Chapter 573 The women in the palace are really scheming
Fei Wan continued, "First of all, the end of the month is His Majesty's birthday. Although His Majesty said before that there's no need for a grand celebration, now that His Majesty has fully recovered from his injuries, the palace still needs to celebrate. I'm going to perform a dance at the palace banquet, and I'd like to invite Sister Zhaoyi to dance with me."
"Don't call me Zhaoyi!" Gu Shu'er looked like a beast trapped in a cage, ready to bite at any time.
Fei Wan smiled: "Okay, then, please dance with me, Sister Gu."
"Can't do it!"
"What's wrong?" Fei Wan looked her up and down, just like when she came to visit for the first time, he looked at himself like appreciating an item.
I also imitated her and made clicking sounds.
“I can help you leave the palace, such a big thing, but you can’t even help me dance?
You don't think that you are a favored child of heaven and that everyone should do things for you without asking for anything in return, do you? "
Gu Shu'er never wanted to be blamed, so she immediately retorted, her cheeks flushed with anger.
"Why would you make me believe that you can help me leave the palace without any consequences? And why would you help me? All the women in your palace love to laugh at others. Isn't it what you want to keep me trapped in the palace and miserable for the rest of my life? I don't believe you would be willing to help me. Maybe you have some tricks up your sleeve! And I can't even dance!"
Fei Wan raised her eyebrows, looking at him as if he were a fool.
"You still can't figure this out? Doesn't Sister Gu say all day that you are clearer and more insightful than any of us?"
Fei Wan then explained that before Gu Shu'er entered the palace, she was the most favored woman, but was overshadowed by Gu Shu'er. If she wanted to regain his favor, she would have to send Gu Shu'er away without leaving any trace or being noticed. Only in this way could she regain her glory without arousing the emperor's suspicion.
"Sure enough." Gu Shuer believed it.
The women in the palace were obsessed with vying for favor. The Imperial Noble Consort had climbed to such a high position in less than a year, so how could she be kind and harmless? Scheming like this was only natural.
"But I can't dance, so give up!"
"If you don't know how, can't you just learn?" Fei Wan smiled slightly, her fingertips gently stroking the teacup, a sly glint in the corner of her eyes. "You keep saying you want to leave the palace, but you don't even want to pay the price of learning to dance. How is this any different from the people you despise all day long? We just sit in the house doing nothing, waiting for others to serve us and do everything for us."
"Who said I'm the same as you? I..."
"Then why don't you dare to learn?"
"If I learn it, I can definitely leave the palace?"
"If it's not certain, yet you don't even dare to gamble? You always boast that you are braver than us, but is it just talk?"
Gu Shu'er was choked and stunned.
She knew that this imperial concubine was very powerful and not kind and gentle!
"You're just trying to trick me into dancing for you and getting your favor back!"
His face was full of hatred.
But the tone was much weaker.
In fact, I have already started to weigh whether to help.
Na na, she asked again: "You said I would help you with three things, what are the other two?"
Fei Wan's eyes, as gentle as water, narrowed slightly, and a barely perceptible light flashed across them.
He smiled and said, "You should do this first. I will tell you the other two things after I see that you are sincere."
Seeing that Gu Shu'er was about to refute, he immediately added: "If you can't even do something as simple as dancing, then the other two things are not worth mentioning."
Gu Shuer shut up.
He sat down angrily and ate most of the midnight snacks Fei Wan had prepared.
Ever since she went to Chenqian Palace to say goodbye and was unexpectedly raped by the emperor, she has been sad and angry and has not eaten anything until now.
He chewed the food prepared by Fei Wan fiercely, as if he could vent his resentment at being bribed by Fei Wan.
Unexpectedly, as he ate, everything tasted delicious, even better than what he had eaten in front of the emperor and in Fengming Palace. His fierce anger gradually relaxed.
In particular, when I ate a bun, I found it unusually soft and the outer skin didn't look like a bun, but more like bread.
And the filling inside is actually ice cream.
She was immediately shocked!
"How... did you do that?!" She looked at Fei Wan in surprise.
Fei Wan smiled: "Is it delicious? It's very simple. As long as I pay attention to what Sister Gu likes to eat, I can prepare a midnight snack that will suit your taste. Without this attentiveness, how do you think I can sit on the position of Imperial Concubine?"
"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about, how can you make sorbet!"
"Sister Gu told someone about how to make this thing. I found out about it and asked someone to try making it according to your method."
“It actually worked?”
“Nothing is difficult in this world if one sets his mind to it. If you try a few more times, nothing is impossible.”
Gu Shuer looked surprised, "You really are..."
It's really deliberate!
Women in the palace, why don’t you use your intelligence and energy for other things, but instead use it all on scheming to win favor? How sad!
Fei Wan asked with a smile: "Now, do you have some faith in my ability and think that I might be able to send you out of the palace?"
You know what, it’s true.
Gu Shuer remained silent.
He just focused on eating a portion of ice cream buns cleanly.
"Your Majesty is truly amazing. She was able to convince Miss Gu... No, Ling Zhaoyi obeys."
After Gu Shuer left, Xiang Yi came back to serve her, marveling at her.
In the past month, Gu Shu'er didn't listen to anyone in the palace, including the emperor, and looked down on everyone, including the emperor.
Fei Wan said: "One way to tie each monkey."
Gu Shu'er's characteristics were too distinct, making her relatively easy to deal with. The reason she hadn't been dealt with by others in the more than a month since she entered the palace was simply because everyone avoided her.
From the beginning of Fei Wan's reign as the emperor's favorite, her goal was not to compete for favor, so she never regarded any woman in the palace as a natural enemy.
She would make friends and use those who could help her achieve her ultimate goal, and she would eliminate those who interfered with her.
Everyone has different characteristics and different ways of making friends.
Concubine Hui can be honest with her, but Empress Yan has to hold back on honesty. Concubine De, you just have to let her listen to the opera happily. Concubine Shun, you have to be good to her, but you have to be in a high position to suppress her and make her obedient. Concubine Ming values her daughter the most, and this Concubine Ling is full of pride and thinks she is different from others.
Then let her embrace her unique dream of leaving the palace and start learning to dance in a unique way!
February.
The capital is located in the north and the cold continues.
But the breath of spring is getting stronger and stronger.
In the warmest areas of the Imperial Garden, tips of grass were poking out of the ground.
As the days get warmer, Fei Wan also received the biggest good news in recent days.
Ma Xiaofeng was named "General of Courage and Resoluteness" by an imperial decree and became a city-defending hero worshipped by the people.
Although it is just a title of general and he does not lead troops or enter the court, this title is a golden amulet.
From then on, not only the common people, but even the officials in the court did not dare to offend him easily.
How did he get this skill?
