Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 176 Calm down

"I have met Lady Ying Guipin. May Lady Ying Guipin live in peace and happiness."

Seeing Li Sisi sitting in her seat, the teacup broken and spilling tea on the ground, and the palace servants and eunuchs kneeling on the ground, Yan Shuer was not angry. Instead, she performed a very solemn salute to Li Sisi according to the rules.

Two palace maids and two eunuchs stood vigilantly beside Yan Shu'er, fearing that the sullen-faced Concubine Ying Li Sisi would make any unusual movements.

Li Sisi did not react to the palace servants' vigilance, but just looked coldly at the kneeling Yan Shuer.

Yan Shuer smiled sweetly, handed her hand to the palace maid beside her, and said, "Help me up. Please forgive me, Concubine Ying. I am heavy and cannot kneel for too long."

"Since Lady Ying Guipin doesn't like the tea poured by the palace servants, then let me do it. When I was in Zhaozheng Palace, I served Your Majesty diligently and attentively, which is why I have such good fortune now, becoming a noble lady and even pregnant with the emperor's heir. Why don't you clean up the debris and tea on the ground?"

Yan Shu'er walked forward, picked up the teapot and new teacup that were not affected, and slowly poured tea. She also nonchalantly kicked the palace servant who was kneeling on the ground and said.

"Noble Concubine Ying did not mourn for the Empress Dowager at Ci'an Palace, but came to my Changchun Palace instead. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty and the Empress will blame you?"

"Madam Ying Guipin, please have some tea."

Yan Shuer held the teacup in both hands and handed it to Li Sisi. Li Sisi had been staring at her silently since she came in, which was quite creepy.

Yan Shu'er didn't expect Li Sisi to take the teacup, so she placed it directly on the table next to Li Sisi. When she was about to take her hand back, Li Sisi grabbed her wrist.

However, Yan Shu'er did not struggle. Instead, she shook her head at the palace maids and eunuchs who were eager to try.

"I don't know what I did wrong to make you, Concubine Ying, dislike me.

I think I have always been kind to others since I entered the palace, and have never been disrespectful to Concubine Ying. On the contrary, it is you, Concubine Ying, who has repeatedly insulted and bullied me since I became your majesty's concubine.

I still remember that the Changchun Palace was originally called the Yingchun Palace. At that time, I was a lowly selected concubine. Your Majesty, you pointed at my nose on the road and said to Concubine Rou, who was then Concubine Rou, that I was like the winter jasmine on the roadside. No matter how beautifully it bloomed in spring, it would not survive the summer.

I was extremely frightened at the time, and when I returned I begged Your Majesty to change the name of Yingchun Palace to Changchun Palace.

Changchun, Changchun, I have been through all the spring, summer, autumn and winter of every year. Although I am no longer as favored as you were at the beginning, Your Majesty has always reserved some grace for me.

As for Concubine Ying Gui... I have no intention of blaming or mocking Her Majesty. It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. I have endured it silently. Even though I was framed by Her Majesty, I have never reported Her Majesty to Your Majesty. I just hope that one day I can have it all out with Her Majesty.

If Your Majesty has any dissatisfaction or questions about me, please feel free to speak up.

If Your Majesty is just dissatisfied with my background, when I give birth to a son and am promoted to a noble concubine, I will be on an equal footing with Your Majesty. At that time, will Your Majesty still be able to bully me on the grounds that I am disrespectful to a high position?"

"You are so sweet-talking and charming, no wonder you are still favored for so long. I just asked you to perform a few formalities and let you act like a pitiful victim in front of others. But I am not here to listen to your nonsense today."

Li Sisi let go of Yan Shuer's hand and sneered.

"Your Majesty, why don't you have some tea first? I've said so much in one breath and my mouth is dry." Yan Shu'er said with a smile in her eyes and curved eyebrows.

"All of you go down. I have something to say to Lady Li in private."

Li Sisi knew that Yan Shuer only said nice things in front of others, and she was not here to trick her or find fault with her. She did not need evidence or ask others to judge Yan Shuer.

The palace maids and eunuchs turned a deaf ear to Concubine Ying's instructions and stood quietly where they were, with their heads lowered and their eyes submissive.

"Tell all your people to go down." Li Sisi said to Yan Shuer in a bossy manner.

"Listen to Concubine Ying, everyone go down." Yan Shuer said as she sat down.

"Noble Lady Li!" The palace maids and eunuchs all frowned and were extremely hesitant.

"Everyone, go down. If you stay here, how can Concubine Ying have the dignity to apologize and make peace with me? Is that right, Your Majesty?" Yan Shuer teased.

Li Sisi did not respond, but just smiled, picked up the cup and drank the warm tea in one gulp.

Seeing that Concubine Ying seemed to agree with Concubine Li's words, the palace servants put their worries aside and retreated, standing guard outside the door.

The door to the main hall was wide open, with palace maids and eunuchs standing on both sides.

From where they were standing, they could clearly see every move of the people in the hall, but they could not hear normal conversations.

"You are quite brave."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I know that you have been grieving for your deceased child. It has been four years since the child passed away. Did you give the poor child a nickname?"

"As expected, you were the one who passed that news to me on purpose."

Yan Shuer just smiled and continued:

"I still remember that Concubine Yi's second prince, Prince Zhaohui, was born in the same year as Concubine Ying's child. Prince Zhaohui has a title, status, and seniority, and enjoys royal sacrifices.

As for your child, there was nothing left. He was just wrapped in silk and buried quietly. Would you burn paper money for that clean child during festivals? The concubines who entered the palace later didn't even know that you had given birth. Do you hate it?"

"The Concubine Ying must be extremely angry about this, because her child is a deformed one, neither male nor female. If we were to rank them according to their teeth, would they be ranked with the prince or the princess?"

"Yan Shuer!"

Li Sisi was so angry that she overturned everything on the table. Fruits, snacks, and tea fell to the ground, and the porcelain pieces of the containers shattered all over the floor.

The palace maids and eunuchs rushed in.

"Don't worry, madam. Someone come and clean these up. Once that's done, everyone can leave.

Wait a moment, have a few more people go to my bedroom and bring over those plates of small milk cakes and tea trays on the table.

Concubine Ying was just anxious for a moment, and when she stood up to get some snacks, she accidentally bumped into the table. "

Li Sisi sat down with clenched fists.

The two men sat quietly watching the palace maids and eunuchs pick up the broken pieces of the teapot and teacups as well as the fruits and snacks.

"There's something. Have you used it before? She was able to calmly endure you saying so many hurtful words." Liu Yiren looked at Li Sisi who had calmed down again, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"System products must be top-notch. I bought this in the last world. It's my first time using it. It's a tea-shaped tranquilizer. I drank a little and felt calm and my thoughts were clear. I'll give you some next time."

"Are you thinking clearly? Won't she find out that you are making up lies?"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Sister Liu, ask yourself,

If you didn't have the ability to read minds, and didn't know my true face, and I only hurt Li Sisi, you and Li Sisi have lived together until now, and you accompanied her to question me. Facing my sincere and heartbreaking words, would your thoughts be taken in by me?"

Yan Shuer recalled Concubine Rou, who had been fooled by her before and became her good sister, and said with a smile.

"But I have the ability to read minds!"

“So, information asymmetry is so important.”

Let's not talk about Li Sisicong's stupidity. When Li Sisi was pregnant and gave birth, Yan Shu'er was a concubine who was born as a palace maid and had only been a concubine for a few months. She had no power, no influence, and no education. How could she have the ability to cause Yingpin Li Sisi to give birth to a deformed or stillborn baby? Who knew that she had a system and was not a native of this world? This is the information gap.
