Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 563: Why mention a dead person?

Harem.

Shi Yaoyao really didn't expect this.

A servant of Ning Yuxuan actually dared not to take her, his mistress, seriously.

Hongyue's behavior just now was clearly giving her a signal.

That is, no one in Ningyuxuan has ever taken her, a talented person, seriously.

She still has the leverage over Hongyue, and yet Hongyue dares to look down on her like this.

What if Concubine Ye becomes the queen in the future?

Then, is there still a good life for her?

Now Concubine Ye is not moving because she wants to accumulate reputation for herself.

If she wants to sit in that position in the future, she cannot be known for harming concubines in the harem.

Even though she has killed many people.

The deposed empress and Concubine Lin, as well as Concubine Liang and Wang Yuan...

Which of their deaths was not caused by Concubine Ye?

Thinking of this, Shi Yaoyao was shaking with fear.

This Concubine Ye is so cruel and ruthless.

She wanted to get rid of all the annoying people in the harem and leave only herself as the favorite in the harem.

Because now the emperor will not go anywhere else except Ning Yuxuan.

Gao Meiren and the other people are now all behaving themselves and staying in their own little corner.

I guess they were also afraid that Concubine Ye would harm them one day.

Shi Yaoyao believed that if Concubine Ye really became the queen, she would not let her go.

Because she herself knew that Ye Fei would never forgive her for what she had done to her.

She already has a plan, but she needs an insider in Ning Yuxuan to make it work.

Since Hongyue is so disobedient and doesn't take her seriously.

Then she will find someone with weight.

She just didn't believe that Hongyue could get away with what she had done.

Cining Palace.

Shi Yaoyao came a little late today.

When she came to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, Xu Rou had already been there for a while.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

Shi Yaoyao bowed to the empress dowager respectfully as she did before.

"Get up."

The Queen Mother raised her hand and asked her to get up.

It's summer now and it's very hot outside.

This talented lady Shi still came to pay her respects every day without fail.

Compared to Xu Rou who came to pay her respects only occasionally, the empress dowager was still satisfied with this talented lady Shi.

She is only in front of Shi Cairen.

The Queen Mother then felt that she was the Queen Mother in the harem and that she still had authority.

Her children, including the concubines in the harem.

It was as if they had forgotten about her as the Queen Mother.

For such a long time, no one came to see her in the Cining Palace.

"Lady Shi, is there anything new in the harem? Tell us about it."

Xu Rou asked Shi Yaoyao weakly.

She has nowhere else to go now except the Queen Mother's place.

Now she is tired of seeing the scenery and flowers outside.

All she wanted now was to stay at her aunt's place and enjoy the coolness of the ice basin.

She did have an ice basin, but that was regulated.

The regulations for her as a concubine were not enough for her to enjoy the coolness all day long.

If she wanted more ice basins, she would have to buy them out of her own pocket.

Xu Rou didn't have much money to begin with, and she didn't want to spend this money in vain.

So she saved the ice basins for use before going to bed at night.

As for the daytime, she could just come to the Cining Palace to enjoy the ice basin.

Anyway, she, her aunt the Empress Dowager, has as much ice as she wants in the Cining Palace.

Concubine Du didn't dare to restrict the use of ice in the Cining Palace.

"This is new... My sister did hear about something, and it's not really that strange."

"Oh, tell me."

The Queen Mother asked with interest.

She has now become accustomed to staying in the Cining Palace and almost never leaves the house.

So she relied on these two people every day to bring her news from the harem.

"It's about Ning Yuxuan..."

Shi Yaoyao said this while observing the empress dowager's expression.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother's face suddenly became long.

However, she did not lose her temper when Ning Yuxuan was mentioned like she did before.

"How's Ning Yuxuan?"

Xu Rou is now just like the empress dowager before, and is extremely impatient to hear about Ning Yuxuan.

But whenever someone brought it up, she would start asking questions non-stop.

Even someone as smart as Shi Yaoyao doesn't know what Xu Rou is thinking.

"In order to show her generosity, Concubine Ye of Ningyuxuan actually allowed the palace maids of Ningyuxuan to leave the palace to visit relatives at will."

"I thought it was something new."

Xu Rou curled her lips indifferently.

"That bitch Ye Fei is used to doing things to win people's hearts. There's nothing strange about that."

Shi Yaoyao looked at the Queen Mother.

"Does the Empress Dowager think the same as Concubine Xu?"

The Queen Mother instinctively wanted to continue, saying that everything Xu Rou said was right.

But when Jing Shi Yaoyao asked this, she quickly and cleverly shut her mouth.

This talented person named Shi is much smarter than her stupid niece.

She must have her reasons for asking this.

"If any of the palace maids in the harem could go back whenever they wanted, wouldn't that cause chaos?"

The Queen Mother thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said.

When she was in charge of the harem, no one except those in the Cining Palace could leave the palace at will.

No one from other places dared to suggest leaving the palace.

"Your Highness, I heard that Hongyue from Ningyuxuan left the palace the day before yesterday and did not return until last night."

Shi Yaoyao covered her mouth and laughed.

"This maid can go out of the palace to visit relatives and stay overnight outside... This is the first time I have heard of this in the harem."

"It's really outrageous. Now that there's no queen in the harem, these people have started to act lawless."

Xu Rou said angrily.

"What's the problem with that Red Moon?"

Different from Xu Rou who couldn't grasp the key points.

No matter how dumb the Queen Mother was, she could hear the hidden meaning in Shi Yaoyao's words.

Today, this Shi Cairen specifically brought up Ning Yuxuan and this Hongyue...

It seems that this red moon is the reason why she came to the Cining Palace today.

"I have heard others mention this Red Moon..."

Shi Yaoyao said hesitantly.

"If you have something to say, can't you just say it straight out?"

Xu Rou scolded Shi Yaoyao angrily.

What she was most impatient to see now was this talented Shi, who always looked so mysterious.

It was as if she was a hundred times smarter than others.

But her aunt just fell for it.

This is also what makes Xu Rou most indignant about Shi Yaoyao.

Hearing Xu Rou's scolding, Shi Yaoyao didn't bother with her.

She is now immune to Xu Rou's domineering attitude.

"I wonder if Concubine Xu and the Queen Mother still remember Concubine Lin?"

"Why are you bringing up a dead person? You're just adding bad luck to your life."

The Queen Mother looked at Shi Yaoyao with dissatisfaction.

This talented scholar really spoke just as Rou'er said, and started to keep people in suspense.
