One day, Murong Yao was walking alone in the palace garden. The flowers in the garden were in full bloom, with petals of various colors shimmering in the sunlight.
As Murong Yao walked along the path, she felt no joy in her heart. She knew that behind these seemingly beautiful flowers were the calculations and schemes of others.
Suddenly, a light laughter came from behind her. Murong Yao turned around and saw Mrs. Liu and Madam He walking towards her with a group of palace maids, laughing and joking.
"Well, well, if it isn't the Ms.Murong," Mrs. Liu pointed at Murong Yao with her finger as she walked, a mocking smile on her lips. Her eyes were full of disdain, as if she were examining something not worth mentioning.
Madam He also smiled and walked up to Murong Yao, looking her up and down. "Really, Ms.Murong, you love flowers so much, why don't you ask the emperor to reward you with some?"
Their words were full of sarcasm and mockery. Murong Yao felt a pang in her heart, but she knew she couldn't lose her temper here. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm.
"Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Liu and Madam He," Murong Yao smiled faintly, her voice calm. "I appreciate it, but I can handle it myself."
Mrs. Liu and Madam He, seeing her reaction, became even more displeased. They had expected to see Murong Yao embarrassed, but they hadn't anticipated her being so composed.
"Hmph, what an uninteresting woman." Mrs. Liu snorted and walked away with a group of palace maids.
Murong Yao watched their backs and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I cannot find a trace of peace within this palace. Therefore, I must become stronger in order to survive in this place.
The days passed by, but Murong Yao's life in the palace did not get any better. She was often picked on by Mrs. Liu and Madam He, and even other concubines joined in bullying her.
They would sometimes drug her food and sprinkle unpleasant powder on her clothes, causing her to embarrass herself in front of the emperor.
However, Murong Yao did not feel discouraged by this. She knew that she couldn't show her vulnerability here. She had to become stronger in order to protect herself.
So, Murong Yao began to learn how to survive in this environment. She learned how to distinguish if food was poisonous, how to remain calm in front of others, and how to use a smile to hide her unease.
One day, Mrs. Liu and Madam He once again approached Murong Yao. They brought a group of palace maids, holding a bunch of flowers in their hands, with mocking smiles on their faces.
" Ms.Murong, we heard that you like flowers, so we picked some especially for you," Mrs. Liu handed the flowers to Murong Yao with a playful look in her eyes.
Murong Yao took the flowers and smiled faintly, "Thank you, Mrs. Liu and Madam He, for your kind thoughts."
She knew that there must be poison in this bouquet. But she wouldn't let herself be harmed again. She gently smelled the flowers, then smiled faintly and placed them in a nearby vase.
"She's such a woman without vision." Madam He sneered and left with Mrs. Liu and the other palace maids.
Murong Yao watched their departing figures and felt a sense of relief. She knew she had successfully protected herself once again.
The days in the palace are an endless trial. Murong Yao faces tests from all directions every day.
Mrs. Liu and Madam He's conspiracy never stopped, it seemed they were determined to make Murong Yao taste all the pain in the world in this magnificent palace.
One morning, when Murong Yao opened the door of the bedroom, a strong foul smell hit her face.
She looked down and saw a pile of rotten fish intestines and chicken bones scattered on the ground. This was the new tactic of Mrs. Liu and Madam He, attempting to humiliate her.
Murong Yao's face showed no sign of panic. She quietly called for a palace maid to clean up, while she sat gracefully in front of the dressing table, combing her long hair. Her movements were elegant and composed, as if these pranks could not shake her spirit.
Mrs. Liu and Madam He stood at a distance, watching every move of Murong Yao. They had thought that their plan would greatly embarrass Murong Yao, but they were surprised to see her so composed.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Mrs. Liu's eyes. She gritted her teeth and silently vowed to make Murong Yao pay.
In the following days, the methods of Mrs. Liu and Madam He became more and more excessive. They drugged Murong Yao's tea, causing her to suddenly cough uncontrollably in front of everyone;
They also sewed threads into her dress that would suddenly break, attempting to embarrass her in the hall.
However, every conspiracy was resolved by Murong Yao with astonishing intelligence and composure.
She seemed to have foreseen everything, skillfully avoiding every crisis. Her performance made Mrs. Liu and Madam He increasingly angry, but also increasingly helpless.
Once, Mrs. Liu and Madam He joined forces to devise an even more cunning scheme.
They brought in a painter from the palace and asked him to paint a portrait of Murong Yao, adding some indecent elements to the painting, and then presenting it to the emperor.
Although the painter was uneasy, he still did as he was told under the threats of Mrs. Liu and Madam He. When the painting was completed, Mrs. Liu and Madam He proudly presented it to the emperor.
The emperor opened the scroll and saw the graceful and charming Murong Yao, but there were vaguely some indecent elements added to the painting. The emperor frowned, knowing that Murong Yao was not that kind of person, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
At that moment, Murong Yao happened to pass by and saw the portrayal of herself in the painting, showing no sign of panic on her face.
She walked up to the emperor and said softly, "Your Majesty, although this painting is skillfully done, there are some parts that are not true. If Your Majesty does not believe, the Minister's wives are willing to prove it on the spot."
The emperor nodded, and Murong Yao publicly revealed the unreal aspects of the painting. It turned out that the indecent elements added by the painter could be easily erased.
I saw Murong Yao applying a kind of powder on her hand, with a light touch, she immediately restored her original purity in the painting.
The emperor was greatly shocked to see this. He knew that all of this was a plot by Mrs. Liu and Madam He, and he was even more disappointed in them. He looked at Murong Yao with admiration, and his certainty in her intelligence and strength grew even stronger.
From then on, Mrs. Liu and Madam He no longer dared to easily frame Murong Yao. And because of this incident, Murong Yao gained the favor of the emperor.
Her position in the palace gradually became stable, and no one dared to look down on her anymore.
However, the question in Murong Yao's heart still remains unanswered. She wants to take the opportunity to find out Tuoba Gui's true identity.
