Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Chen Xier looked at Lin Junxue proudly, but saw indifference in Lin Junxue's eyes, and even a hint of disdainful smile flashed at the corner of her mouth.

"Imperial Concubine Xi, you have been favored for so many years, I am afraid you have forgotten what kind of person the emperor is? In the emperor's heart, the royal family's reputation is more important than anything else. Does the emperor care about his relationship with you? The emperor is just doing it for face. The imperial concubine he personally appointed, the woman he has favored for so many years, is still so shallow. She colluded with the deputy chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and embezzled tens of thousands of taels of silver. Do you think the emperor will publicly disclose the account book and bring shame to himself and the royal family?"

Lin Junxue's words, one after another, pierced Chen Xier's heart. She stared at Lin Junxue with unwillingness, but was unable to refute a word.

Because she knew in her heart that Lin Junxue was right, and the emperor was more trying to save his own face.

Lin Junxue stretched out her hand and lifted Chen Xier's face with her armor.

Chen Xier wanted to hide, but was held by Lin Junxue and could not move.

Zi Shuang wanted to call for help when seeing this, but Qiao Xin gave her a sharp look, and Zi Shuang became scared and dared not speak.

Lin Junxue stared into Chen Xier's eyes and spoke slowly

"Noble Concubine Xi, the fight will not end until you die. Remember what I said."

The light words "fight until death" made Chen Xier's pupils shrink slightly.

Lin Junxue let go of her hand and looked down at Chen Xier.

She said calmly, "Come here, send Concubine Xi back to Xian Ya Palace. Seal the Xian Ya Palace and no one is allowed to step out of the palace gate of Xian Ya Palace."

Chen Xier looked at Lin Junxue fiercely

"Lin Junxue, have you been planning this since the day the Emperor gave me the power to assist in managing the six palaces? Right?"

Lin Junxue smiled faintly and did not answer Chen Xier's words. Then, she left with Qiao Xin, leaving only Chen Xier. She looked at Lin Junxue's receding back with resentment and unwillingness on her face.

night

Lin Junxue had the palace gates locked early, and today, Xie Yu did not turn over the names of any concubines.

Such a mess happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Xie Yu has no intention of flipping the cards?

However, all the concubines in the harem were happy. Once Chen Xier was under house arrest, it meant that everyone would be able to share Chen Xier's favor in the next three months.

In the entire harem, only the Xian'ya Palace has been sealed. It is extremely deserted, while all the other palaces are very bustling.

Zhonghe Palace

Lin Junxue asked Danzhen to give rewards to the eunuchs and palace maids in Zhonghe Palace. The whole Zhonghe Palace was full of laughter and joy.

In the bedroom, Lin Junxue changed into pajamas and asked Guyu to make some sour jujube cakes and dried fruits.

Today, she planned to appreciate the moon, and Qiao Xin walked in with a smile on her face.

"My lady, these people here are very happy to have received the reward."

Lin Junxue put down the book, picked up the fan on the table, and fanned

"Just be happy. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a good day. The palace maids and eunuchs all left home early. They all have hard lives. From now on, during festivals, give some rewards to make everyone feel better."

Qiao Xin nodded, "Your Majesty is kind, I will remember this."

Guyu and Danzhen walked in side by side, holding bowls of ice, as well as freshly made dried plums, moon cakes, and various pastries.

Dan Zhen said, "Your Majesty, today, the Emperor ordered the confinement of Imperial Concubine Xi. It feels so good to think about it. I now remember the time when you were falsely accused and confined, and Imperial Concubine Xi came to our Zhonghe Palace in a pretentious manner to provoke you. Now I am repaying you with my own revenge."

Qiao Xin and Gu Yu looked at each other. The Queen's move was indeed a brilliant one. Not only did she completely eliminate Zhang Fufa, the confidant of Imperial Concubine Xi in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but she also put Imperial Concubine Xi under house arrest.

This was the first time in recent years that the Emperor had insulted Imperial Concubine Xi in front of everyone.

After this incident, Imperial Concubine Xi was no longer as popular in the eyes of the Emperor as before.

There was no happy expression on Lin Junxue's face.

Today's game was indeed planned by her from beginning to end. Her game had already begun when she proposed that Xie Yu grant Chen Xier the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

During this period, she asked Xiao Cheng to pretend to give in in front of Zhang Fufa, who was in power, so as to relax Zhang Fufa's vigilance.

At the appropriate time, Xiao Cheng handed the power back to Zhang Fufa.

Zhang Fufa became more and more rampant because Chen Xier got the power to assist in managing the six palaces. In addition, Xiao Cheng's concessions and treachery made Zhang Fufa act without scruples. He frequently resold the treasures in the palace and embezzled money.

Both Chen Xier and Zhang Fufa thought everything was perfect.

Because Lin Junxue had been staying in Zhonghe Palace, Chen Xier gradually relaxed her vigilance.

In this way, during this period of time, Chen Xier received more and more silver from Zhang Fufa as a filial gift.

Although Xiao Cheng seemed to be backing down step by step, he had actually been collecting evidence. Finally, two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Cheng got the account book and immediately went to Zhonghe Palace to report the matter.

Lin Junxue asked Xiao Cheng to keep his troops in place and wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival today.

Moreover, the collar around the dancer's neck was also arranged by Xiao Cheng.

Even the so-called screen dance was specially arranged by Ye Yushuang.

The news that the screen dance was popular among the people reached Chen Xier's ears without making any noise.

She knew that Chen Xier wanted to use this Mid-Autumn family dinner to demonstrate her ability to govern the harem, so as to completely gain the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

The family dinner naturally had to be a bit innovative to make Xie Yu happy, and this novel screen dance would naturally be used as a secret weapon by Chen Xier, and all of this was indeed in her plan.

Lin Junxue raised her eyes and looked at the moon in the sky. The moon was bright and clear in the sky.

It would be great if this person could be as flawless as the bright moon, but unfortunately, her heart is dark!

Second day

When everyone was paying their respects, they were in tacit agreement and no one mentioned the fact that Chen Xier was confined yesterday. Even Sun Manrou, who always loved to take advantage of others' misfortunes, did not say anything.

The atmosphere in Zhonghe Palace was so harmonious for the first time. As for why, everyone knew it.

Without Imperial Concubine Xi, the other concubines in the harem naturally have more opportunities to sleep with the emperor. Who wouldn't be happy?

Lin Junxue sat on a high seat, looking at the concubines below who could hardly hide their joy on their faces, put down her teacup, and said slowly, "Today, if there is nothing else, let's go."

Everyone stood up and saluted. When all the concubines had left Zhonghe Palace, Qiao Xin and Xiao Cheng came in.

Yesterday, after Zhang Fufa was beaten to death, the power of the Imperial Household Department returned to Xiao Cheng's hands.

Xiao Cheng dealt with the confidants left behind by Zhang Fufa in a swift and decisive manner.

However, just one night later, Xiao Cheng once again took charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and promoted Xiao Xiazi.

Xiao Cheng greeted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I came here today to ask you, Imperial Concubine Xi has been confined to the Xian'e Palace, does the Ministry of Internal Affairs need to make any special arrangements?"

Chen Xier was confined to her house. Was she doing well or not? Now it all depended on the words of the queen, Lin Junxue.

Lin Junxue looked at Xiao Cheng below, her eyes slightly raised

"Imperial Concubine Xi is an imperial concubine. Even if she is under house arrest, her position is still here. Not only should everything remain the same, but it should be even better than before. She should be served with delicious food and drink. If the people in the Xian Ya Palace want anything, give it to her."
