Chapter 111 Why can’t I win the duel in the harem?
"What?" Yun Ting crossed his arms, smiling, "Are you so satisfied with my decision that you can't speak?"
Seeing that Yun Ting deliberately arranged himself to enter Yaohua Palace and just stood by and watched the fun, Yun Ji became furious.
Knowing that Yaohua Palace was Concubine Shu's palace, Yun Ting still arranged him there. This shows that he did it on purpose.
Yun Ting judged that the Queen's power was declining and she had no say in many affairs of the harem. Now in the harem, it was Concubine Shu who had the final say.
Yun Ting was worried about letting Concubine Shu take charge of most of the affairs in the harem alone. Her brother was an important official in the previous dynasty. Yun Ting urgently needed to find someone who could divide the power in Concubine Shu's hands.
What a coincidence, he was the one who was pulled out and "favored and pampered" and made the women in the harem jealous.
It was fine for him to endure the jealousy of Concubine Shu and other concubines before.
But now, sending him in front of Concubine Shu is obviously pushing him into the fire pit!
Of course, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. Yun Ji subconsciously wanted to scold him. It was clear that if he was assigned to that place, his life would be at risk. But Yun Ting insisted on doing so. What was his intention? !
Just as he opened his lips to say something, Yun Ji suddenly remembered that Jin An had taught him that Yun Ting would respond to soft words rather than harsh ones, and that in front of Yun Ting, acting coquettishly was more effective than scolding.
Not wanting to expose the "anger" underneath the "gentleness", Yun Ji took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
He lowered his eyes, turning his anger into sadness, while his mind was not idle either, following the clues and constructing a tragic scene.
When Nan Yingzhi ascends the throne and becomes the new emperor in the future, the ministers will surely offer suggestions and allow her to fill the harem so that she can have offspring and allow the royal bloodline to flourish.
So it was inevitable that she would have three thousand beauties in her harem.
At that time, as the head of the harem, not only could I not compete with them for favor every day, but I also had to learn to be humble and tolerant, set a magnanimous example for the other concubines, and allow Nan Yingzhi to visit other concubines...
Thinking of the scene where Nan Yingzhi was having a great time chatting with other women and he was not allowed to raise any objections, Yun Ji felt a lump in his throat and tears welled up in his eyes.
Nan Yingzhi, who treated Yun Ting as a yellow robe and no longer favored her, said softly with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty."
When a beautiful woman sheds tears, the power of destruction is too great.
Even if Yun Ting was determined to make Lady Lian and Concubine Shu fight head-on, he would have no power to resist.
"Hey," Yun Ting felt his heart being pulled up by his tears. He couldn't help but panic. He raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of Yun Ji's eyes. "Why are you crying?"
Before she could figure out how to express her dissatisfaction in a tactful way, Yun Ting's disorganized approach hurt her face. Yun Ji kept avoiding him, not replying to him, and sobbing.
Yun Ting found that the more he coaxed Yun Ji, the harder she cried. He waved his hands and said in a bad tone: "If you have any dissatisfaction, just say it out!"
As if frightened, Yun Ji sniffed twice and cried even louder, looking even more pitiful.
"What's the point of just crying? Stop crying," Yun Ting held his forehead helplessly and told the truth, "It hurts my heart to see you like this."
Seeing that Yun Ting was really impatient, Yun Ji covered her mouth with a handkerchief to stop sobbing.
"Right," Yun Ting was relieved that he could finally communicate with Yun Ji normally. "We can talk it over. Tell me, what is it that I moved you to the more spacious Yaohua Palace that you don't like?"
"I remember that Yaohua Palace was where Sister Imperial Concubine Shu lived alone," Yun Ji wiped her tears with a handkerchief, not forgetting to take a gentle approach. "If I move there, Sister Imperial Concubine, will you think I'm noisy?"
"Why do you think so?" Yun Ting frowned and argued with him, "She lives alone, she must be very lonely, and she must be very happy to have you to relieve her boredom."
Use him to entertain yourself?
Maybe they think of him as a weak and vulnerable toy?
"Your Majesty," Yun Ji didn't want to live a life of misery, so he tried to use the bad reputation of Concubine Shu as an excuse to refuse, "It is said that Concubine Sister is arrogant, cruel and jealous, and I am afraid..."
"You said it all, it's just a rumor," Yun Ting said earnestly, "Have you heard the story of three people making a tiger? It talks about how terrible rumors are and how harmful they are. How can you easily believe what others say without seeing it with your own eyes and experiencing it yourself?"
Yun Ji blinked his eyes and looked confused, but he was actually complaining in his heart.
Is it just a rumor that Concubine Shu is vicious?
If the "Prince Regent" had not intervened, she would have beaten "Nan Yingzhi" to death!
In front of the "well-behaved" Yun Ji, Yun Ting became addicted to nagging: "When you are in charge of the harem in the future, will you also be so nepotistic and listen to the rumors in the harem?"
I always feel that moving there will not only require day and night defense, which will consume a lot of energy, but also make it difficult to meet with Nan Yingzhi in private. Seeing Yun Ting stop, Yun Ji began a new round of refusals: "Your Majesty, there are many empty palaces, it is not necessary..."
"Isn't it good to live with her?" Hearing that Yun Ji wanted him to change his mind again, Yun Ting interrupted him and found an excuse for him, "It's close, so she can teach you how to handle harem affairs."
Yun Ji did not expect that Concubine Shu would let bygones be bygones and teach him everything she knew, and he also felt that he had gone a little too far tonight, so he did not refute and chose to remain silent.
"I told you to go, so just go with peace of mind," Yun Ting raised his eyebrows, only caring about the balanced distribution of power in the harem, not caring about his life or death, "No matter how hateful the imperial concubine is, can she eat you?"
Yun Ji's repeated rejections made Yun Ting feel annoyed. He had originally thought that since there was no early court tomorrow, he could spend the whole night with him, but now he was completely out of mood.
"I am already exhausted dealing with state affairs on a daily basis. You must learn to be virtuous and not cause me trouble," Yun Ting said in a tone that did not allow for argument. "Pack up tonight and move in tomorrow morning after paying respects."
After saying that, he turned around and left with Gao Shu, without giving Yun Ji a chance to refute.
He bowed politely and said "I respectfully bid farewell to Your Majesty" until Yun Ting disappeared around the corner. Yun Ji put away the grievance on his face, and without any reluctance, he walked into the hall.
"Miss," Lan Fu followed him in and saw that he looked serious. She took the initiative to speak for him, "The Yaohua Palace is the palace of Concubine Shu. If we move there, we have to follow her instructions. Why did His Majesty do this?"
"It's just to prevent the power from being monopolized by Concubine Shu." Yun Ji found that he still had fantasies about Yun Ting from time to time. He shook his head and laughed at his own stupidity. "Emperors have always been ruthless."
"Alas, the young lady clearly said she didn't want to, but His Majesty is still pressing her," Lan Fu said with a worried look on her face. "It's getting late. I'll prepare your luggage. You should go to bed. I'm afraid tonight is the last day you can rest well."
Without obeying Lan Fu's words and lying down immediately, Yun Ji raised his head and looked at the night sky quietly.
He never likes to escape.
Before, I hid in Zhuixia Palace, just thinking that maybe by hiding, I could avoid a lot of risks.
But now, Yun Ting's insistence on making him move into Yaohua Palace was like a heavy punch, causing pain in his cheek.
Thanks to this punch, he was able to face the reality and understand some truths from his unrealistic idea of "I will not offend others unless they offend me".
Once there is a conflict, it will never disappear slowly just because of temporary tolerance.
On the contrary, constantly giving in will only allow your opponent to become more aggressive.
Since we are in the harem, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Whether voluntary or forced, everyone has to fight to the death to determine who is superior and who is inferior.
Why couldn't he, who was in the game, defeat everyone else and become the one and only winner?
Instead of being submissive, it is better to take direct action and fight with other concubines.
In this way, it can be done more conveniently!
