Chapter 421 I am temporarily out of power
Ran Xiaoyu looked back and saw a little palace maid running towards her.
She handed the two boxes to Ran Xiaoyu and said to her, "Sister Xiaoyu, these are two snuff bottles that the Empress had sent to Shou'an Palace. They are New Year tributes."
"snuff bottle?"
Ran Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows.
Having served in Yonghe Palace for some time, she also knew that every year the emperor would allocate some money from the tribute as rewards for the harem, and the money would always be given to the empress, who would distribute it according to rank.
Two days ago, the empresses of each palace received some gold and jade utensils.
When it came to Shou'an Palace, each person got only one snuff bottle.
Ran Xiaoyu nodded: "Oh, I see."
She took it and walked towards Shou'an Palace.
When the little palace maid saw her turn around and leave, she hurried behind a rockery, where Concubine Kang's personal maid He Xiang was waiting.
"Sister He Xiang."
"Well, well done."
As He Xiang spoke, she threw a piece of silver into her hand.
The little palace maid was so happy that she smiled and quickly put it in her bag. He Xiang said, "Also, remember to go to the palace and tell the female official, just say—"
She turned her head and glanced at Ran Xiaoyu's receding figure.
"She said that her good sister was being troubled by Consort Xia and Consort Du in Shou'an Palace."
“…”
"Tell her to go over and help quickly."
“…”
"If you don't go now, Ran Xiaoyu will probably get into big trouble."
“…”
"Go and tell her quickly. If you tell her, the Queen will give you a big reward."
After saying that, he took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve and tossed them casually. The little palace maid's eyes suddenly widened and she hurriedly said, "Yes!"
Turned around and ran towards the Ye Ting.
He Xiang sneered.

Shou'an Palace was deserted.
The wind blew and some fallen leaves on the ground were not cleaned up.
The people in the palace all flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. Xia Yunting and Du Siyao are treated coldly, so naturally no one will take good care of them.
At this moment, a burst of vicious shouting and cursing came from the quiet palace garden -
"Asshole!"
It was Du Siyao's voice.
In the Chunxi Hall, a side hall of Shou'an Palace, Du Siyao was throwing all the dishes on the table to the ground, spilling the food all over the floor.
She was so angry that her face turned red. She cursed, "I am a concubine after all, and you have to eat such leftovers!"
The young palace maid Xiaozhen beside her hurriedly said, "Selected Concubine, please keep your voice down."
"What am I afraid of?!"
Du Siyao said viciously: "Who is she? Isn't she just a Zhaoyi?"
“…”
"Now that I've lost my power, she dares to bully me like this!"
“…”
"Give me these leftovers!"
Xiaozhen said earnestly, "Don't worry about choosing a concubine."
Du Siyao was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
When she was still a concubine, she was so arrogant that she looked down upon everyone, including Xia Yunting and Si Nanyan. Who would have known that in the blink of an eye, the Queen would demote her to a concubine, whose rank was even lower than Xia Yunting's.
But she was asked to live in Shou'an Palace.
These days, Xia Yunting has been making things difficult for her palace maids.
Especially now that it is the middle of winter, the quilt that was delivered even had some willow catkins mixed in with the cotton, which made her shiver all over.
At this time, in the main hall of Shou'an Palace, Xia Yunting was facing the bronze mirror and letting Fulan do her makeup. She could hear the shouting and cursing outside.
Liu frowned and said, "Fulan, let her be quiet."
Fulan immediately said, "Yes."
