The Deaf Madam's Counterattack in the Palace Old Lady Li was originally an ordinary deaf old lady, living a peaceful old age in the hustle and bustle of modern society. That day, she was walking by the lake in the park as usual. The afternoon sun was warm and she squinted comfortably. Suddenly, the sky spun and a flash of light appeared in front of her eyes, and Old Lady Li lost consciousness. When she regained consciousness again, she found herself in an antique room with a carved bed and gorgeous curtains. Everything was strange and mysterious. Before she could figure out the situation, a young woman in ancient costume ran in in a panic. Seeing her wake up, she was relieved at first, and then she knelt on the ground with a plop, crying and shouting: "Madam, you are finally awake, what should I do!" Old Lady Li looked confused. She couldn't hear what the woman was saying, but she could only feel that something was wrong from the other party's anxious expression. After a conversation, Old Lady Li finally realized that she had traveled to ancient times and became a madam in the palace. The palace where she lived was the residence of Concubine Li, and she was responsible for managing some chores on weekdays. Old Lady Li was panicking. How could she, a deaf person, survive in this palace with strict rules? But now that things have come to this, she can only bite the bullet. Old Lady Li, who had just entered the palace, knew nothing about the various rules in the palace, which gave the maids and eunuchs an opportunity to take advantage of her. When assigning work, other maids could easily arrange their subordinates, but Old Lady Li was often fooled by the people below because she could not hear. Once, she asked the little maid to get some cloth to make clothes, but the little maid was lazy and went to chat with other eunuchs, and she didn't come back for a long time. When Old Lady Li found out and went to find her, the little maid not only did not admit her mistake, but also gestured impatiently that things were hard to find, deliberately delaying time. Old Lady Li was angry and helpless, but she had no way to deal with her. Not only did the maids and eunuchs dare to bully her, but even some concubines in the palace did not take her seriously. Once, Old Lady Li accidentally bumped into a favored nobleman in the imperial garden. The nobleman was already in a bad mood, and when he saw an old and deaf nanny bumping into him, he was furious. She pointed at Old Lady Li's nose and cursed, but Old Lady Li couldn't hear her and just stood there in panic. Seeing that she didn't react, the nobleman thought that she was deliberately ignoring him, and he was even more furious. He had someone drag Old Lady Li aside and beat her hard with twenty big boards. Old Lady Li was in so much pain that she burst into tears, but she didn't know what she had done wrong. In the palace of Concubine Li, the situation was not much better. Concubine Li was a petty person who loved to find fault with her subordinates on weekdays. She saw that Old Lady Li was deaf and stupid and couldn't do anything well, so she was very disgusted. Once, the palace held a banquet, and Concubine Li asked Old Lady Li to prepare some snacks. Old Lady Li carefully selected the ingredients and made some snacks according to her own ideas. But when Concubine Li saw the snacks, she was furious. It turned out that she felt that the style of the snacks was not delicate enough and did not meet the specifications of the palace. In front of everyone, Concubine Li scolded Old Lady Li and fined her one month's salary. Old Lady Li was full of grievances, but she could only bear it silently. Days passed, and Old Lady Li's life in the palace became more and more difficult. She had to face all kinds of difficulties and bullying every day, and she was under tremendous pressure both physically and mentally. However, Old Lady Li had a spirit of not admitting defeat in her bones, and she was unwilling to be trampled underfoot like this. She began to secretly observe how other maids managed palace maids and eunuchs, and learned various rules in the palace. Although she couldn't hear, her eyes were extremely sharp and she could figure out the meaning from other people's every move. Once, Concubine Li was going to hold a flower viewing party and invited many concubines to participate. Old Lady Li was responsible for arranging the venue. She learned from the previous lessons and was cautious in everything. She carefully selected various flowers, arranged them according to different colors and varieties, and arranged some exquisite decorations around them. In order to prepare tea and snacks, she specifically consulted the chef in the palace and made delicious and exquisite snacks. On the day of the flower viewing party, everything went very smoothly. Seeing such a beautifully decorated venue and tasting delicious tea and snacks, Concubine Li was in a particularly good mood. She was very satisfied with the performance of Old Lady Li. Not only did she not find any faults, but she also praised her in public. The palace maids and eunuchs who bullied Old Lady Li on weekdays were surprised and jealous when they saw that she was praised by Concubine Li. However, this did not change the situation of Old Lady Li in the palace. Those people were more polite to her on the surface, but they still sneered at her behind her back. One day, when Old Lady Li was passing by a corridor, she heard several young palace maids talking about her behind her back. Although she couldn't hear the sound, from their expressions and movements, Old Lady Li could guess that they were saying bad things about her. She felt sad for a while, but she pretended to walk over as if nothing had happened. Not long after, a big thing happened in the palace. The Empress's Phoenix Seal suddenly disappeared, which was a major issue concerning the safety of the harem. The Emperor was furious and ordered that the Phoenix Seal must be found within three days, otherwise all the relevant personnel would be severely punished. The palace of Concubine Li was also listed as a key target for investigation. As the maid in the palace, Old Lady Li also participated in the search for the Phoenix Seal. Old Lady Li knew that this was a good opportunity to prove herself. If she could find the Phoenix Seal, she would not only make great contributions to Concubine Li, but also make those who bullied her look at her in a new light. She carefully recalled the situation in the palace in recent days, and suddenly remembered that a strange eunuch had sneaked around the palace a few days ago.

She thought the young eunuch was very suspicious, so she decided to follow this clue. Old Lady Li asked around for information about the young eunuch and finally learned that he was from the womb of a low-ranking concubine.
