I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Biyun herself was uneasy about this matter. After all, she didn't know whether her appearance could impress the emperor, nor did she know whether Liu Zhirou was willing to help her or was simply deceiving her to get Lu Jin's help.

But judging from the emperor's words, this matter went quite smoothly.

The emperor did not just say that casually. Not long after he left, a eunuch came to announce the decree, appointing Biyun as a concubine.

"Then let me congratulate you in advance. If you are successful in the future, you have to help these old sisters." Tan Xiang joked with a smile. Chun Tao pouted, but still congratulated her awkwardly.

Biyun took out a few silver melon seeds that she had saved, thanked these good sisters for their congratulations, and immediately went back to find Liu Zhirou.

This matter was accomplished, but not completely. If she wanted things to develop better and more smoothly, she still had to hold on to Liu Zhirou's thighs.

"Empress, what should I do next?" Biyun saw Liu Zhirou half lying on the chaise longue beside her, so she hurried over, sat on the footstool and asked in a low voice.

"After receiving the emperor's favor, just think of an idea and leave Changchun Palace." Liu Zhirou replied lazily.

She really couldn't muster up any energy at the moment, but she had thought about this matter many times before, so she gave the answer casually.

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of being ungrateful..." Biyun looked extremely terrified.

No matter what you think in your heart, at least you have to maintain this attitude on the surface, so as not to make Liu Zhirou feel unbalanced.

"I know, but it's not good for you or me if you continue to live in Changchun Palace." Liu Zhirou interrupted her before she could finish.

"How you do and how well you do the work of clearing up the injustice has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to get involved in such troublesome matters. I help you because we grew up together, but it doesn't mean I have to continue to follow up." Liu Zhirou said boredly.

"And after I leave, there will be no main seat in Changchun Palace, and the possibility of the emperor remembering this place is very slim. I will talk to the other two concubines living here about this matter later, and let them use their connections, or I will use my connections to transfer them out." Liu Zhirou later realized that she had been a little inconsiderate about this matter.

The Queen was reluctant to arrange for her to share the favor with the lower-ranking concubines at that time. Perhaps it was not because she had simply forgotten, but because she had long understood that she would soon be sent to the Queen Mother to fulfill her filial duty.

But Liu Zhirou was not a god after all, and could not predict the future. In the case of information asymmetry, she certainly could not come up with the correct answer no matter how hard she thought.

"Unless you are not in a hurry and are willing to wait for me to come back from Renshou Palace, if you want to achieve something, then find a way to leave immediately." Liu Zhirou finally concluded coldly.

"Your Majesty, which palace should I go to?" Biyun stopped talking about those sensational things and asked directly.

She really couldn't wait. If she could, she wouldn't have to let Lu Jin use such a risky way to contact Liu Zhirou.

Liu Zhirou chose to help them this time, but she is also likely to report them. By then, they will be in great danger and may even die.

This kind of behavior was like gambling their lives. Fortunately, they won the bet. Liu Zhirou agreed to help them, not knowing whether it was out of consideration for their youth or for practical interests, and did not make any excessive demands.

The result gained from gambling one's life cannot be wasted so easily. Both Lu Jin and Biyun are very clear about this, not to mention that what Liu Zhirou said makes a lot of sense.

"Well, I don't recommend you go to Weiyang Palace, even though we've lived there for a while and have some acquaintances there. Lady Lan is pregnant, and if something goes wrong, you're shallow and have no foundation in the palace, so you'll probably be used as a scapegoat by others."

Liu Zhirou thought about it and first rejected the idea of ​​Concubine Xian’s palace. She didn’t know what Concubine Xian was planning, but from her actions, she could tell that it was a big deal.

Nothing good will happen to Biyun if she goes there. She will either be killed along with Concubine Xian, or be killed along with Concubine Xian by the Emperor.

Although Liu Zhirou did not actually spend her teenage years with this girl, she still had some feelings for her and did not want to watch her go to her death.

"It's the same with Concubine Chen. Without long-term adjustment, you won't be able to gain her trust, let alone her favor. If you are so impatient, it won't be long before she thinks you are someone else's spy, and then she will set up a lot of obstacles for you."

"As for Concubine De... Concubine De is relatively quiet, but she doesn't like to compete for favors. She even lies down most of the time. In this situation, it's difficult for you to stand out."

After denying the existence of several concubines, Liu Zhirou finally proposed a candidate who seemed to be a good candidate for her: "You can try the Queen Mother. After all, the Queen Mother is the principal wife, and she also has enemies that she must defeat. In this case, she should be eager to seek talents."

"But I heard that the Queen has a lot of low-ranking concubines in her palace, and I'm afraid I can't compete with them..." Biyun still had some doubts.

"Joining the Empress' side doesn't mean you have to live in Changning Palace. In fact, some women in the position of concubines have already joined the Empress' side, such as Concubine Liang." Liu Zhirou said a little mysteriously.

Biyun did not agree directly, but said that she would go back and continue to think about it.

Liu Zhirou was not angry either. She knew that this matter was not something that Biyun could decide alone. The ones who could really make the decision were Lu Jin, who served the emperor, and the bigger boss who might exist behind them.

Compared to the young and immature Biyun, Lv Jin, the old fox, is the one that people are really afraid of. He has been serving the emperor for many years and knows a lot about the emperor's temperament, so he will not let Biyun make those low-level mistakes.

With him around, Biyun could avoid many detours. But considering their difficult and almost impossible goal, this little chance seemed to be useless.

Is it possible for the Emperor to fall in love with a concubine?

Of course it is possible.

But is it possible for an emperor to love a concubine so much that he loses himself in love and even overturns his previous choices?

It's really unlikely.

Liu Zhirou waved her hand, signaling Biyun to leave.

Biyun saluted respectfully, but this time it was no longer a servant saluting her master, but rather a courtesy between concubines.
