The three days passed quickly.

There were exactly 666 bricks in the yard in front of the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, and Wen Yuan counted them clearly.

Wen Yuan thought that maybe the design of the ceiling of the well in Xianfu Palace had fewer bricks, or maybe the bricks of the renovated Xianfu Palace were larger than those of Chuxiu Palace, or maybe...

Anyway, during the half hour of morning jogging, morning exercises and Tai Chi, Wen Yuan thought of many possibilities.

It’s not her fault that she is too idle, but that there are only two bare trees in Chuxiu Palace now, and she can’t even tell what kind of trees they are.

If this continues, she will only be able to recite the "Leaving the Capital" while running.

Fortunately, the three-day period was up and her sword was already thirsty for power.

……

Wen Yuan likes to take a shower during the day, which makes her feel refreshed as if the haze of the whole night has been washed away.

The slight sticky feeling of sweat on the body after exercise is wiped off by the refreshing foam, which is like taking a deep breath on the grass after the rain.

Inhaling into the nostrils, the refreshing aroma of the mixture of soil, weeds and corpses rotting in the soil fascinated Wen Yuan at all times.

It took another three quarters of an hour to take a shower, change clothes and put on makeup.

Wen Yuan was not wearing anything too fancy, just a simple yet flattering lilac-colored outfit, the same brocade with auspicious bat patterns as the Shu brocade sent yesterday, and a string of white jade and pearl bracelets as a collar.

Use a flat square comb made of pure jade to comb your hair into a bun, with a peacock tail feather and misty diamond inlay on the side, and a few thin jade hairpins as embellishment.

The makeup emphasizes pure naturalness.

Focus on contours, emphasize natural and soft eyebrows, and focus on eye makeup.

Draw a thin eyeliner with only one end left upward, apply a little pink, rouge, and ochre to smudge, and use glitter with pearl as the main material to bring out the fairy flavor at the end of the eye.

Apply a touch of cinnabar-colored lip balm, use a hard-bristled medium-tipped brush to shape the lips, then use a hard-bristled short-tipped brush to apply a touch of translucent crimson to embellish the lower lips.

There is no need for blush to enhance the color; the girl's cheeks slightly reddened by the cold wind in the early morning are enough.

Makeup is the art of painting on the face.

Wen Yuan is proficient in this and has been recognized by the system for level three achievement.

Paying respects to the emperor is an activity that brings together all the women in the palace.

Although clever palace fighting does not require female competition, the fact that gatherings of the same sex is a battlefield is undeniable.

Her main theme today is low-key arrogance.

The jadeite, kingfisher feathers and diamonds show the strength of her family. The dress is not at all presumptuous and is completely in the style of a noble lady, which shows her humility. Her "bare face" shows her beauty and youth. The clothes with the same pattern and her respectful and sweet words to the queen when paying her respects are the gifts she left for Concubine Wan.

Soon, all the concubines gathered in Jingren Palace.

Everyone was eagerly waiting for Noble Lady Qi, who had already been promoted to a noble lady and enjoyed the treatment of a concubine even before she entered the emperor's bed.

Today's queen is still dressed in her best and looks quite majestic.

She was wearing an elegant and graceful daylily yellow Manchu dress embroidered with eight-circle zhuanghua patterns, a headpiece shaped mainly of gold, peony, and nine-tailed phoenix, four huge oriental pearls as earrings, and pure gold armor carved with auspicious dragons and phoenixes on the back two fingers of both hands.

Every item on her body emphasized two words - I am the queen.

Forty-six-year-old Yixiu looks like she is in her early thirties because of proper maintenance and exquisite makeup. She is not as "old and ugly" as she self-deprecatingly says.

Perhaps her greatest frustration is the dryness of her face when applying powder, and the wrinkles on her cheeks that cannot be hidden when she smiles.

It was this queen who was sitting on a high place, with one hand on the bright yellow rectangular pillow beside her, and asked Wen Yuan who was standing in the middle,

“My sister is indeed beautiful.

You came very early today. Are you used to living in the palace?"

"Thanks to the Queen's care, everything is fine."

Wen Yuan answered with great respect on his face.

only……

Why did Yixiu's words sound so familiar to her?

Isn’t this what the concubine asked when she first came to the palace to pay her respects in the original drama?

Good guy.

It turns out that not only the butler has wholesale quotations, but you, the queen, are no exception?

"Then I can rest assured."

The queen nodded, then turned aside and said casually,

"Lady Qi has won the emperor's favor even before she entered the palace, so she is naturally precious. If you feel uncomfortable, you can come to me at any time."

As soon as these words were spoken, some people couldn't hold back their smiles.

This naturally included Concubine Qi, whose expression had already been evident.

Even Concubine Wan Zhen Huan, who secretly lowered her eyes, couldn't help but reveal a jealous look when she heard the Queen's "unintentional words".

"Shi Lang... actually granted this noble lady Qi such a great favor..."

The days they spent together in the Old Summer Palace and the sweet words they said to each other are still vivid in my mind, as if it were yesterday.

But now, there is a new person in the harem, and she has been favored before she even slept with the emperor.

"No, Silang even secretly made Shujin shoes to surprise me. This kind of attentive treatment is definitely different from Qi Guiren who only relied on her mother's family to get her status."

Zhen Huan has always been smart. Because the Zhen family is also involved in this, she has an extremely good understanding of the current trend in the court.

The Emperor allowed Concubine Qi to enter the palace and bestowed upon her such favor, simply because Concubine Qi's father's official position could not be promoted any further, and his title should not be raised any further.

After all, this Noble Lady Qi was just the Concubine Hua back then.

Even if she is as strong as Concubine Hua, hasn't she been demoted to a concubine and has to endure the days in Yikun Palace?

This noble lady Qi is nothing to be feared, she will never amount to anything.

Silang was just trying to be nice to her.

Her arrogance is just a mirage, a reflection in the mirror, and it will disappear after a while.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan quickly adjusted her expression.

Jiang Fuhai also shouted at this time, "Lady Qi, kowtow to the Queen--"

The faint noise in the hall suddenly quieted down after this shout.

Everyone in Jingren Palace was either looking at Concubine Qi or the Queen Mother.

It’s just that these two people, one with a face full of respect and admiration, and the other with a kind and gentle smile in his eyes, are so discordant.

Although it is bowing, it is actually the arms that are affected.

After performing the lucky cat ceremony, Wen Yuan said in a clear voice, "May the Queen be blessed with good health and happiness."

Yixiu has always liked such scenes.

No matter whether the people below were unwilling or had any other expressions, she was happy to see it.

Because this kind of occasion is only for the principal wife and the queen.

"Sister, please get up."

Being in a good mood, the word "sister" sounded even more intimate.

"Thank you, Queen."

According to etiquette, he will also need to "meet" all the concubines.

Concubine Duan is still sick and on standby. Although Concubine Qi has been feeling proud recently, she has not made any trouble out of consideration for the Empress's mood. Today is not a special day, so there is no need to pay respects in Shoukang Palace.

The subsequent Concubine Jing, Concubine Wan, and Concubine Cao, who had just been promoted to Concubine Xiang, were theoretically not much different from Concubine Qi.

In the midst of ambiguity, Yixiu, who was happy to see unrest in the harem, naturally did not arrange for Noble Lady Qi to pay respects to these three formal concubines. She simply introduced them together with the noble ladies and concubines of lower status.

Jingpin has always been a Buddhist and doesn't care about such things.

Concubine Xiang was not feeling well and had no intention of paying attention to the Queen's provocation.

Only Zhen Huan kept this matter in mind.

"She is just a noble lady! She enjoys the treatment of a concubine, but she is not a real concubine!"

Since entering Jingren Palace, these little things have accumulated and made Zhen Huan wary of Wen Yuan, disgusted with her, and even jealous of her that she herself is unwilling to admit.

Although Yixiu is already forty-six years old, her eyesight is very good, and Zhen Huan's subtle but complex expression changes cannot escape her eyes.

So she smiled even deeper.

'Fight, all of you go and fight.'

They were all so angry that they naturally didn't pay attention to the danger approaching them.

If the emperor saw you, Zhen Huan, with your jealous face, would he still be able to continue to favor you like this? Would he still protect you?

Chun Yuan, her good sister, would never have such a dark expression in the emperor's heart.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

As a noble lady who enjoyed the title of imperial concubine, Wen Yuan naturally had a seat to sit down, and happened to sit opposite Zhen Huan.

Paying respects is nothing more than a greeting, and without Concubine Hua, there would be a lot less trouble.

There was no one to sleep with me yesterday, so I couldn't even get a penny.

Wen Yuan continued the conversation, complimenting Yixiu a few more times and pointing out the pattern of her clothes today. Soon the greetings ended.
