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

As for the concubines, they tried their best to please Xie Yu, so Emperor Xie Yu naturally lived a more comfortable life.

He was generous in rewarding those who slept well with him, and even promoted the positions of two of them.

The concubine Yue lives in the side hall with Concubine Wu, who has been in the palace for many years but is not very favored.

This time, she got the chance to sleep with Xie Yu, and she caught his eye with her excellent pipa playing. In the past few days, Xie Yu also summoned her to accompany him twice.

Another one was the noble lady Li, who entered the palace the year before last. She was usually cautious and gentle in the palace. After serving him once, she was forgotten by Xie Yu. After serving him this time, she was promoted to a noble lady the next day.

Zhonghe Palace

Lin Junxue glanced at Zhu Qing, who was standing next to her with a flattering look on his face, and slowly flipped through the files in the Jingshifang. Then, she placed them on the table.

She said, "For the next month, we will continue to arrange the sleeping arrangements according to the status of the servants."

Zhu Qing hurriedly said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I understand. Your Majesty arranged the sleeping companions according to their status. This is really wise."

Lin Junxue had no reaction to Zhu Qing's flattery.

Qiao Xin added a cup of tea and served it with both hands

Lin Junxue picked up the teacup and said calmly, "I am also tired today, you go down first."

After Zhu Qing left, Dan Zhen said, "Your Majesty, this Zhu Qing used to flatter the Queen, but now he wants to please you. This mean look is really annoying."

Guyu was checking the Shu brocade that had just been delivered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Now all the good things from the Imperial Household Department are sent to the Zhonghe Palace first.

Guyu said, "It's no wonder that Sister Danzhen said that since Xianya Palace was banned, Zhu Qing has been coming here every now and then to report on the concubines' sleeping situation. I feel exhausted watching him trying every way to please you."

Qiaoxin came over

"Your Majesty, the Shu brocade sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs today has several more colors than before. How do you think we should distribute it?"

Lin Junxue put down the book in her hand, glanced at the Shu brocade on the table, and nodded slightly.

"There are too many colors, so you can keep some and give the rest to Lady Wu and Lady Li, and have them make more tailor-made clothes. The emperor also likes it. There is also a piece of smoky blue. I see that Concubine Mi likes this color, so I will send it to Chenguang Palace."

In the past two months, the harem has undergone many changes without anyone noticing.

For example, Wu Cairen and Li Guiren, these two people have been favored by Xie Yu recently after serving him in bed.

For example, Yuepin, Sun Shunyi and other old ladies in the palace had a much better life in the harem after serving the emperor in bed, and the power structure in the harem has been changed.

Furthermore, regardless of whether they were favored or not, Lin Junxue always asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to not shortchange the palaces in their share, and she was not stingy in giving rewards to the palaces.

The atmosphere in the entire harem is now better than ever.

When greeting each other in daily life, the atmosphere is more harmonious and there are fewer sour words and comments.

Since there is no so-called exclusive favor, the opportunities to sleep with the emperor are arranged according to one's status.

Even though everyone will secretly use some means to win favor, it is still harmless and peaceful at present.

Lin Junxue's position as queen was also consolidated invisibly. She was no longer the queen in name only.

The most important point is that Xie Yu stayed in Zhonghe Palace except on the first and fifteenth days of this month.

At other times, he would come to Zhonghe Palace every now and then to sit and receive rewards constantly. Any good things would be delivered to Zhonghe Palace as soon as possible.

Xie Yu's favor and attention to Lin Junxue made the concubines in the harem no longer dare to act presumptuously as before, and even Sun Manrou restrained her temper.

Lin Junxue regained power over the six palaces, cleaned up the mess left by Chen Xier with thundering means, and sorted out all the accounts.

After Xie Yu knew about this, he praised her highly and approved even more of Lin Junxue's method of managing the harem.

Lin Junxue has completely grasped the power of the six palaces in her hands, and the six palaces are convinced

Qiaoxin puts away his thoughts

"My lady, I will ask Xiao Gongzi to deliver it to these palaces."

Lin Junxue said "hmm" calmly, and then said, "By the way, is today the day when Concubine Chen invites the harem to watch a play?"

Danzhen steps forward

"Your Majesty, it was today, in Tinghua Pavilion, it seemed that except for Concubine Mi, all the ladies in the harem were there, it was quite lively."

Sun Manrou also sent someone to invite Lin Junxue, but Lin Junxue declined.

Because she knew in her heart that the Concubine Chen was inviting everyone to listen to the music, but in fact she was just trying to warn the most disfavored people, Li Guiren and Wu Cairen.

If she, the queen, went to this play, how would Sun Manrou show off her power as the concubine?

Concubine Mi also saw it clearly, so she didn't go. Since neither she nor Concubine Mi went, Sun Manrou had the highest position.

Guyu said, "Your Majesty, this Concubine Chen is usually arrogant and domineering. Today, please watch the show. The harem is saying that the youngest brother of Concubine Chen's mother's family has made military achievements, and I heard that the emperor is going to give him a higher title. If the Sun family is given a higher title, Concubine Chen's position in the harem will be more stable. I'm afraid she will be even more domineering."

Lin Junxue flipped through the pages of the book while casually saying, "The Sun family has won several victories recently, which is indeed very gratifying. Xuanyuan has been restless in the past two years, and the emperor has always wanted to intimidate them. Now, Xuanyuan has submitted a letter of surrender, and the emperor is happy. It is only natural that the Sun family should be given a higher title. The reason why Concubine Chen dares to be so domineering in the harem is because of her family's efforts."

If a concubine wants to gain a foothold in a good harem, she must either be favored and help her mother's family, or her mother's family must be powerful and help the concubines.

Chen Xier has no one to help her, so she is the former, while Sun Manrou is the latter.

The voice just fell

Xiao Gongzi's voice came from the door, "My Lady, something happened in Tinghua Pavilion."

Tinghua Pavilion

Sun Manrou sat on a high seat, looking at Concubine Li who was kneeling on the ground.

She said angrily, "What a noble lady Li is! She is so favored by the emperor that she even ignores me."

Although Li Guiren's appearance was not outstanding, she was gentle and thoughtful, and quite talented. A few days ago, her beautiful calligraphy won the favor of Xie Yu.

Yesterday, Xie Yu summoned her to accompany the emperor to Taiwu Palace.

Sun Manrou went to Taiwu Palace to deliver soup yesterday and happened to meet Li Guiren at the door. Therefore, she held a grudge against Li Guiren in her heart. Today, she found an excuse to vent her anger.

Because Concubine Li was wearing the same color dress as her today, Sun Manrou said a few words in public.

Concubine Li just said something back, but Sun Manrou became extremely angry.

What was originally a peaceful music-listening banquet had now turned into such a confrontational situation, and the other concubines did not dare to say a word.

Recently, Sun Manrou has been in high spirits, so no one dared to plead for mercy, and no one wanted to bring bad luck upon herself.

Concubine Yue said, "Lady Li, I didn't say anything to you. The Empress Chen only said a few words to you, but you contradicted her in public. It's really inappropriate."

As for why Concubine Yue spoke at this time? It was because she had recently joined Concubine Chen, and the two were in the same camp.

Recently, Concubine Yue always goes to Sun Manrou's palace to sit for a while.
