Chapter 375: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (20)
The sachets made by Lin Yan are really good. The smell is neither too strong nor too weak. Wearing them on your body can last for several days and also has a calming effect.

After using it for the past few days, Concubine Shu has found that she can sleep much more easily at night. When she wakes up, it is already bright morning, and even her physical fatigue is much less.

Therefore, her mood was particularly good during the past few days, and she became more lenient towards the palace servants around her.

"This fragrant herb sachet is quite good. I feel very confident using it. Falling plum blossoms, enjoy!"

Today, after checking Ping An's pulse, the imperial physician told her that her condition was much better than before. And because she slept well at night, her skin condition was much better when she woke up the next day.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she seemed to be younger than before, which made her feel particularly good.

After hearing this, Luo Mei picked up a makeup box from the dressing table and walked to Lin Yan. "The Queen has a reward. You can choose some headwear you like. Also, you are not very outstanding. You should dress yourself up when you are with the Queen. Don't embarrass the Queen!"

Lin Yan timidly picked a set of jade headpieces, but the jade on them were all leftovers, so they were not worth much. After taking them, she timidly said, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!"

As the head maid, even if they were not assigned any work, they had to serve in the inner hall. After all, the master would never be short of people, so they had to be ready to be ordered at any time.

Over the past few days, because Concubine Shu was in a good mood, the working atmosphere of everyone was much better. Even though there were some intrigues, at least they didn't have to work in fear like before.

Several senior palace maids couldn't help but find Lin Yan and praise her for making good sachets. It was as if Concubine Shu had finally returned to her previous state, giving people the feeling that she was well served.

But everyone also knows that this is just an appearance. Once the emperor's affairs are involved, they will probably return to their previous irrational state.

After the working atmosphere became better, everyone was less vigilant when doing things, and everyone communicated more. Sometimes they even got together to discuss gossip and share some harmless information that others didn't know.

Lin Yan was promoted too quickly, and she knew that she would inevitably attract jealousy, so when chatting with these people, she would occasionally reveal a sad expression. She would also talk about some things that happened in the past to make her look more miserable.

Most of the people present had experienced things like being betrayed by their former sisters, or having to watch their friends leave because they had no one to turn to. It was because they had experienced it that they could relate to it.

As she spoke, she started talking about her life after coming to the Xianyang Palace.

For example, those pink people.

Although she had moved out of the original dormitory, she remembered everything they did clearly. They all treated her as a nobody.

And at that time, she only helped them up because she was afraid that others would see her bullying them. Come to think of it, she seemed to have never forgiven them from beginning to end! Wasn't it?
"Alas, sometimes I don't really understand. I have no grudges against them, but... maybe this is the fate of human beings." She lowered her head helplessly, with a look of loneliness and a hint of cowardice.

If he hadn't been too weak before, how could he have been bullied like this?

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to be noticed by Concubine Shu for her ability to make incense, otherwise she would probably continue to be bullied.

"Vanilla, I think you are too kind. If it were me, I would have asked someone to teach them a lesson a long time ago. Your personality is really not suitable for this kind of environment. You are too easy to be bullied."

After one person finished speaking, someone else immediately nodded in agreement.

They were all girls in their teens, not ignorant children. They had to work hard to get to where they are today. But on the road to growth, they had to go through hardships, so compared to the maids in the courtyard who were ignorant of the world, they knew more about the rules of survival.

Weakness is the original sin.

They might sympathize, but they were more likely to ridicule. However, because Lin Yan was promoted too quickly, they became wary, and after hearing these words, that vigilance became unnecessary.

It turned out that the person they were hostile to was a soft-hearted person who seemed to be innocent and often helped others with work. He didn't seem to be a very smart person, so there was no need to be too wary of him.

Lin Yan could also clearly sense their relaxed mood, the kind of normal state of mind that they felt when there was no threat.

She curled her lips, smiled, raised her head and looked at everyone, and said: "In the past, I always followed Mammy's ideas, not fighting or competing, and suffering losses is a blessing. Now, I also understand that people still need to have a little temper."

The person next to her patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, we are all a family, there won't be so many problems. But are you going to let these three go?"

She looked at her in confusion and shook her head, "I don't know either. I just know that I don't like them. I hate them."

It was a childish remark, but it also revealed information to the outside world. Those three people were not under her protection, so she could bully them at will.

In this palace, what matters is the backstage, and it is obvious that Pink and the other three do not have any. When they were self-righteously hugging a thigh and were complacent, that thigh had already made its attitude clear.

But this was not said openly, and they didn't know.

I believe that it won’t be long before these hints are spread.

This can also be considered a kind of workplace, but ability only accounts for a small part. The most important thing is to see who is more scheming.

……

After Concubine Shu's mood improved a lot in the past few days, she began to think about other things.

The emperor hadn't come to her place for a long time in the past few days. It had been seven days since the last lecture. She knew that she had to take the initiative and couldn't always be passive, otherwise the emperor would get annoyed.

So she ordered the small kitchen to make a bowl of soup, which she planned to deliver to the imperial study personally.

Lin Yan watched the team leave, feeling a little mocking in her heart.

It's ridiculous that so many women are competing for the favor of one man.

But for some people, vying for favor is to consolidate the family's status, so these people are just tools, and what they are after is not love, but power.

But what about Concubine Shu? She was truly foolish, actually wanting to gain the true love of an emperor.

And the person you fall in love with has already become the loser in this game.
