If not abolished

Chapter 185 Greetings and ridicule

"I heard that Concubine Guo has been released. Do you think she will come to pay her respects to the Crown Princess today?"

"After being confined for so long, you should have learned your lesson. Can you still be as domineering as before?"

"makes sense."

"Speaking of which, I'm curious whether she will come today. I'm even more curious about how that concubine Qingluan feels right now. Life in the palace is hard, so it would be nice to have some fun."

"That's not."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Crown Princess has ordered you to come in and pay your respects." After a while, Yun Jin came out and announced.

A group of people went in one after another.

"See Crown Princess."

"We are all sisters, let's get up."

At first, several people looked around but didn't see Concubine Guo. They were wondering if she was the last one to come. But when everyone came in, they found that she was already sitting inside.

"It's been a long time since I last saw Sister Guo. Just now, you and your sisters were looking for her. It turns out Sister Guo has been here for a long time."

"Sister Guo is finally in good health. She came early today to pay her respects to me. That's great." The Crown Princess took over the conversation.

"I don't quite understand what the Crown Princess said. Didn't I hear that Sister Guo was under house arrest? Why did Your Majesty say that she was sick?"

The Crown Princess glanced at the concubine who spoke and said sternly, "What do you mean by house arrest? It's obvious that Miss Guo suddenly fell ill and Your Highness was afraid of being infected, so he hurriedly sealed off the palace. Maybe some people heard it wrongly, right?"

The concubine felt the eyes of the Crown Princess and Concubine Guo looking at her, and immediately stammered, "That... that may be that I heard it wrongly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Hearing her say that, the Crown Princess no longer looked at her.

At this time, Concubine Guo, who had been silent, spoke up: "I would also like to thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of Zhanzhai during this period of time."

"You're too polite, sister. It's just a piece of cake. Even if you lose, Zhan Kai is sensible." The Crown Princess was very satisfied to see that this lesson had indeed made Concubine Guo behave herself a lot.

Later, the Crown Princess mentioned the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, and when they had finished talking, everyone went back.

As soon as they walked out of the gate of Rouyi Palace, Concubine Guo was the first to get on the sedan chair and leave, while the others bowed and watched her leave.

"The Concubine is still the most favored one in the Eastern Palace. " Someone said after Concubine Guo's sedan chair was driven away.

"Who said it wasn't true? Even if she's the Crown Princess, she has to give face to the Concubine."

"Oh, is someone going to be in trouble?"

"Sister, don't say that. If we offend that person, we will be the ones to be confined. We won't be as lucky as the concubine to be released."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Crown Princess has already said that it's not house arrest but an emergency illness. Don't you understand?" Seeing that they had said almost the same thing, Concubine Li spoke out to stop them.

"Concubine Li is right. I made a mistake in my words."

Qingluan was naturally also in the crowd. When she learned yesterday that Guo was released, she knew that today would not be an easy day, so even if they said so, she did not come out to say anything, but just twisted her handkerchief hard.

Just wait and see. At this Mid-Autumn family dinner, she will make sure to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see her, and let all those who laughed at her today see that it’s no big deal to be a favorite concubine or to have a son. She is young, how can she lose to a group of old and ugly women?

"Sister Qingluan, aren't you going back?" A concubine of similar rank to her asked after seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time.

"Ah, are you back? I was distracted for a moment." Qingluan came back to his senses and said.
