"What do you know?"
"I know your difficulties. Your father has a mistress, your mother has passed away, and your aunt has left. You have to stand on your own feet. You have to pretend to be my enemy, and you have to be isolated and helpless, so that Xiao Fengyu and her daughter will mistakenly think that you are brave but not wise. Only then can you survive."
"Whether you believe it or not, I arranged for Zhong Baishi to enter the palace for you. Once father finds out that Xiao Fengyu is unfaithful to him, all the connections and leverage he prepared for Gu Qingrong will belong to you. Although your uncle is an official in the capital, you are a concubine's daughter after all. Even if you are selected, the most you can get is the position of a dresser. But if you can gain the connections that father has cultivated for many years, you will be a Shurong when you enter the palace."
"Is Shurong the one who enters the palace?"
Gu Yingxia repeated Gu Yinwei's words and then remained silent. These words did not move her.
Chuchu listened silently outside the door, then walked away quickly.
These two ladies have about 1,800 eyes combined, and their conversation is full of traps. Don't listen to them, or you'll get a headache if you listen too much.
"If it's really for me, you wouldn't have to go through all this trouble."
"These days, no one believes the truth."
"If you don't speak properly, I'll strangle you to death."
"To tell you the truth, I don't just want to train you to be a concubine. I'm waiting for you to become the first concubine."
Gu Yingxia poured herself a cup of tea. Gu Yinrong reached out to take it, and Gu Yingxia hit the back of her hand.
"You're dreaming! I'll go fight with others while you enjoy your leisure time. Is there such a good thing in the world?"
"Yingxia, you are the hope of our whole family."
"I think you are waiting for me to kill other concubines, and then you will kill me. I started as Shurong and fought my way to the main concubine. If you kill me, you will directly become a concubine."
"We are sisters, born from the same roots. Why should we kill each other? Why don't we join forces?"
"There is some truth in what you said. What you said before was all bullshit." Gu Yingxia fell into thought.
"With my looks and the strength of my maternal family, I can only become a concubine at best. If you help me... No, why would you help me?"
"I've already told you that you are the hope of our family. You are my most beloved third sister."
"Shut up and don't interrupt."
Gu Yingxia paced back and forth, thinking secretly.
She touched her chin, and her gait was exactly the same as when the late lady was alive. It was no wonder that she was raised together with the late lady since she was a child. Gu Qingrong could not catch up with her cleverness even if she flattered him.
"But judging by your style of destroying others' offspring with just one move, I think you're a little disdainful of the position of Imperial Concubine. What do you want? Imperial Concubine, Imperial Concubine, or Empress?"
"I want to try being the Queen Mother."
