Chapter 337 Instructions
In the tent, Alanruo leaned on the beauty couch and threw the red wild flowers picked for her by the palace maid on the ground.
The sapphire forehead ornament, a style of the Western Regions, and the blue palace dress with a large golden rose pattern, both appeared on her at the same time. However, it did not suppress her beauty and temperament, but made her look even more charming.
Seeing Yize holding a pile of feathers and looking back every few steps with a reluctant attitude, she pursed her red lips slightly, and did not hide the impatience between her bright brows.
"Get rid of it quickly, it's too ugly."
Having seen these feathers when they were so brilliant, Alanruo felt disgusted when compared to their current gloomy state.
"Hundreds of these beautiful birds would make beautiful feather skirts. It's a pity that after they die, their feathers can only be used as dusters."
There was a hint of regret in Zhao Hede's voice, which was as gentle as a feather gently brushing across one's heart, causing a slight itch.
"I only heard that a princess in history used bird feathers to weave a skirt like this, but I didn't know that the feathers had to be taken alive in order to keep the color and not fade."
Concubine Wan said with half regret and half guilt.
"Sisters, stop talking. I was impulsive." Alanruo closed her eyes and thought to herself.
“I don’t understand, and neither do the guards. No one warned us, and they killed all the birds. Fortunately, Your Majesty doesn’t think I’m greedy and nosy. Is this a blessing in disguise?
Your Majesty has ordered the princes to hunt birds and make skirts for me today. Who will dare to look down on me in the future?
Don't think I don't know. When those people saw that I was born in the Western Regions and saw my golden and blue eyes, they either looked down on me or regarded me as a monster who deceived the king.
If it were in the Western Regions, I would have my father hang these people up and dry them to dry, then dig out their dried hearts and send them to their parents and children to let them taste.
Your Majesty likes me. I will remember every one of those who look down on me and fabricate stories about me being a monster. I will not let them go."
Alanruo bit her lip and said bitterly.
"You don't need to say harsh words in front of us sisters. It's too early to tell whether it will be a blessing or a curse."
Zhao Feiyan looked at Alanruo who was feeling complacent and proud, and poured a basin of cold water on her.
"Sister, what she said is right. You are not a favorite concubine yet. It's too early to dream." Zhao Hede agreed.
"Indeed, if any prince gets into any trouble, it will be all your fault." Li Ji said lazily.
"That was His Majesty's order, not my suggestion." Alanruo frowned and retorted, "And, and..."
"And, and what? The prerequisite for being spoiled is to be the only one who loves you. Do you have that?
Your Majesty asked several princes to hunt birds for you. Whoever caught the most would be rewarded. You agreed happily without even a word of refusal or excuse.
Just pray now that nothing happens to them."
Zhao Hede couldn't help but laugh out loud in gloating. Her laughter sounded as pleasant as a bell, but it made Alanruo very upset.
"The oldest prince is only eleven years old. Why would they need to catch him themselves? He is just a figurehead. Aren't the guards below the guards doing the comparison?"
Alanruo sat up angrily.
"My Lord, do you have any instructions?"
The palace servant standing by saw Concubine Lan, who had her eyes closed to rest, suddenly sit up and said in panic.
"Get out."
Alanruo smashed the wine cup in front of her over. There was a dull thud, and the palace maid said nothing, with blood pouring from her forehead.
"Yes, my lord."
The palace servant then crawled away, not even daring to cover his injured forehead.
In the group of concubines, Concubine Wan seemed to be hesitant to speak, and the others had no reaction to this scene.
Li Ji said faintly, "Yes, whether your majesty says it or not, in fact, it is the guards who are catching birds for you. Your majesty said that now it is nominally the princes who hunt them. No matter which prince falls, they all come back unscathed.
Do you think the court officials and their mothers will not blame you?
Think beautifully.
His Majesty is not just taking the opportunity of taking the princes out hunting to teach you a lesson because he thinks you are troublesome. It's just a sentence. He is warning you, but you think he is saving face for you in front of everyone."
