Surrounded by the overlapping eyes around her, Gu Yunxi's face remained unchanged. Compared with all kinds of stunned and confused imperial concubines, she was calm.

In the world, which woman did not value chastity?

In the eyes of many concubines, the noble concubine in front of them was a figure with a halo on her head. She was the Emperor's favorite imperial concubine with thousands of favors. How could she be tainted?

What did second marriage mean?

Could it be that such a beautiful woman had married someone else before she entered the Palace to serve the Emperor?

How was this possible?

For a time, the tulip garden was quiet all around. The imperial concubines looked at each other. Some people gathered their hands, others frowned, and each looked embarrassed.

The two slender figures of Gu Yunxi and Commandery Princess Jingle stood still in the thin orange sunset halo.

Gu Yunxi's eyes were bright, and she was calm without the slightest anger or shame.

Her lips raised like a crescent moon. Although her smile was gentle, her eyes were sharp, like two sparks, which could start a prairie fire in an instant.

"Your Highness, who did you just say?"

Gu Yunxi smiled and tilted her head slightly. Her cold eyes like a blade forced the girl to death, and her voice was quiet.

Jingle embraces her arms and her face was full of complacency. She glared round her two bright eyes and raised her chiselled jaw as if to answer the sky.

"Of course, I'm talking about you. Others don't know you, but I clearly understand you in detail.

You were clearly married before you entered the palace. Even if your husband died because of you, you seduced my brother with your seductive skill.

It was he who took pity on you that picked you up from the outside. Like the cats and dogs in the palace, he only kept you as a toy. Do you really think you are his favorite imperial concubine?"

"Your Highness, you can't be so rude!"

Zhiqi was on Gu Yunxi's side. Naturally, she couldn't bear her master being maligned by others.

With red eyes, she confided to Commandery Princess Jingle and was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears.

"Am I rude or is she rude?"

Commandery Princess Jingle hissed, shook her head and sneered back.

"Does she dare to take care of my business as a b*tch? Is she qualified? Yuexin, Xingmu, let's go, I'll pick flowers with you!"

The girl's young and exquisite little face was full of disdain. She finished her words with high toes, raised her skirt and walked away.

"Stop!"

The sudden sound of anger frightened the girl. She stopped in panic, half opened her mouth, and her eyes trembled without attention.

The color of cold in Gu Yunxi's eyes became more intense. Without a moment's hesitation, she pointed directly at the girl opposite and said in a deep voice.

"Che, go and slap her mouth for me!"

The air seemed stagnant and filled with lead. The pressure made the people stiff and speechless.

Lady-in-waiting Zhang's eyes were filled with horror. She kept pulling Gu Yunxi's water gauze sleeve, frowned at her and shook her head, indicating that she should not act recklessly.

Gu Yunxi ignored, her angry eyes locked Jingle, and she said to the eunuch in an aggravating tone.

"Go quickly!"

Che was half bent and looked very embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he moved reluctantly and slowly walked against Commandery Princess Jingle.

"What are you doing? Don't make people laugh if you want to hit me!"

Commandery Princess Jingle didn't pay attention to such cowards at all. Before he came to her, she first raised her skirt to meet him, shook her hand and slapped the eunuch in the face.

With a cry of "ouch", the eunuch covered half his cheeks and knelt on the ground, afraid to move.

"Ha-ha..."

Commandery Princess Jingle was so happy that she was laughing freely. She suddenly felt a gust of fragrance coming to her face, and then two crisp slaps fell on her face, which made her ears tingle.

She was dizzy immediately. Her face seemed to have been cut by a knife. After the numbness on her face, it was a burning pain.

The maids screamed constantly. The three surrounded Commandery Princess Jingle and hurriedly persuaded her and checked the injury on her face.

The girl was so angry that she pushed away the palace maids and rushed to Gu Yunxi with saber-rattling.

"Well, you b*tch dare to hit me!"

Gu Yunxi's eyes narrowed. She grabbed the girl's tender wrist resulting from the anger with one hand quickly and accurately, and pulled it a few times. Then she slapped her by the other hand on the girl's swollen face and knocked her back to the ground.

Gu Yunxi lost her martial arts after being schemed by Huanan Xian, but she didn't lose much agility and strength when she beat someone.

At least it was easy for her to deal with a little girl.

The girl suddenly got three slaps in the face, and her beautiful face swelled. On her white and tender skin, the purple and red prints of her five fingers overlapped, the bead hairpin on her head was crooked, and the hair was loose.

She slowly wiped the corners of her mouth with her fingertips and saw blood on it. The girl gasped and cried.

"Why did you hit me, you b*tch? Xingmu, Yuexin and Zifeng, stab the b*tch's face with a hairpin and tear her mouth!"

The three palace maids were trembling, and no one dared to beat Gu Yunxi. Especially when they faced the two cold and murderous eyes of Gu Yunxi, they all bowed their heads silently and dared not breathe more.

Jingle trembled with anger and sat on the ground crying and scolding.

"Alas, you dirty woman dares to hurt me. Later, I will go back to my brother and let him put you in the Cold Palace.

I also want to tell Her Grace to let the eunuch strip off your clothes and throw you out of the palace. You dirty woman..."

The anger in her heart cooled down a lot. Gu Yunxi took a leisurely step and walked around the crying girl. She looked at her embarrassment with cold eyes and made a definite statement.

"Hum, I am a rank-third concubine. I can beat you at any time."

"You!"

"What am I? Emperor Renxian loves me so much that he entitles me as a rank-third imperial concubine. And you are just a Commandery Princess. Since you call the Emperor your brother, you should call me 'sister-in-law' when you see me.

Now you don't respect me. You not only shout in front of me, but also dare to slander me."

Gu Yunxi crouched down, getting closer and closer to Commandery Princess Jingle, and asked her softly.

"You know, if you curse me, you curse His Majesty and ignore the imperial family? You say, should I beat you as your imperial sister-in-law?"

The girl's spirit was suddenly frustrated. She looked at Gu Yunxi's peach blossom face with a cold smile. Her throat tightened and didn't say anything again.

Gu Yunxi resolutely got up and stepped back with a cool smile.

"I beat you to teach you how to be a person. Get up. We are a family, so you don't have to thank me."

The girl sprawled on the ground, and her trembling limbs were too soft to climb up. Finally, she was carried away by the palace maids.

Gu Yunxi looked up at the sky, turned around and put on a gentle smiling face and said to the dumb concubines.

"It's getting late. I'm going back for dinner. If someone wants to go back with me, I'd like to cook some good dishes myself and have fun with everyone."

"I will go!"

Lady-in-waiting Zhang jumped and took the lead in raising her hand.

"I'll go too!"

"I also want to taste the dishes made by Sister Yun!"

The imperial concubines responded one after another.

Gu Yunxi smiled and glanced at the crowd.

"That's good, sisters. Let's go together."
