A few days later, Lian Di was handling affairs in Guangqing Palace. She knew that her position in the harem was stable, but that didn't mean she could let her guard down. She always kept an eye on the surrounding movements and was always ready to deal with possible challenges.

One day, Dongxia walked into the bedroom and said nervously, "My Lady, Yuening's recent behavior is a little abnormal. She seems to be in contact with Zhao Liangyuan in secret."

Lian Di frowned slightly: "Yuening is in contact with Zhao Liangyuan? Is there any relationship between them?"

Dong Xia shook her head: "I don't know, but Yue Ning's attitude towards you has changed recently. I am worried that she will harm you."

Lian Di nodded: "You are right. We must be more careful and keep a close eye on Yuening's movements."

As she was talking, Yue Ning walked in with a look of disdain on her face. She bowed to Lian Di and said coldly, "Madam, Zhao Liangyuan just sent someone to say that she wants to come to Guangqing Palace to pay her respects. What do you think?"

Lian Di's heart moved. Zhao Liangyuan's position was indeed higher than hers, but she felt a little uneasy. She knew that Zhao Liangyuan had a close relationship with Concubine Chun, and she might have ulterior motives in coming to pay respects this time. She said softly, "Yuening, what do you think of Zhao Liangyuan's intention?"

Yue Ning smiled coldly: "My lady, Zhao Liangyuan is of a higher position than you, it is natural for her to come and pay her respects, you don't have to worry too much."

Lian Di heard the disrespect in Yue Ning's tone and felt unhappy, but she remained calm: "In that case, let Zhao Liangyuan come."

Yue Ning nodded, but did not leave. She stood aside and continued, "My queen, Zhao Liangyuan is higher in status than you. You should respect her more and not offend her for trivial matters."

Lian Di was furious, but she kept a calm expression: "Yuening, you are a maid of Guangqing Palace. You should obey your master's arrangements instead of acting on your own."

A trace of disdain flashed in Yue Ning's eyes: "My lady, I am just thinking about you. I hope you can handle your relationship with Zhao Liangyuan well."

Lian Di said coldly: "Yuening, your duty is to serve me, not to teach me a lesson."

Yue Ning smiled slightly, said nothing more, and turned to leave the bedroom. Lian Di looked at her back and felt a chill in her heart. She knew that Yue Ning's attitude had changed, and she had to be more careful.

Not long after, Zhao Liangyuan arrived at Guangqing Palace. She smiled and bowed, saying, "Lady Liandi, Zhao Liangyuan comes to pay her respects."

Lian Di smiled slightly and nodded in response: "Zhao Liangyuan, please sit down."

After Zhao Liangyuan sat down, she glanced around Guangqing Palace and said calmly, "Mrs. Lian Di, your Guangqing Palace is elegantly decorated and makes people feel very comfortable."

Lian Di smiled and said, "Thank you Zhao Liangyuan for the compliment. The palace is busy with affairs, and the arrangements were made thanks to the help of Dong Xia and other palace maids."

Zhao Liangyuan nodded, with a strange light flashing in her eyes: "Really? I heard that Yue Ning is very important to you recently. She is indeed a capable maid."

Lian Di's heart moved, and she felt the deep meaning in Zhao Liangyuan's words. She kept smiling and said softly: "Yuening is indeed very capable, but every palace maid has her own responsibilities."

Zhao Liangyuan smiled slightly and said no more. She knew that the purpose of her trip had been achieved, and the next step was to see how Yue Ning performed.

After Zhao Liangyuan left, Lian Di felt exhausted. She knew that although her position in the harem was stable, she still faced many challenges. She had to stay vigilant at all times to deal with these undercurrents.

A few days later, Dong Xia came to Lian Di again, looking even more nervous: "My Lady, Yuening has been very close to Zhao Liangyuan recently, and I am worried that she will betray you."

Lian Di's heart tightened: "We must pay close attention to Yue Ning's every move and not let her take advantage of any opportunity."

Dong Xia nodded: "Yes, Madam, I will do my best."

Yue Ning was secretly planning her own plan. She knew that Zhao Liangyuan was the confidant of Concubine Chun Rong. As long as she could win Zhao Liangyuan's trust, she would have the opportunity to improve her status. She decided not to follow Lian Di's instructions, but to betray her and get Zhao Liangyuan's promotion.

One day, Yue Ning found Zhao Liangyuan and whispered, "Madam Zhao Liangyuan, I am willing to serve you. I hope you can give me a chance."

Zhao Liangyuan looked at Yuening, a sneer flashed in her eyes: "Yuening, you should know that betraying your master is a serious crime. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Yue Ning nodded firmly: "Madam Zhao Liangyuan, I just hope to have a better future and am willing to serve you."

Zhao Liangyuan smiled slightly: "Okay, I will consider your request. However, you must prove your loyalty."

Yue Ning whispered, "I will do my best to prove my loyalty, Madam Zhao Liangyuan, please rest assured."

Zhao Liangyuan nodded, already having a plan in mind. She knew that Yue Ning's betrayal would be a good opportunity to further weaken Lian Di's power. She decided to use Yue Ning to achieve her goal.

A few days later, Zhao Liangyuan deliberately arranged a meeting with Concubine Chun. She brought Yue Ning to Concubine Chun and whispered, "Concubine Chun, this is Yue Ning. She is willing to serve you."

Chunrong looked at Yuening with a hint of coldness in her eyes: "Yuening, are you really willing to betray Liandi and work for me?"

Yue Ning nodded firmly: "My Lady Concubine Chun, I am willing to serve you, and I only hope to have a better future."

Chunrong smiled slightly: "Very good, I will give you a chance. You must prove your loyalty to me, otherwise, I will not trust you easily."

Yue Ning whispered, "I will do my best to prove my loyalty, please rest assured, Concubine Chun."

Chunrong nodded, already having a plan in mind. She knew that Yue Ning's betrayal would be a good opportunity to further weaken Lian Di's power. She decided to use Yue Ning to achieve her own goal.
