Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 37
"Sister, you have to seize the opportunity. Sister, I hope that you will be lucky enough to add a man and a woman to the emperor!" the imperial concubine said.

"I don't dare!" Xinyi didn't know what to say.

However, she also understands that the imperial concubine is eager to have no children. Could it be that she wins her over for the sake of the children?

However, even a stunning beauty like Concubine Zhen didn't have that chance, so what about herself?What's more, what's more--

"Those female officials who are in charge of the bedroom will not teach you well, but as far as I know, sister, you are a very sacred heart!" The imperial concubine pulled Xinyi to sit down, staring at her with beautiful eyes, "I heard You were still in Ganlu Palace last night? Even I have not been to that place a few times, sister, you are really blessed!"

Seeing the imperial concubine's smile, Xinyi couldn't help feeling numb all over.

Concubine Zhen looked her up and down, Xinyi felt uncomfortable.

"The night before yesterday," Concubine Zhen said suddenly, and Xinyi stared at her in surprise.

"The emperor summoned me very late and asked me to go to bed." Zhen Guifei said, but her eyes were fixed on Xinyi, "I don't know what he did that night——I heard that the original In the evening, you are the only one serving."

What Zhen Guifei said, Xinyi didn't expect it at all.

"You, how could you—" Zhen Guifei didn't explain clearly, but Xinyi already understood what she meant.

It's only been a few days since I took office, but there are so many incidents, how can I not make Xinyi nervous?
She couldn't guess what Ming Xuanyu was thinking.

What Concubine Zhen said was not all the truth, Xinyi herself could tell so many lies, let alone Concubine Zhen!
Xinyi smiled slightly and replied: "Your Majesty, you are overthinking! This servant is only grinding ink and sorting out documents for the emperor. Although these are all trivial things, because this servant has never done it before, it may not be in line with the holy will." The emperor is displeased because the slaves are too clumsy, as for other things, the empress should not think too much! The slaves have not been in the palace for a long time, but they also know the difference between superiority and inferiority."

"After all, Xinyi is just a servant who serves the master, and she dare not think too much about him, so please rest assured, Madam!" Xinyi said with a bow.

Zhen Guifei stared at her, thinking about her answer, but remained silent.

Xinyi rolled up her sleeves and showed the crimson seal of palace sand on her right arm. Concubine Zhen and Chen Shanggong both opened their mouths in surprise.

"Your servant knows her duty, and she has no desire to compete for favor!" Xinyi put down her sleeves and said.

Concubine Zhen said with a smile: "Look at what you said, sister, if you are favored by the emperor, I will be really happy for you!"

As he spoke, he stood up and took Xinyi's hand, and said, "You're out of touch with me when you say that, as if I'm too narrow-minded to tolerate others!"

"Your Majesty, the maidservant definitely didn't mean that! The maidservant deserves to die!" Xinyi said hastily.

"That's all," Concubine Zhen said with a smile, "What I said just now is just because you are an honest person, and I wouldn't say it to anyone else."

"Once I recognize you, I won't give up! Zhuang Xinyi, you can remember!" Concubine Zhen stared at Xinyi's face and said seriously, "If you want to gain a foothold in this palace, you need to find a backer. This palace may not It is your only choice, but it is the only one that can save you! You are a smart person, go back and think about it!"

Xinyi salutes and leaves.

After she left, Concubine Zhen leaned on the concubine's couch with the hand stove in her arms.

"Niangniang, this girl is not an ordinary person!" Chen Shanggong said.

"You see it too?"

"It looks timid and humble on the surface, but there is a sense of arrogance in the bones." Chen Shanggong nodded and replied.

"Speaking of it is also very decent! No leaks!" Zhen Guifei said, "If you say that she has no one to teach behind her back, even a fool would not believe it!"

"What your empress said is true!" Chen Shanggong put the brocade quilt on Concubine Zhen's lap.

"It's just that," Concubine Zhen fell into deep thought, "what's going on with the emperor? It's only been a few days since Lan Zhen died, why did she fall in love with Zhuang Xinyi so quickly? Or did Zhuang Xinyi use some means?"

She looked at Chen Shanggong.

"Slaves can't figure it out either!" Chen Shanggong said, "Although the emperor has not given Lan Zhen a title these years, anyone can see their friendship. What's more, Lan Zhen has been with the emperor for so many years. How can the emperor's thoughts be compared with others? However, it is said that the emperor's kindness is as thin as paper, and the emperor may not have used all his heart for Lan Zhen!"

Zhen Guifei nodded.

"Zhuang Xinyi was handpicked by the emperor. If they hadn't known each other a long time ago, or had a relationship, how could the emperor choose her? Regardless of seniority or rank, how does Zhuang Xinyi compare with others?" Chen Shanggong She continued, "Although I don't know how Zhuang Xinyihe won the emperor's favor, but this slave feels that she is not as honest as we have seen!"

Concubine Zhen sneered, and said: "I have met an opponent! If she can't be used by me, why should I keep her?"

Chen Shanggong asked: "Your Majesty, what do you mean—"

"Let's see how she responds!" Concubine Zhen replied, "One's own destiny is always in her own hands. I have already pointed out the way for her. If she chooses wrong, she can only blame her for dying! "

"But how will Lafayette deal with it? I heard that Tan Shanggong took her to Xiyuan!"

"Can Lafayette still control everything?" Concubine Zhen said, "If Zhuang Xinyi really can't even save her own life, what is Zhuang Xinyi worth to Lafayette?"

"Worthless pawns are just discarded pieces!" Concubine Zhen said, "Even if the enemy doesn't do anything, her own master will get rid of her!"

Chen Shanggong nodded and said: "This servant knows how to do it!"

"Be careful, I don't want others to stare at me!" Zhen Guifei said.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant understands!"

As soon as Xinyi walked out of the main hall of Chengqian Palace, she ran into a group of maids carrying various dishes to the side hall. Xinyi guessed that it might be the candies prepared years ago, but she just walked sideways.

Unexpectedly, she saw a familiar figure in that group of court ladies, and that person also looked back at her, and both of them pretended to turn their faces away casually.

Xinyi can't forget that she was a girl who was trained at Nian Gonggong's house with her and then entered the palace together.

It turns out that she is in Chengqian Palace!What about the others?

But that's fine, if something happens, we can still take care of each other.

Thinking of this, Xinyi took out a box of Yuyan cream that the imperial concubine had just given her from her sleeve, smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, stuffed it back into the sleeve, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

Sure enough, as she expected, Ming Xuanyu did not announce her to serve him close to her today.

Later, according to Zhang De, when she was away for a day, the emperor didn't say anything, as if she had never appeared.

It turns out that this is the so-called "Jun's kindness is as thin as paper"!
Xinyi couldn't help smiling wryly in her heart, laughing at her own stupidity.

Who is he?Even though the power in the court is controlled by the prime minister, Ming Xuanyu is still the emperor of the dynasty and the father of the common people.

What are you?It's just a puppet who lost his family and was ordered by others!

How can a puppet have its own emotions?

She let out a long sigh, and two lines of clear tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, falling into the cold wind.

At night, the maids Qiao'er and Lian'er took care of her to take a bath and rest.

However, Qiaoer saw the delicate little box Xinyi put on the table, and asked curiously: "My lord, what is this? This little box looks so tight!"

Xinyi glanced at it and said, "That's the jade face ointment that the imperial concubine gave me, I haven't used it yet!"

"It's so fragrant!" Lian'er sighed, "The imperial concubine used this treasure! No wonder it's so beautiful!"

"Do you like it?" Xinyi said, "If you two like it, you can use it! Anyway, I don't need these!"

"However, this is a reward from the empress, sir, you gave it to us, isn't it good!" Qiao'er said.

"I wasted this treasure if I didn't use it. Wouldn't I be more sorry for your mother's grace by then? In this world, everything is destined for someone. Since you like it, it means that you are destined for it. Then Take it and use it!" Xinyi said, and the two little maids hurriedly thanked her.

Xinyi said again: "It's just one thing, you can't say it's a gift from your empress!"

The two took orders and said: "My lord, don't worry, the slaves are not that kind of people!"

Xinyi didn't say anything, just smiled lightly.

In the next few days, it was very peaceful, and Xinyi also worked step by step.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the palace has distributed annual money and made new clothes to the palace people. Everyone, especially the low-ranking palace people, is very happy.

But she didn't know that she had been to Chengqian Palace that time, somehow it reached Ming Xuanyu's ears, and he severely criticized her.

"Have you ever listened to what I said?" He said angrily, "Is it your place to go to the harem? What are you going to do in Chengqian Palace if you have nothing to do? Do you still want to find yourself a master?"

The door of Dongnuange was closed tightly, Zhang De and others were in the main hall outside, they couldn't hear what was being said inside, they heard the emperor's voice very loudly, it seemed that he was angry!
Xinyi knelt in front of him, wanting to defend herself, but didn't know what to say, so she could only look up at him.

"In your eyes, is there still an emperor like me? Don't think that since I dote on you, you can do whatever you want!"

He was so angry that he stood in front of the desk with his hands on the table, but he didn't realize that he had said too much until the words came out of his mouth.

His words almost made her paralyze on the ground.

After taking a deep breath, she responded slowly: "I beg your majesty to forgive me, this slave knows her duty! However, a slave is always a slave. How can a slave not go when the imperial concubine summons her?"

"Your Majesty said this to the servants, and the servants will not obey even if they die!"

After all, he kowtowed heavily.

"I warned you not to go to the harem, don't you remember?" He turned and stared at her, "I told you not to wear this hat again, don't you remember?"

She almost cried, wondering if his original intention was for her good, but she was not ignorant of the dangers of the harem, as for the other thing——

"Slaves are not ignorant of propriety, and the only reason to pay respects to the imperial concubine is because she is the master of the slaves—"

"Zhuang Xinyi," he lifted her chin and stared at her face, "Remember, your master is only me!"

The glint of darkness in his eyes made her shudder.

"If you dare to forget what I said, you will never forgive me lightly!" He threw her away.

She hurriedly knelt down and said: "Slave, servant, write it down!"

"This is the last time, I will never say it again!" he said, "Get out!"

She bowed her head and stood up, looking up at him, but he turned his back.

When she opened the door and went out, he let out a long sigh.

Outside the hall, Zhang De and others surrounded her, but she just shook her head and walked out.

Pet?He said so, but she didn't know what the truth was!

He regretted how he would say that, and closed his eyes.

Xinyi didn't dare to wear that hat anymore, so she tied up her hair and pinned it with a beaded jade hairpin.

The salary has not been received yet, the money that Eunuch Nian gave her is only for socializing, she has no jewelry at all, this hairpin was given to her by Mr. Wuchen when she left the valley.

When he saw Ming Xuanyu the next day, he didn't mean to be angry with her anymore, but just looked at her with a strange expression.
