Chapter 529 I’m sleepy when I wake up early

Wearing a black and red python robe, nine four-clawed python dragons soared into the sky, their scales and claws shining with silver light, revealing a hint of coldness.

Wu Dou was stunned for a moment when he saw Chu Qingmeng stepping out of the warm room. Although they were two people with completely different appearances, he still saw some similarities between the eldest princess and his own master.

Especially this dragon robe and the cold expression on his face, he looks exactly like my master. Even the other princes don't look so much like my master.

Shuang Cheng and Fei Ying followed him into the palace. When they reached the Qianqing Palace, a young eunuch came out and said, "Greetings, Princess. His Majesty is currently discussing matters with several officials from the Hanlin Academy. He has just instructed this servant that if the Princess arrives, please go to the side hall and rest."

Chu Qingmeng responded and followed Wu Yong to the side hall to rest.

After entering the side hall, Chu Qingmeng leaned back on the couch, feeling a little tired. He had gotten up early in the morning, so he asked Shuang Cheng to pick up a book from the desk and read it.

Outside the palace, Wu Yong looked at Concubine Shu as she approached. She bowed and said politely, "Your Highness, His Majesty is still in a meeting. Why did you come in person?"

"Today, the kitchen made roasted deer tendons. I thought the emperor would like it, so I personally delivered it."

"Your Majesty is concerned about His Majesty. Please wait a moment." Wu Yong bowed and stepped aside. While His Majesty discussed state affairs, the concubines in the harem could only wait.

The heating in the hall was very hot, and Chu Qingmeng had recovered completely after waiting for a quarter of an hour. He had finished the tea at hand. The young eunuch tactfully replaced the cup with another cup of hot tea and took off his cloak. Feiying stepped forward to take it and handed him a hawthorn pill. Chu Qingmeng opened one and picked up the book again.

"Your Majesty, you cannot enter the Qianqing Palace without the emperor's oral order..." There was no need to stop Concubine Shu from entering the palace.

"You're doing your job better and better! How dare you stop me?!"

When Concubine Shu saw a young eunuch bringing tea into the side hall, she knew that there was someone there. The emperor has favored Concubine Fang more recently, and she had asked the emperor twice but failed. Otherwise, she would not have come in person to intercept someone today.

If she still lets that little bitch serve her, then wouldn't she really have no chance of turning things around?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you really can't go in..." Although Wu Yong tried his best to stop her, he was just a servant after all, so how could he stop his master?

As soon as Concubine Shu entered the side hall, she saw Chu Qingmeng curled up on the couch. Her anger instantly turned into shock, and then her alarm bells rang.

She hadn't forgotten the look the Emperor gave her at the palace banquet! And now, he was even appearing in a side hall of the Qianqing Palace?!

Chu Qingmeng got up early and was already a little sleepy because of the heat from the floor heater. When Concubine Shu yelled and opened the door to let in the cold air, he felt a little annoyed. He glanced at her coldly, leaned back on the couch without moving, and continued to read the book.

But Concubine Shu would not let her go so easily. "The eldest princess is so arrogant that she ignored me when she saw me."

"I don't have to perform formalities when I see the superior. I don't know when the concubine became more honorable than the superior." Chu Qingmeng turned a page of the book nonchalantly, with a cold tone.

Concubine Shu was choked by these words, but then she continued, "The eldest princess's prominent position is entirely due to the grace of His Majesty. I believe that the eldest princess, in her high position, can also set an example for all women in the world and strictly abide by the virtues of a woman to repay His Majesty's grace."

Chu Qingmeng closed the book, raised her eyes and sneered, "I don't understand what the Concubine Shu means."

"Chu! You're just a princess of a different surname, and you dare to speak to me like that?!" Concubine Shu was instantly furious at Chu Qingmeng's disdainful gaze. "I have been married to His Majesty for over a decade, and the Empress Dowager is my aunt. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you?"

"Oh, what are you going to do to me?" Chu Qingmeng looked at her with a playful look. She had never seen a palace fight before, so she decided to see it today.

There's no need to be frightened and sweating. The Concubine Shu has been in great favor for over a decade, and the Princess is the most beloved of His Majesty. What will happen if these two clash? He bowed quietly and retreated to the front hall to report to His Majesty.

The old officials from the Hanlin Academy had just been dismissed from the main hall, so there was no need to report the incident in the side hall. Mo Yunting became anxious instantly and immediately threw down the memorial in his hand and headed for the side hall.

Dayu's hierarchy divided the eldest princess into the same rank as the prince, but both the prince and the eldest princess were external officials, and their status was lower than that of the empress above the rank of concubine.

Chu Qingmeng got down from the couch and stood in front of Concubine Shu. She was half a head taller than Concubine Shu, and the way she stood there made her look more imposing than Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu subconsciously took a step back, but when she saw the kiss mark on Chu Qingmeng's neck, jealousy swallowed up her reason, and she sternly ordered the servants, "Madam Qin! The princess contradicted me! Slap her face twenty times!"

"Stop! How dare you!" Mo Yunting rushed over and saw Nanny Qin raising her hand to hit her. He looked at Nanny Qin and Concubine Shu with murderous eyes. How could they have the courage to touch this precious girl whom he couldn't bear to hit?!

The aura that suddenly erupted from him was so terrifying that even Wu Yong, who had been following him, was startled. He strode quickly to Chu Qingmeng and kicked Nanny Qin away, "Who told you to enter the side hall?!"
