"I don't care if the imperial concubine's status is below mine."
This meant that although Yi Jiazi's status was below her as an imperial concubine, Lengmei disdained to fight back due to her low status.
Tang Xia would definitely fight back.
So she was warning Yi Jiazi to stop where it should stop.
After bending her knees, Lyuyou went and sent her message immediately.
A trace of warmth floated in the air while Tang Xia squinted her eyes with some emotion flickering in her eyes.
When Tang Xia got back to her hall, one indistinct figure appeared in her mind.
The man was wearing in silver armor and smiled at her haughtily against the sunlight like a male fairy.
"Have you pa.s.sed on the message?" Tang Xia asked in a softer voice with her eyes closed and curly eyelashes hanging over her tender skin.
"Yes, Your Grace. I have pa.s.sed your precise words to Yi Jiazi. However, she had no reaction, just saying 'I got it'."
Lyuyou paused for a second then asked, "What else do you need me to do?"
Tang Xia said with a wave of her hands and a trace coldness flickering in her eyes, "Nothing else."
"Prepare the material for another cloth bag and find more materials of varied colors this time."
Tang Xia said softly.
That Chu Tiankuo's handsome face appeared wantonly and indistinctly in her mind, which made her annoyed but helpless.
But she just wanted to do something.
Although Tang Xia wanted to make up with Chu Tiankuo, his heart was always vacant. Having spent much more time to sewing this cloth bag, Tang Xia was worried that it would be too perfunctory to present him with only a cloth bag.
At last, she sighed disappointedly and gave up.
"Your Grace, you have been annoyed for several hours."
Lyuyou presented the fruit tray to Tang Xia with her sleeves rolled up, then stood aside.
Tang Xia nodded and asked with impatience in her peach blossom eyes, "Is something wrong?"
Lyuyou raised her body slightly and replied, "It is an apology from the emperor who took a detour to the hall where Lengmei lives."
Tang Xia raised her chin with a poker face.
Several days had pa.s.sed, and Helian Jue visited the Yanyue hall where Lengmei lived more frequently.
It meant that Lengmei won the emperor's favor back.
On the other hand, the cloth bad that Tang Xia had sewed for the emperor's sake was never seen again.
"Your Grace, here comes the flowers sent from Lianyue hall again. What should we do with it?" Lyuyou asked, pus.h.i.+ng and opening the hollowed-out door then lit some aromatherapy quickly.
Lianyue hall was where Yi Jiazi lived.
"You don't need to report that again. Just send it back as it is."
Tang Xia said with her eyebrows frowned tightly and her delicate hand supporting her forehead gently.
"Ok." Lyuyou raised her body slightly then moved to the side of Tang Xia and ma.s.saged her temples gently with her delicate fingers.
"It seems that Your Grace has been exhausted recently." Lyuyou said in a soft voice.
Tang Xia replied in a barely audible voice.
"Flowers are sent to us everyday from Lianyue hall during this half month. What does Yi Jiazi plan to do?" Lyuyou asked in an extremely soft voice so that Tang Xia would not be disturbed.
Tang Xia squinted her eyes while sunlight cast on the side of her face, revealing her fair skin and blood-red lips.
It turned out that it had been for half a month.
"Lengmei now owns both grace and honor. It is strange that arrogant Lengmei would stoop to please the emperor." Lyuyou said, wondering why.
Tang Xia closed her eyes, "It is not strange, but in her current situation, she cannot keep her arrogance any longer."
She said.
It was known to all that Lengmei was arrogant. However, she restrained her arrogance a lot since Yi Jiazi came half a month before.
She hid all her haughtiness just because she did not want to lose out to Yi Jiazi, a woman owning nothing that could compare with her.
"Your Grace, your words become more incredible these days." Lyuyou said softly.
Tang Xia did not utter a single word more and just enjoyed the slight floral fragrance. It seemed that she became more dependent on these flowers, maybe because there was too much for her to worry about lately.
"Your Grace! Oh no!"
Anran pushed the wooden door and shouted with a high-pitched and hurried voice.
"The-the emperor demanded you to go to the Shangshufang."
Tang Xia raised her eyebrow slightly. Being called by Helian Jue suddenly truly surprised her, but it was not odd, so she replied, "Ok."
"Yi Jiazi is there, too…" Anran's voice turned low abruptly.
"I do not know why, but I was just pulled aside by Eunuch Shun when I pa.s.sed by the Shangshufang. Eunuch Shun told me that the emperor went into a rage in the Shangshufang and wants me to bring you there immediately."
Still feeling frightened, Anran said, "I consulted Eunuch Shun, but did not get the whole story. Eunuch Shun told me that it was Yi Jiazi who blubbering, asking Your Grace to go there."
Knowing what it was all about, Tang Xia wore an indistinct smile.
"So it is sort of a letter of challenge to me by Yi Jiazi."
Guarded by ma.s.sive forces, the Shangshufang was the place where Helian Jue visited most frequently.
Tang Xia nodded slightly to Eunuch Shun in front of the door of the hall, "Please notify the emperor that I am here, thank you."
Knowing why Tang Xia was here, Eunuch Shun came back from the room soon and said, "Your Grace, this way, please."
Before they walked into the main hall, Shun Decai whispered to Tang Xia's ears, "Yi Jiazi is well prepared this time, please be careful."
Hearing his words, Tang Xia fixed her eyes on him gratefully for a moment.
"Thank you for your advice." Tang Xia said.
"Is it Yue Ji?"
Helian Jue's cold voice came into her ears, and Tang Xia faked a smile then bowed to the emperor respectfully, "How are you, Your Majesty."
When she raised her head, she looked with a sidelong glance at Helian Jue.
Helian Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, his charismatic face full of coldness. But he relaxed a bit after seeing Tang Xia's lovely salute.
"Rise." Tang Xia won Helian Jue's favor back again with just a few words.
"You sure have the nerve to come here." Yi Jiazi said, standing at one side.
Then Tang Xia turned her eyes slowly to her, but glanced away immediately.
It was obvious that Tang Xia disdained to look her straight in the eye.
Wearing a purple dress with a peony sewn by gold threads in the hemline, Yi Jiazi tied half of her long hair up and had the rest hang down slowly on her shoulder with a cinnabar point in her forehead. A charming beauty, who combined coquettish purple with cinnabar.
However, Tang Xia would never think highly of her no matter how splendid her clothes were.
"Now that you dare to call me sister, how can I not come?" Tang Xia said in an apathetic voice with coldness around her eyebrows that even Lyuyou felt frightened a little bit.
"Why do you, my dear sister, treat me like this?" Yi Jiazi turned into a delicate appearance right away, with a trace of shrewdness flickering in her eyes as she sobbed elegantly.
Tang Xia maintained her poker face, "I hope you know well about your status. You are just a junior imperial concubine to me. Although you call me sister, you never bow to me and even talk rudely to me."
Then she wore a heavy look, "Do you not know the commandments of the palace?"
Hearing Tang Xia's words, Yi Jiazi became terrified, frowning her eyebrows. And Helian Jue remained silent, acquiescing in what Tang Xia had said.
Yi Jiazi had no choice but to bow to Tang Xia grinding her teeth, "I hope sister can forgive my stupidity."
Tang Xia wore a haughty face with no trace of a smile in her mouth, which looked a bit like Chu Tiankuo, "Then do not label people at will."
Yi Jiazi froze her look, "You are too exaggerated…"
Having enjoyed enough of a show, Helian Jue looked Tang Xia's face up and down, sighing with emotion as if it had been too long since he had last saw her.
"My Yue Ji has become more charismatic."
"Yi Jiazi," Helian Jue said with a cold voice, fixing his eyes on Tang Xia, "Tell me your grievances."
Hearing his words, Yi Jiazi lowered her head with glistening eyes.
"Born in Southland, I have loved flowers and plants since I was a little girl. So I liked the sachet sewn by sister Yue Ji and admired her more and more."
Yi Jiazi said in such a soft voice that Tang Xia thought more than once that she would not be able to resist this kind of charm if she were a man.
"I am foolish, and my admiration for Sister grew deeper, but I did not know what to do. Inspired by my slave girl, Biluo, I presented a fresh bouquet to Sister every day."
Biluo who stood aside at first then stepped forward and said, "The best fresh flowers in the small garden are picked off by her every night, then I present them from her to Yue Ji."
Tang Xia lost her patience with coldness on her face. It was just a play directed and acted by Yi Jiazi, and it bored her already before the start.
Helian Jue said angrily, unsatisfied with Biluo's interruption of the dialogue with an unclear look, "How dare you pipe into the dialogue between the masters? Is it because the rules are not stressed in Lianyue hall that you do not know that you should respect your masters?"
Biluo froze and bowed to the emperor immediately remaining silent.
After a glance at Biluo, Yi Jiazi said, "But it seems that sister Yue Ji does not like my present that she gives it back without touching it every time."
"It was yesterday when I felt unwell, so I asked the imperial physician to diagnose me. Then I knew that I had inhaled too much poisonous powder which had set me up for complications later in life. However, my body belongs to the emperor so I dare not neglect that."
"The root of the problem was found when I summoned all the slave girls in Lianyue hall."
As she finished her sentence, Yi Jiazi cried with a long streak of tears on her cheek, "It is sister Yue Ji who sends back my bouquet every time. The imperial physician said it contained a trace amount of poison so that it could not be noticed easily. I felt unwell after inhaling the poison for half a month."
After saying her words, her tears dropped onto the purple dress hemlines on the ground.
Helian Jue moved his lips slightly but remained silent, frowning.
Then Yi Jiazi bowed to the ground to Helian Jue with tears in her eyes.
"I am not afraid of death. What I fear is to be unable to complete all my wishes before I die."
"I have been dreaming of obtaining the emperor's favor one day, and I cherish every opportunity to dine with you. I am not afraid of death but of losing the opportunity to be with you."
Tang Xia's look became darker, and she frowned her thin eyebrows as she regarded Yi Jiazi's greasy words.
What Helian Jue loved most was his imperial concubine regarding him as their lives. Although Yi Jiazi's words were full of loopholes, Helian Jue was too happy to notice that.
"Yi Jiazi knows exactly what Helian Jue favors most." Tang Xia thought.
Sure enough, Helian Jue supported Yi Jiazi who was down on her knees up then held her in his arms and looked at Tang Xia with a trace of coldness in his eyes.
"Yue Ji, any explanations?" Helian Jue looked at Tang Xia's face mercilessly.
Tang Xia knew that it was best to pretend to be helpless. However, in the face of the unpredictable Helian Jue, Tang Xia lost any interest.
