Concubine Chen, who was sitting closest to the woman who was called Sister Qin, thought for a while, and then said: "Yes, in fact, we don't want to compete for favor, we just want to be like the concubine Mu, chanting and praying for His Royal Highness, hoping that His Highness can recover soon, but that Concubine Mu, relying on her own favor, will not let our sisters do their part for His Highness, it is too much!" ”

"Then what can I do, people are favored, but we are not favored......" Concubine Lin on the side wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and said: "In the future, I am afraid that our sisters will suffer......"

"Sister Qin, I have an idea." Concubine Chen's eyes rolled, and she suddenly lowered her voice and said to the woman sitting at the top: "Why don't we make a move to retreat and advance?" ”

After listening to her words, Concubine Qin looked at her with some confusion and asked, "What does it mean to retreat as advance?" ”

"Women, you must know how to overcome rigidity with softness, tears are the most useful weapon for women." Concubine Chen pondered for a moment, then said to the others present: "Let's go and ask His Royal Highness the King of Yue together, so that he can agree that we will take turns to chant and pray for him, and keep vigil and copy the scriptures for him. ”

Concubine Lin listened to her words and said with tears in her eyes: "Then what if Your Highness doesn't agree??" ”

"If His Highness disagrees, our sisters will say that they are willing to go to the Hanshan Temple outside the city to cut their hair and become nuns, and from now on they will be accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha and pray for His Highness every day......"

Before Concubine Chen's words were finished, Concubine Lin directly interrupted her and said: "No, our original intention is to stay in this Yue Wang's mansion, what if you say this, what if the Yue King is in the middle of it??" ”

"Silly sister, this is called retreating as advancing!" Concubine Chen looked at her with a smug expression and said, "We are twelve sisters, but now the Holy Lord personally pointed it out to His Highness, how could His Highness agree to let us go to Hanshan Temple to become nuns together, wouldn't that be a loss of face for the emperor?" ”

Her voice paused, and then she continued: "When the time comes, His Highness will soften his heart, and maybe he will agree to let the twelve of us take turns to keep vigil for him." ”

"But ......" Concubine Lin listened to her words, and she still hesitated in her heart.

"Don't do it, let's do it, let's vote sisters, if you think my idea is good, let's do it, if you think my idea is not good, then let's discuss other methods, how about it??" Concubine Chen raised her hand as she spoke, glanced at the surrounding sisters and said, "If you are willing to do what your sister does, raise your hand." ”

The concubines in this room, you look at me, I look at you, after hesitating for a long time, someone finally raised his hand silently.

"One, two, three, four......" Concubine Chen held a handkerchief in her hand, counted the number of people who raised her hands, and said with a smile: "There are a total of nine sisters who agree with my method, so let's give it a try, I heard that His Royal Highness went out today, and it is estimated that it will be back in a while, sisters, go!" Let's go to the door and wait for Your Highness! ”

When she had said this, she got up and walked towards the door.

The concubines in this room hesitated for a moment, but they all stood up one by one and went out behind Concubine Chen.

Concubine Lin sat on a chair and looked at Sister Qin who was sitting on the top.
