Chapter 2

If anyone knows how to dance this dance, they will be in the limelight.

I jumped at a palace banquet in my previous life.

Your Majesty is overjoyed, and I am immediately crowned as a concubine.

Later, she lost her life because of her younger sister.

A few days ago at the palace banquet, everyone was drinking and eating crabs. At the end, the eunuch approached the emperor and whispered to him which concubine's palace he was going to rest in tonight.

As the emperor was about to say my name, Wanning suddenly emerged from her position and interrupted the emperor.

She took off her outer robe and revealed a gauze skirt.

"My concubine recently learned a dance, specifically for today's sake of gaining the emperor's attention."

Wanning was dancing gracefully in the center of the palace, her skirt fabric was slightly transparent, revealing a large area of snow-white skin. Her graceful figure made the emperor look foolish for a moment.

"Hu Mei Zi. Qing Guiren, is the daughter taught by your Prime Minister's Mansion like this usually?" exclaimed Empress Yun

I replied, "Report to Empress Yun that my younger sister did this just to please Your Majesty. Sharing your worries is our duty as concubines. My younger sister only did her duty."

A few people with a hot temper said, "What a good Xu Wanning. She was so promiscuous at the palace banquet, where did she leave us?"

"The emperor likes it, what's the solution?"

Sure enough, the emperor couldn't take his eyes off.

At the end of the song, Wanning suddenly fell and knelt heavily on the main hall, and the emperor watched the beauty cry.

Hurry up and say, "What's wrong with Empress Ai?"

Wanning's face was adorned with a tear that couldn't be shed. She pitifully said, "I want to dance this dance for Your Majesty. I have been practicing day and night and injured my ankle, but I don't want the Emperor to be disappointed. I deliberately endured the pain and finished the dance. Will the Emperor still be happy?"

The emperor was moved upon hearing this, and he walked forward and picked up Wanning horizontally. "It's hard for you to have such a heart," he said. "I am delighted. Compared to this dance, I am even more delighted with my beloved concubine's heart."

Wanning smiled and pounded the emperor's chest, "The emperor is used to making fun of my concubine. If the emperor likes my concubine's intentions, I will show you my intentions every day."

The two of them flirted and left, while Wan Ning nestled in the arms of the emperor. When they left, she didn't forget to give me a mocking look.

I know what she means.

Today in my previous life was the beginning when I won against her.

In this life, she means she won against me this time, and there will be many more times in the future.

Since she was taken back to the mansion, she likes to confront me.

I think I have enjoyed her wealth and glory for her, and she has suffered for me in the countryside.

I thought the same way at first, so I gave her everything.

But she is not satisfied.

Take my jewelry, my dress, my shop.

Later on, it took away everything I had planned hard, even my life.

Now, she can finally beat me.

Sure enough, the emperor stayed overnight in the Wanning Palace for several days in the following days.

Not only me, but also other concubines have never been to the palace.

A month later, Wanning rose to a higher position and was conferred the title of noble.

At once, there was no difference in popularity.

That day, she came to my palace and watched me bow to her with a low eyebrow.

Sitting proudly in the main seat, not letting me get up.

"My sister and I entered the palace together. I am already a noble person, but my sister is still a little talented person."

"The title of the most beautiful woman in the capital, but that's all. You have become a king and defeated a bandit, and my sister is not up to par with her parents' high expectations of you."

She walked around my room and took the jewelry from my dressing table.

"Anyway, the emperor is not coming. My sister has these good things. I might as well give them to my sisters, who is dressed up beautifully. Maybe she can help her in the future!"

After Wanning left, my maid Ziluo was so angry that she wiped away her tears.

"Little Lord, I know that the world is desolate, but I never expected that the first person to step on us in this palace would be Miss Er. When the palace was elected, the emperor liked our little Lord. Our little Lord was the first to serve in the palace. If it weren't for this, I suggested that Your Majesty go to Miss Er's place. Where would she have the opportunity to come?"

I smiled and took a pastry from the table, stuffing it into Ziluo's mouth.

"I suggested to Your Majesty not to help her."

Ziluo looked at me in confusion.

At the beginning of the temple selection, the Xu family sisters entered the palace, which was eye-catching. In addition, I have only been famous in the capital for many years, so my reputation is very prosperous.

Both Your Majesty and the imperial concubines have always been the focus of my attention.

And I am the first one to serve as a dormitory attendant.

My attention is too much.

I want someone to help me distribute these things.

Wanning is this person. Since she wants these things, why bother giving them to her?

Just look at her, can you catch her.
