My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

After the commotion in Lingyun Palace, Murong Che dismissed everyone and returned to Changsheng Palace.

After everyone had left, Xue Youli looked at Banxia's swollen face and immediately ordered someone to bring her the ointment she had recently prepared.

"This medicine is very effective in reducing swelling, but it will sting a little when you first apply it, so just bear with it."

"I have thick skin and flesh, I'm not afraid... Ouch! Master, please be gentle!"

"See if you're still being stubborn." Xue Youli said this, and the movements of applying the medicine were obviously much lighter. "Banxia, ​​I made you suffer tonight."

What happened tonight was enough to make her realize that Murong Che's favor alone was far from enough, and power was her biggest weakness.

She is not afraid of conspiracies and plots.

But what if a concubine with a higher rank than her like Shen Ruolan makes things difficult for her in the future?

In the harem, if you want to use your power to oppress others, there are many ways to kill people without bloodshed.

Banxia didn't care. "I was just slapped. I'll be fine after applying some medicine. Unlike Yuzhu, she had blood all over her mouth when she was dragged out."

"She brought this upon herself, and you suffered an unprovoked disaster. How can it be the same?"

Xue Youli looked at the girl in front of him and warned her seriously, "From now on, no matter who you meet or what happens, you must put your life first. Remember?"

Banxia listened to her serious tone and nodded solemnly, "I will remember this."

May 15th is the day every month when we need to go to Yonghe Palace to pay respects to Concubine Rong.

This time Xue Youli arrived very early and took Murong Xi's pulse.

"The little princess is recovering well. With proper care, she can delay the frequency of asthma attacks."

"That's what the imperial physician said."

After hearing what Xue Youli said, Rong Qingyue felt relieved. "Sister Xue, thanks to you, Xi'er is feeling much better now."

As she spoke, she called over Caixia, who handed the red sandalwood carved box in her hands to Xue Youli, "Lady Xue, this is a little gift from my queen. Please accept it!"

If this wooden box were put into modern times, it would be worthy of being exhibited in a museum.

Xue Youli looked at the bright and rich red jade bracelet in the box and happily accepted it. "Thank you, Concubine Rong. I like it very much!"

Not long after, the concubines in the harem came one after another, paid their respects to Concubine Rong, sat for a while, and then took their leave.

Xue Youli also took Banxia away.

As the master and servant were passing Xuanyun Palace and about to turn a corner, they were suddenly bumped from behind.

Bang!

Before she could even cry out in pain, the maid behind her screamed out in surprise, "Oh, Master! Where are you hurt?"

"Miss Xue bumped into me, and my arm hit the wall. It hurts so much!"

"Why are you still standing there like idiots? Go get the doctor!"

Xue Youli listened to the exaggerated conversation between the master and servant, and turned to look at the identity card above each other's head.

[Name: Yin Xuan'er, 17 years old, daughter of Yin Hongxing, Duke of Shen, niece of Empress Dowager Yin, and the highest-ranking Zhaoyi among the newcomers entering the palace.]

This Yin Zhaoyi is an important supporting character in the original book, and is equally powerful as Xue Qingyao.

In the end, Xue Qingyao had to rely on the power of the male protagonist Murong Ye and finally managed to kill Yin Xuan'er.

The moment Xue Youli's eyes met Yin Xuan'er's, she knew that this woman was coming for her.

The disparity in status between them was too great. Even though she knew the other party had done it on purpose, Xue Youli still bowed and apologized, "This concubine did not mean to offend Her Majesty Zhaoyi. Please forgive me, Her Majesty!"

Yin Xuan'er, supported by her maid Qing He, stared at Xue Youli with an appraising gaze. "Lady Xue, you have acted rashly and impolitely. I will punish you by making you kneel here and pick up beans. You must reflect on yourself."

When Xue Youli heard that it was just picking beans, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Yin Xuan'er couldn't stand Murong Che's excessive favoritism towards her and wanted to make her suffer, then that wouldn't be a big problem.

At this time, Qing He brought out a drawer-sized wooden box from Xuan Yun Hall. Inside was a mixture of red beans and mung beans. "My queen said that Lady Xue must separate the red beans and mung beans in the box before she can get up."

Banxia immediately knelt beside Xue Youli, "I'll help you pick..."

Qing He glanced at Ban Xia and added, "No one else can help."

Xue Youli quickly stated, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely pick it up myself and will never use anyone else's hands."

Yin Xuan'er had heard a lot of rumors about Xue Youli recently, and she thought that she would take advantage of her pampering to confront her.

Then I can take advantage of this opportunity to give her a beating with justification.

However, she did not expect that Xue Youli would be so obedient and kneel down to accept the punishment happily.

As someone who had read the original novel, Xue Youli had naturally predicted her prediction long ago.

[If you bully me, you're messing with cotton. It's just kneeling, I kneel. It's just picking beans, I pick them.]

Seeing Xue Youli kneeling on the ground and picking red beans and mung beans in an orderly manner, Yin Xuan'er sneered and walked straight into the gate of Xuanyun Hall.

The daughter of the Xue family is as timid as a mouse, and she is submissive and will never amount to anything.

Daddy is really worrying too much!

Banxia knelt beside Xue Youli, watching her sorting beans one by one. Her eyes were red with heartache. "Master, how could Concubine Xue be so difficult for me? It was clearly her who just now..."

"Shh!"

Before she could finish her words, Xue Youli made a gesture to silence her. "Banxia, ​​walls have ears. We must be careful with what we say and do outside."

Originally, Song Jingsi was favored for five consecutive days, and everyone thought she had fallen out of favor. However, after Shen Ruolan ran to Lingyun Palace to catch an adulterer and was demoted, everyone thought that Murong Che still favored her the most.

If people of higher status than her are jealous of her favor, they will certainly find all kinds of reasons to bully her.

Yin Xuaner's punishment was already considered light.

If it were someone else who was more cruel, he would have given her a hundred strokes of the cane on the pretext of insubordination.

So, she had to hurry up and climb up.

The concubines in the harem compete for favor, some for power, and some for love.

Compared to falling in love with the emperor, it is more reliable to hold power in your own hands.

Without the protection of imperial power, once you offend someone, you may go to hell at any time.

Xue Youli knelt on the ground for nearly two hours before she separated the red beans from the green beans.

During this time, her brain was not idle, and she was constantly recalling the plot of the original novel.

Although many plots have changed because of her entry into the harem, according to the timeline, at the end of the year, there will be famine in the Jiangnan area of ​​Jiuzhou Kingdom due to severe drought.

Man-made disasters can be avoided, but natural disasters cannot be avoided.

In Jiuzhou Kingdom, there are relatively few types of crops. Drought-resistant crops such as millet, sorghum, and buckwheat are not grown on a large scale.

In order to prepare for drought resistance in advance, Xue Youli plans to persuade Murong Che to promote these drought-resistant crops.

In order to find a suitable excuse, she limped to the library with the support of Banxia the next day without waiting for her knee to recover.

I don’t know who spread the rumor that Murong Che would go to the library after leaving court.

Many of the concubines have never even seen the emperor, so how can they sit still?

After dressing up, they all ran to the library hoping to meet the emperor.

however!

When there are too many people, trouble is likely to occur.

Just as everyone was wandering among the rows of bookshelves, a sudden scream broke the silence of the library.

"Someone come! Concubine Yin rolled down the stairs!"
