Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

Chapter 423 Life in Yikun Palace is really difficult

Cao Qinmo's days in Yikun Palace became difficult.

Huapin's purpose of coming to Yikun Palace was not to embarrass her by making a small promise, but she could not let Cao Qinmo go either.

One day, Cao Qinmo came to Huapin's room to pay her respects as usual. Lan Xin stopped her again and said, "Cao Qinmo, our young master hasn't gotten up yet, you wait here."

Cao Qinmo replied softly, "Yes."

She stood quietly outside the door waiting. As time passed, her legs began to feel sore.

The sun is high in the sky and the dog days of summer are getting hot.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Cao Qinmo's forehead, and her clothes were soaked with sweat.

She thought to herself that Huapin was clearly trying to make things difficult for her, but she could do nothing about it.

I am a person of low status and my words carry little weight. The only way to escape this situation is to be favored.

Yinzhen's favor was her salvation.

She was thinking silently in her heart. Lan Xin came out, glanced at Cao Qinmo, and said, "Cao promised, you can go back. Our young master doesn't want to see you today."

Cao Qinmo suppressed the anger in her heart, turned around and left silently.

----------

Another day, Cao Qinmo was walking in the yard and happened to meet Huapin passing by with a group of palace maids.

When Concubine Hua saw Cao Qinmo, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Mr. Cao, are you used to living in the Yikun Palace?"

Cao Qinmo bowed quickly and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am living very well."

Huapin sneered, "Humph, you just made a small promise. It's your blessing to live here. Don't be ungrateful."

Cao Qinmo lowered her head and did not dare to refute.

Huapin continued, "You must follow the rules of the Yikun Palace in the future, and don't do anything that would make me unhappy." After that, Huapin left with the palace maids.

In this harem, power decides everything. Huapin has a high position, so she can only allow herself to be bullied.

Cao Qinmo gritted her teeth.

Or, did she surrender to Huapin?

Cao Qinmo tried several times, but Huapin didn't take her seriously.

Huapin had no intention of winning over Cao Qinmo. She looked down upon a young lady from a poor family whose appearance and talent were not outstanding.

Concubine Li and Concubine Fucha both have family backgrounds and can help her to some extent.

Noble Lady Li and Noble Lady Fucha sensed that Concubine Hua disliked Cao Qinmo, and they would make things difficult for her every time they came over.

For example, when Huapin came over on the first day, it was common for her to wait outside Huapin's door until dark.

The dog days of summer have passed, but Cao Qinmo still feels that the weather is unbearable.

The people in the harem have always flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak.

Cao Qinmo was disliked by the emperor's favorites, so naturally, these servants would not be very nice to her.

Everything sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was inferior, even the food was not enough.

------------

Yixiu watched coldly and did not offer a helping hand.

Cao Qinmo has not been pushed to that point yet.

After the dog days of summer, autumn comes.

Huapin was already five months pregnant at this time, and her belly was clearly visible.

She specifically asked the palace maid to alter her palace dress to make it tighter so that her belly would look more prominent.

Although it was not the emperor's first child, Yinzhen was still very happy to see him.

Huapin's ambition could no longer be hidden.

When she went to pay respects at Jingren Palace, Huapin boldly proposed an idea, "Empress, autumn is approaching, and my father has collected a bunch of precious chrysanthemums. I am bold enough to hold a chrysanthemum-viewing banquet."

Throughout the year, there are always so many flower-viewing banquets.

Yixiu was too lazy to do it, so when Huapin brought it up, Yixiu quickly agreed.

It just so happened that she wanted to see how Concubine Hua would treat Cao Qinmo.

Cao Qinmo is really unlucky. She hasn't offended anyone and has never been favored by the emperor, but she is still targeted by Concubine Hua.

Yixiu looked at Huapin's posture and thought that she was planning to use Cao Qinmo as an example to establish her authority!

--------------

The positions were arranged by Concubine Hua, and Cao Qinmo was indeed assigned the worst position.

Cao Qinmo had agreed in the first place, and sitting in the worst seat was not a big deal. However, Shang Yanhui also agreed, but still sat in a better seat.

When other concubines saw how Huapin treated Cao Qinmo, they followed suit and looked at Cao Qinmo with contempt.

Cao Qinmo's heart was filled with humiliation, but she could only force a smile.

She knew that if she showed her dissatisfaction at this time, it would only bring more trouble.

When the banquet was halfway through, Huapin suddenly asked Cao Qinmo to perform a talent show. Cao Qinmo panicked, because she knew that Huapin was deliberately trying to embarrass her.

But she couldn't refuse, so she had to agree.

Cao Qinmo thought for a moment and decided to play a song.

She slowly walked to the piano, sat down, took a deep breath, and began to play. However, due to nervousness, her playing was not smooth and she made several mistakes.

Seeing Cao Qinmo's performance, Concubine Hua smiled smugly. "Ms. Cao, as a concubine, it's ok that you are not good at playing the zither, but you are so timid and so unpresentable. What will you do when you meet the emperor in the future?"

The other concubines also echoed and mocked Cao Qinmo.

Cao Qinmo lowered her head, not feeling much humiliation in her heart.

But she remembered everything Huapin did today.

--------------

Cao Qinmo began to carefully track the emperor's whereabouts, planning to create an encounter with Yinzhen.

Just as he moved, he happened to run into Concubine Li and Concubine Fucha.

During this period, these two people bullied her a lot.

"Oh, isn't this Cao Da Ying? Why is she wandering around in this garden alone?" Concubine Li said sarcastically.

Cao Qinmo bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to Lady Li and Lady Fucha. I am just taking a casual walk."

Noble Lady Fucha sneered, "Does Lady Cao just want to take a stroll? Or does she want to meet the Emperor here?"

Cao Qinmo's expression changed, "Of course I'm just looking at the scenery."

"Really?"

"Seriously."

"You are still being stubborn," Li Guiren smiled, "Since the scenery is so beautiful, you can just stay here and watch it."

Cao Qinmo couldn't hold it in any longer.

She entered the palace for wealth and status, why should she be treated like this?

"Lady Li, I have never offended you. Why do you treat me like this?"

Lady Li had been accustomed to Cao Qinmo's submissive behavior recently, and when she suddenly saw her like this, she immediately felt insulted.

Although she and Noble Lady Fucha both work for Concubine Hua now, they are still in competition with each other.

A little Cao Qinmo dared to contradict her in person. What dignity did this noble lady have? !

Her face changed. "Cao promised to talk back to you, so you should kneel down here and reflect on your actions. You are not allowed to leave until dark!"
