Quickly wear the born bad seed

Chapter 241 Loyal Little Maid
Concubine Liu's eyebrows were curved, like clouds in the distant mountains, floating and uncertain, and at the same time, there was a trace of undetectable sadness in her eyes, "If I had not been selected to enter the palace, perhaps... I could have stayed by my mother's side forever.

Xiao Tao, I originally didn't want to compete for favors, I just wanted to stay in the palace for the rest of my life, but the harem struggle is not as simple as you and I imagined, some things are either you or I die, I'm really afraid that one day I will be implicated, and I may even implicate my parents..."

Linlang understood what the young lady meant by saying this. The young lady probably didn't want to compete anymore, but if she didn't compete for favor, her life would get worse and worse. Well, even if life became worse, the two of them, master and servant, could still depend on each other. At worst, they could live in a remote place. Anyway, they would always have to eat in the palace.

"Then I will listen to you in everything." Linlang also decided not to compete for favor. The women in the harem were more cunning than each other. It was fine for them to just stay in their own little palace.

The leader also started his own side business. For example, when he was working in the budget room, he accumulated some connections. Then he used these connections to make some embroidery and sell it. He even specialized in treating other people's illnesses. Medicines in the palace were hard to come by, but some minor illnesses could be relieved through acupuncture and massage.

Although Linlangzhuang didn't have much money, she had accumulated a lot of good reputation and got in touch with some palace maids and eunuchs. At the same time, she learned a lot of inside information from them. It turned out that the young lady was chosen because she looked very much like Concubine Shu from some angles. It was not about how much they looked like each other, but her temperament.

"It turns out to be another Wanwan Leiqing." Linlang frowned, but the Empress Shufei was still alive. It was too tasteless for the Emperor to openly look for a substitute.

The most important thing is that Concubine Shu is still alive. She would never tolerate someone who looks somewhat like her competing for her favor, which is why what happened in her previous life happened.

Linlang didn't plan to take their young lady to get involved in those messy things. Having a child would be the best, but she didn't expect it if she didn't. It wouldn't matter if she stayed in the palace for the rest of her life. She would wait until she was familiar with the entire palace. If it didn't work out, she would take the young lady with her and then secretly run back home to live a good life with the master and mistress.

Linlang planned carefully, and in the blink of an eye it was New Year's Eve. The young lady didn't want to attend the palace banquet, so she reported illness early and stayed in her palace obediently. The master and servant ate a small hot pot with some small green vegetables on the side. These small green vegetables were all grown by herself using the warm kang in the side hall, and the taste was particularly fresh.

Linlang looked around. "Details. When spring comes, I will reclaim the vacant land behind the palace, plant a few acres of green vegetables, and raise a few chickens and ducks. Then we will have more eggs than we can eat. By the way, I found a few fruit trees in other side halls. When the trees are ripe, we can eat fresh fruits."

Although life in the palace was not very good, at least there was hope. Although her young lady was an unpopular noble, she at least had the status of a noble and would not be looked down upon wherever she went. Even though the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs had many criticisms, they dared not go too far. After all, if this matter really came to the attention of the Emperor and the Empress, they would be in big trouble. They just reduced some things on the original basis and could barely survive.

When Concubine Liu first entered the palace, she actually didn't have much expectations for the palace or the emperor. She felt only disappointed and even confused about her future life. It was not until she saw Xiao Tao that she felt like she was alive again.

"I asked a fellow villager in the palace to bring a letter to Master Wang and his wife. I don't know if they received it. Although Miss can't visit them, the palace maid can try to see them at the door." Linlang patted Concubine Liu's hand, "Miss, if I really have the opportunity to see Master and his wife in the future, you can watch from the side."

Hearing this, Concubine Liu burst into tears and her nose was red, like a little rabbit that had suffered a little injustice. "Thank you for thinking so much about me. As the saying goes, a day in the palace is as deep as the sea. I don't expect to see my parents anymore, but if I can have a chance in this lifetime, it would be a blessing." After entering the palace, a concubine is a member of the royal family in life and a ghost of the royal family in death. There is no possibility of leaving the palace in this lifetime, let alone seeing her parents. She had already given up the idea, but Linlang gave her hope again.

In the harem at the beginning of spring, the most favored one was still Concubine Shu, but even though Concubine Shu was favored, her belly was still not moving. The other most favored one was Yu Chongrong. The two of them were really evenly matched in the competition for favor, but Concubine Shu was still more skilled.

"Grandma, am I getting old? Why did the emperor start to favor other women? He said that I was the person he loved most in his life, but he let that little bitch crawl on my head. Although he stood on my side verbally, his heart had long been on that little bitch's side. Damn that little bitch, she just relied on her youth, what's the big deal..." Shufei's tears fell as she spoke. She touched her belly, "It turns out that men are unreliable. Only children are the most important. It's a pity that I am not blessed. I have taken so many medicines over the years, but there is still no movement in my belly."

The nanny said with a distressed look on her face: "Miss, maybe it's just that fate has not arrived yet. Besides, we can't have children, can't we get one from somewhere else?"

Concubine Shu's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed. "There are so many concubines in the harem, but the emperor only has two princesses and not even a prince. Maybe it's not because I'm pregnant, but..."

Nanny's heart suddenly rose, and she looked at the door with a look of fear. When she found that no one was there, she said carefully: "My dear lady, this is just between the two of us, but please don't let others hear it."

Concubine Shu sneered twice, "What if others hear it? This matter really has nothing to do with us. There are three thousand beauties in the harem."

The nanny lowered her head and said, "There are already two princesses in the palace now, or maybe it's not our destiny yet. If it really doesn't work, let's promote someone. Liangliang has to build up his own power."

Did Concubine Shu understand what Nanny meant by this? She just wanted to find someone to share her favor, but she was really unwilling to do so. Even if she didn't like the emperor and only regarded the other person as a trophy and a show-off, she would never allow others to touch the emperor.

Concubine Shu snorted coldly, "I am a virtuous and beautiful lady, why should I flatter others to share my favor? Isn't this just making things difficult for myself?"

What else did the nanny want to say? But Concubine Shu didn't want to listen anymore. At the same time, the Empress was also talking about this matter, but the Empress wanted to irritate her. Concubine Shu was not trying to curry her favor or win over her people.

"I remember that during the selection, there was a concubine who looked a bit like Consort Shu. It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman can only be in a remote palace like that. She has only been favored twice since she entered the palace. In this case, why don't I help you this time?"
