The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

After the queen gave her speech, the concubines gathered in Kunning Palace left one after another.

Xie Yuzhen and Xu Xiaoyi were chatting leisurely about the layout of Yuchunju while walking around a bush with yellow leaves. After turning around, they both saw Shen Xiaoyi waiting in front of them.

Shen Xiaoyi stood there quietly with a friendly smile on her face, but her eyes kept flickering, constantly shifting from Xie Yuzhen to Xu Xiaoyi and then back again, which made her smile seem a little strange and less sincere.

Shen Xiaoyi was just wondering why Concubine Xie wanted to stay with Xu Xiaoyi after everyone had paid their respects... In their previous life, these two people had never been so close. Xu Xiaoyi could not escape Liu Shuyi's control, and Xie Yuzhen had been favored since she entered the palace. She even wanted to pester the emperor even when she was pregnant. Later, somehow, she suddenly promoted a royal concubine named Liu.

Could it be that these changes are caused by my rebirth in this life?

It's really that too much time has passed. Shen Xiaoyi now only remembers that after she fell into the water in her previous life, Xu Xiaoyi took care of her and was valued by the empress and the emperor, and thus became favored... But even though Xu Xiaoyi was favored, she followed Liu Shuyi every day and was at her beck and call. In the past, Shen Xiaoyi didn't know why Xu was so cowardly even though she was a favorite concubine, but now she knows that it's all because Xu's mother is still under the control of the Liu family.

And Cairen Xie... Shen Xiaoyi tried desperately to recall, and finally remembered that Xie Yuzhen had actually come to visit her after she fell into the water in her previous life.

It was a pity that I was so cowardly at that time. After I helped her once, this favored Lady Xie never took the initiative to take care of me again... She still hasn't praised Liu Yunu, could it be that she has taken a fancy to Xu Xiaoyi? !

Shen Xiaoyi felt a sense of urgency in her heart. She put on an exaggerated smile and took the initiative to greet the two people: "Hello, talented people. Hello, Xu Xiaoyi. What a coincidence that you two are also going back this way."

Shouning Palace and Yuchunju are not in the same direction, but there is a section of the road they can go together after leaving Kunning Palace. Shen Xiaoyi didn't know about it, she was just waiting here for Xu Xiaoyi.

"Hello, Shen Xiaoyi." Xu Xiaoyi lowered her eyebrows, looking very well-behaved. Her voice was soft and harmless. "Shen Xiaoyi is not going back to Yanzhang Palace?"

If Shouning Palace and Yuchunju share a common path, then Yanzhang Palace and Yuchunju are in two completely opposite directions.

Shen Xiaoyi blushed, and she twisted the handkerchief in her hand uncomfortably: "I just heard that Xu Xiaoyi was injured... I went to Yuchunju to visit her many times, but I didn't see Xiaoyi, so..."

As she was weaving her own words, she felt that she could have said them better. Her mood was swinging back and forth between regret and embarrassment. She secretly blamed Xu Xiaoyi for being distant from her, which made her stand here in embarrassment.

Rebirth does not increase your IQ or EQ.

Xu Xiaoyi, who had already guessed that she also had a system, was reluctant to continue to be friends with Shen Xiaoyi. However, if they were to fall out, it would be too much of a loss. Moreover, she had not yet figured out how Shen Xiaoyi's system had caused her to fall for no reason...

If I fall out with her, it would be bad if she takes her anger out on my sister.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoyi couldn't help but glance at Xie Yuzhen beside her. Xie Yuzhen seemed unaware of the undercurrent between the two of them and smiled at her.

This smile made Xu Xiaoyi feel a warm power injected into her chest. She looked at Shen Xiaoyi, whose face was gradually becoming impatient, and said softly with a little surprise: "I didn't know that Sister Shen had visited me. It's a sin."

Her reaction made Shen Xiaoyi feel relieved at once.

Xu Xiaoyi continued to explain: "Sister Shen also knows that I have injured my head and need to rest. It is inconvenient for me to see outsiders. Moreover... I have not been able to reunite with my mother for a long time. She does not know the rules of the palace and is afraid of offending the sisters in the palace. Therefore, the two of us, mother and daughter, stay indoors... I hope Sister Shen will not worry."

As she spoke, she bowed to Shen Xiaoyi and apologized.

Shen Xiaoyi originally wanted to go up and hold her quickly, so as to show her the deep sisterly love, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Xie Yuzhen standing steadily beside her. She couldn't help but think of the scene where Xu Xiaoyi's personal maid diligently welcomed Xie Cairen into the house. Her movements slowed down, and she let Xu Xiaoyi complete the whole ceremony before she retracted her outstretched hands.

Although she didn't show any sign of it in her actions, Shen Xiaoyi said affectionately, "We are sisters, why should we be so formal? When your mother leaves the palace, I have some things that she can use. I will give them to her so that she can take the money and find a place to live outside the palace."

This Shen is really like the earth and the sky between him and the versatile Wen Baolin.

Xie Yuzhen tried hard to keep his mouth tight so that he wouldn't burst out laughing.

Shen Xiaoyi's behavior reminded Xie Yuzhen of his sister-in-law.

Marquis Wuwei had four sons. The eldest and second sons were both legitimate, while the third and fourth sons were illegitimate. However, Marquis Wuwei's wife raised all four sons under her care. Later, they married one after another, and their wives became close to Marquis Wuwei's wife.

The wife of the Marquis of Wuwei was a typical girl from an aristocratic family. She regarded Xie Yuzhen as a dirty thing and refused to even look at her. The third wife, who had married before Xie Yuzhen entered the family, was very similar to Shen Xiaoyi.

She is equally tongue-tied, but loves to say things that show her closeness to others. Her concern for others is not in the right way, and instead her hypocritical, kind, and arrogant nature is repeatedly exposed.

For such a person, as long as you open your mouth and expose her inconsistency between words and deeds, these daughters of wealthy families who value their family's reputation will be ashamed and angry to death - but the shame and anger are only temporary. They are only ashamed and angry, but not remorseful. Instead, after being exposed, they will develop a stronger resentment. On the surface, they are as close as a family, but behind the scenes, they will resort to any despicable means.

Xie Yuzhen turned his head to look at the fallen leaves beside him and lowered his eyes slightly to hide his sarcastic look.

It was just the right time to ask Xu Xiaoyi to absorb another wave of hatred so that he could see how the system worked.

She didn't say anything, but Xu Xiaoyi naturally took over Shen Xiaoyi's words: "Thank you, Sister Shen, for your concern. My mother left the palace a few days ago. Your Majesty and the Queen have given her money and property. I would like to thank Sister Shen for her kindness on behalf of my mother."

Shen Xiaoyi was choked by her words. Her cheeks became even hotter and the embarrassment in her heart continued to rise. She forced a smile and kept cursing Xu Xiaoyi in her heart for being ungrateful and not even telling her in advance. It was a pity that she still wanted to be friends with her!

She didn't remember at all that she had been chasing after Concubine Wang all this time and didn't pay any attention to the changes on Xu Xiaoyi's side.

"So that's how it is, haha." Shen Xiaoyi said dryly, she was at a loss, "It's such a nice day today, Xiaoyi, do you want to come over to my place and sit down?"
