Harem Daily Life

The news that Fu Liangyi offended Concubine Li and was demoted had already spread throughout the harem.

However, everyone was eagerly waiting for the person to replace Fu Liangyi and accompany the emperor on the tour, but no one showed up.

The next morning, everyone came to pay their respects earlier than usual, even Concubine Yu, who had recently claimed to be ill, came.

"Oh, Sister Yu is out today? Are you feeling better?" The imperial concubine asked with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Yu Jieyu bowed to the Imperial Concubine and said, "I have been taking care of myself for many days and I am much better now. Thank you for your concern, Imperial Concubine."

Yu Jieyu said in a gentle voice: "I haven't come to pay my respects to you for a long time. I didn't expect that everyone would be here today. It seems that except for the pregnant Concubine Li, everyone else is here?"

Yu Jieyu looked around, and finally looked at the last few newcomers. Her smiling face suddenly darkened: "I haven't seen you sisters for a long time. You sisters have become more and more charming. Hey, the sisters who entered the palace through the selection this year are really good-looking, young and beautiful, and they are really pleasing to the eyes."

Tao Yanyan couldn't help but complain in his heart: With so much to say and so much drama, it would be a waste if he didn't become an actor.

She got up too early in the morning and resisted the urge to yawn. She forced herself to yawn with her mouth closed. Suddenly, her eyes became a little blurry, and tears came out.

In order to prevent the tears from yawning from flowing down, she closed her eyes slightly, raised her head a little, and pushed the tears back.

Unexpectedly, this small action would bring about trouble from Concubine Yu.

"If you ask me, the most eye-catching newcomer this time is Tao Liangyi. Look at her eyes and eyebrows, they are really like twinkling stars, smart and charming. Her pretty nose, red lips, white skin and black hair make her look like a fairy. Her figure is even more graceful. She is comparable to the imperial concubine back then."

Tao Yanyan: Just praise my beauty, why did you involve the imperial concubine? I don't need you to help me make enemies!

Tao Yanyan bowed to the Imperial Concubine amid the unfriendly gazes of the concubines: "My sisters are truly eye-catching with their beauty. Besides, how dare I, a mere firefly, compete with the Imperial Concubine, who is as bright as a pearl."

Fortunately, I have watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and I wrote down this sentence of Mei Jie's praise for Concubine Hua in my little notebook. Now I use it here for emergency.

The imperial concubine had not expected that this usually quiet young concubine could say such words at this moment, and she became more friendly to her.

"Okay, Yu Jieyu, you have been through this before. When you first entered the palace, you were also favored. The sisters of this generation are not as lucky as you. Fan Liangyi, Tao Liangyi, and Fu Baolin have been in the palace for several months, but they have not yet served the emperor. That's why I suggested giving the sisters more opportunities when accompanying the emperor on this tour. When the queen comes later, I hope you will be more humble. We are all sisters, and there is no need to fight for everything."

After the imperial concubine finished speaking, the concubines looked unhappy but all said "yes" respectfully.

Seeing that the Imperial Concubine was scolding her alone, Yu Jieyu stopped talking. She stood out today because she was not on the list of the imperial concubines. She thought she had no chance and didn't think much about it, but yesterday she heard that the idiot Fu Liangyi had offended the favored Concubine Li, was demoted and had her name crossed out, so she thought that she could try her luck by coming to pay her respects today.

Although she is still favored now, it is not as great as before. There is only one emperor and so many concubines in the palace. If she wants to stand out, she must not miss any opportunity!

She glanced at the crowd and sneered in her heart. She knew exactly what each of them was planning!

She took the initiative to bring up Tao Liangyi because she felt that Tao Liangyi might really become the fifth person to accompany the emperor on the tour. Not only was she good-looking, but she also had a good temperament. Even if she were a woman, she couldn't help but take a second look at her charming look.

But she didn't understand why the emperor hadn't favored her for several months?

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but curse Concubine Li in his heart. It must be Concubine Li who took away the emperor's soul and made the emperor forget that there were three new people.

Tao Yanyan had no idea that Yu Jieyu, who had been targeting her just now, had now changed her target and was scolding Concubine Li. She just felt like sitting on pins and needles and wished she could leave early and go back to sleep!

Waking up early every day is more torturous than going to work.

At least she can have two days off at work and sleep until she wakes up naturally. But she cannot be absent from the imperial greetings 365 days a year, unless the empress is lazy and doesn't ask anyone to come, or she is really sick and has a pulse diagnosis by the imperial physician. Otherwise, how could she, the last lady in the imperial harem, have the courage to ask for leave!

Tao Yanyan wanted to cry but had no tears. Her Cuiweixuan was far away and she had to get up before dawn to walk there. It was so tiring!

Just when he was feeling depressed and had no way to vent, he saw the Queen coming out with the support of her personal maid, Yun Que.

The concubines stood up to greet the queen: "Your Highness the Queen."

The Queen waved her hand slightly, and after she sat down, she said, "No need to be polite, everyone take a seat. There is nothing important to do today, the main thing is the selection of the escort. I'm sure everyone has heard about what happened yesterday. Fu Liangyi was reckless and frightened Concubine Li's pregnancy. His Majesty demoted him to Baolin on the spot, and directly crossed him off the list of escorts. In this case, we have to choose someone new."

The Queen did not mention Tao Yanyan directly, so there are many interpretations below.

Li Jieyu said: "I thought Fu Baolin was brave, but I didn't expect that he was so reckless that he dared to disturb Concubine Li's pregnancy. Haha, I thought that my sisters were young and must have been spoiled at home. Their parents were reluctant to teach them. But now that they have entered the palace, it is different from outside the palace. They must be taught well. Otherwise, they will act rashly at such a young age. My sisters should take this as a warning!"

There were only four younger people present: Concubine Zhao, Concubine Xu, Fan Liangyi, and Tao Liangyi. Concubine Li naturally said this for them to hear. It just so happened that the first three were on the list of people accompanying the emperor this time.

Tao Yanyan looked at Concubine Zhao and Fan Liangyi sitting opposite him, as well as Concubine Xu sitting in front of him, and felt that they were all a little nervous.

Tao Yanyan was complaining madly in her heart. This Concubine Li was really a person who loved to argue. Yesterday, she was the one who ridiculed Fu Baolin, and today she was criticizing the young people for being reckless and needing to be educated. To put it nicely, this kind of person is straightforward, but to put it bluntly, she is mean, sarcastic and likes to meddle in other people's business. She is really not likable.

If you meet this kind of person in the workplace, you should stay away from him or her, they are too annoying.

The Imperial Concubine said, "This time, Shu Fei will be accompanying us on this tour. I believe she will set an example and discipline her sisters well, so Concubine Li will not have to worry. As for this last candidate, I think it should be fairer." After that, she looked at Tao Yanyan and said, "Why not Tao Liangyi? I believe she will recover after a few days of recuperation."

Tao Yanyan's scalp tingled. Although he had expected that he might be forced to do something against his will, he sighed silently.

Your Majesty, you don't have to be so fair. This job is difficult to take!
