After some polite exchanges, An Lirong sat down in front of the guzheng, raised her hands, and the sound of the guzheng began to sound.
?An Lirong's hands flew, and a cheerful melody flowed out from her hands.
"Good, Sister An is amazing." After the song, Lin Xiaoxiang immediately applauded. However, she didn't think so in her heart. She suddenly felt that An Lirong was a strong competitor to her.
Her guzheng playing is unparalleled, but I am far inferior to her. If the emperor finds out, will I be able to keep my position?
So, although Lin Xiaoxiang seemed to appreciate An Lirong's guzheng very much on the surface, in fact, she began to be wary of An Lirong in her heart. After all, not every woman was like Fu Liu who could give her help.
People like An Lirong made Lin Xiaoxiang feel that she was a powerful opponent. There were more enemies than friends in the harem.
On the other side, Lin Xiangru, knowing Lin Xiaoxiang's location, rushed over in a hurry. She knew that her sister could never be the woman that the emperor would like.
Lin Xiangru knew his sister's strengths and weaknesses, and only after he calmed himself down from Su Mengyan could he deal with Lin Xiaoxiang.
The news of Lin Xiangru's arrival quickly reached the ears of the three people. Lin Xiaoxiang didn't take it seriously: "She's coming, so why did she tell us? Does she want me to welcome her?"
An Lirong wanted to persuade her, but when she looked at Fu Liu, she suddenly remembered something and fell silent. Yes, this was the result that the Queen wanted, and she couldn't disrupt it.
Looking at the figure in the distance, which was gradually approaching, Fu Liu said, "After all, he is a noble man. Is it really okay for us not to go out?"
Lin Xiaoxiang didn't notice the newcomer at all. She was still sitting in her original place, smugly saying, "What does it matter? We are all the emperor's women. Why should we distinguish between high and low?"
"Oh, so this is what Concubine Lin thinks?" Lin Xiangru's voice came from behind Lin Xiaoxiang. The other two were startled and hurriedly saluted Lin Xiangru.
Looking at the two people who saluted her, Lin Xiangru felt unhappy. In her opinion, since these two people were on good terms with Lin Xiaoxiang, they were naturally her enemies.
However, she remembered what the Queen Mother said to her before she came. The Queen Mother said that she only needed to target Lin Xiaoxiang and not make things difficult for other people. There was no conflict between her and other people. If she made things difficult for others, she would inevitably make more enemies for herself, which would do her more harm than good.
She felt that what the Queen said made sense. Her primary target was Lin Xiaoxiang. As for the others, what was wrong with just letting him go?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiangru smiled and asked the two people to get up, but he still deliberately mocked Lin Xiaoxiang.
"Some people are not as knowledgeable and sensible as my two younger sisters. I remember when I was at home, my mother often taught me that after getting married, I should be well-educated and well-mannered, and not rely on my favor to become spoiled and become a laughing stock."
She said this on purpose for Lin Xiaoxiang to hear, and her voice was extremely loud. How could Lin Xiaoxiang tolerate this?
She already resented Lin Xiangru for snatching her chance to enter the palace, and now he even dared to mock her for being unruly.
"My sister is right. Some people really don't know the etiquette. They don't even know how to greet me when they see me." Lin Xiaoxiang stood up and looked at Lin Xiangru without blinking, with a very arrogant attitude.
An Lirong and Fu Liu looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes. Then, they lowered their heads again, not wanting to get involved in the war between the two sisters of the Lin family.
As expected, after hearing Lin Xiaoxiang's words, Lin Xiangru snorted coldly: "How dare you! Who are you calling sister? I entered the palace first, so logically, you should call me sister. Besides, I am a noble lady, and you are just a concubine, so you should call me sister. If you want me to call you sister, go back to your Prime Minister's Mansion."
What? Lin Xiangru's words made Lin Xiaoxiang angry, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was the elder sister, but in this harem, it was Lin Xiangru who entered the palace first.
Could she only allow herself to be humiliated like this? Lin Xiaoxiang felt a wave of resentment. She had been framed and barred from entering the palace, and now she had used every possible means, even risking her own reputation, to gain entry. Now, she was being outshined by Lin Xiangru.
How could Lin Xiaoxiang be convinced by this? He was just a noble man. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiang pulled Fu Liu beside him.
This meant that she wanted Fu Liu to speak for her. However, Fu Liu gave her a look, which meant to tell her that this was their family matter after all, and if she forced her way in, it would only bring about bad consequences.
In this case, Lin Xiaoxiang thought, if he could get Lin Xiangru to take the initiative to provoke Fu Liu, then everything would go smoothly as he wished, and Fu Liu would naturally not stay out of it.
"Hehe, my sister is becoming more and more sharp-tongued. So what if she is the elder sister or the younger sister? As long as we get the emperor's favor, it is not certain who will be the elder sister in the future!" Lin Xiaoxiang deliberately picked up the fact that Lin Xiangru did not receive favor.
Her original intention was to use this incident to make Lin Xiangru angry, and Fu Liu had been in great favor recently, so her anger would naturally affect Fu Liu.
It must be said that Lin Xiangru understood Lin Xiaoxiang, and Lin Xiaoxiang also understood Lin Xiangru very well. So the knives of the two people always stabbed each other in the most painful place.
After hearing what Lin Xiaoxiang said, Lin Xiangru clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh. She was trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart. She knew that no matter what happened today, she must not vent her anger on Fu Liu. Her target was only Lin Xiaoxiang.
Seeing that Lin Xiangru couldn't help but lose his temper several times, Fu Liu had to say a few words at this time.
"Lady Lin, you are sisters after all, and now you are both in the palace. This is fate. Why do you have to do this?" Fu Liu held Lin Xiaoxiang's small hand, as if to comfort her.
Feeling Fu Liu's little gesture, Lin Xiaoxiang felt a warmth in her heart. As expected, Fu Liu was still very kind to her and did not stay out of it.
Lin Xiangru's purpose today was to give Lin Xiaoxiang a warning. Now that his goal has been achieved, and thinking about the words of the Queen, he naturally has to give Fu Liu some face.
"Hmph, who is her sister? Today, for your sake, I won't bother with her." Lin Xiangru said this and turned away.
Lin Xiangru's departure invisibly made Fu Liu's image more lofty in Lin Xiaoxiang's mind.
Lin Xiaoxiang now admires Fu Liu very much. She feels that if she is favored, she can do whatever she wants in the palace. Look at her younger sister, she was driven away by Fu Liu with just one word.
