I accidentally became the Eighth Lady in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 218 Entering the Palace

Lao Ba and Yun Yan lived a much more comfortable life. After Yun Yan's careful instruction, Lao Ba's swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds. But after just a few days, Yun Yan became impatient. She didn't like practicing martial arts in the first place. The only reason she chose to practice martial arts was because she wanted to protect herself!

Yunyan brought Shishu and Shiqin to the palace to visit Concubine Liang. The Eighth Brother had some matters to attend to in the Ministry of Works, and things were not peaceful in Jiangnan during this period. The Fourth Brother couldn't bear to see the Eighth Brother having too much free time, so he came to see him early every morning!

This made Lao Ba miserable. He was so angry that he ordered everyone not to open the door and not to let Lao Si in. However, this did not pose a problem for Lao Si, because Lao Si and Lao Ba were only separated by a wall. Lao Si simply asked someone to bring a ladder, and he climbed up the ladder to enter Lao Ba's mansion.

Originally, the guards in Lao Ba's mansion wanted to stop it, but they received a message telling them not to interfere.

That’s right, it was Yunyan who ordered them not to interfere, because Yunyan really thought Lao Ba was too annoying and too much of a bother, leaving her with nothing to do all day long!

When Lao Ba can be busy, Yunyan is most relaxed. In this way, Yunyan doesn't have to stretch out her hands every time she wants to do something. There will always be another pair of hands counting faster than her!

As soon as Yunyan arrived at Concubine Liang's palace, Concubine Liang held Yunyan's hand with a smile on her face and wouldn't let go. Looking at such a beauty, even if she didn't smile much, Concubine Liang felt happy!

In addition, Yunyan truly regarded her as her mother. Although Yunyan seldom went to the palace, whenever there was anything delicious or fun, she would have someone send it to the palace.

Concubine Liang knew that Yunyan didn't like entering the palace, not because she didn't like her, but because she hated the intrigues in the palace. In fact, Concubine Liang herself hated it too, but she had been trapped in the womb all her life and couldn't escape!

Every time Concubine Liang saw the faint smile on Yunyan's face, her thoughts went back to her childhood. She remembered that her mother smiled like this, and it looked very gentle, but with a sense of alienation that made it difficult for people to approach her!

Yunyan: "Mother, where are you going? Am I here at the wrong time?"

Concubine Liang raised her hand and gently tapped Yunyan's forehead, saying with a smile: "Nonsense again, why are you here at the wrong time? You've come at the perfect time. I'm going to the Empress Dowager's place, and it's just right for you to come with me!"

Yunyan hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded in agreement! Yunyan and Liang Fei walked hand in hand towards the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace. The two of them talked and laughed, looking very intimate.

The palace maids and eunuchs passing by all sighed that Concubine Liang and Lady Eight had such a good relationship, they were just like a real mother and daughter!

After arriving at Shoukang Palace, Yunyan was able to chat and laugh with the Empress Dowager and the others because of the help of Concubine Liang. However, Yunyan acted as if she didn't hear the hidden meanings in the words of the Emperor's concubines, namely Concubine Hui and Concubine De, and ignored them completely!

This made Defei and the others look even uglier. They felt that Yunyan was simply looking down on them. The Empress Dowager on the side pretended not to see anything and played deaf and dumb as she ate snacks and drank milk tea!

After so many years of living in the harem, the Empress Dowager has already developed her own rules of survival. If she wants to live well, she has to pretend not to see or hear anything! However, when Concubine De and the others speak too harshly, the Empress Dowager will stop them and scold them. They are so old and shameless that they embarrass the younger generation!

The Empress Dowager scolded Concubine De and the other concubines in front of everyone and slapped them hard. Concubine De and the other concubines were very upset and felt that the Empress Dowager was too partial. It was Yunyan who was disrespectful to them first, so why were they the ones who were scolded in the end?

Although Concubine Liang was worried, she did not show weakness. If it were her, it would be fine, as she was used to showing weakness anyway. However, Concubine De and the others wanted to make things difficult for Yunyan, and Concubine Liang not only did not show weakness, she also spoke up for Yunyan!

Concubine Yi watched the show from the sidelines and felt that this trip today was not in vain, because her unlucky son had a good relationship with the Eighth Brother, and in addition, they had fought overtly and covertly in the past few years. Although they were now in harmony, in the early years, it was really a matter of life and death. Now that she could see them suffering, it would be really stupid for her not to add insult to injury!

Later, the Empress Dowager impatiently drove them all out. Yunyan did not stay long and said goodbye to Concubine Yi and Concubine Liang directly at the gate of Shoukang Palace!

Concubine Yi and Concubine Liang looked at Yunyan's back happily, then went back to Concubine Liang's palace together and started playing mahjong!

As soon as Yunyan turned around, the smile on her face disappeared. When Shishu and the others saw Yunyan's ugly face, they all cursed Defei and the others in their hearts. They felt that their master, who had finally come to the palace, actually ganged up to target their master. They really thought they were easy to bully!

Shiqin rolled her eyes. Shishu saw Shiqin's expression and knew what was going on. He did not stop Shiqin from doing this, but whispered to her, "Take it easy. Don't go too far or you'll anger everyone!"

Shiqin quickly smiled and nodded, as if to show me that I should know my limits! Shiqin was so happy. With Shishu's nod, she could do more!

After returning to the mansion, Shiqin did not forget to complain, and the Eighth Brother was instantly furious. Later, he openly made trouble for the eldest brother and his family. But the eldest brother and his family did not dare to get angry, because it was their Nyonya's fault, and they, as sons, had to pay for it!

Defei and the others were also miserable! They had never thought that one day, they would be the ones to suffer from the younger generation. Not only were they scolded by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but even things in their palaces were not going smoothly. They were all trivial matters, and no one dared to mistreat them, but they could still make the people around them run a few more times!

This made Concubine Yi laugh at their mistakes enough. Because of this, everyone in the harem, whether it was Kangxi's concubines or the eunuchs and palace maids, knew that the Eighth Lady should not be messed with. She had the confidence behind her!

On this day, the weather was fine and Yunyan was in the pharmacy. She asked everyone to take out the medicinal materials to dry them in the sun. Yunyan herself was not idle either and started working right away!

I still remember the first time Yunyan took charge, the servants were shocked and they all rushed to do the work in Yunyan's hands. At first, Yunyan felt quite relaxed and comfortable. After all, she was happy to be relaxed as long as someone could help her!
