"It seems so, but it scared us to death. The most unlucky ones for the master's crime were not our slaves, so who made us miserable?" Xiaomeizi shrugged and then worked hard to pull water from the well.
"This palace must have been uneasy recently. We should be more cautious and speak less." Xiaoyuanzi finished his work and stood up to leave.
"That's for sure. It would be great if I could go work for the Queen." Xiao Meizi said carelessly.
Xiao Yuanzi quickly covered her mouth. "Shh, don't talk nonsense. It looks good, but the Queen is now at the forefront of the storm. We servants should stay away from the storm. I'm sorry
I’m just telling you, don’t say this again in the future.”
"Yeah." Xiao Meizi nodded fiercely, with a look of horror on her face. It turned out that looking at a glamorous place was so dangerous.
The two of them packed up their things and went to work in their own yards.
"Queen, it's time to get up. Today is the first day that each palace begins to greet you." Xilan put the washing things on the shelf and called the lady softly.
"Are they all here?" She said half asleep with her eyes closed.
"I would like to report to the Queen, Concubine Sun said she was not feeling well and did not come." Xi Zi's voice was full of dissatisfaction. Concubine Sun had not settled the accounts with her for arresting the prince and the princess last night, and now she was openly challenging the lady.
"Oh, that's it! Lan'er helped me get up, wash and dress."
"Yes." Xilan neatly helped the master get dressed. "How does the Queen's hairstyle look like?"
Zhan Meixiang looked at herself in the mirror as if she had aged more than ten years, and was not as dignified as herself. "Don't put on too much rouge, a little is enough, and don't make your hair too serious and lively."
"Yes." Xilan quickly helped the young lady wipe off her rouge and change her hair style. After spending some time burning a stick of incense, the two of them slowly arrived at the hall.
Zhan Meixiang couldn't stop coughing before she got to the hall. No wonder Dongfang Che didn't enter the harem. These people are obviously as beautiful as flowers and they have to polish themselves to look like flowers. It's really a terrible aesthetic.
"I, the Queen, live a thousand years." When the concubines saw the Queen sitting down, they immediately stood up and paid homage.
Zhan Meixiang sat firmly on the phoenix chair, playing with her fingernails calmly without letting them get up. Xilan introduced one by one in the young lady's ear: "My young lady, the emperor has four concubines, six of whom are always here, and seven of the concubines.
Concubine, then there are nobles and beauties, as well as Zhaoyi and Xiunu. In total..."
"Stop, just tell me the main thing." She didn't want to hear how many concubines the emperor had.
"Then I will introduce you to the four concubines. You have met two of them. Concubine Xian, the daughter of the Minister of Etiquette. She has skillful hands and excellent workmanship. She is as clear and gentle as clear water. She has the most poisonous heart and often stirs up trouble.
Let others do things for her. Liangfei
, the daughter of the county king, is arrogant and domineering, has a bold personality, speaks harshly, and is often instigated by virtuous concubines. She has a bright and charming appearance, and her singing songs with a good voice are famous in the capital.
Concubine Shu, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. She is a great dancer, has a sweet voice, looks sweet, and has the strongest jealousy. She, Concubine Sun, and the good concubine were the only ones in the palace who were instigated to target the heroine for revenge. Concubine De, the Inspectorate
He is the censor of the left and right governors. He has excellent piano skills, a petite and charming appearance, a naughty personality, and a lively voice."
