During her days in the palace, Murong Yao not only had to face the cunning schemes of Mrs. Liu and Madam He, but also had to deal with the sabotage of other concubines.
Once, a concubine named Ms. Dawang set up a clever trap, intending to make Murong Yao look bad in front of everyone.
Ms. Dawang is a concubine who excels in dancing. Her graceful dance moves often win the favor of the emperor.
One day, she held a dance party in the palace, inviting all the concubines and palace maids to attend. Murong Yao knew it was a dangerous occasion, but she couldn't be absent to avoid displeasing the emperor.
On the day of the dance, the grand hall in the palace was decorated extremely magnificently. Glass lanterns hung high, illuminating the entire hall.
Ms.Dawang wore a red dance dress, resembling a blooming flower, gracefully dancing in the ballroom. Her elegant dance moves won the admiration of the crowd.
Next, Ms. Li invited Murong Yao to dance together. Although Murong Yao knew it was a trap, she still smiled and walked onto the dance floor.
Her dance steps were light and graceful, like willow fluff in the wind, forming a sharp contrast with Ms. Dawang's dance posture.
At that moment, Ms. Dawang suddenly made a cunning dance move, trying to make Murong Yao lose her balance.
She deliberately stepped on the edge of Murong Yao's skirt, trying to make her fall. Everyone's eyes were focused on the dance floor, waiting for the scene about to unfold.
However, Murong Yao did not fall as Li had hoped. She skillfully turned her body, cleverly avoiding Ms. Dawang's trap.
Her dance steps were not disrupted, but instead became even more smooth and elegant. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but cheer for Murong Yao's composure and talent.
Ms. Dawang's face turned pale all of a sudden. She thought her scheme would succeed, but she didn't expect it to be easily resolved by Murong Yao.
She could only grit her teeth and continue to finish this dance, but her heart was full of hatred.
After the dance, Murong Yao glanced at Ms. Dawang and left the grand hall with a faint smile.
Soon after, a concubine named the Zhao found Murong Yao. The Zhao was originally Mrs. Liu's trusted maid, and it was clear that she had come to see Murong Yao on Mrs. Liu's orders.
"Murong sister, the Emperor has been showing a lot of favor towards you lately," Zhao said with a smile, but jealousy was evident in her eyes.
Murong Yao looked at her calmly and replied, "Sister Zhao, you are too kind. The Emperor is fair; he treats all his consorts equally."
the Zhao sneered, "Do you really think the Emperor likes you? Let me tell you, the Emperor is only interested in your beauty. You'd better not get too conceited."
Murong Yao's heart sank, knowing that the Zhao's words, though harsh, were true.
In this place, everything she has is only temporary. She must be more careful and not let herself fall into deeper trouble.
"Thank you for the reminder, sister Zhao," Murong Yao smiled slightly, but said no more.
the Zhao Looking at her back, the hatred in her heart grew even stronger.
She swore to find an opportunity to let this Later Yan princess taste the bitterness of failure.
After leaving Murong Yao's palace, the resentment in Zhao's heart surged like a dark undercurrent.
She must find a perfect opportunity to let Murong Yao taste the bitterness of failure.
She quickly returned to Mrs. Liu's chamber and reported Murong Yao's reactions to Mrs. Liu one by one.
Mrs. Liu listened and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
"This Murong Yao doesn't seem to be so easily dealt with," Mrs. Liu said coldly, tapping her fingers on the table unconsciously, contemplating the next step of her plan.
The Zhao stood aside, feeling nervous and uneasy. She knew that if she couldn't successfully make Murong Yao fall out of favor, her own position would be threatened.
"Madam, can we approach this from another angle?" The Zhao cautiously suggested.
Mrs. Liu's eyes flashed with a hint of contemplation, and she nodded, "Hmm, since Murong Yao is so clever, we can't use these petty tricks anymore. We need to target the things she cares about the most."
the Zhao felt a stir in her heart, knowing what Mrs. Liu meant. Undoubtedly, what Murong Yao cared about the most was her homeland and her identity.
"Madam's meaning is..." the Zhao asked tentatively.
Mrs. Liu sneered, "Although Murong Yao is now with Northern Wei, her heart still longs for Southern Yan. We can use this to make her identity her fatal weakness."
the Zhao listened and a sly glint flashed in her eyes. She immediately understood Mrs. Liu's scheme.
"Madam, we can spread rumors in the palace, saying that Murong Yao is scheming to use the Emperor's power to restore Southern Yan. In this way, the Emperor will surely become suspicious of her," the Zhao said with a cold smile playing at the corner of her mouth.
Mrs. Liu nodded in satisfaction after listening, "Good, do as you said. I must make Murong Yao understand that she will never be able to hold her head high in Northern Wei."
the Zhao respectfully obeyed, but secretly felt pleased. She knew that if this plan succeeded, her position in Mrs. Liu's heart would surely become more secure.
The palace conspiracy quietly unfolded under the arrangement of Mrs. Liu and the Zhao. Meanwhile, Murong Yao will become the victim of this conspiracy and face unprecedented challenges.
The rumors in the palace always spread quickly. Before long, the gossip about Murong Yao spread like wildfire throughout the palace. Some people discussed it in secret, while others spied discreetly. Every move of Murong Yao became the focus of everyone's attention.
Murong Yao may be young, but her thoughts are extremely delicate. She quickly noticed the unusual atmosphere in the palace. The gazes from the concubines and palace maids had changed from initial curiosity and envy to scrutiny and vigilance.
She had a hunch and vaguely guessed the conspiracy behind this. Murong Yao knew that she couldn't just sit and wait for her doom; she had to find a way to unravel this crisis.
So, she began to devote herself even more to her studies and practice, seemingly indifferent to these rumors on the surface, but in reality, she had already begun to secretly investigate the source of these rumors.
Inside the palace of the Northern Wei, the lights were bright, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn. Murong Yao, the young Princess of Southern Yan, stood to the side, her eyes shining with intelligence.
Since she was brought here, she has been working hard to adapt to everything here, while also constantly observing and thinking.
Murong Yao found that her reputation in the palace is always accompanied by some bad rumors.
These rumors always spread particularly quickly among certain groups of people, all of whom are intricately connected to Mrs. Liu and the Zhao.
She already had the answer in her heart, but she didn't immediately reveal everything. She knew that she was not yet a match for Mrs. Liu, and if she acted rashly, she would only find herself in even greater trouble.
So, Murong Yao began to plan. She knew that in order to establish herself in this vast palace, she had to gain the trust of the emperor.
So, she began to study even harder, striving to improve her abilities.
Every time the emperor held court, Murong Yao would send someone to inquire about the discussions at court, and she would prepare in advance when the emperor summoned her.
She often studies various policies and strategies. Her proposed suggestions are always carefully considered, both in line with the national conditions of Northern Wei and capable of solving practical problems.
For example, during a morning meeting, a minister proposed increasing taxes on farmers to supplement the national treasury.
Once, while helping the emperor deliver prepared meals, I pretended to see a memorial. The emperor asked for Murong Yao's opinion, and she pointed out that farmers are the foundation of the country, and excessive taxation would make their lives difficult, thereby affecting the stability of the country.
She suggested increasing the country's revenue by improving agricultural technology and increasing agricultural production. This suggestion was approved by the emperor.
Murong Yao often shows loyalty to Northern Wei and abandonment of Later Yan in front of the emperor, discussing the future of Northern Wei and expressing concern and expectations for the country. Her sincere words gradually gained the emperor's trust.
At the same time, Murong Yao did not forget to win over other concubines and ministers.
She often hosts small banquets, inviting palace concubines and influential ministers. At the banquet, Murong Yao always has a pleasant smile, listens carefully to everyone, and gives appropriate responses. Her speech and behavior are very decent, making people feel warm and comfortable.
Once, she cleverly resolved the conflict between two ministers at a banquet. It turned out that the two ministers were fighting over a minor official position.
Murong Yao skillfully mediated at the banquet, not only reconciling the two ministers, but also ensuring that they both received satisfactory official positions. This incident made other ministers look at Murong Yao with new respect, believing that she was not only intelligent, but also very adept at dealing with people.
As time passed, the rumors about Murong Yao gradually disappeared from the palace. The Emperor's trust in her also deepened, leading other concubines and ministers to change their views as well.
Mrs. Liu and the Zhao were even more furious and panicked when they saw this. They never expected that the young Southern Yan princess could unravel their plot in such a short time.
Mrs. Liu and the Zhao began to collaborate more closely, secretly rallying some ministers in an attempt to strike against Murong Yao once again.
However, Murong Yao was no longer the easily bullied princess of Southern Yan. Her wisdom and determination successfully defused this crisis.
One day, Murong Yao was summoned by the emperor. The emperor was very pleased with her performance and praised her intelligence and bravery.
Murong Yao humbly stated that she was only working hard for the future of Northern Wei.
The Emperor smiled and said to her, " Yao'er, you are the smartest and most talented woman I have ever met. I believe you will become the lucky star of Northern Wei."
Murong Yao felt a stir in her heart, knowing that her efforts had finally paid off. She smiled and replied, "Thank you for Your Majesty's praise, Minister's wives. I will definitely continue to work hard."
From then on, Murong Yao's position in the palace gradually became stable. With her intelligence, talent, and perseverance, she successfully resolved crisis after crisis, becoming an indispensable figure in the emperor's heart.
