Chapter 275 Wei Yanwan 15
"I was wondering who this was, it turns out to be Concubine Chun... and our always-haunted Wei Ying."
As soon as this voice came out, Concubine Chun and Wei Yanwan unexpectedly understood each other and secretly cursed bad luck in their hearts.
Concubine Chun curled her lips, still unwilling to offend anyone, so she just smiled perfunctorily: "It's Concubine Shen, where is Concubine Jia?"
"Si A-ge coughed twice this morning, so Concubine Jia was late. I will go to the Imperial Garden and wait for you."
While Shen Chang was chatting with Concubine Chun, he glanced at Wei Yanwan, who was standing aside without saying much, with malice surging in his heart.
Although A Ruo was a palace maid who rose to power, she never considered herself a slave and even considered her previous experience of serving Ruyi as a shame. However, the appearance of Wei Yanwan completely tore off her fig leaf.
Both of them were born as palace maids, but the other was recommended by the master and is actually favored by the emperor. Doesn't this make it even more obvious that her position was not legitimate?
Furthermore, after several months of recuperation, Wei Yanwan's appearance was even better than in her previous life, and she was no less beautiful than the most beautiful women in the palace, such as Jin Yuyan and Han Xiangjian. This made A Ruo, whose appearance was not particularly outstanding, even more jealous.
"As the saying goes, hard work pays off. I was originally planning to go here to enjoy some romantic opportunities, but unexpectedly I ran into Sister Chunfei and the elusive Wei Yingda. You are truly a rare beauty. No wonder Sister Chunfei was willing to introduce you to the Emperor."
"I just wonder if this Wei Ying is taking advantage of the emperor's favor and becoming arrogant. It's so hard to even see him on a regular basis."
Ah Ruo's words were filled with sarcasm, but Wei Yanwan didn't even bother to raise her eyelids. To her, this close-range approach meant only one thing: You're impatient.
To be honest, with A Ruo's pig-like brain, the only thing she had left to be vigilant about was to prevent these silly girls from stabbing her with knives when they got angry.
“What are you talking about here, Shen Chang, if you say favor, you are not bad either.”
Concubine Chun looked at the submissive Wei Yanwan and said something in her favor. After all, with Wei Yanwan's current means, it would not be a problem to win over Concubine Chun.
Because she had given Concubine Chun several suggestions, and because Wei Yanwan had always been obedient and respectful to her, Concubine Chun would even offer a helping hand out of consideration for Wei Yanwan's continued favor.
Besides, Concubine Chun was also annoyed with A Ruo.
"It's getting late. Since Concubine Shen is waiting here for Concubine Jia, I and Wei Ying will leave first."
After Concubine Chun finished speaking, she didn't give A Ruo a chance to speak, and directly sent the sedan chair over. Wei Yanwan naturally hurried to follow, not paying any attention to Shen Chang the entire time.
When they entered Changchun Palace, they found several lowly concubines and Imperial Concubine Hui there. The former was afraid, while the latter's excited look suggested she was holding something back.
Wei Yanwan calculated the time and could only guess that Hai Lan had activated her passive skill of pitting her sister - she had specially burned paper figures in the cold palace and was discovered by Gao Xiyue. By mistake, the Queen's party believed that she had used the skill of exorcism to curse the prince.
Of course, Hailan's passive skill has been activated more than once, but this one is the most consistent in terms of timing.
The queen, who looked pretty good in her seat, glanced at everyone and her gaze inadvertently stopped on Wei Yanwan, but it was fleeting.
"I have been feeling unwell recently. I am grateful to the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Jia for their help. Thank you for your hard work."
Gao Xiyue and Jiapin quickly stood up, their faces showing just the right amount of warmth and humility: "Sharing the Empress's worries is not hard work at all."
"Yes, Queen, I haven't been able to help you much, so how can I thank you?"
Several people were chatting with each other in the hall, and they looked like sisters, close, harmonious and friendly.
Fucha Langya looked around, seeming to be very pleased with their friendly attitude towards each other: "Harmony in the harem is a sign of prosperity. Seeing you all like this, I am very pleased."
"Coincidentally, there is a newcomer today. Although everyone has seen him before, this is the first time I have met him."
Fu Cha Langya's voice was very gentle, and she didn't seem to be arrogant. At first glance, you might even mistake her for your neighbor's sister. "Who is Wei Da Ying? Come forward and get to know the other sisters."
Wei Yanwan slowly walked out from behind Concubine Chun. The gazes from all directions seemed real. She had no doubt that if these women could see through her, they would be happy to do so.
"I promised Wei that I would pay my respects to the Empress."
"Get up. From now on, you will be the emperor's concubine in the harem. We should continue to live in harmony."
"I will follow the Queen's instructions."
The Queen only asked a few questions casually and then let her leave. During this time, the Queen and Concubine Jia subconsciously glanced at the Imperial Concubine on the Queen's left. Seeing that she did not say anything to embarrass the newcomer, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Unfortunately, Concubine Hui was so immersed in important matters that she had no time to think about who was talking. She only wanted to wait for everyone to disperse so that she could secretly share her discovery with the Queen.
As for the new favorite in the harem? Haha, with no family background, no connections, and no support, what kind of waves can such a person cause even if he is favored?
Jiapin tried to test the waters a bit, but seeing that Hui Guifei refused to respond, she had no choice but to give up. Her character could take advantage of others' misfortunes, but actively targeting them was out of character for her.
Without them leading the way, others wouldn't be so foolish as to bump into someone who was enjoying the emperor's favor. Ah Ruo looked around and saw that no one was bothering Wei Yanwan. Confusion was evident in her eyes.
Why isn't it? When I became a concubine, your attitude wasn't like this? I've given so much, and in the end, you call me an ungrateful person and a traitor, either to my face or behind my back. Why are you so quiet when it comes to her?
A Ruo's father Gui Duo had made great contributions to flood control recently, and she became more and more proud and frivolous. Now facing Wei Yanwan, who had no family background, she was naturally not afraid and immediately said with a smile:
"Although the Empress taught us to live in harmony, I'm afraid some people will become arrogant and look down on people like us from humble backgrounds. They'll take advantage of the Emperor's favor and act pretentiously, forgetting the hierarchy."
Gao Xiyue was originally thinking about something, but was suddenly interrupted by her sharp voice. Naturally, she was in a bad mood. After hearing her words, she couldn't help laughing out loud: "Are you talking about yourself?"
As soon as these words were spoken, even the Queen and Concubine Jia couldn't help but smile, and several other concubines of lower rank also hurried to cover up their smiles.
Meipin burst out laughing: "Your Highness, your Highness has a profound understanding of things. You hit the nail on the head. Shen Chang should take a good look in the mirror before you criticize others."
Although A Ruo had exposed Ruyi, in Bai Ruiji's eyes, she was also an accomplice in the death of her child. Moreover, A Ruo herself was just a servant who had risen in power. Now that her father was proud of himself, he had forgotten his past humble status and really acted like a legitimate master, ordering her around.
Bai Ruiji was born into the Southern Palace, and her constant chatter about high and low was annoying. Concubine Mei, who always believed in retaliating against anyone who displeased her, would not tolerate A Ruo. She didn't care who she was talking about. She was just displeased and wanted to destroy her. What could you do to her?
