Concubine Lin frowned slightly when she heard this, then smiled and responded to Nan Xi:
"Yes, Di Ji is right. Today, Di Ji speaks for Rou Concubine, so I won't care about her anymore. Rou Concubine——"

Hearing this, Concubine Rou raised her head.

"Hurry up and thank Di Ji."

"Concubine, I thank Di Ji for your kindness."

"You're welcome. I'm just passing by and want to clean up the garden. It's not for anyone else." Nan Xi said calmly and did not look at Roubi again.

At present, Concubine Rou has surrendered to herself, and Nan Xi cannot make it too obvious, otherwise Concubine Lin's targeting of Concubine Rou will be even more obvious.

Lin Guifei saw that Nan Xi's attitude towards the concubine was also very cold, so the suspicion she had just aroused was dispelled.

Also, Concubine Rou is a cheap maid, how could Di Ji be involved with her?

Besides, Concubine Rou was the maid of Queen Jingxian before, so Di Ji would only hate her.

"Then I won't disturb Emperor Ji's purity. Leheng - let's go back."

Concubine Lin glanced at the maid beside her, and then Le Heng helped Concubine Lin leave the imperial garden.

Seeing Concubine Lin walking away, Nan Xi helped Concubine Rou.

"What happened today?" Nan Xi asked. She didn't believe Concubine Lin's words just now.

"Back to Diji, I went for a walk with Xing'er in the imperial garden. During the trip, I felt the wind was strong, so Xing'er went back to get her coat. But before she came back, she ran into Concubine Lin. Concubine Lin had always disliked Concubine, so she casually If you find an excuse, you will punish me." Concubine Rou said helplessly.

After so many years in the palace, whenever she met Concubine Lin, she would always be punished.

She's used to it.

Nan Xi frowned when she saw it, then took out a small green bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Roubi.

"This is a good medicine for wounds. If you apply it on your face, the swelling will subside in a moment."

The concubine was flattered and took the medicine bottle, then thanked her.

At this time, Nangong Zhaoxing also came back with his coat.

"Mother, my son is back——"

Nangong Zhaoxing looked up and saw Nan Xi and Xia Houqi there, and then saluted them.

After getting up, she saw the red marks on her mother-in-law's face.

"Concubine, your face...have you met Concubine Lin again?" Nangong Zhaoxing asked angrily.

Every time the mother-in-law and Lin Guifei met, she would always get a little injured. She only left for a while, and the mother-in-law was bullied by Lin Guifei!

"From what you say, Concubine Lin treats concubines badly?"

"Concubine Lin often beats and scolds her mother-in-law, just because her mother-in-law's status is not as high as hers." Nangong Zhaoxing said with great dissatisfaction.

"Recruiting stars, don't say too much." Concubine Rou scolded her in a low voice, signaling her not to talk about these scandalous things in front of Emperor Ji.

When Nangong Zhaoxing saw that her mother-in-law was displeased, she closed her mouth and said nothing more.

But from her few words, Nan Xi already understood the general outline of the matter, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Xia Houqi looked at Nan Xi who looked a little unhappy and said:
"Didn't Di Ji say that she wants to take me for a nice stroll? I miss Xiaotian a little bit. Why don't Di Ji take me to the Beast Garden to see Xiao Tian?"

Nan Xi knew that Xia Houqi was deliberately changing the subject, so she nodded, and then signaled to the fourth princess Roubin and her daughter, she left the Imperial Garden and headed towards the Garden of Beasts.

"Mother and concubine, why don't you let your daughter tell Di Ji about your situation?" Nangong Zhaoxing asked her mother and concubine after Nan Xi left.

"Di Ji is already busy with government affairs, why bother her with these little things? Anyway, we, mother and daughter, have been here for so many years, and it won't be long now. As long as Di Ji ascends the throne, we can You don’t have to be bullied by Concubine Lin and her daughter anymore." Roubi said to Nangong Zhaoxing extremely seriously.

Although Nangong Zhaoxing was unwilling to do so, her mother and concubine had said so, so she naturally had nothing to say.

The mother-in-law is right, she has been dormant for so many years, and it won't be long now.

On the way to the Beast Garden, Nan Xi had been thinking about how to improve the status of concubines in the harem.

Although it was inconvenient for her to support the concubine openly, she was her own person after all, and she couldn't let others bully her all the time.

"Are you thinking about Concubine Rou being bullied by Concubine Lin?"

Seeing Nan Xi's absent-minded look, Xia Houqi roughly knew what she was thinking, so he asked.

"Do you think there is any way to stop Concubine Lin from bullying Concubine Lin?"

Nan Xi thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a good solution, so she could only ask Xia Houqi to see if he had any good ideas.

Seeing her asking for help, Xia Houqi's mood immediately improved a lot, and he happily provided Nan Xi with ideas:

"The reason why Concubine Lin unscrupulously bullies a concubine who only gave birth to a princess is for two reasons. One is that Concubine Rou was born too young. She was originally just a maid next to Queen Jingxian, while Concubine Lin is a noble daughter of a noble family. This pair For Concubine Lin, it is an insult. She sincerely despises the concubine, so she suppressed her."

"Then what's the other reason?" Nan Xi nodded, feeling that what Xia Houqi said made sense.

"This is another reason——"

"What is it? Don't keep it secret, just tell me."

"Emperor Ji, please contact me personally, and I will tell you."

Nan Xi rolled her eyes, then turned to leave, not wanting to deal with this stinky man who just wanted to take advantage of her.

When Xia Houqi saw Nan Xi turn around and leave without any hesitation, he felt frustrated and quickly reached out to hold her:

"Why is Di Ji so restless? If you don't want to kiss me, then I won't kiss you. I will just tell Di Ji."

Nan Xi felt that Xia Houqi was so cheap that he could say something nice and angrily, but he insisted on making herself angry.

"This other reason is also the most direct reason. Your Majesty has not established a queen, so the affairs of the harem are all left to Concubine Lin to take care of. And Concubine Rou is not even a concubine, so why not let Concubine Lin take care of it?"

Xia Houqi finally got to the point, and Nan Xi instantly had a way to deal with it.

"Well, then I have to find a way to make Concubine Lin lose the power to manage the harem."

After hearing what she said, Xiahou smiled and then said:

"Di Ji, please be careful. Concubine Lin's behavior is very vicious. If you make her angry, she will do anything."

Hearing this, Nan Xi also raised her lips and smiled:
"Thank you for your concern, Prince Regent. I know this well."

The last time Xia Houqi heard her speak so confidently was the last time he reminded her to be careful of people in the household department. As a result, she was injured within a few days.

Seeing Xia Houqi's eyes falling on her injured area, Nan Xi knew she was in the wrong, coughed twice with guilt, and changed the subject:

"I have forgotten to play with Xiao Tian these days, let's go quickly."

After saying that, Nan Xi quickened her pace, and Xia Hou gave up, showing a hint of doting. (End of chapter)
