TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Hailan is not good at playing chess, so she can only embroider by the side.

Knowing that it was Ruyi who pleaded for Concubine Chun in front of the emperor, she quickly started to compliment her, "Sister, you are so kind-hearted. Concubine Chun was not polite at all that day, and you still helped her like this."

"She should thank you very much this time."

Yihuan often visits the Fifth Prince, and her attitude towards Hailan is no longer as cold as before.

"Sister Xianpin, why bother to care about them? The Emperor is already hard-pressed to handle state affairs, and he still has to worry about those unworthy ministers."

"I think we shouldn't be kind to them."

Ruyi smiled and shook her head, dropped the chess piece in her hand, and raised her armored fingers high.

The frequent shaking showed her inner joy.

"Yihuan, please don't say such things outside of Yanxi Palace. The emperor hopes for harmony in the harem."

"That's what my sister said."

Ruyi deliberately spread the news to let Su Lujun know who spoke well of her in front of the emperor.

There was no response from Su Lujun for a long time, and Hai Lan couldn't swallow her anger before Ruyi could say anything.

When greeting everyone, Hailan jokingly said in front of everyone, "Sister Chunfei, won't you treat us to a cup of tea?"

"Sister Xianpin said all the nice things to the emperor, and only now did the emperor know that you were sick and taking medicine!"

Everyone who was chatting immediately turned their attention to Hailan.

Su Lujun looked her up and down without any hesitation, touching the auspicious cloud pattern on her cuffs without saying a word.

Jin Yuyan despised her hypocritical appearance the most. She used to pretend to be timid and docile, and quietly gave birth to a prince and was promoted to a higher position.

"I was wondering who was yelling there? Turns out it's Concubine Yu!"

"Why, your master's mouth is glued shut again, so she lets you out to speak for her?"

"I thought you were so timid, but now that you have a prince, it's different. You're confident and confident, and you can talk to anyone."

After giving birth to the Fourth Prince, Jin Yuyan looked even more beautiful than before. The once delicate and juicy rose has now fully bloomed.

Unbridled release of his charm and offensive power.

"Empress, do you think we were wrong in the past?"

"Didn't you say you were trembling with fear when you saw the emperor?"

Langya seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in their words. "Concubine Yu has served the Emperor for so many years, it's time for her to make some progress."

Concubine Chun sneered and shifted her gaze away from Hai Lan. "Concubine Jia, you might not know this, there is a very beautiful dog in the cat and dog room."

"Without its master, it dares not do anything. Once it has its master's support, it dares to bark at the lion."

Everyone present laughed. Hai Lan's impatient look made her look like Ruyi's lackey.

"Really? There are interesting things like this. I really want to raise one."

Hailan was so angry at their words that her face turned pale and she twisted the handkerchief in her hands tightly.

She was clearly no longer the lowest-ranking concubine in the palace, so why were these people still mocking her so unscrupulously?

She has given birth to the fifth prince and is the prince's biological mother!

It is the main seat of a palace!

She is a concubine who is on equal footing with them!

Ruyi watched all this coldly, and when she saw that Concubine Chun was about to include herself in her words, she spoke out to stop her.

"Isn't what you said inappropriate? Concubine Yu is our sister, why are you being so sarcastic?"

"How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the Empress?"

Let’s not talk about how touched Hai Lan was. Jin Yuyan was the first to roll her eyes at the other party.

"I thought Concubine Xian couldn't speak! Please stop making random accusations. Who am I mocking?"

As soon as Gao Xiyue saw Jin Yuyan speak, she gave up the idea of ​​speaking. She could easily challenge two opponents at once.

Even if Concubine Chun's fighting ability is weaker, she is of no use.

He simply stood by and cracked hazelnuts for Langya in a serious manner.

A crisp and rhythmic "dong dong" sound suddenly rang out in the house.

Langya likes the various natural foods here, and the dried fruits in winter have the unique fragrance of plants and trees.

The cracked fruit shells thrown into the charcoal basin also have a special smell.

It is inappropriate to prepare such food for the purpose of greeting. Which concubines would gather together to eat nuts so early in the morning?

But I can't help but think that Langya likes it. Every time we pay our respects, it's time for us to chat about gossip, and we have to have these snacks to make it feel better.

Apart from Ruyi who never touches it because of her status, even Yihuan would occasionally eat some.

The sudden sound interrupted what Concubine Chun was about to say. She tilted her head helplessly and looked at Gao Xiyue.

There's something indescribable in his eyes. Do we really have to crack nuts at this moment?

Gao Xiyue was stunned by their gaze, the small hammer in her hand still suspended in mid-air, her big eyes blinking innocently.

Langya was so adorable that she comforted her gently, "Your Highness, just keep on cracking your own and don't worry about them. Do you want some other ones? I'll grind them up and make you some lei cha later."

Gao Xiyue smiled sweetly at Langya, "Thank you, Queen. I don't want ginger for my portion."

Huang Qiying also grew bolder. She patted her chest and said bitterly, "Your Majesty, you are really partial. Of all the sisters, you only treat the Imperial Concubine especially well."

"I and the others are really jealous."

Langya was amused by her exaggerated appearance, and Jin Yuyan and others followed suit.

"That's right. Compared to that, we are all just weeds."

Bai Ruiji and Lu Muping smiled at each other. They also envied the Queen's preference for the Imperial Concubine, but this was all a matter of heart for heart.

They have seen how the imperial concubine has treated the queen over the years.

They will continue to support each other in this way in the future.

Gao Xiyue looked around proudly and snorted coldly, "How can you compare to me?"

Langya quickly smiled and tried to appease them, "We are all sisters serving the Emperor. How can there be any partiality? I treat you all equally. How could I leave you out of a portion of lei cha?"

"Then I will be waiting!"

Everyone was just taking the opportunity to cheer the Queen up, as everyone could see that the Imperial Concubine was special.

No one would really make demands like the imperial concubine did.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became harmonious, and no one wanted to pay attention to Ruyi and Hailan.

But they were so angry that they were half dead.

"I am used to waking up early to drink the fragrant soup. I am afraid I cannot get used to something with such mixed flavors. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Langya was too lazy to pay attention to her, "It's okay, you can come here quickly and be independent. I haven't prepared any for you."

"Exquisite delicacies are hard to swallow, and Concubine Xian always likes to pretend to be refined. I just wonder if drinking your out-of-season fragrant soup will make you sick?"

Su Lujun's words hit Ruyi's sore spot. She was well-versed in poetry and literature, so who said she was pretentious?

Ruyi stood up and looked the empress in the eyes. "As the head of the harem, are you going to just watch them bully me and Hailan?"

Langya waved her hand in disapproval, "It was just a joke, Concubine Xian, please don't make such a fuss."

"You should be more measured in what you say."

After saying that, she turned to look at Ruyi and said, "I have already reprimanded her. Please sit down, Concubine Xian."

Ruyi's chest heaved violently, and she kept telling herself to stay calm and steady.
