Breakfast was over. He wanted to pay his respects to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. On the way, she met Concubine Tong. Concubine Tong changed her attitude towards Xiyan in Kun Ning Palace and warmly greeted Xiyan," Sister, come to my palace more often after you enter the palace." If you have anything in the future, you must tell your sister. We are a family. "After saying that, he prepared to take Xiyan's hand and go to the Kun Ning Palace to pay his respects.
Xiyan had long known that Concubine Tong was a two-faced person. The Emperor had been resting in her palace the day before yesterday, and Concubine Tong had directly scolded her as a vixen in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. Now, she had become closer to her. The so-called traitor or thief was this kind of person. She had to deal with him carefully. He couldn't let others harm him without knowing.
He quietly dodged her hand that was holding his. "Thank you for your concern, sister." It would be better for his sister to pay her respects to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility first.”After saying that, she left first. Concubine Tong, who was behind her, watched her leave and gritted her teeth. His face was extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth and said to the palace maid beside her,"Little slut, one day I'll make her pay." If she falls into my hands, I'll make her beg for death.”
When the little palace maid heard her words and saw her vicious expression, she couldn't help but shiver. The most vicious woman's heart was this kind of person. Although Concubine Tong was usually arrogant. However, most people thought that she did not have any bad intentions. Only the palace maids around her knew how vicious she was. In the past, there was a little palace maid in her palace who was tortured to death by her because she said something to Fu Lin. He saw a lively woman being tortured into a dying woman whose eyes had been pierced.
Thinking of this, the palace maid couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Lady Dong E. After offending Concubine Tong, even if the new master was favored by the Emperor now, it would only be for a while. If she could not be favored by the Emperor, she would be a plaything in Concubine Tong's hands.
Entering the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, Xiyan saw that most of the concubines had already arrived. There were Concubine Shu, Concubine Gongqing, Concubine Zhen, and many other concubines she had never seen before. When she entered, everyone's eyes fell on her. There was envy. Jealousy, resentment, schadenfreude, and indifference.
Although he had already thought of dealing with everything, when he saw such a gaze. She was still very disappointed. The woman who became the emperor had to share her husband with so many women. How could she accept this? The soul of a modern person could accept such pain. She wasn't a woman from this place. The women here were all accepted by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Women regard their husbands as heaven. Her husband was her everything. Women were just dependent on men.
Therefore, no matter what position you sat in, you were just a man's dependent, a parasite. She could not have the same status as a man. For example, this time, because of Bogor's death, she had entered the palace to become a concubine. Everyone would only scold her for seducing the emperor, but no one dared to question the emperor.
This was the difference. Moreover, she was a woman without any power or influence. She did not have a prominent family behind her. Therefore, her status in the palace could be said to be the lowest. Without Shunzhi's favor, she would definitely die of old age in the palace. The thought of living such a long life every day…Her heart ached.
When all the concubines had entered the palace, Xiyan found that Concubine Tong had not arrived yet. Wasn't he already behind her? Why wasn't she here yet? She looked outside curiously. Concubine Tong was nowhere to be seen. There was no one in the palace. Seeing her strange expression, Consort Gong Qing couldn't help but ask curiously,"Is little sister looking at someone?"”Xiyan just smiled noncommittally. A bad feeling rose in her heart.
At this moment, the Empress saw that all the concubines had arrived and was about to let them begin paying their respects, but she realized that Concubine Tong had not arrived yet. She smiled and said," Sisters, haven't you seen Concubine Tong? Why isn't she here yet?"”Xiyan hesitated and decided to tell the truth." Empress, ChenQie saw Concubine Tong on the way here. However, for some reason, she had not appeared yet.”
The Empress only smiled and did not say anything. She only smiled faintly and said," In that case, perhaps we were delayed on the way. Why don't you sisters begin to pay your respects?"”As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Tong's sharp voice sounded from outside the door. You're relying on the emperor's favor to play tricks on me. Please give me proof of this matter. Let everyone judge if she's trying to frame me by doing this.”
All the concubines were shocked. His gaze swept over Xiyan and Concubine Tong. Xiyan, who had never encountered such a thing, looked at Concubine Tong who had rushed into the palace in a hurry. She just didn't want to drink with her just now. How could she frame him?
She felt a little wronged and said," Sister Tong, why are you doing this? Xiyan has already told her sister that she wants to go first." Why was her elder sister still making things difficult for her younger sister?”"Humph. Bah. Don't make it sound so nice. I won't fall for your tricks again. Today, you and I were supposed to pay our respects to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, but who knew that you would suddenly tell me? She didn't rest well last night. That's why I have to tell you and the Empress. He couldn't come to pay his respects. But now, he had gone to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility to pay his respects. Aren't you hitting my mouth?"
Xiyan looked at Concubine Tong with wide eyes. How could this person lie without a draft? She was lying through her teeth. When had she ever said such things to her? She knew that the emperor had been resting in her palace recently. How could he say such a thing? Wasn't this pushing her to the forefront?
Xiyan, who had never lived in such an environment of mutual deception, felt very tired and did not know how to deal with it. She opened her mouth to explain, but no sound came out. Because all the concubines in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility looked at her with disdain and anger, they all regarded her as an enemy. She had become everyone's public enemy. The public enemy of the entire harem. Everyone hated her for stealing the emperor's favor, so that the concubines in the palace couldn't have a share.
The Empress watched the fight between Xiyan and Concubine Tong with great interest. She was happy to see such a situation. In a battle between concubines, one would definitely be injured, and the one who benefited was her Empress. She saw Concubine Tong aggressively facing Concubine Dong and Concubine Xiyan. Erxi Yan looked at the crowd with teary eyes. The other concubines were also gloating and laughing.
Although he felt very carefree, after all, this Fujin who had married before was actually doted on by the Emperor. This made them extremely furious. Moreover, it was deeply rooted in the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. When a woman marries her husband, the thought of treating her husband as her god was deeply rooted. Now, she saw that Xiyan had a husband but was still in a relationship with the emperor. Everyone felt ashamed to have such a complicated relationship. Even Consort Dan, who usually did not ask much in the palace, could not help but look at Xiyan with a mocking smile.
Looking at the disdain and contempt on the faces of all the concubines, Xiyan felt dizzy. She didn't know how to face it. She could only hold her chest and force herself to calm down." Concubine Tong, you can't slander me." When did I say that? Today, you are the one who wants to drag me to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. I just wanted to leave first. You can't harm me like this."
His mind was racing. She knew that everyone hated her because she had occupied the emperor's favor. Little did they know that the emperor's favor was also a double-edged sword. It can bring you glory and wealth. It could also bring disaster. Now, everyone was certain that he had stolen the Emperor's Love. They all started to target her goose. What would happen to her life in the harem in the future?
