Hearing this, Yan Zhihua just let out a careless laugh. With a disdainful look in her eyes, she looked into Tang Youyou's eyes and shook her head.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you're a smart person. But you've got other things on your mind. Sometimes, getting rid of unnecessary constraints will make your life less like walking on a knife's edge and struggling at every step."
After saying that, she left with the maidservant beside her.
Qingyu, who was accompanying Tang Youyou, was surprised. She didn't know there was such a ruthless person in the harem.
After the people left, Tang Youyou also laughed.
Yan Zhihua was a ruthless person capable of great deeds.
"Qingyu, stop pacing around. Prepare the entourage. We're going to Xianfu Palace."
Tang Youyou's words made the servants turn pale.
Kang Fuhai said worriedly, "Your Majesty the Queen, your noble body can't go to Xianfu Palace in person. It's against the rules."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou smiled slightly. She just wanted to make the others lower their guard.
"What rules? Rules are set by the dead, but people are alive. I am the rule!"
After she said that, the servants fell silent.
Not long after, they arrived at Xianfu Palace. It was noon at the moment, and most concubines were taking their naps.
Tang Youyou glanced at Kang Fuhai beside her. The next moment, he pitched his voice high and shouted, "Her Majesty the Queen is here!"
As the voice fell, the gates of the two palaces opened immediately. Su Nian'e and Wen Ruxue both stepped out. Seeing Tang Youyou, Su Nian'e was completely infuriated.
How could there be such a shameless person who came specifically to the gates of others' palaces to provoke them? She was just too shameless.
On the other hand, Wen Ruxue was very calm at the moment, as if she and Tang Youyou were sisters. She flattered with a smile, "Your Majesty the Queen, why have you come to Xianfu Palace? Your servants are so terrified."
Terrified my ass. With her hypocritical look, in the previous world, Tang Youyou could have beaten ten of her kind. But now in the palace, there were so many rules and regulations that she couldn't even touch her.
"I just came to visit my sisters. You are all old acquaintances in the palace. Just now, I saw Concubine Ning in the Summer Palace."
At the mention of Concubine Ning, a cold look flashed in the eyes of the two women. It seemed that Concubine Ning had suddenly appeared in the palace. No wonder these two jealous women were envious.
"Concubine Ning has been unwell. I'm afraid she might infect me with a cough, so she hasn't come to pay her respects."
At this point, Tang Youyou stopped talking. Her intention was obvious. She just wanted to watch these two women play off each other.
Wen Ruxue spoke first, "Your Majesty the Queen, when you were not in the palace a few days ago, we had nowhere to find you. Now that you've just returned, if we come to you at this time, we're afraid we might disturb your peace."
Look, she had all the nice things to say. Even Qingyu was getting impatient. She immediately retorted, "Both Noble Lady Su and Concubine Wen are concubines in the harem. How can they decide for the Queen? The Queen hasn't said much yet, but you're speculating about her. What's your crime?"
Qingyu's sharp tongue left the two women speechless. Such a big accusation was placed on their heads, making them feel suffocated.
Tang Youyou also silently gave her a thumbs - up in her heart.
However, she didn't come here this time to make these two women feel uncomfortable. Instead, she was going to be kind - hearted and offer some free advice to Concubine Wen.
She looked at Wen Ruxue in front of her and smiled generously, "Qingyu, stop talking. I came here today just to discuss something with Concubine Wen. I'm not here to blame anyone. I believe that in the future, all the sisters in the harem will pay attention to this."
Seeing Tang Youyou's tactic of hitting them with a stick and then offering them a sweet date, everyone fell silent.
Su Nian'e just glanced at Wen Ruxue beside her and returned to her own palace indifferently. Wen Ruxue also hypocritically welcomed Tang Youyou into her palace.
Her palace was not as luxurious as Tang Youyou's, but although it was small, it had all the necessary facilities. Generally speaking, it was okay.
If Wen Ruxue heard this, she would surely vomit blood in anger. This was a scaled - down version of the Cool Palace that she had spent all her valuable belongings to build. But in Tang Youyou's eyes, it was so shabby.
Wen Ruxue led her into the palace and said respectfully, "Your Majesty the Queen, please take the seat of honor. I've already ordered someone to make tea. The newly - offered West Lake Longjing tastes good. Please don't despise my humble palace."
Tang Youyou smiled and said, "Of course not. Sister's palace is very beautiful."
Hearing this, Wen Ruxue's strange expression returned to normal. She was naturally happy to hear a compliment from Tang Youyou.
However, she didn't like to hide things in her heart. She casually handed the tea to Tang Youyou and directly asked, "Your Majesty the Queen, what do you want to discuss with me when you come here?"
Tang Youyou gave a mischievous smile. She looked at Wen Ruxue interestingly and then showed a worried look, "Now, none of the sisters in the palace is up to the mark. None of them is pregnant. The matter of the imperial heir is of great importance. I really don't know what to do if this continues."
Hearing Tang Youyou's words, Wen Ruxue almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What did she mean by saying they were not up to the mark? Without the emperor's favor, how could they get pregnant? This was not being up to the mark; this was courting death!
But the next moment, Tang Youyou spoke again, "So I just want to pass on some experience to you, the experience of pleasing the emperor. I hope you can also be more up to the mark and give the emperor more imperial heirs."
Hearing this, Wen Ruxue felt that Tang Youyou must have some ulterior motives. She was slightly stunned and then forced a smile, "Your Majesty the Queen, what are you talking about? I'm just a woman. How could I understand such things?"
Seeing that this woman was still shirking, Tang Youyou pressed on, "It's precisely because we're women that we should take good care of our husbands. The emperor is busy every day and must be very tired. But have you ever thought about why the emperor only favors me?"
Hearing this, Wen Ruxue subconsciously shook her head. How could she know Rong Xun's thoughts? Since ancient times, the emperor's mind was the most difficult to fathom. Moreover, speculating about the emperor's will was a serious crime. She couldn't even think about it, let alone say it.
But Tang Youyou still rambled on. Seeing Wen Ruxue wavering slightly, she spoke again, "It's because I have something that you don't have."
Wen Ruxue looked at her curiously, waiting for her next words.
"That is, I like to be willful and do whatever I want freely. In short, I'm a bit of a diva."
