C431 Substitute?

The days went on as usual, and after one night, Guan... Meng Qingdie did not like to talk much. She had asked her a few times. She had said that it was nothing and Meng Qingdie could not find out. She had no choice but to think that she must have missed her family in Yun Meng.

Today, she had just gotten up and washed up when a few uninvited women came into the hall.

All the concubines in the harem, except for the beauties of the province, had come.

When those concubines saw Meng Qingdie, the shocked expressions on their faces could not be hidden.

They looked at each other one last time and sat down one by one.

Meng Qingdie could see their expressions. Although she was puzzled, she did not ask immediately.

Yu Longchen did not have many concubines. Including her, there were only four of them.

Below them were Concubine Shu, Worthy Lady Lyi, and Benefactor Lin.

Every one of them was beautiful, and each of them had a different kind of beauty.

"Although my position is a little higher, but in the end, I did not have all of you older sisters serving the Emperor early. Hence, it is your turn to call me older sister." Meng Qingdie smiled brightly and looked harmless.

Her words were very obvious. She called her older sister to give a few face.

The three of them did not say anything, but they looked down on Meng Qingdie in their hearts.

Concubine Shu's tone was also perfunctory, "Originally when Consort Qing was conferred the title, we sisters should come and congratulate Consort Qing. It is just that there are various matters in the Palace so it was delayed."

"No matter. Older sisters can only embroidered flowers in the Palace all day long. They really have no time to care about me." Meng Qingdie tidied her sleeves and did not look at the three of them, making people look very disdainful.

Although the three of them were angry, it was not good to flare up.

Benefactor Lin looked at Meng Qingdie and her eyes turned, "Consort Qing must be joking. Our family is all in the Imperial Capital so we naturally have to think about our parents. How can we be compared to Consort Qing? We were sent here from Yun Meng and we have a leisurely day."

"That's right, today is the 15th. According to the rules, we are going to Phoenix Hall to pay our respects to Empress. She thought that Consort Qing probably did not know, so she wanted to go with Consort Qing. " Worthy Lady Lyi answered from the side, as if she was a good person.

" Thank you, sisters. " Meng Qingdie acted as if she did not understand the sarcasm in Benefactor Lin's words and smiled gently. She took the lead to stand up, "Since that is the case, we should also stand up. We cannot let Empress wait for too long."

Meng Qingdie had always heard of this Empress. She did not even see anyone during the crowning ceremony. Adding the three children, she became more and more curious about what kind of person this Empress was.

The three of them walked behind her and widened their eyes. Their hearts were filled with doubt but they were too close. What they were saying now... She was afraid that if she heard them, there might be a good show to watch when she sees the Empress. I wonder what kind of expression the two of them have when they see each other. Just thinking about it makes me excited.

The group of them arrived at Phoenix Hall and the door slowly opened.

The palace maids came out to welcome them and a few of them went in and sat down.

After waiting for a while, Lingyue came out first, the Empress... It should not be said that Jiang Yingxue slowly came out and her expression was not very good.

Meng Qingdie was waiting for her to come out. When Jiang Yingxue came out, she was stunned but Jiang Yingxue was not surprised at all and was very calm.

"Concubine greets Empress, Your Ladyship is safe." The three of them stood up and bowed.

Meng Qingdie only reacted when she heard them speak. She stood up and bowed her head.

"Rise." Jiang Yingxue's voice was somewhat hoarse because she could put on makeup to look like Mu Ruqing. But she could not imitate her voice. Yu Longchen even gave her medicine. It made her voice become hoarse, so no one else could find any evidence against her.

"Thank you, Your Ladyship." The four of them got up and returned to their seats.

"Consort Qing and Your Ladyship are really alike." Concubine Shu had just sat back down when she spoke first, "If Consort Qing and Empress stand together, I'm afraid we will not be able to recognize who is who."

"Seeing Consort Qing, Bengong is also very shocked. I did not expect that in this world... There is still someone who can be so similar to Bengong. If they go out together, others might think that we are twin sisters." Jiang Yingxue pulled the stiff muscles on her face and put on a gentle smile.

... "" Meng Qingdie's hands and fingers were wrapped together and she looked at Jiang Yingxue with a very anxious gaze and did not know how to reply for a moment.

"Your Ladyship, it is time to take the medicine. The Emperor said that Your Ladyship should not blow the wind." Lingyue stood up and lowered her head and bent down. She looked very respectful but Meng Qingdie did not hear any respect from her tone.

"Bengong will be leaving first. Younger sister will do as she pleases." Jiang Yingxue slowly stood up with a sickly look.

"Farewell Empress."

After confirming that Jiang Yingxue had left, the few of them dared to stand up.

Benefactor Lin's tone was sour as if she was fighting for Jiang Yingxue's injustice, "The Emperor went to Consort Qing's place for a few days, right? Who knows if it was because Consort Qing's life was good and she had a face that was exactly the same as Empress's. Obtained the favour of the Emperor. Or was it because Consort Qing wanted to seduce the Emperor?"

" Sigh, Benefactor Lin can't speak like that. " Worthy Lady Lyi twisted her body and stood out. The moment she opened her mouth, she thought that it was because of Meng Qingdie's injustice. " Empress's health was not good. Perhaps the Emperor doted on her because of Consort Qing's face. When Empress recovers from her illness, I also do not know what Consort Qing should do about herself?"

" Empress saw that Consort Qing was calm when she saw that. Perhaps Empress had already thought of letting Consort Qing be the substitute first and then she will take good care of it in the future? " Such sarcasm naturally could not be excluded from Concubine Shu.

"Then Bengong is also stronger than all the older sisters. After all, Bengong is currently the person that the Emperor doted on the most. I wonder if the Emperor can remember the names of all the older sisters?" Meng Qingdie, who was at the back, directly knocked away the three people and strode forward. She ignored the words of the people behind her.

Concubine Shu was the first to be hit by her and was the most angry. She tidied her clothes and said, "Who do you think you are? You are just a concubine, yet you really put people in your eyes? "

" That's right. How dare a princess of Yun Meng be so arrogant in Dayong? I would like to see who can protect you! " Benefactor Lin also had an angry expression on her face.

Worthy Lady Lyi's expression was calm. She had ears on the other side of the wall. She was more cautious than the other two and said gently, "Sisters, I will take my leave first."

Looking at Worthy Lady Lyi's back view, Benefactor Lin took a step forward and raised her head proudly, "She is also not a good thing, weak."

Concubine Shu left on her own. Benefactor Lin lifted her skirt and followed.

Meng Qingdie returned to the hall and just as she entered the main hall, she heard Yu Jingmo's voice.

"Close the door! Don't let him in!" Meng Qingdie's eyes were red as she looked at the door.

Meng Faang wanted to say something but Guan moved quickly and closed the door in a few steps.

"Royal Mother? Royal Mother?" Yu Jingmo saw that the door was closed and called out twice in doubt. He thought that she was not awake yet, right?

"Crown Prince, Your Ladyship is too tired today. She just took a rest." Thinking that it was inappropriate, Meng Faang heard Yu Jingmo's call and went out to explain to Yu Jingmo.

"Okay, that official will come and see Royal Mother tomorrow." Yu Jingmo was very considerate and did not forget to remind her, "Let Royal Mother have a good rest. If there are any discomfort, come and tell me."

"This servant obeys." Meng Faang bowed and looked at Yu Jingmo who walked out of the door before turning and entering the room.

When Meng Faang entered, she saw Meng Qingdie standing at the door and was shocked, "Your Ladyship."

"He's gone?!"

" Yes. "

Meng Qingdie turned around and walked in.
