Chapter 8 Newcomers are not smart

Wen Wanyu only let Bai Su stay in the room.

Then, he poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle, put it into his mouth without hesitation and swallowed it.

Bai Su handed her a glass of water.

"Young Master..."

Wen Wanyu swallowed it and handed the porcelain bottle to her: "Put it away and lock it up. Don't let anyone know except you and me."

It's not that I don't trust Qingdai and the others, but knowing them inside and out will reassure her. If she's discovered, it's a "capital crime."

Bai Su nodded.

Wen Wanyu lay on the bed, groaning with a bitter face: "Bai Su, come and massage my waist. My waist is so sore."

When helping the young lady bathe, Bai Su saw red spots all over her body and couldn't help but sigh that the emperor was really unkind to women.

I feel sad and curious at the same time.

Bai Su asked in a low voice, his voice smaller than a mosquito's: "My dear, does it hurt?"

"Hmm?" Wen Wanyu sat up and pulled her to share with interest.

"I wouldn't say it hurt. Maybe a little at first. But later on, I got used to it. ... Anyway, you can think of it as a mixture of comfort, pain, and fatigue."

Wen Wanyu couldn't help but recall the feeling just now, her face getting redder and redder, "Okay, okay. I'm going to sleep."

Bai Su's face was as red as a cooked shrimp.

The young lady described it so carefully... Shouldn't she be the one who is shy?

Wen Wanyu almost didn't get up the next day.

Sitting at the dressing table, yawning.

Bai Su felt distressed: "After paying respects, I will massage your waist and legs again."

Wen Wanyu's eyes were filled with tears: "Okay."

It turns out that the novels were not lies. Her legs and waist were really about to break.

Fengyi Palace

The Queen said the same thing as yesterday: "Didn't the Emperor exempt you from paying respects? Why doesn't Consort Wen rest a little longer?"

Lady Shen snorted softly.

Wen Wanyu smiled and said, "Serving the Emperor and paying respects to the Empress are my concubine's duties. I am not tired."

Compared with Lady Shen's answer yesterday, Wen Wanyu's answer was more sincere and less flattering.

The Queen nodded gently: "You all know the rules."

"Are you used to living in the palace?"

Lady Shen almost answered immediately: "I'm used to it."

"There is nothing missing in the palace. I feel like I'm at home."

Concubine Wan scoffed at the words and took a sip of tea before saying, "That's ridiculous, Lady Shen. You've already entered the palace, yet you're still talking about home all the time. Isn't this your home?"

Concubine Xu responded, "Since we entered the palace, this palace has been our home."

Concubine De smiled and came to her rescue: "Concubine Shen has just entered the palace and is not used to it yet. It is understandable."

Concubine Xu frowned, as if she was thinking about Lady Shen. "Sister Defei, you are wrong. Small things make big things happen, and details make perfection."

Concubine De nodded and said, "Sister Xu Fei is right." Then she changed the subject and said, "However, in my opinion, there is no need to treat a newcomer to the palace so harshly."

Wen Wanyu watched the show quietly. When he saw Concubine Shen looking at Concubine De with a moved look on her face, he shook his head imperceptibly.

Is it possible that Concubine De is speaking up for her because she has nothing else to do? Or is she really standing up for her?

Seeing her repeatedly being turned away, he simply wanted to take advantage of the situation and pull her in. Fortunately, only Lady Shen was so naive.

Concubine Xu glanced at Concubine Wan, and when she saw she didn't move, she continued, "Sister Defei, it seems that I'm wrong. I'm just reminding you with good intentions. After all, after entering the palace, we are all sisters."

The tone was light, but every word accused Concubine De of making a big deal out of nothing.

Concubine De smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Concubine De's goal has been achieved. All she needs to do is be generous and helpful in "her" eyes.

Concubine Wan, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly looked at Wen Wanyu and said with a smile, "Are you used to it, Lady Wen?"

Yes! Seeing herself in the play, Wen Wanyu retracted her gaze and said, "I'm used to it. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Concubine Wan said softly, "Just get used to it. If you need anything, you can tell me. I feel a sense of familiarity with you from the moment I saw you. You can also come to Jinxiu Palace often."

Anyone else would have been secretly happy, but unfortunately, Wen Wanyu understood it immediately. The change in Concubine Wan's expression when facing her and Concubine Shen was too obvious.

It's not like he felt like he had known her for a long time at first sight. He was trying to stir up trouble between her and Lady Shen.

Although she couldn't see it, Lady Shen must have been gritting her teeth at this moment.

Concubine Wan really misjudged the person. Wen Wanyu is a rebellious person and loves to cause trouble for others.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

"But I'm timid." Wen Wanyu raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Shen and Concubine Yang: "When we go to Jinxiu Palace as guests, can Sister Shen and Sister Yang come with us? We are all sisters who have just entered the palace."

Concubine Wan's face turned dark.

It’s fine if it’s just Concubine Yang, but they also called Concubine Shen. Isn’t this just to make things difficult for Concubine Wan?

Concubine Xu said in a rather gentle tone, "Concubine Wen is joking. Sister Wanfei feels a sense of familiarity with you from the moment she sees you. You should not confuse the importance of things."

Wen Wanyu lowered her eyelashes and pulled down her lips: "Yes, it is my fault that I cannot distinguish the important from the unimportant."

Concubine Shen interjected: "I thought Concubine Wan also liked Concubine Yang and me. Concubine Yang is Concubine Wan's sister. It seems that I was too confident."

Very good, Wen Wanyu himself is very satisfied.

Successfully threw the fireball back to Concubine Wan.

She wanted to see whether Concubine Wan would go against her heart or continue to play the role of a domineering and favored concubine.

Concubine Wan stood up and bowed to the Queen: "I am tired. I will take my leave now."

The Queen nodded: "Then let's all go."

"I, your concubine, will take my leave."

When going out, Wen Wanyu was walking in front and suddenly felt a pain in the back of his calf.

He groaned in pain, holding his calf.

When she turned around, she saw Lady Shen looking at her smugly. It was Lady Shen who deliberately kicked her little foot with the tip of her shoe.

He glanced at the shoes that Lady Shen was wearing, and his eyes darkened. Pointed shoes would hurt if kicked. Not to mention that it kicked directly into her meridians.

Lady Shen pretended to be concerned and said, "Lady Wen shouldn't be more careful when walking."

Wen Wanyu's eyes narrowed as she glanced at her. Her angry eyes still had a certain frightening quality. Lady Shen looked away, "Why are you staring at me like that, Lady Wen?"

Wen Wanyu smiled gently, the wind blowing through her hair, making her look softer.

"Sister Shen should wear less pointed shoes. They're not good for your feet."

Everyone understood immediately. They looked at Lady Shen with accusatory eyes.

Lady Shen forced a smile and said, "You're right. Thank you, Lady Wen, for your reminder." Then she led her people away.

Concubine Wan brushed the hair by her ear and asked, "Is Concubine Wen really stupid or is she just pretending?"

Concubine Xu said, "Whether she is truly stupid or pretending to be stupid, I think she is indeed not as good as Concubine Shen."

"Whatever. Judging from her appearance, she is not smart." Concubine Wan said lightly.

"No matter what, Lady Shen and Lady Wen are at loggerheads."

Concubine Xu curled her lips and smiled slightly: "Yes. I think this batch of newcomers are really not smart."

"I think so too." Concubine Wan sneered.
