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

Chen Xier forced a smile and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sister. Even if all the sisters in the harem were added together, they would not be as graceful as you. Your appearance is the best in the harem. How can I compare to you?"

Lin Junxue clearly just praised Chen Xier for her beauty, but Chen Xier deliberately pushed Lin Junxue to the opposite side of all the concubines.

Sure enough, when the other concubines heard Chen Xier's words and saw Lin Junxue's beautiful face, their expressions changed a little.

Chen Xier felt proud when she saw that her goal was achieved.

Next second

Chen Xier couldn't laugh anymore

Lin Junxue nodded slightly, curled her lips slightly, raised her hands slightly,

She said calmly, "Sister, what you said is true. In terms of beauty, I am indeed number one."

silence

deathly silence

All the concubines who came to pay their respects in Zhonghe Palace just looked at Lin Junxue who was sitting on the high seat.

No one expected that Lin Junxue could actually say this?

This is simply...

For a moment, everyone found it difficult to find the right words to describe their feelings, as if they had just met Lin Junxue.

Chen Xier, Sun Manrou, and Yuepin all followed here from the mansion. In all these years, how could they have ever heard Lin Junxue speak like this?

Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Lin Junxue took a sip of tea calmly, and the main point was "open and honest".

Chen Xier wanted to roast her, so she followed the woman's wishes.

but…………

There was a coldness in Lin Junxue's eyes. Wait, I hope Chen Xier can still smile.

Lin Junxue's frankness made the concubines who were jealous just now a little confused.

Only Concubine Mi couldn't help but chuckle.

She really thinks the current Queen is very interesting.

It was clear that Concubine Xi was trying to plot against the Queen, but the Queen openly admitted her beauty.

However, she felt that the queen was not arrogant. After all, her beauty was obvious to all. There was nothing wrong with what she said, but some people were going to be pissed off.

On the opposite side, the handkerchief in Chen Xier's hand was indeed about to be torn.

She was even more shocked at how Lin Junxue could so shamelessly admit that her beauty was the best in the harem.

Everyone looked at Chen Mi, who was covering his handkerchief and laughing out loud.

Lin Junxue's eyes also fell on Concubine Mi, who stood up and saluted respectfully.

"I think what the Queen said is very true."

Chen Xier's face changed. Chen Mi never participated in the fights in the palace, and never made friends with anyone.

I had shown my goodwill to her several times, but she pretended not to notice. Now, she was actually speaking in public to support that bitch Lin Junxue.

Could it be that after seeing that Lin Junxue had changed, she wanted to join Lin Junxue?

Apparently, Chen Xier was not the only one who thought so. Sun Manrou, who had been silent until now, also looked unhappy.

The other concubines couldn't help but wonder in their hearts what Chen Mi meant by this.

Chen Mi looked at Lin Junxue without changing his expression.

Lin Junxue's brows remained calm, but a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.

This concubine is interesting.

Then, Lin Junxue curled her lips and said, "My dear Concubine Mi, you have good taste. Please sit down."

Chen Mi also responded to Lin Junxue with a generous and appropriate smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, Queen."

The expressions of the other concubines were truly amazing.

Chen Xier felt upset when she saw that she had not achieved her goal.

But she is also a good actress, and there is no trace of dissatisfaction on her face.

On the contrary, Sun Manrou showed all her emotions on her face.

Lin Junxue glanced at Chen Xier who was smiling falsely, raised her eyes slightly, and lowered her voice.

"Although I am the most beautiful, what's the use of this beauty? If I were half as favored as you, what would it matter if I didn't want this beauty? How can my beauty compare with your gentleness and generosity? Besides, I am the queen, and the most important thing is to assist the emperor, manage the affairs of the harem, and serve the emperor. I'm sorry to trouble you sisters for your hard work."

As soon as this word comes out

The concubines who had just taken Lin Junxue's beauty to heart immediately changed their minds and immediately put their sights back on Chen Xier.

What the Empress said is true. Even though the Empress is the most beautiful in the harem, the Emperor's favorite is still Concubine Xi.

In this harem, Concubine Xi is their biggest rival.

Just like what the Queen said, she doesn't need to compete for favor, the most important thing is to manage the harem well

Even if these low-ranking concubines compete for favor, they can never get the position of queen.

But the imperial concubine is different. If they can really snatch the emperor from the imperial concubine Xi

Then you can still try for the position of Concubine Xi.

Not only the lower-ranking concubines, but even Sun Manrou and Yuepin were moved by Lin Junxue's words.

Especially Sun Manrou, she absolutely could not bear that her position would be lower than that of Chen Xier, a woman of low birth.

Chen Xier sat on the chair, her hands in her sleeves trembling with anger.

This Lin Junxue has really become smart. She has learned how to divert the trouble.

Even though Chen Xier was angry, every word Lin Junxue said was true, leaving her no way to refute. In terms of beauty, she could not compare to Lin Junxue.

If I were the queen today, how could I be secretly insulted by Lin Junxue like this?

Chen Xier could only grit her teeth and say, "Sister, your words really terrify me."

She was about to continue her argument, but Lin Junxue didn't give her a chance to continue.

"My sister is always so humble"

At this moment, Chen Xier felt like she had something stuck in her throat.

The unfriendly looks from the other concubines made Chen Xier even more furious.

Next to him, Qiao Xin could only say that her own queen's move was really brilliant.

Imperial Concubine Xi was doomed to suffer the loss in silence. With just a few words from the Empress, the concubines under her immediately shifted their target of jealousy to Imperial Concubine Xi.

Just when Chen Xier couldn't smile at all, Lin Junxue's next words dealt a heavy blow to her and the concubines in the harem.

Lin Junxue said lightly, "Next year, a new round of talent shows will begin. My sisters also know that since the emperor ascended the throne, no concubines in the harem have given birth to princes or princesses. For the sake of royal heirs and the foundation of the Xie Dynasty, the talent show scheduled for May next year will be held as usual in March."

Lin Junxue didn't even look at the shocked people, with a cold smile on her lips.

The ancient selection system was different between the Xie Dynasty and her time.

Before selecting concubines, the Ministry of Revenue would first report to the emperor, and after obtaining approval, the selection date would be decided, and finally the order would be passed down layer by layer.

Instead, the Queen had the final say, setting the date and the selection criteria, and then the Ministry of Revenue would implement it. Lin Junxue was very satisfied with this.

After these words were spoken, most of the concubines in Zhonghe Palace panicked. Even Chen Xier's face changed and the corners of her eyes turned red with anger.

Lin Junxue is a lunatic. His brain must have been damaged by house arrest. How could he take the initiative to bring up the matter of the talent show?

Everyone knows that when a newcomer enters the palace, he or she will inevitably share the emperor's favor.

Since Xie Yu ascended the throne, he has only selected the second-rate concubines twice, which is to symbolically keep a dozen concubines.

The highest rank conferred so far is still the sixth rank of Guiji, and most of the others are Jieyu and Guiren.

Xie Yu can occasionally turn over a card, but no one can share Chen Xier's favor.

Sun Manrou couldn't sit still anymore. She looked at Lin Junxue fiercely and raised her voice.

"Empress, isn't the selection in May next year? Why is it two months earlier?"

Her eyes were full of confusion and her tone was full of clear condemnation.

Lin Junxue's decision is simply unreasonable. Is she crazy?

Lin Junxue narrowed her eyes slightly, and understood the question in Sun Manrou's eyes. She just found it funny.
