"Yan Zhaorong, the lady of Chu State invites you to visit Shouyancheng Palace." Without even a greeting, Zhaorong directly said to her who was sitting by the window.

  "What does the Princess of Chu want with me?" This matter was a bit suspicious, Yan Xijun couldn't help but ask clearly. She had no connection with the Princess of Chu, so why would she suddenly be summoned to her palace?

  Rong Min's face was expressionless: "I don't know, the old lady didn't tell me, she just asked me to come and invite you over."

  She furrowed her good-looking eyebrows, Yan Xikun looked at this palace maid called Rong Min, she must know why the Madame of Chu State had called her over, it's just that she didn't want to say.

  Isn't this matter stirred up by that woman Jia Lian again? Forget it, let's just go and meet them!

  The decision was made, Yan Xikun stood up and said to Wenqin: "Wenqin, you stay here, I'll go with Xuelian to see Madame Chu."

  "Master...!" Worriedly gazing at her master, Xīn Qín said with unease in her heart.

  "It's okay!" He comforted her with a smile and then said to Xue Leng, "Let's go!"

  "Yes." The two of them followed that Rong Min out, Wen Qin stood in the original place thinking for a moment, and finally still rushed to Kun Ning Palace.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, when they arrived at Shouyang Palace, they found that Jia Lian also happened to be there.

  Yan Xijun didn't dare to look at the old lady sitting on the high platform, and bowed her head respectfully: "Yan Zhaorong has seen Madame Chu, congratulations to the elderly lady!"

  After knocking her head on the ground seriously and finishing the ceremony, Yan Xijun didn't see her get up either. The elder hadn't spoken, so she didn't dare to get up rashly.

  "Old madam, why haven't you called Yan Mei up yet? Aren't you afraid that Yan Mei's knees will hurt from kneeling for too long and the Emperor will be heartbroken?"

  A soft and charming voice came, causing Yan Xijun to raise her head in surprise. Only then did she see that on the left lower side of Madame Chu Guo, there was also a beautiful woman wearing purple clothes, who looked about the same age as her sister.

  "Xian Fei sister, you don't know this, but the fox spirit kneeling on the ground is arrogant and domineering. If we don't teach her a lesson, she won't know the height of heaven and earth." Jia Li Fen explained to Zhang Xian Fei with an unpleasant tone while looking at Yan Xi Jun.

  "Oh, really?" Zhang Xianfei absent-mindedly picked up a cup of tea and took a small sip, but her sly eyes glanced at the person kneeling on the ground, and with just one glance, it stirred up the jealousy that was brewing in her heart.

  This woman took advantage of her absence to seduce the emperor, who had previously favored only her. The emperor even praised her skills in bed, saying she could serve him comfortably.

  If it weren't for accompanying the Empress to burn incense on Mount Wutai, I'm afraid the Emperor would still only favor her alone and wouldn't have first been robbed of his affection by that lowly Concubine Guo, and now also being robbed of the Emperor's love by this little vixen Yan.

  Yan Xijun knelt on the ground, her mind racing with thoughts. The woman who was called "Sister Xianfei" by Jia Lixiang turned out to be her arch-nemesis, Zhang Xiaoyan, who had married Chu Yixuan at the same time as her sister. Back then, she was just a concubine, but now she was already a noble consort under the empress, Yan Xijun's sister. Today, it seemed like there was no escape from this predicament, facing off against both her own arch-nemesis and that of her sister.

  As expected, the most noble elderly woman in the harem finally opened her golden mouth. She slowly said: "Yan Zhaorong, you have been in the palace for several months, but you still haven't gotten to know me and Zhang Xianfei well. How about this, you present us with two cups of tea as a greeting?"

  "Yes." Yan Xijun knelt down and moved forward, she knelt beside the tea table, poured two cups of tea, and then with Xue Lian's help, presented them to Madame Chugu.

  "Old lady, have some tea!" Yan Xijun lowered her head and knelt down, presenting a full cup of hot tea in front of her.

  A flash of cunning appeared in the eyes of the Chu State woman, she stretched out her hand and deliberately didn't catch it steadily. With a "clatter" sound, a full cup of hot tea suddenly splashed onto Yan Xijun's body. The scalding hot water flowed down along the open collar, and when it came into contact with her smooth skin, it scalded her facial features into a frown.

  "Master." Xue Lian hastily put down the tray in her hand, took out a handkerchief and anxiously wiped away the scalding hot tea from Master's body.

  "Ah yo, Yan Zhaorong, I didn't do it on purpose." The Chu State lady pretended to be innocent and shouted loudly while coldly looking at the disheveled Yan Xikun.

  "Are you okay?!" Without any emotional concern, Madame Chu added: "Oh dear, I haven't even had a chance to drink your tea yet!"

  Her meaning is very clear, hurry up and pour tea, I haven't drunk the tea you poured yet.

  Yan Xijun gritted her teeth and endured the scorching pain on her body, picked up another cup of tea, "Please have some tea, Old Madam!"

  The lady of Chu state finally took it over properly, symbolically drank a small mouthful and said: "Hmm, good tea."

  When it was her turn to offer tea to Zhang Xianfei, she deliberately made things difficult for Yan Xijun. The first cup of tea was too hot, the second cup was too cold, the third cup was too bitter, and the fourth cup was too light...

  Finally, when the Nth cup was delivered in front of her, she smiled and took it over, lightly sipped a mouthful, suddenly, the tea in her mouth spurted towards Yan Xijun's face.

  "I'm scalded to death." Empress Zhang furiously overturned a whole cup of hot tea, splashing the tea water directly onto Yan Xijun's face. "You lowly woman, how dare you do such things?"

  "Do you want to kill me?" Zhang Xianfei was still not satisfied, picked up the teacup and fiercely threw it at Yan Xiu's head, the close-range attack made her unable to dodge, the teacup hit her right on the forehead, a bright red blood line flowed out.

  "Master." Looking at the face that had been scalded red by the hot tea, Xue Lian forcibly held back her tears and hastily helped Yan Xizhen wipe away the trickling blood.

  "Haha, serves you right!" Jia Lixian couldn't help but stifle a laugh and gloated in a low voice.

  "Haha, can't even do a small thing right!" Zhang Xianfei scolded with a smile, her face red like a pig's head from the heat, it should be disfigured by now, what will she use to seduce the Emperor?

  Zhang Xianfei was particularly delighted to have ruined someone else's appearance.

  Yan Xijun pursed her red lips, and the clear eyes sparkled with two clusters of faint blue light. She didn't care about the pain on her body, but looked at her with a pitiful gaze.

  Foolish person, being used by others without even realizing it, Yan Xi Jun can imagine what kind of ending Zhang Xian Fei will have.

  Xue Lian could no longer bear the sight of Zhang Xianfei, the mastermind behind all this, and angrily exclaimed: "You have harmed my master's family, the Emperor will not let you off!"

  Zhang Xianfei's good mood was ruined by Xue Lian, without saying a word, she stretched out one hand and slapped Xue Lian hard: "Despicable slave, does the master also need you to teach him?"

  "Sister Xianfei's teachings are good, but this lowly thing relies on that fox spirit to support her and never puts us in her eyes." Jia Lifen added fuel to the fire, she hated not being able to go forward and slap her a few times, if it weren't for her aunt making eye contact to stop her, she would have done what she wanted to do long ago.
