Zhu Xianyue turned around.
She saw Concubine Wen, who had a higher rank than her.
This Concubine Wen has a very prominent background.
She is Concubine Wen's concubine sister.
However, he was raised by his stepmother and grew up as Concubine Wen's "study companion".
Two years younger than Zhu Xianyue.
Logically speaking, Zhu Xianyue should be called "sister".
But Zhu Xianyue's status was too low, and if she really called him like that, it would bring disaster to Zhu Xianyue.
When Concubine Liang saw the young Concubine Wen, she felt as if her tail had been stepped on and dared not say a word.
Although Concubine Wen's rank is lower than hers, her elder sister is Concubine Wen.
She can't compare.
"Aunt Xianyue... no, it should be Concubine Zhu. I used to be delighted to see you, thinking that such a symbolic person existed in this world. Now you are serving His Majesty like us sisters, and I am truly happy."
As she spoke, she took Zhu Xianyue's hand.
Concubine Liang was unwilling, but she had no choice.
"Let's go, let's go pay our respects to Concubine Wen."
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, or when a new concubine is favored, she must come to pay her respects to Noble Concubine Wen.
Coincidentally, Zhu Xianyue arrived on the same day.
Concubine Wen was graceful and elegant, but there was a hint of fatigue between her brows.
After accepting the sisters' kneeling greetings, he scolded them a few words, neither too light nor too harsh.
Then he deliberately "plucked" Zhu Xianyue out and said, "Concubine Zhu, among our harem, you have served His Majesty the longest."
"I still remember... when my mother was pregnant with my third sister, a shameless girl took advantage of this opportunity to climb into my father's bed."
"My mother, in consideration of her years of service, made her her concubine. But she has become rampant ever since."
"The only interest my father had in her didn't last long."
"Later... she died inexplicably at the hands of another concubine. She was skinned and her tendons were pulled out, and her intestines were dragged several feet away by dogs... It was terrible."
"Father said that such a shameless fool deserves death! He actually thinks her death is unlucky and an eyesore to him!"
After he finished speaking, he laughed out loud.
Seeing this, everyone in the harem also smiled.
——Noble Concubine Wen smiled. If you didn’t smile, people would think you had something against Noble Concubine Wen!
However, everyone knew that the one laughing was not the "aunt", but Zhu Xianyue.
Concubine Wen was mocking Zhu Xianyue.
As a senior palace maid, and of the rank of "Aunt", she climbed onto the dragon bed on the night when Ru Guiren was beaten to death.
It's really... indecent.
Because Zhu Xianyue served Nan Tingye, many concubines gave her gifts in the past in order to get her to say a few good words for them in front of Nan Tingye.
The original owner had refused, but also accepted some of them.
In other words, Zhu Xianyue had seen their "ugly" behavior when begging for help.
Especially Concubine Wen——
Zhu Xianyue still remembers the pitiful look on Concubine Wen's face when she asked the original owner to tell her about Nan Tingye's movements even though she was clearly a concubine.
That's why Concubine Wen particularly disliked her.
In short, the road to the harem is difficult.
Zhu Xianyue is of low status and has no one to rely on.
At this moment, I can only pretend not to understand.
It doesn’t matter. It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
This "greeting" was over quickly.
There were not many concubines who were willing to talk to Zhu Xianyue in the first place, and after Concubine Wen's "commotion", everyone avoided Zhu Xianyue like the plague.
Concubine Liang, who clearly lived with Zhu Xianyue in Jingyang Palace, refused to go with her.
