Queen is fearless

Chapter 139 Humiliation
In the harem, even if the status is only one level away, they still have to salute when they meet each other.

Wen Xiuyuan is also considered lucky, her mother's family is good, so when she enters the palace, she is a third-rank Xiuyuan.

"Concubine Qingqiu Pavilion Lin, please greet Wen Xiuyuan." Although he had never met him before, but looking at the palace attire on the other party, he knew that his status was not low.

In this draft, a total of three people were selected, one Xiuyuan and two noble concubines. It was conceivable that this was Wen Xiuyuan who had just entered the palace.

"I heard before that there is a Lin family in the harem who was demoted from the concubine to Jieyu. Does my sister know?"

Looking at Lin Jieyu who was saluting to her, Wen Xiuyuan smiled lightly and spoke with gentleness in her words, but she didn't intend to wake Lin Jieyu up.

Not only that, but he deliberately sprinkled salt on Lin Jieyu's wound.

"Sister Xiuyuan, I dare not be a concubine." Still maintaining the posture of saluting, a coldness flashed in Lin Jieyu's eyes.

Even if it is a third-rank Xiuyuan, so what?She is so arrogant before going to bed!

"Lin Jieyu hasn't answered my question yet, do you know the demoted Lin?"

Seeing that Lin Jieyu avoided answering, Wen Xiuyuan took a step forward with a more gentle tone.

"If you go back to Xiuyuan, the concubine is what you said, the degraded Lin family." Up to now, Lin Jieyu responded to Wen Xiuyuan's question with a sense of humiliation in her heart.

"Oh?" She raised her eyebrows, and the smile on Wen Xiuyuan's face deepened. She walked up to Lin Jieyu, stretched out her hand, and lifted her chin.

In the past, when Mrs. Lin was still Concubine Lin, Wen Xiuyuan would have been courting death if she behaved like this. But now, the identities of the two are so different, Lin Jieyu can only endure it.

"It's nothing more than that." Withdrawing her hand, Wen Xiuyuan took out a handkerchief from her cuff, wiped her hands, and threw it on the ground casually.

"Empress Xiuyuan, let's move on, don't be spoiled by these unworthy things."

On the side, the little maid stepped forward and said to Wen Xiuyuan with a flattering expression. When she said this, she did not forget to glance at Lin Jieyu who was on the side.

"You are right, let's continue walking." After finishing speaking, he held the hand of the little maid and continued to walk forward.

"Master." When Wen Xiuyuan walked away, Qiuyue got up quickly and helped Lin Jieyu up.

"Master, you must take care of yourself, don't make yourself angry because of these irrelevant people."

Qiuyue could hear all the conversations just now, and she understood that the master must be feeling very uncomfortable at this moment.

Ever since they were demoted, the lives of their masters and servants have become more and more difficult. From time to time, Concubine Dong would send someone to make things difficult.

Finally, Concubine Dong calmed down a bit, the weather was fine today, the master wanted to go out for a walk, but unexpectedly met Xiu Yuan who had just entered the palace.

Due to the difference in status, the other party can only endure what they do.

"Go back." Lin Jieyu stood up, with no emotion in her eyes, she ordered and returned to Qingqiu Pavilion.

Fengyang Palace.

"The concubine heard that the emperor is going to take the empress to the palace to escape the summer heat, so I came here to ask the empress to agree to my request."

Facing Gu Jinzhi's blessing, Jiang Xiuyi spoke in a respectful tone.

"What's the matter, why don't you sit down and say so much?" Before, Jiang Xiuyi had already saluted, and she usually didn't have so many rules in front of her.

Gu Jinzhi wondered if Jiang Xiuyi also wanted to go out of the palace to have a look, so she came to her. After all, what she originally wanted was to keep Jiang Xiuyi in the palace.

Wait until next year when I have another chance to take her to the palace to escape the summer heat. I'm afraid it won't work this year, because there must always be someone in the harem.

"Thank you, ma'am." Sitting down again, Jiang Xiuyi looked at Gu Jinzhi, "My concubine, please allow me to leave no concubines on the list for going to the palace this time."

"You don't want to go?" Jiang Xiuyi's words were beyond Gu Jinzhi's expectation, she looked at her and asked in surprise.

"If you go back to the empress, I don't want to go out this year. If there is a chance in the future, the empress will let the concubine go."

She smiled and said, Jiang Xiuyi did this to share Gu Jinzhi's worries.

I also know that the empress will not be the only one traveling this time, besides the empress dowager, there must be someone in the harem who will travel with her.

According to the current situation, Concubine Dong will definitely not be kept, and the three new ladies who entered the palace should also accompany her. As for the others, it depends on fate.

In this harem, the queen mother and the empress are not there, so there must be someone guarding and taking care of some big and small things.

To put it bluntly, in this harem, there is only myself, who can make the empress feel at ease.

Instead of waiting until the empress comes to discuss with me, it's better to take the initiative and take the matter down.

"It's not that you don't want to go out, you just want to relieve my worries." After hearing Jiang Xiuyi's words, Gu Jinzhi immediately understood what she meant.

She looked at Jiang Xiuyi with apology in her eyes. Logically speaking, with her identity, she could definitely travel with her.

Although everything looks good in this harem, only the people who live here know whether it is good or not.

If there is a chance to go out and have a look, who wouldn't want to?Unfortunately, Jiang Xiuyi said that she didn't want to.

"It's a concubine's blessing to be able to share the worries for the empress, so please ask the empress to accept the concubine?"

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xiuyi got up again and saluted Gu Jinzhi, "If the empress loves my concubine, before you go out, can I give my concubine a grace to meet my mother?"

At the beginning of May, Jiang Xiuyi's mother celebrated her birthday, she had no way to go back, all she could do was to invite her mother into the palace, have a meal with her and talk to her.

"I have agreed to this matter, and I will ask the emperor to let your mother stay in the palace for one night. You can send someone to inform you."

Gu Jinzhi also knew about the birthday, so he agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Xiuyi hastily saluted again. You must know that it is an honor for my mother to enter the palace, and the empress even promised to let her stay for one night. Such an honor is really rare!
"Thank you, ma'am." At this moment, Jiang Xiuyi was very happy in her heart. She had already planned to cook something for her mother when the time came.

"Get up quickly, after the emperor and this palace leave the palace, you will have to work hard on all matters in the harem."

Greeting her to get up, Gu Jinzhi said a few words, "Concubine Dong will not stay in the palace during this trip. In this harem, your status is the highest. If there is an important matter, you can handle it at your own discretion."

The Imperial Palace is not very close to the Xinggong Palace, if something happens, it may be too late to write a letter to report, Gu Jinzhi gave Jiang Xiuyi a lot of power.

"Yes, I will remember my mother's words, please rest assured." Before she sat down, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her when Gu Jinzhi finished speaking.

Seeing her like this, Gu Jinzhi had no choice but to stand up and walk over, and helped her up with his own hands, "I've said it all, there's no need to be polite, why are you still knocking? Afterwards, I will personally write a decree and deliver it to you. ready to use."
