I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

"Where are we going?" Liu Zhirou lifted the curtain with her slender hands, revealing a gap.

She didn't have any particular intention. She just wanted to confirm the distance and the time she would arrive at the palace to avoid missing something important. So she casually asked Tan Xiang who was serving her.

What Liu Zhirou heard was quite nonchalant, but Tan Xiang's reaction was quite intense.

After all, as a personal servant of the palace, Tan Xiang dared not ignore her master's words casually. She hurriedly knelt down and walked out of the warm, soft and comfortable inner room. She asked a few questions to the palace maid waiting outside the carriage. The palace maid then asked the coachman outside for the specific location as if taking over the relay. Then Tan Xiang reported to Liu Zhirou.

After Liu Zhirou asked about the location, she seemed to be thinking about something and did not ask any more questions. Tan Xiang did not dare to neglect her and instead concentrated and sat on the other side.

She felt that the majesty of her own Concubine Chun seemed to be growing stronger and stronger. Although she was only a teenage girl, she already had the aura of a superior.

As her inspiration grew, Liu Zhirou found that she could control other people's emotions more and more accurately. Even if they didn't look at her directly, Tan Xiang could roughly guess what the other person was thinking.

She was not unaware of the other party's feelings, but since this matter would be beneficial to her future life, she just let it go.

Although Tan Xiang is the Empress Dowager's person, she has been diligent and loyal in covering up many things that are not in line with the rules for Liu Zhirou in recent times, which has improved Liu Zhirou's quality of life in the Cining Palace. She no longer has to be restricted like she was in the harem, and is afraid of being targeted if she relaxes a little.

Liu Zhirou was actually quite grateful to Tan Xiang for this, but she did not think that Tan Xiang was so moved by her personal charm that she was willing to abandon the evergreen tree of the Queen Mother and become a disciple of Concubine Chun.

Because Liu Zhirou was very clear about the situation in the Cining Palace. The distribution of power in the Cining Palace was completely different from that in other palaces. The empress dowager's control over the Cining Palace far exceeded that of the queen over the harem in the general sense.

Under such circumstances, Tan Xiang, who could be entrusted with an important task by the empress dowager and sent to serve the pregnant concubine, must not be an easy person to deal with.

Although Sandalwood had had problems before, that was also a crime without fighting. Wang Fuhai was so weird that even Liu Zhirou had to plan carefully before she could succeed in dealing with him personally.

No matter how capable Sandalwood is, he is only capable in the secular world. How can he deal with such a person?

This seems to be a very reasonable thing to do and not worthy of blame.

But sometimes, the most unreasonable thing is the most reasonable thing. Liu Zhirou had a vague guess that the Empress Dowager of the Cining Palace had a mixed attitude towards her. At the beginning, she valued her with a bit of vigilance. At that time, the Empress Dowager treated her like an ordinary chess piece. She was the price that the Emperor gave to the Empress, and was a tie-in for the transaction between the two supreme power monsters. That was all.

Therefore, the Queen Mother has certain good intentions towards her, but she does not completely regard her as her own. Moreover, this good intention also depends on the value of Liu Zhirou. If Liu Zhirou is quite capable and can even capture the heart of the Emperor, then the Queen Mother will not hesitate to give her a little more support. If Liu Zhirou is incompetent and even causes trouble, then the Queen Mother will not be unwilling to give up on her, and will not protect her like she would protect her own niece.

In this situation, Liu Zhirou's position was very clear, but as time went by, the Queen Mother's attitude towards Liu Zhirou gradually became ambiguous. When Liu Zhirou was pregnant, the Queen Mother was indeed ecstatic, and even regarded Liu Zhirou as her greatest and only political capital. She screened all the people Liu Zhirou came into contact with while living in the Cining Palace over and over again, which was obviously a case of excessive protectiveness.

It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Zhirou has long surpassed Zhang Xianshi, who was regarded as a discarded child, in the eyes of the empress dowager. Even if she really did something wrong or was caught up in some trouble, the empress dowager would do her best to protect her, even at the cost of a huge price.

However, after the Wang Fuhai incident and even the Liu Zhilan incident, the empress dowager's attitude became more hesitant and ambiguous.

She seemed to value him, otherwise the Queen Mother would not have arranged so many people to accompany a concubine. But she did not seem to value him with the desire for control that she had at the beginning.

On the contrary, the Queen Mother seemed to regard Liu Zhirou as a person of equal status with herself. She was kind but also a little cautious, but she did her best to provide Liu Zhirou with the greatest convenience.

Liu Zhirou roughly guessed something, and seeing that Wanpin had the same attitude towards him today, she realized that she was probably regarded as a backup of some big boss, so they were so respectful to her.

But if you think about it carefully, this guess is not far-fetched. Looking at the very rigid gashapon system she carries with her, Liu Zhirou herself has no way of confirming whether there is a mysterious existence behind her waiting to pick the melon.

Her time travel was not a normal thing in the first place. In addition, she was born in the Liu family together with Liu Zhijin, who was also a book traveler. It was almost impossible to say that there was no influence behind this.

Therefore, taking this aspect into consideration, Liu Zhirou did not rush to place a bet, but chose to make preparations for both situations, ready to act according to the circumstances and choose who to help based on the development of the situation.

Liu Zhirou was not from this world, and two short years were not enough time for a slow-moving person like her to establish any particularly deep bonds, so her attitude was relatively vague and detached.
