Consort Hui initially thought her son only liked one woman, but she never expected him to like Geng Youran so much.
"Baoqing, tell your mother the truth, what is the background of this Geng Youran that makes you so concerned?"
“She saved me. And Abbot Yuanyi of Guanyun Temple also said that Geng Youran is a very lucky person.”
The rest, Yinzhi was unwilling to elaborate on, and Consort Hui did not press further. That evening, Consort Hui summoned Geng Youran to her room alone and spoke to her briefly.
Afterwards, Geng Youran returned to the side room and found that the medicine bottle left by the imperial physician to remove her scars had been smashed, and her bed was wet.
Geng Youran looked around, then picked up the teapot and poured it over the head of a pretty woman.
"Ah! What are you doing?"
"That's what I should be asking you. You know what you've done."
"Geng Youran, don't think you can be so arrogant just because you have the Empress and the Prince protecting you. Let me tell you, in this palace, you are nothing but a lowly servant!"
"What? Do you think you're superior to me?"
Isn't that so?
The palace maid who was being watered was named Lüyao. She was from the Ulanara clan and was a distant relative of Consort Hui's family. Because of her good looks and her clan affiliation with Consort Hui, she often bullied others.
“I know you. You are also from the Ulanara clan. But you are just a son born to a concubine. I heard that your father’s favoritism towards his wife and neglect of her was reported to Consort Hui. If it weren’t for the Consort’s kindness in keeping you in Yanxi Palace, you would probably be a servant in some household now.”
"you!"
Geng Youran didn't know what the original owner's personality was like, but since she had taken over this body, she couldn't waste this opportunity, and she couldn't let others bully her.
"How dare you speak ill of your master behind his back!"
"Sister Qingzhi!"
When everyone saw Qingzhi enter the room, they all quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at her.
Qingzhi looked around and roughly knew what had happened.
"Luyao, starting tomorrow, you will serve the Empress's flowers and plants in the outer courtyard. You don't need to go into the inner courtyard anymore. As for Youran, pack up and start sleeping with me from today."
Just as Qingzhi finished speaking and turned to leave, she heard Lüyao call out:
"I refuse to accept this!"
So Qingzhi turned around again and walked up to Lüyao.
"I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."
"I...I'm not having it. She was the one who poured water on my head, so why am I the one being punished?"
"I don't need to tell you what you did before this, do I?"
"You have no evidence and cannot frame me. I...I will report you to the Empress!"
Everyone else was mocking Lü Yao for being brainless.
Qingzhi had served Consort Hui for nearly ten years, and her favor with the emperor was second only to the head maid. For a mere third-rank palace maid like Lüyao to dare speak to her like that was truly courting death.
"Since that's the case, go ahead and sue me. I'd like to see what kind of trouble you can cause."
Then Qingzhi glanced at Geng Youran again.
"What are you staring at? Aren't you coming with me?"
"yes!"
The two of them left the side room, and no one else dared to speak to Lüyao.
Green Jade clenched her fists, cursing inwardly:
"You wait, I will never let you get away with this!"
