Chapter 372: The Concubine Who Was Buried with the Emperor VS The Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 20
When the group arrived at Fengyi Palace, many concubines had already arrived. In fact, there was still a quarter of an hour before the time for paying respects, so it was not too late.

It’s just that these concubines arrived earlier.

When Yu Yao entered the palace, she didn't recognize anyone except Miao Cairen who had arrived early.

She would follow suit and bow to whoever Concubine Zhuang bowed to.

The same was true for Shu Meiren and others who followed.

The queen hasn't come out yet, and the first seat on the left is empty.

Based on Yu Yao's understanding of the current situation in the harem, that should be the position of Concubine Yu.

Sitting in the second seat was Concubine Shu, who had a gentle face, eyebrows as dark as distant ink, eyes as clear as autumn water, her hair tied into a dignified bun, decorated with mainly elegant colors, and dressed in a light blue palace dress.

She has a gentle personality and looks very peaceful.

The first one on the right is Concubine Li, who is extremely beautiful, with charming phoenix eyes, slightly raised eyebrows, a touch of charm, and lips painted with bright red lip balm, which makes her particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

The beauty is flamboyant and passionate.

Zhenfei's face was as delicate as a lotus, her eyebrows were as thin as willow leaves, her eyes seemed to contain deep affection, and her tenderness was as gentle as water, which made people involuntarily attracted to her.

Concubine Rong was graceful and elegant, as beautiful as a beautiful flower in the world.

Concubine Chun had clear eyes and was dressed in a moon-white palace dress. She looked clean and pure, and she lived up to her title of "Pure".

Concubine Yue is as beautiful as a fairy, with curved eyebrows and a cool and elegant temperament.

The other concubines were also beautiful in their own ways and had their own unique styles.

Everyone's eyes were on Yu Yao, and they looked at her intentionally or unintentionally. When they saw her appearance clearly, they were all shocked.

Although I had heard that Concubine Qin was very beautiful, I never imagined that she would be so beautiful.

Even though she was dressed very modestly, it was difficult to conceal Concubine Qin's stunning beauty, which outshone all the concubines present.

Concubine Li and Concubine Zhen looked extremely unhappy.

As soon as Concubine Zhuang sat down in her seat, Concubine Li couldn't help but start the attack.

"This noble lady Qin is dressed in a really unique style, with this hanging bun and this dark green dress. Could it be that she is still thinking about the shabby days when she was a palace maid and is deliberately dressed like this?"

This noble lady Qin is simply not worthy of being on the stage. Even if she becomes a palace concubine, she cannot change her petty bad habits. She is extremely disdainful in her heart.

As soon as she said this, there were a few sneers in the hall, and everyone's expressions were secretly directed at Yu Yao, waiting to see the show.

Shu Meiren, Liu Baolin, Qian Changzai and Zhou Da Ying remained silent and quietly retreated to their seats.

However, there were no seats, so we had to stand, and we were at the very back, almost close to the door.

Only Shu Meiren was positioned slightly forward.

Yu Yao dressed like this on purpose, so she naturally didn't care about people's ridicule.

She looked at Concubine Li and retorted sarcastically, "My lady, you are so concerned about my dressing. I thought you were the dress nanny in the palace. It turns out you are not. You should worry more about your own affairs."

She has never been one to suffer a loss, not even if she suffers a loss verbally.

Concubine Li was so angry that she was shaking all over, and her charming and beautiful face was distorted with anger.

She pointed at Yu Yao and said angrily, "You really don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. I am reminding you not to lose face in this palace, but you are so ignorant and dare to talk back at me. Look at how shabby you are, like a pheasant mixed in with a group of phoenixes."

As soon as Concubine Li finished speaking, a burst of sneers was heard again in the palace.

Lady Liu walked to Concubine Li with lotus steps and said in a tender voice, "What Concubine Li said is absolutely right. Lady Qin, look at all the sisters in the palace, all of them are dressed up carefully, but you look like this, are you deliberately trying to be different and attract the emperor's attention? But this method is a bit mean."

Yu Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of doubt and disdain in her eyes, and she looked up and down at Lady Liu.

She said slowly, "Sister, I don't seem to know you, but you are so eager to accuse me. Is it your way to survive in this palace by casually agreeing with others and slandering others? Or do you want to use the prestige of Concubine Li to show your presence?"

Lady Liu's face froze, and she said angrily, "You don't know me, but I know you, the ignorant lady Qin. I'm helping Lady Li to advise you, but you are so ungrateful."

She smiled lightly, her laughter full of sarcasm: "You keep saying that I don't know etiquette, then you help Concubine Li to slander me without knowing right from wrong. Is this what you call etiquette? I just dress according to my own wishes, and this is considered a mean trick? In my opinion, your behavior of having no opinions of your own and only knowing how to rely on others is even more despicable."

Lady Liu blushed at Yu Yao's words. She was about to retort, but Yu Yao didn't give her a chance and continued:

"You said that all the sisters in the palace are dressed up carefully, so what? Is my unique style an eyesore to you? Or are you only able to accept the same gorgeousness and cannot tolerate a little bit of unique beauty?"

The concubines present were shocked by Concubine Qin's eloquence. They did not expect Concubine Qin to be so eloquent that she could refute Concubine Liu speechless.

Concubine Li pointed at Yu Yao, her lips trembling with anger, and it took her a long time to utter, "You...you sharp-tongued little hoof!"

Concubine Shu sighed softly, and her gentle voice rang out in the palace: "Alright, alright, we are all sisters, stop arguing. In this Fengyi Palace, we should live in harmony."

Yu Yao bowed slightly and said calmly, "My Lady Shufei, I didn't mean to start a dispute. It's just that some people are being aggressive, and I can't bear the injustice for nothing." Shufei nodded slightly and said, "I understand, but it's better to avoid trouble in this palace. Sister Lifei, Sister Qin, let's each take a step back."

Although Concubine Li was unwilling, she couldn't lose her temper in front of Concubine Shu, so she could only glare at Yu Yao fiercely and then sat back in her seat.

Yu Yao had a nonchalant look on her face, as if the conflict just now had nothing to do with her, and she casually found a place to stand.

Just then, Concubine Yu walked in with great grace.

She was wearing a deep crimson palace dress with mysterious patterns embroidered with golden silk thread on the hem, and she wore gorgeous gold ornaments on her head that shone with a dazzling light.

Her face was beautiful yet cold, her eyebrows were high, her eyes were sharp like an eagle, her thin lips were tightly pursed under her high nose bridge, and she exuded a frightening aura.

Seeing Concubine Yu arrive, everyone stood up and saluted.

Concubine Li and Concubine Zhen stood up reluctantly.

"Meet Concubine Yu."

Concubine Yu glanced at the crowd, and when she saw Concubine Li and Concubine Zhen, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

She quickly looked away from the two of them, frowned and said, "I smelled gunpowder from a distance, what's going on?"

At this time, Wen Zhaoyuan, who had always been close to Concubine Yu, came over and whispered to her about the conflict just now.

After hearing this, Concubine Yu felt that dogs biting each other were all bad people.

But compared to Concubine Qin, she obviously hated Concubine Li more.

She looked at Concubine Li and said sarcastically, "Oh, Concubine Li is so energetic this early in the morning, and she is picking on Concubine Qin. But it's true, you are usually very arrogant and like to cause trouble for others. Can't you hold back again today?"

Concubine Li's face turned pale and blue, and she bit her lip and said, "My Lady, it's Concubine Qin who doesn't know the rules."

Imperial Concubine Yu sneered, "Don't you know the rules? I'm just wearing something low-key, how does that bother you, Concubine Li? You don't know the rules? You scold me, and I'm not allowed to talk back?"

She was not helping Yu Yao, she simply hated Concubine Li and hated her so much.

Now that I have the chance, I will certainly not let it go.

Concubine Li's face turned red after being scolded by Concubine Yu, but she didn't dare to get angry. She could only bite her lips hard and hold her anger in her heart.

But in his heart, he secretly cursed Concubine Yu eight hundred times.

The queen watched a good show in the inner room, and when she thought it was about time, she came out.

She was wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on her head. The jewels on the crown sparkled with colorful light in the sunlight.

The queen had a dignified face and her eyes were full of majesty.

When everyone saw the queen, they all knelt and saluted, saying in unison: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, may Her Majesty be blessed."

The queen raised her hand slightly and said, "Everyone, get up."

Her eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one. When she saw Yu Yao, a hint of subtle surprise flashed in her eyes. It was obvious that she was also shocked by her beauty.

But she quickly regained her composure, turned to look at Concubine Yu, and asked, "I heard some noises in there just now, what's going on?"

Imperial Concubine Yu bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, it's just that Imperial Concubine Li and Imperial Concubine Qin had a small dispute, and I'm dealing with it now."

The Queen frowned slightly, looked at Concubine Li and said, "We are all sisters. Why can't we talk it out peacefully? Concubine Li, as a concubine, you should lead by example. How can you take the lead in provoking trouble?"

Concubine Li knelt down hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. It's just that Concubine Qin was dressed so poorly that I was afraid she would lose the dignity of the royal family, so I couldn't help but say a few words."

The Queen looked at Yu Yao with a hint of admiration in her eyes, "I think that Concubine Qin's outfit is unique and fresh and elegant. In this harem full of gorgeous costumes, this outfit is unique."

As she spoke, the queen winked at the palace maid beside her. The maid understood and quickly brought a piece of fine silk.

The Queen said, "Lady Qin, your outfit is very much to my liking. I will give you this piece of fabric. You can use it to make some new clothes."

She quickly knelt down to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Queen, for your reward. Your Majesty is wise."

The Queen turned her gaze to Concubine Li and said in a serious tone, "Concubine Li, please stop making trouble out of nothing. Concubine Qin's clothes are her personal preferences, but you are using this to make things difficult for her. It is really inappropriate."

Concubine Li was filled with resentment, but she did not dare to refute in front of the queen. She could only bite her lip and whispered, "Your concubine... Your concubine knows that she was wrong."

The old woman, the Queen, is deliberately suppressing me. It's really infuriating.

The queen's eyes were full of majesty, and she continued, "The harem should live in harmony, but you always stir up trouble. If you do it again, I will not let you off easily."

Yu Yao looked at the scene in front of her and understood that the Queen was intentionally suppressing Concubine Li's arrogance.

And because of the Queen's favoritism, she was afraid that she would become part of the Queen's party and would be targeted even more by Concubine Li.

This is not a good thing for her.
