At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed. Over the years, the Tianji Kingdom would copy scriptures and pray for their ancestors for three days after New Year's Eve, and the royal family was no exception.

Three days after copying, the sutras were enshrined in the royal temple, and on the fifth day, sacrifices were offered to ancestors in the Taimiao, praying for good weather and good harvests throughout the year.

As the emperor's daughter-in-law, Lu Yanluo naturally could not miss such occasions.

Along with many royal women, they copied the scriptures under the supervision of Concubine Xian.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when arranging the seats, Lu Yanluo and the newly granted concubine Qin were placed together.

Lu Yanluo didn't care. In her eyes, Qin was barely a pawn of Concubine Xian, and was not worth wasting her time and energy on.

But just because Lu Yanluo doesn't care doesn't mean others don't care, especially Qin, who has recently regarded Lu Yanluo as a thorn in their side.

After finishing copying the scriptures, Lu Yanluo stood up, washed her hands with the help of Xiao Ran, and then prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, just as Lu Yanluo was about to turn around and leave, Shufei beside her bumped into her head on, then let out a scream and fell to the ground.

Lu Yanluo looked at Qin's performance in wonder and remained indifferent.

Seeing Lu Yanluo standing there motionless, without even the intention of helping her, Qin stood up awkwardly with the help of the maid.

Then he looked at Lu Yanluo angrily and said, "What are you doing, Princess? Are you dissatisfied with me and want to make me unhappy?"

Qin is now a completely different person than before. Ever since she was canonized as Concubine Shu, her original white lotus appearance has long since disappeared. In the harem, she has become a more flamboyant person than Concubine Xian.

Lu Yanluo also noticed this, and she couldn't help sneering in her heart, but she said calmly, "Going to the palace to copy scriptures today should be a peaceful matter. I don't want to cause trouble, but Your Majesty wants to come to me, so I naturally have no way to stop her."

Qin was furious when she heard this, and pointed at Lu Yanluo and asked, "What does Princess Ye mean by this! Could it be that I am looking for trouble and deliberately bumping into you? Why would I do this? It's obviously you, because on New Year's Eve, His Majesty personally named me a noble concubine, which slapped you in the face, and you hold a grudge against me, so you deliberately targeted me!"

"My Lady!" Qin knelt down in front of the virtuous Lady, crying, "I am of humble origin, and my words are not taken seriously. I am not as noble as the Princess Ye, but I will not allow others to bully me. Please, My Lady, help me! Otherwise, I will not live!"

Everyone else present stared at Lu Yanluo and Shufei as if they were enjoying a good show. Everyone knew that the current Imperial Concubine disliked Princess Ye, and Shufei was only doing this to give Imperial Concubine Xian a reason to punish Lu Yanluo.

Everyone secretly admired in their hearts: What a good dog this is for Concubine Xian!

As expected, Concubine Xian looked at Lu Yanluo with a serious expression and lightly rebuked her, "Princess Ye really doesn't know the rules. What day is today? How can you be so presumptuous here? It seems that I have to discipline the princess on behalf of the Night King again."

Lu Yanluo raised her head and said, "Your Highness, please don't worry. I don't think I did anything wrong today and I don't need your advice. Your Highness bumped into me and everyone here saw it. Why would Your Highness put on a show? As for who is targeting whom today.

Lu Yanluo walked slowly to the side of Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian, and whispered, "Humph, it seems that the two ladies have not suffered enough from me. I, Lu Yanluo, have never been the type to sit and wait for death. If you don't believe me, just give it a try."

“How dare you!” Concubine Xian held her status high and shouted angrily, “Princess Ye is really becoming more and more unruly. But today is a good day, and I don’t want to get entangled with you. I will punish you to kneel here for two hours, and you can leave only when the time is up!”

Lu Yanluo lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: "I'm sorry, I can't obey your order. I can't take responsibility for something I didn't do. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

"You!" Concubine Xian felt ashamed on the spot. She never expected that Lu Yanluo would directly contradict her.

Seeing this, Qin was delighted and added fuel to the fire: "Princess, you are so bold, don't you take the Imperial Concubine seriously?"

Lu Yanluo was neither humble nor arrogant. She stood in the middle in silence, looking at Qin with ambiguous eyes, as if she was looking at a clown.

Seeing that Lu Yanluo refused to give in, Concubine Xian's face turned pale and she gritted her teeth in her heart, deciding that she would teach Lu Yanluo a lesson today no matter what, otherwise how would she gain a foothold in the harem in the future!

The three of them were in a stalemate in the hall for a while.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and two young eunuchs holding an exquisite carved box slowly pushed open the door and walked in.

"Greetings, ladies and gentlemen." The eunuch came over and greeted everyone respectfully. He then walked to Lu Yanluo's side and said softly, "Your servant greets the princess. This is what His Royal Highness Prince Ye asked me to bring to her." As he said that, he asked the little eunuch behind him to slowly open the box in his hand in full view of everyone.

For a moment, everyone saw a dazzling array of lights before their eyes, and the box actually contained a complete set of twelve colorful Liuyun gold hairpins.

The pure gold hairpins are extremely noble. Each hairpin is inlaid with dazzling red gems and extremely precious oriental pearls.

This set of hairpins, even just one of them is enough to make people yearn for it, let alone a complete set of twelve. Moreover, it is said that this was made by the emperor of the previous dynasty for one of his beloved concubines. For a moment, everyone looked at Lu Yanluo with envy in their eyes.

Under everyone's gaze, the eunuch spoke again: "This is what the prince just took out from the treasury. He thought it would suit the princess' temperament, so he asked the servant to bring it to her. The prince said that the princess should wear it at the sacrificial hall tomorrow."

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked at each other, sighing in their hearts. This King Ye is really different now. He can enter and leave the treasury at will just to choose a decent piece of jewelry for his princess.

Lu Yanluo secretly found it funny. Chu Xuan's move was nothing more than a warning to Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu, to let them know that Princess Ye was not someone who could be bullied by anyone.

Sure enough, when Concubine Shu saw this, she said sarcastically, "The Night King is really generous! It seems that I underestimated the princess. I didn't expect that the princess was so resourceful and could control the Night King's heart so tightly."

Shufei had just been canonized, and the emperor, either by forgetting or intentional, did not give her any decent rewards. Therefore, he was very jealous of Lu Yanluo and secretly mocked Lu Yanluo for being a vixen.

How could Lu Yanluo not hear the hidden meaning in her words? She said casually, "The prince is naturally good to me. After all, we are husband and wife. Isn't that what the Concubine Shu said?"

Concubine Shu was immediately embarrassed, her face flushed, and she left with a wave of her sleeves. It was obvious that Lu Yanluo was mocking her for being a concubine!
