"Look at you, why are you still being polite to me?"
"You have served the Emperor for quite some time. It would be a shame for you to be just a beauty."
"I will report to the Emperor and promote you to the rank of Concubine."
"This is such a small matter, and since the emperor has you in his heart, he will definitely agree."
Zhu Xianyue was about to express her gratitude when unexpectedly a burst of silver bell-like laughter came from the gate of Changchun Palace.
I heard his voice before I saw him.
The visitor was dressed in a rose-red palace gown, as delicate as a peony, with a graceful demeanor like a phoenix.
"It's just an old toy that the emperor thought of for fun, so how did it become a rare person?"
"If all of you could be promoted to a higher rank overnight, wouldn't I have already replaced the Queen?"
This person speaks wildly without any fear.
Upon hearing this, Queen Wang Zhen'er shook her head helplessly and reminded her gently, "Princess Jin, be mindful of your words and actions."
That’s right, this person is none other than Jin Huatong, the younger sister of the great general of the Yu Dynasty.
After entering the hall, Concubine Jin bowed to Wang Zhener in vain, then sat down without paying any attention to anyone.
Wang Zhen'er pulled the corner of her mouth bitterly and said, "Sisters, please sit down too."
"yes."
Everyone took their seats. Zhu Xianyue, a little beauty, sat in a corner.
Autumn is coming soon, and the Imperial Household Department is going to make autumn clothes for the ladies in each palace.
Wang Zhen'er asked for the opinions of several high-ranking concubines, and the rest were left to them to speak to the Ministry of Internal Affairs themselves.
This time it was almost noon when it ended.
Wang Zhener asked everyone to leave.
When he looked at Zhu Xianyue and wanted to say a few words to her, Concubine Jin took the lead.
"Lady Zhu, I envy you so much for your long, silky black hair. Come to my Xianfu Palace and tell me how you maintain it."
"It would be better if I could teach this method to the other concubines. This way, you sisters will be able to serve the Emperor better."
This is the reason why women dress up to please themselves.
Concubine Jin has the power to assist in managing the six palaces, so what she said is reasonable.
But... everyone can see that Concubine Jin is openly trying to snatch someone from the Empress!
However, her brother is in a high position and has great power, so even Su Yingchen has to give him some face.
Even though everyone had many complaints about Jin Huatong, they did not dare to speak out.
Wang Zhen'er showed sympathy to Zhu Xianyue, and then said, "Lady Zhu, please don't anger Concubine Jin. She has a bad temper."
Zhu Xianyue nodded in agreement, turned around and left with Concubine Jin's procession.
But I already have a general understanding in my heart.
…
Xianfu Palace is the most luxurious palace in the Yu Dynasty harem.
The rockery is lifelike, and the pavilions and terraces are planted with Jin Huatong's favorite albizzia trees.
Jin Huatong wore a Dongzhu bracelet on her wrist.
Dongzhu is precious and was originally used exclusively by the Empress.
But she had twelve of them, which she strung together with gold thread to make bracelets, which added to her elegance when she wore them on her wrists.
"I'm tired, I'm going to rest first."
"Lady Zhu, write down the secrets of your hair care. Anyone who conceals this will be killed immediately."
In Jin Huatong's eyes, human life is worthless.
She always speaks without regard for the consequences.
but--
In the original owner's memory, although Concubine Jin appeared to be cunning and domineering, she never actually executed palace maids or concubines at will.
Moreover, there is a large amount of lingxiang in her Dongzhu bracelet.
And this lingxiang is a milder contraceptive.
Wang Zhen'er came from a humble background, and even if it was a reward from Su Yingchen, she would not wear such a valuable item in public.
This Dongzhu bracelet could only have been brought by Jin Huatong from her mother's home.
She didn't want to have the emperor's offspring.
