The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Every word is heartbreaking and every sentence is cruel.

Meng Ronghua felt that his whole body and mind were pierced by this hateful woman. He got so angry that he said without thinking, "Don't think you can become noble just because you have a prince. The same goes for Concubine Xie, and you..."

"Hey~" Xu Baolin interrupted her with a sneer, "Hasn't Meng Ronghua heard that a mother is honored by her son?"

"No way, Meng Ronghua doesn't think that he is more noble than the prince, or the prince's mother?"

"No way, no way, is this the upbringing of the Meng family, a century-old family?"

"Oh my god, does the Meng family claim to be more noble than the royal family? Otherwise, how could they raise someone like you?"

Meng Ronghua was so angry at her rapid-fire words that she nearly fainted. However, no matter how angry she was, she could not say the stupid words that the Meng family was more noble than the royal family, or that she was more noble than the prince or the prince's mother.

"......You!" Meng Ronghua's chest rose and fell rapidly, and his face had long been red with anger. "You guys! Wait......just wait!"

What’s the point of having a dragon fetus!

The baby hasn't even been born yet, and we don't even know if it's a boy or a girl, and you're already so arrogant!

Meng Ronghua's breath was stuck in her throat. Even if she had a thousand words to curse the woman in front of her, she couldn't utter them at this moment.

"Waiting?" Xu Baolin finally got the chance to say the most crucial words, "Waiting for what? Could it be that Meng is so all-powerful that she can turn the noble prince into a fake one?"

She sneered, pretended to be disdainful, raised her hand to gather the pearl flowers on her temples, and turned to leave.

Meng Ronghua, who was in a rage, did not react to the meaning of her words for a moment, but shouted at Xu Baolin: "It is Cai Xie who gave birth to the prince, what can you gain, haha... who would truly trust you, a treacherous and ungrateful villain? Just wait, now she is pregnant and wants to promote her to consolidate her favor, and when the prince is born, you will be of no use!"

The woman in gorgeous clothes turned her head slowly, and the expression on her face gradually became colder. She looked at Meng Ronghua with a cold and gloomy gaze, which made the latter's anger suddenly freeze and he involuntarily took a step back.

"Don't worry about that, Meng Ronghua. We are just using each other and being each other's stepping stones. Why do we need to be sincere?" She smiled and said, "Anyway, I am favored now, and I will continue to be favored in the future."

After saying this, she left with the palace maids.

Meng Ronghua stood on the long street, looking at Xu Baolin's departing back with an empty expression. Her personal maid Xinxia came up to her with some concern and supported her.

However, a somewhat crazy smile gradually emerged on Meng Ronghua's face. She turned to look at Ji Lan and Xin Xia and said, "It turns out that they are not united!"

"Haha, I knew it. How could a bitch like Xu who is so arrogant be willing to bow down to others?" Meng Ronghua's eyes kept flashing. She felt as if she understood something. "She came to me deliberately to say these things, just to instigate me to deal with Xie!"

"Oh! Such a low-end and crude method, you expect me not to see it?"

"Well, we are going to deal with Xie anyway, Madam." Meng Ronghua suddenly looked up, and Madam Ji Lan suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

Meng Ronghua asked, "Who was the scapegoat that Auntie had planned to use to frame Xie this time?"

Nanny Ji Lan vaguely guessed what her young mistress was thinking, but she had long been accustomed to serving whoever she was assigned to serve, and she would serve whoever she was assigned to serve loyally: "My lady, it is... Lady Zhang."

"Madam, Xu and I have a grudge, and she has ill intentions towards Concubine Xie... She wants to instigate me to deal with Concubine Xie, why don't we take advantage of her and let her suffer the consequences?" Meng Ronghua thought his idea was brilliant. "Besides, Concubine Xie seems to trust her quite a bit. It would be more reasonable to put the blame on Xu than on Concubine Zhang, who Concubine Xie is not close to, isn't it?"

"This..." Nanny Ji Lan hesitated, "Should we ask the Empress for permission before making any arrangements?"

Hearing her say this, Meng Ronghua immediately remembered her aunt's instructions not to interfere. Although she was very unhappy, she still endured it. Just as Nanny Ji Lan was used to obeying her master, she was also used to obeying elders and superiors.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to go to Beigong for me, Madam." Meng Ronghua didn't dare to complain to his aunt, but he dared to show his dissatisfaction to Madam Ji Lan.

Nanny Ji Lan noticed the displeasure in her expression, and her heart skipped a beat - although Huisu did not allow Meng Ronghua to interfere, she had already handed over some of the manpower to her. Nanny Ji Lan could not be sure whether Meng Ronghua asked her to go to Beigong to ask for advice just to send her to run errands or if he wanted to get her out of here to do something.

She was worried, but she couldn't disobey her master's orders...

"Yes, my lady, I'll be there right away." Nanny Ji Lan bowed hastily, thinking in her heart that she should go and come back quickly. It's only a short time, so nothing should go wrong...right?

Meng Ronghua really didn't want to get rid of her.

"Xinxia, ​​come with me to the needlework shop to see if they have any new designs recently." Meng Ronghua, who was holding back her anger, wanted a beautiful new dress. "If it were at home, they would take the initiative to come and tailor clothes for me. But now..."

Ronghua was a mere vassal with no power or favor. Although her daily allowance was never short of money, Meng Ronghua looked down on the allowance of Ronghua's position. She had to pay extra for her food, clothing and other expenses. Only by buying things that were of better material but not out of line could Meng Ronghua feel that this life was not so unbearable.

But it’s different from being able to call the shots at home, and it feels very frustrating.

Meng Ronghua had a gloomy face, and was planning to find some fun for herself before Beigong's reply came. However, before she had been out for long, a palace maid came out from the corner in a hurry and almost put Xinxia on her face.

The palace maid quickly knelt down and said, "Greetings to this lady. I am sorry for my rudeness. Please forgive me, lady."

Meng Ronghua, who had just been mad at Xu Baolin, said in a bad tone: "Where are you from? How come you don't know the rules?"

She looked at the palace maid and said, "You are not young anymore, why are you still so reckless?"

"My lady, I am Xue, a maidservant of Zhong Sibao in the Shanggong Bureau. I... I... Today is the day when my family came to visit me. I was in a hurry to see them, so I was impolite. Please forgive me, my lady."

The Shanggong Bureau was subordinate to the Shanggong Bureau, and the workshop where the emperor previously made jewelry for Xie Yuzhen and his daughter was under its jurisdiction.

The hesitant look of the palace maid named Xue caught Meng Ronghua's attention. He saw that her hands were trembling slightly, and something seemed to be exposed from her narrow sleeves - it seemed to be a piece of brocade?

This thing is not something a palace maid can use casually. Meng Ronghua suddenly became interested: "Oh, really? Why are you so nervous about meeting a family member... What do you have hidden in your sleeve?!"

As if frightened by her sudden shout, Xue Gongren's knees weakened and he fell to the ground, and the things in his sleeves fell out.
