"My lady! Ah, why is there blood?" Yinxiu was also frightened when she saw this.

Wen Yi grabbed the corner of Cao Qinmo's clothes and started crying out of fear.

"Be good, Wen Yi, don't cry." Cao Qinmo felt very uncomfortable, but she still forced herself to coax Wen Yi.

He waved and asked someone to take Wen Yi away.

Yinxiu looked at the blood on the handkerchief anxiously, "My lady has been coughing since spring came, and today she even coughed up blood. It's really scary. I will ask someone to invite the imperial physician right away."

Doctor Jiang rushed over and took Cao Qinmo's pulse.

Then he said slowly, "It's okay. Your Excellency, this is caused by the invasion of spring external organs and internal lung fire. I will prescribe a few prescriptions for you. Drink the medicine every day. After a few days, you will feel better."

Cao Qinmo nodded. Indeed, apart from coughing, she didn't feel any other symptoms in the past few days.

"That's good. Thank you, Doctor Jiang."

……

"Mrs. Qin was with me yesterday, and today she came so early to pay her respects to me and help me with my dressing. She is really thoughtful."

The Queen said softly.

Although he was speaking to Qin Changzai, who was serving him, his eyes never left his reflection in the bronze mirror.

Qin Changzai replied, "How dare I accept the praise from the queen? I am used to doing these things. Besides, serving the queen is my duty. I dare not forget it."

The queen smiled and looked up, now she had packed everything.

She stood up with Jianqiu's help, and smiled, "Qin Changzai is really rare. Jianqiu, please bring me my red gold coiled dragon necklace and give it to Qin Changzai."

Qin Changzai immediately knelt down to express her gratitude, "Thank you very much, Queen, for the reward. I didn't come here for the reward, and now I have taken your things, and I didn't know it at the moment..."

"Since it's given to you, just keep it." The queen waved her hand, motioning her to stand up.

Jianqiu took the things and said, "Why not take them with you now and let me see if they suit you."

Qin Changzai nodded and let the palace maids help her put it on, and then brought a bronze mirror for her to admire.

"It is very beautiful. I will wear it every day and never forget the kindness of the Empress." Qin Changzai said and bowed again.

The queen was very satisfied and left the inner room with the help of her and Jianqiu.

Most of the concubines have arrived.

Xin Changzai saw the red gold coiled dragon necklace on Qin Changzai's neck at a glance, "Sister, you are so lucky. This red gold coiled dragon necklace of the Queen was given by the Queen Mother. I am so jealous of it."

This sentence attracted everyone's attention to Qin Changzai's neck.

The golden necklace was exceptionally beautiful, and the inlaid pearls, jade and gold-painted items were also top quality.

Some people feel sad, some people feel envious.

However, Qin Changzai is popular with people, and seemingly no one would cause trouble for her.

They all praised him.

Qin Changzai sat there, her face flushed with praise, "My sisters are really teasing me. I am not as good as you sisters. I can only be more diligent and serve the Queen more often, and that's how I get the reward."

"Sister, what you said is true. I have to come to the Queen's palace more often in the future."

"Okay, come one by one, don't disturb the Queen from having a good rest."

It was a rare opportunity to say a few words, and everyone started to chuckle.

"Any of you are welcome to come to my palace. I am happy to see the peace in the palace." She smiled and suddenly saw an empty seat. She asked, "Why didn't Concubine Cao come today?"

"Noble Cao is ill and has a severe cough. The imperial physician told her to rest well," Concubine Xin explained.

The Queen nodded and said, "The sisters in the palace should take good care of their health so that they can better provide the Emperor with children."

"Yes, I will follow the Queen's teachings."

There was nothing more to say after a few words, so the morning meeting ended and An stayed.

The Queen sat on the couch, looked at An Lingrong who bowed and sighed.

"The emperor hasn't even entered the Yanxi Palace to see you in half a year, and now even a palace maid has climbed over your head."

An Lingrong shrank her shoulders and stammered, "I am incompetent. It's just that ever since Wanpin's miscarriage, the Emperor has not even looked at me. Moreover, under the power of Concubine Hua, I really dare not..."

"After all, the matter of the Scar Relief Glue has not been traced back to you, so why do you have to act like you are hiding something? Since this matter has come to an end, don't think about it anymore."

An Lingrong bit her lip and said, "Yes, the Queen taught me that."

The Queen glanced at Jianqiu, who immediately understood what she meant and walked forward to help An Lingrong up.

"It's not that I want to teach you a lesson, but I can't bear to see you waste your time. Now that your voice has almost recovered, and you are on good terms with Concubine Wan, I will find a chance for you to appear before the Emperor again. However, it's up to you whether you want to seize this opportunity or not."

An Lingrong was extremely grateful, "Thank you, Queen, but what should I do?"

"I have invited a master from the Imperial Music Academy to teach you singing skills. You have a good voice, so don't waste it. Seeing that Concubine Hua is gaining popularity, this harem can no longer be like the past when only one person stood out."

After saying this, she propped up her head and made a distressed gesture.

An Lingrong felt mixed emotions after seeing this.

These days, she tried to show her favor to Concubine Wan every day, kneeling all day long, and was bullied by Concubine Hua. Even the maids in the Yanx Palace dared to look at her in a good face.

Now everyone is about to forget her, only the queen still cares about her.

How could she not be moved by this?

She thanked him quickly.

The Queen only said quietly, "After all, you are the only one in this palace that I can trust. After all, Qin Changzai was born as a palace maid, and her status is lowly, not as good as you."

"Yes."

In the days that followed, An Lingrong practiced her singing skills hard every day, rarely went out, and rarely saw Zhen Huan.

And Nian Shilan also welcomed her favor.

Yinzhen stayed in Yikun Palace for several days.

He always felt that Nian Shilan had changed, and he didn't know whether it was because he had become soft-hearted or why.

In his eyes, Shilan became as gentle as the moon, beautiful and alluring, and her attitude of wanting to refuse but also to accept made him obsessed.

Soon Nian Shilan was restored to the title of Hua Fei.

At that time, Concubine Cao happened to bring Wen Yi to pay her respects, so Nian Shilan took the opportunity to adopt Wen Yi as his adopted daughter in front of the emperor.

The emperor was in high spirits and doting on her, so naturally he would not refuse.

He also looked at Cao Qinmo a few more times, and seeing that she had lost some weight, he expressed some concern.

The days in the palace passed like this one day after another.

Wanpin and Huafei are still the most favored, and occasionally Qin Changzai can also receive some favors.

The chill of spring passed, and soon summer, with its unbearable heat, arrived.

If Nian Shilan calculated correctly, many things would happen one after another, and she would have to be extremely alert in the days to come.

That day, Songzhi suddenly came to report that An Da Ying had actually become favored.
