Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 159 Yellow Leaf Version of the Bigu Pill

Matron Xing is a smart person. If she weren't smart, she wouldn't have gotten to her current position. You have to know that being the managing matron of Chuxiu Palace is a lucrative job. All the families with concubines would try to curry favor with the concubines in secret. Even these concubines, if they want to live a good life in Chuxiu Palace, or even want to make further progress, the possibility would be much smaller without the help of the managing matron like her, so they would pay less respect to the concubines in secret.

Nanny Xing sighed, the Empress was a good talker, and told her not to care about anyone's face. Whose face was being cared about in the current harem? Of course, it was the Empress' face. As for the Empress Dowager, it was said that even the Emperor did not approve of some of her behaviors. As long as she handled the matter impartially, even if the Empress Dowager reported it to the Emperor, she would not be able to be convicted.

Nanny Xing weighed the pros and cons in her mind and made a quick decision: "Xu Rou, just now you said that you were very polite to ask Wang Yuan to give up her seat for you."

"Madam, yes." Xu Rou was very proud. Her aunt had told her that she had already explained everything to Madam Xing, and Madam Xing had also promised to take good care of her in Chuxiu Palace. Now, as soon as she opened her mouth, she began to favor her. Huang Ziye, that bitch, wanted to fight with her. She really overestimated her own abilities.

"I would like to ask the ladies present here, if Xu Rou politely asked you to stand up and give up your seats, would any of you be willing to do so? If you are willing, please stand up." Nanny Xing's tone was very polite, which did not match her serious face at all.

The concubines looked at each other. They were just here to serve as a foil, so how could this be related to them?

Xu Rou looked at these concubines with unkind eyes. They were a bunch of bitches who all wanted to take advantage of her cousin the emperor. When she really entered the harem, she would make sure these people pay.

"Anyone who is willing can stand up. Xu Rou just said it, she is very polite and asks people to give up their seats." Nanny Xing tried to persuade them, but unfortunately no maiden stood up, and some even backed away.

"Xu Rou." Nanny Xing's tone became sharp. "You asked someone to give up their seat. If they were willing, it was a favor. If they were unwilling, it was normal. But you bullied the weak and slandered their innocence. Chuxiu Palace is not a place for you to act wildly. Considering that you have just arrived, I will punish you lightly and give you a severe warning. You are not allowed to eat tonight. You heard it clearly."

"Madam Xing..." Xu Rou was a little overwhelmed. Didn't her aunt already tell her?

"When did I... defame someone's innocence?" This was the accusation she wanted to put on that bitch Huang Ziye, and she couldn't admit it herself.

Nanny Xing looked at Huang Ye, and Huang Ye understood: "You falsely accused Xiao Yuanzi of having an ear disease. If this gets out and someone takes it seriously, how will Xiao Yuanzi live in the future? If she can't live, she will be depressed... You murderer." Huang Ye was so eager to watch the fun that he even gave Xu Rouan the title of murderer.

Wang Yuan: Thank you. I am very open-minded. Sister Ye, you won’t say that I am gone in a moment.

"Huang Ziye..." Xu Rou was heartbroken. This bitch let her escape again today, but on the contrary, she was punished. Although it was just a matter of not eating a meal, it was a slap in the face. Xing Ma, you old fool, you just wait until I officially enter the palace...

"Thank you for your teachings, Madam. Xu Rou has learned a lot." Suppressing the anger in her heart, Xu Rou bowed. There is a long way to go, and now is not the time to be angry. Today she acted on impulse and was too careless, which led to the current failure. In the future... she will not fail again.

"Mammy, I was brave and courageous today, saving others at the risk of my own life. Can you give me some reward?" Huang Ye was in a very good mood when he saw Xu Rou in trouble. He even dared to ask Mammy Xing for a reward.

"I haven't said anything about you yet. It's fine if you just stopped the man at that time, but you said so much nonsense. If it weren't for your nonsense, so many troubles wouldn't have happened. You still want a reward. It's more like a fine."

Nanny Xing was worried because she had punished even the Empress Dowager's niece. If she let the troublemaker go, she would be in trouble. Huang Ziye was smart and took the initiative to hand the handle to her.

"You will be punished the same as her. You are not allowed to eat dinner. The rest of you can go back." Nanny Xing said majestically.

"Madam, this is not fair. I am just doing good things..." Madam Xing had already walked away, but Huang Ye was still yelling.

Nanny Xing really wanted to turn around and punish this ignorant young lady who dared to say that she was unfair. Didn't she know that there was no fairness in the harem?

Nanny Xing suppressed her anger and said: If not... Never mind, this child is overacting. She is a kind-hearted nanny and won't bother with her.

Wang Yuan pulled Huang Ye who was still yelling: "Sister Ye, everyone has left."

Huang Ye looked at the silly girl with pity. How could she not know that the person had left? She was just yelling for others to see.

No matter how bad Xu Rou was, she was still the empress dowager's niece. How could the empress dowager save face when she was punished while she, the person involved, was not harmed? So she took the opportunity to give Nanny Xing a way out. In this way, the situation would be balanced and everyone involved in this matter would be better off.

Naturally, Xu Rou and Huang Ye had no food to eat that night, and Que'er did not go to get food for Huang Ye. Huang Ye looked very dissatisfied and went to bed early.

Huang Ye was actually very happy while she was asleep. When she was at home, she thought that she might get hungry sometimes after entering the palace, so she wondered if she could make something like the fasting pills in the novels about cultivation, where one pill would fill her stomach.

She tinkered with it for a few days and finally figured it out. She tried it herself and although it couldn't help one go without food for a few days, one pill was enough for a day. To improve the taste, she even made it with orange flavor, but it also consumed a lot of precious medicinal materials in the mansion.

This time she brought five pills in total, which were sewed into the corners of her cotton-padded coat by the deft Ruyi. The pills were soft, so they escaped the inspection of the maids in the palace. There was a gap in the corner of the coat, so it was convenient to take them out.
