The news of Lu Huiling becoming a concubine spread throughout the harem, and everyone was secretly talking about how the former female official of the Qinzheng Palace became the harem's most famous concubine overnight.

When people are jealous, the words they say are extremely unpleasant. Many people say that she is charming the king, and some people say that she is like a pheasant and a phoenix, and wants to become the master of the harem.

When everyone was saying that she was shameless and only wanted to climb up, they forgot that her original identity was also above everyone in the harem.

Not to mention anything else, just her status as the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Palace is enough to overwhelm most people in the harem.

Not to mention that the harem is a place of right and wrong. Even if she is a maid serving in Minghua Hall, she secretly sighs in her heart: Lu Huiling is so shameless. The emperor is her uncle, and Empress Mingxian is the emperor's only first wife.

Two nephews serve the same father together. What was she, Lu Huiling, thinking, so disregarding ethics and morals?

"I'm afraid the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion is crazy to marry the emperor at such a good time." Chang Tong, the maid of Minghua Hall, secretly felt sorry for Lu Huiling while cleaning, but there was a hint of jealousy in her words.

They were still unconvinced. It turned out that they were all female officials in the palace. No matter what status they had outside the palace and how they came into the palace, they were all serving as servants in the palace. Most of the maids assigned by the emperor were

They all served in the Qinzheng Hall of Qianning Palace.

The palace maid who used to work together has now become the head of the first palace, but she is still a servant. She feels unbalanced.

"What are you talking about?" Chang Dan, another palace maid, felt worried for her after hearing this. No one knows the temper of Concubine Ming. If she has a cruel temper, their slanderous servants will not be allowed to peel off their skin.

?What's more, now that Concubine Ming is deeply favored by the emperor, it's better to be careful.

Chang Dan took a sneak peek into the main hall of Minghua Hall and saw through the hazy screen window that Concubine Ming was sitting on the throne with her eyes closed and resting. Aunt Xulan was also standing by to wait on her. She probably didn't pay attention to their conversation.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"No matter how she is, she is still the eldest lady of the prime minister's palace. How can she be willing to serve others in the palace." Chang Dan secretly said to Chang Tong, "The emperor is still the emperor after all, and he is in charge of the world. After becoming the emperor, as long as he deeply

To be pampered is not to get whatever you want."

"How did the emperor fall in love with her? After all, she is still his niece. According to the old aunt who was in the palace before, the current Empress Ming and Empress Mingxian look exactly the same." Chang Tong clicked his tongue in surprise.

said.

"After all, she is an aunt and nephew, so there will always be some similarities." Chang Dan said, "Perhaps she took advantage of this to become the emperor's concubine."

"Hey...if it were me, I would not want to be the concubine of the old emperor even if there was incredible wealth and honor for me. What are you trying to do? Use your good years to exchange for glory and wealth, but in a few years the emperor...well..." Chang Tong's

Her mouth was covered by Chang Dan, and she pushed Chang Dan away, "What are you doing!"

"Don't you have a long memory?" Chang Dan looked around and sighed softly when he saw no one was around, "This is in the palace! Who are you talking about? You don't have your head anymore?"

That is to say, Chang Dan is so kind-hearted that he controls Chang Tong. Chang Tong has been punished by his aunt several times for telling the truth, but he still doesn't have a long memory.

Chang Tong curled his lips and whispered: "I'm not wrong."

"Let's get to work." Seeing that no one heard their conversation, Chang Dan didn't want to have too many arguments with Chang Dan on this matter.

They all thought that today, when Minghuatang takes over and everyone is busy, no one will deliberately listen to their lowered voices. Even if they hear it, they should come out and scold them. Who is an errand in the palace?

Who are you trying to embarrass when you have no grievances and no benefits at all?

But their conversation as if no one was watching was clearly heard by Lu Huiling, who was sitting in the main hall of Minghua Hall.

Lu Huiling was deeply embedded in her flesh by Aunt Xulan's nails that were dyed red with Dankou. These picky words came into her mind and could not be dissipated. She hated it so much that her nails cut her palms and blood stained her nails.

More red.

She slowly opened her palms and bent her fingers to examine her blood-stained nails. She murmured: "The nails stained red by blood really look better than those dyed by Danko."

Aunt Xulan, who was waiting behind her, was startled by her words. Aunt Xulan was old and was concentrating on serving Concubine Ming.

She didn't pay attention to the quarrels between the two little girls outside the main hall wall, but suddenly she heard Concubine Ming say such terrible words while looking at her fingernails, and her palms were bleeding from the nails, and she couldn't help but feel chilled in her heart.

"Ming Fei, your hand..." Aunt Xu Lan carefully touched her hand so that she could quickly treat the wound.

Now Lu Huiling is not the female official who endured the pain while on duty at the Qinzheng Palace despite her foot injury. Now she is a hot concubine in the palace, and a single hair loss can cost the lives of everyone.

Lu Huiling avoided Aunt Xu Lan's hand, stood up and walked to the bedroom. She needed to rest, she was too tired.

Aunt Xulan's hand stopped awkwardly in the air. When she saw Concubine Ming leaving, she hurriedly followed her, but she did not dare to speak any more.

Xu Lan was an old man who served in the palace. She had served the Empress Dowager before, and then worked as a personal maid for Empress Mingxian in Qianning Palace. Previously, she had not left the palace to get married when she reached a certain age, but she still stayed there after the empress died.

Qianning Palace was cleaned regularly. After Lu Huiling became a concubine, he sent her to Minghua Hall to be the aunt of the palace maid.

The more she looked at Concubine Ming, the more she felt like Empress Mingxian, not just in looks...

In the eyes of outsiders, Empress Mingxian was gentle and generous. In fact, she was very violent in the days before her death. Today's Empress Mingxian seems to be a bit like her.

Just now I saw the look in Concubine Ming's eyes when she said those words, and Aunt Xulan couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. She looked so much like Empress Mingxian.

Lu Huiling walked out of the main hall of Minghua Hall. When she saw Chang Tong and Chang Dan, who was pruning branches in the front yard, she quickly knelt down and saluted: "Ming Fei, may you be blessed and safe."

Lu Huiling stopped and turned to look at them with indifferent eyes.

Chang Tong and Chang Dan couldn't help but lower their heads with guilt because they had said bad things about Lu Huiling. Seeing Lu Huiling's embroidered brocade shoes getting closer and closer, they shrank back and said in fear: "Mother."

Lu Huiling walked to and stopped in front of them. Aunt Xulan followed behind her, not knowing what was going on.

Lu Huiling slowly knelt down and looked at their faces carefully. There was an unpredictable smile on their faces.

She laughed softly and said: "Some people become dragons and phoenixes as soon as they are born. You can't blame anyone for their birth, but when you are in a lower position, don't speculate on the thoughts of the people above you. You are not me, no matter how hard you try, you will not

It is destined to become this palace!"

After Chang Tong and Chang Dan heard this, their faces turned pale. They didn't expect that Concubine Ming heard what they just said. They knelt on the spot and did not dare to move. Their bodies were as stiff as iron. It was the crisp autumn season, eh.

There were fine beads of sweat oozing out from between.

Lu Huiling stood up and looked straight ahead without any emotion in her eyes. She coldly ordered Aunt Xu Lan: "I don't like these two maids."

Then he raised his hand to look at his nails against the sunlight, and said as if unintentionally: "The nails dyed by Danko are not red at all."

Aunt Xu Lan is a perceptive person. She immediately understood the meaning of what Concubine Ming said just now. She quickly called two tall and thin eunuchs and said to them: "Chang Tong and Chang Dan have committed crimes and contradicted Concubine Ming.

Both of them will be handed over to the Department of Punishment and executed with a stick!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the two eunuchs dragged Chang Tong and Chang Dan to the Shenxing Department.

"Your Majesty, please spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life, I will never dare to do this again."

The cry attracted the palace servants waiting in Minghua Hall. They saw Chang Tong and Chang Dan being dragged to the Criminal Punishment Department with their own eyes, and they couldn't help but feel frightened.
