I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Liu Zhirou didn’t know much about this and was too lazy to learn more.

Yu Meiren and she couldn't be considered enemies, but they were definitely not friends either. In this situation, it would undoubtedly be a very irrational thing to do to meddle in other people's affairs.

But to be honest, she could take this opportunity to get some information out of the beautiful lady Yu.

After all, after testing, the newly acquired Wu Wen Zi Shuo was found to be very powerful, and there were no particularly serious side effects.

In this case, she could have tried using it on those with higher status.

I didn't use it before because, on the one hand, I was afraid that the other party would break free from the effect of speaking without being asked and find that the facts were very different from what I imagined, thus causing a lot of trouble. On the other hand, I was also wary of those supernatural things.

Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Moreover, in the imperial palace where she is now, there seem to be traces of such supernatural things everywhere. Liu Zhirou has no way to seriously declare that she is a materialist and absolutely does not believe in these things.

In the presence of objective evidence, it is undoubtedly a form of superstition to still firmly deny the existence of these supernatural things.

So in this situation, Liu Zhirou did not dare to act rashly, even though she already had considerable strength in her hands.

And she had no intention of going deep into Chen Fei's palace.

She hated going deep into other people's territory, always feeling that there were many unpredictable dangers. She had caused trouble in the palace of Concubine Shu before, and unintentionally helped the emperor to overthrow Concubine Shu.

Although the emperor did not credit her for this assist, he still felt somewhat guilty towards her. This was not a particularly strong advantage for Liu Zhirou, but at least it was a slight advantage.

Liu Zhirou thought about it slowly and came up with the answer in her heart.

The second day's greetings were also uneventful. Concubine Chen was pregnant, so she did not come to Changning Palace to pay her respects, and naturally there was no one to oppose the Queen.

Ai Ziyi, who was also pregnant, did not come either. It was said that Concubine Xian wanted to take care of Ai Ziyi, so she also took a leave.

People like Lady Qian and Lady Yu, who were dependent on Concubine Chen, did not dare to provoke the Queen under such circumstances. The Queen could not punish Concubine Chen, but she could punish them. Under such circumstances, they all stayed in their seats obediently, pretending that they did not exist.

The queen seemed to be even more tired. Not long after paying her respects, she sent all the concubines back to their respective palaces to rest and exempted them from paying their respects for the next three days.

Liu Zhirou's heart moved, and her ability to speak without being asked quietly took effect. Liangpin, who was walking in front of her, suddenly stopped as if she remembered something.

"Sister Chunpin, what a coincidence. If you have nothing to do, why don't you come to my palace and sit for a while." Liangpin turned her head and enthusiastically took Liu Zhirou's hand.

"Then I'll bother you, sister." Liu Zhirou agreed calmly.

She also had a certain understanding in her mind. It seemed that the Queen's lineage had set its sights on her. The ability to speak without being asked was indeed very powerful, but it was not powerful enough to go against a person's mind and make her say things she had never thought of before.

Since Liangpin came to chat with her and win her over, it was largely out of her own considerations. What she said without asking was just an introduction, or a catalyst.

This effect can make a person's rather calm mind become active, causing a person to unconsciously speed up the process of his or her actions and speak out conspiracy considerations that should not be spoken out.

"Don't disturb me, don't disturb me. We are all sisters. Alas, my sister should be about the same age as you. It's a pity that I am in the palace and she is outside the palace. I can't even see her once." As Liangpin spoke, she actually sighed.

"Can't the Queen arrange for the concubines' families to enter the palace?" Liu Zhirou asked in confusion.

"The Empress is now busy with the affairs of the eldest princess. How can I have the face to disturb the Empress? Just be patient for now." Concubine Liang sighed.

Although Liu Zhirou knew that the reason why Liangpin said all this to her was largely because she wanted to get closer to them and gain her favor and trust, she couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.

The women in the palace appear glamorous and beautiful on the surface, but how many people can truly understand the hardships and sufferings they endure?

If one has a reliable and sensible family, it would be better. But if the men in her family have no ability and she has to rely on the women in the harem to gain the emperor's favor and protect the family, then the pressure on them will be too great.

Liu Zhirou smiled sympathetically and deliberately stopped bringing up such a topic so as not to stir up Liangpin's sad memories.

After walking for a while, they arrived at Liangpin's palace.

Liangpin ordered people to present fruits, tea and cakes. The two of them chatted some small things first to bring the atmosphere closer, and then talked about the most crucial point.

"Concubine Chen is a domineering person. If she gives birth to a prince first this time, we will really have to live under her shadow." Liangpin suddenly mentioned Concubine Chen again and sighed deeply.

Her intention to recruit was already very obvious, but Liu Zhirou still pretended not to understand.

"What can we do? Everything is determined by fate and has no control over us. Sister, as long as we abide by the palace rules and behave ourselves, we won't be affected much." Liu Zhirou looked worried and weak, which made Liangpin curl her lips.

Liangpin originally thought that this Chunpin, who was favored by the emperor, was a scheming and powerful person, and her current honesty was mostly a disguise.

But now it seems that this person really has no skill points in palace fighting. He can't even hear the most obvious one, and he still wants to fool people by laughing it off.

If they were concubines who had not received any imperial favor and had only risen to the throne by virtue of their seniority, it would be fine. No matter who they went to, they would not be able to exert any significant influence.

But this Concubine Chun was obviously not like that. She had been promoted to the position of the head of a palace within just one year of entering the palace. Even if there was an element of luck involved, it was something that could not be underestimated.

Is the ability of women in the harem important? It is indeed very important, but there is something more important, that is the emperor's favor.

Even if Concubine Chun doesn't have the brains for palace fighting, doesn't have a strong character, and is even timid and cowardly, as long as the emperor cares about her and is willing to listen to her, she is a hundred times more important than those women who think they have outstanding family backgrounds and abilities.

The Queen was determined to win over Concubine Chun. Only by winning over Concubine Chun could she be sure of defeating Concubine Chen, who already had a child and was favored by her.
