"I pay my respects to the Empress Shufei."
Zhu Xianyue's rank is lower than hers.
When you are in a lower position, you have to bow your head.
"Well, get up. You worked hard last night, and you don't have to stand. Sit down."
Zhong Meihui is much better at dealing with people than Yin Ningyan.
At least on the surface, you won't be able to find any mistakes.
"Yes, I thank the Empress Shufei."
Zhu Xianyue was not polite either.
Plus, she was really tired...
Xia Lingye is quite troublesome. Zhu Xianyue still has to walk carefully.
Etiquette cannot be abandoned. When someone comes to visit, she must show up.
Zhong Meihui told her to take good care of herself so that she could have a bright future when she gave birth to a royal heir.
Zhu Xianyue didn't think so much.
She is now Yu Zhaoyi, the highest-ranking woman in the palace except for the missing Empress Mu Yunshan and Concubine Zhong Meihui. Others' attitude towards Lord Zhu has improved a lot because of this.
Xia Lingye was not without affection for her, and would always take care of Lord Zhu for her sake.
Lord Zhu's official position is not high, but his life is stable.
As long as no one makes things difficult for him, the Zhu family will have a smooth life.
Zhong Meihui said some random things before returning to the main point -
"They say Consort Yu and the Empress are like twin sisters. I didn't believe it before, but now that I've seen them, I understand the Emperor's intentions!"
The implication is... So what if you are favored?
Isn't it just a substitute?
A fake is a fake and is not worthy of being displayed on the public.
She has hidden meanings in her words and is used to laughing and mocking people.
But Zhu Xianyue felt that dealing with this kind of person was easier than dealing with Yin Ningyan, that careless person.
——As long as you don’t take her words to heart, she can’t hurt you.
Don't listen to the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, why not sing and walk slowly? (Note: From Su Shi's "Ding Feng Bo")
Life is short, and it is not worth it to always waste your time on what others say.
Seeing that Zhu Xianyue's expression remained unchanged, Zhong Meihui felt puzzled.
...How come she doesn't care at all?
After talking for a long time, Zhong Meihui felt dry mouth and tongue.
After taking a sip of tea, I changed my mind.
"Speaking of which, the matter between you and Concubine Yin... since it's already in the past, don't take it to heart."
"In our Phoenix Dynasty, some people are born superior to others. We can't compare to them."
The implication is that if Yin Ningyan bullies you, you just have to endure it.
Who made her dislike you? Who made you not have a queen mother as your aunt?
You must be angry now, right?
It would be best if I and Yin Ningyan could become irreconcilable because of my instigation.
As long as you two start fighting, I can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers and reap the benefits.
But Zhu Xianyue just smiled and said, "...Well, Your Majesty is right. Concubine Yin and I entered the palace together and both served the Emperor. We must be sisters."
"Today, I beg Your Majesty, the Concubine Shu, to grant me the gift of the glass bracelet to Concubine Yin. Is Your Majesty willing?"
"That...that glass bracelet was picked out by me specifically for you. It complements your skin tone...otherwise, why don't you pick something else?"
Everything else is fine, except bracelets!
"Alright, then I'll send someone to tell Concubine Yin that Your Majesty, Concubine Shu, feels that her skin color doesn't match the glass bracelet, so you can only give her something else..."
Seeing that Zhu Xianyue was about to send a message from the palace maid, Zhong Meihui hurriedly stopped her.
"How can you say that? Isn't this telling her that I scolded her for having a dull complexion?!"
Zhong Meihui was extremely anxious, mainly because she didn't want to offend Yin Ningyan.
