After saying a few words, Ning Shu smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm telling you what these people are doing. Anyway, I'm not a good person in this harem."

An Lingrong looked at the bitter smile on Ning Shu's face, but her heart trembled.

Concubine Hua seems to be suffering too.

"Go back, I'm tired."

Ning Shu closed her eyes slightly and waved to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and stood up to say goodbye: "I will go back and take a look at the prescription. I will send you some incense to calm the nerves tomorrow."

Ning Shu did not open her eyes and only waved her hand to leave.

After An Lingrong left, Ning Shu opened her eyes, not feeling depressed at all.

"Delta, look at what's wrong with this body now."

I was too careless. When the palace maid lit incense, I realized that I didn't check my body.

Everyone regards themselves as a scourge, wishing that they would die early. Huan Yixiang is probably not the only one with problems.

"Ning Shu, this body is already at a critical point. One more point and it will be hopeless."

"Also, this body has not only been damaged by musk, but also by other things."

"You can walk around the palace for a while and I'll check it out for you."

Ning Shu felt relieved.
