Transmigrated Canon Fodder, Please Calm Down! Chapter 427

Early in the morning, Tang Guo touched her slightly aching lips, feeling somewhat speechless.

Mei Lan secretly laughed on the side. She glanced at Tang Guo’s lips and carefully avoided the wounded area as she applied makeup.

Last night was the Imperial Concubine’s turn to sleep with the Emperor. Today, the women of the harem would come to greet her and pay their respects, feeling happy for her privilege of spending the night with the emperor.

Even though they cursed Tang Guo countless times in their hearts, they still had to bow respectfully to her.

Xuanyuan Mo had many concubines, more than twenty in total.

Besides Tang Guo, the Imperial Concubine, there was no one else above the rank of concubine. There were only two people with the rank of second-class, Meng Shuyi and Yin Xiuyi. One person held the rank of third-class, Lan Jieyu.

As for Xuanyuan Mo’s beloved, currently, she was sixth-rank, known as An Meiren.

An Ningxiang stood at the very end, not drawing any attention. Her appearance could be described as merely delicate. Her clothes were unremarkable, with plain colors, and she wore very few accessories in her hair. Her makeup was also light.

Even those who were the same rank as her did not take her seriously.

However, a closer look would reveal that her seemingly unremarkable clothes were actually made of carefully selected materials, with exquisite embroidery.

At first glance, one wouldn’t notice, but upon closer inspection, she would captivate attention.

Especially with her gentle and graceful demeanor, An Ningxiang could easily attract a man’s attention.

“Your concubine greets the Imperial Concubine.”

The concubines bowed and saluted to pay their respects. Tang Guo sat steadily at the top, glancing at them lightly without giving any intimidating gestures. She simply said, “You may rise.”

Those who could sit took their seats, one after another congratulating the Imperial Concubine for serving the emperor.

Tang Guo paid no attention to these people, her focus was on An Ningxiang’s face. Although An Ningxiang appeared calm on the surface, she was twisting her handkerchief with both hands, and Tang Guo did not miss the look of sadness in her eyes.

Tang Guo raised her brows slightly. It seemed that Xuanyuan Mo had not explained his plan to An Ningxiang. After all, revealing it would expose a disgraceful side of the royal family.

Moreover, An Ningxiang’s demeanor suggested that her relationship with Xuanyuan Mo was quite good.

“The embroidery on An Meiren’s clothes is quite unique.”

As soon as Tang Guo finished speaking, the twenty or so people in the room all turned their eyes towards An Ningxiang. These women had sharp eyes and immediately noticed that the fabric An Ningxiang was wearing was not ordinary, and the embroidery skills were exceptionally exquisite.

Without Tang Guo needing to say more, An Ningxiang attracted attention.

An Ningxiang never expected the Imperial Concubine to notice someone as insignificant as herself and felt flustered.

Earlier, she had indeed felt uneasy because Xuanyuan Mo had favored the Imperial Concubine.

He had told her that he only pretended to favor the Imperial Concubine and that she was his true love. This was to pave the way for her. If he promoted her rank directly, it would cause a lot of trouble. She understood this, but still felt uncomfortable.

“Is it possible that the Imperial Concubine has taken a liking to a mere beauty’s clothes?” Lan Jieyu covered her mouth with a laugh. “If the Imperial Concubine likes it, why not ask where An Meiren got the fabric and who did the embroidery?”

“Wouldn’t it be easy for the Imperial Concubine to obtain such an item?”

Though it seemed like she was helping Tang Guo, Lan Jieyu was actually painting Tang Guo as willful, domineering and bullying towards the weaker concubines.

Tang Guo glanced at Lan Jieyu. The reason why Lan Jieyu stood out in the harem and always spoke straightforwardly was that she was a trusted confidante of Xuanyuan Mo. She existed specifically to be a close aide to An Ningxiang.

If anyone troubled An Ningxiang, Lan Jieyu would step in to draw attention.

It must be said that, in order to protect An Ningxiang, Xuanyuan Mo had indeed considered many things.

Tang Guo, sitting elegantly and regally above, suddenly smiled.
