Want to win the palace fight? Better to be crazy than to be idiotic!

Due to the delay outside the garden, Su Feiran and Yu Xiao were the last to enter the main hall of Chitang Garden.

When the two men came in and sat down, Rao'er closed the door of the hall and waited aside, like a silent statue.

The concubines lined up in the palace according to their rank, and a seat for Su Feiran was reserved early on, between Jin Zhaohua and Concubine Wang.

"Is Liu Ronghua becoming arrogant because of his favor?"

Just as Su Feiran stood still, he heard someone at the end of the line chuckle,

"I saw you at the gate of the garden early in the morning, but you took so long to come in that you waited until everyone else arrived before you finally came. What is your intention? I don't need to explain it to you, do I?"

Su Feiran stood in her position and did not turn her head to look at the person who spoke. She did not need to look at all, she could tell who the provocative person was just by listening to the voice -

Yang Luoxiu, Yang Cainü.

In the second half of the talent show that day, she performed a stand-up comedy, which was indeed outstanding, and the topic she chose was also unique. Her humorous and sharp words were thought-provoking, so Empress Xian was very impressed. If Su Feiran had not used her talent for speaking English, Yang Luoxiu might have become the top girl in the show and won the favor of Empress Xian.

Perhaps for this reason, Yang Luoxiu had a hidden hostility towards Su Feiran, so it was not surprising that he made things difficult for her.

Su Feiran didn't take Yang Luoxiu's sour words seriously. Su Feiran firmly believed that all people were born equal, and she had done nothing wrong. Looking at the entire imperial city, and even the world, except for Concubine Xian, who made her sincerely convinced, no one, no matter how high their position, had the right to criticize her.

Besides, she wasn't late, so even if Concubine Jia personally came out to teach her a lesson, it wouldn't make sense.

"The scenery of Chitang Garden is unique, and even the outer wall is redder than other courtyards. I was so eager to see it that I forgot the time. Fortunately, Yuxiao reminded me, so I rushed in before noon."

Su Feiran was not angry either, and replied slowly, emphasizing the word "chenshi".

"Besides, the Imperial Concubine hasn't said anything yet, so how come Yang Cainu is guessing what I'm thinking on her behalf?"

Yang Luoxiu sneered, "Although you are not late, your attitude is what counts when you pay your respects to the Imperial Concubine! You regard the scenery as more important than the Imperial Concubine, so I naturally cannot stand it!"

Wu Jiayan sat in front of the hall, just like she did when she troubled Lin Xiuqing that day, with her eyes half-open, leaning on the armchair as if she was a little sleepy. When she heard the dispute in the queue, she didn't interrupt, but frowned impatiently.

Su Feiran saw that Wu Jiayan looked unhappy, and thought that she didn't want to listen to such a quarrel between elementary school students, so she kept silent.

Yang Luoxiu thought she had the upper hand, and smugly took credit for it to Concubine Jia: "My Lady, look! Liu Ronghua knows she is in the wrong, and she has shrunk her head like a resting bird! You don't even listen to her, her excuses really don't make sense! No matter how unique your courtyard is, it's not Xuanxiao Danque, and you can't let a living person be trapped in Pantao Garden like the Seven Fairies by Sun Wukong?"

Wu Jiayan's face turned even darker before he could say anything.

The concubines with a little seniority all felt uneasy, for they all knew that apart from her position as a noble concubine and the honor of her mother's family, what Noble Concubine Jia was most proud of was the Chitang Garden which she had renovated. Yang Cainu's words were like flattery that went against the grain.

The new concubines also had their own interesting expressions. Even if they didn't know that the Imperial Concubine valued Chitang Garden, they could see that Yang Cainu's words had offended the Imperial Concubine. If she didn't restrain herself, she would be in big trouble.

Everyone thought the same thing: they thought she would be as cunning as her stand-up comedy, but she turned out to be a fool. It can be seen that verbal skills have nothing to do with emotional intelligence, and a sharp-tongued person may also be a blockhead.

Concubine Jia was not as lenient as Concubine Xian. She never knew how to "forgive others when you can". Everyone in the palace had heard of her reputation for being mean. In addition, she was quite vindictive. Yang Cainu had provoked her this time. Even if the punishment given by Concubine Jia today was light, she would not have an easy life in the future.

When everyone was thinking their own thoughts, Concubine Jia finally spoke.

"It's noisy."

With just two words, the whole hall fell silent.

Lin Xiuqing was afraid that the imperial concubine would ask questions, so she quickly took the lead and said, "The time has come. I would like to pay my respects to the imperial concubine. May your majesty be blessed."

After Lin Xiuqing, all the concubines said in unison: "Greetings, De'an."

After saying this, everyone bowed and greeted each other. Wu Jiayan's expression lightened up a little, and he waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down.

"Today is the first time I have met all of you new sisters. Your Majesty has good eyesight. All of you sisters are pretty and talented. I hope that you can get along well with each other, obey the rules, and serve Your Majesty obediently in the future."

Wu Jiayan's eyes fell on the newlyweds, and although he spoke words of blessing, everyone could sense a warning in his words.

"Since there is no empress in the palace, I have the power to govern the six palaces. Although the back garden has little to do with the previous dynasty, it is not a place outside the law. Everyone, please remember that the words and deeds of the empress and concubines are related to the face of the emperor and the ancient dynasty. From now on, you must be careful in what you say and do, do not speak frivolously, do not do immoral things, and do not cross the threshold of the national law."

"If there were any mistakes or omissions in the past, just think that I have not yet made it clear. Today, I have spoken, and if anyone dares to go against the wind, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship between sisters."

While saying this, Wu Jiayan kept looking at Yang Luoxiu, but she seemed unaware.

"We will abide by the palace rules. Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up and saluted.

Su Feiran hadn't even sat down to have a sip of tea when he saw everyone standing up. He hurriedly put down his teacup and bowed like everyone else.

"No gift."

"Thank you, noble concubine."

Everyone sat back in their chairs.

Su Feiran was very fed up with red tape and didn't want to listen to Wu Jiayan's nagging. He just drank tea and did nothing.

Seeing her master drinking tea without any effort and finishing the whole pot, Yuxiao knew that she didn't want to listen. She was very tactful and secretly brought a plate of snacks to let her master continue to while away the time.

Su Feiran heard a rustling sound beside him, and when he glanced at it, he saw a plate of exquisite pastries! Moreover, Yu Xiao had specially chosen pastries that would be inconspicuous to eat, not only would they make little noise and taste decent, but they would also not be discovered.

What a good comrade! Look at me more!

Su Feiran gave a thumbs up in his heart.

There are many kinds of snacks on this plate, including pea yellow, yam cake, mint jelly, and Su Feiran’s favorite osmanthus cake.

Su Feiran looked at the plate with his eyes almost falling out.

Wu Jiayan was talking nonstop and eloquently in front of the hall, while Su Feiran was eating nonstop and drooling in the audience.

There are many kinds of snacks in this plate, including pea yellow, yam cake, and mint jelly.

Wu Jiayan spoke in front of the hall about being careful about jealousy and harming others, while Su Feiran spoke in the audience about being careful about eating too much and becoming fat.

This plate contains snacks, including pea yellow and yam cake.

Wu Jiayan mentioned in front of the palace that the concubines must listen to the instructions of the teaching nanny and must not let the emperor spend a long and tasteless night. Su Feiran was eating with relish in the audience, but he choked a little on the dry snacks, so he asked Yuxiao to bring another pot of tea.

This plate contains snacks, including pea yellow.

When the plate was empty, Su Feiran picked up the last piece of pea yellow with two fingers and put it into his mouth with satisfaction.

Wu Jiayan could no longer bear it and angrily said, "Liu Ronghua! If you want to eat, just eat. Can you please stop smacking your lips?"
