The next concubines below them were the little Khitan princess Lan Fei and the sister of the great general of the Yu Dynasty, Jin Fei.
Concubine Lan was a little princess sent by the Khitan king to marry a foreign prince. She was the most beautiful woman in the Khitan and had a unique fragrance that could attract butterflies.
Su Yingchen went to her palace about once a month.
Concubine Lan was not favored, but she was not ignored either.
However, the relationship between Khitan and Yu Dynasty did not ease because of the marriage, and Concubine Lan was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma.
Concubine Jin had the most powerful background in the entire Jade Dynasty harem.
Her brother Jin Jun is highly regarded by Su Yingchen.
At the beginning, Su Yingchen was sent to Khitan as a hostage.
On the way back to Yu Dynasty, he was nearly killed.
It was Jin Junze who saved him and escorted him all the way to the throne.
It can be said that Jin Junze has the merit of following the dragon.
Jin Junze's sister Jin Huatong is the most favored person in the harem except for Queen Wang Zhener.
The concubines below them were all daughters of important officials or talented women from the common people who were selected this year, and many of them had not even been favored yet.
What's worse, they will spend their whole life alone in the harem.
Until death, he will never see Su Yingchen again.
…
The place where Zhu Xianyue lived was called Yunyanxuan, located in the southeast corner of the imperial palace.
There were only two fourteen-year-old maids and a lame eunuch serving her.
They each do their job and have no bad intentions.
He also knew that he was not capable enough and did not try to curry favor with concubines of higher status.
Seeing that they were cleaning the yard, Zhu Xianyue said she was going out for a walk.
The pavilion is nearby, not far away.
Perhaps it was because the original owner was used to living in seclusion, so they were quite surprised when Zhu Xianyue spoke.
The palace maid named Xiaorui put down her broom and wanted to go with Zhu Xianyue, but was rejected by Zhu Xianyue.
"Yunyanxuan isn't small, so cleaning it for just the three of you is not an easy job."
"I'm not favored anyway, and no one will bother me. I'll go quickly and come back quickly."
Seeing Zhu Xianyue's insistence, Xiaorui had no choice but to pick up the broom again.
…
Zhu Xianyue was lying to Xiaorui. She wouldn't "go and come back quickly."
As dusk approached, the lake water in front of the pavilion turned cold.
Not far away, Concubine Qiao, who had just entered the palace this year, and Zhao Baolin were arguing.
The two were close friends in the boudoir and had been close friends for many years. They were also selected into the harem together.
Who would have thought that the one with a higher birthright only became Baolin, while the one with a lower birthright became a beauty.
Su Yingchen also turned over Miss Qiao's sign.
Zhao Baolin was burning with jealousy and made an appointment with Lady Qiao here.
Jealousy is one of the seven evils.
But she was young and energetic and couldn't care less.
Anyone else can do it—but not my best friend!
Since I cannot have divine grace, neither can you! That's how we can be considered close friends!
Lady Qiao thought Zhao Baolin was ridiculous and turned to leave.
During the argument, Zhao Baolin pushed Lady Qiao into the lake!
"Help! Help...help me...Zhao Baolin!"
Miss Qiao's cries for help were quickly drowned out by the lake.
Miss Qiao can't swim, but neither can Zhao Baolin.
Zhao Baolin was terrified. She took two steps back, then clenched her fists and turned away.
She didn't know that after she left, Zhu Xianyue appeared from behind the tree, jumped into the icy lake and saved Lady Qiao.
…
The deep palace is really a scary place.
It will eat away at your faith bit by bit.
Just like Concubine Qiao and Zhao Baolin, if they had not entered the palace, if they had each found their ideal husband and had no emotional disputes, they would most likely have become lifelong friends.
But now, close friends have become enemies.
However, it is precisely this belief-devouring part that allows you to see people's true nature.
