Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Time passed day by day, and finally a grand palace banquet arrived. On this day, Ye Ling'er was wearing a gorgeous dress, with delicate makeup, and was beautiful. Her eyes were always on Ayiduo, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was planning some conspiracy.

When the music started, Ye Ling'er walked gracefully towards Ayiduo, smiled and stretched out her hand, inviting her to dance together. Ayiduo's heart sank, and she immediately understood Ye Ling'er's intention, but she still responded politely: "Okay!"

Following the rhythm of the music, the two began to dance. Ye Ling'er deliberately danced exaggeratedly, pushing Ayiduo to the edge of the stage. At this moment, she suddenly pretended to fall to the ground accidentally and screamed. Everyone looked at this scene in surprise, while Ayiduo stood there with a barely perceptible smile on her face.

Ye Ling'er got up in a panic, with a gleam of success in her eyes. She thought she had successfully embarrassed Ayiduo, but she didn't expect Ayiduo to be so smart and easily saw through her plan.

After the banquet, Ayiduo found Ye Ling'er and warned her coldly: "Don't play these tricks anymore, or you will suffer the consequences."

Ye Ling'er smiled disdainfully and retorted: "This time it was just an accident. You won't be so lucky next time."

Ayiduo frowned, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes. But she still tried to stay calm and said, "I just want to tell you that I am not easy to bully. If you keep pestering me like this, I don't mind taking some measures to protect myself." After that, she turned and left.

Ye Ling'er looked at Ayiduo's departing back, and a surge of anger and resentment surged in her heart. She secretly vowed to find a chance to take revenge.

However, the open and secret struggles between them have attracted the attention of Yang Yunxi, the imperial concubine who assists in the six palaces. She realized that this situation could not continue, so she decided to come forward and solve the problem herself.

"You are all the emperor's concubines, you should live in harmony and bring peace to the harem." Yunxi said earnestly. She knew that in the harem, concubines often fight for favor and intrigue, and such fights will only bring chaos and unrest to the palace. Therefore, she hopes that through her efforts, everyone can understand each other and live in harmony.

Under Yunxi's persuasion, Ye Ling'er and Ayiduo seemed to reconcile on the surface. They were no longer tit-for-tat like before, but began to try to communicate and exchange. However, this was only a superficial phenomenon, and in fact the competition between the two had not stopped.

Privately, Ye Ling'er still harbored a grudge against Ayiduo and kept an eye on her every move. Ayiduo was not to be outdone and also kept a close eye on Ye Ling'er's movements. Despite this, they tried to avoid showing hostility in public to avoid causing dissatisfaction to the emperor.

The struggle in the harem continues, and everyone is trying their best to win the emperor's favor. Ye Ling'er tries to attract the emperor's attention with her gentleness, thoughtfulness and charm; while Ayiduo tries to impress the emperor with her exotic, simple and straightforward image. In addition, other concubines have also joined this war without gunpowder, making the situation in the harem more complicated.

So, who will win the emperor's heart in the end? Only time can tell. In this ever-changing palace world, everyone has the potential to be the final winner.

As a bystander, Yunxi can only pray silently that the harem will be able to return to peace as soon as possible so that everyone can live a happy and fulfilling life.

The days passed in a seemingly peaceful state, but in fact everyone had their own thoughts and plans. On this day, an unexpected news broke the peace of the palace.

On this day, it was drizzling outside, and Yunxi was waiting for the emperor to review memorials in the palace. She stood quietly by the side, looking at the emperor intently, and occasionally handed him a cup of tea or snacks. The emperor was concentrating on reading each memorial and carefully commenting on it.

At this time, Eunuch Chen walked in. He held a letter in his hand and looked a little serious. After walking in, he glanced at Yunxi who was present, then bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, an old maid from the palace sent someone to deliver a letter."

The emperor looked up when he heard the voice, glanced at the letter in Eunuch Chen's hand, then lowered his head to deal with the memorial, and casually said, "Present it."

Eunuch Chen responded, then walked to the emperor and placed the letter on the table, then returned to his original position. He then looked at Yunxi, as if waiting for her to pick up the letter.

Seeing this, Yunxi walked up to pick up the envelope and opened it. There was only a note inside. She unfolded the note and read it carefully. After reading it, she frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

The emperor saw Yunxi's strange expression and suddenly felt puzzled. He frowned slightly and asked with a tone of dignity and concern, "What's going on?"

Yunxi hesitated for a moment. She knew that this matter was very serious, but she dared not conceal it. Finally, she made up her mind, handed the note to the emperor with trembling hands, and said softly, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

The emperor took the note, looked at it, and his face instantly became extremely gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. Then, he slammed the table hard, shaking the teacups on the table. He said angrily: "What does this palace steward want to do? How dare he be so bold!"

Yunxi was so frightened that she trembled all over and quickly knelt down to beg, "Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of your health!" She knew the emperor's temper very well and was afraid that he would get angry and hurt himself.

The emperor took a deep breath and tried to calm down. His chest rose and fell violently, and it was obvious that he was still suppressing his inner anger. After a while, he slowly said, "Help me up."

Yunxi quickly stood up and carefully held the emperor's arm. She could feel the emperor's body trembling slightly, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock.

The emperor stood up, his eyes flashing with determination and resoluteness, and began to pace back and forth in the room, the anger on his face not completely dissipated.

Yunxi looked at the emperor, secretly worried. She knew that this matter must be complicated and might cause a disturbance. But she didn't dare to express her opinion easily, and could only accompany the emperor silently. "Pass on my order and order the Minister of Justice to investigate this matter thoroughly." The emperor said firmly.

Yunxi was delighted. It seemed that the emperor was not blinded by anger, but chose to deal with it calmly. She thought to herself: "The emperor is indeed wise. He did not make a wrong decision because of a momentary anger. In this way, not only can we find out the truth, but also convince everyone in the harem."

A few days later, the results of the investigation came out. It turned out that the palace manager accepted bribes and secretly released a serious criminal, Zhu Cairen. This news shocked the entire palace.

The emperor was furious and ordered the eunuch to be thrown into prison to await his fate. His voice was full of majesty and anger: "How dare you let the criminal go right under my nose! This eunuch is so audacious!"

When the people in the harem learned about this, they were all very sad. They talked about the crime of the eunuch, and also praised the emperor's handling of the matter.

However, when the Minister of Justice interrogated him, the Eternal Palace Manager refused to plead guilty and even asked to see the Emperor in person to explain the whole story to him face to face...
