217 The Art of Controlling Your Husband
The concubines looked at each other, but Concubine Yuan chased after them like a lackey, “Young Madam, what are you going to teach us?”
“I’m going to teach you the art of controlling your husband.” Jiang Xi said. “It’s time for Zhao Hongwei to suffer. Doesn’t he like to have a multiple wives and beautiful women? Then let’s make all the beautiful women have strong bodies and torture him!”
Concubine Yuan’s eyes widened. All the concubines in the manor were experienced. In order to win Zhao Hongwei’s favor and get Zhao Hongwei into their rooms, they would do anything. Jiang Xi, a young girl who had just gotten married, said that she would teach them how to control their husband?
Zhao Yingying’s ears turned red as she listened from the side. Why did it feel like her sister-in-law was starting to transform the concubines?
“Go and surround the Zhao family. Tell the others that the Zhao family will not receive any visitors for three months. If there are any letters, send them to me.” Jiang Xi ordered. It would only take 21 days to change a person’s habit, but she would use three months to change the Zhao residence greatly.
In the evening, before Jiang Xi’s order was officially carried out, Zhao Panpan returned to the Zhao residence in the palace’s palanquin. The maidservant, Qing Ping, who was guarding Zhao Panpan’s side, had a proud demeanor. she supported Zhao Panpan, whose stomach was slightly bulging, and walked up to knock on the door arrogantly.
Zhao Panpan did not tell anyone about her return. She was the emperor’s favorite. If there was not something particularly important, it was almost impossible for them to leave the palace. However, Zhao Panpan had come out easily.
“Why didn’t you tell us in advance that you’re back, Pure Consort? we could’ve gone out to welcome you…” Xiao Meili’s maidservant quickly bowed to Zhao Panpan.
Zhao Panpan did not even move.
“Do you mean that our Pure Consort has to inform us before returning home? You can continue kneeling, don’t get up.” Frowning, Qing Ping supported Zhao Panpan. The people in the residence were watching from afar, but they did not dare to disturb her. They felt that Zhao Panpan was different from before. Only Zhao Yingying knew that Zhao Panpan had not changed. This was her true self.
In her previous life, after Zhao Panpan married the crown prince, she seemed to have broken off relations with Xiao Meili. Their relationship was very stiff. At that time, Zhao Panpan did not care about the Zhao family. If it could be said that her father, Zhao Hongwei, owed everyone in the Zhao family, he really did not owe Zhao Panpan anything. Zhao Panpan was beautiful and knew how to talk. She often coaxed her father to smile and he would remember to bring Zhao Panpan a share of good food.
Due to of the empress’ bite, Xiao Meili’s face had a scar. However, she was someone who loved to look pretty. Now, whenever she saw a beautiful girl, she would feel resentment. The faces of the few servant girls who served her in front of her were all swollen. When Zhao Panpan entered the room, she saw that all the maids in the room did not even dare to breathe. Their faces were also red and swollen. She frowned and waved her hand to dismiss them.
“That’s why father doesn’t want to enter your courtyard. Father loves women and understands them. If you always punish the servant girls like this, it will only make father dislike you more and more. You weren’t like this when you were in Happy Town.” Zhao Panpan’s stomach was not big, but she still sat down with a pregnant look on her face.
Xiao Meili’s gaze swept across Zhao Panpan’s face, “If I didn’t call you back, you probably wouldn’t even ask about the matter of me being bullied by the empress. I’ve raised you for more than ten years, and this is how you repay me?” Xiao Meili was a little unhappy. When the empress had disfigured her, Zhao Panpan had not even asked about it.
The corners of Zhao Panpan’s mouth curled up. Her face was becoming more and more beautiful. Now that she had become a consort, she was like a blooming flower that was breathtaking.
“If I didn’t feel sorry for mother, I wouldn’t have asked His Majesty for the facial cream for you.” Zhao Panpan took out a box of ointment, opened it, and gently rubbed it on Xiao Meili’s face. After seeing the clear teeth marks on her face, she frowned slightly. The empress really hated them to the core.
Xiao Meili seemed to be relieved. She pulled Zhao Panpan over and said, “I was very worried about you in the palace, but my leg was broken by a tree branch and I couldn’t go see you. Now that I see that you’re living well, I’m relieved. Mother asked you to marry the emperor for your own good. If you serve the emperor well, you’ll definitely benefit when the crown prince ascends to the throne.”
