The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 23 - Confinement to Eliminate Disasters

"You! How dare you curse me!"

Chu Guiren looked at Lin Wanyi arrogantly, her eyes blazing with anger.

"I wouldn't dare. I was merely reminding you, Guiren."

After speaking, she pointed to the sky, her face showing a gentle smile, which made Chu Guiren even more displeased.

"Be careful, Guiren. The Buddha is watching from above every day."

Chu Guiren was furious but had to be cautious.

Civil officials were fine, but military families were very superstitious. Even if she couldn't stand Lin Wanyi, she didn't dare to speak recklessly now.

Seeing Chu Guiren, who was usually so domineering, repeatedly losing face in front of Lin Wanyi, the other concubines were also very unhappy.

But in terms of background, favor, and support, none of them could compare to Lin Wanyi, so they had to swallow their anger.

Inside the inner hall, Qin He, who was about to lift the curtain, listened carefully for a moment, her brows furrowing.

This Chu Guiren really didn't respect Lin Guifei. It was one thing to avoid her usually, but to openly provoke Lin Daying in Linzhi Palace?

After all, she was the second daughter of the Prime Minister's residence, and Chu Guiren, a general's daughter from the northwest, was so presumptuous.

Was she disregarding the Prime Minister's residence or Lin Guifei?

Qin He stepped back a few steps and walked towards the sleeping quarters, whispering the situation into Lin Guifei's ear.

Lin Guifei's slightly upturned phoenix eyes were usually indifferent.

Now, they showed some disgust.

"Another arrogant girl who doesn't know her place. Go and tell Chu Guiren that the Astronomical Bureau reported her fate is currently inauspicious. She needs to eat vegetarian and recite scriptures in Yonghua Hall for half a month to ward off bad luck. During this time, her green plaque will be removed. Without my decree, she is not allowed to step out of the back hall of Yihua Palace!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The concubines outside were still waiting to pay respects to Lin Guifei, but before they could see her, the decree was issued.

After Qin He finished speaking, Chu Guiren was indignant.

"How could my fate be inauspicious? The Astronomical Bureau must have made a mistake!"

Chu Guiren didn't dare to confront Lin Guifei directly, so she blamed the Astronomical Bureau, but she knew it was futile.

Sure enough, Qin He continued.

"The current head of the Astronomical Bureau was personally appointed by His Majesty. Are you questioning the Astronomical Bureau, Chu Guiren? Or are you questioning His Majesty? You should be careful with your words and actions!"

"You!"

A maid dared to show off in front of her, which was infuriating.

But under the eaves, she had to bow her head.

Not only was she to be confined, but her green plaque was also removed. Reciting scriptures had a time limit, but who knew when her plaque would be reinstated?

She was angry but didn't dare to say more.

She could only kneel and thank for the grace, and then Qin He said impartially.
