Chapter 191 Changes
"Eunuch Jiang, this young lady has something to ask the Queen. Please pass it on."
Jiang Fuhai calmly stuffed the purse handed to him by Huanbi into his sleeve, but shook his head in embarrassment.
"He Changzai, someone has arrived at Shoukang Palace, and the Empress is currently unavailable. Why don't you ask for an audience at another time?"
"Thank you, Eunuch Jiang, for telling me. I will come again next time."
When Fubao saw the young lady coming out early, he knew that she had not been able to meet the queen.
"My lady, there is snow on the ground. I will help you."
"Fubao, what do you think I should do?"
Huanbi stretched out her hand in confusion, letting the snowflakes fall into her palm.
The day after Concubine Qi was favored, she couldn't wait to move into the East Wing Hall and made sarcastic remarks to her from time to time.
These days are so hard!
Huanbi came to see the queen this time just to change her residence.
"My lady, whether it's Consort Shu or Consort Wan, they only gained the Emperor's attention because they were pregnant."
"This young master knows."
Huanbi's heart was filled with bitterness. The emperor valued her elder sister more, and the beautiful Concubine Qi lived in the east wing palace. How could she have the chance to serve him in bed?
She had served him in bed so many times before, but there was no more movement in her belly.
"My lady, I heard Qiu agree that the Empress loves peonies. Why don't you embroider a round fan and present it to her as a token of your appreciation?"
Although He Changzai expressed her loyalty to the Queen, Fubao saw that she seemed only to want benefits and had no real intention of sharing the Queen's worries.
The Queen kept her in the west wing of Suiyuxuan in order to better control her.
Keeping her busy would just give the Queen time to deal with the fence-sitter Concubine Qi.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The eldest sister values Concubine Qi and will only ask her to abide by the palace rules.
The only thing she could do was to cling tightly to the big tree of the Queen.
"Hey! Isn't that He Changzai? You didn't come back early after paying your respects. Could it be that you're hiding in some corner missing your family?"
"Oh! Look at my memory. I forgot that you were born a slave and have no relatives or friends."
"Isn't it normal that you're reluctant to return to Suiyuxuan?"
On the way back with Concubine Wan this morning, Aunt Cui Jinxi beside her mentioned vaguely that Concubine Hua had dealt with a maid named Xia Dongchun.
Just because she committed verbal offenses.
Concubine Qi suspected that Huanbi, who was squeezed out by her, had privately complained to her former master, so Concubine Wan took the opportunity to punish her.
Unable to swallow this humiliation, Concubine Qi waited outside the Suiyuxuan to intercept Concubine He.
"Lady Qi, I don't think I've ever offended you. Please don't go too far."
Huanbi stared angrily at the arrogant Concubine Qi in front of her.
"He Changzai, what I said is the truth. If you are dissatisfied, you can complain to the Concubine Wan."
Seeing that Huanbi was interested, Guaerjia Wenyuan lowered her head and whispered in her ear.
"He Changzai, yesterday, Concubine Wan summoned Doctor Wen to see a patient. When I entered the room, I saw Doctor Wen examining him with a pink and white crabapple purse in his hand."
"I wonder which palace this was sent from? Is it for the dragon fetus in Concubine Wan's belly?"
"He Changzai, what do you think?"
"Lady Qi, Concubine Wan is pregnant with the dragon fetus, so it's never too cautious."
Huanbi, whose face turned pale from the cold, lowered her eyes and retorted.
Since the lady entered the palace, she noticed her elder sister's alienation after being reminded by Fubao.
Huanbi took advantage of the New Year's Day to present a pink and white crabapple purse to her elder sister, but she never saw her elder sister wearing it again afterwards.
But I didn’t expect that my eldest sister would call Wen Shichu to check my purse.
Are you afraid that she will do something to it?
After watching Concubine Qi step into the Suiyuxuan, Huanbi hurriedly ran back to the west wing hall.
"My lady, Concubine Qi is going too far. Why don't you go and ask Concubine Wan to reason with you?"
"Fubao, Concubine Wan is pregnant, please don't disturb her."
The emperor did not come to Suiyuxuan to visit his elder sister, so there was no benefit in posting it at this time. It was more important to embroider the round fan.
Huanbi once longed to be a woman like her elder sister, but as she sewed the needle and thread through the white silk, she began to have the idea of surpassing Zhen Huan and even stepping on her.
Rou Da Ying noticed that Huanbi had been unusually calm in recent days, and hadn't even rolled her eyes at her for several days. This surprised her, so she talked about this matter privately with Concubine Chun.
"My lady, do you think He Changzai is up to something bad?"
"A new person has come to Suiyuxuan, and He Changzai might be busy dealing with him and has no time to care about other things."
She patted Biyun's hand gently and spoke softly.
"Let's not bother with irrelevant people. Her Majesty the Consort Shu has invited me to Yonghe Palace to eat osmanthus cake. Let's go quickly."
Yesterday, Miss Baoli from Yonghe Palace personally came to invite Concubine Chun to Yonghe Palace to have some pastries.
"This concubine pays homage to Her Majesty Shu Guifei."
"Noble Lady Chun and Lady Rou are here, so please excuse me."
"I heard that Concubine Chun likes sweets. Would you mind having someone bring a pot of milk tea?"
Chun'er used to love drinking this and immediately started laughing.
"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty. This is just what I like."
Concubine Shu has three children, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sends a certain amount of fresh milk every day. Unexpectedly, the Empress would be willing to make milk tea for her.
A smile flashed in Biyun's eyes as she sat on the other side. She listened silently to the young lady and the imperial concubine sharing their daily life in Zhongcui Palace.
"Your Majesty, it has been snowing for the past few days, and the entire Zhongcui Palace is covered in white snow. I didn't ask the servants to clean it up, and it looks so beautiful."
"Really? I'm from the south and have only ever seen snow on palace roofs."
The fallen snow on the ground had already been cleaned up by the diligent servants.
An Lingrong could hear from Concubine Chun's words that she loved Bai Xue.
"There's also a fat raccoon that came from nowhere, having fun in the snow. It's so cute."
"Your Majesty, if you are interested in enjoying the snow, next time it snows, I will not let you clean the Zhongcui Palace."
"Lady Chun, this is freshly baked osmanthus cake. Her Majesty ordered this servant to add a generous amount of honey."
Baoque, who came in with a tray, interrupted Concubine Chun's invitation.
When the Empress learned that Concubine Chun had dissuaded Qiu from entering the delivery room on the day of her delivery, she invited her over to express her gratitude.
Fang Jiachun stared at the large plate of snow-white osmanthus cake on the tray with surprise. Covered with a thick layer of light yellow honey, it looked extremely tempting.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Concubine."
Seeing that her eyes never left the osmanthus cake, An Lingrong persuaded her sympathetically.
"I don't like sweet osmanthus cakes, so please eat them while they're still hot, Lady Chun."
"Save some for breakfast later."
In less than half a minute, An Lingrong's intuition told her that Concubine Chun in front of her was really only focused on eating and drinking.
The snake at the palace banquet and the subsequent intrigues in the palace made her change.
When Chun'er heard that there would be breakfast, she stuffed a mouthful of osmanthus cake into her mouth and mumbled thanks again.
Baoque placed another portion of osmanthus cake drizzled with normal honey on the small table next to Biyun, and also gave her a cup of osmanthus honey.
"Rou Changzai, please use it."
The three of them were eating osmanthus cake when Hongzhan staggered in. He threw himself at An Lingrong's legs and called out in a baby voice.
"Mother, geese, geese, geese..."
