The concubines are still jealous, but no one can compare to Lu Yingquan's beauty, and Lu Yingquan will please His Royal Highness, so this jealousy can only be hidden in the bottom of their hearts. It's not that no one thought of teaching Yingquan a lesson, but Zhao Meiren and Wei Liangren, who had a holiday with Lu Yingquan, didn't end well, so they could only put away their thoughts and silently hope that others would be the first bird.
On this day, when they came out of Suochuntai, several concubines of comparable status walked together, gossiping about each other.
"Sister Han's makeup today is extremely beautiful, and it complements the Zhu Hai on her head. A slightly cold voice said, "My sister is so good at dressing up, and when she is free another day, she will also teach my sister me." ā
Yun Yao helped Lu Yingquan to walk behind these concubines, and when they heard this, the two looked at each other, and they always felt a little strange.
Because the person who spoke was He Meiren, usually after she asked for peace, she would go back directly, and she usually wouldn't communicate with people much, but today she actually took the initiative to get close to Han Meiren, which is very abnormal.
"Yo, why does He Meiren pay attention to makeup when she is usually such a cold and cold person?" Xu Liangren asked, "What a strange thing?"
"Probably because Sister Han's makeup is too beautiful, so I can't help but ask. If there is any offense, please don't blame my sister. He Meiren was very humble, not only patted Han Meiren's ass, but also replied to Xu Liangren's words.
"Sister's mouth is really sweet, okay, if you are free, go and sit with me, and I will teach you. Han Meiren is a person with a hearty personality, and when she heard this, her heart was full of joy at the moment, so she agreed.
"This is also a bad posture, so I rely on makeup to attract His Highness. You quietly belong to Lu Meiren, where can you use any makeup, one face is enough to turn all beings upside down. is also a beauty, but the difference is big. Yao Meiren spoke, her tone full of disdain.
In fact, in Shen Che's harem, there are only a few who can be called famous, there were originally four beauties, namely Zhao Meiren, Han Meiren, He Meiren and Yao Meiren, but after Zhao Meiren died, Lu Yingquan was promoted to a beauty again, so there are still four.
And among these four people, except for Lu Yingquan, who monopolizes Shen Che's favor and rarely mixes with them, He Meiren is independent and does not seem to form gangs and is unknown. On the contrary, Han Meiren and Yao Meiren fought fiercely with each other, and they both desperately tried to climb to the position of Mrs.
After all, there are only three of them now, and there is still a vacant seat, and the competition is very fierce.
Sure enough, Han Meiren listened to Yao Meiren's words, and immediately ridiculed each other: "They are all beauties, and it doesn't matter if the difference is big, but I don't understand, they are all Yao family, why is there such a big difference?"
As soon as these words came out, Yao Meiren's face immediately darkened, she snorted coldly, threw her sleeves and left, and hated Han Meiren again in her heart.
The reason why she is so amazing is because Han Meiren poked at her heart again. She, Yao Meiren, is a sister with Yao Meng, one of the three ladies, Mrs. Yao. What's more, she is a sister, Yao Meng is a sister, and she is more advanced than Yao Meng in the Yiwang Palace.
She tried her best to climb to the position of the beauty, but there was no movement. So the Yao family also sent his sister Yao Meng to the palace, trying to consolidate the Yao family's position in Yiguo in this way, but Yao Meng was more powerful than her, and later came to the top and became a lady.
Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan saw the dispute between these people in their eyes, and passed by them quietly, but they were unexpectedly stopped by He Meiren: "If Sister Lu is free, you can go to Sister Han to gather together." ā
"Sister He, you can go by yourself, I have a small place there, and I can't afford these big Buddhas for them. Han Meiren had just been squeezed by Yao Meiren, and she was still angry, and when she heard He Meiren say this, she refused her invitation to Lu Yingquan.
The smile on He Meiren's face froze for a moment, and then smiled again: "It's my sister who doesn't think about it, since it's my sister's place, of course my sister is in charge." However, my sister doesn't have to take Yao Meiren's words to heart, I think Sister Lu has an excellent personality, and she won't embarrass her sister. ā
"You...... In this palace, you have such a gentle and plain temperament, so you think everyone is good. Don't make the wrong person and turn around and suffer a loss. Han Meiren said, and then turned to leave.
Seeing Han Meiren leaving, He Meiren turned to look at Lu Meiren and wanted to say something, but saw Yun Yao open her mouth first: "Lu Meiren, the medicine in Linglong Pavilion must have been boiled, let's go back quickly." ā
Lu Yingquan nodded, owed a slight debt to He Meiren, and then left with Yun Yao.
After returning to Linglong Pavilion, Lu Yingquan asked curiously: "I can see that you deliberately interrupted her, why don't you let me talk to her more?" ā
"No, even if we want to confirm her identity, we can't take the initiative, we must wait for the opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole. Yun Yao said, "I did this for two reasons. First, the Queen Mother has not completely given up monitoring you, and if you get too close to He Meiren, you will definitely implicate He Meiren. If she can't deliver the news to the Empress Dowager Qin, then the Empress Dowager Qin will inevitably suspect that something has happened to the Yiwang Palace, and she will send new people over, which is not good for us. Second, He Meiren's identity, we are just guessing, we are not sure whether she is the Empress Dowager Qin's person, if so, then it is just right, if not, if something is revealed between our words, wouldn't it be in the hands of others?"
When Lu Yingquan heard this, she nodded, feeling that it made sense, but she still had doubts in her heart: "Then if we don't contact her, if we miss the opportunity to send a letter to Ning Palace, wouldn't Empress Dowager Qin be suspicious?"
"Don't worry, if He Meiren is really another detail, she will find a way to take the initiative to contact us. Yun Yao said, "Didn't you notice that He Meiren was already a little abnormal today? She invited you to go to Han Meiren together, maybe she wasn't creating an opportunity to contact you." ā
"I see, so we just have to wait now. Waiting for this real detail, take the initiative to find us. Lu Yingquan understood, "But what method will she use to find us without being suspected?"
"Let's go and see, I always think it's not a simple matter for her to find Han Meiren, let's see the trick. Yun Yao thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, our purpose is just to lure her out and determine whether she is a fine worker." ā
After speaking, neither of them said anything more, but waited quietly.
The weather is getting hotter, and everything in the palace seems to be normal, and there is nothing wrong with it. Lu Yingquan listened to Yun Yao's words, and served Shen Che with peace of mind, and did not participate in the battle of the harem.
As the palace maid in charge of Linglong Pavilion, Sisi naturally wanted to cultivate ears and eyes for Lu Yingquan outside, so during this time, news came from time to time that some concubines were demoted or expelled from the palace.
Where there are women, there is war, this is something that Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan felt when they were in the Ning Palace, because they were also victims or victors in the war.
It's just that before Lu Yingquan came to Yiwang Palace, the number of concubines in the harem was huge and very full, and there were not so many battles.
But since the arrival of Yingquan, and with the precedent of Zhao Meiren and Wei Liangren, the entire Yiwang Palace has been in a commotion, and the palace concubines who have made mistakes have been one after another, except for those who are very smart or have a background in the family, the others are gradually decreasing in a very rapid way.
"Love, you can also go to other masters to chat, hang out, you don't know what this palace says about you, just arrange you everywhere, but no one speaks for you......" Si Si came back with a sad face, and said worriedly.
"Tell me, what did they arrange for me?" Lu Yingquan didn't care about Sisi's words, but was interested in the gossip in her mouth.
"Another master in the palace has died, that is, Xu Liangren, who squeezed you in front of the Queen Mother on the day of the last time the Queen Mother did her work. With the addition of Zhao Meiren and Wei Liangren, this is already the third. There are also several low-status lovers who have been banished from the palace, and there is a cold palace next to it that has not lived in eight years, and a good man and a beauty have also entered in the past two days. They all said...... These are all offended to you, so they ended up like this. Sisi told all the news from outside.
"It turns out that you are so powerful, you can eliminate all these concubines one by one if you stay in Linglong Pavilion without leaving home. Yun Yao listened to Sisi's words, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
"Miss Yun, don't laugh, it's because our beauties don't go out much, and they don't get along with other people in the palace, so everyone thinks so. Sisi said, "People in the palace say that Lu Meiren is jealous, and she can't tolerate so many women around Her Highness, and she wants to be favored alone, so she secretly attacked." ā
"They really think highly of me. Lu Yingquan also felt ridiculous, "Sisi, just listen to these words, don't pay attention to them." His Royal Highness is partial to me, and our life in Linglong Pavilion is better, so they can't wait to pull me into the water in this way, wait for me to make a mistake, and then let His Highness disappoint me. If we ignore them, their plans will not succeed. ā
"Beauty can see it thoroughly, and it's best to ignore this kind of thing. I'm afraid...... Behind these things, there is another driving force. Yun Yao said, lowering her eyes and hiding her inner emotions.
Within a month, more than a dozen palace concubines were either killed or demoted, and they were all ordered by Shen Che himself, which was not normal. Yun Yao estimated that the fate of these palace concubines was related to Shen Che, but she couldn't figure out what Shen Che was going to do.
Could it be ...... Is it paving the way for Yingquan?
These palace concubines, staying in the harem, sooner or later will be a big trouble, with Yingquan's mind, it is not enough to compete with so many people, so it is not impossible for Shen Che to clean up these restless people in advance, so that Yingquan can live a more comfortable life in the future.
