On ordinary days, it was quite peaceful, so it seemed that getting along wouldn’t be too difficult. However, after meeting Fang Pin, those thoughts were quickly reined in.
Yun Zhi Yue had seen Consort Fang. Sitting at the head of the table, she covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief, wearing a mocking expression. It was evident that she came from a humble background, unable to even grasp the proper etiquette. In the presence of a consort, those beneath her rank should refer to themselves as "this humble servant." Was this greeting merely an attempt to flaunt a pretty name before This Palace?
Yun Zhi Yue smiled brightly, "Does Your Highness think it sounds nice? I believe so too; thank you for your kind words."
"Hey? Who told you to come over? How dare you!"
In the harem, many noblewomen were present. Fang Pin had always been a target for bullying; now that someone was finally picking on her, it was time to establish some rules.
Just as she uttered a single word, this person rushed over. What did she intend to do? Was she plotting against her? Seeing Fang Pin flustered and hiding behind a maidservant, Yun Zhi Yue couldn’t help but chuckle. With such little courage, she thought she could challenge her? Not even close.
Yun Zhi Yue stepped forward and clung to Fang Pin’s arm, rubbing against her affectionately. "Good sister, I’ve been so nervous since entering the palace. Seeing you makes me so happy! We must have been sisters in our past lives; how else could we be so compatible? Come on, let me give you a hug!"
Fang Pin looked at Yun Zhi Yue with disgust. She hadn’t expected someone with such a twisted mind to talk about sisterhood in the depths of the palace. Didn’t she know that in the harem, sisters were often there to betray one another?
Never mind; seeing her like this, she wouldn’t last long anyway. There was no need for her to take action against Yun Zhi Yue. Finding an excuse to send her away, Fang Pin returned to her room to continue embroidering and pass the time.
After some fussing around, she finally entered her own side chamber. There was only one maidservant attending to her—there was no grandeur here at all. The room's decor was exquisite but still considered simple in this lavish palace.
Yun Zhi Yue sat on the soft couch, contemplating her next steps. The maidservant brought over tea; she casually accepted it and brought it to her lips, her eyes flickering for just a moment.
Not revealing any unusual reaction, she drank the tea down. The maidservant quickly took the cup back and asked, "Little Master, would you like more?"
Yun Zhi Yue shook her head and dismissed the maidservant. Lying back on the bed, she soon felt a sharp pain in her abdomen as Kui Shui arrived early.
With a delicate face twisted into a cold smile, it was clear that these tricks were meant to prevent her from gaining favor quickly.
However, it was also a good thing, after all, the bird that stands out gets shot. At this moment, Bai Luobai's feelings were cast aside. When she saw the Emperor exchanging glances with her, Luo Bai probably thought she was deliberately trying to seduce him to gain favor quickly, considering her foolish.
After Kui Shui arrived, she had to notify the Respectful Affairs Office and put up a notice. Yun Zhi Yue lay quietly without moving. It wasn't until a eunuch from the Respectful Affairs Office came to say that she was to serve the Emperor at night that she finally got up to tidy herself and went to meet Fang Pin.
"Sister, Yun Zhi Yue must have been tampered with; this date from Kui Shui is completely wrong." Yun Zhi Yue cried softly, while Fang Pin looked on with a cold smile. Such tactics were common in the palace and had nothing to do with her.
With a tone that was neither warm nor cold, Fang Pin said, "Since you came during Kui Shui, you certainly cannot serve the Emperor and tarnish his reputation. Hurry and clarify things with the Respectful Affairs Office; don't drag down Qionghua Palace's standing."
Yun Zhi Yue continued to cry, "Sister Fang Pin, how glorious it is to gain favor right after entering the palace! I don't want to miss this opportunity."
"Should we wait for the Emperor to arrive before discussing it? If it really comes down to it, you can also take my place in gaining favor; it's better than letting someone else benefit."
Fang Pin initially wanted to watch the spectacle, but after Yun Zhi Yue spoke those words, her palm clenched tightly. It had been over a year since she had been favored; if she could seize this opportunity...
