"Your Highness, Queen, please give us your greetings!"
It was not until the sweet and melodious female voice like a spring water entered their ears that everyone came back to their senses.
Xianfei Yan Muwan spoke first, "No wonder the emperor gave Concubine Yan the title of 'Yan'. Concubine Yan is really pretty. If someone who doesn't know Concubine Yan's identity sees her, they might think she's from some building..." As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly covered her face and coughed, "Ahem, my sister is so pretty, no wonder the emperor has been thinking about her for so long."
Yan Muxi raised his eyes and looked at Yan Muwan.
Meeting her gaze, Yan Muwan hurriedly said, "Princess Yan, please stand up quickly. We are all sisters. There is no need to be so polite." After that, she glanced at Concubine Xian beside her and said, "This is Concubine Xian of Yuhua Palace."
Yan Muxi turned her gaze towards Concubine Xian and responded calmly, "Thank you, Concubine Xian, for your compliment just now."
Xian Fei was the leader of the four concubines. She was immediately furious when a new concubine called her "sister". "How dare you, Concubine Yan, call me sister?"
Yan Muxi pretended to be confused, "I am older than the Concubine Xian, shouldn't I call her sister?"
"I entered the palace earlier than you and my position is higher than yours. How could I be your sister?" The virtuous concubine argued angrily.
"Oh~, they are not arranged by age!" Yan Muxi muttered in a voice that everyone could hear clearly, and there was no further comment.
The virtuous concubine was furious and was about to take the opportunity to punish her when she heard Yan Muxi say, "I have been riding in carriages and sedan chairs all the way and am indeed a little tired. I will go back to the palace to rest first and come to visit the Empress another day." After saying that, she bowed and turned to walk out of the palace.
"Stop!" the virtuous concubine shouted.
Yan Muxi turned around and said, "Xian Fei called me to stop, is there anything else?"
"Princess Yan, you have disregarded the palace rules and committed insubordination. The Empress is magnanimous and has not made a fuss about it, but I cannot tolerate any sand in my eyes. Today, I will teach you the rules of the palace on behalf of the Empress." Concubine Xian raised her chin with an arrogant attitude.
Yan Muxi turned around and asked with interest, "Is it a violation of the rules? Ignoring the palace rules? Concubine Xian, can you tell me specifically, which one did I violate? Which palace rules did I ignore?"
"I am above you. You spoke disrespectfully to me. This is a violation of the rules. You should be severely punished."
Xianfei thought she was right, but Yan Muxi said nonchalantly: "Xianfei's words seem to make some sense. However, it is still unknown whether I have disregarded the palace rules. Xianfei, you have committed crimes and disregarded the palace rules. This is a fact."
"Stop talking nonsense. When did I commit the crime of disobeying my superiors and ignoring palace rules?" Concubine Xian was so angry that her face turned red, and her sleeves were tightly pulled by her personal nanny.
The master has an impatient temper, and the nanny is afraid that the master will cause a big disaster. Concubine Yan has just entered the palace, and she doesn't know the emperor's attitude towards her yet. She just needs to test her a little and can't offend her too much.
Compared to Concubine Xian's hysteria, Yan Muxi's calm demeanor seemed excessive. She said slowly, "First, I was appointed Concubine Yan by the Emperor himself, and it is not certain who is higher than you, Concubine Xian. Second, the Empress is still alive, and Concubine Xian has taken over the authority to sentence concubines and yelled in front of the Empress. This is a violation of the rules of the palace. Therefore, I think that you, Concubine Xian, should be punished."
The four concubines in the Dafeng harem were ranked according to virtuous, good, virtuous, and moral. At first, there was no obvious distinction between the four concubines, but after a dispute, there was a subtle distinction with the virtuous concubine at the top.
Successive emperors would personally draft titles for concubines who were particularly favored, but in the past hundred years of the Dafeng harem, there were very few concubines whose titles were personally drafted by the emperor.
The concubines who had their titles personally drafted by the emperor must have been extremely favored. As they were both concubines, virtuous and kind women, even if they thought their positions were higher, would not dare to compete with the emperor's favored concubines. Therefore, whether the positions of the four concubines were higher than those of the concubines whose titles were personally drafted by the emperor has always been unclear.
The virtuous concubine was the first person who so carelessly claimed that her status was higher than that of the favored concubine since the founding of Dafeng.
Being blamed in return, Concubine Xian could no longer suppress her anger. She broke free from the nanny and rushed to Yan Muxi and his servant, raising her hand to hit Yan Muxi in the face.
Yu Shui stepped forward to block Yan Muxi, and with a crisp "slap" sound, he was slapped hard by Concubine Xian.
Seeing that only the maidservant was hit, Concubine Xian wanted to slap her again, but Yan Muwan stopped her with a loud voice, "Come here, Concubine Xian ignored the palace rules and beat the concubines, arrest her for me."
The virtuous concubine turned back angrily and shouted arrogantly: "Yan, you are just a lowly concubine's daughter, what right do you have to discipline me?"
As they were talking, the eunuchs and maids who had received the order had already walked to the side of Concubine Xian, and the leading maid said, "My Lady Concubine Xian, I'm sorry!"
Before she finished her words, Concubine Xian raised her leg first and kicked the nanny in the abdomen, knocking her to the ground.
Concubine Xian is the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Zhennan. Her father is the general who now guards the southern border. Because she is the eldest granddaughter in the family, she has been loved and spoiled by her elders since she was a child. Not only is her personality spoiled and willful, but her boxing skills are also quite good.
The head nanny of Changchun Palace was kicked directly in the abdomen. She curled up like a shrimp in pain, her face pale for a long time before she groaned.
Seeing the head nanny being beaten, Yan Muwan was really angry and shouted, "I am the queen of a country. You, Concubine Xian, are disobedient and committing treason. Are you trying to replace me and take the throne of queen?"
She had endured the criticism in the past, but today, Concubine Xian had ridden on her and shit on her. If she couldn't establish her authority and punish Concubine Xian, who would still accept her as the master of the palace?
So what if I take your place as the queen? Concubine Xian only thought about this in her mind and did not dare to speak it out loud.
If Yan Muwan was the real daughter of the Prime Minister, she would be willing to be inferior to him. But Yan Muwan was just a lowly concubine's daughter in the guise of a legitimate daughter. Why did she get the title of empress over the legitimate daughter of the marquis's mansion?
The virtuous concubine's maid whispered a few words in her ear. The virtuous concubine realized that her behavior today had gone too far. She looked at Yan Muxi unwillingly, then knelt down and perfunctorily saluted in the direction of Yan Muwan above her.
"I was angry for a moment and made Her Majesty the Queen unhappy. I hope Her Majesty the Queen will be magnanimous and not hold it against me." After saying this, she stood up straight without waiting for anyone to call her. "I still have things to deal with in the palace, so I won't disturb Her Majesty the Queen and my sisters. I'll leave first."
Yan Muwan's emotions calmed down a little at this moment. Her heart was beating wildly. In her sixteen years of life, she had never had an argument with anyone. She was so angry just now that she wanted to punish Concubine Xian, but now that she saw the other party bowing her head and surrendering, she was undecided and didn't know whether she should pursue the matter further.
Among the women in the harem, the emperor usually favors the arrogant and willful Concubine Xian the most. She is afraid that she might offend Concubine Xian and make the emperor displeased, and even lose her dignity as the queen.
