Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 226

Pei Fang liked hearing this, and her mood improved considerably.

"Then come with me to Chuxiu Palace."

Yun Xiyue didn't want to go, but Pei Fang insisted on dragging her along.

Those who could enter the Chuxiu Palace were all already selected as imperial concubines.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine." They were all stunning beauties, quite a sight to behold.

Being an emperor must be great.

Seeing Zhou Zhilan bow to her, Pei Fang felt extremely pleased. "Get up, everyone!"

"Once you enter the Chuxiu Palace, you are a concubine. I hope everyone will abide by the rules. If anyone dares to seduce the Emperor, I will not let them off lightly."

Pei Fang came to Chuxiu Palace to establish his authority.

Many of the young women were afraid of her.

"From today onwards, Miss Yun will be the steward of Chuxiu Palace."

Suddenly, Yun Xiyue's expression changed slightly. This matter had not been discussed with her at all. "Your Majesty..."

Pei Fang smiled and said, "I can't manage it all by myself. Chuxiu Palace needs a lot of things, so I'll leave it to you, Xiyue, from now on."

"Even the Emperor praised you for being intelligent and capable, a rare and good minister who can share the Emperor's burdens, so you can certainly share mine."

Yun Xiyue said, "Xiyue dares not, this matter requires His Majesty's permission."

“Yes! Even if the Imperial Concubine is now in charge of the Phoenix Seal, she can’t just make decisions on her own like this! There was already a steward in Chuxiu Palace. Why should she be replaced if she hasn’t made any mistakes?” Zhou Zhilan said at this moment.

Pei Fang's lips curled into a smile as she looked at the woman. "How dare you! You're just a concubine, not the Empress yet! How dare you speak to me like that?"

She actually came here with the air of an empress?

Zhou Zhilan glanced at Yun Xiyue. If this woman were to enter the palace and become the steward of Chuxiu Palace, it would definitely be detrimental to her. "This humble woman is only speaking out for the nannies of Chuxiu Palace. Besides, Your Majesty is forcing people to do things against their will. Miss Yun clearly does not want to enter the palace."

"That's none of your business to tell me what to do." Pei Fang sneered, and as she spoke, she raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face.

Zhou Zhilan screamed and fell to the ground, a clear handprint on her delicate face, red and swollen, which only made her snow-white skin stand out even more.

She covered her face, her eyes darkening before quickly revealing a pitiful expression.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry."

"Hmph, who are you trying to impress with that act?" Pei Fang was furious when she saw her and wanted to tear her face apart.

"No...Your Majesty, help me!"

Zhou Zhilan cried with a look of fear on her face.

"What's all the noise about?"

A cold voice came from behind.

It really is the emperor who has arrived.

Everyone was startled and quickly knelt down to pay their respects.

Pei Fang didn't kneel or even bow before running to the man and grabbing his robe. "Cousin~ Why didn't you say anything when you came? You scared me to death."

Her voice was so sweet and delicate, it seemed to drip with moisture.

She was completely different from the vicious concubine who had just slapped someone in the face.

Yun Xiyue's eyes widened, feeling that she could learn many new skills every time she came to the harem.

If I were to actually enter the palace one day, perhaps I could save my life.

Murong Yu remained cold and aloof, completely ignoring Pei Fang's sweet and charming voice, as if he were deaf and blind. He pulled back his robe and asked, "Who let you come to Chuxiu Palace?"

These words feel like a self-questioning statement.

Yun Xiyue immediately lowered her head and leaned back, imitating the palace maids by looking at her toes, trying her best not to be noticed.

Pei Fang said in a sweet and coquettish voice, "Today, many young ladies have entered the Chuxiu Palace. I wanted them to look beautiful during the selection process, so I asked Miss Yun to send over some rouge from the Beauty Hall."

"Who would have thought that Miss Zhou would slander the rouge of Meiren Hall because of personal grudges? Such a lack of manners is why I reprimanded her."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhilan was instantly furious. "Your Majesty, that's not how it is. She's lying. I did not slander the rouge from the Beauty Hall. It was the Noble Consort who wanted to replace the head nanny of the Chuxiu Palace without permission."

“Miss Yun was unwilling, and she even forced her to enter the palace as the head nanny of Chuxiu Palace. I only spoke up for her and Her Majesty slapped me.”
