Chapter 10, Yafeng is injured

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. How is Wei Lan doing?" Ling Yafeng still insisted on greeting while being attended by the palace maid. Faced with Ling Yafeng, who showed no signs of arrogance despite her illness, Fu Luoxin felt a slight heaviness in her heart; it seemed that she was yet another enigma to decipher

Understood, let the palace change into another outfit

What is wrong with my sister's body

The next day, Fuluo was surprised to find that the noble Consort Yu had actually come to visit her at the Lotus Pavilion, lowering herself to do so. After the selfless punishment from the previous day, Fuluo found it somewhat difficult to adjust.

Then, what about the dance performance next month

Sister, you are injured and do not need to stand on ceremony. I have merely come to check on your condition; you have suffered a grievance. If you need anything, feel free to instruct the aunts here. Take good care of your injury.

"How do you fold this?" Flor also did not expect that the first question she asked would be this, rather than something like, "Is it serious? Hurry and call the imperial physician!" It seems that she too has been numbed by this palace filled with schemes.

At the same time, Ling Yafeng of the Ti Yuan Hall was smiling, amused by Fu Luo's beauty without brains. As long as she herself could become the emperor's most favored person, the current consorts would merely be fleeting memories. From the very first moment she saw the emperor in disguise during his inspection tour at home, she had been striving to become his wife

The reason I summoned you this time is also regarding the matters of Lady Ling and Lady Wei. Such a scandal has occurred in just a few days. How have you been managing the training of the talented young ladies, Concubine Fu

I am aware of the matters that Li Mama has committed, but after all, she is an old matron of the palace and a benefactor of the Crown Prince, holding the rank of a正八品 (Zheng Ba Pin) supervisor. To dismiss her like this seems a bit excessive, does it not? If the Emperor inquires about it, how shall I respond?

"A mistake is a mistake; there is no need to use your body as an excuse. Go and copy the "Lessons for Women" ten times to cultivate your character." The noble consort was so angry that her eyes widened.

Princess, if anything happens to those talented ladies, the higher authorities will hold you, the one responsible for their etiquette training, accountable

"Why do you say it is not good?" Fu Luo felt that this was merely a struggle among the concubines in the harem, and it had nothing to do with her

Flora rose and entered the inner chamber, where Biye and Biwu were about to apply powder and shape her eyebrows, but she stopped them.

Yes. "Frolo felt very wronged and resigned.

I have already punished her; such a person who competes for favor and harms others has also been reported to the noble consort, and she has been demoted to a palace maid. Fu Luo personally helped Ling Yafeng to her feet

I have not been well these past few days and have not been able to visit the Taiyuan Hall. I did not expect this incident to occur, and I ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness. I am young and inexperienced, and I hope that Your Majesty can send someone to assist me.

"This humble servant pays her respects to Your Highness, the Noble Consort." As she crouched down and stood up, she deliberately swayed her body. Biwu quickly stepped forward to assist her, and Fuluo glanced at her, thinking to herself that she truly is a clever and perceptive girl

Fro's heart suddenly tightened, and she hurriedly touched her neck. Fortunately, her head was still there; she feared that in the future, when she touched it, her head might not be on her neck. In this palace where killing was as easy as stepping on ants, whenever she heard something amiss, Fro suspected that the emperor intended to kill her. She did not understand why she always had that kind of illusion, constantly feeling as if the emperor was going to kill her.

Flora took a deep breath and said, "Alright, from now on, as long as it is not the Emperor who says he wants to behead me, you need not be so flustered; you nearly scared me to death."

"This palace saw you being punished by the stick, Li Mama, and your body seems to be quite well now," said the noble Consort Yu coldly.

Well then

Nowadays, one can only pretend to be unwell in order to deal with Consort Yu. Although it may not be absolutely necessary, Fu Luo does not wish to give anyone an excuse. Even if Consort Yu, out of sisterly affection, does not want to punish her, it is likely that other consorts will incite trouble, making it difficult for her to escape punishment. However, the greatest fear is that the Emperor might use this as a pretext in the future

A few days ago, I caught a cold, but it is nothing serious

It is said that Lady Wei pushed Lady Ling, causing Lady Ling to fall down the steps

Fu Luo smiled and said, "A person like her will eventually be favored by the Emperor; it is merely a matter of time. I do not wish to reject her and have her harbor resentment towards me."

Sister Yafeng, your heart is truly kind, but such individuals must never be tolerated in the palace. Take good care of your health, and do not worry about other matters.

Ling Yafeng, upon seeing Fu Luo's arrival, immediately struggled to rise and pay his respects.

The servant deserves to die

"Your Highness, the Noble Consort requests your presence at the Qingtong Pavilion." Upon hearing this, Noble Consort Yu promptly sent someone to summon Fu Luo.

I also feel quite regretful

Do not take it to heart, Princess; it is only because the Noble Consort is considering the feelings of the Virtuous Consort that you are not being punished

"Don't die, no one should die. Tell me, what happened to her?"

Sister Wei Lan is inexperienced and momentarily confused, could the Empress please...

After leaving the Ti Yuan Hall, Bi Wu softly said, "Why did Your Highness agree to Ling Xiaozhu? I have heard that she excels in all arts, including qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting since childhood. This is likely to be..."

The Tiao Feng dance is a auspicious dance meant to bless our dynasty with eternal prosperity. I, as a humble servant, also wish to contribute to it. Your Highness, please allow Ya Feng to play the zither and accompany the talented ladies in the background, which can be considered a small token of my sincerity

Thank you, Your Highness, the Noble Consort. Even after being punished, one must still smile and express gratitude. Being of a lower rank is indeed a form of helplessness, which is why everyone aspires to rise and become the Empress who holds the power in the imperial harem

Fei Fei, why are you not quickly thanking Sister Xian Fei for pleading on your behalf? As it stands, you shall be punished for half a year. It is time for you to change your temperament, as the Emperor's punishment reflects poorly even on me.

Would this be too unfair to my sister

Flora did not respond, unsure of what to say. The noble Consort Lan is also present, making it seem that today truly has the flavor of a banquet of intrigue.

Princess, that Ling Xiaozhu has encountered an incident

Fu Luo could only admire Lan Fei in her heart. With just a few words, she distanced herself from that deceitful Li Mama and even pleaded for herself. No wonder everyone in the palace praised her as the best person. Unfortunately, Fu Luo had read too many novels and simply did not want to believe that there were good people in the palace

Body Element Hall

If today were to encounter other masters, they might think that playing the zither behind the scenes has nothing to attract the Emperor and does not pose any threat, and they would likely not refuse it

Ling Xiaozhu has fractured her leg

"Princess, something is wrong!" Biye shouted as she rushed in.

Sister Xianfei, how do you think she should be punished? After all, Mama Li is the wet nurse of the Crown Prince, someone who comes from your palace

"Biyue, could you make my face a bit paler? Biwu, just casually tie up a bun, nothing too neat, preferably with a hint of slight disarray." Both girls were quite perceptive; upon hearing this, how could they not understand Fu Luo's intentions

Is it serious

The imperial physician said that it is merely a broken leg, and it is feared that a rest of one to two months will be required for recovery

Dressed in plain garments, the ailing Fu Luo approached the presence of the noble Consort Yu.

No, Yafeng is content as long as he can contribute to the auspicious dance.

After Li Mama became the head steward, she was no longer a member of Xiangyun Palace, and I, as a concubine, could no longer manage her; everything was at the discretion of Her Highness. However, this time she truly went too far, daring to hit and scold the newly arrived young mistresses. I believe that although Sister Fu Fei was somewhat impulsive, her actions were understandable, and I hope Your Highness can be lenient towards Sister Fu Fei.

Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives

Flora expressed a hint of surprise at Biye's flattering words towards the Jade Concubine, but upon reflection, she realized it was also a means of comforting herself, so she did not take it to heart

Your Majesty's admonition is indeed correct; it is this humble servant who has been too impulsive. This humble servant willingly accepts the punishment
