When Lian Lian brought her maid to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, a few beauties were already there.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at these beauties. She knew very well that the empress dowager wanted to show her off.
According to the rules, she served tea to the empress dowager and said, "Empress Dowager Jin An. "
The empress dowager's gaze was filled with disdain as she looked at Lian Lian Lian who was kneeling on the ground. She did not say anything to make her stand up. "You are now the queen and you are pregnant. According to the rules, you should know how to enrich his majesty's Harem, right? "
Lian Lian's eyes narrowed. It seemed that the empress dowager wanted her to continue kneeling and speaking. "I have no objections if his majesty wants to enrich his Harem. "
The empress dowager held Hai Lan's hand. "This is the newly appointed Jiayi by His Majesty. She stayed in His Majesty's dormitory yesterday. "
Hai Lan's face stiffened. All the other beauties here knew what had happened yesterday. She was afraid that Lian Lian also knew.
Lian Lian's brows sank. The empress dowager wanted her to kneel and speak, but she pulled her niece over. It was obvious that she wanted her to kneel for Hai Lan.
She did not wait for the empress dowager to speak and stood up. "So it's cousin Hai Lan. "
The empress dowager's face twitched. "Did I ask you to get up? "
Lian Lian Sat down on the Sofa opposite the empress dowager "If I don't get up, how can I ask my sisters to bow to me? According to the rules of our country, the women in the Harem have to bow to the empress after they are conferred the title. Only after obtaining the empress' approval can they be considered legitimate.
The empress dowager wouldn't want the few beauties and cousin Hai Lan to be illegitimate, right?"
No one could f * CKING bully her Sorry, she never had the temperament to be bullied!
The empress dowager's face turned pale. She originally wanted Lian Lian to kneel down to Hai Lan so that she could gain some prestige for Hai Lan.
However, Lian Lian's words were flawless and she could not find any words to refute them!
"I naturally want the few beauties and Hai Lan to have a good reputation. " She had no choice but to say her own words.
"Then let's begin! Who should kneel down to me first? " Lian Lian leaned comfortably on the back of the SOFA as her gaze swept across the few women.
Hai Lan only walked over after seeing her aunt nod. "I should bow down to Her Highness the Queen First. "
As she spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed to Lian Lian.
Next, it was the maid's turn to bring Hai Lan tea, and Hai Lan would serve it to Lian Lian. However, the empress dowager did not intend for Hai Lan to kowtow to Lian Lian, so she did not ask the maid to prepare tea.
Hai Lan stared blankly at the maids around her. None of them had given her tea, and she had already finished kowtowing. She stood up and wanted to stand up.
"Why is there no tea? Shouldn't there be tea? If there's no tea to drink, does that count as my approval or not? " Lian Lian choked when she saw that Hai Lan was about to stand up.
Hai Lan was so frightened that she knelt down again. "Well, there's no tea. "
Lian Lian's eyes flashed with a sharp gaze. "What nonsense are you talking about? Will there not even be tea leaves in the Empress Dowager's chamber? "
She lectured Hai Lan and told the empress dowager about it at the same time. She guaranteed that the empress dowager would not think of refuting her words.
The empress dowager's face darkened. "Go and prepare the tea. "
It obviously took time to prepare the tea, but Hai Lan continued to kneel like this. Her hands were clenched into fists. It was simply a complete disgrace!
When the tea was brought over, Hai Lan's weak body could no longer hold on.
She took the teacup and raised both hands in front of Lian Lian. "please have some tea, Queen! "
Lian Lian looked as if she had just seen the bandage on Hai Lan's head. She said in surprise, "Oh my, why is there bandage on your head? Could it be that his majesty was too violent in the night and hurt your head? "
Hai Lan's face was so pale that it had lost all color. "It's not his majesty, it's me who accidentally bumped into the wall. "
"Tsk Tsk, why are you so careless? No matter how much you play, you still have to take care of your body. " Lian Lian's hand never took the teacup from Hai Lan's hand, and the teacup was held by Hai Lan just like that.
Such an action of raising one's arm would cause one to feel sore after holding it for a while.
"Yes, thank you for your lesson, Queen. Please let the Queen have her tea! " Hai Lan had no choice but to remind Lian Lian.
However, Lian Lian had no intention of taking the teacup from Hai Lan's hand. Her hand reached out to Hai Lan's head and touched the gauze on Hai Lan's head.
"How pitiful! Does it still hurt? " Her hand touched the gauze.
Hai Lan's wound was touched by Lian Lian, causing her entire body to tremble in pain. The teacup in her hand shook and the tea inside spilled onto Lian Lian's body.
"AIYO! It's so hot! What does this mean? " Lian Lian stood up. Actually, the tea had been held for so long that it was no longer hot. However, the empress dowager had made things difficult for her, so she had to return it to her at any moment.
"Ah? " Hai Lan retracted her arm in fear. "I didn't do it on purpose! I was careless. "
Lian Lian's eyes narrowed. "Of course I know that you were careless. How could you deliberately spill hot tea on me? But my clothes are dirty. It's really impolite to accept the greetings of a few beauties. I'll go back and change. "
The empress dowager patted the Armrest of the SOFA. "It's just a piece of clothes. It's not considered impolite, right? "
"How can it not be considered impolite? Don't tell me that the empress dowager will wear dirty clothes and accept the greetings of a few beauties? Why don't the Empress Dowager set an example for me so that I can learn from the Empress Dowager and sit upright in dirty clothes? " Lian Lian snorted coldly.
The empress dowager stood up and walked towards Lian Lian. She lowered her voice and said, "don't go too far! Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face! "
Lian Lian said in the same volume, "has the empress dowager ever given me face? I advise the empress dowager not to harm others and harm yourself. After all, you can't protect Hai Lan for a lifetime! You've helped her form so many grudges, you're causing her to die early! "
"You dare to curse her to die early! " The Empress Dowager growled.
"I didn't curse her, you're harming her! I wonder who will live longer, me or the Empress Dowager? " Lian Lian said coldly.
It wasn't considered a warning, she just wanted the empress dowager to think clearly and not harm her niece.
Those who could survive in this palace were all people with deep backgrounds. The empress dowager had pushed Hai Lan out to put her at the center of the storm. Even if she didn't make a move and angered those beauties, they would still make a move.
"Just wait and see! My son will not be manipulated by you! " The empress dowager said.
She had never liked Lian Lian. It was mostly because of Lian Lian's personality. Lian Lian's personality was very strong and she wasn't someone she could flatten. She didn't like a daughter-in-law who wasn't under her control.
"I don't want to manipulate him, but he doesn't like to be manipulated by you either. " Lian Lian strode out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
No one could hear what the empress dowager and Lian Lian said. They only saw Lian Lian leave in front of the Empress Dowager, bossing her around.
Hai Lan stood up. She felt that the beautiful women's eyes were even more disdainful and cold, as if they were laughing at her!
"Aunt, the empress didn't drink my tea. What should we do? " She said worriedly.
"She dares? When His Majesty comes, I'll let her drink! " The empress dowager clenched her hands into fists.
Today's breakfast was to be eaten together. Lian Lian returned to her bedroom to change her clothes and went to the flower hall to have breakfast.
In the Flower Hall of the Glass Room, she saw Gaia, who was sitting at the head of the table, walking towards GAIA.
"GAIA, your queen doesn't drink a few beauties' tea. It seems that she has a problem with you enriching your Harem! " The empress dowager said in an overbearing manner.
