A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace-Chapter 994: Hostility

"Bitch! Bitch!"

Consort Shih Pin could no longer hold back and swept all the cups and dishes off the table.

’Crack!’

’Crash!’

All the teacups shattered on the ground into pieces.

The Third Princess was so scared that she began to cry loudly.

Consort Shih Pin glared angrily.

"Cry, cry, cry! What are you crying for?"

"You’re all princesses, look at the Fourth Princess and then look at yourself!"

The Third Princess had never seen such a scene.

She immediately cried even harder, her lips turning a bit blue.

The wetnurse nanny hurriedly held her in her arms, trembling, and said.

"Madam, the princess is still young and can’t withstand fright!"

Consort Shih Pin sneered coldly.

"Young? Is the Fourth Princess not young? Look at her!"

"She’s the Emperor’s precious jewel."

"And what about you? You’re nothing?"

"Still crying, look at yourself how little you amount to!"

"Having a foxy face is of no use, yet you can’t get any attention?"

Consort Shih Pin originally intended to use the Third Princess to lure the Emperor to visit more often.

Then she could put on an act of ’turning over a new leaf.’

Remind the Emperor cousin slowly of the emotions from back then.

This way, even if she couldn’t regain the position of Noble Consort, she would at least not have to stay in such an awkward position as a consort.

Unfortunately.

Zhao Junyao was good to the princesses, but he didn’t visit often.

Even seeing the Emperor once or twice a month was lucky for Consort Shih Pin.

Moreover, Zhao Junyao each visit would only sit for a while, look at the child and leave.

He wasn’t even willing to have tea or meals.

How could he have the mood to see if Consort Shih Pin had turned over a new leaf?

Even if she had, wasn’t it what she should do?

As for past emotions.

Those are things of the past.

Emperors are most forgetful. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Emotions are the least cherished in his heart.

What’s more, hasn’t he already recited enough?

If it were someone else who committed those things, forget the position of a consort, not being sent to the Cold Palace would be lucky!

So Zhao Junyao has no feelings of guilt!

Seeing her mother consort so fierce, the Third Princess cried even harder.

In a moment of urgency, Consort Shih Pin cursed out loud.

"Shut up! Just like your shameless mother!"

The wetnurse nanny dared not refute and could only bow her head tightly holding the princess.

Beside them, Ying Qiu hurriedly tugged her sleeve.

"Madam, be cautious!"

The Third Princess was already over six years old and remembered things.

Madam’s outburst could inevitably hurt the child.

Furthermore, knowing the truth in the future won’t be good for Madam.

These old stories are better left unsaid.

Consort Shih Pin also regretted her words, angrily glaring at the nanny and shouting.

"What are you standing for, quickly take the princess away!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Madam, please calm down, the servant will take the princess away immediately!"

With that, she hurriedly took the princess away.

Consort Shih Pin finally did not pursue further.

Ying Qiu dared not advise any further.

She squatted alone and silently cleaned up the messy spill.

Consort Shih Pin staggered to the window.

Reaching out to open the window, she let the cold, unfeeling north wind freely scrape into her face.

After a moment of silence, Consort Shih Pin suddenly burst into tears and laughter.

"Haha!"

"Hahaha!"

"I’m so foolish! I’m the biggest fool in the world!"

"To actually expect the Emperor to change his mind!"

"Hahaha! So ridiculous!"

"It’s truly a great joke!"

Ying Qiu was so startled she quickly stepped forward.

"Madam! Don’t be like this!"

"If you’re upset, just cry it out, holding it in will make you sick!"

Consort Shih Pin turned back weakly, a face full of tears and said.

"Sick?"

"What’s sickness?"

"That woman has become Empress, will there still be room for me in the Harem?"

After all, she once openly said she would kill her.

It’s impossible not to bear a grudge.

Ying Qiu shook her head, "Madam, no way!"

"The Late Empress couldn’t handle the likes of us for so many years, her skills don’t seem stronger than the Late Empress!"

"Besides, the Harem eventually belongs to the Emperor!"

"Plotting against Palace Consorts leads to beheading, the Emperor wouldn’t stand idly by!"

Consort Shih Pin laughed again, "Haha, beheading?"

"She has four children!"

"Those four children are now all legitimate! Beheading?"

"For the sake of the children, the Emperor won’t do anything to her!"

"And me... Haha!"

"What do I amount to?"

Consort Shih Pin could no longer speak, clutching her chest, crying out pained.

Ying Qiu felt extremely distressed, also cried along.

Eventually, both master and servant hugged, crying painfully.

Crying lasted almost half a Shi Chen, Ying Qiu gradually managed to comfort Consort Shih Pin.

Madam, no matter what, we still need to get through the days!"

"Heaven cannot force people to death, we must have a way to live!"

After saying this, she wiped away her tears.

"Let me prepare a congratulatory gift first!"

"Others must have prepared gifts, we can’t lack them!"

"Let’s stay quiet in the future, do what others do, okay?"

Without waiting for Consort Shih Pin to speak, Ying Qiu hurriedly left.

Consort Shih Pin did not stop.

After Ying Qiu left, she slowly turned around to look at the cold scenery outside the window.

"Empress? Hmph?"

"You think becoming Empress is all good?"

"If I’m miserable, none of you will be happy!"

Her eyes filled with malice and hatred.

Her fists clenched tightly, her nails digging into flesh painfully but without realization.

After Ying Qiu returned, her expression returned to normal.

...

In the days after the decree was issued.

Duanning Palace was bustling with activity.

Gifts from every palace and courtyard had piled up into small hills.

During the chilly days of the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Xizi and Xiao Zhu Zi were so busy they were sweating profusely.

When Xia Ruqing passed by the front hall with Yue Er in her arms.

She herself was stunned.

"So many?"

Xiao Xizi hurriedly saluted.

"Empress, some have already been put into storage! Initially, there were even more!"

She nodded and asked again.

"Who sent them all?!"

Xiao Xizi thought for a moment.

"They came from every palace and courtyard!"

"Besides the rewards from the Emperor and Empress Dowager, the rest are from the madams of each palace!"

"Consort Cheng and Consort Hui were the first to send gifts!"

"Then several consorts sent theirs, and the rest were sent by the Honored Ladies!"

Xia Ruqing smiled.

"Send me the gift list from the Emperor, organize the rest and put them into storage!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Xizi replied.

Xia Ruqing then carried her daughter into the inner chamber.

Near noon, Yue Er was also hungry.

Xia Ruqing called the wetnurse nanny to take Yue Er down for feeding.

Then she picked up the gift list and started reading.

The list was quite long.

From the top down, it was mostly pearls and gems.

Being a Favored Consort for so many years, she didn’t lack these things at all.

So her interest was quite minimal.

However, towards the end, there was a Fish Playing with Lotus Leaves screen that looked interesting.

She laughed and said.

"Move this screen up for me to see, if it looks nice, place it in my room!"

"Alright!"

Zi Yue and Zi Su replied.

Soon, the screen was brought up.

Xia Ruqing took one look and was utterly amazed.

"Wow! What is this made of, why is it transparent!"

Zi Su stepped forward to answer.

"Madam, this was embroidered by hand by an embroideress!"

"It is said the threads are divided into dozens of strands, even the silk threads are transparent!"
