Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

As soon as she left, Nanny Du could no longer hide her disgust for Aunt Li.

"Didn't you hear what she said? She won't stop until she overthrows Concubine Yue herself. I have to let her see that day."

The Queen spoke very gently.

"After all, Concubine Yue was once her master and had saved her. Even when she discovered her betrayal, she didn't kill her. Who would have thought that she would be determined to kill her now?"

"From your tone, you seem to have some sympathy for Concubine Yue?"

The queen couldn't help but tease her after hearing this.

"I just think people should be grateful and repay kindness. I really despise a slave like Aunt Li."

Nanny Du explained seriously.

And he was not afraid of being blamed by the queen at all.

"She just wants to use you to help her get revenge, but she is not loyal to you."

This fact must be recognized.

No matter how nice her words are, you can't believe them.

"Yes, you are right. I will listen to you. If I feel sorry for something, you will handle it. Is that right?"

The queen looked like she had no choice but to accept the nagging.

Looking back at Nanny Du, there was indeed a different color in her eyes.

And in Zhaohua Palace.

After seeing Shen Zhishu, Concubine Yue took good care of him and did not give him any intimidation.

Apart from the fact that she is easygoing and doesn't like to smile, there is nothing wrong with her in other aspects.

Everything we eat and drink is extremely precious.

Shen Zhishu couldn't help but exclaim that he could drink iced juice at her place. It was such a luxury.

At least she had never seen it in the Queen's Palace.

Logically speaking, it's autumn soon, and the ice stored last year should have been used up in the summer, but she can still get a supply of it.

Concubine Yue is indeed a favored concubine and her status is extraordinary.

"My lady, I am really curious about something and I can't help but ask you."

She doesn't like to laugh, but Shen Zhishu's smile has never faded since he came in.

"Just say what you want to say. I don't like people to dither, and I don't like the way you treat the queen."

Concubine Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, looking arrogant, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Then I have to ask."

Shen Zhishu confirmed it again with a serious and nervous look on his face.

Concubine Yue rolled her eyes helplessly, and her disdain was obvious.

"That is...how much is your monthly salary? Does His Majesty often reward you?"

Because you look so rich.

It's hard not to be curious.

Concubine Yue was stunned, and even the palace maids in the palace couldn't help but look at each other in surprise when they heard this.

Then I tried my best to hold back from saying anything, for fear that I would laugh as soon as I opened my mouth.

"This is the first time I've heard someone ask this since I entered the palace."

After she realized what was happening, Concubine Yue wanted to laugh as well.

"Any girl from an aristocratic family would never talk about money all the time. It's beneath her dignity and might even make people laugh at her."

These words seemed to make Shen Zhishu embarrassed.

"My father worked hard for many years and finally became the Minister of the Dali Temple. So I am not a girl from an aristocratic family, and my family is still short of money."

In fact, they are not short of it now, but if she had not been reborn, their Shen family would have bowed down for a bucket of rice. What's wrong with admitting this?

"Then how much money do you get as the concubine of the King of Qin?"

Concubine Yue found her interesting and couldn't help asking.

"The prince treats me very well, and often gives me rewards. Moreover, the palace provides my food, clothing and other expenses. I can't use the money he gives me."

"So you are very satisfied with the life in the palace? If so, why are you curious about what I am doing here?"

They were chatting so happily that she forgot her own honorific title for a moment.

Shen Zhishu glanced around again.

"I am short-sighted. Coming here really broadens my horizons."

The house is filled with precious jades, calligraphy and paintings, and even musical instruments are made by famous teachers. Nothing is worthless.

Not to mention the tables and chairs, they are all made of top-grade huanghuali wood. Just one chair is enough for an ordinary family to have food and clothing for a lifetime.

"The monthly salary is determined according to the position of the concubines and is managed by the Empress. As for the rewards... Your Majesty loves me, but he doesn't give me mountains of gold and silver. Moreover, most of the rewards are for the royal family and cannot be circulated. Most of my expenses are given by my family."

Concubine Yue spoke seriously, but at the end, there was a hint of loneliness in her expression.

Concubine Yue's family used to be a fifth-rank military general. Later, because she was extremely favored, her family was promoted from the fifth rank to the third rank.

But among the many generals, he is not even in the top ten and keeps a low profile in Kyoto.

And as far as she knew, most military generals were short of money. How could her family support her extravagant life?

Or is there something else hidden?

Seeing her lonely look flash by, Shen Zhishu thought of the old military marquis Su, Su Rong's biological father and also her beloved man.

"Money is something outside of one's body. I don't really care about these conditions."

"But they give money to the queen every year and every month, allowing the queen to live such a carefree life. Isn't it because they are thinking about the queen all the time and hope that the queen lives a good life? When the younger generation got married, my father almost emptied half of the family property."

Let’s take a gamble and bet that her family is not able to afford such generous conditions, and that they were given by the old military marquis Su.

Shen Zhishu said this with an innocent look on his face.

Concubine Yue smiled bitterly.

"Anyway, I think that if your family doesn't care about you, they won't spend money on you. Although women from noble families don't dare to mention money, everyone's life cannot be separated from money. Such a necessity, no one will waste it on irrelevant people."

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Shen Zhishu tried hard to explain again.

"So, even though I am far away in the palace, I am still relevant to them and they still care about me?"

Concubine Yue was somewhat moved, and her eyes drifted away again, as if she was thinking about something.

"of course."

"Who can give you money every day for ten years without asking for anything in return? It can only be your family members who care about you, or your partner who has deep feelings for you."

"This is what my father said, and I think it makes a lot of sense."

The more imperial concubine Yue's smile became, the deeper it became, and it seemed more sincere.

"Okay, what you said makes sense."

"I agree with you, but do you agree with what I said?"

But she suddenly changed the subject and got straight to the point.

Perhaps since she came today, Concubine Yue has been trying to figure out whether she is here to cooperate or to declare war?

The smile on Shen Zhishu's face faded a little.

Then he subconsciously looked at the people in the room and glanced over.

Although she looked calm on the surface, her nervousness could be clearly felt from her small movements.

After seeing this, Concubine Yue actually waved her hand considerately and only left her personal servant Nanny Su and two first-class maids.

"I thought about what the queen said for a long time after returning home. It is true that only if I live a good life can I live a life that is worth living."
