Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

Yonghe Palace.

When Xiao Lezi arrived with the congratulatory gifts, he ran into Zhen Huan's chief eunuch, Xiao Yunzi, in front of the Yonghe Palace gate. The two of them coming in and coming out didn't seem to cause any conflict... just kidding!

There are unwritten rules in the palace for giving rewards. Only after the high-ranking empresses and ladies-in-waiting have given their rewards can the lower-ranking concubines receive them, otherwise it would be considered presumptuous.

He, Xiao Lezi, deliberately chose this time to leave the house after Consort Jing and before Consort Jin, so there's no way he could have made a mistake.

Who is this Consort Zhen? She actually sent someone to deliver gifts at this time. Xiao Lezi's gaze towards Xiao Yunzi was clearly unfriendly.

Xiao Yunzi bowed his head and gave Xiao Lezi a deep bow: "This servant greets Eunuch Le."

Xiao Lezi sneered, deliberately using a sarcastic tone: "Oh, I thought you were some favorite of the empress, but it turns out you're just Xiao Yunzi from Suiyu Pavilion. You're really getting better and better at this job."

Xiao Yunzi looked up at Xiao Lezi with a forced smile: "You flatter me, sir. My mistress is simply delighted to have a new companion in the harem. I'm sure Consort Zhuang feels the same way."

A chill spread through Xiao Lezi's eyes. What a fool who doesn't know his own mortality!

No wonder their empress always calls Consort Zhen a lowly person; this lowly servant is really following her example.

Before Xiao Lezi could speak, Xiao Yunzi added rather arrogantly, "Oh, this servant misspoke. Consort Zhuang hasn't served the emperor in a long time, and now Consort Zhao has suddenly appeared, being granted the title of Noble Lady upon her first conferment. In the future, I'm afraid..."

Although Xiao Yunzi didn't say everything, who couldn't understand the meaning behind her words?

Xiao Lezi was so angry he laughed: "What an audacious dog! How dare he speak ill of the empresses and ladies! Someone, report this servant's actions to Consort Hua for judgment."

what?

Xiao Yunzi's smugness was instantly replaced by surprise, and she looked at Xiao Lezi with disbelief.

What happened? Why didn't Xiao Lezi order someone to beat him up directly?

Xiao Lezi saw the look of surprise in Xiao Yunzi's eyes and a smug smile appeared on her lips.

What an arrogant fool!

Did he really think that a few seemingly provocative words would make him lose his temper and risk offending the favored concubine to cause a scene outside the Yonghe Palace?

"What a bunch of scoundrels! You think you can just show up and embarrass yourself with a few tricks up your sleeve? Don't you even open your dog eyes and see if this is a place where you can act so recklessly!"

Xiao Lezi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and led his men through the gates of Yonghe Palace.

Let Consort Hua deal with this fool according to palace rules first, and then Eunuch Le will have plenty of ways to deal with this bastard later.

Behind him, a clever little eunuch was already heading towards Yikun Palace.

Xiao Yunzi stood there like a wooden statue, her face turning red and then pale, as shame, anger, regret, and embarrassment all welled up inside her.

He should have timed it right, closed his eyes, and charged forward, knocking the little boy carrying the congratulatory gift to the ground.

He had just checked; the little boy was carrying a pair of Ru ware flower gourds, which would shatter if dropped. No matter how cunning the little boy was, he would surely be furious if the gift broke.

Consort Zhuang has always liked to use various porcelain ornaments as congratulatory gifts; he should have thought of that earlier!

Xiao Yunzi walked back with a gloomy face. He hadn't done the things his mistress had asked him to do, and he might even incur the Consort's wrath. He had to hurry back to Suiyuxuan to inform his mistress.

As soon as Xiao Lezi stepped into Yonghe Palace, a wave of emotion welled up in her heart.

Two years ago, Xiao Lezi was just an inconspicuous lowly eunuch in the back hall of Yonghe Palace. Now that he has returned, he feels like he has returned home in glory.

"Eunuch Le?"

Just as Xiao Lezi was filled with emotion, a familiar voice entered his ears.

He looked closely and realized it was Lulu, the maid in the cat and dog room whom he had been specially instructed to take care of by his wife.

However, in just half a month, this down-and-out, pitiful palace maid had become a glamorous first-class palace maid, adorned with gold and silver, and no longer carrying the sorrow she once had.

Lulu looked at Xiao Lezi with delight in her eyes, a bright smile unconsciously appearing on her face. She teased Xiao Lezi familiarly, "Your father-in-law is a man of great importance, you don't recognize me after just half a month?"

"Lulu! I know her, I just don't dare to recognize her right now." Xiao Lezi knew perfectly well what was going on, but her face showed utter confusion. "Sigh, how come you..."

He seemed to remember something halfway through his sentence, and suddenly slapped his forehead, "When I first heard that you had been transferred to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I was both happy and worried. But seeing you today, I almost didn't recognize you. But I still have to congratulate you. I'll definitely give you a congratulatory gift later."

Lulu smiled, her attitude kind and subtly affectionate: "Then I thank you very much, Father-in-law."

I don't know whether I'm thanking them for their concern or for the kindness they showed me back then.

But Lulu didn't say a word more, because there was no need to say it aloud; she would always remember those kindnesses in her heart.

Although she knew very well that Eunuch Le was only kind to her because of the young mistress's request, after so many years of suffering in the palace, Eunuch Le was one of the few acts of kindness and beautiful memories she had encountered.

Xiao Lezi laughed along, glanced around at the palace servants in the courtyard, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Lulu, if I may ask, are you and Consort Zhao old acquaintances?"

Lulu nodded: "That's right. After the young mistress served the emperor, she asked someone to transfer me to serve her. I originally wanted to send a message to you, but the emperor's presence is different from other places. Please don't blame me."

Xiao Lezi waved her hand: "Hey, it's nothing. They all serve in the palace, do you think I don't know the implications? Are you some ignorant, strange girl?"

"I can only be happy for you, Miss. But now that you've been promoted, it would be a shame not to host a dinner party. First, I want to congratulate you, and second, I want to teach those blind fools a lesson."

Lulu was amused by the mischievousness in his words: "Alright, since you've spoken, Father-in-law, there's no reason not to. I'll set up two tables in the cat and dog room later, and I hope you'll attend."

Xiao Lezi chuckled and said, "Of course. Are you free tonight, miss?"

"Miss, you may not know, but our Princess Consort got married yesterday, and today she went to the palace to express her gratitude and received the Emperor's favor, which allows her to stay in the palace for a few more days."

"Our Lady was in a good mood and allocated some silver so that we servants could order a feast to celebrate. The feast will be set up in an empty room in the Imperial Kitchen. If you are free, Miss, I will come to pick you up after 9:00 PM to go together."

Lulu hesitated for a moment: "Thank you for your kindness, Eunuch, but His Majesty has already given an imperial edict that he will come to Yonghe Palace tonight to accompany our young mistress, so I may not be able to make it."

Although she wasn't the only one serving the young mistress, they were all assigned by the clan. The young mistress was dissatisfied with the clan's actions, and she didn't trust the people in the clan.
