Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 391
"At the beginning, they came here with Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu had an ugly face and was quite dissatisfied with them in her words. I thought it was because they deliberately did something to disgust Concubine Shu. But after hearing it, I found out that it was a misunderstanding..." Chi Xi Nian slowly explained the unhappiness between the three of Chen Meiren and Concubine Shu.

After a short pause, she continued: "The misunderstanding is over, I planned to leave here, but a strange feeling began to appear at this time.

"They started with the reason for Concubine Shu's temper, and talked about the impact of Princess Yinyue's failure to enter the palace on the situation in the harem. They also mentioned that it is the best choice to get close to me at this moment and ask for my protection."

Hearing this, Yan Chujing couldn't help frowning, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his phoenix eyes.

Even though he knew that this was the law of survival in the harem, he was still displeased for a moment when he heard about their plot against Chi Xinian.

However, he just pursed his lips to digest the displeasure, and did not interrupt Chi Xinian.

"Actually, this is nothing. If you want to live a good life in the court, you have to find a reliable backer." Chi Xinian patted Yan Chujing's arm to comfort him, and at the same time continued, "But the strange thing is that Chen who proposed this idea The beauty didn't intend to take action immediately, but first asked Lin Jieyu's opinion.

"It wasn't until Lin Jieyu nodded in agreement that she showed a little joy."

"It's nothing, right?" Yan Chujing felt that Chen Meiren's reaction was reasonable, "It's not a trivial matter to take refuge in anyone, and it's understandable to make plans after discussing with people you know well.

"Besides, Lin Jieyu looks gentle and steady, and she is indeed a good person worth discussing."

"However, she is not someone who has never been in contact with me, but someone who already had a good relationship with me." Chi Xinian still felt that something was wrong, "She has taken refuge in me before, and she has gone very well with me. Otherwise, I wouldn't trust her to take care of many things about the Spring Banquet.

"And I can also hear from their follow-up conversations that she thinks I'm a pretty good person, I'm easy-going and talkative, and I'm a good backer.

"But even so, she didn't make a decision right away, but handed over the decision-making power to Lin Jieyu. It seems that if she wants to get close to me, she has to lead her...

"Don't you think, isn't this weird? It feels like..."

"It's like letting go of what's near to seek far?" Yan Chujing found a suitable adjective for Chi Xinian's description.

"That's right! It's about looking far away!" Chi Xinian's eyes lit up.

The backer she wanted to find clearly had a good relationship with her, and she could easily get asylum from the other party by virtue of her past friendship, but she still had to go around and find Lin Jieyu first.

After Lin Jieyu approved of her idea, she followed Lin Jieyu to seek refuge.

Why is this necessary?
Doesn't it seem a lot of trouble to go around in circles?
"It seems a bit strange for you to say that..." Because of past calculations, Yan Chujing was very clear about Chi Xinian's past relationships.

He knew that this beauty Chen was the first group of people in the harem to vote for Chi Xinian.

She had a good relationship with Concubine Qing at that time, and neither of them liked Concubine Shu, so when the queen entered the palace, they voted for the queen without hesitation.

Moreover, compared to the elegant Concubine Qing, the lively and talkative Chen Meiren and Chi Xinian got acquainted faster...
