When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage

Looking at the mess in front of him, he became annoyed and pointed at the ground, "Why don't you clean it up quickly? Are you standing there waiting for me to clean it up?"

Jingtai and the young eunuch quickly started to work. The fragments on the ground were easily hurtful to their hands, so they picked them up carefully.

I’m afraid that Concubine Hua’s people cannot be allowed into the house, so Noble Lady Qi can only go to the courtyard outside the palace to greet them.

She shook the silk handkerchief, glanced at the fragments on the ground with an ominous look, then turned and walked out.

Fu Dong was waiting outside. When he saw Concubine Qi coming out, he did not dare to be negligent and bowed to her joyfully.

"Good luck to you, noble lady Qi. This is the sweet-scented osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake specially given to you by Concubine Hua. It is a new product made by the small kitchen of Yikun Palace. I give it to you to taste."

After saying that, he opened the food box to reveal the exquisite and lovely pastries.

Concubine Qi naturally looked down upon this plate of pastries.

He felt that Concubine Hua was really petty as she only gave people a small plate of cakes as a reward.

Even if she is not very well off, she will still give some jade, silver and the like as rewards.

Her thoughts were evident on her face, and a hint of contempt was revealed between her eyebrows, which was clearly seen by Fu Dong.

Lady Qi pursed her lips and said, "This cake has been delivered cold, how can we eat it?"

The person in front of her is just a palace maid, she will not respect her.

Besides, Nian Shilan had made him very angry this morning, and he was feeling upset.

Jingtai quickly reminded, "My lady, the affairs of Yikun Palace are among the most important in the palace, and rewards are not easily given."

The frown on Concubine Qi's face finally eased a little, and she looked at the stack of pastries with much more favor.

But Fu Dong's next words brought her back to her original state.

"Empress Hua ordered me to give a stack of this sweet-scented osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake to Concubine Qi and Concubine Li respectively. When I went to Concubine Li's place, the Emperor happened to be there and couldn't go in, so I waited outside for a while, and then I was late to deliver it to Concubine Qi."

As Fu Dong spoke, he kept looking up to gauge Concubine Qi's expression.

Songzhi taught her these words before she left.

As expected, Concubine Qi frowned and became angry, her face flushed with anger, "The etiquette in the palace is the most strict. I am a Concubine, and she is just a maid. How dare you waste my time for her?"

Fu Dong was not panicked at all, and said slowly, "Empress Hua ordered that the emperor likes to eat the cakes from Yikun Palace, so they must be sent to Li Changzai first."

Seeing that Concubine Qi stopped talking, he added another sentence.

"Does the young lady think that you are more noble than the emperor?"

Seeing this, Jingtai immediately stood up and said, "Aunt Fudong, that's not right. Our young master definitely doesn't think that way. Thank you Aunt Fudong for sending it to me. I really appreciate Concubine Hua's kindness."

Concubine Qi looked at the stack of pastries and the more she looked, the more upset she felt.

She was even more unhappy when she thought that the Emperor had just summoned Li Changzai to sleep with her yesterday and she had to go again today.

If she continues like this, will she ever be able to make a name for herself?

Putting aside other things, if Concubine Wan and Concubine Hua were favored, she would not feel resentful.

But how could a mere low-ranking maid compete with her?

Fu Dong saw that she had a bad expression on her face and roughly guessed what she was thinking.

Hu Er added, "I dare not guess what the young lady is thinking, but if Li Changzai fails to serve properly, I am afraid that the emperor will blame her. However, Empress Hua treats everyone equally, and I believe that Concubine Qi will definitely have a day to stand out in the future."

Concubine Qi was very happy with these words. She snorted coldly, "You are good at talking now. Go down and thank Concubine Hua for me."

"Yes."

……

For several days in a row, the emperor flipped through the name of Concubine Li.

Rewards and favors flowed into the Yikun Palace in an endless stream, but they did not go to Concubine Hua, but to Concubine Li.

For a time, the various palaces had different opinions about Li Changzai, who seemed low-key on the surface but enjoyed all the favors.

However, on the surface, apart from Concubine Hua's sarcastic remarks and Noble Lady Qi's bad face, no one else would say anything.

Broken Yuxuan.

Shen Meizhuang did talk about this matter.

"This Li Changzai is a smart lady. I only knew that Concubine Qi was arrogant because of her beauty, but I didn't know that beauty is not enough. She also needs to have brains."

When she mentioned it, she just thought it was just a casual conversation after dinner and didn't take it seriously.

But little did people know that Zhen Huan was quite worried about this matter these days.

"Although he favors her greatly, the Emperor does know how to balance the different palaces. Look, he went to Chuxiu Palace yesterday to have dinner with Concubine Qi." Zhen Huan said casually while drinking tea.

Want to change the subject.

But Shen Meizhuang didn't notice it at all and continued, "But he only had dinner but didn't stay. This shows that the emperor still cares about Li Changzai. Li Changzai's pipa skills are similar to those of Empress Chunyuan. It's really wonderful."

Zhen Huan nodded and stopped talking.

The two of them sat in silence, but there was no awkwardness. They were just thinking about something.

After a long while, Zhen Huan spoke up, "Sister Mei, how long do you think Li Changzai can remain in favor?"

Shen Meizhuang shook her head, "I can't guess. Madam Miaoyin in the past was not as popular as her. I always feel that she is catching up with you now."

After she finished speaking, she realized that Zhen Huan's expression looked a little unusual.

Shen Meizhuang held her hand and said, "Huan'er, are you okay? Are you unhappy?"

Zhen Huan gave a faint smile, "I'm fine. I knew early on that the Emperor's night would not belong to me alone. I had already prepared for this, but I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, the Emperor favored Li Changzai because Li Changzai's piano skills were like those of Empress Chunyuan.

The Emperor actually loves Queen Chunyuan so deeply.

"What didn't you expect?" Shen Meizhuang continued to ask.

"nothing."

At this point, Shen Meizhuang did not ask any more questions and just said, "In this palace, the people here have no control over their own hearts. If you can give me a little comfort, please forgive me and don't worry too much."

"Sister is right."

Then Xiao Yunzi came in and reported, "Madam, Doctor Wen is here to check your pulse."

"Let him in quickly." Zhen Huan said lightly.

Turning back, she saw Shen Meizhuang adjusting her hair with her hands, and asked curiously, "Sister, do you feel uncomfortable with your hair?"

Shen Meizhuang smiled and said, "Oh, no, I'm just tidying it up."

"Greetings to Concubine Wan and Concubine Hui."

"Dr. Wen's etiquette is the most important thing. We can't lose it for even a moment." Zhen Huan said with a smile.

"I dare not forget it."

After saying that, he looked at Concubine Hui and said, "Concubine Hui looks better and better. Go out and walk more often to get in touch with the earth. Your body will recover faster."

Zhen Huan was surprised, "What happened to Sister Mei? What happened to your body?"

Shen Meizhuang's lips curved, "It's nothing, I just caught a cold a few days ago, so I asked Doctor Wen to take a look."

"Sister, please take care of yourself. How could you catch a cold in September?"

Zhen Huan was surprised.
