I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

"In this case, Sister Chen Fei does not need to pay her respects to you these days. Just stay in the palace and take care of your pregnancy." The Queen was very angry in her heart, but on the surface she still had to maintain the tolerant attitude of a mother of a country.

Since the people sent by the Queen Mother said so, the Queen could not hold on to this little impoliteness and refuse to give in. No matter what, she could not really fight with Concubine Chen in front of so many people.

She is the queen, and while her status is more honorable, she also bears more responsibilities. Concubine Chen can rely on the emperor's favor and the queen mother's partiality to act recklessly, but she cannot.

At least, you can't do that on the surface. As for the hidden obstacles, I don't know how many of them will be used.

"Then I would like to thank the Queen for her tolerance." Concubine Chen bowed and turned to leave.

Yu Meiren and a group of other concubines who had become completely dependent on Chen Fei hurriedly followed her when they saw her leaving.

The queen's face became more and more ugly, but in the end she said nothing. The other concubines also understood that these two big guys were in a period of fighting, and any of them who intervened would not have a good ending, so they all looked unmoved.

The queen said a few more polite words and then sent everyone away.

"Sister Liangpin, please stay." When Liu Zhirou saw Liangpin was about to leave, she quickly took two steps to catch up with her.

"What's wrong? Sister Chun." Liangpin turned around with some surprise. The two of them were just nodding acquaintances, so she was very confused and puzzled about Liu Zhirou's sudden call to her.

"Sister Liangpin, are you going to visit Queen Concubine Xian? I happen to have something to do with Queen Concubine Xian, so why don't we go together?" Liu Zhirou wanted to hitchhike.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Look at my brain, I almost forgot that Sister Chun came from the palace of Concubine Xian. To be honest, Concubine Xian really kept people in her palace. Back then, Concubine Li..." Concubine Liang was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized that what she said might have violated a taboo, so she stopped immediately and smiled apologetically at Liu Zhirou.

Liu Zhirou also responded with a smile.

She couldn't help but think about it. Tan Xiang had also taught her a lot recently, and she now had a certain understanding of the power distribution in the palace. Under the queen, there were now four concubines and six concubines, but there was no Li concubine.

Among the concubines, Liu Zhirou herself is one, and there is also Concubine Wan who was the first to speak to her, Concubine Liang who usually speaks for the Empress, Concubine Hui and Concubine Gong who are not particularly familiar, and Concubine Jing who has been ill for many years and has rarely been seen.

As far as Liu Zhirou knew, there was no such person as Lipin.

But soon, she thought of another rather mysterious person in Concubine Xian's palace - Zhang Xianshi.

Xianfei had said before that this Zhang Xianshi was once favored. If so, she is very likely the Lipin mentioned by Liang Ping. It's just that for some reason, she became lonely and was demoted. But judging from the fact that she still has a life, she should not have done anything serious. The emperor should still have some affection for her.

Liu Zhirou quickly figured this out, and a gentle smile appeared on her face again. She and Concubine Liang went to visit Weiyang Palace together.

"What day is today? Why are both my sisters here to visit me?" Concubine Xian ordered Miao'er, who was serving beside her, to welcome the two people in.

She did not stand up to greet them. With the qualifications of Liu Zhirou and the others, there was indeed no need for Concubine Xian to stand up to greet them. The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Liu Zhirou took the lead in opening the topic.

"Your Highness, do you still remember those two children, Jixiang and Ruyi? After I moved to Changchun Palace, I didn't feel anything at first, but when I got up the next morning, I was a little uncomfortable without them. So I shamelessly wanted to talk to you and ask for them to go."

"I thought it was some big deal. Sister Chunpin is taking it too seriously. For such a small matter, can't you just send a servant to inform us? Why do you need to come and visit in person?" Xianfei said nonchalantly. Her reaction was quite real and accurate. For the head of a palace, the fate of a few palace maids was not a big deal.

The reaction of Concubine Xian was very normal, but when Liu Zhirou thought about what she saw last night, she became a little doubtful.

"Then I would like to thank you first." Liu Zhirou thanked her and then asked: "Your Majesty, how is Ziyi? When I paid my respects to her today, I saw that she looked a little unhappy."

"Oh, it's her. She wanted to stay cool when she slept yesterday, and she said she felt a little uncomfortable when she woke up this morning. I wanted to report a disease to avoid the trouble again and again. She didn't allow me to, but I went anyway. After she came back, she lay down. You should go and see her. I felt that you two got along very well before, and you were always inseparable." Concubine Xian told Liu Zhirou very readily.

Liu Zhirou found that what she had come here to do this time went surprisingly smoothly, and both of her goals were achieved.
