Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"You are my concubine, so it's perfectly normal for me to bestow upon you the title of Consort. You don't need to bow here anymore."

Shangguan Tian'er was surprised that Qin Yanling would waive the formalities; such a request truly shocked her.

Shangguan Tian'er then turned her attention to Xu Jiu.

I don't know why, but for a moment I felt that Qin Yanling was a bit of a jerk.

"Your Majesty, your sister is still here. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say these things now?"

When Shangguan Tian'er said this, Qin Yanling unexpectedly said it didn't matter.

"I don't really care at all, as long as my sister is happy."

At this moment, the ministers in the court planned to consult with Qin Yanling.

Ultimately, Qin Yanling had no choice but to leave this place.

After Qin Yanling left this place, Shangguan Tian'er asked Xu Jiu a question.

"There's something I want to ask you, sister. In your heart, has the emperor ever existed? I don't know why, but I always feel that you don't seem to like the emperor at all."

"Indeed, I don't really like the Emperor. You must be Yuzhu from the Princess's residence."

Shangguan Tian'er told Xu Jiu, "You are really smart. I didn't expect you to have already guessed that I am Yu Zhu. Just now, even the emperor did not guess that I was Yu Zhu."

To be honest, Qin Yanling really didn't guess that Shangguan Tian'er was Yuzhu just now.

"Have you entered the palace for the sake of the princess?"

"You guessed right. I am indeed in the palace now to become a capable assistant to the princess."

Xu Jiu then asked Shangguan Tian'er, "Does Your Highness still dislike me lately?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Tian'er told Xu Jiu that Qin Yu had not mentioned Xu Jiu's matter recently.

"So, sister, you don't need to think too much. The moment I entered the palace, Her Highness the Princess told me to protect you well and to make sure you give birth to all the children."

Just then, the concubines appointed by the emperor were already bowing to Xu Jiu.

When they arrived at this place, Xu Jiu had already asked them to sit down, but he didn't want them to come here.

After all, Xu Jiu preferred quiet places. When she saw them arrive, a strange look appeared in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Finally, Xu Jiu told Shangguan Tian'er, "Now, besides myself, you are the most senior. You stay here and talk to them on my behalf. I'm a little tired."

Afterwards, only Shangguan Tian'er remained. Since she was alone in this place, Shangguan Tian'er had certainly agreed. She turned her gaze to the concubines, who, seeing that Xu Jiu wasn't there, couldn't help but inquire, "Why are you here instead of seeing my sister? Where is she? We've all come to pay our respects to her."

"I'm so sorry, she's a little tired right now, so she's gone to rest. You can just tell me whatever you want to say. In this palace, besides my sister, I am the one with the highest status. You can tell me anything you want to say."

The concubines below stared at Shangguan Tian'er with cold faces, as if Shangguan Tian'er didn't exist at all in their eyes.

"Yes, I have something to tell you. Don't try anything funny here, or I'll show you what it means to be gone for good and what it means to be bedridden for half a month."

None of them expected to be given such a tough start right away. They had all entered the palace together, but the person in front of them was a concubine, while some of the others were noble ladies or lowly ladies-in-waiting.

One of them was Wu Wu's daughter, and this person immediately rushed up, intending to deal with her.

"With your mediocre skills, you think you can deal with me here? You're just delusional. It seems I need to teach you a lesson about respect and hierarchy."

At this moment, Shangguan Tian'er walked directly to the concubine and, without hesitation, used a capture move. The concubine successfully knelt on the ground, crying out in pain.

Xu Jiu was resting when he heard screams outside. He couldn't help but come out, and to his surprise, he saw Shangguan Tian'er subduing people. He was truly astonished.

She never expected that Shangguan Tian'er would be dealing with these concubines here. It was only the first day, yet it had already caused such chaos. It was quite a headache for Xu Jiu. However, Shangguan Tian'er's strength was indeed quite high, and these people had no way to deal with her.

"I never expected that on the very first day, you would all be making such a racket. It's really exhausting for me. I want to ask you all, you are all sisters in the harem, can't you get along peacefully? Why do you have to be making such a fuss here?"

Xu Jiu questioned the concubines present. Upon hearing what Xu Jiu said, the concubines were at a loss for words and could only keep their mouths shut.

"There is something I want to tell you. In this palace, besides myself, Consort Shu has the highest rank. So, in addition to listening to me, you also need to listen to Consort Shu. Otherwise, if this matter reaches His Majesty, it may very well affect your families."

They all nodded slightly as they listened, and eventually they left the place. Once outside, they started discussing it animatedly.

"What do you think this Consort Shu is? Why did she become a Consort right after arriving? It makes me a little suspicious, unlike me who is just a lowly Lady-in-Waiting."

They told her right there that this person was Shangguan Nantian's daughter, and that her brother was Shangguan Mufeng.

More importantly, it seems that her brother is about to marry the governor's daughter.

Today, they can be said to have the capital to be arrogant.
