Xue Rongs words were clearly intended for Jia Lian to hear, and the other imperial consorts also understood that the empress was still in power behind the scenes, and they couldnt afford to offend her.

  Yu Yu Yu echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, the empress is the master of this place. No matter how talented they are, they cant be arrogant for long. In the end, they still have to follow the empresss face."

  "Its enough that you know!" Xue Rong exchanged a smile with the palace maid next to her, and there was actually a triumphant smile on her face: "Yu Niangniang, which young lady here is the fourth miss of the Yan family?"

  "Xue Rong young lady was originally looking for Miss Yan," Yu Niang understood in her heart, turned her head to face Yan Xiu Jun and said: "Miss Yan, the Empress Dowager has sent someone to see you."

  "Oh," Yan Xijun responded faintly, raising her eyes to glance at Yue and the two palace maids. They were originally palace maids by her sisters side, what were they doing here? She didnt believe for a moment that her sister had such good intentions, sending people to show concern for her, after entering the palace for so long, the two of them hadnt even seen each other once.

  Xue Rong had secretly sized up Yan Xijun before, seeing that her eyebrows and eyes looked a bit like those of the princess, except that the princess was not as beautiful as this young lady. He had already guessed her identity in his heart.

  She walked past Yan Xian and bowed to her, saying respectfully: "Miss Yan, I pay my respects to you!"

  Yan Xijun waved her hand and slightly furrowed her eyebrows, directly asking: "What business does sister have for sending you over here?"

  Xue Rong was taken aback for a moment before reacting, thinking to herself: How can she speak so directly? Doesnt she have a good relationship with the princess?

  Xue Rong smiled slightly: "Miss Yan, Her Majesty knows youve entered the palace, shes very concerned about you......"

  Yan Xijun said impatiently: "To put it bluntly, dont mention those irrelevant things."

  Xue Rongs eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment, and she looked at Yan Xizhen with a complex expression. She bit her lip and said: "The empress has sent me to inform you that since you are new to the palace, it is inevitable that there will be many things you dont know how to handle. To avoid mistakes in the future, a palace maid will be assigned to serve you. As for the maidservant you brought with you, she will be taken away and follow me and the empress to learn more about handling affairs and etiquette. After the selection of the imperial concubines is over, she will be returned to your side."

  Yan Xijun and Wen Qin were both shocked as they stared at Xue Rong, she had indeed come here with a purpose.

  "Miss," Wen Qin anxiously pulled at Yan Xijuns wide sleeve, looking pitifully at her and saying: "Miss, I dont want to leave you!"

  Yan Xijun pulled down Wen Qins hand and grasped it in her palm, comforting: "Dont worry, I wont let you leave me!"

  "Please reply to my sister on my behalf and tell her that I wont let anyone take away Wenqin, if she needs discipline, it will be me who disciplines her personally."

  Xue Rong looked at Yan Xi with a serious expression, not as if she was joking. She slightly furrowed her brow and thought for a moment before saying: "Miss Yan, you must think carefully about this. This is the empresss order, no one is allowed to disobey it. Moreover, the empresss actions are for your own good, as well as for the good of your maid, Lu Ying. If we dont teach her some principles and experience, she may find it difficult to survive in the future."

  Yan Xijun thought what she said made sense, Wenqin was such a simple person, if she didnt learn some experience in dealing with things, she would eventually suffer losses, and when the time came, not only would she implicate herself, but also harm her.

  Yan Xijun hesitated in her heart, finally made a decision, and said to Xue Rong: "Alright, I agree to let you take away Wenqin, but you must treat her well, absolutely cannot let her suffer any grievances. If I find out that you have mistreated her, I will not forgive you."

  Xue Rong smiled and said: "Miss Yan, dont worry, we wont make things difficult for her with the empress, shes one of us after all!" The last sentence was spoken with deep meaning.

  "This is Xue Lian, the palace maid. For this period of time, she will be in charge of your daily life and serve you!" Snow Rong said to Yan Xiu Jun, pulling over the palace maid behind her.

  Yan Xijun glanced at the palace maid called Xue Lian, seeing that she was plain in appearance, shy and reserved, very constrained, should be a honest and loyal person!

  "Miss Yan, from now on Ill be serving you, please take care of me!" Xue Lian lowered her head in embarrassment and respectfully said to Yan Xi Jun.

  "Hmm!" Yan Xijun wasnt a fool, she knew exactly what her sister was up to. She had just found someone nearby to keep an eye on her, and the more honest Snow Lian was, the less likely she would betray her sister. Her sister really knew how to choose people!

  "Miss...... I......"

  Yan Xijun turned her head to see Wenqin looking at her with a pleading expression, her hesitant appearance already made it clear in her mind. She comfortingly grasped Wenqins hand: "Wenqin, just follow her with peace of mind, the Empress and this sister wont make things difficult for you. Once youve learned the skills, Ill need your protection."

  "Alright, miss, you have to wait for me!" Wen Qin finally let go of her hand and followed Xue Rong as she walked away.

  By the way: On New Years Day, I wish all relatives a happy new year and happiness forever!
