When Ruyi heard the voice, she looked and saw a thin beauty wearing a pink cloud-patterned narrow-sleeved gauze skirt. She had a pretty face, a pointed chin, and a slender waist. She was looking up at her with a flattering smile on her face.

"Who are you?" Ruyi was a little face-blind and only knew that she was probably one of the new concubines entering the palace.

"I am Xiu Yingying. Chuxiu Palace does not have a queen, and Sister Shu Guiren seems difficult to get along with. I think I get along well with the imperial concubine, so I came to pay my respects."

Xiu agreed to say this while standing at the gate of Changchun Palace, which shows that he was not smart.

Ruyi was disdainful of playing coy with such an unknown person, so she rubbed her temple and said, "Xiu Da Dan, the weather is already cold, and you are still wearing such thin clothes, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Xiu agreed, her lips slightly stiffened, "My concubine..."

"My green plum has not yet opened, what's there to see? Xiu promised to change a better excuse next time."

After saying that, Ruyi didn't care how ugly Xiu Da Ying's expression was, and she got into the sedan chair without even looking at Xiu Da Ying again.

Back then, when Bai Ruiji had just gained favor with the emperor, she invited Ruyi to appreciate the plum blossoms with her at the gate of Changchun Palace.

At that time, Ruyi knew that Bai Ruiji was the Queen Mother's person, so she did not refuse.

Now Xiu agreed and wanted to use the same trick and use her as a springboard to win favor, but Ruyi was too lazy to indulge her.

As a high-ranking concubine, Ruyi has the confidence to refuse so arbitrarily.

Ruyi was secretly happy. She sat upright on the high sedan chair and swayed away with the rhythm of the sedan chair.

Xiu Da Ying twisted the handkerchief with her slender fingers, but bowed respectfully in the direction where Ruyi left.

"My dear, Concubine Xian is going too far. You are the legitimate daughter of the Cavalry General's Mansion after all.

Our master is a third-rank official, higher than her father who is a third-rank official.

The Ulanara clan has long been in decline, and she has the audacity to ignore you like this, which is really too much."

Hongdou, the maid Xiu agreed to, whispered indignantly in her ear.

Xiu agreed with a look of disdain, "I just think Concubine Xian is interesting.

I heard that she and the emperor were childhood sweethearts, and all she talked about all day long was her friendship with the emperor.

Such a person, you see she climbed to the position of imperial concubine and gave birth to a son, but her father's official position is still so low. I think she is just a waste who can't fight for the interests of the family. "

Xiu promised to cover the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, suppressing her arrogant and silent smile.

"My master is wise. My master entered the palace to help his family advance to a higher level. Concubine Xian, who doesn't know how to compete, can't compare to my master."

Hongdou praised Xiu Da Ying, her eyes full of sincerity and admiration.

"According to this servant, Concubine Xian is not tactful, so there is no need for the master to stick to her.

As a woman who has given birth to a child, her body must be very ugly. The emperor would probably be disgusted if he saw her.

How can it compare to the master's delicate skin and body as soft as boneless? I can't stop looking at it.

When the master goes to bed with you, the emperor will surely be unable to stop lusting after you and will show him great love and affection.”

There is some truth in what Hongdou said.

What Xiu Da Ying is most proud of is her fair and translucent skin and her slender waist that can be held in one hand.

"Little girl, you are so sweet." Xiu Da Ying thought of the stunning encounter with the emperor during the palace selection, and a rosy smile spread across her face.

"Since I have entered the palace, I must fight for favor. It's a pity that my status at home was so high, but I was only given a concubine after entering the palace.

When I am made a concubine or a noble concubine in the future, I will see if this Ulanara family still dares to ignore me."

Xiu agreed to speak in a very low voice, but Shu Guiren who was behind her still heard it.

Shu Guiren, with a cold and indifferent look, walked up from behind Xiu Da Ying.

Xiu Da Ying felt a little embarrassed and was about to explain something, but Shu Guiren didn't even bother to look at her and just walked away.

Shu Guiren was the daughter of a minister of the second rank, and she was also the concubine with the most noble birth and the highest family background who entered the palace this time.

Although Xiu Da Ying was somewhat indignant, she was still afraid and did not dare to say anything. She twisted her waist and followed Shu Guiren towards Chuxiu Palace.

According to convention, new concubines entering the palace would be arranged to sleep with the emperor as soon as possible.

Sure enough, that night the sound of Fengluan Chun'en's carriage reached the gate of Chuxiu Palace.

Shu Guiren was beautiful and had a good family background. It was normal for her to be the first to receive the favor.

But since the first night, Shu Guiren somehow angered the emperor.

In the following months, the emperor looked through the name cards of other concubines who had newly entered the palace, but never thought of Shu Guiren again.

That day, Su Lujun brought Chen Wanyin to Ruyi to chat. They happened to meet Hailan there.

Ruyi and Su Lujun sat on either side of the couch, while Hailan and Chen Wanyin sat at the edge of the round table.

A few people were cracking melon seeds and chatting about gossip, looking very happy.

"Do you know how Concubine Shu angered the Emperor?" As more people gathered, Su Lujun couldn't help but talk about some gossip.

"How?" Hai Lan asked curiously.

"It seems that Concubine Shu's maternal family is from the Yehenara clan. It can't be because of this reason." Ruyi raised her eyebrows slightly and said uncertainly.

Su Lujun nodded slightly, confirming Ruyi's guess.

"Your Majesty is smart, I think this is the reason. I have heard rumors that the Yehenara clan was destroyed by Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing Dynasty.

Before his death, Jin Taiji, the leader of the Yehenara clan, was filled with grief and anger, and had made a vow: Even if there was only one woman left in the Yehenara clan, he would destroy the Aixinjueluo clan.

Chen Wanyin frowned slightly and said reluctantly, "But I think that these rumors are just rumors and cannot be fully believed.

The Yehenara clan had long since surrendered to the Qing dynasty, and Shu Guiren's father had been a minister for many years and had never made any mistakes.

How can we blame the mistakes made by our ancestors on an innocent woman? "

"What Chang Wan said makes sense." Ruyi nodded and looked at Chen Wanyin with appreciation.

"From ancient times to the present, how many women have been trapped in their boudoirs with no way out.

But whenever the men in the family make mistakes, these innocent women are always implicated. This is really ridiculous."

Talking about these, Ruyi's mood couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

In this life, the Emperor did not know that Concubine Shu was a lady from a distinguished family who was carefully selected by the Empress Dowager.

Therefore, there was no need to pretend to favor her on the surface for the sake of the Queen Mother, while secretly giving her contraceptive pills.

If Concubine Shu could use this opportunity to see the emperor's character and behavior more clearly, it might be a good thing.

Ruyi took the wet towel handed to her by惢心, washed her hands, thought silently for a while, and said, "It's just that the emperor's intentions are not something we can speculate on.

It would be bad if I angered the emperor or gave others a chance to talk about me.

Alas, it is already difficult for women to survive in the world, so we should just be kinder to Concubine Shu in the future.

Those rumors have spread outside of Yikun Palace, so don’t mention them again.”

"Yes, thank you for your advice, Your Majesty." The three people on the side nodded in agreement.
