The sky gradually darkened, but the Emperor still hadn't come. This made Liu Xue extremely excited. She told Yan to prepare a hot bath and then went to bed comfortably to prepare for tomorrow's battle.
?? After taking a shower and putting on his clothes, he was hungry. He should be hungry. He had not eaten for a long time.
?? "Yan."
?? "This servant is here."
?? "The third rule of the Yin Concubine Palace is that you are not allowed to call yourself a servant without an outsider.”
?? Liu Xue said expressionlessly. There was no distinction between noble and humble. If those concubines who claimed to be bengong did not rely on their family's wealth, would she still be able to call herself bengong?
?? Yan was touched and her tears flowed down.
?? "The fourth rule of the Yin Concubine Palace is that you are not allowed to cry before I bully you.”
?? What? Yan raised her tearful face in disbelief.
?? Receiving Yan's surprised gaze, Liu Xue smiled faintly and said,"Go and ask Xiaolan to bring some food. I'm hungry.”
?? "Yes, this servant…I will go now.”
?? Seeing Liu Xue's stern face, Yan quickly changed her words. Only then did Liu Xue's face relax.
?? "Tell the others that if anyone breaks the rules of the Yin Concubine Hall, they will be punished to listen to me play the zither in the zither room.”
?? It was fine if the rules were strange, but even the method of punishment was so strange?
?? Yan was curious, but she nodded respectfully. Liu Xue waved her hand and gestured for her to leave. Little Yan then left.
?? "What is it? Listen to her play the piano?"
?? Xiao Mei and Xiao Lan heard what Xiao Yan said and their faces turned pale.
?? "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
?? Xiao Yao looked at the two of them in surprise. In their impression, almost every young lady from an official family played the zither beautifully. Why did these two have such a big reaction?
?? "You want to know?"
?? Yan and the others nodded at the same time. Lan said helplessly,"Well…if you want to know, you can break the rules.”
?? Yan and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.
?? "Alright, I won't talk to you guys anymore. The Empress instructed me to get some food, so I'll be leaving first.”
?? "Go, don't let the Empress wait too long.”
Xiao Lan left the Yin Concubine Palace with a smile.
?? The next day, the Emperor did not stay in the Yin Concubine Hall last night, which caused a great uproar in the harem. Noble Concubine Li and the others were originally worried that the Emperor would favor Yin Concubine because of her arrival. They did not expect that the Emperor would not even stay in the Yin Concubine Hall on the wedding night. This made them feel relieved. It seemed that this Yin Concubine was not so good. In the future, as long as they used a little trick, they could get rid of her.
?? Liu Xue woke up very early for the second time because from today onwards, she had to focus all her energy on dealing with these concubines.
?? Concubines who had just entered the palace had to pay their respects to Imperial Concubine Li. Liu Xue really did not want to go, but she had no choice but to go.
?? When she stepped into the main hall of the Li Concubine Hall, the originally lively main hall instantly quieted down. Some concubines looked at the emperor's new consort with pitiful eyes, while others looked at her with disdain.
?? Liu Xue turned a blind eye to him. She stepped forward, bent her knees slightly, and called out sweetly,""Concubine Yin pays her respects to Elder Sister Noble Consort Li and Elder Sister Concubine Du Shu.”
?? "Get up."
Noble Yang, who was at the side, also bowed and greeted Liu Xue. Liu Xue was overjoyed. So there was someone younger than her.
?? Imperial Concubine Li said lightly. After seeing Liu Xue's face, she sighed and said,""Younger Sister is really beautiful. Look at this small face. If BenGong was a man, she would definitely dote on Younger Sister.”
?? Consort Du Shu and the others could not help but cover their faces and chuckle. Liu Xue was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She really wanted to rush up and slap her a few times. Her words were clearly praising her beauty, but secretly, she was mocking the fact that she stayed alone on her wedding night. She was trying to intimidate her on the first meeting.
?? He was angry, but he didn't want to flare up. He just took it as a compliment.
?? "Big Sister praises me too much. No matter how beautiful Little Sister is, she can't be more beautiful than you, Big Sister.”
?? Royal Concubine Li smiled but did not say anything.
?? "Sister, we are straightforward people and don't beat around the bush.”
?? "Just say what it is."
?? "I'm not interested in the empress and the emperor's…the emperor's love, so don't use any tricks on me. If people don't offend me, I won't offend them.”
?? Imperial Concubine Li was secretly shocked. She was also very suspicious of Liu Xue's words. Which woman who entered the palace did not want these two things?
?? "I wonder if Younger Sister's words are true?”
?? "When have I ever lied?"
?? "Younger Sister is truly a peculiar woman.”
?? "If you don't believe in my skills, you can give it a try. It's just that this place is small, and there are quite a lot of valuable items. Little sister is afraid that fighting will damage big sister's rare treasures, so we'll go out.”
?? Liu Xue said calmly. The expressions of the concubines present were filled with surprise and novelty.
?? Imperial Concubine Li walked in front, followed closely by Liu Xue. When they arrived at an open space, Imperial Concubine Li waved her hand and three or four eunuchs immediately came over and said,""Concubine Yin wants to compete with one of you in martial arts.”
?? The eunuchs looked at each other and quickly knelt down.""This servant wouldn't dare."
?? Liu Xue knew that those eunuchs didn't know martial arts. She smiled and said,""What's there to be afraid of? It won't hurt your life."
?? "This…the Empress is a daughter of a thousand gold, this servant wouldn't dare.”
?? "Bengong boasted that you might not be able to hurt Bengong.”
?? "Ah?"
?? The eunuchs were caught in a dilemma, so they had no choice but to go.
?? "It's just that there are too few people, less than ten.”
?? Liu Xue said to the eunuch standing behind her,""All of you, go ahead. There's no need to show mercy.”
?? Add more? Royal Concubine Li looked at Liu Xue's confident face in surprise. It seemed that she really could not be underestimated. However, she was only a brave but not resourceful person. It was easier to deal with such people.
?? Liu Xue walked to the center of the arena. The ten eunuchs were still standing there, not daring to move.
?? "You think you're catching an assassin now? Are you like this when you catch a real assassin?”
?? The eunuch had no choice but to surround Liu Xue. Liu Xue smiled and said,""That's right, you guys attack together, BenGong isn't afraid of you.”
?? "Empress, this servant has offended you."
?? "Don't worry, if anyone blames you because of this matter, BenGong will support you, but if you are punished by your own niangniang because you don't work hard enough or you lose, BenGong will be willing but unable to do so.”
?? Although he said that, his hands were not affected at all. He had not practiced for a long time and was a little rusty. It seemed that he needed to practice properly when he went home.
?? Imperial Concubine Li watched Liu Xue fight the eunuchs with ease in the crowd. Although she couldn't understand what kind of moves she used, she could tell from the eunuch's face that she was very powerful.
?? Shangguan Chen, who was reading memorials in the royal study, heard the eunuch report that Concubine Yin had fought with the eunuch in Imperial Concubine Li's palace. He couldn't help but feel angry. She had only entered the palace for less than two days, but she had caused a lot of trouble.
?? He immediately put down the unfinished memorial and walked towards Noble Consort Li's palace.
?? Liu Xue effortlessly strangled one eunuch after another. The fallen eunuchs struggled to get up and came back. However, they were lightly punched by Liu Xue and fell to the ground again.
?? "BenGong advise you not to get up again, you can't beat BenGong.”
?? Liu Xue waved her sleeves and calmly walked to Noble Consort Li and the others. The eunuchs fell to the ground and touched the places where they had been hit. They could not help but roll around, and their wails sounded one after another.
?? "All of you can leave."
?? " You've worked hard, sister," Imperial Concubine Li said lightly.”
?? "Elder sister, what little sister said today is not false at all. Whether you believe it or not, I don't care. I only have one purpose for showing this move today. Don't use your methods to fight for favor on me. I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first.”
?? She turned around and left elegantly.
?? Phew ~ It's so tiring. If it was in the past, this wouldn't be a big deal, but now it's not.
?? When Shangguan Chen arrived, Liu Xue was nowhere to be seen. He asked Noble Concubine Li and the others, but they all said they didn't know. Noble Concubine Li also told Shangguan Chen that Concubine Yin was fine. Shangguan Chen nodded and left, feeling that there was no need to stay any longer.
?? Looking at her back, Royal Concubine Li couldn't help but smile bitterly. In his heart, who was the one he valued the most?
?? Every day, one concubine would take turns to serve him, and he would not be biased towards any of them. However, if any of the concubines did something that he could tolerate, he would not be lenient in dealing with them.
?? Previously, there was a concubine who was particularly jealous. When Noble Consort Li had just been conferred the title of Noble Consort, she had poisoned her tea. After Shangguan Chen found out about it, he did not care about the old friendship at all and directly executed the concubine.
?? Imperial Concubine Li still couldn't figure out why she was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine. Was it just because his Amma was the prime minister?
?? However, the emperor did not look at her a few more times because of his noble consort. The emperor's thoughts were really hard to understand.
?? Liu Xue's next stop was the Empress Dowager's place to visit her. It was a virtue to respect the old and love the young.
?? Liu Xue looked at the dress that reached her feet and could not help but smile bitterly in her heart. How could she walk in such a long dress? Walking in such a dress was simply a waste of time, a waste of life, and a waste of life was equivalent to a crime.
?? She walked to a quiet hall with yellow tiles, red walls, and red doors. Liu Xue hesitated. Should she go?
?? It was better to go and take a look. The new daughter-in-law didn't even want to see her mother-in-law. It felt a little rude.
?? He took a step forward and walked in.
?? The interior was decorated elegantly. There was a small bridge and flowing water. There was a pavilion every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps. The four corners of the house were tilted upward. There was no lack of precious flowers inside. Unfortunately, they were swaying under the autumn wind and were completely lifeless.
?? Before Liu Xue stepped into Jingya Hall, someone had already informed the Empress Dowager that Consort Yin had arrived. Thus, when Liu Xue walked into the hall, the Empress Dowager was already waiting there.
