The concubines in the harem gathered at Concubine Liu's Yaohua Palace early in the morning, pointing out Bei Lingyao's faults and criticizing and belittling all eighteen generations of the Bei family's ancestors.
Even Concubine Lu came.
As the two first and second rank concubines in the harem, Concubine Lu, the daughter of the Grand Princess, and Concubine Liu, the niece of the Empress Dowager, were originally at odds with each other.
In the past ten years, in order to compete for the position of noble concubine and the position of Empress, the two concubines formed cliques in the harem and excluded dissidents.
Once someone does not take sides and wants to remain neutral, they will be treated cruelly by all means, and either be sent to the cold palace or die.
But none of them expected that a strong rival like Bei Fei would emerge.
He went to bed with them while stepping on their faces.
They were born with a family mission and fought hard to enter the palace, but they never expected to be alone in the deep palace.
Ten years, how many decades do women have?
They can't help but hate and blame.
Originally, no one could get it, everyone was the same.
Now, an exception was made for the new concubine Bei.
"You all should go back. I still have something to discuss with Concubine Lu."
Concubine Liu looked at Concubine Lu and waved to the other concubines.
"My concubines, I will take my leave."
After the concubines left, Concubine Liu looked at Concubine Lu and sneered, "Why are you pretending? I don't believe you are not anxious."
Concubine Lu pulled at the armor on her hand and said sarcastically, "You've just entered the palace, and you're already losing your temper. It seems I overestimated you."
Concubine Liu said contemptuously, "Oh, how could you, Concubine Lu, have the patience to come to Yaohua Palace? This position of Central Concubine is something I am determined to secure. If the Emperor doesn't appoint a queen, then the position of Imperial Concubine will also be mine. If I lose to you, I will accept it, but I won't let it go for anyone else."
Concubine Lu's fiery red lips curled up slightly, revealing her ambition. "This palace and Concubine Liu are of the same mind. However, the harem master position, the emperor's favor, and the royal heir, this palace wants them all."
"Don't even think about it. As long as I'm here, you can only be Consort Lu for the rest of your life. At most, I'll become the Queen and make you a Noble Consort."
Concubine Liu did not take Concubine Lu's words to heart. Her aunt was the empress dowager, and the throne would be hers sooner or later.
Concubine Lu was too disdainful to argue. So what if it was the Empress Dowager? Everyone in the capital knew that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were not on good terms. Not to mention the past seven days, even in the past ten years, the Emperor had punished so many of the Empress Dowager and Prince Fu's people.
Her mother is the late emperor's biological sister, the eldest princess of Dagan. Although she has been a bystander to the emperor's situation and has not done anything to help him, she has also been helping the Empress Dowager and Prince Fu in the past few years.
In this harem, she is the only one with noble royal blood.
The throne can only be hers.
Even if the emperor has no children, as long as she becomes the empress, she can adopt a child from the royal family under her name.
As for the one from Yufu Palace, Liu can't tolerate him even more than she does. Let's just wait and see.
Temporary favor is nothing but a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. The one who laughs last is the winner.
"Oh, Concubine Lu spoke harshly to the Emperor when she was young. Do you think the Emperor has taken it to heart?"
As soon as Concubine Liu said this, Concubine Lu's face changed slightly. "You also said that it was just the words of a young child, and no one would take it seriously. The emperor is tolerant and broad-minded, unlike some people who are petty and calculative."
"Concubine Lu, there's no need to insinuate. At least I haven't left a bad impression on the Emperor. However, there's a powerful enemy in the harem, and we should work together to eliminate him now."
They regarded the position and power in the harem as theirs. They had been competing with each other since they were in their boudoirs, and continued to fight after entering the palace. They were reluctant to lose to their opponents, let alone someone who suddenly appeared to compete with them.
In their hearts, Bei Lingyao, the Concubine Bei, was not worthy of being on equal footing with them, let alone being qualified to compete with them.
Concubine Lu raised her eyebrows: "What does Concubine Liu want?"
"Let's go to Yufu Palace. I want to see what kind of vixen has bewitched the emperor."
Concubine Liu said this with gritted teeth. She had liked the emperor since she was young, but she was too young and could only watch her cousin become the Crown Princess.
But my cousin was stupid, blind and heartless. She actually fell in love with a lowly guard and drugged the emperor during his wedding, and reaped the consequences.
Concubine Liu did not sympathize with her cousin. She only hated that she was young at the time and that caused her cousin to hurt the emperor's heart. As a result, no matter how hard she tried in the past ten years, the emperor was unwilling to even look at her.
"You're out of your mind. How can we, noble ladies, lower our status and go to Yufu Palace? Where is our dignity?"
Even if Bei Fei was of the same rank as them, she would still be behind them.
Now that the two concubines hold the Phoenix Seal together, it is Concubine Bei who should take the initiative to visit them.
Concubine Liu didn't say anything. She just wanted to go to Yufu Palace to meet the emperor by chance. She hadn't seen the emperor for two months since the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Moreover, in the ten years since she entered the palace, she had seen the emperor only a handful of times.
The emperor would only appear at palace banquets on important festivals and holidays, and he would never be seen at other times.
The Empress Dowager's Thousand Autumn Festival was the day when the late Emperor passed away. The Empress Dowager did not hold a Thousand Autumn Festival banquet, and the Emperor did not come, so they lost another opportunity to see the Emperor.
They are already old, without favor and without children. They can't let a new young concubine step on their heads.
When they thought that the emperor doted on Concubine Bei too much and helped her to become the empress, and they had to kneel down to worship Concubine Bei, Concubine Liu and Concubine Lu were filled with murderous intent.
"The Queen Mother is staying in seclusion in the Buddhist temple, so she doesn't need to pay respects on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. Why don't we hold a flower viewing banquet to see what Concubine Bei has in mind?"
"become"
Concubine Lu agreed and did not stay any longer.
[Ding! The fertility system has issued a task. If the host successfully serves the bed within three days, they will receive ten points, a fertility pill, and ten lucky draws. If they fail, there will be no reward.]
Bei Lingyao frowned slightly. She only got ten points for successfully sleeping with the emperor, which was too little.
But this is extra, as long as she completes the tasks in this world, she will get thousands of points.
[What are the prizes for the lucky draw?]
[All items in the system mall can be drawn in a lottery, and the host can check it in the system control panel. ]
[What is the winning rate?]
【It depends on luck, at least 30%.】
Bei Lingyao's heart was pounding. She looked at the system control panel and browsed through it quickly.
Pills for conceiving a son, pills for conceiving a daughter, pills for conceiving a dragon and a phoenix, pills for conceiving twins...
She skipped the fertility pill and looked at the other pills.
Aphrodisiacs, hallucinogenic drugs, various poison pills, antidote pills, various high-level skills and magic weapons made her eyes sparkle.
When she saw the eighth-grade repair pill that she needed most, she had an irresistible desire.
She wanted to repair her dantian, which required at least an eighth-grade or higher repair pill. It would be great if she could win one.
She didn't know how many worlds' worth of tasks she had to complete to redeem that long string of points.
Not to mention, she needs more than just the repair pill.
[Is there any elixir that can cure Emperor Shengwu's impotence?]
Bei Lingyao was bound to the childbearing system, so she was ready to give birth to a child for the emperor who had no heir, but if the tyrant was not capable, it would be useless for her to do it alone.
[Guben Zhuangyang Pill, can strengthen the body and cure impotence, one pill costs 10,000 points. Yuye Pill, lasts for six hours, one pill costs 1,000 points.]
Bei Lingyao looked at her account with 100 points. "Can I buy on credit?"
[This system is running low on energy and cannot be used on credit. The host should rely on his own efforts.]
