Ah, you traveled through time too?

After the emperor's birthday celebration, the concubines returned to their respective palaces. However, the scenes of the celebration left a deep impression on them, especially Lian Di's performance of the zither, which aroused a lot of jealousy and dissatisfaction.

Although Concubine Chun showed admiration for Lian Di on the surface, she secretly rejected and envied her in her heart. She knew that Lian Di's talent and favor had threatened her position in the harem. She had to find a way to weaken Lian Di's influence.

One day, Concubine Chun summoned all the concubines to Chaolu Palace for a meeting. Lian Di arrived on time and saluted Concubine Chun: "Your Highness Concubine Chun, I am here to see you."

Concubine Chun smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone: "Sister Lian Di, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

After Lian Di sat down, Concubine Chun said, "My dear sisters, the emperor has been paying more attention to us in the harem recently. We must also do our best to live up to the emperor's expectations."

The concubines all nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Concubine Chun continued, "Sister Lian Di, your piano skills are indeed outstanding, and even the emperor praises you highly. However, in the harem, not only talent is needed, but also careful words and actions. I wonder if Sister Lian Di understands?"

As soon as these words came out, all the concubines looked at Lian Di, some of them showed gloating expressions, while others were worried and uneasy. Lian Di knew in her heart that Concubine Chun was indirectly provoking hostility towards her and wanted to embarrass her in front of everyone.

Lian Di smiled slightly, her tone respectful and humble: "Thank you for your teachings, Concubine Chun. I will keep it in mind. I have always been respectful and cautious in my words and deeds, and I will never let down the emperor's love and the expectations of the queen."

Seeing Lian Di being so calm and low-key, Concubine Chun was a little disappointed, but she still kept a smile on her face: "I am very pleased that sister Lian Di can have such an attitude. I hope you can continue to maintain it."

Lian Di bowed again and said gently: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."

At this time, Concubine Li said, "Empress Chun, Sister Lian Di is indeed talented, but we cannot ignore the efforts of other sisters. I hope everyone can help each other and jointly maintain the harmony of the harem."

Concubine Chun nodded and said with a smile: "Concubine Li is right. Every sister in the harem is the emperor's favorite. We must work together to maintain the harmony of the harem."

The concubines nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere seemed to ease. But Lian Di knew in her heart that this was only temporary. She knew that Concubine Chun's rejection and jealousy of her had not been eliminated, and she would instead secretly look for opportunities to suppress her.

After the meeting, Lian Di returned to Guangqing Palace. Dong Xia saw that she looked a little solemn, and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, did Concubine Chun's words today make you feel uneasy?"

Lian Di sighed slightly and said softly, "Dong Xia, Concubine Chun's rejection and jealousy of me have not been eliminated. She indirectly provoked hostility towards me in front of everyone, hoping to make everyone suspicious and dissatisfied with me."

Dong Xia said worriedly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun is doing this to make you isolated and helpless in the harem. What should we do?"

Lian Di smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Don't worry, Dong Xia. As long as we stay calm and keep a low profile and don't give her any handle, we can resolve her conspiracy."

Dong Xia nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "My lady, I will always be by your side to protect your safety."

In the following days, Lian Di became more cautious and careful in her words and deeds when handling palace affairs. She knew that only by staying alert and calm could she remain invincible in this chaotic palace.
