Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

Concubine Liu was so ashamed by Li Tingting's scolding that she kept her head down.

Her mind, which had been in a daze, was finally beginning to clear.

Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine, and I have to admit how lucky Concubine Liu was.

Just as Li Qianqian said, the lucky person she met was Li Tingting.

If it were any other matriarch, she would have been killed long ago for acting so recklessly.

Li Qianqian listened quietly from the side, her heart also pounding with anxiety.

"What's wrong? Are you not making a fuss anymore? You stopped crying so quickly?"

"Aren't you very talkative? Aren't you very good at making a scene?"

Seeing that Concubine Liu had kept her head down and was no longer crying or making a fuss, Li Tingting...

He asked angrily.

Seeing this, the eldest prince chuckled and stepped forward, intending to act as a peacemaker.

"Sister, you see, my mother-in-law knows she was wrong, please forgive her this once!"

She was just confused for a moment.

"Yes, yes, sister, my mother was just confused for a moment, please don't take it to heart."

Li Qianqian nodded in agreement when she heard what the eldest prince said.

Because Li Tingting's words just now hit the nail on the head, striking at the heart of the matter.

The insults left Concubine Liu speechless; not only did she not know what to say, but she was also completely at a loss for words.

Even Li Qianqian didn't know how to persuade Li Tingting.

"Tingting, I was wrong. Now that you've said that, I realize how terribly wrong I really was."

Concubine Liu saw that the eldest prince and Li Qianqian had given her a way out.

Seize the opportunity to apologize to Li Tingting and hope to gain her forgiveness.

"It's too late to know now. Since you really want to leave the General's Mansion..."

Then let's leave! Ever since I returned from Peach Blossom River,

I've never had a moment's rest, I really don't have time to play these palace intrigue games with you.

I will tell the housekeeper that I will include it in Qianqian's betrothal gifts later.

Here's ten thousand taels of silver for you. From now on, you'd better take care of yourself!

After Li Tingting finished speaking, she turned and left without waiting for anyone's response.

Concubine Liu froze on the spot, exchanging bewildered glances with Li Qianqian.

The eldest prince stared in astonishment at Li Tingting's retreating figure.

According to ancient rules and etiquette, the demands made by Concubine Liu would be...

Regardless of the position of any matriarch, her actions would have been indistinguishable from those of any other matriarch.

It's impossible for any woman to agree to this; once she becomes someone else's concubine,

That was just someone's lifelong possession, like how Concubine Liu was forcibly sold to a brothel by Li Tingting.

Even the eldest prince couldn't do anything about Li Tingting.

Li Qianqian was also deeply moved by Li Tingting's generosity and tolerance.

Her eyes were red and painful as she watched Li Tingting's retreating figure and called out.

"sister,......."

It's clear that Li Tingting truly loves her and regrets her past foolishness.

She always followed her mother and secretly plotted against her older sister.

Actually, if this Li Tingting were the original Li Tingting,

Therefore, Li Tingting would absolutely not let Liu Xiaoqie go.

However, this Li Tingting is a Li Tingting who traveled from the future.

As someone with a futuristic way of thinking, Li Tingting naturally felt that since her father...

Since they've already passed away, let's not waste their youth and happiness.

Besides, she always has too many things to do, and she doesn't want to go home every day.

She also had to deal with the power struggles within the household involving Concubine Liu; after all, harmony in the family is essential for prosperity.

Forgiving others is forgiving yourself.

......

Cining Palace.

Consort Zhen was dressed in a magnificent palace gown, her skirt swaying in the breeze.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, her skin like snow, and her demeanor gentle and elegant.

She also exudes intelligence and grace, possessing both the beauty of a concubine and the demeanor of a happy young woman.

She was nothing like her usual self, who was always frowning or gloomy.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be well!"

"Haha, sister, no need for formalities. Please come and take a seat. I haven't seen you for many days."

I am very worried about you.

Today, I specially ordered the chef to prepare bird's nest soup and invited my sister to come and taste it together.

Consort Zhen knew perfectly well why the Empress had summoned her today.

But to feign ignorance, she immediately put on an expression of ecstatic joy.

He looked at the Empress with a smile.

"Thank you, sister, thank you! It's rare to see someone so busy with so many things."

You even thought of your younger sister! I'm truly flattered!

"Silly sister, you and I, sisters, will serve the Emperor together."

We're family, so naturally we should spend more time together.

The Empress replied with a smile.

Before long, the palace maids brought out the bird's nest, and the Empress invited Consort Zhen to begin enjoying it.

While the two were eating bird's nest, the Empress took the opportunity to jokingly inquire about Consort Zhen.

"Little sister, when I saw you today, I noticed that your skin and complexion were better than usual."

"You're much better than usual. It seems you've been in a good mood lately."

"Oh, thank you for the compliment, sister. It's nothing at all."

However, my younger sister has recently become more relaxed, and she spends her free time learning embroidery from the palace maids.

Firstly, it's a way to cultivate one's character; secondly, it's a good way to pass the time.

I've simply become much more grounded.

Consort Zhen was a shrewd person, so of course her reply was watertight.

Upon seeing this, the Empress's smile deepened.

She noticed nothing unusual about Consort Zhen.

Therefore, the purpose of summoning Consort Zhen was decided.

Get straight to the point.

The Empress frowned and sighed softly.

"Um, why are you sighing for no reason, sister? Did someone upset you?"

"Oh, no, sister, haven't you heard?"

When Consort Zhen heard the Empress sigh, she knew that the Empress was about to get to the point.

So, she sensibly opened up the Empress's mouth, pretending to be completely bewildered.

Seeing that Consort Zhen was so understanding, the Empress didn't hide anything, "Sister,..."

My sister heard that this morning, the Emperor inquired about the matter of establishing a crown prince in court.

Lord Wu Lixin of the Wu family kept praising the Second Prince in front of the Emperor.

The older sister found it strange; why was the Wu family suddenly speaking up for the Second Prince?

Consort Zhen chuckled inwardly; as expected, this was the reason for their visit.

But she slammed her hand on the table and stood up, feigning anger, "What?"

How dare my uncle spout such nonsense! It's outrageous!

Sister, don't worry, I'll definitely find him and get to the bottom of this.

In fact, she understood better than anyone else.

Seeing Consort Zhen's anger, the Empress was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure whether it was genuine or not.

It seems this matter has nothing to do with Consort Zhen, especially considering the relationship between the Second Prince and Consort Zhen.

There seemed to be no conflict of interest, which is why the Empress could basically trust Consort Zhen.

Thinking of this, the Empress secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she was the empress, killing a concubine would have been incredibly easy for her.

But it also depends on who that person is. If it's Consort Zhen or Consort Hui...

That would be much more difficult, since Consort Zhen had the support of the Wu family.

Consort Hui had the support of the Li family.

Even with their powerful backgrounds, the Empress had no choice but to resort to appeasement.

I won't deal with them unless I have no other choice.
