Chapter 76 Push Her

Yuxing was quietly fiddling with the kingfisher-inlaid gold hairpin in her hand, wondering what kind of bun she should wear to look best. When she heard this, she was surprised, "This—your Excellency!"

“Kneel down!”

"My Lord, what have I done wrong to deserve such treatment from you?"

Yuxing knelt down, but she felt aggrieved and unwilling to accept the situation.

Xu Lanshan sneered, "Why? Are you feeling wronged? If you had been guarding Yulinglong Pavilion properly last night, that wouldn't have happened. You were lazy and nearly harmed me, and you still feel wronged?"

Yu Xing's face turned pale. "This servant, this servant didn't mean it... This servant didn't know it would be like this! Please forgive me, my lord!"

Speaking of this Yuchan, he couldn't help but get annoyed. "How dare you say that? I was really lucky yesterday! If you had been more careful, this wouldn't have happened!"

Yuxing begged for mercy repeatedly, feeling not only wronged but also angry and resentful.

What noble lady? Wasn't she also a palace maid? Yu Chan is even more ridiculous. Has she finally found her own fault? Look at her face as she exploits this issue!

Why didn't she take me with her to such a good thing as watching the opera yesterday, but took Yuchan with her instead? I have been trying my best to please her in the past few days. She used to take me with her when she went out, but she ordered me to stay behind and took Yuchan with her last night. How could she not feel wronged?

She had only been away for a moment, so how could she have known something like this would happen in the palace? Besides, whoever did it had to be incredibly skilled? Even if she hadn't left, it didn't mean they wouldn't have succeeded.

It was obviously the other party who was too cunning, how could she be blamed...

Even if it was Yuchan who stayed yesterday, could Yuchan keep it under control?

However, the nobleman wanted to punish himself for this! Yu Chan also took the opportunity to add insult to injury!

Yuchan will definitely take this opportunity to slander me, and the nobleman will definitely get tired of me. Then, what future do I have here?

Xu Lanshan looked at Yuxing with disgust and sneered, "What I hate most is servants who are incompetent and careless. With someone like you, how can I trust you and use you in the future? How can I dare to entrust you with important matters? What a joke!"

Yu Xing's face turned pale. "My Lord, I will never dare to do that again! Please give me one more chance! I will do my job well. Please forgive me!"

Xu Lanshan sneered: "It's hard to change one's nature. How can I trust you? Go kneel down beside me for an hour!"

"My dear..."

"Sister Yuxing, didn't you hear the nobleman's order? In front of the master, there is no room for bargaining between you and me."

Yuxing was filled with hatred and dared not say a word. She gritted her teeth and left.

This time, it was all over. Why was Xu Lanshan pretending? No matter how much she pretended, she was still just from a humble background...

This wasn't the end yet. Xu Lanshan instructed Yuchan again, "Keep an eye on her. Make her kneel for an hour every day for three days."

Yu Chan smiled and replied, "Yes, Master. After all, Master is kind-hearted and considerate of his servants. If it were someone else, who would keep her here? They would have kicked her out long ago! But Master has to punish her by kneeling three times."

Xu Lanshan smiled and walked slowly into the east living hall.

Yu Xing couldn't help but glance up quickly, a fierce look flashing across her eyes. At this moment, she firmly made up her mind without hesitation.

Xu Lanshan can be a superior person and the emperor's favorite concubine, and her Yuxing is not bad either, so why can't she?

Xu Lanshan had long noticed that Yu Xing was wavering in her thoughts. After giving her a heavy push, she didn't care about anything else except asking Yu Chan to secretly keep an eye on her from time to time to prevent her from causing any trouble.

The Emperor is currently showing interest in me, so wouldn't it be a good idea to take advantage of this period to gain more favor? My food, clothing, shelter, and status in the palace will all rise dramatically, won't it?

Xu Lanshan went into the bedroom and lay down to rest. After a while, the system issued another task with a "ding!" sound: "You have a new task, please accept it!"

Xu Lanshan subconsciously felt that "there's work to do again!", and she became alert and hurried to check.

She knew this guy wouldn't let her rest for long.

This time her mission was to outshine everyone else and come out on top at the Emperor's birthday celebration in a month and a half.

Forced to accept this task, Xu Lanshan simply wanted to pull out this damn palace fighting system and beat it to death!

Outshining others? Is this her personality, her style?

She tried so hard that she almost went insane. It was only then that she managed to suppress her beauty in the eyes of the concubines, while still looking radiant in front of the emperor!

As a result, now she has to outshine everyone!

In other words, her beauty can no longer be hidden.

In fact, she doesn't want to hide her beauty in secret or travel at night in gorgeous clothes. She feels more uncomfortable than anyone else because she has to hide her beauty.

She also wants to be radiant, radiant, and stunning everyone!

But if doing so would be fatal, then of course your life is more important.

Isn't this palace fighting system a system that hinders progress? What's it thinking?

Those people already hate me enough now, and by then, I wonder how much more hatred I'll have to go up...

Do you know that a tall tree attracts the wind?

Xu Lanshan grabbed the system and lashed out at its crazy output. The poor little system probably knew it was a bit of a scam, but it had no control over the issuance of tasks. It was just a tool, so it had no choice but to lie down and take the scolding, and then had to comfort the host pitifully...

If you want to talk about pity, who is as pitiful as it?

Xu Lanshan had long promised the emperor that she would dance a better dance for him on his birthday than the one she performed at Concubine Lian's birthday banquet. After complaining a lot, Xu Lanshan began to prepare.

Emperor Yuan Yong was not keen on holding the Wanshou Festival celebration.

Generally speaking, the Longevity Festival is only celebrated in a grand manner when one is very old, or reaches an integer age, or when there is some other special significance.

Emperor Yuan Yong is 27 years old this year, so such a birthday festival will naturally not be held again, not to mention that when he was 30 years old, there was a festival called "Standing on one's own feet at the age of 30", which was a grand celebration. Now everything is kept simple.

Usually everything was kept simple, which meant offering sacrifices to ancestors in the Taimiao early in the morning, burning incense in the Buddhist temple, paying respects to the empress dowager, accepting congratulations from the ministers, and holding a banquet.

In the afternoon, he received congratulations from the Queen and others in the harem and held a palace banquet.

Usually, palace banquets invite some royal relatives and the number of people will not be too large.

As for the gifts from all over the country, they have now begun to be sent to the palace in the capital.

Emperor Yuan Yong would just glance at the gift list, and occasionally look at one or two items on a whim. He left all the trivial matters to the eunuchs and maids under him to handle and put into his private treasury.

During palace banquets, there will inevitably be various singing and dancing performances, and concubines will also join in the fun by performing their talents to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

Since it was a palace banquet and was on the emperor's birthday, there was nothing wrong with it.
