Women spend their entire lives in the harem. If they support each other in the harem, they can go further, but if they fight with each other, become jealous and calculating, who can really win?

Gan Ziyun took the lead and stood up, kneeling on the ground and said, "I will follow the instructions of the Lady. From now on, I will definitely support each other with my sisters and will never plot against each other or deliberately cause trouble."

Seeing this, the others also knelt down and spoke in response to Gan Ziyun.

Yixiu sat upright on the main seat, looking at the people kneeling below with sincere submission, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

It was as if my current self overlapped with my previous self. In my previous life, so many concubines also knelt in front of me, but at that time, all I was thinking about was scheming against each other and not letting anyone give birth to a child.

But now she was thinking that it was not easy for a woman to survive in the harem, so as long as they had no intention of harming others, why not everyone live in peace!

She, Yixiu, doesn't think she is a good person, but now she is unwilling to extend her hand to those who are weaker!

Yixiu smiled and nodded, responding, "My sisters are all sensible! Hurry and get up!"

Although on the surface everyone was kneeling on the ground and sincerely submitting to Yixiu, there were still a few who had their own little thoughts in their hearts.

Cao Qinmo knew that she was not particularly good-looking, and she did not have a good family background or talents. In this backyard, if she wanted to gain a foothold, she could only rely on others.

In the past few days, she has clearly seen the direction of the palace. The concubine has a son and a daughter, and she also has a capable cousin from the previous dynasty who is highly valued by the prince. The concubine Gan is in charge of the household affairs, acts decisively and efficiently, and also has children by her side. She is like the concubine.

If the wife and concubine can protect me, I think my life in the palace will not be too difficult.

Cao Qinmo is a smart person. If you want others to value you, you must let them know your value.

Today, this young concubine does not seem to be a smart person, and she even confronts the concubine. I guess the concubine also looks down on this!

Then I will take action once so that Fu Jin can see my value!

Yixiu casually explained some things as usual and let everyone go back.

Nian Shilan was still kneeling outside as punishment. When she saw everyone looking at her strangely after they walked out the door, she glared back angrily.

What is there to see? This yellow-faced woman, Fu Jin, is so petty. Isn't she just afraid that I will steal her favor?

The prince fell in love with me at first sight. When he comes back, I will make these people pay.

Yixiu deliberately left Nian Shilan alone for a while, and only after she had knelt for an hour did she let Jianqiu bring him over.

But unexpectedly, when Jianqiu came back, he shook his head helplessly at himself.

Yixiu put down her teacup and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jianqiu lowered her head and sighed, "The concubine scolded me and went back, saying that she would definitely tell the prince about what happened today."

Upon hearing this, Yixiu smiled playfully. She had originally wanted to give Nian Shilan some advice, but since the other party was so rude, she might as well wait for Nian Shilan to fall flat on her face!

I am not a savior, and I have no obligation to save someone who doesn't appreciate it at all!

…………

On the way back, Nian Shilan rubbed her aching legs and complained to Songzhi, "Fujin is too much! Today is the first time I pay my respects to her, and she treats me like this!"

Songzhi is also young and ignorant, and she has been with Nian Shilan since she was a child, so she must speak on Nian Shilan's side.

"Don't worry, Concubine. The prince will be back soon. When he finds out about this, he will definitely scold you. Let's see if he dares to deliberately torture you again in the future!"

As the two were talking, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind.

Nian Shilan thought someone was laughing at her. She pushed Songzhi away and turned around angrily, only to find it was Cao Qinmo.

Cao Qinmo bowed respectfully to Nian Shilan and said, "I pay my respects to the Concubine. May the Concubine be blessed with good health!"

Nian Shilan took out the money from the concubine and glared at Cao Qinmo, saying angrily, "What were you laughing at back there just now? Were you laughing at me?"

Cao Qinmo shook her head. "I'm not here to laugh at Concubine Concubine. I'm here to help Concubine Concubine!"

After hearing this, Nian Shilan stared at Cao Qinmo suspiciously. The woman in front of her was plain in appearance and was far inferior to herself.

I think she deliberately approached me to find out what the prince likes.

After all, in Nian Shilan's heart, there are only two kinds of women in the house, one is herself, and the other is the bitch who stole the prince!

Nian Shilan raised her head proudly, glanced at Cao Qinmo with disdain, and snorted, "I've been a concubine since I entered the palace. The prince dotes on me so much that I don't need your help!"

Cao Qinmo had anticipated this situation. She wasn't anxious or annoyed, but instead took a few steps forward and whispered to Nian, "But it's precisely because of this that Concubine Fu regards you as a thorn in her side. I know the prince favors the concubine, and I just want to live peacefully in this harem. I have absolutely no intention of snatching the prince from the concubine!"

After Cao Qinmo made the promise, Nian Shilan's expression softened a little.

But she still asked doubtfully, "Since you don't seek the prince's favor, why are you looking for me?"

Cao Qinmo lowered her head slightly and whispered, "Sister, I know that I am ugly, speechless, and boring. I hope that from now on, Concubine Furen will take care of me a little bit and make my life in this mansion not too difficult. Then, sister is willing to be Concubine Furen's vanguard."

Looking at Cao Qinmo who was so humble and submissive, Nian Shilan suddenly remembered that when she got up early to pay her respects, Yixiu had deliberately targeted her through other people's words.

Therefore, out of a competitive spirit, she agreed to Cao Qinmo's request and brought her to her own courtyard.

Cao Qinmo is a smart person. As soon as she arrived at the courtyard, she praised Nian Shilan's courtyard for how exquisite and grand it was, and how luxurious the decorations were. It was enough to show how much the prince cared about Nian Shilan.

"Concubine, you don't know that your marriage was personally arranged by our prince. To be disrespectful, even when the prince first appointed his first wife, he didn't pay this much attention. It goes without saying who is the first person in the prince's heart!"

Nian Shilan was flattered by the praise and said proudly, "Of course!"

Suddenly, Nian Shilan seemed to have thought of something and asked, "You said that Fu Jin was just a concubine back then. If she hadn't been lucky enough to give birth to a favored son, our prince wouldn't have been able to make her his wife!"

Cao Qinmo immediately echoed her words, saying, "In the past month since I entered the palace, I've felt that the prince is only indifferent to the concubine. After all, he doesn't care about anyone as much as you, the concubine. If the concubine gives birth to a child in the future, the prince will naturally love her very much."
