Upon Yu Yao's arrival at Fengyi Palace, many people had already come.
After the concubines' first night in the imperial bedchamber, they must pay respects to the queen.
There are quite a few people in this hall, sitting in two rows. I can roughly count that there are more than a dozen people who have come here so far.
This was also her first direct encounter with night North's palace.
Each one is a magnificent beauty, with a thousand attractions and unique characteristics.
What a fortunate thing.
She needs to bow to the queen, the gentle concubine, the virtuous concubine and the virtuous concubine.
The rest do not need to bow.
As fellow concubines, they can only perform a simple bow.
Yu Yao pays respects to those with higher ranks.
After sitting down, to her side was Wan Fei.
Wan Fei is well-known for her good personality and never causes trouble for others.
Even when seeing Yu Yao, the woman who has monopolized the Emperor's attention for half a month, she can still give a smile.
The smile is a bit forced.
Yu Yao has been serving the emperor nightly for over a month.
Since her ascension to the position of concubine, Li Beichen has not visited any other palace.
Even the gentle concubine, who had been left alone in her palace for half a month, couldn't manage to pull him out of the Imperial Study.
This shows that Li Beichen really doesn't like her anymore.
The first concubine on the left is the gentle concubine.
Today, she showed up, sitting there looking like a withered eggplant after a frost, with watery eyes.
It's unclear if she can't bear the blow of losing favor, or if she was bullied by everyone.
When she was favored, she was arrogant and did whatever she wanted in the palace. She offended a lot of people.
After losing favor, everyone steps on her. It's an ordinary thing.
Yu Yao came to help the gentle concubine, and the focus wasn't as concentrated.
The plum concubine never takes care of anything.
The virtuous concubine is immersed in her sorrow for the Crown Prince, and in the palace, she is like a ghost, rarely speaking and always in seclusion.
The virtuous concubine has the most arrogant demeanor. She argues with anyone and everyone in the palace, and whenever she sees someone she doesn't like, she argues with them.
Seeing Yu Yao now, she rolls her eyes all the way to heaven, like a seizure.
"Oh my, virtuous concubine sister, if you have an eye problem, why don't you go see a royal physician?"
Yu Yao doesn't indulge her, and directly responds with disdain.
The virtuous concubine's face stiffened, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "My eyes are fine. I don't need a royal physician."
This woman, who wants to remove her green signboard when she has the chance, is truly despicable.
"If the virtuous concubine sister's eyes are fine, then why keep rolling them? Is it that you have a grudge against me, and can't stand to look at me?"
Yu Yao didn't let her off the hook and continued to mock her.
In this palace, no matter how bad their private relationship is, they still call each other sister on the surface.
The virtuous concubine's face turned ashen, her chest rising and falling rapidly, but she forgot to refute Yu Yao.
She didn't know how to respond, so she turned her face away and chose to ignore it.
Seeing the palace concubines unable to respond to Yu Fei, those who were originally planning to confront her also retreated.
Not to mention them.
The queen was seated in the inner chamber, leisurely sipping tea.
Ruo Nan bent over and whispered in the queen's ear, "Your Majesty, I have already added the barrenness drug to Yu Fei's tea. Once she drinks it, she will never be able to conceive again."
The queen smiled satisfaction, "You did a great job."
On the other side, soon there were palace maids from Fengyi Palace who served tea to all the concubines present.
Yu Yao naturally had some too, looking at the tea in front of her that had been dosed.
Internally, she clicked her tongue twice: "The queen really values her, even on the first day of paying respects, she gave her a big gift."
The tea she smelled knew something was wrong.
Although she didn't know what had been added, it was definitely not something good.
Knowing that there is a problem with the tea, Yu Yao naturally wouldn't drink it.
The queen, seated in the inner chamber, soon received the news that Yu Fei did not drink her tea.
"This slut is incredibly alert!"
The queen was so angry that she threw the bowl of tea on the ground, and her face was very unwell.
But Yu Fei does not drink tea, how can she directly find someone to force it down her throat?
"Alright, let's go out."
The queen saw that the time for the morning greeting had arrived, and it was not good to sit in there all day, so she walked out leisurely.
After everyone had paid their respects.
The queen looked at Yu Yao and smiled, "Fei sister Yu's leg has recovered, hasn't it? Shall we ask the royal physician to take a look again?"
"These people are all very picky, just kneeling and avoiding the morning greetings for over a week."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My leg is already healed."
Yu Yao replied with a smile.
"That's good!" The queen smiled again.
The queen casually glanced at Yu Yao's tea and asked with a smile, "The empress sees that the sister has not drunk any tea. Is this tea not to the sister's taste?"
Yu Yao secretly rolled her eyes and thought to herself: "Finally, here comes the confrontation."
But on the surface, she was smiling and respectful: "Your servant does not like to drink tea."
The queen gritted her teeth inwardly and maintained a dignified expression on her face: "Then the empress will give a cup of boiled water to sister Yu?"
Yu Yao's smile became stiff; the change would still be dosed, but she said with her mouth, "Your servant is not thirsty."
The queen secretly cursed the bitch, and turned her attention to the gentle concubine, "The empress sees that the graceful concubine's sister has a pale face, is it because of illness? Shall we send for a royal physician to take a look?"
"No, the sister just didn't sleep well last night."
The gentle concubine replied with a stiff face.
Originally, it was already hard to see the Crown Prince. This old woman still wants to find an opportunity to remove her green headboard, thinking it's beautiful.
The queen saw that the gentle concubine was not taking the bait, so she did not bother to play mind games with her. After expressing her concern, she no longer looked at her on the surface.
Until all the concubines who came to pay their respects had been cared for.
The queen said a few more words about the harmony of the court, and everyone was dismissed to return to their quarters.
As soon as Yu Yao stepped out of Fengyi Palace, she was blocked by the gentle concubine.
Before she could speak, the gentle concubine, tears glistening in her eyes, pleaded with her, "Fei sister Yu, I truly miss Crown Prince Chen. I cannot lose him. Would you give him back to me?"
Yu Yao's eyebrows jumped.
Give it back? How can she give it back? Li Beichen is the emperor, not just hers.
In her heart, she knew that this woman was trying to play tricks on her again.
If she really agreed, it would mean that she doesn't care about Li Beichen.
If it gets to Li Beichen's ears, she will be out of favor, and her favorability may drop sharply.
If she doesn't agree, the gentle concubine can also establish an image of a loyal woman.
With so many people coming and going at the entrance of Fengyi Palace, it's inevitable that the conversation will eventually reach Li Beichen's ears.
Even if Li Beichen no longer likes the gentle concubine, considering her deep affection, he will soften his heart to some degree.
Then he will go to the Yongfu Palace to see her.
In short, either agreeing or disagreeing is not right.
"Acting deep who can't, act green tea, who can't?"
She tightly squeezed her own thigh, and tears sprung out instantly, her emotions overflowing as she said, "As a sister, you can't be without the emperor. How long have I secretly liked the emperor?"
"Ever since I saw the emperor's first glance, I was attracted to his magnificent and extraordinary aura. I yearned for the emperor to notice me, to look at me more..."
"I have finally become the emperor's woman and have only received a few days of favor, and now you want me to give him back to you. No, I can't, I mustn't. Without the emperor, my heart will ache and I will die..."
She went on to say things that were more and more ridiculous, and more and more gross, saying things that even made her want to vomit.
It was unclear whether it was a psychological effect or if she was actually pregnant and feeling sick.
She really felt like vomiting...
But at this moment, it was really not suitable to vomit. She could only desperately suppress it.
The expression on her face, as seen by others, became one of extreme suffering that she couldn't bear the loss of the emperor.
This also made everyone realize that Yu Fei was actually so in love with the emperor.
There were many women in the palace who loved the emperor, but most of them loved the power and glory given by him.
There aren't many who love him as genuinely and purely as Yu Fei does.
Particularly, Yu Fei's love for the emperor is so intense that she could die without him.
Such deep affection, who in the entire palace can compare?
The gentle concubine was completely taken aback, staring at her with wide eyes, forgetting to shed tears even.
This bitch is how she stole her own script!
Shouldn't these words be said by herself?
Now that this slut has said it, what is there left for herself to say?
