The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 34 Will Humiliate You
Concubine Lah did not understand, “Sister, why are you laughing?
“In the palace, for the sake of seizing affection, everyone has their own strategies, how many women are exiled to the cold and forgotten palace? All of this happens because of greed. Even if your strategy is successful today, there may be someone who will replace you tomorrow, and drop you with the same strategy. Concubine Lan, listen to my advice, you may devise a plan to protect yourself, do not have the intention to harm others. If you think too well, then disaster will come to you. I frankly, I do not want to seize the Emperor's affection, even though I want to do so, with my image, I do not want to, Your Majesty won't pay attention to me either. I just want to take care of myself, you should know, the water can carry a boat, but it can also sink a boat. Even if you become the closest person to His Majesty, you can also be a target for everyone. The more honor you get, the more threatened you are. All this was the upbringing of my father before I entered the palace, although the things I remember are not very much, but I always remember the advice of my father, the person who loved me the most and would never hurt me.”
After hearing Qin Ruojiu's words, Consort Lan's facial expression changed, she tried to hold back the anger in her heart, then glanced at Qin Ruojiu, “I salute because the Empress did not want to fight over affection. But not everyone in the palace will think like you, thank you for your advice, I hope you live in peace. But even if you protect yourself, it does not mean that others will not bring you down.don't forget, you are the empress.”
“Because I am the empress, then I should be an example, showing the attitude of a good first lady, should not be carried away by greed, hate, envy, spite and other vices.”
Concubine Lan instead quipped, her fire-like eyes, constantly staring at Qin Ruojiu, her hands clasping the silk handkerchief tightly, ” Her Majesty The Empress is very chesty, she said, Parmaisuri is a good example. As a sister, I feel I lost far.”
“I just want to carry out my obligations. Just look at the food on this table, even if there is no Your Majesty, it can still be enjoyed.”
“Big Brother's mind is completely open!” Concubine Lan snorted.
His heart was filled with anger at this foolish woman!
Though he wanted to cooperate with her, but unexpectedly, the Empress even insinuated. He must take this revenge.
If he wants to be a saintly pretender, then he should be ready to accept all the consequences!
Did he think the position of his empress was unshakable? Just look at it later.
Not wanting to make the atmosphere awkward, Qin Ruojiu tried to divert the conversation.
Concubine Lan wiped her lips then got up, “Thank you for the banquet Sister Empress on this day. Lan’er is full.”
“You don't want to continue our chat anymore?”
“No. Lan’er still have business in my palace, Lan’er please say goodbye.”
“Then I won't force. Please, Consort Lan!”
“Iya!”
Concubine Lan saluted, then left without looking back.
After going so far, Qin Ruojiu was relieved. He was no longer interested in the delicious food on the table.
Right now, Lu’Er walked out of the side room, then asked the dumbstruck Empress, “Empress, it looks like you only ate a little.”
