Lady Wan's proposal stunned Gu Yunxi.

Seeing her well-behaved standing opposite the table and holding the gold box firmly with a naive appearance, Gu Yunxi was really upset.

The remaining four women were all quiet. Some looked at Lady Wan, while others peeked at Gu Yunxi, wondering what would happen to them.

Concubine Liang smiled faintly with darkness in her eyes. She was silently concerned about the beautiful Gu Yunxi.

She was smart. So she knew that Gu Yunxi was putting on air by the power of the emperor.

Seeing Gu Yunxi did not immediately reply to Lady Wan, Concubine Liang on the side added very timely, "Oops, Sister Wan, the mermaid bead is the bauble given to Yunxi by His Majesty. How can you also be childish and compete for it with Yunxi?"

These harmless words seemed to complain that Lady Wan was not sensible. In fact, she forced Gu Yunxi.

Didn't she boast that this box of mermaid bead and opal were all unremarkable baubles? Why not give them to other concubines?

Gu Yunxi experienced a lot in Emperor Jingxiao's imperial harem for half a year. She even played a vital role in the fight among Wan Yuyao and other concubines.

With her intelligence, how could she not understand the hidden meanings of the woman's words?

She should listen for the meaning behind her words.

Lady Wan on the opposite currently was also sensible. She carried the gold box more firmly and pouted, "Since it's a bauble, it doesn't matter much to you, Sister Yun. So, how can't you give it to me?"

Raising her narrow eyebrows lightly, Gu Yunxi smiled and cast her bright eyes to Lady Wan, "You're right. I like your straightforward temperament. Well, I will give the box and what's inside to you."

Lady Wan became pleased suddenly and said, "Thank you so much, Sister Yun. Thank you!"

On her side, Jieyu Jiang and Meiren Qi made eye contact and laughed.

Meiren Qi looked down at the stuff on the table and shook her shoulders. A pair of jade bead tassels on her head swayed and sounded.

"We come here together. Since sister Yun sent a good thing to Sister Wan, we can't be ignored."

She leaned close to Gu Yunxi, took one of her arms and said in a delicate voice, "Whatever, today we are brought together by fate. Sister, I like you so much when meeting you. I have to ask you for a gift."

"Me, too. Sister Yun says she will share these things with us, so naturally, she will not break her word."

Jieyu Jiang echoed on the side.

Concubine Liang silently wiped her nose with a handkerchief with a gleam in her cold eyes.

Although these concubines usually fought for a man's favor, at a critical moment they could unite as one.

Not surprisingly, a good play was yet to come. Gu Yunxi was bound to have no choice but to suffer in silence.

Over there, Gu Yunxi held their hands on each side with a smile and coaxed, "Well, it's a rare day for Jingyang Palace to be crowded with sisters. Take whatever you like."

"Really?"

Concubine Liang who was quiet suddenly asked. Seeming to wait for the moment for a long time, she waved her hands to call Concubine Xian, "Sister, come here. Sister Yun will send us good things. Come and pick some."

Gu Yunxi crossed her arms and showed cool beauty between her eyebrows, "That's natural, Sisters. Let's play a game now. I will ask someone to look at the sundial. You can take the things here as many as possible within half an hour. It's fine to take all the stuff. That is your skill."

"Oh, Sister Yun is my real sister!"

Concubine Liang clapped her hands and stretched out her long neck to shout to the outside of the palace, "Jinhua, Yuhu, Yiran, Yunqiao, and Banxia, come in. Help us carry things!"

Before the mighty voice faded away, five palace maids in different colors of clothes orderly walked the five concubines' side and said "master."

Gu Yunxi was serious and she couldn't believe that Concubine Liang had this idea. It seemed that she was so cheeky that her face was three cents thicker than the walls of the gate of divine prowess.

Gu Yunxi just promised and Concubine Liang asked her maids in.

It didn't matter. Gu Yunxi didn't care for worldly possessions anyway, so she just made a trap and lured them in.

When Gu Yunxi was in the Palace, these concubines were nobody.

They were too childish to imitate ancient palace intrigues with Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi thought about a lot and watched these women coldly, "Oh, this is mine. Give it to me."

"I see that pearl crown first. On ordinary days, I always yield to you. This time, you should yield to me, shouldn't you?"

"No way! Give it to me!"

…

In Jingyang Palace, eunuchs and maids all clustered on both sides of Gu Yunxi, completely stunned by this chaotic situation. They opened their eyes wide and were speechless.

Seeing them fighting for the treasure and arguing, Gu Yunxi sneered.

She turned to say to Che, "Go to see His Majesty. Tell him that I want to ask him to come quietly."

Che nodded and left quickly.

Zhiqi was unknown, only feeling indignant but helpless. She cursed quietly.

"These concubines go too far in bullying others. They come to Jingyang Palace together and dare to compete for the reward given by His Majesty in front of Lady Yun. Do they respect Lady Yun?"

She couldn't tolerate it, so she tugged at Gu Yunxi's cuff and asked in a low voice, "Master, what are you going to do? Obviously, they are bullying you. If you don't come up with an idea, in addition to these things, they won't appreciate you. From now on, the word will be that we are weak and easy to bully."

Gu Yunxi's eyes were clear with cold light. She watched those women who were making threatening gestures without expression and said leisurely.

"Let's see."

With a graceful dress, Gu Yunxi paced toward the women.

Zhiqi was still worried and followed Gu Yunxi, for fear that she had an accident.

The two concubines were now competing for the jade sailboat carved by Bo Ku at the table.

"Sister Concubine Liang, I like the jade boat much. It should be given to me."

"Sister Concubine Xian, don't you have a big mosaic gold boat in your palace? That's enough. I should have this one. Jinhua, take it away."

Concubine Xian failed to get the jade boat as expected and was upset.

She looked around the table with her red eyes, seeing that several pure gold and silver bottles were also robbed, as well as the Western Music Box and perfume.

She rested her arms on the hips in a huff and her chest rose and fell.

Seeing this, Gu Yunxi smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

"Sister, don't be anxious. There are still some valuable rare objects on the shelf. I'll fetch them."

Concubine Xian became energetic and nodded with a smiley face. She followed Gu Yunxi to the locker beside the northern wall.

Zhiqi was stunned, "What's wrong with my Master?"

Seeing that the twelve plates were about to be snapped up, she did not stop, but continued to show wealth?

Did she not know that these women were all insatiable? Their jealousy was like a boundless sea and their desire was like an unfathomable bottomless hole, which could never be satisfied.

Gu Yunxi, Concubine Xian and the maid Yuhu stopped in front of the locker.

Other women saw this and came around, afraid that the treasure was taken by Concubine Xian herself.

On the stool, Gu Yunxi said hypocritically.

"Ah, there is a golden-carved cloud cup..."

Holding the cup and turning around, she showed the cup to women and overstated.

"Look, this cup is rich in paint and crystal clear enough to shine. Is not eye-catching anywhere? Sister, take it."

Then she turned back and gave the cup to Jieyu Jiang beside Concubine Xian.

In a panic, Zhiqi was afraid that Gu Yunxi was about to fall and supported her in a hurry.

Jieyu Jiang did not refuse but directly held the cup in her arms. Then she gave it to her Chief Maid Yiran.

Concubine Xian was angry, staring at Jieyu Jiang with round eyes. She said aggressively.

"Well, Sister, why do always you go against me? Sister Yun says this cup belongs to me. Why do you take it!"

Jieyu Jiang raised her head and looked proud.

"Based on the rules of the game, it belongs to who grabs it. Sister, you should admit defeat for the bet."

"You! You..."

"Well, well. We can't be angry with each other for these mere worldly possessions. Just now I didn't stand stably, so..."

Gu Yunxi covered her mouth and smiled. Looking down at the faces of the two concubines who were arguing on the stool, she continued to pretend to be kind.

"Sister Concubine Xian, isn't there a blue jade Kylin furnace and glass lotus trotting horse lamp here? I'll give them to you. Come on, none of you will rob again this time."

Gu Yunxi carefully turned to the locker and tiptoed to reach for the lamp at the top of the locker.

Concubine Xian stood on the ground and watched Gu Yunxi carefully. She always felt that Gu Yunxi was not tall enough to reach what they want.

In fact, she did not know that Gu Yunxi was deliberately saving time to wait for someone.

Concubine Xian was really impatient and wanted to get the lamp as quickly as possible.

She gulped and looked up.

"Sister Yun, come down. Let me go to fetch it."

"Okay!"

Gu Yunxi looked aside and saw a man in bright yellow come to the inner garden. She went down the stool and Concubine Xian went up.

She was taller and got the object she wanted without standing on tiptoe.

On the ground, Gu Yunxi was helpful.

"Sister, let me help you. Be careful."

Not knowing it was a trap, Concubine Xian gave the lamp to Gu Yunxi.

With a crunch sound, the lamp fell on the ground, directly broken into several pieces.

Everyone was shocked.

Concubine Xian was utterly discomfited. She pointed at Gu Yunxi and shouted.

"You. Why do you fail to take it firmly?"

With tears in her eyes, Gu Yunxi said softly.

"Sister, don't be angry. I'm sorry..."

Huanan Xin rushed into the hall in panic.

"What happened? Yunxi? Where is Yunxi?"

Gu Yunxi then fell on the ground and covered her chest with her hands. She looked pale out of breath.

This scared Dong Zhu and Zhiqi. They ran up, holding her shoulder and shouted.

"Master, what happened... Master!"

"She must be frightened by Concubine Xian's blame. Send for the Imperial Doctor!"

Zhiqi deliberately passed the information to Huanan Xin, and urged Che to the Imperial Hospital.

All the concubines and maids went down on their knees in panic.

Seeing the mess in the hall and Gu Yunxi's painful expression, Huanan Xin was suddenly distressed and got angry with those concubines.

"What's wrong? Tell me. What's wrong—”

Concubine Xian was sincere. She lowered her head and explained humbly and frightenedly.

"Your Majesty, it's my fault. I went up to reach things and scared Sister Yun."

Gu Yunxi said faintly and softly.

"It's not your fault. It's very rare for you to come. It's Jingyang Palace's honor that you like the items here. I voluntarily give them to you. How can I blame you?"

"Well. You have nothing to do and now actually bully my beloved concubine?!"

Huanan Xin kicked Concubine Xian's chest heavily and then scolded.

"Get out! Pass my oral decree. Concubine Xian and the other four concubines are haughty because of my love and indulgence. They will be grounded for half a month and have no salary for one year."

"Your Majesty, no! Please—"

"Your majesty, have mercy on me. I dare not..."

In the Palace, cries came out.

“Take them away—"

The emperor waved hands disgustedly and held Gu Yunxi straight to the bedroom.
