The concubines in the palace were originally very afraid of this Concubine Duan.
Among this batch of concubines who entered the palace, Concubine Duan had the highest family background and the highest status.
In these years, the Emperor had rarely taken in high-ranking concubines into the palace. Most of them were young and beautiful, raised in the palace for novelty.
This Concubine Duan came out of nowhere, and many concubines regarded her as a great enemy.
"Your Highness, look, which one of us didn't slowly climb up from the lowest talent? This one from the Left Prime Minister's Manor …"
The Empress took a sip of tea unhurriedly and gently put the teacup on the short table beside her, interrupting the words on the other side.
This was a concubine who had been favored in the past two months. Obviously, she was worried that Lu Xi would affect her favor after entering the palace.
The Empress said slowly, "Thunder and rain are all the grace of the Emperor. It's better not to guess the Emperor's thoughts. "
The concubine's face turned pale. She knew that the Empress was knocking on her head. She didn't dare to speak anymore and left after sitting for a while.
The Empress closed her eyes quietly as if nothing had happened.
After half a month, everyone in the harem understood that the Emperor definitely didn't confer this Concubine Duan because he liked her.
If he really liked her, how could he enter the palace for half a month without flipping the plate once?
Since he didn't like her, why did he take her into the palace?
No one could guess the Emperor's thoughts on this question.
"Miss …"
Lu Xi looked at her personal maid's embarrassed face and understood.
Sure enough, looking at the half-dead dishes on the table, Lu Xi lowered her eyes.
In the past half a month, she had almost tasted the coldness and warmth of human nature that she had not faced in more than ten years.
When she first entered the palace, the things she got in the palace were not the best, but only slightly inferior to those high-ranking concubines and favored concubines. There were often people who came to visit the palace where she lived.
But seeing that the Emperor never had the intention to come here, the palace gradually became quiet.
Not only was it quiet, but even the daily rations and rewards in the palace were getting worse day by day.
On the surface, there was no change, but on the inside, there was a world of difference.
This was the harem.
This was the difference between having a pet and not having one.
When she first entered the palace, her heart was filled with endless resistance. She thought that if the Emperor summoned her, she would find an excuse to refuse.
But now, she had already begun to think of ways to gain his favor.
The change in people's hearts only took half a month.
Unfortunately, what Lu Xi didn't know was that from the moment the Emperor issued that imperial edict, she was destined to never have the chance to be favored.
That was just a punishment given to her for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.
Spring passed and autumn came.
A year passed.
In the harem, there were countless new people entering, and many old people dimming in obscurity.
Not many people remembered this concubine Duan who had almost no sense of existence.
Lu Xi, who had not gone out for a long time, looked at the sunlight outside and had the rare thought of going out for a walk.
At this hour, he shouldn't have met anyone, right?
Living in the palace for a year had taught her how to keep a low profile.
As she thought about it, she tidied up and walked out with her personal palace maid.
Just as she walked to the Imperial Garden, Lu Xi saw a group of people on the opposite side.
