It is better to be an emperor than to fight in the palace

Chapter 21 It’s easy to get beaten

Seeing Yuan Qifeng standing aside without saying anything, Concubine Qi raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, Jiang Changzai is dissatisfied with my handling of this matter?"

Yuan Qifeng snorted, "I don't dare to be dissatisfied with the Imperial Concubine. I just feel that our master and servant were plotted by Ruan Lian in this matter, and they almost turned against each other because of this. Now that the Imperial Concubine has just settled it, everything will be fine." I just feel unbalanced.

My dearest concubine, please don’t think too much. I definitely didn’t mean that because you were afraid of Ruan’s promise to the Queen Mother behind you, or because you didn’t want to offend the Queen Mother, you made our master and servant suffer the consequences of being dumb.

Although this poor girl and I were forced into such a situation by Ruan Sheng, we don’t blame anyone. Who made us not have a strong backing like the Queen Mother? We had no choice but to knock out the teeth and swallow them in the stomach. "

Ruan Lian's blood vessels are about to explode. After talking so much, how did she end up hurting you, master and servant? !

Yes, I wanted to drive a wedge between you master and servant, and it would be best to cause internal strife among you. The problem is, didn’t I succeed in doing so?
  Not only was it unsuccessful, but as the saying goes, if you steal the chicken, you will lose the rice. Chun'er made a mess on his face on the spot.

Now she doesn't care about Chun'er's crimes anymore, okay? She's not happy anymore. She somehow thinks that she has bullied her because of the support of the Queen Mother.

"Your Highness..." Ruan Lian is not ready to suffer from this cowardice anymore.

Concubine Qi waved her hand and signaled Yuan Qifeng to continue, "Then I wonder how I can handle this to satisfy Jiang Changzai?"

At this time, Concubine Qi had already thought of several answers in her mind.

First, Jiang Changzai hopes that he can use this opportunity to punish Ruan Lian and satisfy his selfish desires. This means that her vision only ends here, and he does not need to take her too seriously.

Second, Jiang Chang didn't say it publicly, but privately he had an irreconcilable conflict with the Queen Mother behind Ruan Lian, indirectly creating conflicts between the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Then he couldn't tolerate her running around in the harem. .

Concubine Qi thought a lot, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that every possibility was possible. Her originally relaxed body gradually became tense, and her eyes became sharper.

"Compensate!"

Under the spotlight, Yuan Qifeng succeeded in breaking everyone's defense.

"Compensate?" Concubine Qi didn't believe her ears. Did she mean the same thing as what she meant by losing money?

Yuan Qifeng nodded, "Ruan promised to cause such serious harm to our master and servant, so it's not an exaggeration to ask her to pay some gold, silver, soft goods or something."

It is indeed not an exaggeration, but the disputes between concubines have always ended in life and death, or the family forces behind each will end up together.

This is the first time that Concubine Qi has seen that things can be solved by giving money in this deep palace.

Could this be what makes Jiang Changzai different?
  Concubine Qi observed Yuan Qifeng curiously, but the latter didn't notice it at all. He just stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, Ruan agrees."

Seeing that Concubine Qi had no intention of getting involved, Ruan Lian knew that she would have to lose money and avoid disaster today.

But even though she was just a young lady from the Shangshu Mansion in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Ruan Lian had never had anything to do with money.

I don’t know how Jiang Simian managed to get away with it. The daughter of a dignified general, she just didn’t have a high position and was just a constant presence. She actually reached out to ask someone to pay for it. It was really embarrassing.

Ruan Lian dug into her sleeves and simply put the entire purse into Yuan Qifeng's hand, "I'll give it all to you. Now you should be satisfied."

Feeling the heavy weight in his hand, Yuan Qifeng didn't feel much, but he must be very satisfied.

After saying hello to Concubine He Qi, Yuan Qifeng took Chun'er and left with their heads held high. Ruan Lian originally wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Concubine Qi, but she didn't expect that the latter yawned after Yuan Qifeng left and said, "I've been really busy these days, and I'm feeling sleepy, so I won't keep you much longer."

Ruan Lian had no choice but to resign.

On the way back to Qingyuan Hall, Ruan Lian became angrier as she thought about it. She was clearly the one who suffered the most, but in the end it all became her own fault.

There is nothing to say, and I have lost all my money. How can I not give up any face even if I promise? !

Just as he was thinking about it, a woman in goose-yellow palace clothes walked towards him with a smile.

"Who are you?" Ruan Lian has been busy dealing with Jiang Changzai since she entered the palace, and she knows nothing about the other concubines in the harem.

"I am Liu Guiren from Yuanxiu Palace, my name is Liu Ying, and my father is the Minister of Household Affairs," Liu Ying introduced herself.

Ruan Lian quickly said hello to her.

"There's no need to be too polite. I'm just a small nobleman. What's more, in this harem, no matter how high your status is, it's useless if you don't have the favor of the harem," Liu Ying said with a sigh.

Liu Ying's words simply spoke to Ruan Lian's heart.

"Liu Guiren, what you said is so right. In this harem now, except for her, Jiang Changzai, who else can get a second look from the Holy Emperor?"

"Jiang Simian?! Humph! It's just a little Chang Zai. I don't know what kind of foxy tricks he used to seduce the Holy Emperor." Thinking of Jiang Chang Zai, Liu Guiren subconsciously shrank in pain from half of his body.

"What? Liu Guiren, you and Jiang Changzai also have conflicts?" Ruan Lian smacked her thigh excitedly. Why did she always pay attention to the things around Jiang Simian? Why didn't she think that with her kind of temperament, she would definitely make enemies in the harem? Countless!
  Liu Guiren glanced at her. Why would she get excited when someone had a conflict? It was just a promise and it was not something that would go on the stage.

But thinking about that one-sided beating, Liu Guiren couldn't help but shed a handful of bitter tears.

"I was just beaten by her," Liu Guiren admitted honestly.

Ruan Lian's pretty face fell, "I was beaten twice by her, oh no, including today, it counts as three times."

Got beaten three times? !

Liu Guiren felt happy, why did she feel so comfortable after being beaten? Oh, now she felt much more balanced.

On his face, Liu Guiren still had a sad look on his face. He took Ruan Lian's hand and said, "I can't help it. Who made her Jiang Simian the only one to be favored now? Even the imperial concubine would give her three points on weekdays, let alone us." These are the people.”

Ruan Lian was very angry, "They are all the emperor's women, why should she be the only one favored by the emperor?"

"I heard that you also live in Qingyuan Hall. Don't you often see the Holy One? They say that the first to get the moon is near the water. Sister Ruan, you have to seize the opportunity." Liu Guiren said on his face that I am doing this for your own good.

Ruan Lian sighed helplessly, "Sister, I don't know. Even if Jiang Chang and I live under the same roof, in the eyes of the Holy Emperor, I can't compare to the tip of her finger."

The only convenience of living in Qingyuan Hall is that Yuan Qifeng can cause trouble for himself anytime and anywhere when he is unhappy. Oh, by the way, it also makes it easier for him to get beaten.

The two of them went from sister to sister, and after several times, they couldn't help but hug each other and burst into tears.
