"Mammy, did you hear what His Majesty said to me?"
There were tears in the imperial concubine's eyes. She had taken good care of herself over the years. Although she was in her thirties, she looked fine.
But her nanny felt the imperial concubine's aging at this moment.
Or rather, the belief that supported the imperial concubine collapsed.
Because of Princess Minghua, His Majesty has always been very good to the Concubine over the years.
There were no particularly favored people in the palace. Those people came and went, one after another, like ephemeral flowers, only blooming for a short period of time.
But the imperial concubine has always been there. When Princess Minghua lived in the palace, His Majesty might not stay overnight, but he would come to have dinner with the princess and the imperial concubine every day.
Later, Princess Minghua wanted to move out of the palace. Even though the imperial concubine was unwilling, the emperor just wanted to go along with his beloved daughter.
Later, Princess Minghua would enter the palace on the first and fifteenth day of every month, or come back at other times, but as long as Princess Minghua was in the palace, the emperor would come to the imperial concubine.
Over time, in the imperial concubine's heart, she is unique in His Majesty's mind.
Compared with His Majesty's cold-heartedness towards other concubines in the harem, the imperial concubine is indeed unique.
But a bystander sees more clearly than one involved in the matter. The nanny knew very well that all this was because of Princess Minghua. Princess Minghua was His Majesty's most precious and noble daughter, and the imperial concubine had also gained a lot of benefits from it.
But she knew that the emperor probably disliked the imperial concubine only because she was the princess's biological mother.
But the noble concubine...
The Imperial Concubine cares too much about Your Majesty and regards Your Majesty as extremely important, even many times more important than Princess Minghua.
But she didn't understand that Princess Minghua was the most important.
With a princess, as long as the emperor cares about the princess, the empress will be able to stand firm forever.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty is just angry for a moment. He will be fine after a while."
The nanny supported the imperial concubine and tried to comfort her: "As long as the princess is here, your majesty does not need to worry. You are the princess's biological mother. If His Majesty is cold to you, the princess will be sad. His Majesty cares about the princess, so your majesty does not need to be afraid."
The imperial concubine shook her head: "But in His Majesty's heart, I am already an unforgivable criminal. His Majesty may be nice to me on the surface for the princess, but what about His Majesty's heart?"
The nanny didn't know that the only person she cared about most was His Majesty, and she cared about how His Majesty viewed her.
The nanny shook her head in her heart, but didn't know how to persuade her.
It's rare for her to say that she looks good on the surface.
The other women in the palace can only get the superficial favor of His Majesty, and they can't even get it. Compared with these women, the imperial concubine is so much better.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has sent someone to say that he will come again tonight."
Xu Lingyi was depressed. Since she entered the palace, the emperor only stayed with her and never visited other people in the harem.
Although the emperor had good skills and she enjoyed it, Xu Lingyi also wanted to take a break.
She couldn't stand it all the time, not to mention the women in the harem, they must hate her to death now.
The last time she met Li Guipin, Li Guipin was so disrespectful that she couldn't help rolling her eyes at her.
For a moment, Xu Lingyi didn't know whether this man was stupid or really hated her to the point of being uncontrollable.
But Xu Lingyi certainly won't be a saint to those who are unfriendly to her.
She punished her by making her kneel on the ground on the spot, and then turned around and complained to the emperor crying.
"Don't cry, my beloved concubine." The emperor hugged her and coaxed her softly, "How about I call Concubine Li over and let you vent your anger?"
Xu Lingyi nodded: "Anyway, Your Majesty is going to make the decision for me. I don't think I have offended Concubine Li."
Soon, Concubine Li was pressed over.
Concubine Li was kneeling on the ground, but Xu Lingyi and the emperor were sitting at the top.
From her perspective, His Majesty was still hugging Xu Lingyi.
Li Guipin's eyes became even redder, and her heart was bleeding with hatred.
She entered the palace three years ago, but there was no woman prettier than her in the palace. The last selection only chose some ugly girls, so before Xu Lingyi appeared, she was still favored, otherwise she would not have climbed to the position of noble concubine.
At that time in the palace, the only person above her was the Imperial Concubine.
But since Xu Lingyi entered the palace, she has been completely forgotten by His Majesty.
How could Li Guipin not hate Xu Lingyi?
She wanted to kill Xu Lingyi.
"Your Majesty, I'm so scared by her eyes." Xu Lingyi turned around and threw herself into the emperor's arms.
Li Guipin felt even more resentful. She felt that Xu Lingyi had taken away all her favor. If it weren't for Xu Lingyi, the person in His Majesty's arms at this moment would be her, and she would be the one His Majesty liked.
"Li Guipin." The emperor cast a cold look at her. "Have you learned the palace rules?"
Li Guipin's eyes turned red instantly. This was the first time the emperor spoke to her in such a tone.
She stood there for a moment, unable to believe it.
Xu Lingyi sneered in her heart. This is the result of giving your heart wholeheartedly.
"Confine Concubine Li to her room, study the palace rules daily, and demote her to the rank of noble lady."
Li Guipin couldn't believe that she was demoted two levels at once.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do that."
Li Guipin seemed to have a lot more to say, but she was directly suppressed.
After this, there was even more fear and jealousy towards her in the harem, and Xu Lingyi could feel the hostility of the concubines.
But she didn't care. The path she wanted to take and the power she wanted to fight for were destined to put her at odds with the people in the harem, and they were destined to become enemies.
She would not take the initiative to attack, which was her last kindness, but if someone dealt with her, she would definitely not show mercy.
She was kind enough in her previous life, but her entire family was wiped out.
