The Queen’s Husband

“Oh, so they didn’t pay attention to this empress for a long time, hmm.” Yu Xin Ruo narrows her eyes cunningly.
“Since they have already broken the rules and our palace is the head of the harem, we should punish them well.”

It’s said that the paper can’t hold the fire.
The palace has ears and eyes everywhere.
Yesterday, the news about she told the emperor that she took the initiative to ask for her abolishment must have spread throughout the palace today.
She’s afraid that they came here today just to make fun of her.
Since Yu Xin Ruo has never seen as a good empress, it’s better to take advantage of the fact that she still has two days to be the empress and play with them.

Soon after finishing her dressing, Yu Xin Ruo walked out of the inner hall.
At one glance, she saw four or five gorgeous palace women sitting on the brocade soft mattress chair in the outer hall, with one or two arrogant girls with noses facing the sky behind them.

When Yu Xin Ruo came out, only two concubines stood up to salute her.
The other three seemed to stick their butts on the chair, motionless, and looked at her with only a pair of eyes that hide a ridicule feeling.
The wench behind them follows the master and sticks there.

It seems that the empress has no dignity and status in the harem.
Otherwise, how could they dare not to be polite even when her maid saw her? They also looked at her with arrogant in their eyes.

Yu Xin Ruo secretly calculating in her heart, sat down in the main hall, glanced at them and smiled: “My sisters are all in one’s own body, missing for a few days and they become more beautiful and graceful.”

The pretty concubine in a light blue gorgeous palace dress looked at her and said with a deep smile: “I’m flattered.
Sister, we are always the same.
How can we compare with my sister’s natural beauty? It’s my sister that disappeared for a few days and suddenly became eloquent.
It’s said that Concubine Ling came with the emperor to visit you yesterday, and she also spoke rudely to you.
Sister was so furious and scolded Concubine Ling and let the emperor confined her.
With her personality, she’s obviously can’t be compare to you.”

Yesterday, it was clear that the emperor brought Concubine Ling to Fengluan palace to have fun and insulted her, but she said it was “coming to visit”, which was really good.

Yu Xin Ruo sneers at her words.
She heard from Xinger’s word in the inner hall before, the one in blue is Concubine Lan, her name is Zhao Xinlan.
She is the second daughter of General Zhao Pingshan, make her has a bit prestige in the palace.
She is so stubborn and self conceited.
The lady in the crimson dress is Concubine Yan, whose name is Su Yaner.
She is the daughter of the right minister of this country.
Compared with Concubine Lan, she is a little more calm, but still seems arrogant and unruly.
The other three beautiful girls are Qin Fei, Juan Fei and Cui Fei.

(Fei: concubine)

Yan Fei looks at Yu Xin Ruo with a pair of deep eyes and a smile, “Is the wound on the older sister’s head better? It’s true that the emperor hurt older sister’s forehead for no reason because of a small concubine.
It’s said that the imperial doctor is not allowed to come to see you.
How could the emperor do that? If my sister left a scar on her forehead, it would not look good.
Just the day before the emperor rewarded this sister a bottle of pearl jade cream that nourishes the face, which can heal the scar and make it as good as before.
Fortunately, I bring it with me now.
Lin’er, take out the pearl jade cream and give it to the empress.”

The palace maid immediately took out a delicate jade box behind her, and with a glaring eye she handed it to Xiao Li in a disdainful manner.
Xiao Li was so angry that she immediately returned her glare.

All the concubines in the harem had two abilities.
Even though they were only sixteen or seventeen years old, but they all capable to pretending while talked and laughed.
They showed that they were kind enough to send her a medicine.
Didn’t they actually just expose her scars secretly and laugh at her for not being loved by the emperor?

Yu Xin Ruo took the box of pearl jade cream quietly, looked at it then laughed and joked: “What the Emperor gave to this sister was really good.
It seems that the emperor really doted on you.”

Yan Fei’s face was bright, and she said with a smile, “Sister is just praising me.”

Yu Xin Ruo said the following sentence that immediately made the smile froze on her face: “However, although my sister is favored, the emperor still doesn’t ask my sister to give birth to a prince.
In this way, we sister are still in the same boat, ah! Who is to say that the Empress Dowager had made a decree of justice.
Only after the empress gave birth to the emperor’s son can other concubines breed dragon seeds for the emperor?”

First of all, Lan Fei could not hold her breath.
She stood up and said with a sneer, “What does older sister say? Even if we don’t have the right to breed dragon seeds for the emperor now, it doesn’t mean that we won’t have a chance in the future.
And elder sister, even if you have been the empress for more than a year, you have no right to breed dragon seeds for the emperor.
Besides, elder sister, you will soon be abolished.
What else is your right to be arrogant in front of us?”

Qin Fei, Juan Fei and Cui Fei also echoed the irony.

“Unbridled! Empress is someone who has higher position than you.
How can you speak up and insult her at will?” Xiao Li speaks straightforwardly.
Seeing that Lan Fei bullies her master, she immediately makes a voice to fight for her injustice.

“You’re only presumptuous!” Lan Fei want to vent her anger.
Her right index finger points at Xiao Li, and says in a sharp voice, “You are just a little slave.
Who said you can scold my servant? Just a few cowardly barks! Come my servant, give a face to this Concubine! Punish this servant, so she doesn’t dare to stand up and madly bite everyone!”

The voice didn’t even finish when the girl who was the nearest to Xiao Li immediately got her eyes red.
She went to the front and slapped Xiao Li two times in the face.
Suddenly, Xiao Li falls down on the floor and her cheeks were red and swollen.

Xiao Li was beaten and looked up in surprise and panic.
She dared not speak more.
Yu Xin Ruo was so angry.
This concubine in front of her actually dare to fight her people? This Lan Fei is very deceiving!

With a sneer, she stood up from her seat, stared at Lan Fei, and said with a grin: “Sister Lan doesn’t give this empress any face.
Don’t you know that beating a dog depends on the owner’s face?”

Lan Fei stared at her without hesitation and said, “This slave is the one who beat yours.
What can you do as an abandoned empress? Don’t think that we will be afraid of you even though you have support of the Empress Dowager!”

“Well, that reminds this empress!” Yu Xin Ruo said in a fierce voice, “This empress is supported by the Empress Dowager.
What can you do about me? I am still the empress now, so I have the right to deal with you unruly concubines!”

After that, she quickly eyeing one of the concubines, rolled up her sleeve robe, and with five fingers slapped the concubine several slaps in the face, suddenly hit her unprepared, and one fell to the ground unsteadily.

“The tigress is not powerful huh? You are all a sick cat! If I don’t give you some lesson now, you won’t know how to abide by the rules of the palace!
