Chengxi Palace.

"Sister, you've heard about it too. The Hu Meizi brought back from the emperor's incognito tour, I heard that he was fascinated by the emperor. The first day he saw the emperor, he spent the night in the emperor's holy car. He didn't know it. Shame, I don’t know what kind of background it is. We fell out of favor because we are petty, don’t call it tarnishing the royal blood, let the world see it as a joke. Sister, you are now in charge of the harem, under one person, above ten thousand, this matter You must be careful! The whole harem is watching you! Could it be that a lowly person has taken away your majesty." In the side hall, a beautiful woman in brocade clothes faced Niu Hulu who was sitting on the couch. Concubine Jing Dongzhu spoke angrily, it was Concubine Duan, she turned her back and continued, "Sister, those beautiful girls left behind in this election still look at my sister! It would be worse if that bitch sealed the title casually." They are tall, and they don't know what to do! Which one of their backs is not connected to the outside."

Concubine Jing Dongzhu leaned quietly on the soft couch, her face was a little tired but she still had an extraordinary bearing, her precious face was solemn, and a faint halo appeared on her body when the faint sunlight shone on her.

She listened to Concubine Duan's nagging complaints, and didn't say a word. After she uttered the last word, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "My sister's kindness, I appreciate my sister's kindness. Whether it's majestic or not, it's just a false name. The emperor loves it." She must have something lovable about her, and it would be good if she can share the emperor's worries. If she doesn't know the rules, you can teach her as a sister, and those who don't talk are sluts, foxes, and let people who don't know how to listen Going to pay back my sister, you are jealous, which greatly violates the virtuous virtue of women. There is no need to mention this matter again. On the contrary, the show girl who is willing to be selected is still living in Zhongcui Palace. I have been in a bad mood these days, and you are also in the palace The old man, please go and appease them for me."

Concubine Duan couldn't help smiling when she heard this, and immediately turned her head, thinking how to establish her prestige in front of those beautiful women who have just entered the palace, and by the way, see if there are any powerful enemies to beware of.Concubine Jing is the acting queen, and I am Concubine Jing, so if I push myself like this, I am not equal to the queen?What a majesty!
So he hurriedly thanked her, and left on tiptoe, the poor woman who worked in Zhongcui Palace was about to be sacked by this boss first.

Watching Concubine Duan walk away, Yun Rong, the personal maid beside Concubine Jing Dongzhu, immediately opened her mouth and said with a smile: "Master, that Concubine Duan is really stupid, no wonder she wants to seek refuge with you, Empress, or with her aggressive personality, Her concubine has long been unable to be."

Concubine Jing sneered: "You said she was stupid? Then you were sold by her and counted the money for her! Which one of the words she said earlier was not encouraging me to stroke the emperor's scales? Which sentence did not mean something? Not leaking doesn't necessarily mean being reticent and pretending to be shrewd, hum, the less people will make her an enemy if she does that, and if everyone thinks she is stupid and shallow, no one will take her seriously. If it’s like you, watch it, you won’t know when you die in the end!”

Yun Rong trembled, and said in surprise: "Master, do you mean that she pretended it on purpose?"

"Yun Rong, remember that none of the women in the harem are simple. If there are any simple women, they are either dead or refined."

"In this case, master, why did you let her go to Zhongcui Palace for you?" Yun Rong asked puzzled.

Concubine Jing gently blew the tea in the cup: "Didn't she want to pretend? Then let her pretend. Someone should set rules for the new ladies. I don't want to stand out, naturally If someone wants to stand out, if she meets a few lucky ones, she will surely come up one day, so what's wrong with letting her make a few more future enemies?"

Yun Rong laughed and said, "Master Shengming."

Concubine Jing drank her saliva and asked slowly: "But the woman brought into the palace by the emperor has to be on guard, have you found out, what is her identity?"

Yun Rong nodded: "Returning to the master, the news from the Palace of Compassion and Peace is that the mighty daughter of the guards participated in the leadership, and I heard that she is also the former beautiful girl who was dismissed this time."

Concubine Jing smelled the fragrance of tea, and nodded slightly: "Not bad, not bad, very interesting." But she didn't know if it meant the fragrance of tea or people.
