My eunuch An is a yandere

In the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Feng looked at Bai Ningwei who was paying her respects politely, with a peaceful expression on her face.

"I heard that you were reluctant to wear the hairpin I gave you and even wanted to make an altar to display it. Is this true?"

Bai Ningwei lowered her eyes to study the patterns on the floor tiles, thinking that the Empress Dowager's spies were indeed everywhere in the harem. This question was difficult to answer, and when she looked up again, she had already assumed the air of a naive young woman who had never seen the world.

"Have I brought shame upon Her Majesty the Queen Mother?"

Bai Ningwei's performance was all because Empress Dowager Feng was of humble origins. After entering the palace, she was not promoted to the position of concubine until she gave birth to a prince for the late emperor.

When the late emperor passed away, he took out his will and ordered the current Majesty to ascend the throne.

Empress Dowager Feng rose from the position of concubine to become the current empress dowager.

Therefore, for a long time, Empress Dowager Feng's behavior was not in line with her noble position. However, Empress Dowager Feng's status was extraordinary and far away from the previous dynasty, so no one would say anything openly.

But there were many people who laughed at her behind her back, and Empress Dowager Feng was privately sad many times because of this.

Even though she has been the empress dowager for more than ten years, she always shows a petty air from time to time.

Take her birthday party for example. Every year on this day she would publicly find fault with the Queen, but she never got any response. Yet she still enjoyed doing it, which was enough to reflect her broad mind and vision.

Therefore, Bai Ningwei's pretense of being worldly-wise greatly satisfied Empress Dowager Feng's sense of superiority, a feeling she would never experience from the Empress's wife, who came from a wealthy family.

As expected, Empress Dowager Feng no longer mentioned the previous question, but pointed at Bai Ningwei with a smile.

"Look at you, you're such a loser. Once you've taught me the ropes of youth, I'll give you two eye-opening treasures."

Having taken control of Empress Dowager Feng, Bai Ningwei immediately knelt down on the ground and expressed her gratitude loudly.

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, for the gift. I remember that you are rewarding me with two treasures."

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Feng was not angry but amused and scolded with a smile.

"I didn't realize you were still such a naughty kid. Why does the Queen like your company now?"

Changing the subject, it was another tricky question.

"I never dare to act naughty in front of the Queen."

"Then why do you dare to do that in front of me?"

"I saw the Empress's majesty, so I naturally adhered to the code of conduct between monarch and subject. But when I met the Empress Dowager... let me be frank, the Empress Dowager made me feel at home, so I unconsciously became more lively."

After saying this, Empress Dowager Feng savored it carefully and found it very pleasant to the ear.

Everyone knows that the queen is the most pretentious in the entire harem. She lives without any human aura. She really thinks that she is the reincarnation of a phoenix and the daughter of destiny, and she doesn't even feel tired.

Empress Dowager Feng couldn't stand her behavior.

Although she wasn't from an orthodox background, she lived a comfortable life. After sitting in a high position for so long, she occasionally longed to be closer to the lives of ordinary people. Bai Ningwei said she was friendly and willing to be lively in her presence, which meant she was easier to get along with than that clay statue in Fengyi Palace.

"Okay, okay. I just love to see lively girls like you."

That day, Bai Ningwei taught Empress Dowager Feng gymnastics. When she returned to Lingqi Palace, she was followed by six palace maids, each holding a tray and a treasure box in her hands. She was extremely popular in the harem.

In the words of Empress Dowager Feng, children who have never seen the world need to be pampered with fine things. Two is too few, four is unlucky, and six is ​​just right.

Since then, Bai Ningwei's status in the harem has become increasingly higher.

Bai Ningwei still kept the door closed. Apart from paying her respects to the Queen and chatting with her every day to relieve her boredom, and doing aerobics with the Queen Mother, she avoided all social activities.

New Year is here in the blink of an eye.

The same palace banquet, the same excitement. However, Bai Ningwei's position was slightly different. She was seated directly in the row of concubines, skipping two levels.

The concubines in the palace started talking about this, but Bai Ningwei remained calm.

This position was assigned by the Queen Mother because she said that the palace banquet should be a happy day, so she should see more people who can make her happy.

Bai Ningwei was one of the people who could make her happy, so this seat was naturally placed higher up. The eight plates and twelve bowls she had been longing for were right in front of her, but Bai Ningwei felt a little lost in the food.

The Queen Mother's actions had really aroused her hatred. The palace was already full of hidden attacks and traps. She had to be a hundred times more careful in the future.

Just as the palace maids were serving the dishes in an orderly manner, Concubine Ji beside her suddenly turned around and spoke to her.

"I heard that Hui Mei is teaching the Empress Dowager the Youth Exercises. I wonder when I can come to your palace and learn a few of these Youth Exercises when I am free."

"Ah. If you're free after the New Year, I'll definitely come and bother you."

Although she was reluctant, since Concubine Ji had spoken so bluntly, Bai Ningwei could not refuse and could only agree against her will.

"Then I would like to thank my sister here first."

Jipin raised her glass to show her gratitude, and Bai Ningwei had to do the same.

But before the wine glass touched her lips, the maid serving the food lost her footing and stumbled towards Bai Ningwei. Fortunately, the maid was well-trained and managed to control herself so that she didn't actually fall on Bai Ningwei.

But the glass of wine in my hand was spilled after all.

There is something wrong with this palace maid.

Bai Ningwei noticed from the beginning that the maids who served the dishes were random, but the one who served her the dishes was always the same. This arrangement was too deliberate, so she didn't eat much during the entire banquet.

However, she was not too worried that someone would poison the food. Today was the New Year's palace banquet, which was of great significance. No one would dare to cause trouble at this time if they did not want to be eliminated by the Nine Clans.

After all, there are 365 days in a year, and there is no day that can't be used for palace fighting and scheming. There is no need to choose this kind of day.

Bai Ningwei smiled apologetically at Jipin, filled her glass again and raised it, and saw that the expression on Jipin's face was a little unnatural.

That expression was incredibly revealing. With a jolt of disbelief, Bai Ningwei wondered if there was something fishy about that glass of wine. Was this a big deal?

But now it is the New Year's Palace Banquet, and here are not only the emperor, empress, and concubines, but also a group of princes and important court officials.

If anyone stirs up trouble today, no matter who is being plotted against, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the royal family, or even the emperor. The wrath of the emperor and the wide range of consequences will be unimaginable.

It is impossible for Concubine Ji not to know these principles.

Bai Ningwei pretended to put down her wine glass, her heartbeat quickening. She was genuinely frightened by her own guess.

But her guess was soon verified.

Because Jipin suddenly started laughing.

At first, he just lowered his head, laughing silently, his body shaking and his shoulders trembling.

Soon, uncontrollable laughter overflowed.

The matter was serious. Concubine Ji had obviously been tricked and had lost her composure in public. Bai Ningwei couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.
