"Now, you are both the emperor's people. If you are always beaten until there is no good flesh on your body, how will you serve the emperor in the future? How will you... fight for your own glory?"

The first rule in the harem is: those who win the Sacred Heart will be honored, and those who disobey the emperor's will will perish.

This is especially true for concubines. Only by grasping the Sacred Heart can one rise all the way up.

Lian'er nodded understandingly.

Aunt Xu promptly reminded: "There are a lot of things. The maid will divide them up later and help the young master to send them back. Alas, this should have been prepared for a long time, but... it made me a little confused. I hope that the young master will Lord, don’t mind, be considerate.”

Lian'er nodded in thanks: "Lian'er feels guilty and uneasy because she troubled my aunt. Please don't say that again, aunt."

Aunt Xu smiled and nodded in approval. Aunt Xu simply led Lian'er and Shen Yingxia to the courtyard where the maids were: "Our queen feels sorry for the little master's troubled life experience. Little master, why not choose two people who suit your heart."

The courtyard where the maid lives is much more frugal and has more people living there. The girls were of similar age, and they gathered together in twos and threes, chatting while doing work such as washing and mending clothes.

Shen Yingxia and others arrived suddenly. The girls in the courtyard didn't pay attention and were still chatting. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

One said: "Sister Zhang is coming of age soon. When she is released from the palace, what kind of husband would she like to find? Tall or strong? Strong or thin?"

The other one pushed the maid who was talking and joked with the quiet girl in front of them: "I know, I know! Sister Zhang likes little scholars with fair faces!"

The girl who was sitting on a small stool sewing, blushed on her cheeks: "Don't talk nonsense, the changes in this palace are huge every day!"

"Oh, it turns out that Sister Zhang also wants to be like that person? Hahaha..."

"Hmm, I've seen it from a distance. The waiter is no better looking than our sister Zhang!"

... Lian'er's already hesitant steps suddenly stopped.

Shen Yingxia gently held her hand and whispered: "This is something you will definitely experience..."

Lian'er took a few deep breaths before she mustered up the courage to walk into the courtyard.

At Aunt Xu's call, the yard was filled with three rows of young girls, all of whom were as young as green and fresh.

"Little Master Lian came here and picked two capable men to straighten their backs for me." Aunt Xu trained.

Lian'er had been a maid and knew the thoughts of these maids very well.

As early as when she had been favored but not promoted, everything about her had probably been spread among this group of girls.

There are also high-ranking slaves in the palace. A slave who follows a favored master will naturally speak tough words.

Today, there are not many concubines in the emperor's harem, but even so, she still only got an unqualified servant, which shows how little attention she has. If you follow her, you will be subjected to all kinds of grievances.

These girls received a very strict education as soon as they entered the palace. Therefore, even if these girls did not want to be selected, they would only protest by hunching their waists.

There are also those who are extremely confident, such as the one called "Sister Zhang", who stands tall and proud, hoping to be selected.

However, such a maid was not planning to serve her as a small chosen maid, but was planning to use her as a springboard, compete with her, steal the emperor's attention, and become her own master.
