After a broken heart, I traveled through time and space and became an abandoned concubine. My fate i

On the second day of classes at the Harem School, the morning sun still shone through the carved window lattices into the spacious classroom, but those strands of light seemed unable to dispel the increasingly tense atmosphere.

Concubine Liu, with her calm personality, still sat upright in the front row, dressed in a simple and elegant light blue palace dress, her sleeves fluttering like a fairy descending to earth. Her hair was neatly tied up like a carefully crafted work of art, not a single strand out of place, and a few strands of hair gently hung by her ears, adding a touch of gentleness. She stared intently at the teacher on the podium in front of her, holding the brush tightly in her hand. The brush seemed like her sharp sword on this battlefield of knowledge, always ready to record the key points. She knew very well that in this deep harem, knowledge was an important asset for her to gain a foothold, and she dared not slack off at all. Regarding the jealousy and petty actions of Concubine Yun and others last time, she chose to endure and focus on studying, but she was also secretly vigilant in her heart. At this moment, she frowned slightly, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and listened attentively to the teacher's explanation, thinking to herself: "No matter what, this palace must rely on knowledge to gain a firm foothold in this harem, and must not be disturbed by the means of these villains."

The lively, active and narrow-minded Concubine Yun sat in the back row, wearing a gorgeous pink brocade. The brocade was embroidered with a profusion of flowers, but it could not hide the desolation in her heart. The pearls and jade on her bun swayed and shone, and every shake was like the cry of jealousy in her heart. She seemed to be fiddling with her handkerchief nonchalantly, but the handkerchief was almost wrinkled by her. From the corner of her eyes, she glared at Concubine Liu fiercely from time to time. Her eyes were like poisonous arrows, and the fire of jealousy in her heart burned more vigorously than the scorching sun in midsummer. She secretly vowed to make Concubine Liu look bad, so as to relieve the hatred in her heart. At this moment, she pouted, her brows twisted into a knot, and she muttered softly: "Humph, let's see how long you can be proud of yourself. I will definitely make you lose face in front of everyone."

The teacher was explaining a profound ancient article on the podium, shaking his head. His voice was sometimes low and sometimes high, like the ups and downs of a mountain stream. When the teacher came to the exciting part, his hands would wave unconsciously, and his passionate expression seemed to instill the essence of this ancient article into everyone present. Concubine Liu frowned slightly and thought seriously, as if she was solving an ancient mystery. She paused for a moment, pursed her lips, and then opened her red lips and actively responded to the teacher's question. Her answer was accurate and profound, and she received the teacher's praise again. The teacher stroked his beard, his eyes full of admiration: "Your Highness, Concubine Xian is extremely intelligent and is indeed a person with great potential." But this praise sounded like a shrill whistle in Yunpin's ears. Yunpin's face suddenly became gloomy, and she clenched the handkerchief in her hand into a ball. She thought bitterly in her heart: "Why does she always get the teacher's praise? I will definitely make her suffer."

Seeing this, Yunpin's unhappiness flooded like a broken dam. She bit her lip secretly, almost bleeding, and gave Lipin beside her a subtle look, the malice hidden in that look seemed to devour people. Lipin trembled slightly and looked at Yunpin hesitantly, feeling a little scared but not daring to disobey Yunpin's wishes.

The bell had just rung, signaling the end of get out of class. Just as Concubine Liu was about to rise, a sudden scream emanated from her seat, shattering the previously peaceful atmosphere. Someone had placed sharp thorns on Concubine Liu's chair, the thorns gleaming coldly in the sunlight, a chilling effect. Upon hearing the noise, the teacher hurried over, his expression as solemn as the sky, his brow furrowed in a frown. He shouted, "Who has done this?"

At that moment, Imperial Concubine Su and the Emperor arrived at the academy for an inspection. Imperial Concubine Su frowned and asked in a delicate voice, "What's going on?" Her voice was filled with authority, and her gaze swept across the crowd fiercely.

Yunpin quickly spoke up, "Sister Xianfei, maybe you did this on purpose to gain sympathy, so that everyone would feel sorry for you." Her voice was shrill and malicious, and there was a hint of gloating smile on her face, but in her heart she was worried: "Don't let it be discovered that I did this."

Concubine Liu Xianfei looked aggrieved, her eyes slightly red, tears welling up in them, her voice trembling: "Sister Yunpin, please don't slander me. How could I degrade myself like this?" She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her heart filled with anger and grievance: "Yunpin, you are so vicious, and one day you will suffer the consequences of your own actions."

Just when everyone was confused, the emperor, who was observing calmly from the side, noticed with his sharp eyes that the palace maid beside Concubine Yun looked panicked, her eyes were evasive, there were even beads of sweat on her forehead, and her body was shaking constantly.

The emperor's face darkened and he ordered majestically: "Come here, search her for me!" Several guards stepped forward quickly and found the remaining thorns on the palace maid.

Concubine Yun hurriedly defended herself, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. I must have been framed. Your Majesty, please be discerning!" Her voice grew increasingly anxious, and her body began to tremble unconsciously. Her legs gave way, and she nearly fell to her knees. She was in a state of panic, thinking, "It's over, it's over! What if they find out?"

But at this moment, another palace maid came hurriedly to report that the precious book lost by Concubine Liu was found in Yunpin's palace. It was specially lent by the teacher to Concubine Liu for study, and there were also annotations unique to Concubine Liu on it.

Concubine Yun cried out in injustice, her voice shrill: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!" Her face was pale, and her hands were waving non-stop. At this moment, her heart was filled with fear and despair: "How could this be? Is this really the end of me?"

Seeing this, Imperial Concubine Su stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yun and Concubine Li may have been momentarily confused. I hope Your Majesty will show leniency." The Master also bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down and don't let such a trivial matter ruin your mood. This academy is a place for the pursuit of knowledge. I hope Your Majesty will prioritize education."

The emperor snorted coldly: "In that case, this matter will be handled by the Master."

The teacher thought for a moment and said, "Princess Yun and Concubine Li, I will punish you by reciting the text to everyone on the podium. If you can't recite it, the punishment will be doubled."

Concubine Yun and Concubine Li walked up to the podium with trepidation, their faces grim. Concubine Yun picked up the book, her hands trembling, her voice halting, and her recitation halting. Concubine Li was so nervous that her mind went blank, and she couldn't recite a single word. The audience whispered among themselves, while others looked at her with disdain.
