Detective Ghost Empress

366 A new rival ——” She is the third Concubine, Concubine Xin, your majesty.” Nanny Gong repeated the words that were announced by the guards causing Liu Hui Ying’s brows to twitch.

With her lips curled in a smile that did not reach her eyes, Liu Hui Ying turned to look at Nanny Gong and remarked sarcastically hoping that the sarcasm would get past the elderly woman this time, ” I funnily figured that out myself, maybe if you would be kind enough to give me a bit more information, it would be nice, Nanny Gong.”

Who knew whether or not Nanny Gong understood her sarcasm or not but she still blinked her eyes and then said with a soft voice, ” Concubine Xin is the new Concubine who was added to the harem by her father, Minister Xin after the death of Concubine Liu. It was said that if a concubine’s spot was left empty and their numbers became uneven then it will be unlucky which is why the ministers forced his majesty to take another Concubine.”

Nanny Gong paused and then added, ” She is yet to be legally placed under the name of the imperial family but his majesty spent a night with her and even promoted Concubine Xin since the latter cooked a dish with fish that was said to be very delicious.”

” Oh,” was all Liu Hui Ying said, she raised a brow and then smiled widely as she tapped on the armrest of the chair on which she was sitting and then said with a smile, ” So his majesty likes fish eh?”

Liu Hui Ying did not say anything more which made everyone pause in their work. They did not know whether the Queen was angry or not since she did not say anything, Nanny Gong leaned her waist such that she was looking at Liu Hui Ying’s face directly.

When Liu Hui Ying saw Nanny Gong look her in the eyes with an awkward posture she turned her head to look at Nanny Gong and asked with a waspish voice, ” What?”

Nanny Gong shook her head and then straightened up at once, her gaze met with the worried Xiao Ai who raised her eyebrows asking the elderly woman what was going on but the latter shook her head and asked her to stay put.

Liu Hui Ying on the other continued to smile as she leaned back in her chair.

.....

‘ So that guy likes to eat fish so much? I hope that man will choke on a fish bone and die!’ Liu Hui Ying cursed Zhai Tianyu in her head while Witch Mao who was done drinking the water in the vat that was sitting behind in the tent, panted like a dog and then rushed to Liu Hui Ying’s side as she said, ” What is up with you? Were you the one who spiked up the juice with chilli powder——”

Witch Mao was still speaking but when Liu Hui Ying turned to look at the latter with an expression on her face that scared the wits out of Witch Mao, the latter straightened up and then said, ” You take your time, little girl.”

Liu Hui Ying turned to look at the flap of the tent where the Concubine Xin was standing and narrowed her eyes with an unfriendly gaze in them causing Nanny Gong to swallow a mouthful of saliva and ask, ” Should I let Concubine Xin come inside, your majesty?”

” And why won’t you let our dear Concubine come inside? Nanny?” Liu Hui Ying asked with a sweet smile which made Nanny Gong light up a candle for Zhai Tianyu in her heart. “She is the precious concubine of His esteemed majesty, did you not say that he promoted her in just one night?”

She then lowered her voice and hissed sharply, ” I am asking for an upgrade of the courtyard but has the man listened to me? No! Fcking bastard.”

Nanny Gong smiled even though her head was going to burst with pain as she walked to the flap of the tent where she invited the concubine who was standing outside the tent.

” Please come inside, Concubine Xin, her majesty invites you into her tent,” Nanny Gong said to Concubine Xin who was standing outside and stepped aside as the maids of Concubine Xin pushed the flaps of the tent aside so that their mistress could walk inside the tent without any trouble at all.

Liu Hui Ying raised her head and looked at Concubine Xin who looked like one of those seductive beauties who can easily make some big boss cheat on his wife. Her gaze dipped as it fell on the bosom of the latter and Liu Hui Ying felt an arrow piercing her heart as she realised that the woman was the proud bearer of the double D’s that she once had!

She dipped her gaze and looked at the almost flat bosom of her and pursed her lips tightly. So he likes them big, huh?

‘ What a pervert.’ Liu Hui Ying thought in her head as another label was stuck to Zhai Tianyu who had no idea what was going on while Concubine Xin who just entered the tent bent her waist and in a sweet voice greeted Liu Hui Ying, ” This Concubine, greets her majesty.”

” You may rise,” Liu Hui Ying said to Concubine Xin who smiled as she straightened up maybe it was because she was wearing a loose sleeves robe but that bosom of hers was moving a bit too much causing Liu Hui Ying’s eyes to twitch.

What was this? Was this woman challenging her because she was lacking feminine attributes?

Witch Mao also looked at the young woman who came inside the tent and then whistled sharply, ” You have got some tough contender there, compared to that mini bumps of yours, I am surely picking those melons, if I was a man.”

Liu Hui Ying whose heart was aimed at again gritted her teeth and then turned to look at Witch Mao before she sneered, ” At least I look like a woman unlike you who looks like a man trapped in a woman’s body.”
