The First Genocide's Grudge

  The next day.

  Early in the morning, Mei'er came to Feng Qi Palace to pay respects to Yeziqing. Perhaps it was Yeziqing's deliberate arrangement that all the concubines were present today.

  Although those concubines were all nominal consorts of the emperor, they were all daughters of high-ranking officials and inevitably looked down on Mei'er, who had just entered the palace.

  As the saying goes, a woman has three points of resentment without any enmity! When they saw Mei'er's stunning face, their faces changed, and in the exchange of eyes, it was already a spark of electricity countless times!

  Mei'er still slightly nodded, and did not kneel down to Yezi Qing. Before Yezi Qing could speak, a woman in red clothes suddenly stood up and scolded Mei'er, pointing at her: "Xixia Holy Girl, you have such a big attitude, seeing the Empress Dowager but not kneeling!"

  Her voice was sharp and sour, only to see Mei's eyebrows frowning, thinking that Yezi would explain the reason. As a result, Yezi had an expression of watching a good show, and didn't intend to explain anything for her at all.

  Hmph! Does she think she's a soft persimmon that can be bullied at will? Never has been!

  Mei'er raised her small face, looking up at the woman in red clothes. It was actually her. The corner of her mouth slightly raised: "This big sister, even the Empress Dowager hasn't spoken, could it be that you think you have more right to speak here?"

  Ye Zi Qing, you cheap person, do you think not speaking will be okay? I'll force you to speak! Mei Er secretly cursed in her heart, this Pan Li who doesn't know life or death, relying on her father's power, actually dared to provoke her, this debt will be remembered.

  "Hey!" That loud shout from the older sister indeed made the red-clothed woman furious, her nostrils flaring and her eyebrows raised in anger. Wasn't this implying that she was old?

  "Baring her teeth and brandishing her claws, she scolded Mei'er: 'You actually dare to defy me? This is too much! At the very least, I still have the power to punish you!' After finishing speaking, she was about to hit Mei'er."

  "Lihui, stop!" Ye Ziqing finally had enough and timely called out to the woman in red.

  Li Fei, Pan Li, is the daughter of the current Grand Chancellor Pan Yuan. Pan Yuan was one of those who framed the Wu family together with Ye Zi Qing. At that time, Wu Chen Er was still alive, and Pan Li had already entered the palace, but at that time she was just a small imperial concubine.

  Since Pan Yuan was promoted to the position of Sui Chengxiang due to his relationship with Yezi, Pan Li also rose several ranks in a row, all the way to the position of Guifei, second only to Wu Chen'er's empress position, and she naturally became very arrogant.

  Ye Zi Qing looked at Pan Yuan's face and turned a blind eye, as long as they didn't take away Shi Li Tian, she wouldn't care how the women in the harem made trouble.

  Lihui saw Yezi's emotional outburst, so she naturally didn't dare to take action to teach Mei'er a lesson again. She could only glare at Mei'er fiercely, giving her a "remember this!" look, and sat back in her seat with a huff.

  Ye Ziqing picked up the imperial authority, cleared her throat and said: "You are all here today, now, what this palace says, you must all listen clearly. The Holy Girl of Western Xia is married to the Holy Emperor, although she has just entered the palace and her concubine position is not yet determined, naturally she is one level lower than you. However, her identity is special, and when she sees the Holy Emperor, she can also not kneel. Therefore, in the future, everyone must get along harmoniously and cannot cause disputes due to small matters, lest it distract the Holy Emperor. Do you all understand?"

  "We humbly obey Your Majesty's teachings!" The consorts beside her all bowed their heads in unison.

  Mei'er coldly observed from the side, taking in the expressions of all these women. These women were probably also resentful but didn't dare to speak out, merely afraid of Shang Li Tian's doting love for Ye Zi.

  "Come, Meier, sit down beside me!" Ye Ziqing pretended to be very enthusiastic and gestured for Meier to sit next to her.

  Sitting with the empress, what an honor is this? Mei'er immediately felt countless pairs of poisonous and piercing eyes shooting towards her, if eyes could kill, she would have been riddled with holes by now.

  Those pairs of eyes filled with jealousy couldn't help but want to tear apart Mei'er's flawless little face, yet Yezi pretended to be extremely fond of her.

  Not only did he not let Mei'er sit in the last position, but also had Mei'er sit beside him, chatting hand in hand, which made those imperial concubines jealous to madness.

  Not having received imperial favor has already made them feel resentful. Now, they can't even surpass a newcomer who just entered the palace, how can they not be angry?

  Mei'er knew that this was Yezi Qing's scheme, she intentionally made her the target of public criticism. However, she really wasn't afraid, the palace was too suffocating, and she didn't mind having some excitement.

  Of course, Yezi's purpose in doing so is to make those women dislike Mei'er, making Mei'er incompatible with them, so that she can better win over Mei'er and not give Mei'er the opportunity to join forces with those women.

  Spent an entire morning under the poisonous gaze of all those women, and Yezi said something, but Mei'er was too distracted to remember a single sentence.

  After leaving Feng Qi Palace, Mei'er took a deep breath. The outside air was still fresher. If it weren't for revenge, she really didn't want to stay in this broken place.

  "Halt!"

  Mei'er was about to leave with Xiaoxian when a soft shout came from behind.

  This voice, Mei'er doesn't need to turn her head to know who it is. Mother, can't you hold back your temper as soon as you come out? Fine! She doesn't mind playing along either.

  Turning back, Chong Li feigned a smile: "Sister Li Fei, what else can I help you with?"

  Li Fei saw Mei'er's smiling face and was furious, saying: "You are the Holy Girl of Western Xia, the Emperor and Empress have given you special privileges, but I won't give them to you. Today, you must kneel down and apologize to me for serving tea!"

  What a joke! She actually wants her to kneel down and apologize while serving tea. This woman must be living too comfortably!

  Mei'er's heart chilled, but the smile on her face grew thicker: "Consort Li, even if I don't kneel to the Emperor and Empress, you now want me to kneel down and admit my mistake. Are you implying that you are more noble than the Empress, or even the Emperor? Besides, I don't think I'm in the wrong!"

  " You!" Empress Li's face turned bright red with anger, pointing at Mei'er and scolding: "If you don't apologize to me today, I will not forgive you!"

  Mei'er let out a cold snort, looking like she couldn't be bothered with her, and turned to leave!

  "You wretched woman! How dare you stand before me!" The elegant and refined Consort Li, who had never been treated with such disrespect before, completely forgot her dignity and pounced on Mei'er like a shrew.

  A gust of wind came from behind her ear, and Mei'er naturally wouldn't be unaware. She slightly shifted her body to dodge the Empress's claw-like hand, which was as fierce as a tigress. The Empress, having used too much force, lost her balance and fell straight to the ground with a thud, landing on all fours!

  "Oh no, Princess Li, what's wrong with you? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?" Mei'er couldn't help but stifle a laugh. At this moment, she looked just like those wicked women who had done something bad and yet put on an extremely innocent expression.

  "You, you cheap woman..." The empress dowager slapped her chin, instantly swelling a patch of red, gritting her teeth and pointing at Mei'er's innocent face with anger and hatred.

  "Your Highness..." The palace maid beside her finally came back to her senses and hastily helped Empress Li up.

  The empress stood up, flung her hand back with a "hate" sound, pointing at the palace maid and scolding: "You dead girl, watching me fall down, so late to help me up, do you want to ask for a beating?"

  She can't get her way with Mei'er, so she has to take it out on the people around her, she's used to being unreasonable!

  "Empress, why get so angry? The road is uneven, it's inevitable to fall. It's fine as long as you get up!" Mei'er's lips and eyebrows were full of playful teasing.

  The empress rubbed her sore chin, glaring at Mei'er with hatred: "You cheap woman, dare to oppose me? You'll suffer for this!" After speaking, she turned her head and proudly walked past Mei'er.

  Mei'er hated it the most when people called her a cheap person, seeing Li Fei's back with a twisted hip, she frowned and cursed, if you like twisting so much, it would be better to twist your waist off.

  "Saint girl, here you are!" The little fairy on the side was indeed a worm in Mei's belly. A small stone had already arrived in her hand and was quietly handed over to Mei.

  Mei'er was taken aback, and she instinctively took it over. The two of them exchanged a knowing glance, and with a light flick of her wrist, the small stone hit Li Fei's thigh pit squarely.

  Hmph! Bullying others with an air of superiority, daring to provoke her a little, she will surely return double the favor. She is no longer the Wuzhen'er who used to turn a blind eye to things!

  Here is the second installment... To be continued tomorrow...
