"We lost!"
"We lost!" Ming Yu cried out when she saw Lei Bingfu kick the ball into the goal. She was so tired that she sat on the ground. "Lei Guiren, how could you say that you're not good at it? The two of you have already beaten the four of us. If you say that you're not good at it, then what are we?"
Lei Bingfu smiled as she wiped the sweat off her forehead. She used to be good at it, but after her rebirth, the Lei family was very strict with the girls. They didn't even let her touch it. Today was her first time playing it, and it was all based on her previous memories. She was already a lot rusty.
"I didn't play well today," Lei Bingfu said with a smile. "When I was your age, I didn't know anything."
"You speak as if you're much older than us." Ming Yu smiled. "We don't usually have the chance to practice. Many people in the girls' college don't like to play."
Lei Bingfu walked over and held Ming Yu's hand. "I'm indeed older than you."
And a lot older.
"Lei Guiren, did you often play at home?" Zhou Huihui asked curiously.
"No, not often," Lei Bingfu said with a smile. "Occasionally."
Ming Yu said, "We can play often in the future."
Just as she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Murong Ke standing outside the court, looking at them silently.
"Father …" Ming Yu waved happily at Murong Ke.
Only then did Lei Bingfu notice the man standing not far away. She turned to look. The man in bright yellow clothes was majestic and domineering, but his gaze was gentle as he looked at the girl beside her.
"Father, why are you here?" Ming Yu ran over and stood in front of Murong Ke with a smile.
"I'm sweating profusely." Murong Ke reached out to wipe the sweat off Ming Yu's face. "Are you happy?"
Ming Yu's eyes sparkled as she nodded vigorously. "Yes."
Lei Bingfu and the others had already walked over and bowed to Murong Ke. "This concubine greets Your Majesty."
"Get up." Murong Ke's gaze turned to Lei Bingfu and landed on her slender and tall body.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lei Bingfu stood up and stood to the side. Her eyes were clear and calm. She did not look at Murong Ke. She only lowered her eyes and stood there gracefully.
Although it was already the end of spring, the weather was still slightly chilly. Murong Ke said to Ming Yu, "Quickly go back and change your clothes, lest you catch a cold."
"Alright." Ming Yu smiled and nodded. She waved at Lei Bingfu and the rest before being brought back by Ning Xiang and the rest.
After Xie Lanyue and the rest bowed to Murong Ke, they also retreated.
Lei Bingfu took a deep breath and looked at the yellow figure who had turned and left. This man … really made people feel pressured.
After returning to the palace, Lei Bingfu had just changed her clothes when the imperial edict arrived.
Because she saved Princess Ming Yu, she became Hui Pin.
Everyone in Jianjia Palace was very happy. Currently, there was only one concubine in the palace. Including their masters, there were only two concubines. The Emperor should have noticed their concubine now. In the future, there might be even greater blessings.
"Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness." All the palace maids smiled at Lei Bingfu.
"Today is a good day. Everyone will be rewarded." Lei Bingfu held the imperial edict in her hands. She was not surprised that Murong Ke would give her a promotion. Although it was for his daughter, it was still a good start.
A palace maid came forward to support Lei Bingfu's arm. "Your Highness, this servant heard that Shen Guipin has been ordered to be grounded."
"En?" Lei Bingfu was slightly stunned. "Didn't the order to lift the ban?"
"This servant also heard that in the morning, that person was summoned to Palace of Heavenly Purity. When she returned, her complexion was very bad. Now, she has been grounded in Chuxiu Palace." The palace maid said in a low voice.
That was unusual!
Lei Bingfu looked at everyone sternly. "Regarding anything related to Palace of Heavenly Purity, you are not allowed to inquire about it, including news about Shen Guipin. I hope that you all remember your duties. You only need to serve this consort well. As for other matters, if this consort did not ask you to do them, it is best not to act on your own."
"Yes, Your Highness." The palace maid, who had wanted to curry favor, was startled. She suddenly felt that they had inquired about something they shouldn't have.
"This consort knows that all of you are wholeheartedly working for me, but walls have ears. Sometimes, one wrong word is enough to consign all of you to eternal damnation. It is most important to take care of yourself." Lei Bingfu softened her tone and spoke to everyone in a low voice.
"We will follow Your Highness' teachings."
… …
… …
The news that Lei Bingfu had been promoted to Huipin quickly spread. This was a result that had long been expected. That day in the Imperial Garden, many people had personally seen Lei Bingfu save Ming Yu. However, it still made many people in the palace red-eyed with jealousy.
"Who would have thought that Lei Bingfu would stand up for her. Humph, if she hadn't saved the princess, when would it have been her turn?" After being cooped up in her room for a few days, she finally received the order to lift the ban. The jieyu who usually liked to gather and talk all came to Liu Jieyu's residence and spoke in low voices in the courtyard.
They had only found out last night that Lei Bingfu had become Huipin. After suppressing their dissatisfaction for an entire night, they finally found someone to talk to.
"Isn't that right? In the past, how would the princess have known who she was? If it weren't for the fact that we weren't at the pavilion that day, she wouldn't have had the chance to stand up for her." Liu Jieyu said through gritted teeth. She had spent so much effort to get close to Shen Huan 'er so that she could use Shen Huan' er to make the princess notice her. In the end, her efforts had been in vain and Lei Bingfu had taken advantage of it.
"Have you all heard? Shen Huan 'er seems to still be grounded. "Li Jieyu lowered her voice." I don't know what she did wrong. "
Liu Jieyu's eyes flashed. "I heard, but I don't know if it's true or not. When she first entered the palace, she was in the limelight, but just like us, she has never served His Majesty."
When it came to serving His Majesty, everyone's eyes lit up.
They had been in the palace for so long, but His Majesty had never asked them to serve him in bed. Even if their positions were different now, they seemed to be the same. His Majesty didn't care about any of them.
"Being the first to serve His Majesty is definitely different," Liu Jieyu said in a low voice, her eyes filled with determination.
She had to think of a way to make the emperor notice her.
However, His Majesty didn't like to come to the inner palace. Even if he came, he only went to find Princess Ming Yu.
"We still have a chance." Li Jieyu said with a smile.
She and Liu Jieyu looked at each other and saw the raging fire in each other's eyes.
"Right now, the best chance has already been taken by Lei Bingfu. She even accompanied the princess to the court yesterday. It seems that His Majesty also went to the court yesterday." One of Jieyu muttered in a low voice.
"In order to please the princess, she really can do anything. Is court court something that girls should do?" Liu Jieyu snorted in disdain. "She's teaching the princess bad things."
