Lady Yu, the favorite concubine of the King of Yan, was once a princess of a vassal state in her early years. She was sent to the king by her own country and won the king's favor with her gentleness and beauty. She gave birth to Prince Fei for the king and then gave birth to a smart little princess when the king was in his forties.

The king's favor for Lady Yu grew day by day.

Madam Yu was also a knowledgeable and interesting person. Even though the king and queen had passed away for many years, she never tempted the king to make her the queen. Instead, she stayed quietly in the harem, which made her even more favored. As a result, her two children were more valued by the king than other royal children.

Especially the little princess, who is only a few years old now, can enter and leave the king's palace at will, and no one in the entire palace dares to stop her.

Now Princess Zhiyan has come from afar, and she is as beautiful as a flower. The king also praised her after seeing her.

When everyone else had left, Madam Yu said quietly beside the king, "Your Majesty is going to get a new person."

Madam Yu is actually about the same age as Yu Rao Ji. No matter how well she takes care of herself, there are still a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes. The reason why she has been favored for so many years is not only because of her beauty, but also because of her knowledge and taste.

When the king heard her say this, he immediately smiled and came over to put his arm around her shoulders, "What did you say, Madam? She is just a little girl. I think Fei'er should get married, and I want to give her to him. What are you thinking? You are so jealous."

"Your Majesty only knows how to coax me." Madam Yu immediately put on a smile, coquettishly pushed the king, and then said tenderly, "I am also worried. Now I am old and ugly, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will despise me."

Seeing the beauty showing weakness, the king naturally softened his heart and tried to comfort her again. Finally, he generously gave her ten hu of pearls, under the pretext of giving Madam Yu ink powder to apply on her face.

"See, His Majesty really still dislikes me." Madam Yu took advantage of the situation and acted nice, coaxing the king into not knowing what day it was.

After the two of them had some tenderness, the monarch left her residence in a happy mood. Madam Yu washed up again, and then arranged for people to prepare a banquet in an orderly manner, welcoming Princess Zhiyan and inviting many people to accompany her.

Rao Ji is one of them.

Everyone says that pillow talk is the most powerful. Fang is deeply valued by the king. Rao Ji and he have been his confidante for many years. Madam Yu herself is well versed in pillow talk, so she treats Rao Ji with special courtesy and specially sends someone to invite her.

"A woman who is self-reliant does not mean she cannot rely on men. If she can rely on men to climb up step by step and reach a high position of power, she is much stronger than a woman who only claims to be successful."

Madam Yu has been in the palace for many years and has her own way of dealing with things.

Afterwards, he asked someone to divide out a bucket of pearls that the king had rewarded him with, waiting to give it to Rao Ji later.

Outsiders all said that she was not competitive and had never thought of going further after giving birth to a son. However, Madam Yu knew very well that if she did not compete, she would be at the mercy of others. It was not that she did not compete, but that she did not want others to notice that she was competing.

Shi Li was dressed as Rao Ji's maid, so naturally she couldn't ride in the sedan chair. She could only follow Rao Ji's sedan chair with her head down, just like the other maids.

"I'm sorry, sir." Rao Ji felt quite embarrassed before getting into the sedan chair.

Shi Li just said it was okay and was looking forward to tonight's dinner.

Madam Yu did not hold banquets in the palace, but in another temporary palace, which was uninhabited in the early years. Later, it was directly granted to her by the king. From then on, Madam Yu liked to hold any banquet there.

Rao Ji was already familiar with this. When she got off the sedan chair outside the palace, she only asked Shi Li and another maid to go in.

The banquet was held in a pavilion by the water, with many candles lit all around to illuminate the area.

Rao Ji saw Madam Yu was already at the table, so she walked over and knelt down to apologize, "Madam, please forgive me, I am late."

"Don't say that. We don't care about it." Madam Yu smiled gently. She immediately asked someone to give the prepared pearls to Rao Ji and pulled her to sit next to her.

Shi Li and another maid naturally stood behind Rao Ji, and Shi Li took the opportunity to take a closer look at Madam Yu.

On the one hand, she is beautiful, and on the other hand, even when she speaks to Rao Ji, she is very gentle and amiable, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze, without any arrogance of a favored concubine.

After a while, someone reported:

Master Fei is here!
