Empress Xian narrowed her eyes. What is this "brother-supporting demon"?
Does it mean that Jiang is restless?
She didn't know her sister-in-law very well, but she had met her once at her brother's wedding banquet. She seemed like a kind person.
She has been managing the general's mansion and taking care of her father over the years.
As a woman herself, Concubine Xian knew how difficult her life was, so she would have people send some good cloth to the mansion to make clothes for Jiang.
According to Luo'er, she had to find an opportunity to summon Jiang, or go back to the mansion to see if Jiang was behaving well.
Jin Ting'an's expression changed the moment the box was opened.
He had just brought back these two boxes yesterday, and he knew very well what was inside.
"Brother, the emperor gave me some silks and satins yesterday. Please pick some and take them back to my sister-in-law!"
Afraid that his sister would notice something was wrong with him, Jin Ting'an pulled himself back to his senses. Without refusing, he picked one at random and got up to leave.
[Why does my uncle look a little off? Could it be that he knows what Jiang did?]
at the same time.
The news of Concubine Li being promoted to Concubine Xian naturally reached Concubine Rou's ears, and she was so angry that she smashed all the teacups on the table.
Fragments were scattered everywhere, and the palace maids and eunuchs serving around lowered their heads and said nothing.
"My lady, please don't fall."
Concubine Rou glared at her personal maid and said, "Shut up."
The maid pursed her lips and said, "You broke all the teacups. I'm afraid you'll have to use bowls to drink tea from now on. The Concubine Shu said that whoever breaks these things should buy them to replace them."
It's that bitch Shufei again. Why is she suggesting to promote Lifei's rank? Doesn't she think Lifei's rank and favor are not enough?
She was so angry.
He raised his hand to smash the only remaining teacup, but then he remembered that Concubine Shu had withheld two months' salary from him. He gritted his teeth and put it down.
Concubine Shu was capable of anything, and if the bowl really fell, she would have no choice but to drink tea from it.
Seeing that she didn't fall, the palace maid breathed a sigh of relief and whispered.
"Your Highness, didn't that lowly servant say she had a way to help you win favor? Why don't you listen to what she has to say? Otherwise, with Concubine Shu in charge of the harem and on good terms with the favored Concubine Xian, there will be no place for you to stand in the future."
Concubine Rou frowned, not knowing what Concubine De was doing. The harem had almost become Concubine Shu's world, yet she was still vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures without fear.
"Let's go and see that slave girl."
......
At the door of the bathroom.
Yang Xin dragged her painful body to wash the toilet, wondering why Concubine Rou didn't come to see her.
It stands to reason that there is no woman in the harem who doesn't want to compete for favor.
Could it be that I underestimated Concubine Rou. Is she actually quite smart?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a disgusted voice, "It stinks so much, where is that bitch?"
Yang Xin was delighted and stood up with difficulty, not caring how Concubine Rou called her.
"My Lady, are you looking for me?"
Concubine Rou held up a handkerchief to cover her nose. "I have something to talk to you about. Where is your room?"
The manager came out and saw that it was a noble person whom he could not afford to offend, so he did not stop him.
Yang Xin moved to the room with difficulty and closed the door.
"My Lady, have you figured it out?"
Concubine Rou glanced at her and sneered, "It seems that this beating has made her behave herself a lot. She looks much better now."
If it were before, Yang Xin would have definitely retorted, but now she just wanted to leave this damn place.
He clenched his fists tightly to suppress his anger.
"If your Majesty wants to talk about these irrelevant things, please go back!"
She knew that since Concubine Rou came to see her, she must have made a decision, so she dared to speak like this.
"You said you could help me gain favor, but to what extent can you gain favor?"
Yang Xin raised her eyebrows. "How much do you want to be favored? The position of queen? That's unrealistic."
Roupin knew that this was impossible and shook her head.
"The most favored one right now is Concubine Xian. If you can help me take the position of one of the four concubines, I will naturally help you achieve your wish."
Yang Xin looked puzzled when she heard this. Who is Empress Xian?
First, Concubine Li, who was originally a cannon fodder, survived and was even favored. Now there is another Concubine Xian. How did everything go wrong?
"Is there a problem?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Roupin frowned, "If you can't do this, you are no better than this."
"Who is Empress Xian?"
Remembering that she was isolated from the news here, Roupin patiently explained, "The previous Concubine Li."
Concubine Li, it’s Concubine Li again.
Could it be that Concubine Li traveled through time?
No, she had met Concubine Li that day, and it didn't seem like she had traveled through time.
Then it can only be the little princess, but she is only one month old, it is impossible for her to help Concubine Li win favor at such a young age.
Yang Xin shook off the ridiculous thoughts in his mind.
"If you have won the Holy Heart, why would you worry about not being able to surpass Concubine Xian?"
Hearing this, Concubine Rou curled her lips and said, "You are quite confident. What should I do?"
If she had not been beaten with a stick, Yang Xin would definitely have taught Roupin personally, but she now has difficulty walking, let alone teaching Roupin personally.
"Please have someone bring me paper and pen. I'll draw it and give it to you. You can learn from it."
At this point, she changed the subject and said, "But you have to find a way to get me out of here."
Concubine Rou was silent for a moment, staring at Yang Xin. "The Emperor obviously hates you, that's why he lets you stay here. If I get you out, wouldn't that be something the Emperor doesn't like? That won't do."
She wanted to be favored, but she wasn't stupid enough to be used by Yang Xin.
She was already unpopular because of what happened last time. If she continued to annoy the emperor, she would probably be banished to the cold palace.
Yang Xin rolled her eyes. "Of course you can't just plead for me directly. Instead, tell the emperor that you hate me and want to torture me. Will the emperor still suspect you then?"
Feeling that what she said made sense, Roupin nodded in agreement.
"If you can do what you promised me, I will agree to it. I'll have someone bring you paper and pen later."
The two of them thought they were doing it secretly, but in fact everything was under the control of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou has gone to find Yang Xin."
When Eunuch Cao received the news, he immediately went to the imperial study to report.
"Are you going to cause trouble?" The emperor was reviewing the memorials without looking up.
"It doesn't look like that. They entered the room and I couldn't hear what they were talking about."
The emperor sneered, "Since they are not looking for trouble, then the two of them are conspiring to get what they want."
Eunuch Cao seemed to have thought of something. "The Emperor means that Yang Xin wants Concubine Rou to take her out of the palace? But why would Concubine Rou help her?"
The emperor glanced at Eunuch Cao without explaining.
Since Yang Xin wanted to kill himself, he naturally would not leave the palace.
"Have someone keep an eye on these two, and report to me if there's anything unusual happening."
......
When Concubine Rou returned to her bedroom, she asked her personal maid to give pen and paper to Yang Xin.
"Don't let anyone see you. Be careful."
She wanted to see what that bitch could draw to win her favor. If she dared to lie to her, she would kill her.
"Don't worry, Madam. I will not let anyone find out. When you gain your favor, if you see that this lowly servant is not happy, just kill her and be done with it."
