"How dare you directly call my uncle by his name? You little bitch. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you're pregnant with the royal heir?" Concubine Ka was enraged. She grabbed Su Qingwen's clothes and shouted at the top of her voice.
"I ask you, isn't the monarch the most powerful person between heaven and earth? Now you shamelessly put a eunuch's power above the monarch's. Are you trying to stage a rebellion?" Su Qingwen suddenly pushed her away and retorted directly.
"Moreover, the baby in my belly is the emperor's first prince. He is of noble status. No matter how powerful your uncle Gao is, he's not the emperor. If he has the guts, he can overthrow the court and take the throne himself!" Su Qingwen folded her arms across her chest and sneered.
These words were extremely treasonous. Concubine Ka staggered back several steps. Her face was as black as coal. She covered her chest with her hand, and her voice trembled with anger. "Don't slander me here!"
"What's wrong? Am I wrong? You're really funny. Since you've already married into the palace, you keep talking about your uncle. Why don't you just live with your uncle?" Su Qingwen's mouth was extremely venomous. Seeing Concubine Ka's face contorted with anger, she hooked the corner of her mouth in satisfaction.
【System: Honey, stop right away. There's danger coming. It should be the Gao Quan you mentioned. Be careful.】
"Oh, I'm really not afraid of trouble." Su Qingwen clapped her hands. She even seemed a bit eager for the eunuch to come and have a good argument with her.
"Concubine Ka, what's going on? Why do you have to compete with such a low-class person for the emperor's favor?" A sinister voice came, sending an inexplicable chill down one's spine.
Su Qingwen subconsciously tightened her fingers. She raised her eyes and saw the great eunuch Gao Quan coming in a dark yellow robe. A tiger was embroidered on the brocade of his robe with gold and silver threads. From afar, it looked extremely imposing.
However, Su Qingwen wasn't impressed. What a ridiculous outfit! He looked like a hooligan, with no morals at all.
"Uncle..." Concubine Ka quickly ran over and said in a coquettish tone, "That Concubine Xian is bullying me just because she has the emperor's favor. My days in the palace are getting harder and harder. If this continues, I really won't be able to live."
"Oh, Concubine Ka, you mustn't say that. A concubine committing suicide is a great crime. If you die, your whole family will be executed. At that time, your dear uncle might die too." With that, Su Qingwen gave Gao Quan a provocative look.
She really looked down on such a person who defied his superiors.
Hearing this, Gao Quan widened his eyes and stared at her angrily. "You little bitch, what are you talking nonsense about?"
"Am I wrong?" Su Qingwen hooked the corner of her mouth and walked towards Gao Quan. "Aren't these just common sense? There are laws in the country and rules in the family. If someone wants to break the rules, shouldn't they pay the price? You've been in the palace for a long time. How can you not understand this simple truth?"
【System: Honey, you were so cool just now. I want to clap for you now.】
"You're such a flatterer." Su Qingwen blinked her eyes, looking helpless.
【System: To reward you for being so cool, I'm giving you a new task now. That is to enrage the eunuch Gao Quan and make him get out of here quickly.】
"What?" Hearing this new task, Su Qingwen couldn't help but shiver. Goodness, this Gao Quan was no easy opponent. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
But then she thought that as a eunuch, Gao Quan was really too arrogant. Today, she would take this opportunity to teach him a good lesson. It would be a good deed for the people.
"Okay, just watch me." Su Qingwen hooked her lips into a smile and walked around Gao Quan.
"Eunuch Gao, this robe of yours is really beautiful. From afar, the yellow fabric seems to be shining." Suddenly, Su Qingwen changed the subject and actually praised the man in front of her.
"What did you say?" Gao Quan was stunned. He looked at Su Qingwen in shock, not quite understanding what she meant.
"I mean, this robe is even more imposing than the emperor's dragon robe!" Su Qingwen clapped her hands exaggeratedly. A cold light flashed in her eyes. "Eunuch Gao, you seem to have become more imposing too."
【System: Honey, your tone seems to be off. I told you to insult him, not praise him.】
"Stupid. Don't you know there's a phrase called 'praise in order to criticize later'? In other words, it's called 'killing with praise'. The higher I praise him now, the harder he'll fall. Just wait and see." Su Qingwen showed a confident smile.
【System: Sounds complicated but seems to make sense.】
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that although you're not good-looking, you have good taste. To tell you the truth, this robe is made of the finest Shu brocade. There isn't much of it in the whole palace. And this embroidery is Su embroidery. It took a month to finish." Everyone likes to hear such hypocritical words, and Gao Quan was no exception.
He let out a proud laugh and said.
"Yes, look. This little tabby cat is embroidered so vividly. I've never seen such a cute cat before." Su Qingwen clapped her hands. Her eyes were full of sarcasm.
"What are you talking about? Are you blind? This is clearly a tiger!" Gao Quan was so angry that his face turned green. He took a sudden step back and said in a low voice.
"Hmm?" Su Qingwen blinked her eyes and got closer. "No, this is clearly a tabby cat. I said, Eunuch Gao, haven't you heard the saying 'the best cat embroidery in Su and the best tiger embroidery in Xiang'? It means that in Su embroidery, cats are embroidered the best, while in Xiang embroidery, tigers are embroidered the best."
As soon as these words were said, Gao Quan's eyes widened even more. He bit his lips tightly and pointed at Su Qingwen. "You're talking nonsense!"
"How am I talking nonsense? Many people know this. And you just said yourself that this embroidery is Su embroidery." With that, Su Qingwen pointed at his robe. "Look quickly. The color of this big tabby cat is not pure at all. The stripes on it are all crooked. It's clearly a tabby cat, not a tiger."
"No, it's not! Can't you see there's a character 'Wang' on its head?" Someone said pale-faced, making a last-ditch struggle.
"So what?" Su Qingwen had already expected him to say this. "If I write a character 'Wang' on my head, will I be a tiger too? Moreover, this doesn't look like the character 'Wang'. Look, there's a dot beside it. It looks like the character 'Yu' to me. Hahaha, I didn't expect this tabby cat to be so cute."
At that moment, Gao Quan's face turned completely ashen!
