Song QingShu, who was on the roof, listened to the young girl's affectionate recount of his life. He felt a soft spot in his heart being touched. He thought to himself that although a young married woman's plump and soft body was good, a young girl's heart was even more precious.
Just as he was about to burst into tears, he heard Ah Ke fly into a rage. He couldn't help but frown, wondering what had happened to her?
Li Yuanzhi was also dumbfounded. She had told Song Qingshu's story according to the other party's request, but who would have thought that she would become angry? She was originally a young lady from a noble family, so when had she ever suffered such anger? She coldly snorted, "You told me to tell you. If you don't want to listen, then forget it. This young miss can't afford to serve the Niangniang's temper. This is my room, leave by yourself."
"Bold lowly servant, how dare you speak to the Niangniang like this!"
The palace maids outside the door heard Ah Ke's call and came in. When they heard Li Yuanzhi's words, they all angrily shouted.
Li Yuanzhi could barely tolerate Ah Ke. After all, the other party had helped her out of trouble just now. But this group of palace maids were shouting in front of her, which made her angry. "Who do you think you are!"
Her figure flashed and she appeared in front of the palace maids who were cursing the most fiercely and slapped them several times.
When Ah Ke heard what Li Yuanzhi said before, she was already suppressing a belly full of evil fire. Seeing this, she became even angrier. She flew over to stop Li Yuanzhi and the two women instantly fought.
Although Li Yuanzhi was not a master, she was still a disciple of Wudang. Lu Feiqing had laid a very solid foundation for her. Ah Ke, on the other hand, had only learned some martial arts from the guards of Ping Xi Wang Mansion. She was not Li Yuanzhi's opponent and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
The group of accompanying palace maids immediately panicked and hurriedly shouted. When the guards outside heard the commotion, they rushed over. When they saw the situation in the room and saw the two Niangniang fighting, they couldn't help but secretly complain.
Needless to say, Ah Ke was now the most favored imperial concubine in the palace.
Li Yuanzhi was not someone to be trifled with. Although she had not been officially conferred the title, the people in the palace had subconsciously regarded her as an imperial concubine. It was just that for some reason, she was suddenly banished to the cold palace. After all, her loss of chastity was related to the reputation of the royal family. The news was deliberately blocked, and not many people knew about it.
Although she had been banished to the Cold Palace, who knew if she would be favored again one day. After all, this kind of thing had happened many times in previous dynasties. At that time, when the other party came to settle the score, they, the small shrimps, were nothing.
"You guys came at the right time. Grab her and slap her hard!" The guards were in a dilemma. Ah Ke saw them and immediately ordered.
The guards looked at each other and could only helplessly reply, "Yes!" Even if Li Yuanzhi counterattacked, it was a matter for the future. After all, Wu Fei was favored now. If they offended her, the brothers would probably be in trouble immediately. They had no choice but to make a choice.
On the roof, Song Qingshu's face darkened. When Li Yuanzhi and Ah Ke were fighting, he could have stayed out of it. After all, Ah Ke could not hurt her. But now, these imperial palace guards' martial arts were not weak. Li Yuanzhi was most likely not a match for them. How could he sit back and watch her suffer such humiliation?
"All of you, stop!" A woman's anxious voice came from afar.
Song QingShu looked in that direction in confusion. Although the person who had spoken sounded anxious, her voice was soft and carried a bit of Suzhou's Wu Nong soft language. It was as if she was born without the ability to get angry. He hadn't even seen her in person, but just hearing her voice made one's body go limp.
Soon, a woman appeared at the courtyard's entrance. Song Qingshu looked up and saw that she was about forty years old. She wore a light yellow Daoist robe. Her features were picturesque, and her beauty was indescribable. In Song Qingshu's life, he had seen all the beauties in the world. But he had to admit that among all the women he knew, only Zi Shan Dragon King, Xiao Long Nu, Huang Rong, Ge Bi, and a few others could compare to her. The others, like Ah Jiu, were also elegant and refined, but in terms of pure beauty, they could not compare to the woman in front of him.
Of course, Song QingShu had long since passed the stage of judging a woman's charm by appearance alone. Although the other women's looks were slightly inferior to this person's, they each had their own strengths, and their combined charm might not be inferior.
That woman stood at the door, her gaze sweeping across everyone's faces. When everyone made eye contact with her, they felt as if their whole body was immersed in warm water, indescribably comfortable. The room that was incomparably noisy a moment ago was silent. Suddenly, a 'clang' sound was heard as an imperial bodyguard's saber fell to the ground. Then, another 'clang' sound was heard as another person's saber fell to the ground.
Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh. As expected of the beautiful Chen Yuanyuan, who could cause the downfall of cities and countries, she was truly worthy of being called Chen Yuanyuan. At the same time, he felt strange. Why would Chen Yuanyuan also appear in this palace? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Wu Sangui was really willing to go all out. Not only was a beautiful daughter not enough, but in order to get closer to the Southern Song Alliance, he even walked the path of a madam.
Ah Ke saw everyone's reaction, proud and dissatisfied. She coldly snorted and jogged over to help the beautiful woman. "Mother, why are you here?"
"Greetings, Silent Hermit." Hearing Ah Ke's greeting, the group of guards immediately confirmed Chen Yuanyuan's identity. They hurriedly bowed and gulped.
Previously, they had heard a rumor that Concubine Wu's mother cultivated in the palace without her hair and was even more beautiful than Concubine Wu. They didn't quite believe it. After all, Chen Yuanyuan lived in seclusion and rarely showed her face. Most of the guards had seen Concubine Wu with their own eyes. Ah Ke's beauty had already stunned them, and they couldn't imagine that there could be a woman more beautiful than her in this world. But now that they had seen her with their own eyes, they realized that they were frogs at the bottom of a well.
Chen Yuanyuan had seen many men in the world lose their souls when they saw her, so she didn't mind it. She only slightly nodded in response. However, in the eyes of the guards, she was blushing, and her eyes were sparkling. For a moment, the entire room was filled with charm.
Song QingShu secretly smacked his lips. He thought to himself, This Chen Yuanyuan is really born with charm. She obviously didn't deliberately use her charm, but her every movement is so flirtatious, causing men to be captivated by her. If she learned the art of charm, which man in this world can resist her charm?
"What are you doing?" Chen Yuanyuan's cherry lips trembled, causing the group of men to blush again.
"Reporting to Silent Hermit, this woman was rude to Concubine Wu. We were about to capture her and hand her over to Concubine Wu," the group of guards said one after another, as if they were trying to show off in front of Chen Yuanyuan.
Among everyone present, apart from Song Qingshu, Li Yuanzhi was the first to regain her senses. When she saw their ugly behavior, she couldn't help but snort coldly. "A toad lusting after a swan's flesh."
The group of guards first blushed when she hit the nail on the head. Then, they flew into a rage out of humiliation and started scolding her.
By this time, Chen Yuanyuan had already learned the whole story from her daughter. She looked at Li Yuanzhi with pity in her eyes. "Miss Li has a hard life. Don't make things difficult for her. Let's go back."
