They had always been so sure of themselves, so while they were jealous of Bei Yutang, it was only a little, not too deep. However, the current situation seemed a little off.
It seemed necessary to test the waters. However, she didn't want to take action.
Concubine Shu thought of Concubine De and the others, "How are Concubine De and Concubine Xian?"
The head maid replied respectfully, "There's been no activity from the Xianfei Empress, but the Defei Empress did punish a palace maid."
"Yeah."
This is taking your anger out on your servants.
"Your Majesty, there's something strange going on with Concubine Liang." The head palace maid said again.
Concubine Shu was in the mood, "Tell me about it."
"Empress Liang, a lot of things were smashed. People outside said that a palace maid accidentally bumped into a shelf and broke it, but I heard that three baskets of things were swept out. It doesn't seem like such a number of things could be knocked over by a wooden shelf." The senior palace maid said carefully.
Concubine Shu put down the teacup in her hand with a meaningful smile on her lips.
"It's really unexpected. Concubine Liang, ah, Concubine Liang, you are such a peaceful Concubine Liang." There was a hint of sarcasm on Concubine Shu's lips.
In this harem, no one can live in peace and harmony.
It's interesting that a woman who is not competitive and not often favored can actually stand on equal footing with them.
It was strange that no one had noticed her before. Even stranger was that no one in the entire harem had noticed her.
If Bei Yutang had not targeted Concubine Liang intentionally or unintentionally these times, she probably would not have noticed her existence.
Concubine Shu felt that she might have guessed why Bei Yutang targeted her. Even if there was a slight deviation, it was almost correct.
Tsk tsk, I used to think Concubine Chen was brainless and impulsive, but now it seems she is not completely useless. Or maybe she is just like Concubine Liang, pretending to be this way.
Concubine Shu's repeated thinking and deliberation really allowed her to grasp a lot of things. If Bei Yutang knew about it, she would give her a thumbs up.
Shufei is indeed the most calculating and scheming woman in the harem.
Xianfu Palace
When Concubine Xian heard the news, she was burning with jealousy, but she didn't dare to show it. Because she still had to rely on Bei Yutang to survive, without her support, her life would not be so easy.
"Yumei, bring out my set of carved warm jade."
Yumei knew that the Empress was planning to give a gift to the Imperial Concubine, but this was the Empress's favorite set of jade, and she was reluctant to wear it on weekdays.
"Empress, do you want to change into a new set?" Yumei couldn't help but ask.
"No, this is it."
"But this is your birthday gift from the Emperor."
The virtuous concubine's face turned cold, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will not let you go. Hurry and get it."
Those things are just dead objects, what matters is the emperor's favor. In this harem, it has always been a place where the high are praised and the low are trampled.
The Emperor hadn't come to her for three months. If she hadn't been dependent on Concubine Chen, she would have been ignored long ago. If the Emperor didn't come to her, she could only beg Concubine Chen. After all, she was so favored, so why not give her some?
"My queen, the things are here." Yumei held an exquisite box.
The virtuous concubine looked at the box, jealousy and hatred flashing in her eyes. One day, all these good things would return to her.
Xian Fei withdrew her gaze and said, "Let's go."
