"Anran doesn't know, please enlighten me, esteemed imperial concubine!" Shi Anran replied in a neither humble nor haughty manner.

Seeing her expression, Li Ruolan was still somewhat unhappy in her heart, and said slowly: "Because I can't bear to see you act so high and mighty, so this servant should have the appearance of a servant. What's the point of pretending to be like this all day?"

In contrast to Li Ruolan's passionate speech, Shi Anran remained unmoved as she said: "Anran has been well-mannered since primary school."

Li Ruolan's expression changed as a dangerous look appeared in her eyes, "Are you saying that there is no etiquette in this palace? You brave Shi Anran, I really want to see how long your tough bones can hold out for. "

Shi Anran knew that there were a lot of things that even if she wanted to avoid them, it was impossible. If there was a day when she was in a high position, she wouldn't need to be treated like that.

After arriving at the Phoenix Maiden Palace, Li Ruolan used her words of opposing the imperial concubine to punish Shi Anran for standing in the courtyard. It was noon, and the sun was too hot. Even a strong man wouldn't be able to handle a weak girl, much less one with a weak hand.

Li Ruolan sat at the end of the long corridor, lazily lying on the soft bed. There were servants helping her peel the grapes, their posture looked really uncomfortable. At this moment, she looked at the people below with a smile on her face, and said with a bland voice: "Shi Anran, don't you plan on begging me?"

"What mistake did Anran make?" Facing the blazing sun, Shi Anran's face was already completely red from the sun.

"Good …" Very well, you can continue to stand here! When will the anger in my heart subside, and you can leave again! " With that, Li Ruolan waved her sleeve, stood up and slowly walked in.

Looking at Li Ruolan's back view, Shi Anran laughed coldly in her heart, she had endured past the complicated matters, she did not want to ruin her plan because of this.

"Aunt Anran, what's the big deal if you ask for forgiveness from the Empress? Our women aren't as important as the dignity of men, so standing down like this isn't really a solution! " A kind-hearted young palace maid whispered to her.

Shi Anran did not think so, she only laughed lightly, and no matter what she said, Li Ruolan would not let her off that easily. Seeing this, the little palace maid felt that she did not know what was good for her and left after saying a few words in a low voice.

"What should we do now?" Xiu Er was anxious.

Cui Yun asked in puzzlement: "What's wrong?"

"I heard from my sisters that Master had been brought over by the Imperial Noble Consort Lan. I wonder where she had angered the Imperial Noble Consort Lan, and now she is being punished!"

Hearing this, Cui Yun frowned: "It's best if we don't go over right now, otherwise we will only create trouble for Aunt. If Imperial Noble Consort Lan is unhappy, the punishment for Aunt might be even heavier!" The Imperial Noble Consort Lan was originally here for her aunt, did she really have to worry about not being able to find a reason to punish?

"But the sun is so high, I'm worried that Master won't be able to take it!"

"Xiu Er, don't worry, aunt will go to the morning assembly with the emperor everyday. I believe the Imperial Noble Consort Lan won't do anything to aunt, if the emperor sees anything, she won't be able to explain it …" After Cui Yun patted her hands and said that, she busied herself with her own stuff.

Xiu Er looked at Cui Yun's back as she walked out. She had a nagging feeling that Cui Yun was different now. Could it be that Mistress brought her out of the palace and gave her something?

The reason why Shi Anran did not open her mouth to beg for forgiveness was just as Cui Yun thought. She was certain that the Imperial Noble Consort Lan did not dare to do anything to him now, as she was a popular person in front of the Emperor after all.

"Yo, isn't this Shi Anran? Do you have such a day?" Just as Shi Anran was in a daze, Li Ruoxue walked over with a laugh. She circled around her once, then raised her fair chin to look at her: "Even with this appearance, you're still so arrogant. Just where did your arrogance come from?"

"Young Master Li, please don't forget your identity."

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk …" You can't even take care of yourself, and you're still reminding others? Shi Anran, wait until I become your master before coming back to teach you a lesson, just in case your mouth is still so eloquent, making others dislike you. " Li Ruoxue groaned, seeing that she was being punished, she was especially pleased in her heart.

Shi Anran said as she curled her refined lips, "Then, I wish that Little Master Li can become master soon!"

Hearing this, Li Ruoxue became even more happy: "I'll take your blessing!"

"Ruoxue!" Li Ruolan saw that it was about time, and did not want Shi Anran to really get into trouble, as the emperor was currently worrying about the war, she did not want to cause any trouble at the moment.

"Elder sister, I heard that this maid displeased you. Why is she the only one being punished? Isn't this punishment a bit too light?" Li Ruoxue took her arm.

Li Ruolan glanced at the expressionless Shi Anran, and then said softly: "The most interesting part is yet to come, don't worry, big sister will definitely avenge you!"

After that, Li Ruoxue relaxed, she looked at Shi Anran meaningfully, and said slowly: "The more I look at this woman, the more I hate her. Elder sister, is there any way to discipline her, the best way is to get rid of her!"

"Ruoxue …" Li Ruolan called out with displeasure.

Knowing that she had gone overboard with her words, Li Ruoxue pouted. "I just don't like her, ever since the first time I saw her, I've always felt disgusted with her!"

"Alright, even though the emperor sent her to my side now, she's still the emperor's maid. It wouldn't be good if I went too far." "If you don't like her, then elder sister has plenty of ways to make her stay in the palace from now on. Now, you have to take it one step at a time, it's not good to be too anxious."

"Yes, big sister, you have to help me, if not Shi Anran will bully me in the future!" Li Ruoxue was the youngest daughter of the family, and she had always been arrogant and willful.

Li Ruolan nodded her head and replied: "Let's return to the storage palace first. If there's nothing else, don't look for me at the Phoenix Nest Palace, in case anyone decides to speak ill of you and spread it to the Emperor."

"I understand. Elder sister, take care. You must give the emperor a fat and white little prince. Let's see who still dares to speak up on elder sister's head like this."

This was without a doubt Li Ruolan's intention, and right away, her lips curved up in a smile as she said, "Big sister also had the same intentions."

Time passed bit by bit, Shi Anran only felt dizzy from being scorched by the sun, not because her body was extremely delicate, but because she did not sleep well last night and did not have much energy, now standing still made her entire body feel weak.

"Alright, it's about time. You can leave now. However, I still have to remind you." "You should know your limits. Do whatever you need to do with your identity. Don't try to climb higher, because the higher you climb, the more miserable you will fall!" After Li Ruolan said these words in a neither fast nor slow manner, she elegantly turned around and left.
