I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

After Liu Zhirou delivered the things, she chatted briefly with her sister and then left.

She couldn't stay with the other party for too long. The relationship between the sisters Liu Zhirou and Liu Zhijin was not particularly close. In fact, Liu Zhirou was proud of her status and often looked down on her younger sister.

She could explain that she asked Liu Ming to keep Liu Zhijin for the sake of the family, but if she showed special care for Liu Zhijin in every way, it would be too conspicuous.

Liu Zhijin can be abnormal, but Liu Zhirou must be normal.

On the way back to her own courtyard, Liu Zhirou asked about Qiu Ju casually.

"Qiuju, how many years have you been in our house?"

"Miss, I came to your mansion twelve years ago and have been serving you for seven years." Qiuju seemed a little surprised, but quickly reacted and answered Liu Zhirou's question.

"Seven years? That's a really long time. What are your plans for the future?" Liu Zhirou got the expected reply and continued asking while the iron was hot.

"Miss, I have no plans for the future. I will be wherever you are. As long as you don't mind, I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life." Qiuju answered sincerely.

"You really make me at a loss for words. Although my future days may seem glorious, I don't know what kind of suffering I will have to endure. If you follow me, I guess you won't get any good results." Liu Zhirou sighed sincerely this time.

Indeed, after she entered the palace, she had to show weakness to accumulate energy, but she also had to keep making trouble.

Only by making the situation more chaotic can she find out the details of the energy bar and find a way to return home.

"Miss, I am not afraid of hardship, I am just afraid that you will not want me." Qiuju knelt down with tears in her eyes.

Liu Zhirou quickly helped her up, said many comforting words, and promised to take her into the palace.

Liu Zhirou also understood that Qiu Ju’s decision to enter the palace was not necessarily because she wanted to help her, but more likely because she wanted to reverse the verdict for her former family.

But Qiu Ju used her to enter the palace, so wasn't she also using Qiu Ju to attract the emperor's attention?

Although Liu Zhirou felt that it was ridiculous that the emperor, as the male protagonist, could recognize the female protagonist, who was only four years old when they met, thirteen years later.

But no matter how absurd something is, as long as it happens, it must have a meaning.

Moreover, it is not necessarily that the emperor had only met the heroine before Prime Minister Shen fell. After all, as the emperor, he has enormous power at his disposal. Perhaps he has been secretly sending people to keep an eye on the heroine Qiu Ju over the years.

As the ruler of a country, the power that the emperor can mobilize is completely different from that of a poor little thing like Liu Zhirou.

Although Liu Zhirou also asked her father Liu Ming to check the background of these girls around him, until now, Liu Ming has not even found out whose daughter Qiu Ju is, why she became an orphan, what her previous name was, etc.

Liu Zhirou was not too dissatisfied with this. No matter how smart Liu Ming was, he was just a businessman.

How well she does will depend on how she reacts after she enters the palace.

Thinking this way, Liu Zhirou returned to the yard and began to exercise using fitness techniques.

She has now completely given up on training herself to acquire the skills of music, chess, calligraphy and painting that her original owner possessed, and is only focusing on physical training.

After all, skills like music, chess, calligraphy and painting which require time to hone cannot be acquired in just two days of training. If she doesn't do well at home, it will arouse other people's suspicion.

What's more, it is still unknown whether these skills can be used after entering the palace. The emperor is not in the mood to talk about love with every concubine.

Liu Zhirou was not afraid of her low status when she entered the palace. She was only afraid that she would not be able to find her position clearly. If she became arrogant and got hit hard, it would be difficult for her to turn things around.

"Miss, why do you always do some weird movements recently? Will you hurt yourself?" Chuntao endured for a long time, but finally couldn't help asking this question.

Chuntao knew in her heart that it was not right for a servant to say such things, but she couldn't help it. After serving her young lady for so many years, she had already regarded her young lady as a relative.

Liu Zhirou planned to bring her into the palace largely because of this. Although Chuntao was not necessarily very smart, she was very loyal.

Naturally, she had also thought of an explanation for this fitness technique.

"I once dreamt of an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard. He taught me this strange set of postures, saying that they could strengthen my body and help me give birth to a son for the emperor. After I woke up, I recalled it very clearly, so I decided to practice it." Liu Zhirou wiped the sweat from her forehead and told Chuntao the story she had thought of early in the morning.

"Really? You are worthy of being a lady. You must be a person with great luck!" Chuntao looked very excited.

"Don't tell anyone else about this. After all, ghosts and gods are not popular in this dynasty. If someone asks, tell him that this is one of the secret books that father found for me. It can increase the chances of conceiving a child." Liu Zhirou ordered.

What she said was not necessarily wrong. In order for her to quickly gain favor and win the emperor's heart after entering the palace, Liu Ming prepared a lot of relevant information for her, including many of these fitness techniques. This matter was originally untraceable.

Just when the master and servant were having a great time, Dongmei suddenly rushed in in a panic.

As soon as Liu Zhirou saw her, she secretly thought that something was wrong. She thought of what happened to Liu Zhijing and was afraid that she would tell her immediately that Zhao had beaten Aunt Bai to death.

However, the good news is that this bad news has nothing to do with Aunt Bai.

"Oh no, Miss! The master and the mistress want to beat Xia He to death!" Dongmei cried breathlessly.

"What's going on? Explain yourself clearly!" Liu Zhirou pressed her temple, feeling distressed. She felt a headache whenever she heard Dongmei's words.

"Yes, yes, miss. This morning, Sister Qiao'er, who was beside the eldest mistress, discovered that the eldest master was not in a good state, so she broke into his bedroom and found Xia He, whose clothes were in disarray! Now the master and the mistress are very angry..." Dongmei stuttered and it took her a long time to make her words clear.

"This little slut! Miss has never let her down, but she wants to seduce the young master. How can Miss save her face?" Chun Tao was extremely angry. "She should be beaten to death!"

Even so, Liu Zhirou couldn't really just sit there and watch. Not to mention that Xia He had watched her grow up, if someone around her made a mistake, her family would definitely look for her. But they definitely wouldn't reprimand her, after all, she was about to go to the palace to be a mistress.

Liu Zhirou didn't plan to wait for others to come to her, and decided to go and take a look first.
