Chapter 88 Backing off
On weekdays, when the concubines came to the Pepper Palace to pay their respects to the Queen, they would basically arrive early and wait for the Queen in the palace, except for one person.
Today, Yingpin Li Sisi was once again the last person to arrive. She was alone and often arrived late until the Queen had already taken her seat.
Since entering the palace, the first person Shen Ningyue inquired about was Meng Wuyue, who previously held the Phoenix Seal and managed the harem, and the second was Yingpin Li Sisi.
Li Sisi was too prominent, and her attitude was even higher than Meng Wuyue, who was in charge of the harem. Meng Wuyue was extremely respectful to her, the queen, and her attitude was very correct. She did not claim to have experience in managing a harem, and she did not show off or give instructions in front of Shen Ningyue.
At first, Shen Ningyue thought that Li Sisi was deliberately targeting her, or was receiving instructions from someone to secretly vent her dissatisfaction with her as the queen. Later, Shen Ningyue realized that Li Sisi was stupid and pathetic, and there was no need to bother with her.
Li Sisi, wearing a plain-colored long embroidered dress, walked into the hall with light steps and her head held high.
She glanced at the new face indifferently, then looked away, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of contemptuous smile.
Lu Liniang has been living in Ci'an Palace for three days, and everyone knows it.
"Why are you all here so early today? Are there any monkey shows to watch? I greet Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."
Yingpin Li Sisi bowed gracefully, and after being called, she did not sit down at her seat as usual.
She stood four or five steps in front of Lu Liniang, looking at her intently, examining her from head to toe.
"Are you Zhenpin's sister? The widow who fainted in the palace on the day of Crown Prince Zhaohui's funeral? Today is the day for all the concubines to pay their respects to the Empress, why are you here to join in the fun?
I really don't understand the rules.
Do you also want to enter the palace and share a husband with your sister?" Li Sisi mocked mercilessly.
"Greetings, Concubine Ying. May you be healthy and happy." Lu Liniang rolled her eyes in her heart, she stood up and saluted with a smile.
"You are really shameless." Li Sisi sneered.
"I haven't prepared any special gifts, Banxia, please take a look." She took off the white jade bracelet on her wrist and handed it to Banxia behind her, raising her chin slightly.
Banxia held the bracelet in her handkerchief and came to Lv Li Niang and said, "Miss Lv Er, this is a reward from our queen. I hope you don't dislike it."
Lu Li Niang put the bracelet on her wrist quickly and said, "How dare I? Thank you, Lady Yingpin, for the reward."
Li Sisi turned around and sat back in her seat, without even looking at the concubines in the palace. She lowered her head and drank tea coldly.
The only concubines who came to pay their respects today were Concubine Zhen Lü Xinyin, Beauty Zhi Fu Mengli, Beauty Jiang Lanzhi, Shi Qingzhang, the eldest prince's beloved, and Yan Shuer, who climbed to the position of concubine but was demoted to beloved because of a frame-up she committed.
Yan Shuer lowered her head and fiddled with her nails, looking as if she didn't care about anything.
Imperial Concubine Yi, Meng Wuyue, is still in confinement after giving birth and has not been able to get up yet.
The beautiful lady Meng Xinghe and the newly promoted talent Li Xihua were both pregnant and were afraid of a conflict with the previous funeral ceremony.
One asked to be locked up in the palace, while the other was locked up by her. Without Qin Zhi's order, they could not step out of their respective palaces.
When Li Sisi was paying her respects to the queen, Lu Liniang secretly glanced at the concubines present.
She could only say that there were three thousand women in the harem, all of them were beauties of different styles. She also loved collecting stamps, and she thought Qin Zhi’s selection of concubines was something that made her itchy.
She didn't feel offended by Yingpin Li Sisi's blunt insinuations. With that level of attack power, it wasn't even enough to tickle her.
Also, she has good eyesight and is very straightforward. She, Lu Liniang, does have the idea of entering the palace.
Seeing that his temper is like that of a firecracker, he is designed to be a cannon fodder, okay?
As a time-traveling heroine, she would not bother with an obviously stupid cannon fodder.
She felt that the most annoying person here was Yan Shuer. She was very unpleasant to look at and they looked similar.
Lu Li'niang suddenly didn't want to enter the palace anymore. She thought that doing business outside would be a big deal. Isn't it better?
Being the richest woman in Dayong, being the widow of Dayong, isn’t she attractive?
She is a time-traveling woman from a modern and progressive society. Why should she share a man with a group of women? What's wrong with being an emperor? We've seen it many times in TV dramas.
