I just want to rob you of your luck

The female members were arranged in a corridor pavilion beside the Lotus Lake, which is the best place to appreciate the lotus.

All the concubines in the harem gathered here today.

Lin Jiuer was naturally among them, but she didn't want to join in the fun and sat in a corner far away looking at the lotus flowers.

Everyone in the pavilion was dressed up beautifully, chatting and drinking tea together, and the atmosphere was quite good.

At this time, a woman's voice came: "It's a bit boring for us to just admire the lotus here. You may not know that our Concubine Wan was once a famous Qingyi in Kyoto. Why don't we let her perform a piece to liven up the atmosphere?"

Upon hearing this, Yuling and Yuyao looked at the person who spoke angrily.

Yuling introduced Lin Jiuer in a low voice: "The person who spoke is Concubine An. She has always been a supporter of Concubine Zhao."

Lin Jiuer sneered and realized something in her mind. It seemed that Concubine Zhao had bad intentions in today's lotus viewing banquet.

After Anpin finished speaking, another beautiful woman also echoed: "Sister Anpin is right. Your Majesty also likes to listen to Concubine Wan's music the most. I wonder if our guests today are lucky enough to listen to Concubine Wan's heavenly music?"

Yuyao reminded, "This is Concubine Li, and she always follows Concubine Zhao's lead."

Before Lin Jiuer could speak, a woman's voice said calmly, "The musicians in the palace have also prepared a program today. They are all songs that Your Majesty likes. Why don't we all enjoy them together?"

Lin Jiuer looked in the direction of the voice and Yuling whispered, "This is Concubine Rong, the biological mother of the eldest prince."

The woman had a gentle appearance and spoke in a soft voice, and seemed to have a good temper.

However, by saying this, she indirectly offended Concubine Zhao and ruined her plan to humiliate Lin Jiuer.

No matter what her purpose was, Lin Jiuer accepted her favor.

However, Concubine Zhao obviously did not want to let Lin Jiuer go.

She spoke lazily, looking at Lin Jiuer with condescending disdain: "Since everyone wants to appreciate the heavenly music of Concubine Wan, Concubine Wan should not spoil everyone's fun, right?"

Lin Jiuer looked at her without fear, her eyes calm and composed.

"I am now your Majesty's noble lady, and it is my duty to perform for your Majesty and please him.

But today, Concubine An, Concubine Li, and Concubine Zhao insisted on forcing me to perform for the guests and teased me like an actor. If Your Majesty knew about this, how would you feel? "

Naturally, Concubine An and Concubine Li were instructed by Concubine Zhao to say this deliberately to embarrass Lin Jiuer.

Now when they heard her mention His Majesty, both of them looked a little embarrassed and scared.

His Majesty now favors Concubine Wan almost exclusively, and even Concubine Zhao was demoted to the position of concubine because she made things difficult for her.

If His Majesty knew today that they were the first to make things difficult for Concubine Wan, would they also be punished by His Majesty?

Concubine Zhao had an angry look on her face: "Noble Lady Wan is indeed arrogant because of her favor. We just meant well and praised your singing and wanted to give you a chance to show off. Why are you blaming me for it?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well, so I'll take my leave now."

Lin Jiuer was too lazy to argue. It would be boring to stay there and be treated like a monkey.

Having said that, she stood up and walked out of the pavilion with her maid.

Concubine Zhao snorted coldly: "She relies on your majesty's favor to be lawless."

Everyone thought, she is a favorite concubine after all, and it is really too much to force her to sing for the guests.

However, no one dared to say anything. After all, Princess Zhao's mother's family was too powerful.

Soon a group of court musicians came and began to perform, and everyone soon forgot about the previous episode.

Concubine Zhao asked Yuemei behind her: "How are things arranged?"

Yuemei said tangledly: "It has been arranged."

She really wanted to persuade Concubine Zhao not to be stubborn anymore, but she knew her master's temper.

She was just a servant and could only follow orders.

Lin Jiuer took Yuling and Yuyao and walked slowly along the edge of the Lotus Lake.

I saw a few boys playing Cuju on the grass not far away, and a few girls gathered together to play the handkerchief throwing game.

There were several princes and princesses she had met, as well as a few who were probably the children of those ministers.

At this time, she saw two palace maids walking towards her from a distance, and the ball was kicked to the palace maids' side.

A boy ran over to chase her and accidentally bumped into the palace maid.

She was helped by the palace maids, and then the two palace maids quickly left.

Lin Jiuer couldn't help but think of the carefree life she had as a child in modern times.

At that time, my mother was still alive and she and my father treated each other with respect. But after the family made some money from business, everything changed.

It should be said that her father had changed. He often stayed out all night on the pretext of social engagements. Later, quarrels between her parents became commonplace. Only then did she learn that her father actually had a woman outside.

Is it really true that when women become bad they have money, and when men become rich they become bad?

At this time, Lin Jiuer unknowingly walked to a quiet path. She sighed and wanted to go back to Changle Palace to rest.

When I turned around, I saw the two maids behind me lying on the ground.

Two people dressed as palace maids looked at her with vicious expressions.

Lin Jiuer could tell something was wrong at first glance. Although these two men were not tall and looked very similar to women, their faces were still a little rough.

These two people are eunuchs!

"You were sent by Concubine Zhao, right?"

The two men's expressions froze. They didn't expect that she would guess the person behind the scenes so quickly.

In this case, this woman cannot be kept.

Lin Jiuer directly used the control talisman on one of them.

The man paused, then turned around and grabbed the other man's neck.

The other man looked at him in disbelief and said angrily, "You bastard, you actually betrayed your master? Don't you care about your family's life or death?"

The man didn't say anything and continued to wrestle with the other man. Because he took the initiative, he quickly knocked the other man unconscious.

Lin Jiuer controlled the man and made him grab her and push her into the Lotus Lake.

Then the man ran straight into a tree, with just enough force to make the man faint but the accident was not fatal.

Lin Jiuer can swim, and is even very good at it, but her original owner can't, so she arranged it this way on purpose.

Since Concubine Zhao wanted to kill her, she might as well take advantage of the situation and make the matter bigger.

Just now she had been screaming all the way, the two of them made a lot of noise, and then they fell into the Lotus Lake.

It soon attracted the attention of the patrolling guards.

When they got closer, they saw a woman struggling in the lake and about to drown.

The guards were in a dilemma, as those who came here today were all officials' families, and it was not easy for them to go into the water to rescue them.

If it is not handled properly, the woman's reputation will be ruined.

At this time, the female relatives and concubines who were admiring the lotus also heard the noise and came over.

Princess Zhao recognized Lin Jiuer and was furious. How could the person her father had arranged be so useless? How come she didn't die?

"Why are you still standing there, guard? Hurry up and go down to save them!" she shouted.

Concubine Rong recognized at a glance that the person in the water was Concubine Wan, and she quickly ordered the palace maid who could swim to go down and rescue her.

Then he gave a few instructions to another palace maid, and that palace maid quickly left the crowd.
