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

Concubine Li came to Zhonghe Palace very early, and to show her sincerity, she waited respectfully in the main hall.

When Lin Junxue came out, Li Guiren stood up and politely bowed to her.

"May the Queen be blessed with good health and happiness"

Lin Junxue took the tea handed over by Guyu, looked at Li Guiren, and said softly, "Get up, Li Guiren, Danzhen, serve Li Guiren Guzhu purple bamboo shoots."

Concubine Li was flattered that Lin Junxue remembered such a small thing as her liking to drink Guzhu Zisun.

I just mentioned it casually in public, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to take it to heart.

Concubine Li stood up and wanted to express her gratitude, but Lin Junxue waved her hand.

"No need to thank me. If you think it's good, I'll ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send you more tomorrow."

Li Guiren sat down

"Thank you, Queen, for thinking of me. I came here today to thank you for helping me yesterday."

Lin Junxue put down the teacup

"The Concubine Chen has a flamboyant personality. During this period, you and Concubine Wu have been favored by the Emperor. She must have felt uncomfortable, so she made such a scene yesterday. You don't have to take it to heart. I have punished her, and I believe she will be more restrained. You don't have to worry."

Li Guiren nodded when she heard this.

"Your Majesty, you are right. I will avoid any conflicts with Your Majesty in the future. Yesterday, I couldn't help myself, and now I feel a little scared when I think about it."

Lin Junxue curled her lips, thinking to herself that this Concubine Li was a person who knew when to advance and when to retreat.

Li Guiren continued, "However, I still feel that something is wrong with what happened yesterday. How could it be such a coincidence that the new clothes sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were made of the same material as the Concubine Chen's? I don't know if I am overthinking this matter."

Lin Junxue narrowed her eyes slightly. There was not a trace of emotion in them, but a bottomless depth.

Her eyes fell on Li Guiren, she paused for a few seconds, and then spoke lightly.

"It was a coincidence that the Imperial Household Department sent you this item, but whether you wear this dress or not is not something the Imperial Household Department can decide. Since you suspect it's not a coincidence, check around yourself."

When Concubine Li heard this, her heart trembled, her face changed slightly, and then she nodded solemnly.

"Your Highness, I understand what you mean. Thank you for your advice."

Concubine Li stayed in Zhonghe Palace for an hour before leaving.

At about the same time, Sun Manrou also walked out of Taiwu Hall with red eyes.

The news quickly spread throughout the harem, and everyone was gloating. They probably all guessed why.

The Concubine Chen just wanted to make a scene with the Emperor and ask the Empress to revoke the punishment, but in the end she ended up being humiliated and the Emperor did not agree at all.

Zhonghe Palace

Lin Junxue stood in the courtyard, slowly feeding the koi in the pond.

Just now, Xie Yu had rewarded a lot of good things, and now Xie Yu would send things to Zhonghe Palace every few days.

Everyone in the harem has been jealous too many times. Ever since Imperial Concubine Xi was confined to her house, the Emperor has let the Empress pick out all the good things first.

Qiao Xin stepped forward and said, "My Lady, is this koi a little too fat?"

Danzhen and Guyu looked at each other and tried not to smile.

Your Majesty, you are not raising koi, you are clearly raising pigs!

Lin Junxue looked at the plump koi in the pond and frowned slightly.

"Yes, he is a little fat. So, I won't feed him for the next two days."

Qiao Xin stepped forward and took the fish bowl from Lin Junxue's hand.

Next second

Xiao Gong Zicong walked in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the news just now is that after the Concubine Chen returned to the palace from Taiwu Palace, she dropped a lot of good things again."

Lin Junxue turned around and sat down, looking nonchalant.

"Sun Manrou thought that this was an excuse for me to punish her and not allow her to go on the royal hunting trip. Little did she know that this was the emperor's intention. She went to Taiwu Palace to plead for mercy, which was simply asking for trouble."

Guyu served the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and soybean cake that had just been made in the small kitchen and placed them on the table.

Lin Junxue picked up a piece, tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction.

"good"

Danzhen picked up the fan and said, "Your Majesty, I feel like you are trying to promote Concubine Li. This Concubine Li entered the palace through the selection three years ago and was given the title of Talented Lady. She has been keeping a low profile in the harem and rarely shows up. It was because of this time you arranged for her to sleep with the Emperor that she had the opportunity to get close to Him. Could she be a scheming person? I am afraid that if you promote her in the future, something will go wrong."

Lin Junxue picked up the handkerchief, wiped her hands slowly, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

She looked at Dan Zhen who was a little worried, and said calmly, "I am not promoting her, I just like her more. Recently, all the concubines in the harem have been treated equally. Can they finally keep the emperor and please him? It all depends on personal ability. The women in the harem who were not scheming would have been killed long ago, so scheming is not a problem. As I said, as long as they don't plot against me, they can compete for favor however they want. As the queen, I would rather see a hundred flowers blooming rather than a single flower blooming."

This is Lin Junxue’s view on palace fighting. She is not a real ancient person. Although she traveled to this ancient time and does not have a golden finger or a God’s perspective, she has also learned thousands of years of history and has more experience than the real ancient people.

She had no intention of playing any pure love game in this ancient dynasty, so, she would never fall in love with Xie Yu. Secondly, as for the so-called palace fighting, she had no intention of killing all the women in the harem. It was not impossible for them to live in harmony, but the premise was that no one would offend her.

In this harem, except for Chen Xier, the girls are fighting to the death, while the others are just taking things one step at a time.

As I said, we can only grope our way forward step by step.

Things in the palace are always changing, so who can say for sure what will happen tomorrow?

Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty is right. As the Empress of the Central Palace, you should be tolerant and tolerant in order to achieve long-term success. Moreover, Your Majesty, you promoted this noble lady Li. Even if she encounters any problems in the future, she should remember your kindness in promoting her. After all, she still owes you a debt of gratitude."

Lin Junxue nodded slightly.

At this moment, Xiao Xizi walked in from the door. Now in Zhonghe Palace, Xiao Xizi and Xiao Gongzi were both eunuchs in charge.

Greetings, Xiao Xizi

"Your Highness, just now, Concubine Li personally punished a palace maid. I heard that it was because the palace maid almost scalded Concubine Li when she served tea."

Lin Junxue narrowed her eyes slightly. Concubine Li acted quickly.

I just told her to check the people around them in the morning, and in the afternoon I dealt with a palace maid.

It was not a coincidence that Li Guiren and Chen Fei wore the same palace attire yesterday. I just wonder who in the harem was responsible for this?

This harem is getting more and more interesting the longer you stay in it, and they will use any means possible.

The person behind the scenes could also grasp the temper of Concubine Chen, knowing that she would definitely take advantage of this incident to get angry, and quietly plotted against Li Guiren and Concubine Chen, who had just gained favor.

However, the people behind the scenes never expected that Concubine Li had such a strong personality.

The women in the harem are really all hiding things more deeply than each other.
