Concubine Mei sat on the couch and watched with interest Lu Huiling's expression after hearing Concubine An's words.

Surprisingly, Lu Huiling didn't seem to be afraid of Concubine An Gui's doubts, and her face was as calm as water without any waves.

Lu Huiling just lowered her head and smiled: "This lady is too busy with things."

Hearing what Concubine Ming said, all the concubines looked at each other. After all, Concubine An Gui was still an old man in the palace. Although Concubine Ming was the chief of the fourth concubine and had a higher status than everyone else, it seemed inappropriate to say so.

Lu Huiling first came to the palace. In the past, she had only met Concubine An Gui a few times when attending palace banquets. Most of the time she had talked to Concubine Mei. Lu Huiling did not know the status of Concubine An Gui or the other concubines.

Well, I just heard Aunt Xulan say today that she has the highest status in the palace, second only to the newly promoted Concubine Mei, so she doesn't need to be too polite with these concubines.

Concubine An Gui knew that her status was inferior to that of Lu Huiling, but she couldn't get angry when she said something like that. Not to mention that her status was above hers. As soon as she became a concubine, she was promoted to the same level as Concubine Mei.

She is young and beautiful, and looks so much like Empress Mingxian.

On the other hand, Concubine An Gui, the emperor did not know whether she had forgotten her. She had not seen the emperor for a long time.

Concubine An Gui had no choice but to suffer the loss of being dumb and smiled apologetically: "It's my concubine's fault."

Xia Rongxin watched their conversation with great interest without saying a word. Concubine An looked at her, hoping that Concubine Mei would come forward and say a few words to help her out. However, Xia Rongxin didn't look at her, and stared straight at the tea in her hand, with the corner of her mouth

Bringing up a faint smile.

"After all, there are still two lives. Does Concubine Ming not care so much?" Yan Bin asked pretending to be nonchalant, and smiled at Lu Huiling after speaking.

"The residence of a high-ranking official in the prime minister's office is rich and powerful, and the lives of a few servants are nothing more than that. What does it matter?" Lan Jieyu said with a smile while twirling her nails.

Lan Jieyu is the biological sister of Mr. Lan, the bachelor of the cabinet. Mr. Lan has always been at odds with the Prime Minister Lu Gaohong in the court. Naturally, Lan Jieyu can't stand the concubine Ming who was born in the Prime Minister's Office.

"Really? Concubine Ming." Lan Jieyu asked Lu Huiling with a smile.

"Compared to the Lan Mansion, my mother's family is indeed much better. After all, I am from a small family. If you don't know about the high family's family, you have to make random guesses." Lu Huiling replied with a smile, "This lady

It seems short-sighted to say so.”

Lu Huiling's words offended most of the concubines present, including the highest-ranking Concubine Mei.

Lu Huiling was born into a family of Zhengyipin ministers. Prime Minister Lu was the head of the hundred officials. Because he was the uncle of His Royal Highness, he was granted the title of State Uncle. His mother was the first-grade imperial concubine of the late Emperor.

Not to mention that his imperial aunt is the wise and wise empress that the emperor cherishes, how many of you here have a status and background comparable to hers?

After hearing this, Xia Rongxin's smile froze, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes. Her mother's family was far inferior to the Prime Minister's Palace, far away in Qinhuai. Her father only served as a small county magistrate, and could only enter the palace every year at the end of the year.

Saint, far inferior to Beijing official Lu Gaohong.

As the head of a hundred officials, Lu Gaohong could make Xia Rongxin's father resign and go home with just a letter.

Lu Huiling's words not only made Lan Jieyu lose face, but also slapped everyone present in the face.

Lu Huiling just had a good family background, but now her status was still above them, so she could only endure it and keep silent when she was scolded.

But Lu Huiling didn't care about this. She didn't want to make friends in the harem, nor did she want to argue with them. She just felt that they were taking too much care and was a little bored.

Lu Huiling noticed that the atmosphere among the concubines was not right, and did not want to look at them more. She just used the lid of the cup to sweep the tea leaves on the surface of the tea.

"Since you have entered the palace, you must abide by the rules in the palace. You cannot flout the palace rules just because you are the emperor's favorite concubine." Concubine An Gui said with a smile, "The emperor specifically issued an order not to allow us concubines to punish the servants privately.

How come it doesn’t work when it comes to Concubine Ming? Is it possible that Concubine Ming relies on herself to be favored and doesn’t take the emperor’s words seriously?”

Lu Huiling instantly understood that they were determined to hold on to the two palace ladies she had executed, but she was not afraid. Where was the palace? When she executed the two palace ladies, the news had already spread.

Yes, it is impossible for the emperor not to know. If he is really angry, why wait until there is no movement yet?

In fact, she woke up when the emperor woke up this morning. She turned her back to the emperor and heard what the emperor said to Eunuch He. She understood that the emperor felt guilty for her, so no matter what she did now,

Even the emperor would not blame her.

"It's not your turn to educate me." Lu Huiling said calmly, "Since I have punished them, it makes sense. If you don't understand the reason, just shut up. Be careful of who is punished next.

It’s you!”

Lu Huiling looked at An Guibi with stern eyes, and An Guibi couldn't help but shudder. She knew that Lu Huiling was not joking, she could really do it.

An Guibi's breath gathered in her chest and she was so bored that she couldn't express it. But she also knew that she couldn't be a match for Lu Huiling, a little girl, so she could only keep silent.

The other concubines are too lazy to wade into this muddy water. As a noble concubine, Concubine An Gui was originally just under Concubine Mei, but she was in vain. She acted like a monster in the palace all day long, annoying people, and now she even tries to offend the emperor.

The concubine Ming in my heart.

Everyone in the palace now knows that this young and beautiful Concubine Ming is the emperor's substitute for his longing for Empress Mingxian. When she was just a female official, she enjoyed the favor of the exclusive palace.

Seeing Concubine Ming quarreling with Concubine An, the other concubines looked at each other and just lowered their heads to drink tea, as if they were hearing a joke.

"As a noble concubine, I am in charge of the Sixth Palace on behalf of the empress. I have been given a silver seal by the emperor. I wonder if I can educate Concubine Ming?" Xia Rongxin sat up straight, put down the tea cup in her hand, and put one hand on it.

On the desk beside him, Lu Huiling looked directly at him. Although there was a smile on his lips, his eyes were as cold as ice.

As soon as the concubines saw Concubine Mei talking, they knew there was something good to watch. Concubine An was even happier. She glanced at Lu Huiling and smiled, then looked at Concubine Mei and said: "This

Of course, the position of empress is vacant, and the imperial concubine is the deputy empress. She also has the silver seal given by the emperor in her hand, so all matters in the harem are naturally under her control."

As he said that, he looked back at Yan Bin, who was sitting next to him: "Do you think so?"

"That's right. Without rules, there is no rule." Yan Bin nodded in agreement.

"There is no rule without rules. Concubine Ming came to the palace for the first time. She has not learned etiquette and is not as good as the sisters here. This is normal." Xia Rongxin still looked at Lu Huiling and said with a smile, "The emperor also told me today

Come on, let me pay more attention to Concubine Liang. After all, she is young and ignorant, and it will be bad if she doesn't know the etiquette. After all, the palace is a palace, and you can't just follow the rules of the Prime Minister's Palace. Moreover, the concubine is also a concubine after all, if she is still
