My Lady is well

"How dare you snatch the daughter of a poor county magistrate from me? Don't you realize your own status?"

"me......"

"What are you talking about? You can't even speak clearly. It's embarrassing."

"..."

As soon as Shen Yueyao stepped into Yingxiu Palace, she heard a loud commotion. She stopped behind her nanny and watched the scene not far away quietly.

The Queen Mother rewarded the six palaces with some brocade and jewelry. The two of them fell in love with the same brocade, so they had a dispute.

At this time, another beautiful woman came over, protected the man who spoke incoherently behind her, and raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully.

"Wan Qiaozhen, you are bullying Wei Cainv again."

It turned out that the domineering woman was called Wan Qiaozhen.

She placed her hands in front of her slender waist, held her head high and chest puffed out, looking superior, as if she was the only one in the sky and everyone else was just mud.

She rolled her eyes lightly and said disdainfully.

"Sun Siwan, why are you everywhere? She was the one who overestimated her own abilities and tried to snatch things from me first. I was just giving her a lesson and asked you to meddle in other people's business."

Sun Cainü glared back at her with contempt.

"Wei Cainu is a fellow concubine like you, so what right do you have to teach her a lesson? Even if you are given this brocade, so what? A pheasant is still a pheasant, it cannot become a phoenix. The emperor has bright eyes, it would be strange if he would like you."

Wan Qiaozhen's ladylike appearance was a little bit off, her face was gloomy and ferocious, as if she was about to rush up and fight with her at the next moment.

"What are you doing?"

A steady and calm voice interrupted them, and they all restrained their sharpness and lowered their heads.

The head aunt of Yingxiu Palace lifted her skirt and walked up to the few people with an expressionless face.

"Miss Wan, Miss Sun, Miss Wei, you three masters are making loud noises and are not well behaved. According to the rules, you should be flogged twenty times and kneel for an hour."

Wan Cainu raised her head and said angrily: "You! You dare to hit me?"

"It is my duty to follow the rules and restrain the words and deeds of my masters. If Miss Wan Cai has any dissatisfaction with me, you can go to Yong'an Palace to ask the Queen for justice."

Shen Yueyao couldn't help but sigh, this aunt is so powerful, her words and actions are neither humble nor arrogant, she knows very well that those below the fifth rank are not even qualified to wake up in the morning and evening and pay respects to the queen.

This is to remind Wan Cainü that people should know themselves.

The nanny who led the way saw that the whole incident was over before leading Shen Yueyao to the aunt in charge and bowed.

"This is the new Shen Cainu. Please ask Aunt Shang to arrange it."

The aunt in charge bowed to her with an indifferent tone.

"I have met Shen Cainu. Only Xu Cainu lives in the Luhua Pavilion in Nanyuan. Shen Cainu should live with her."

Shen Yueyao nodded slightly, her eyes sweeping over the three people who were being punished. The ruler hit her palm, and her fair palm trembled like fragile petals in the cold wind. It was really painful to watch.

Shen Yueyao followed the nanny through the elegant courtyard, around the winding water corridor, through the introverted and round moon-shaped door, and entered the exquisite Luhua Pavilion.

The nanny stopped, turned around and bowed to her.

"Ms. Shen, we have arrived at Luhua Pavilion. Remember to go to Jiade Hall to learn etiquette and rules every day at chenshi. In the afternoon, from shenshi to youshi, you will learn the eight elegant arts or women's needlework."

Shen Yueyao was stunned. This concubine is very busy all day and still has to attend classes?

"I've remembered. Thank you, Mammy."

She smiled faintly and bowed: "I'll take my leave."

Shen Yueyao originally had no idea about the concubines, but after arriving at Yingxiu Palace she found out that all the concubines lived here.

Compared with the prince's concubine, her treatment is not even a little bit worse.

The bedroom was very small, with a set of half-new mahogany tables and chairs, on which was placed a set of tribute porcelain tea sets, a maple embroidered couch, a green silk curtain embroidered with crabapples tied with silver hooks, and a picture of pear blossoms hanging on the wall.

Shen Yueyao sat on the embroidered couch. She missed Jin'er a little.

Cainu did not have a personal maid around her, so she had to do many things by herself. Jin'er was reassigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and no one knew which palace she was assigned to.

There are only two palace maids in the entire Luhua Pavilion, or to be precise, only one, who take turns on duty.

Shen Yueyao lay on the couch with her head tilted back, staring at the green ceiling of the tent. Her life was finally saved.

As long as she has no further connection with Jing Ruzhang and Wen Xueshu in the future, she should not be in any danger anymore.

"Is Sister Shen here?"

Shen Yueyao heard someone talking outside, so she stood up and walked out.

A woman in a cherry pink dress stood under the maple tree in front of the moon cave gate, smiling at her, revealing two shallow dimples, very cute.

She ran towards her with great speed, and only when she was in front of her did she restrain her manners, bowed slightly, and called out sweetly, "Sister Shen."

Shen Yueyao also bowed in return and said: "This sister is..."

She pointed to the house opposite and said, "My name is Xu Niannian, and I live there."

"It turned out to be Sister Xu."

"I just ran into Aunt Qu. She said a woman named Shen had come to Luhua Pavilion, so I hurried back. Finally, someone lives with me. I was so bored being alone."

Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "It's my honor to have my sister accompany me."

Seeing that she was delicate and pretty, and had a captivating smile, Xu Niannian bit her beautiful lips lightly, lowered her head, and said with a blushing face.

"Sister Shen is so beautiful."

Then he looked up and asked, "Did you have lunch when you came, sister?"

Shen Yueyao shook her head slowly: "Not yet."

She enthusiastically grabbed Shen Yueyao's wrist and said, "Sister, come with me."

Shen Yueyao was led by her to jog to the opposite house. Xu Niannian glanced around the door and closed it like a thief.

Shen Yueyao frowned slightly, thinking, this girl is quite interesting.

Xu Niannian climbed onto the bed, took out a package from under the pillow, held it in front of Shen Yueyao, and slowly lifted the white silk handkerchief, revealing a few red bean cakes and chestnut cakes wrapped inside.

“I’ve been saving this for three days.”

"Saved...?"

"Yes, that's right. The dining hours in Yingxiu Palace are all set. Moreover, Madam wants us to maintain our manners, and the meals are all set. I always wake up hungry in the middle of the night. Every time, I will secretly hide two pieces of cakes when Madam isn't paying attention."

"..."

This was truly a cruel thing, and Shen Yueyao couldn't help but feel worried.

But there was still one thing she didn't understand, so she thought about it and asked.

"The emperor has just ascended the throne and there has been no selection of concubines, so why are there so many concubines in Yingxiu Palace?"

Xu Niannian picked up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth and started chewing.

"In addition to the concubines of the former Eastern Palace, when the Emperor ascended the throne, many princes and ministers sent beauties as gifts. I was sent in by Prince Qi."

Shen Yueyao lowered her head silently. It turned out that these women were his gifts.

[PS: The male protagonist here intends to make her a concubine, and he even personally drafts many titles for her.

But the heroine didn't want to do that. The original owner was tortured to death shortly after being made a concubine. She felt that she would definitely die if she was made a concubine.

Her conversation with Jin'er happened to be overheard by the male protagonist. At that time, the male protagonist had feelings for her without realizing it. He only knew that the female protagonist did not like him.

After some struggle, the male protagonist decided to let go and fulfill her wish.

As his king, he put her in the farthest corner of the palace, leaving her to fend for herself and never see her again.

However, gold also shines in the corners.

The emperor ascended the throne but failed to confer the title, so the heroine can only farm slowly. 】
