Chapter 1133: Unnoticeable Threat
This trick of "saving the country by taking a roundabout way" is simply brilliant!
The plan was implemented very smoothly.
After those concubines received the real gold and silver, they were all very grateful to Jiang Xue and wanted to worship her.
Of course, Jiang Xue didn't give them money for nothing. In return, she needed them to provide information about the harem.
Soon, all kinds of gossip, secrets, and rumors flew into her hands like snowflakes.
Looking at the information in her hand, Jiang Xue's smile deepened.
Does the Queen like to eat pickles?
The imperial concubine's personal maid has a crush on Leo, the man in the imperial kitchen?
Wow, these seemingly insignificant pieces of gossip can play a big role at critical moments!
She seemed to see the dawn of victory just ahead, and she felt so happy as if she had eaten Xuanmai, and she couldn't stop at all!
Everything is ready. Jiang Xue feels like she has been given a cheat code and her fighting power is bursting!
She even began to look forward to the arrival of the harem storm, rubbing her hands, ready to do something big!
At this moment, a maid ran in hurriedly, her face pale and her voice trembling: "Your Highness...something bad has happened! The Queen...the Queen..."
The maid's words came to an abrupt end, but Jiang Xue's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
Jiang Xue's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Could it be that her secret was exposed?
That's impossible! These concubines have great acting skills and strong professional abilities. They won't be exposed so quickly!
Jiang Xue took a deep breath and kept telling herself to stay calm and wait and see how things develop. At worst, she could just deal with it as it came.
She pretended to be calm and slowly stepped into the harem. As soon as she entered the palace, Jiang Xue was stunned by the beautiful scenery before her.
The palace is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, and there are winding corridors with different views at every step.
However, amidst this beautiful scenery, there is a sense of oppression.
The high palace walls, like invisible shackles, trap people here firmly.
Jiang Xue felt like a little white rabbit that had strayed into a wolf's den, and was extremely panicked.
Before Jiang Xue could finish her sigh, she was "invited" to the Queen's bedroom by the nanny beside the Queen.
Jiang Xue thought: This queen is so well-informed. She had just stepped into the palace when she was "invited" here. This speed is even faster than takeout!
When I entered the bedroom, I saw the Queen sitting upright, wearing a Nine Phoenix Rising Sun Crown and a bright yellow phoenix robe, with an attitude of "I am the Queen".
She glanced at Jiang Xue sideways, her eyes were sharp, and she wanted to scan Jiang Xue from inside to outside.
The palace maids and eunuchs around all lowered their heads and dared not make a sound. The atmosphere in the whole palace was depressing like the calm before the storm.
Jiang Xue felt like she was thrown into a pressure cooker, with sweat running down her spine.
She pretended to be calm, took a step forward, and was about to salute, but she heard the head maid beside the queen shouting in a shrill voice: "How dare you! Kneel down before the queen!"
A thousand horses were galloping through Jiang Xue's heart. There were too many rules in this palace!
Just as she was about to make a move, she heard a deep and majestic voice: "Wait!"
The majestic voice was like thunderclap out of nowhere, shaking the entire bedroom three times.
Jiang Xue looked up and saw a middle-aged eunuch in a purple dragon robe walking slowly towards her.
He has a fair face and no beard, with sharp eyes, and looks like a ruthless guy.
"Your Highness Princess is new here, so it's understandable that she doesn't know some of the rules, isn't that right, Queen?"
The eunuch said with a smile, but his tone contained a barely perceptible threat.
The queen's face froze, but she still managed a smile: "Eunuch Li is right. I was also anxious at the moment and wanted the princess to get familiar with the palace rules as soon as possible."
Jiang Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Eunuch Li was here to help her out.
She quickly took advantage of the situation and pretended to be grateful: "Thank you, Queen, for your understanding, and thank you, Eunuch Li."
The queen became even more displeased when she saw this.
She snorted coldly and began to make things difficult for Jiang Xue even more. One moment she complained that her posture of saluting was not standard enough, and the next moment she said that her voice was too soft. She was simply nitpicking.
Jiang Xue cursed inwardly: This old witch must have learned this from Madam Rong!
The palace maids and eunuchs around held their breath, fearing that they would get into trouble.
Jiang Xue stood in the center of the palace and felt like she was thrown into a meat grinder, with hostility everywhere.
She tried to remain calm and repeated the tedious etiquette movements over and over again according to the queen's instructions.
Just when Jiang Xue felt like she was about to collapse, a delicate voice came over: "Hey, sister, are you teaching the princess? I'm here to pay my respects to you."
Jiang Xue looked up and saw a woman in pink palace dress walking towards her.
She has a pretty face and a graceful figure, and there is a charm in her every move.
"Sister Li Fei is here, come and sit down."
When the Queen saw Concubine Li, a smile appeared on her face, but there was a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
Concubine Li walked to the Queen and held her hand affectionately: "Sister, you have worked so hard. You don't even have time to rest in order to teach the princess."
As she said that, she turned to look at Jiang Xue with a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Princess sister, you must study hard and don't let your sister down."
Jiang Xue looked at Concubine Li's seemingly harmless face and alarm bells began to ring in her heart.
It was obvious that Concubine Li came here to add fuel to the fire and to intensify the conflict between herself and the Queen.
"Empress Li is right. Xiaoxue will definitely keep it in mind." Jiang Xue said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
The queen became even more displeased when she saw this.
She felt that Jiang Xue was such an eyesore that she wanted to kick her out of the palace immediately.
"Princess, you are tired too. Go back and rest first." The queen waved her hand with a hint of impatience in her tone.
Jiang Xueru was pardoned and quickly bowed and took her leave.
She knew that the water in the harem was deeper than she had imagined. If she wanted to survive here, she had to be cautious and careful at every step.
Before leaving, Jiang Xue looked at Concubine Li meaningfully, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips.
"Empress, Concubine Li, Xiaoxue will take her leave." Jiang Xue slowly left the bedroom, but was secretly thinking in her heart.
It seems that the queen is not the only enemy in the harem.
Although Concubine Li seems harmless, she is actually very scheming and may be more difficult to deal with than the Queen.
but……
"Oh, since you guys want to play, I'll play with you!" Jiang Xue muttered to herself as she walked.
Jiang Xue left the bedroom with a slight smile on her lips, thinking: The women in the harem are indeed all graduates of the Drama Academy.
She walked lightly and returned to the Queen again, with a harmless smile on her face. She spoke softly in a voice that only the Queen could hear:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li is so blessed. No wonder she is favored by the Emperor."
