I don't want to be a thorn in the side of many concubines in the harem.
"sit!"
I said to Liang Fei with a slight smile, and then took the lead and sat in the seat where I usually sit.
"Cuixia, serve tea."
"yes."
At my instruction, Cuixia respectfully went out to prepare tea.
Liang Fei looked at me and smiled, which made me feel a little awkward.
I thought to myself: Isn’t she tired?
If you kept smiling like this, if it were me, I would definitely have twitched the corners of my mouth.
"Sister, my sister has been in the palace for so many days and she hasn't come to visit her. Don't blame me."
Liang Fei opened her mouth and said to me a little guiltily.
I listened, nodded and said, "How could it be? Concubine Liang should have cultivated herself when she contracted the cold. I won't blame her."
I spoke, trying my best to put a smile on my face.
I don't have the airs of a concubine at all, and I can see that Concubine Liang was a little surprised after hearing what I said.
Then she kindly said to me: "Sister, we are in the palace now and cannot use the word 'I' to refer to ourselves. This will make those slaves listen and ignore us. This is not in line with the rules."
I know that when I see the emperor or someone older than me in this palace, I will call myself my concubine, and to those servants and maids, I will call myself my palace.
but……
"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it, and so are they."
I said it calmly and nonchalantly.
I don't want to tie myself too tightly, I don't want to suffocate myself.
For so long, I have followed my own temperament and not followed the rules of this palace. Yuwen never said anything against me, nor did anyone say anything about me. Liangfei was the first one.
I will not be hostile to her just because she is the first. I did not enter the palace to compete for favors, and I will not be hostile to Yuwen Jueran's concubine.
I hope they won't take it as a thorn in their side, because I have no intention of competing with them.
"But……"
The concubine Liang wanted to say something else, but in the end she stopped.
At this time, Cuixia and several maids came up with plates of cakes and tea, and poured tea for us.
"Good concubine, eat cakes!"
I looked at Liang Fei and said.
"yes."
Liang Fei responded, picked up a piece of pastry and ate it.
And I didn't eat pastries.
I am not keen on pastries, so I may or may not eat them.
"Sister, don't you want to eat?"
Liang Fei looked at me and asked.
I smiled and replied: "Good concubine, eat! I just had breakfast and I'm not hungry yet."
