The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Wang Xuanshi missed the days when she was still a daughter of an official family. Although her father was not prominent among the Wang family's children and was not assigned an official position, it was precisely because of this that her family escaped disaster and had to give back the wealthy life they had gained from her uncle who was an official.

Although she was still young at that time, it did not prevent her from still missing the rich and comfortable days. It also did not prevent her from following the trend of her family and putting all the blame for her family's decline to commoner status on the Dongxiang Palace.

After Princess Togo passed away, this hatred was naturally passed on to the Queen.

Even though they had never met, never communicated, and never felt any betrayed "family affection" for each other.

Wang Xuanshi was born pretty and charming. Because her father had not been convicted and she was still of good status, she could participate in the selection. So when the news came that the palace was preparing for the general election, the king's father and others gathered the power of the whole family, gave a large sum of money to the flower and bird envoy who was selecting beauties from the people of the capital, and successfully reported Wang Xuanshi.

And Wang Xuanshi did not disappoint the expectations of her whole family and was selected into the palace as she wished.

In her opinion, her family was once the ants that were trampled under the feet of the Dongxiang Palace and herself, the princess. Now, she, a humble ant, can share her husband with the queen. How can the queen not be wary of her and not feel disgusted with her?

It would be best if I could annoy her! And as long as I am favored, I can completely reverse all the right and wrong that my family has suffered in the past!

The ambitious Wang Xuanshi entered the palace, and then suffered a disastrous defeat.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with her and was sure that the Queen was just being wary and making things difficult for her.

When Concubine Wang was assigned to the palace of Concubine Deng, who was still very gentle and generous at that time, she would think that since Concubine Deng was so non-competitive and had princes and princesses, she would naturally not help the concubines under her to gain favor. The Queen was deliberately preventing herself from gaining favor!

The Queen was unwilling to ask the concubines to pay their respects to her in the Kunning Palace every morning and evening, which was directly interpreted by Wang Xianshi as that she had successfully annoyed the Queen. In this case, she should pay her respects to the Kunning Palace every day. After all, they were "sisters". Since she saw that she was uncomfortable, she would make her uncomfortable.

When Concubine Wang became pregnant and then had a miscarriage, she directly blamed the queen for the culprit. She blamed the queen for not managing the harem well and for having such an old grudge with her family, which caused her to lose her status as an official's daughter and become bullied by everyone. She also blamed the queen for investigating so much and only finding the truth about a nanny. Concubine Zhu (formerly Concubine Zhu) was a major suspect and even kicked someone to death in public, but she was only demoted and imprisoned?

Especially after being demoted, Concubine Zhu still held the same rank as herself, which made Concubine Wang even more angry. She lay on the hospital bed facing the air and almost suffered a hemorrhage due to anger.

The Queen was completely unaware of her "battle of wits and courage" with the air. She only felt that Concubine Wang seemed to still be brooding over the old grudge between her family and her mother's family, so she didn't want to get too close to her. However, she never showed any special attention to her and treated her only as an ordinary concubine. When checking the accounts of the various palaces, she would check to see if her share was paid in full and whether she had been deceived by the palace people.

The Queen did not think much about it when she learned from Xie Yuzhen that Lady Wang seemed to harbor a deep hatred for her. She had seen a lot of hatred directed at her, both for reasons and without reasons, not only in the palace but also in the backyards of various royal families. If Lady Wang did not want to harm her, then she would just treat her normally; if she wanted to kill her, then the Queen was not the kind of saint who could forgive her completely.

The hatred that Wang Xuanshi felt was not important; what was important was who took advantage of her hatred.

The Queen had quickly identified the person hiding behind the concubine through interrogation of Wang Yue and some investigation into the previous dynasty - Marquis Yuyang.

Wen Baolin and Shen Huiwan's biological father.

The adopted uncle of the deceased commoner Shen Nanliu.

After finding out the truth, the Queen no longer hesitated. Wen Baolin was devastated by the Shen Nanliu incident and is still recovering from his illness. He has never contacted Wang Yue. But just in case, the Queen found an excuse to search for lost items to temporarily detain everyone in Baosi Pavilion before the uprising.

then.

She found Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning's eyes were still very clear. Although she was wearing plain clothes, she was also dressed carefully according to the habits of the princess of the princess's mansion. She held a white fox tail in her hand and shook it gently: "Why did your majesty think of looking for me today?"

Walking up to the Queen, Concubine Ning took her hands and shook them coquettishly: "Now that the palace affairs are handed over to the two concubines, your Majesty should have a good rest."

The queen pulled her into the inner room and left only Yunrong to guard the door.

Concubine Ning was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, do you have anything private to say to me?"

Looking into her eyes, the queen was silent for a moment, and then she said without hesitation: "If I say that I want to leave the palace, I want to ask you..."

"I know that the Queen is good to me and will never forget me no matter what good things happen!" Concubine Ning suddenly jumped up in joy, "How are we going to leave? Is the Majesty going to die, or is he going to run away quietly, just like what is written in the storybook, elope!"

As she spoke, she became worried again: "What about Zai Guang? That child won't say a word even if I hit her with three sticks. Why not steal her away too?"

The third princess Lu Zaiguang's temperament is completely different from that of her lively and playful adoptive mother. She is quiet and well-behaved.

"I have already made an agreement with Concubine Zhao. If you leave with me, I will entrust Zai Guang to her." The Queen's gentle explanation made Concubine Ning feel relieved.

Immediately, she had a new doubt: "Isn't Concubine Zhao leaving?"

"She...she has more important things to do. She has to stay here."

The Queen's heart suddenly ached, and she couldn't help but confirm with Concubine Ning again: "After we leave, there will no longer be Concubine Ning Lu and Queen Wang. We will become dead people in everyone's eyes, and you will no longer be able to continue to live the comfortable and affluent life you have now..."

"I do." Concubine Ning suddenly raised her head and looked into the Queen's eyes. "Except for Zai Guang, there is nothing else I should be attached to here."

"I'm not really worried about Zai Guang. He looks quiet, but he's actually very opinionated since he was little. He's stronger and smarter than me, so... I think..." She choked up and said, "It's really... really great that you're willing to take me away!"

In a trance.

The queen couldn't even tell whether the person in front of her was awake or unconscious.

She handed the Turtle Breathing Pill to Concubine Ning and explained her arrangements in detail. Concubine Ning wiped away her tears and became the "little princess" again, as lively and cheerful as a well-educated little bird, proud but not overbearing, immersed in the false and beautiful memories that were pieced together.
