I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Liu Zhirou covered her face with a veil and looked at the Buddha statue twice in a very subtle way.

This Buddha statue looks kind, but if you look closely from a close distance, it actually reveals a bit of weirdness.

When looking at the Buddha statue from the side, one could only see a golden glow. But when she actually walked to the front, Liu Zhirou unexpectedly discovered that the main body of the Buddha statue was actually slightly black.

This is something that is basically impossible to happen in the palace. Once it happens, it means that the official in charge of this matter will lose his head.

Even the Buddha statue that the Empress Dowager wants to worship is not taken care of seriously. Wouldn't people in other less important positions be even more lazy?

Even if it was to make an example of someone, the emperor would never allow such a thing to happen.

But now, it seems that no one noticed this. The eunuchs in charge of these things did not panic, and the concubines did not whisper. Everyone ignored this point and just went forward quietly, burning incense and kneeling one by one.

Liu Zhirou quickly thought about what she should do. Should she avoid them or kneel down with the crowd?

If this Buddha statue could really kill people, then there would probably be few people left in the palace. Since it didn't kill people directly, there was a chance to save everything. It would be better to take the risk and see what was wrong with the Buddha statue.

Anyway, she has an advantage that no one else has, that is the energy bar. Even if the Buddha statue really causes some damage to her, she can use the energy bar to make up for it.

Liu Zhirou has already figured out the operating mechanism of the energy bar. Compared to a gashapon toy, it is more like a wishing machine. Every time the energy bar is full, she can draw a skill or item, or use this opportunity to strengthen the skills or items she already has.

Then the energy bar is likely to have the function of removing the curse that it has planted.

But these are just contingencies.

Liu Zhirou could also choose not to take the risk and just develop quietly. As long as she developed long enough, one day she would be able to understand all the mysteries of this world.

After all, she is different from ordinary people. She has cheats and knowledge beyond this era. With these help, she has no need to rush.

But some things, once missed, are missed forever. Liu Zhirou made up her mind and bowed silently with Ai Ziyi.

At the moment she actually bowed down, Liu Zhirou felt a chill rushing to the top of her head, and there seemed to be an extremely cold gaze, illuminating the inside of her body clearly like an X-ray machine.

She couldn't help but shudder.

This feeling was really terrible, but when Liu Zhirou glanced at Ai Ziyi's condition, she was surprised to find that she had a happy and satisfied smile on her face.

"I just seemed to feel a warm current flowing through my body. All my limbs and bones felt comfortable. Is this the blessing of Buddha?" Ai Ziyi couldn't help but said excitedly as the two people had just stepped back.

Liu Zhirou remained silent. What she felt was almost completely opposite to what Ai Ziyi felt.

But compared to the beautiful vision described by Ai Ziyi, she would rather believe what she feels.

This is not blind self-confidence, but a reasonable inference based on the problems that have arisen in reality. Strange things have happened in this palace more than once, but several of them happened right under her nose, and some of them even happened because of her.

"Arou, why are you silent?" Ai Ziyi also noticed that the girl next to her was absent-minded. She excitedly grabbed Liu Zhirou's arm and shook it vigorously, signaling her to shift her attention to herself.

Liu Zhirou suddenly woke up as if from a dream.

"Sorry, I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I don't have much energy today." Liu Zhirou smiled apologetically. She had no intention of telling others what she felt. The possibility that others would believe her was really small. Even if they did, it would be of no use. Moreover, they would more likely use it to attack Liu Zhirou.

Everyone feels good after worshipping Buddha, why is it that you feel bad? Is it because you have evil intentions and are disrespectful to Buddha that you are suffering this retribution?

Liu Zhirou didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

What's more, although it was cold and gloomy, when Liu Zhirou moved away from the Buddha statue for a distance, the cold feeling slowly dissipated.

At least according to Liu Zhirou's ability to control her body, she did not feel any strange energy remaining in her body that would have a lasting impact on her.

In this case, it didn't seem to be a problem. Although such strange things were extremely rare, they were in the palace after all. As long as the people above were interested, the people below would be able to find a few anyway.

Perhaps it is because of this that the Buddha statue looks bright and beautiful from the side, but a little dark from the front. Everyone is used to it, but she herself is not used to it.

Liu Zhirou really wanted to deceive herself by pretending to be deceiving, but she couldn't do it in the end.

"Do you think the construction of this Buddha statue is a little unworthy?" Liu Zhirou asked calmly, "After all, it is in the palace and is used by the Queen Mother when she worships Buddha. We can't just mess around with it."

"Is it? I think it's very good, with a solemn appearance and shining golden light. It's so beautiful. But if it were bigger, it might be more magnificent, but it would be inconvenient to move if it were bigger." Ai Ziyi thought about it seriously and finally gave this answer.

Liu Zhirou's heart sank.

"Don't you think that the color of this Buddha statue may be a little dull?" Liu Zhirou asked with her last hope.

They both entered the palace at the same time, so there is naturally no question of who is more experienced and who is inexperienced. What they saw and the feelings they had should be similar.

"No, is it still bleak? I think it's good." The other party's answer made her extremely disappointed.

She rubbed her brows with a headache.

Except for a very small number of Baolins who were brought by high-ranking concubines, the rest who came to participate in this performance were basically beauties of the lowest status. Everyone quickly lined up in order, worshipped the Buddha, and then took their seats.

At this time, the Queen Mother also arrived.

The Empress Dowager was dressed quite simply, not looking like the most noble woman in the entire dynasty at all. She looked like an ordinary noble lady.

She was not wearing a phoenix crown. Instead, she wore a moon-white inner lining, a dark blue jacket on the outside, and a moon-colored straight-collared brocade robe. On her left wrist, she wore a jade bracelet with a very fine texture, and on her ears hung a string of pearl earrings.

Everyone quickly stood up and greeted.

The Queen Mother was very kind and amiable. She smiled and asked them to lie down. She then ordered the nanny beside her to prepare gifts for everyone.

The concubines were all smiling. After all, it was much better to have a mother-in-law who didn't interfere and was easy to talk to than to have one who asked people to set rules every day.
