. In their eyes, these two individuals truly lived up to their reputation as members of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion. Look, even their tools were so professional! Victory seemed to already belong to...Originally, the palace maid who led the way was named Yi Mei. Qin Luo Yan now seemed to have realized something. She thought that Yi Mei's suggestion for her to rest at the palace gate was a lie. Her true intention was to deliberately delay time and invite the Empress's punishment.

Upon entering the palace, I immediately witnessed the unpredictable nature of caprice.

Yi Mei went up to Lao Mo Mo and blessed her body, then walked to Qin Luo Yan's face. Without a word, she raised her hand and slapped Qin Luo Yan. Qin Luo Yan was taken aback. She originally wanted to raise her hand to block it, but just as she was about to move, she saw the Empress looking over coolly. She hesitated for a moment, then put her hand down, taking the slap squarely on the face.

“This slap is to teach you to be on time. Remember your place, and don't think that because you're going to become Martial Proclamation King's concubine, you're someone special. Remember this: whether you can smoothly become Martial Proclamation King's concubine depends on how well you follow the rules!”

Laomo stood aside, barking orders and gesturing for Yimei to attack Qin Luoyan again. But this time, the Empress, who had remained silent until now, spoke up.

"Alright, Sun Momo, she just arrived at the palace today. Let's give her a chance." The Empress took a bright red flower and placed it in a vase, barely glancing in Qin Luo Yan's direction.

Shouldn't they give her another chance They already finished beating them up.

Qin Luoyan couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

Sun Momo responded with a nod, then beckoned two palace maids over. She instructed, "Today, our prospective Wangye's concubine will be working in the kitchen with you. You must take good care of her, and make sure she doesn't lose an arm or a leg! If the Wangye asks later, we won't have a good explanation. Also, the Empress wishes to have lotus leaf porridge today. Go to the lotus pond in Yu Garden and gather some lotus leaves."

Two maids responded and dragged Qin Luoyan out. The bag she had been clutching all along fell to the ground. She wanted to pick it up, but Lao Momo kicked the bag aside with one foot. "Miss Qin, you should go to work. This is the palace, not somewhere you can bring anything in. I'll have people throw these things away. The palace has everything you could need, why would you bring things from outside"

Qin Luoyan was so angry her teeth ached. She watched helplessly as a palace maid picked up her bag and carried it away. Although the bag only contained a few simple garments, this feeling was really unpleasant.

When they left the Yonghe Palace, the two palace maids who had been holding Qin Luo'yan’s arms let go. The two palace maids weren't very old, not yet twenty years old, and were still young and innocent. Their expressions weren't as severe as those older ones.

One of them, seeing her indignation, walked alongside her and comforted her, saying: “Miss Qin, don’t be too upset. After all, you'll only be in the palace for a few days. You are the woman of Prince Wu Xuan, even if the Empress doesn’t like you, she wouldn’t go too far to embarrass Prince Wu Xuan. Just bear with it for a few days.”

The pain on her cheeks was all too clear. Qin Luoyan had always been someone who held a grudge and wouldn't let it go easily. Following the two women, she couldn't help but ask, "Two elder sisters, could you please give me some advice Why has the Empress never done anything to offend me, yet she treats me so coldly"

They looked at each other, both hesitant in their eyes. One shook his head at the other, a silent signal to say no more.

"Both elder sisters, just tell me, it's just a few pointers, not like I'm breaking any palace rules, right" Qin Luoyan said as she took down a pair of shaking bells from her head and handed one to each person.

That paperweight was given to her by Fu Zi Mo a few days ago. He said it was made by the most famous craftsman in Fengqi City, who spent a year crafting it. Anything that could catch Fu Zi Mo's eye certainly wouldn't be ordinary. The two palace maids who were still hesitating immediately took a liking to it upon seeing the paperweight.

One person gritted his teeth and said, “Actually, there's nothing much to hide. This isn't really a secret anyway. The Empress doesn't like the young lady because the wife of Prince Wu Xuan calls the Empress sister-in-law.”

Queen Wei Qingfeng is Xiao Changyue's cousin Qin Luoyan was stunned, how come Fu Zimu hadn't told her this news, or was he deliberately avoiding the topic

If that's the case, wouldn't Xiao Shufufu also be a member of the Wei family The Wei family holds military power, while the Xiao family wields civilian authority. Such a marriage alliance, in any dynasty, would pose a significant threat to the emperor, wouldn't it

Qin Luoyan suddenly felt that the circle of Fengqicheng was very small. All powerful families consolidated their power through marriage alliances. No wonder someone like her, who had no backing or background, was considered unworthy of being the concubine of Wuxuan Wang.

She let out a sigh, but her resolve only grew stronger. Since the Wei and Xiao families were on the same side, even if the Empress made things difficult, the Emperor would surely allow her to become a consort of King Wuxuan smoothly. Regardless of anything else, if the enemy achieved their goal in this way, it would also be a success.

No wonder Fu Zimo had said before this, learning what rules are just going through the motions.

In winter, even the lotus pond in the imperial garden had no blooming lotuses. Apart from some wilting leaves, the entire pond seemed desolate and melancholy.

Two palace maids rolled up their trousers and walked into the lotus pond. Qin Luoyan saw this and had no choice but to roll up her trousers and walk into the lotus pond as well.

However, as soon as she took a step forward, the icy pond water froze her to the bone. Looking at the two maids, they were also gritting their teeth and walking into the lotus pond, searching for some tender lotus leaves in it.

Qin Luoyan sighed and bent down to search, but after only a short while, her legs were numb from the cold, and all she found in her hand was a lotus leaf the size of her palm.

As time was getting late, the three of them, though their lips were purple from the cold, dared not delay their rest any longer. They could only grit their teeth and continue searching.

One person endures hardship, it is painful. But with three people, the pain is lessened.

At that time, Qin Luoyan thought she could still hold on. However, when a group of people appeared by the lotus pond, she turned her head to look at the person at the front. She couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her nose and an urge to cry out of grievance.

By the lotus pond, Fu Zi Mo and his companions had just come out of the Imperial Study. Hearing that the Emperor had acquired a new batch of ferocious beasts at the beast enclosure, they went to have a look with several colleagues. Who knew that as soon as they arrived, they witnessed this scene before their eyes.

He frowned, ignoring the surprised glances of those around him. With a light tap of his toes, he landed on several lotus leaves, swiftly arriving before Qin Luoyan. He then reached out and pulled her from the pond.

Qin Luo yan only felt a dizziness in front of her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already by the lotus pond.
