Not many concubines looked up to Zhu Xianyue.

Seeing that she blatantly dealt with Lamei and Dongju, he wanted to add fuel to the fire.

If he himself does not receive the emperor's favor, he cannot bear to see others receive it.

The women trapped in the harem can only fight each other.

But fights often result in deaths.

Queen He Xuanrong was happy to see this happen, but on the surface, she pretended to be magnanimous.

"It's the fault of Lamei and Dongju, not Concubine Li."

"Alas, it's just that our emperor has always liked gentle and docile women. If he knew about this, I'm afraid he would have a grudge against Concubine Li."

He Xuanrong deliberately reminded others because she wanted others to "talk too much" in front of Xiao Jingyi and mention what Zhu Xianyue had done.

She is the Empress of the Central Palace, so she naturally cannot do such a thing as kicking someone when he is down.

Using the other concubines as knives was her usual tactic.

"Who cares about her? The Emperor would rather stay with me all night than consummate the marriage with her. This shows that in the Emperor's mind, I am the most important, and no one can surpass me!"

The person who spoke was Concubine Gao Zemei.

It was she who stopped the original owner from sleeping with him for the first time.

Afterwards, Xiao Jingyi never touched the original owner again.

Her words not only slandered Zhu Xianyue, but also offended the Queen.

The Empress is right here, but Gao Zemei brazenly says that she is the most important person in the Emperor's mind. Doesn't this mean she doesn't take He Xuanrong seriously?

Look, He Xuanrong's nails are almost piercing her flesh.

The smile on her face became uglier than crying.

Gao Zhemei, who didn't take He Xuanrong seriously, even sarcastically said, "Ah, Empress, why do you look so unhappy? Could it be... because you haven't seen the Emperor for a long time and lack the protection of his yang energy?"

"It's all my fault for not reminding the Emperor to come to the Empress's palace more often."

Gao Zhemei accounted for more than half of the emperor's sleepovers in the harem, and the emperor rarely visited He Xuanrong except on the first and fifteenth days of each month and festivals when he had to come to Kunning Palace.

Gao Zemei is not afraid of He Xuanrong.

There was nothing she was afraid of in the harem.

"My sister has served the emperor in bed the most times, so naturally she has the most say around him." He Xuanrong gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words.

"Queen, don't be discouraged. You are five years older than me and one year older than the Emperor. Your body is naturally not as good as that of a young woman. It is only natural that you cannot serve the Emperor well."

"Before I entered the palace, I once wandered among the common people and saw middle-aged men who all looked down on their wives, saying that the wrinkles on their faces made them feel uncomfortable."

Gao Zemei continued to taunt.

The smile on He Xuanrong's face could no longer be maintained.

The other concubines pinched their thighs tightly, fearing that they would laugh out loud.

The imperial concubine is in charge of the queen.

"I have a headache, please leave first."

He Xuanrong didn't dare to challenge Gao Zemei, so she could only find a reason to get rid of her quickly.

Gao Zemei snorted coldly, made a false gesture, and left with her hips twisted.

The other concubines also quickly withdrew.

After everyone had left, He Xuanrong was so angry that she smashed several porcelain bowls - she didn't dare to smash other celadon pieces for fear that someone would notice.

"Gao Zhemei, you bitch! You're only relying on your capable brother! Without your brother, you'd be nothing! Do you think the Emperor would even glance at you?"

"Your Highness, don't be angry. No matter how powerful the Imperial Concubine is, she is still only the Imperial Concubine. She is a concubine and is inferior to you."
