Chapter 64 Strive
Lady Zhao didn't dare to look at it any more, and said hurriedly, "Sister, you are too polite. I have my own jewelry, so I don't need you to spend money on it."
"You are just too timid. You don't know that in this harem, the brave ones will die of overeating while the timid ones will die of starvation. If you want to live like a human being, you have to work hard to fight for it. If you don't fight for it, you will only be trampled on the ground and become the mud that everyone tramples on."
As Concubine Li spoke, she picked up a golden butterfly hairpin inlaid with jade and inserted it into Concubine Zhao's bun.
Lady Zhao suddenly felt as if her head had gained a pound of weight.
She wanted to take off the gold hairpin.
Concubine Li stopped her and said, "Don't move. Just wear it like this. It looks so beautiful. If the prince saw you like this, he would definitely be moved."
Upon hearing this, Lady Zhao paused.
There is no woman who marries into the Eastern Palace who does not admire the prince, not to mention that the prince is so handsome, which makes people even more attracted to him.
Concubine Zhao was no exception.
The first time she saw the prince, she was attracted by this cold and aloof man.
It’s a pity that the prince never noticed her.
Thinking of this, Miss Zhao felt a sense of loss in her heart.
Concubine Li saw what she was thinking at a glance and said affectionately, "Silly sister, if you like someone, you should fight for him. You can't wait for the prince just by sitting at home every day. Look at Xiao Liang Di. In order to get the prince's attention, she even rushed to hug the prince's thigh in broad daylight. Look at the favor she has received now. She did everything she could to get it."
Lady Zhao lowered her head and whispered, "I'm not as bold as her. I don't dare."
"Why not? As long as you are willing to take risks, you will definitely get the prince's attention."
Lady Zhao still shook her head: "I am different from her. She is the daughter of a general and is not afraid of offending people. But I am only the daughter of a seventh-rank official. If I anger the crown prince, no one will be able to protect me."
"I can protect you."
Concubine Zhao was stunned, and looked at Concubine Li with confusion and suspicion in her eyes.
In her impression, Concubine Li is not the kind of good person who would protect others for no reason.
To be exact, in this harem, there has never been a good-for-nothing who would think of others for no reason.
Concubine Li knew that words alone could not impress the other party, so she took off the jade bracelet on her wrist.
"This is a relic left by my grandmother. I wear it every day. It is my most beloved jewelry. I am giving it to you now. From now on, you will be my real sister. No matter what happens to you, I will help you."
Lady Zhao was stunned when she saw the clear jade bracelet in front of her.
She didn't expect that Concubine Li could even take out such an important thing. Could it be that Concubine Li really wanted to help her? But why?
Concubine Li took Concubine Zhao's right hand and put the jade bracelet on it.
The translucent jade bracelet makes Lady Zhao's wrist look even more slender and fair.
Concubine Li smiled and praised: "It is true that a beautiful jade matches a beautiful woman!"
Lady Zhao looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist, her mind still a little dazed: "Why did my sister help me?"
"If I say that I like you and think we are meant to be together, you will definitely not believe me. Since I have already acknowledged you as my sister, I will not tell you these empty words. The reason I am helping you is that I want you to compete with Xiao Liangdi for her favor. I do not expect you to completely snatch the prince away from Xiao Liangdi. I just need you to make the prince no longer favor Xiao Liangdi so much. Originally, you don't need to do this, but I am sick now and I will not get better in a short time. I can only ask you to help me with this. Sister, you should not want to see the prince being monopolized by Xiao Liangdi, right?"
