Zhou Xi returned to Liuli palace, broke two cups and then calmed down.
She tore up Lu Chen’s handkerchief which she had embroidered beautifully that day. Her eyes were calm and she was thinking about the recent days carefully. Since Luo Ran was able to win the Emperor’s sacred heart, she must have some ability. How could she not know that he was dissatisfied with her and then decided to go to the imperial garden alone? It was her doing.
After thinking this, Zhou Xi calmed down. She was temporarily blinded by anger; otherwise how could she have been affected by Luo Ran’s simple way of doing things. She could maintain the glory of being ‘Imperial Concubine Chen’, naturally her heart should not be higher than the sky. Since she already knew that this Luo Ran should not be underestimated, she would not take her lightly.
When she closed her eyes and opened them again, she returned to the gentle and considerate Imperial Concubine Chen. She glanced at the delicate and beautiful face in the bronze mirror, that was not as delicate as Luo Ran’s. She smiled, and said softly, “Take off these hairpins for Bengong.”
A step behind her, Zi Fu was stunned, take off her hairpins? Aware of what Zhou Xi wanted to do, she disagreed: “What is this, Mistress? She is just a slave; how can you make amends yourself?”
“She used to be a slave, but now she is the person in the Emperor’s heart. Bengong forgot this and made a mistake.”
Zhou Xi raised her hand and pulled out a pearl hairpin from between her buns, a few wisps of hair scattered down. It didn’t matter what position she held in the harem. As long as she had the respect of ten thousand people, she could do whatever she wanted.
Zi Fu listened to her words, her eyes flashed a trace of jealousy, but she didn’t say anything. She took down the other hairpins in her hair.
The night wind was getting cold. Lu Chen was resting in Yangxin hall in the evening, but then he saw De Gonggong come in and then say something in his ear, he frowned and finally got up and walked out.
Zhou Xi was dressed in plain clothes and knelt down under the steps with her hair disheveled. Lu Chen saw her like this and narrowed his eyes. “What are you doing?”
She looked at Lu Chen coming out, and Zhou Xi breathed a sigh of relief. The Emperor was still mindful of their previous friendship. Zhou Xi blushed slightly and smiled. “Your Majesty, don’t be angry with Xi’er.”
The way she had forced herself to smile aroused Lu Chen’s pity. He said softly, “Do you know what you have done wrong?”
Zhou Xi knew what answer the Emperor wanted at this time, but she could not say it. The tears in her eyes suddenly fell and she became stubborn: “If Your Majesty is speaking about Concubine Luo, then Xi’er will not admit her mistake! Xi’er is right!”
Lu Chen looked cold. If she didn’t know what she did wrong, then what was she doing here today?
Zhou Xi stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on her face, and looked a little like when she was a spoiled girl back in her youth: “Your Majesty, Xi’er is willing to admit her mistake because Xi’er is unwilling to make the Emperor angry and distance herself from the Emperor. However, Your Majesty, did you think of Xi’er’s feelings when you married Concubine Luo from Xi’er’s palace? She stabbed me in the back, and I slapped her in the face. Does the Emperor have to be angry for so long?”
Lu Chen frowned and his cold eyes melted away. It was indeed his fault, and it was only natural for her to be angry. However, Lu Chen’s eyes flashed; remembering Luo Ran’s tears hurt him, so he naturally did not want to wrong her either.
