Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Hepin curled her lips slightly, but shook her head gently, "That may not be true. This Shu Changzai..."

He really looks like a brainless person.

But she tried to probe Shu Changzai several times, but she didn't fall for it once. Was it because she didn't understand, or was it because she just entered the palace and was just establishing her character...

Lets see.

"Tell someone to send some return gifts to Shu Changzai, so as to prevent word from getting out and letting people around me say that I am unruly."

Hepin whispered again: "After all, she is a beauty. I'm afraid she has some future."

Her personal maid understood what she said, "I understand."

Her master's favor is becoming less and less, and now she is optimistic about Shu Changzai's future and wants to win her over. Even if she fails, she wants to show her goodwill in advance.

Thinking about getting a piece of the pie from Shu Changzai in the future.

So this return gift should not be taken lightly.

Not long after, Shu Jiao received a gift personally delivered by her.

Cloth, jewelry, spices...

Everything is there.

Shu Jiao instantly understood what Hepin meant, and pretended to be surprised and declined, "How can I accept such a big gift from Hepin sister? This is really..."

"My queen really loves you. Since you just came to the palace and don't have many things with you, I want to try my best to fill the gap for you..."

Hepin's personal maid naturally spoke well of Hepin.

After some polite exchanges, she took her people away.

After the others left, Shu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, but smiled and said, "Yingchun, Sister Hepin treats me so well. She is gentle and generous. We can interact with Sister Hepin more in the future."

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the palace maid tending to the flowers and plants at the door.

Yingchun looked at her and understood instantly. She took over the topic and said in a low voice, "Yes, Concubine He is really kind. If the master can get Concubine He's protection, he will definitely be much safer in this palace."

Hepin lived in Yong'an Palace for many years.

Except for the newly assigned palace maids, I'm afraid everyone in this palace is Hepin's spies.

Shu Jiao must act like she is following his lead, or at least be friendly, in order to reassure Hepin.

otherwise……

If this olive branch is not accepted, Hepin will probably resort to unconventional means and make Shujiao the concubine who is moved away "due to illness".

Not just Hepin.

Soon, all the high-ranking concubines in the palace presented rewards one by one.

It’s just that the things they sent were given according to the level of status, and there was no sign of any preference or attitude.

Shu Jiao made a small fortune.

Her expectation was correct.

At night, what she said to Yingchun was heard by Hepin.

However, Hepin was extremely cautious and still did not truly trust Shu Jiao. It was only because of the "friendliness" she showed that she decided to hold off for the time being.

Stay in the palace for three days.

Shu Jiao has not yet paid her respects to the Queen, so it is not convenient for her to go out for a walk for the time being and she can only stay in Yong'an Palace.

Looking at the flowers and grass, I started counting the bricks out of boredom.

But before she could finish counting, she was called over by Concubine He to play chess and chat with her.

Shu Jiao gradually revealed her "simple and lively" and "slightly spoiled" side to Concubine He.

Although Hepin was sometimes very angry because she didn't understand what she said, she didn't have that much malice towards a beautiful woman like a vase.

On the fourth day, the newlyweds were all settled and went to Fengyi Palace to meet the queen.

The queen is a very kind person.

At least that's what it seems.

She sat high above, wearing a phoenix crown inlaid with gold and kingfisher feathers, and a phoenix hairpin with oriental pearls and tassels. Her slightly wrinkled oval face had a seemingly unchanging smile, and the curve of her lips seemed to have been carefully designed.

But the majesty he exudes from being in power for so many years makes people dare not offend him easily.

The four concubines had already arrived, and it was obvious that they had no intention of challenging the queen's authority.

"Your Majesty, the Queen~"

The newlyweds who had just entered the palace stood in the hall and saluted in unison.

Emperor Xingzheng selected a total of eight beautiful girls to enter the palace this time.

Except for Shun Guiren, who held the highest rank and entered the palace due to the help of her father and brother and certain political factors, the rest were from humble family backgrounds and entered the palace because of their looks.

"Get up."

The queen raised her hand and said, "Since you have entered the palace, you are all sisters. You are young, so it doesn't matter if you like to play around a little. But you must remember not to break the rules of the palace..."

It doesn't matter how you want to win favor or what means you use.

Just don’t dance in front of me, it’s up to you.

"Oh, I am really getting old. These new sisters have beautiful eyes and slim waists. We can't compare to them."

The virtuous concubine sitting in the lower left seat chuckled.

This one has great lethality.

"Her eyes are as beautiful as waves, and her waist is as graceful as a willow" is from Wen Tingyun's "Nan Ge Zi". The first two sentences are indeed compliments, but the latter ones are not so good.

"The flowers secretly beckon me, I miss you so much that my heart breaks, I hate the spring night."

What does that mean?

It means recalling the affectionate past trysts among flowers, and hating the loneliness and sadness of this spring night.

A quiet meeting in the flower room!

Is this a word used to describe a serious person?

This clearly refers to the girls in taverns and brothels.

When the virtuous concubine uttered these two lines of poetry, it was clear that she was comparing the new concubines to prostitutes in a brothel, belittling them into servants.

If no one exposes it, everyone will suffer the humiliation.

If someone reveals...

So what if it was exposed?

It was just a wrong word. Everyone knows that Concubine Xian is a descendant of a military commander and is notoriously illiterate. Could she be punished for the sake of this group of newcomers by becoming a concubine with a son?

Don't make trouble.

Shu Jiao was just thinking about it when she heard the noble lady Shun in front of her say, "Thank you for the compliment, Her Majesty. I am just a humble woman, how can I compare to Her Majesty's fairy-like appearance."

Hearing her words, Concubine Xian laughed so hard that the hairpin on her head swayed slightly.

The queen on the throne remained calm, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

Shu Jiao: ...

Shu Jiao lowered her head and rolled her eyes silently.

No wonder Concubine Shun fell out of favor after entering the palace. Emperor Xingzheng liked talented women, but with Concubine Shun's brain, it was estimated that she and Emperor Xingzheng would not be able to get along.

What did she say?

As soon as these words were spoken, the newcomer's style dropped instantly.

Xianfei, right?

Shu Jiao looked at the other person calmly and wrote it down silently in her little notebook.

Apart from this incident, to be honest, there was no trouble at all at this meeting of newcomers to the palace fighting.

Shu Jiao had expected that they would be deliberately embarrassed, and they would be punished by being forced to squat or kneel... None of that happened!

None!

She even made plans A, B, and C, but none of them worked.

Shu Jiao sighed after leaving Fengyi Palace. If she had known this, she wouldn’t have thought so much about it last night.

But she soon understood why those high-ranking concubines did not take action.

Because these newcomers were too low-ranking to make any splash. And soon after the emperor entered the harem, there was bound to be a wave of competition among the newcomers.

Wait till the time comes and see who wins.

Who is truly qualified to face them?

Before this, they didn't take the group of little Karami who had just entered the palace seriously.
