The maidservant is too charming. I want to help her become the queen.

Lu Panpan had not yet recovered from her shock. She covered her head which had just been hit by the guards and did not dare to look up at Lu Qingqing.

At this time, Lu Qingqing was leaning leisurely on the chaise longue, sipping a sip of scented tea.

"What are you afraid to see? Raise your head!"

"Lu Panpan, I know it's you!"

When Lu Panpan heard her sister calling her by her name, she felt a chill running down her neck to her tailbone.

She raised her head shudderingly, her eyes wandering. From the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Qingqing leaning on the couch, feeling a strong sense of oppression.

Lu Panpan's eyes were full of fear.

She had tried to harm Lu Qingqing several times but failed, and today she finally fell into her hands. She was afraid that she would not consider the sisterhood and could not save herself.

Lu Qingqing saw her hesitation and said:

"You and I are blood sisters. I don't want to beat around the bush with you tonight, so I'll cut to the chase."

"I know that your purpose for entering the palace is not pure, but I don't know whether it was the Queen or the Concubine who asked you to come in."

"But no matter who you are, I want you to be mine from now on. Be my spy and keep an eye on their movements for me."

Lu Panpan's eyes rolled around and she gritted her teeth.

"no!"

"How can I, Lu Panpan, be the kind of person who sells out my master for fame and fortune! How dare you say that you are my blood sister? I want to win the emperor's favor, why don't you help me?!"

Lu Qingqing sneered and stared at Lu Panpan who was sitting on the ground madly.

"I don't know what your purpose is in seeking favor. If you want to be a concubine, do you think you can win over me in terms of favor?"

Hearing this, Lu Panpan lowered her head in shame.

When she first entered the palace, she was indeed very confident in herself, thinking that she was young and beautiful and would definitely be able to surpass her sister.

However, during this period of time, she saw how affectionate the emperor was with her sister, and she knew that her idea of ​​replacing him was basically impossible.

She remained silent.

Lu Qingqing knew that these words had directly hit Lu Panpan's heart.

Although Lu Panpan is the original owner's sister, they didn't spend much time together and really have no feelings for each other.

If she wants to win him over, she can only succeed by attacking his mind.

"In that case, you might as well work for me instead of working for others."

"I still say the same thing. You and I are blood sisters. If you are loyal to me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Having said that, Lu Qingqing waved her hand and signaled Xiaotao to take out the silver from the valuables she had brought with her.

Lu Qingqing smiled and said:

"You bought the heartbreak grass from the eunuch in charge. It must have cost you a lot of money, right?"

Lu Panpan's heart trembled, and she felt more and more scared. She didn't expect her sister to know about the heartbreak grass, so she could only stammer in her answer.

"Yes."

Lu Qingqing pursued the victory.

"Look at your frail body. You are much thinner than when you first entered the palace. I guess you haven't been doing well recently."

"Xiao Tao, give her five taels of silver."

Xiaotao stuffed the silver into Lu Panpan's hand.

Lu Panpan didn't dare to take it. Her dirty little bucket was trembling and her face was full of resistance.

The road is clear and unhurried.

"Give her another five taels."

So, Xiaotao put another five taels of silver in front of Lu Panpan.

Lu Panpan suddenly turned his head away and said viciously:

"I have my own ambitions, and I won't be bought off by your little money!"

Lu Qingqing showed a playful smile.

"Xiao Tao, take out another forty taels."

What is now placed in front of Lu Panpan is a full fifty taels of silver!

But she still shook her head.

Although Lu Panpan was somewhat shaken, she did not want to be defeated so early, so she gritted her teeth and said:

"Lu Qingqing, stop dreaming. I won't agree to your request!"

However, what Lu Qingqing lacked the most was money. She had the salary she received as a concubine, and also the reward from Li Xuansheng.

Moreover, since she started running the Mixue Ice Palace, based on the estimated revenue from the trial operation in the past few days, this shop in the palace alone has an annual net revenue of three to four hundred taels. She also plans to open franchise stores outside the palace.

This little money is a drop in the bucket for her.

However, the annual allowance for palace maids was no more than eight taels of silver, and the allowance for noble ladies was only fifty taels.

The fifty taels of silver in front of Lu Panpan were enough for a nobleman's annual salary.

Seeing Lu Panpan's determined expression, she hooked her finger and said to Xiao Tao:

"Since Miss Panpan doesn't take this money seriously, Xiaotao, take back the ten taels of silver."

As soon as Lu Qingqing finished speaking, Xiao Tao immediately took action and quickly took away the ten taels of silver in front of Lu Panpan. Now there were only forty cars left in front of her.

Lu Panpan’s eyes suddenly widened into a wide circle, she was dumbfounded, and opened her mouth, but no words came out.

She thought Lu Qingqing would ask for a higher price, but why didn't she play by the rules and took the money away instead?

She wanted to continue hesitating.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qingqing didn't give her any time and continued:

"It seems that Miss Panpan doesn't need so much."

"Xiao Tao, take another ten taels."

Lu Panpan watched as fifty taels of silver turned into forty taels, and then forty taels of silver turned into thirty taels.

If she didn't show her loyalty, she would not even get the thirty taels of silver if she hesitated for a moment.

Lu Qingqing is an expert at psychological warfare. She wants to kill people bit by bit and break down Lu Panpan's defenses step by step.

Sure enough, before Lu Qingqing opened her mouth again, Lu Panpan took the lead and grabbed the remaining thirty taels of silver tightly in her arms like a hungry wolf.

"Sister, don't take the silver."

"I promise you, isn't that enough?"

In fact, Lu Panpan had long been unwilling to continue working for Concubine Xian and the Queen.

The empress was far away in the Forbidden City and could not protect her in the palace. After she fell into poverty, she went to the virtuous concubine for help, but the virtuous concubine ignored her.

To show his sincerity, Lu Panpan kowtowed three times to Lu Qingqing who was sitting on the chaise longue.

Lu Qingqing saw her defenseless look and knew that she had shaken her will.

Next, she needs to continue playing the family card and strike while the iron is hot to consolidate this new ally.

Lu Qingqing stood up from the couch, bent down to help Lu Panpan up, tears welled up in her eyes, and she spoke to her in a gentle voice:

"Pan Pan, you are my biological sister. I don't want you to suffer, and I don't want to be your enemy."

"If you stay with me, I will give you a hundred taels, not to mention the thirty taels."

"We two sisters can continue to live in the palace with each other's support, which can also comfort our parents' spirits in heaven."

Lu Panpan was moved by Lu Qingqing's words.

She felt sad and burst into tears.

Yes, what's the good of fighting for favor with your sister to the death just to get support from a man?

But my sister will give me one hundred taels of silver!

It is equivalent to the annual salary of a concubine. With her own skills, even if she becomes a concubine, she will definitely not be able to climb to the position of concubine.

It is better to cling to your sister's thigh and become a small rich woman. This is much more satisfying than being a concubine who is servile and submissive in front of the emperor!

Thinking of this, Lu Panpan nodded firmly at Lu Qingqing.

"Sister, I am willing to follow you!"
