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

Sun Manrou hasn't dared to be as flamboyant as before these days.

Because Xie Yu seldom summoned her to sleep with him these days, and last time, the empress punished her by making her stay in the palace to copy scriptures during the royal hunting trip, the emperor has been treating her coldly ever since.

Sun Manrou had been in the harem for many years, and this was the first time that she had been humiliated in public by a noble.

Just now, several concubines who were speechless after being rebuked by Zhang Yuyan also stood up and complained to Lin Junxue.

on the subject

Lin Junxue listened quietly, with no expression on her face.

If she didn't laugh out loud now, it would not be in line with her character as the queen.

She really wanted to say a few words to Sun Manrou and the others. If you can't beat them, just stand up. If you can't argue with them, just shut up. What's the point of complaining?

for a while

Lin Junxue put down the teacup in her hand, neither lightly nor heavily.

However, Sun Manrou, who still wanted to complain, felt inexplicably nervous.

The next second, Lin Junxue's eyes swept over everyone indifferently.

Zhang Yuyan blinks her eyes

Oh my god, how come every move of the Queen is so beautiful?

She's not afraid at all

The system said that after her efforts, the Queen Mother’s favorability towards her had reached seven points.

System "The host feels good about himself..."

Lin Junxue said slowly, "Empress Chen, and you are all old people in the palace. Concubine Yan just served last night. Today, you are here to pay your respects. There is no need to say some words. The emperor was busy with the affairs of the court and worked hard every day. If the harem is still not peaceful, it will make the emperor worried. Well, let's stop here for today."

Lin Junxue brought up Xie Yu, which immediately made Sun Manrou and the others shut up, feeling embarrassed and not daring to say anything more.

After all, Sun Manrou and several concubines also knew that they were the ones who first taught Zhang Yuyan a lesson.

If this matter were to be brought before the Emperor, they would be in the wrong since Zhang Yuyan had just served him in the emperor's bedchamber.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Junxue waved her hand.

"Okay, let's all go down."

The concubines stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

The entrance of Zhonghe Palace

Sun Manrou stopped Zhang Yuyan who was about to leave, with a gloomy tone.

"Noble Lady Yan, you were so arrogant just now in Zhonghe Palace. Remember this and don't let me catch you doing anything wrong, otherwise I will never forgive you."

Zhang Yuyan looked at Sun Manrou who was speaking harshly to her, and she didn't care at all.

Does the Concubine Chen really think that these are just children playing house, and whoever speaks more harshly is the more powerful?

Not only was Zhang Yuyan not afraid, she also bowed to Sun Manrou in front of everyone, and her tone was extremely respectful.

"What the Empress Chen said is true. From now on, I will be extremely cautious and will never make any mistakes. If there are people with evil intentions who want to harm me, I will never tolerate it. I am a person of strong temper and would rather die in glory than live in disgrace."

When Sun Manrou heard this, she pointed her finger at Zhang Yuyan angrily.

Zhang Yuyan turned around and left without giving Sun Manrou any leniency.

The concubines behind were stunned and watched Zhang Yuyan walk away one by one.

Chen Mi and Li Shiwen saw this scene not far away.

Li Shiwen smiled and said, "Sister Mi Fei, today, I have finally seen what it means to have a powerful mouth. I am convinced by Concubine Yan's mouth."

Chen Mi looked at Sun Manrou's back, who was about to die of anger, and turned to look at Li Shiwen.

"This Concubine Yan is indeed an interesting person. What she said just now is impeccable. Even if she brings the incident to the Emperor, she is still right. She is also a smart person."

Li Shiwen nodded, and then Chen Mi expressed his concern for the baby in her belly.

The two chatted and left Zhonghe Palace together.

Zhonghe Palace

Hall

Lin Junxue took off her armor and planned to practice calligraphy. Qiaoxin and Guyu waited on her side.

As soon as she picked up the brush, Danzhen walked in from outside.

"My lady, there was a lot of noise outside our door just now."

Lin Junxue paused for a moment and looked at Danzhen

"Oh? What happened? Did Concubine Chen and Concubine Yan have a quarrel?"

Danzhen nodded and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you guessed it right. Just now at the palace gate, Concubine Chen said to Concubine Yan..."

After Danzhen finished speaking, Lin Junxue's lips slowly curled up into a meaningful smile.

This Concubine Yan is indeed very capable in fighting. She even admires her character a little bit. She is smart and powerful.

Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty, this Concubine Yan has offended Concubine Chen badly today. I'm afraid that from now on, the two of them will be incompatible. Concubine Chen also has some tricks."

Guyu said, "Your Majesty, I really like the temperament of Concubine Yan. Over the years, Concubine Chen has been scolding new concubines in the palace. This is the first time I have encountered someone like Concubine Yan. I guess she must be pissed to death now."

Lin Junxue said slowly, "Of course, Concubine Chen has her own methods, but Concubine Yan is not a pushover. Today, it seems that Concubine Yan is strong enough to fight against many people alone, but if you listen carefully, every word she says is reasonable and well-founded. She dares to confront Concubine Chen like this, not only because she is the emperor's new favorite, but also because of her family background. Even Concubine Chen has to think about it. If it were an ordinary noble lady, Concubine Chen would never be able to tolerate such an attitude today."

Qiao Xin paused and asked, "Madam, do you mean the family background of Concubine Yan?"

Lin Junxue picked up the pen and said nonchalantly, "What do you think? The Minister of Rites Zhang Qing has always supported the emperor since he was still a prince. During the fight for the throne, Zhang Qing made a lot of efforts. Although the emperor did not reward him too much on the surface, he would personally give him food during festivals these years. Among all the civil and military officials in the court, who else could have such a gift except Zhang Qing?"

Long before Zhang Yuyan's portrait was placed in Zhonghe Palace, she already knew everything about the Zhang family.

Lin Junxue spoke again, "The officials who went south to provide disaster relief this time were also from Zhang Qing's faction, so Zhang Qing is the emperor's confidant. Even if her granddaughter is not outstanding in appearance, the emperor will take her into the harem. What's more, Zhang Yuyan's talent and appearance are both top-notch, so it is inevitable that she will be favored. Not to mention today, if Concubine Yan and Concubine Chen really make trouble in front of the emperor, the emperor will only side with Concubine Yan, and Concubine Chen will definitely be scolded."

Lin Junxue even had a guess in her mind. Although she was not 100% sure, she was about 80% to 90% sure.

There are still two positions left among the four concubines. If she guessed correctly, Xie Yu would support Zhang Yuyan to take the position and become one of the four concubines.

How could Zhang Qing's granddaughter be just a low-ranking concubine?

Zhang Yuyan's promotion is only a matter of time and opportunity.

This is the real rocket upgrade!

Like Concubine Yue, who was imprisoned in the palace for life, no matter how hard she tried, she could never become a concubine in her entire life.

And Zhang Yuyan might not do anything, but Xie Yu had already reserved the position of concubine for her.

Family background, whether in ancient times or modern times, will always be a gap that cannot be crossed.

Qiao Xin frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you can see clearly. Could it be that the Concubine Chen has also seen through this? If so, the Concubine Chen is not as stupid as she looks?"
