Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 846

Lady Shu was about to explain, but Empress Hua didn't seem to give her the chance. She just smiled faintly and said, "Maybe Lady Shu has forgotten about it. It doesn't matter. After all, she is so busy dealing with the imperial household affairs. I'm free today. If Lady Shu has time, please send the seal of the Empress here within today."

Lady Shu's face darkened. She didn't say anything for a while. Xia Huanyu frowned and said coldly, "No need to wait. I think she is leisurely now. Go to Shuya Palace to fetch the seal right now."

As soon as Xia Huanyu finished speaking, Lady Shu's face turned paler. Finally, she gritted her teeth and bowed to Xia Huanyu. "Yes, Your Majesty." Then she walked out slowly.

Before the competition between Lady Shu and the new Empress, which the ladies had been looking forward to for a long time, began, Lady Shu had already lost completely. It was not because that her skills were inferior to that of the other, but that Xia Huanyu was being partial.

After walking out of Weiyang Palace, Lady Shu kicked the corner of the wall and closed her eyes. It took her a long time to calm down. She walked to the carriage and said softly, "Let's go back to the Shuya Palace."

Lyu Ya, who followed Lady Shu, helped Lady Shu get on the carriage and said in a low voice, "Empress Hua is too arrogant. She thinks the imperial household is under her control just because His Majesty is on her side now. She starts to find fault with Your Highness without even knowing what's going on in the Palace. She is really over-confident."

Lady Shu sneered with a bit of tiredness in her eyes, "She is not overconfident. She is deliberately targeting me. Except her, I have the highest rank in His Majesty's harem, and I have been taking in charge of the imperial household affairs for a long time. She is a smart person, and she knows that as long as I have to show respect to her, she will have a foothold in this imperial household. You'll see, from today on, many concubines will definitely join her camp. She is now the apple of his Majesty's eye, but I am just a nominal consort."

Hearing what Lady Shu said, Lyu Ya lowered her head and said with a gloomy face, "Your Highness have experienced all ups and downs in the imperial household for so many years. How could Your Highness just let her do whatever she wants..."

Lady Shu sneered. After a while, she said, "I've experienced all ups and downs. You are quite right. I've been in the Palace for twenty years. I had to pretend as a maid to serve others and I was being locked in the Cold Palace for so long. I suffered a lot and finally gained my current status. I'm not the kind of person who just waits passively for the end. If she wants the Empress's seal, I'll give it to her. It's not a big deal. I'll see whether or not she is able to hold it.

Lady Shu went back to the Shuya Palace without any delay. She took the Empress's seal and rushed to Weiyang Palace in a carriage.

When she returned to the Weiyang Palace, Xia Huanyu was no longer there. The scene in the Weiyang Palace seemed to be quite harmonious. Empress Hua seated on the seat of honor was talking to a lady with a gentle smile.

When Lady Shu walked in, she saw it was Lady Li from Qingyang Palace who was talking with the Empress.

"When you came to Weiyang Palace yesterday, I was taking a nap, so the guard refused. Now that I see you, I regret having not met you earlier..." Empress Hua said excitedly. She took off the white jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Lady Li. "This is a gift from His Majesty when I came back to the Palace a few days ago. Since we hit it off with each other, I want to give this to you."

Lady Li was flattered. She took it over and thanked her with trepidation. As soon as she stood up, she saw Lady Shu standing at the door. Lady Li was shocked. Lady Shu must have seen what happened just now and thought that she had been on the Empress's side now.

She always feared the scheming Lady Shu. But...

Looking up at Empress Hua who was sitting on the seat of honor with a calm face, Lady Li pondered over the matter. Maybe Lady Shu was a resourceful woman, but judging from the first confrontation between Lady Shu and Empress Hua just now, the Empress was by no means simple.

Besides, the Empress is still loved by His Majesty. His Majesty's favor is the most attractive thing to all the concubines in the Palace anytime and anywhere.

Thinking of this, Lady Li looked down at the bracelet in her hand with a smile and said happily, "This bracelet looks so good. It must be a unique treasure. Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Lady Shu remained unmoved. She glanced at the ladies in the hall indifferently and found almost all ladies had got some rewards. Lady Shu sneered in her heart. Empress Hua was good at winning people's support.

"Your Majesty, here is the seal." Lady Shu approached the Empress slowly, bowed to her, took the seal from Lyu Ya hand, and handed it over with a smile.

Glancing at the seal indifferently, Empress Hua ordered Qian Zhuo, who was standing beside her, "Qian Zhuo, put the seal in the bedroom."

Qian Zhuo took the seal and entered the bedroom.
