An Yueli stepped into the warm hall, and everywhere she passed, noble girls stood up and saluted.

However, when passing by them, An Yueli could clearly see the deep meaning of fear or banter in the eyes of these people.

"It turns out that she is Princess Xiao, and she looks like an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to dare to argue with the concubine."

"Shhhh

"The first royal woman, I've heard of ......"

An Yueli didn't expect that her reputation as a woman would spread to the harem, and it seems that the driving force behind the scenes is bloody. In other words, the driving force behind the scenes was originally a person in this deep palace.

After a few steps, An Yueli came to the center of the warm hall.

In addition to the daughters of the princes and ministers' families, there were three old acquaintances, who were the crown princess, the third princess and the fifth princess.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

An Yueli greeted her according to the number of courtesies, and was not affected by the heavy and strange atmosphere around her.

The crown princess first looked at her coldly, and then said lightly when everyone was curiously waiting for her reaction.

"Don't dare to be."

These words are equivalent to releasing a signal, showing the attitude of the East Palace towards An Yueli, and at the same time, it also silently guided everyone on the scene.

The third princess and the fifth princess looked at each other and smiled, deliberately looking away, ignoring her.

An Yueli looked at the three concubines in front of her in silence, and saw that the other party didn't want to deal with her at all, so she also saved the trouble of greetings. It was only when she was about to take her seat that she realized that her chair was occupied by a woman with a raw face.

An Yueli was about to ask the other party to give up her seat, but the third princess suddenly grabbed the woman's arm and pretended to pull her enthusiastically to chat.

The rules in the palace are strict, and the seats need to be ranked strictly according to the level of status.

At this moment, the most noble person in the warm hall is the crown princess, and An Yueli is at the same level as the third princess and the fifth princess, and the seats should be next to each other.

The noble girl who occupied An Yueli's seat was now embarrassed and worried, and absentmindedly agreed to the other party's words, and her face was already red.

An Yueli could see that she did not dare to refuse the enthusiasm of the third princess, but also worried that she would offend herself. After thinking for a moment, she simply asked the palace maid to carry a chair over and placed it in front of the third princess in a dignified manner.

In the disbelief of everyone, An Yueli sat down comfortably, with banter and ridicule in her cold eyes, just staring at each other directly.

In just a moment, the third princess couldn't withstand the pressure, and thin sweat oozed from her back and palms. In the end, after a stalemate of incense, she finally let go of the noble girl.

After the noble girl couldn't wait to find a reason to leave, An Yueli returned to her position without hurrying.

The third princess only felt that she was inferior again, and couldn't help the yin and yang strange qi.

"What did Princess Xiao mean just now?"

"What do you mean?"

In the face of An Yueli's pretending to be stupid, the three princesses were even more angry.

"I was talking speculatively with Miss Chen, but you kept staring at us, isn't this a deliberate ruin?"

"What the third princess said is unreasonable, just now Miss Chen obviously wanted to give way to me, but she was dragged by you to chat and delay time. And instead of careless, I have generously given up my position to you, is it also wrong to do so? ”

"You!"

Seeing that the third princess couldn't say An Yueli, the fifth princess hurriedly helped.

"You've been staring at Miss Chen, aren't you just trying to intimidate the other party to leave? It is said that Princess Xiao has a strong personality, and it seems that the rumors are true. ”

"Staring at you two more times is a strong personality, is the fifth princess made of water? Since you can't see or touch it, what do you have to do to go out? ”

“！！！”

The fifth princess was choked and gasped, as if she was stunned by An Yueli's combat power.

Seeing that both of them were deflated one after another, the crown princess frowned and cleared her throat.

"Shut up, Princess Xiao is young and ignorant, and you are not sensible?"

The third princess and the fifth princess glanced at each other and were silent.

Although the crown princess reprimanded the two, she glared at An Yueli meaningfully.

"Princess Xiao is so sharp-toothed, and she doesn't know if it's good or bad if she refuses to suffer."

"The courtier's wife is straightforward and fast-talking, so the princess is worried."

“……”

The crown princess needs to maintain her dignified and elegant personality outside, even if she is sarcastic An Yueli, she must be restrained, and she can't appear to be too mean.

However, because of this, when An Yueli pretended not to understand, she felt a sense of powerlessness when her fist smashed on the cotton.

Fortunately, this strange atmosphere did not last long, and the voices of the palace people sounded outside the warm hall.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

The ladies and ladies at the scene stood up and saluted, and An Yueli followed the princess to the door.

"See the queen mother, the mother is a thousand years old!"

The queen has a thousand demeanors, grace and luxury, and as soon as she appeared, she shocked everyone's careful thinking.

"Today's winter solstice is another annual plum festival. The palace invites you to the palace to attend the banquet, in addition to rewarding everyone for a year's hard work, but also to pray for our reputation for the coming year with good weather and abundant grains. ”

"The queen's mother is the world, it is my honor to the country!"

After the queen accepted the flattery of everyone with satisfaction, she announced the beginning of the plum hunting festival.

According to the rules of previous years, all the ladies who came to participate in the plum hunting festival had to go to the plum garden in the palace in person, select a plum tree that they thought was the best to grow, pick it and then insert it in a bottle. In the end, the work will be brought back to the queen, and the queen will judge whose flower arrangement is the most beautiful.

"The time limit for looking for plum blossoms is an hour, and you daughters can set off now."

Under the prompting of the palace people, everyone walked out of the flower hall one after another.

When An Yueli came outside, she only felt that the air outside was free and clear.

"Sister Crown Princess, I heard that the plum blossoms in the east of the plum garden are growing better, so let's go over there and take a look."

The three princesses followed the crown princess diligently, eager to show their identities as concubines with each other everywhere.

Seeing this, the other nobles also hugged together and hugged around the crown princess, for fear that they would not be enthusiastic enough and miss the opportunity to befriend each other.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the three royal concubines, except An Yueli, did not have a single follower by her side. But instead of minding, she felt relieved.

"It's finally quiet."

An Yueli dismissed the accompanying palace people, and walked to the north of Meilin, where there were few people, with a bamboo basket. For her, compared to looking for beautiful plum blossoms, the moment of tranquility is more precious.

An Yueli went deep into the plum forest alone, and her mood gradually relaxed under the moisture of the beautiful scenery. Just as she chose a plum blossom and cut it herself, there was a caustic reprimand behind her.

"This plum tree is the first thing our concubine lady fancies, Princess Xiao is the first to get there, but she wants to steal the limelight from our mother?"
