Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

"But you know in your heart what the Queen is thinking. It has nothing to do with us."

After listening to Yao Jinse's analysis, Bai Tan naturally understood what his young lady was worried about. But as she just said, it didn't matter what the queen thought. As long as the concubines in the harem could live in peace and live longer in the harem, they would naturally be able to maintain this peace.

In this harem, favors are secondary. What the concubines really have to take care of are the wealth and glory of their parents, brothers, and the bright future of their relatives. Except for a family background like that of Concubine Rong, who does not need icing on the cake, even the queen's mother's family needs the queen's help, not to mention others.

This wealth and glory was easy to come by, but it is not difficult to lose it. As long as there is no daughter of his own in the palace, decline is only a matter of time.

The Yao family was just a small family. Sending their daughter to the talent show was a helpless move. Yao's appearance was not particularly bright and eye-catching. The reason she was able to make it to the final round of the talent show was because the powerful people in the capital had already done their best to be screened out.

The old emperor was sixty-four years old at the time. According to the news from the palace, his health was already very poor. In those years, the capital was gradually in turmoil. The princes were secretly fighting for the position of crown prince. They wished to send their brothers one by one to a place of no return, and it would be best if they could not die again.

The court officials were naturally busy taking sides, overtly or covertly, to pave the way for their future. Under such circumstances, the daughters who were waiting to be married naturally became very good bargaining chips for making friends with the princes. Instead of sending them to the palace to accompany the old emperor in his last years, ruining their daughters' lives in vain, it would be better for them to simply be eliminated and have a bright future in the future.

The daughters of the powerful and wealthy had escaped early, so in order to meet the requirements of the number of people, naturally, the concubines without family background were left behind to support the group.

But no one expected that the old emperor held a beauty contest not for himself at all. The girls who remained in the final round were carefully selected and sent to the residences of various princes. In order to be fair, even Xie Yun'an, who was very idle at the time, was given two girls, but they were not as outstanding as those given to other brothers.

Yao is one of them.

Originally, Yao thought that this was how her life would be, but she never expected that fate would always reveal its twists and turns at the last moment, making her wonder whether she should be happy or not.

After all, Yao Jinse could not understand the original owner's emotions.

In the broken memories she inherited, there was only the green color of the stone slabs on the ground when she walked out of the palace. That color blended with the green robe worn by the young eunuch who led them at that time, making it difficult to tell whether it was real or not.

Then there is the scene where the gilded clouds in the sky were swallowed up bit by bit by the dim colors. The clouds looked like submerged algae, and the red walls and green tiles of the palace separated the dim sky into squares, making people feel hopeless.

As a result, after many twists and turns, the original owner's soul had already been buried in this bottomless palace city like the flying bird she saw at that time. Instead, she, a wandering soul in a foreign land, had to continue to live her life here in a busy and struggled manner.

"What the Queen thinks in her heart is not important to us. At least on the surface, the Queen has nothing to do with us. I am not worried about that," Yao Jinse was thinking about offering a suggestion: "After what happened today, I think the Imperial Concubine will act quickly. Once she finds someone, she will send him in as soon as possible. When the time comes, as long as the Imperial Concubine mentions this matter, I think the people in the former court and the harem will definitely do their best to facilitate this for the Imperial Concubine."

Although the younger generations of the Duke of Qi's mansion were domineering, they were not stupid. Moreover, the old master was still alive. Since the matter involved the heir to the throne, he would definitely be able to handle it. Therefore, the former dynasty would probably not use the people in the Duke of Qi's mansion to speak, but would definitely pave the way for the imperial concubine. For the imperial concubine, it didn't matter who the grace was given to.

If the Queen and Yao Jinse agree to do the same thing and want to take this opportunity to show their favor, then the Imperial Concubine should just be happy to see it happen. As long as she is favored, she doesn't care about the so-called human heart, as long as she gets the tangible benefits.

Therefore, Yao Jinse's strategy was originally intended to leave herself a way out.

Now it all depends on how the imperial concubine operates to reap the greatest benefits.

"How the Imperial Concubine handles this matter has nothing to do with us."

Bai Tao listened for a long time and finally understood the whole cause and effect. This girl's mind was actually not as simple as she seemed, so she naturally understood the seriousness of the matter.

To put it nicely, this matter was about Yao Jinse relieving the imperial concubine's worries; to put it bluntly, it was a royal scandal.

And the imperial concubine wanted to spread this scandal. The connection between the former dynasty and the harem has always been a taboo. It would be dangerous if it were exposed.

However, for Bai Tao, since her own mistress had proposed such a method, it meant that she must have made a decision. She had accompanied the mistress from the time she entered the palace to the present day, and had watched her go through ups and downs and finally gain a firm foothold. Therefore, she had considerable confidence in Yao Jinse.

"I think you don't need to be so careful. People outside might just think of this as a favor. If you are too careful, it will be easy for people to notice something is wrong!"

Bai Tao usually speaks her mind when it comes to unimportant matters, but what she said today was not wrong. It is necessary to be cautious in the harem, but being too cautious is not a good thing. Yao Jinse was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly heard Bai Tao say, "My lady, you'd better make preparations early. The old lady will definitely come to the palace at that time. My lady and the old lady haven't seen each other for many years. It's rare for them to meet now, so you should prepare well."

As soon as these words fell, Yao Jinse's heart, which had just calmed down, began to rise again.

She had only been in this world for a year. With her years of experience, she had been able to deal carefully among the group of masked sisters in the harem, and others had not noticed anything. But now that she had come to the family of this body, she was not sure that she could deceive Mrs. Yao, her biological mother.

Not seeing each other for many years seems to be a good thing, as it can provide an excuse for the changes in herself. However, because they haven't seen each other for many years, they will inevitably talk about many private matters when they meet. Yao Jinse knows nothing about these things, and now she is even more worried.

But there is no point in worrying now. She just wants to be careful when the time comes. What's the point of thinking about these things now? (End of this chapter)
