Yixiu returned to the bedroom and sat down on the bed.

She held her forehead with one hand and took the ginseng tea handed to her by Jianqiu with the other hand. She took two sips and felt a lot more refreshed.

"This noble lady Qi, you really can't judge a person by his appearance."

"Yes, she looks smart, but in fact, she is just beautiful and can never achieve anything.

I didn't come two days ago because I was thinking about the rules of my ancestors. After all, I am from the Guarjia clan, so I should have good family education and respect for etiquette."

Yixiu smiled and didn't respond.

She recalled the greetings they had just had in Jingren Palace.

She said that Concubine Qi was indeed beautiful, and it was only a matter of time before she would be favored by the Emperor.

Concubine Qi replied, "You are far inferior to the Empress, whose beauty is ultimately an illusion. Your noble aura is truly eye-catching. You are worthy of being the Mother of the Qing Dynasty."

She said that the title of Concubine Qi was a good one, with auspicious meanings, and that our palace would have a small auspicious sign in the future.

Noble Lady Qi replied that she was not worthy of being called an auspicious sign. If we were to talk about an auspicious sign in the harem, the Empress Dowager was the one who was destined to be the phoenix. Then her being able to enter the palace to serve the Emperor and the Empress with the help of her father was nothing compared to that.

Then, she could only hear Concubine Qi continue to talk about the interesting things in the palace that she had heard in her boudoir. She said that she had admired the Empress for a long time, and now she saw that you were indeed worthy of being the mother of the country and the role model of women in the world. She didn't know what words to use to describe your temperament in every frown, every move, and every gesture.

She said that she liked the piece of Shu brocade very much, and the bat pattern on it just happened to represent auspiciousness. She was given a title and a reward from the empress, which was like a double happiness.

The appearance of this lively, elegant young lady from a wealthy family was so shocking that Yixiu almost had a headache early in the morning.

I haven't seen such a guy in many years.

Even Concubine Chun, who was selected through the imperial selection and died in the Old Summer Palace more than two years ago, was not as bad as Concubine Qi when she first entered the palace.

Concubine Chun is innocent, but if you look carefully, it is not difficult to see the calculations and thoughts hidden behind her childish expression.

But this Noble Lady Qi... such greasy flattery, when it came out of her mouth, there was no trace of hypocrisy. It was as if she believed it from the bottom of her heart, so she just praised it out loud.

Who doesn’t like to be praised sincerely?

Even though Yixiu was so composed, she couldn't help but feel excited when she saw a pretty lady like Concubine Qi praising her.

If she is really so innocent, it would not be a bad idea to recruit her into your team.

Just think of it as having a beautiful parrot that can talk.

Based on Yixiu's understanding of the emperor, she can conclude that Concubine Qi's glory and favor are still to come. This appearance is even more vivid than that of Concubine Hua and the arrogant Nian Shilan back then. Yixiu can foresee that her future path is far more than just the empty promise of a concubine position now.

It's a pity that she was born into the Guarjia clan, and Yixiu would not allow her to give birth to a child. Otherwise, it would be more comfortable to hold the child in her name and raise him from childhood than to take care of that idiot Third Prince.

Concubine Qi, that ambitious fool, couldn't do anything in her hands, let alone this naive little girl.

However, if all this is an illusion, then it would be too scary...

Is there really someone who, at this age as delicate as a flower, has such deep scheming and strength?

Time will tell. Just keep her by your side and watch over her.

The wolf with the big tail cannot hide its tail.

After making the decision to take Concubine Qi into her arms, Yixiu began to think about how to set up a plan so that Concubine Qi would continue to take the initiative to throw herself into her arms.

Although Concubine Qi now respects her very much, it is still not enough.

She won't use anyone she doesn't have any leverage over.

Jianqiu, who was standing aside, didn't know why her queen suddenly fell into deep thought. After thinking about it, she just thought that her queen was worried about Concubine Wan.

So, thinking that he had something to report, he opened his mouth and said,

"Your Majesty, the person in Yikun Palace seems to be making some moves recently. Our people have discovered that the eunuch next to Nian Da Ying is acting suspiciously."

"Oh?"

Sure enough, Yixiu immediately became interested when she heard something interesting.

"According to Nian Shilan's mind, she is now either trying to take revenge on Concubine Xiang or Concubine Wan.

Whatever she does, it's good for us.

Tell the people below to keep an eye on them from a distance and not to alert the enemy."

"Yes, ma'am."

Although Jianqiu felt somewhat unwilling, she followed Yixiu's instructions without hesitation.

That year, Shilan was really abominable. Why didn't the Queen use this as an excuse to attack her directly?

Although Nian Da Ying was demoted, she was still alone guarding the Yiku Palace and living in the main hall!

How could Yixiu not see what the palace maids around her were thinking? She was not angry. She thought it was a good thing that the people around her were loyal, caring about her, had their own little thoughts but would never go against her.

So, she smiled and explained to Jianqiu,

"Although the emperor was angry with the Nian family and Nian Shilan, he still felt guilty in his heart."

"this……?!"

Listening to Yixiu's explanation, Jianqiu couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock.

After all, she was not the emperor's bedmate, so how could she understand what this moody emperor was thinking like Yixiu did?

“Just wait and see, she’s at the end of her rope now, something’s going to happen.

Recently, you should pay more attention to the movements of Zhongcui Palace and Suiyuxuan. It would be best to find any handle or omission there."

Because Concubine Cao was rewarded for her report, she was promoted to Concubine Xiang and naturally moved out of Yiku Palace. She is now the head of Zhongcui Palace.

No matter how they fight with Nian Shilan, as long as they are touched by this last straw that breaks the camel's back, they will inevitably end up in trouble.

No matter who wins or loses, it will be a good show for Yixiu.

"Also, Chuxiu Palace should also pay attention and remind Concubine Qi when appropriate to tell her to be careful of Concubine Wan."

Chess must be played step by step, and hatred does not sprout in one day.

"My lady, please drink slowly. I will go make you another cup."

As soon as Wen Yuan sat down in Chuxiu Palace, she couldn't wait to drink a cup of milk tea.

The taste of her improved milk tea is no less delicious than ordinary milk tea.

She hadn't eaten a single bite of breakfast and had done such strenuous exercise as paying respects. If she didn't drink something that had energy, sugar, flavor, was hot and delicious, she was afraid she would die.

She had already thought about how to write the headline: He was in a film and television drama, but he starved to death before he could sleep with the emperor.

She could only survive on white porridge with pickles, water and eggs for half a month at most.

Half a month, small kitchen.

Thinking of the planned events of tonight, Wen Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed her nausea and ate a few more bites of the food on the table, then took Long Sha, Pu Guang, and Nanny Yang to the inner room to take a shower, change clothes, and have a SPA.

night.

As soon as the dinner was served, the father-in-law from the Jingshifang arrived.

“Greetings to the noble lady.

I am here to inform you that the Emperor has turned over your green card tonight, and the bedroom nanny is already waiting outside. My young master, you should have your meal quickly and don’t delay your business.”

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Well, what's the point of eating?

Eat a piece of steamed bun, drink some water, and wait for it to swell in your stomach.

Fortunately, she has been in good health since she was young, so she is not afraid of the hardship in the next few days.

If you change to someone with a weak spleen and stomach, you will at least suffer from stomach cramps in the middle of the night.

Guang Pu, who was standing next to her, moved swiftly. He took out a purse containing a few broken silver ingots from his sleeve and handed it to the young eunuch with a smile on his face.

"Our young lady invites you to have tea."

"You are too polite, young master."

As they were talking, there was some commotion outside. When the maid brought him in, they saw that it was another young eunuch from the Jingshifang.

After he bowed respectfully to Wen Yuan, he said,

"The emperor has ordered that it will rain tonight because it is cold. The emperor is worried that you may get frozen. Please wait in Chuxiu Palace. There is no need to go to Yangxin Palace. The emperor will come as soon as he finishes reviewing the memorials."
