After Huimin washed and dressed herself, she went to pay her respects to the queen.

When they arrived, only a few concubines in the palace were present.

The Queen looked at Huimin bowing and greeting her. Although she was a little surprised that she came so early, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"The noble lady came very early. She is so diligent even on her first day in bed with you."

"As the head of the harem, the Queen is in charge of all matters in the harem. She still waits for her sisters early every day to pay respects. I dare not be lazy."

Seeing the queen asking this, Huimin answered more cautiously. It would not be wrong to praise her as the queen. This Ulanara valued her authority as the queen the most.

This was her first time serving the Emperor, so she must not give the impression that she was arrogant because of his favor, nor let others accuse her of being disrespectful to the Empress.

After all, it is better to be safe than sorry. She is not eyeing the position of empress nor the emperor's love, so naturally she has to work hard to become the empress dowager.

"You do have a heart."

The Queen asked Huimin a question and said no more. She turned around and asked Shen Meizhuang and Fucha Peiyun.

Most of them are about serving the emperor well and sharing his worries.

Huimin looked at Zhen Huan's seat, and it was still empty.

She is ill, and now the queen has exempted her from paying respects, but she has been avoiding the queen's favor and refusing to sleep with her. This is like adding insult to injury, and it will inevitably continue in the long run.

The seat for paying respects has been adjusted after I was promoted to a noble lady. Originally, I was next to Concubine Xin, but now I am next to Concubine Cao.

While paying attention to the Queen's conversation, Huimin also quietly observed the reactions of the concubines.

Huimin's eyes flashed past Shen Meizhuang, then Fu Cha Peiyun, and then she saw Xia Dongchun who was sitting down.

Xia Dongchun was looking at her. She was like a rabbit discovered by a hunter, her eyes wide open, and her face showed some cuteness and adorableness. She quickly looked away.

This guy, Huimin turned her eyes away calmly and narrowed her eyes slightly. She had suffered enough from the Ministry of Internal Affairs after her green card was revoked for two months.

Huimin no longer paid attention to the maids over there, but looked at An Lingrong who was sitting at the last seat. She sat there a little uneasily, still wearing the same clothes she wore during the talent show, and the headdress she wore was shabby and pitiful.

Alas, Huimin thought about helping An Lingrong and visiting Zhen Huan.

The show is full of life, you have to go and see it.

As he was thinking, he looked at the slightly anxious face of Concubine Cao beside him.

What's going on here?

Huimin hesitated for a moment and then went over to ask.

"Sister Cao, what's this?"

"Wen Yi is ill. I, ah, can't rest assured."

Concubine Cao was only a few years older than Huimin, but she deliberately looked old. However, with the heart of a loving mother, the flashing light in her eyes and the maternal love added a different kind of beauty to her.

"It is indeed easy to get sick during this season change. Children are weak, and my sister's brother also coughs frequently during the season change."

Concubine Cao was obviously very worried about her daughter. She and Wen Yi depended on each other in the palace, and all her plans were based on her daughter's priority.

"What the imperial physician said, the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital are all top-notch. I believe the princess will get better soon."

Huimin comforted Concubine Cao with a few words and then showed that she didn't want to interfere.

However, Concubine Cao asked when she heard Huimin's younger brother say this.

"How is your brother at home? What prescription is he taking? Is he getting better quickly?" Whenever it comes to Wen Yi's problems, Cao Qinmo always wants to ask more questions.

It was good that her husband E Bi had a prescription from his hometown, but it was not easy to give it to him. After all, prescriptions were most easily replaced in the palace. If someone turned the tables on her, she would have no way to explain herself.

Seeing Huimin just smiling and avoiding the question, Cao Qinmo, who was a smart person, understood what she meant. If it were normal times, she would not ask more questions, but when it came to Wen Yi, she gritted her teeth and did not give up.

The infant mortality rate is high among children. Sometimes a simple change of seasons can cause a child to die.

Although Cao Qinmo did not ask any more questions at this time, she was also prepared to pay a visit to this virtuous noble lady.

While they were chatting here, Concubine Hua came in late.

"Greetings to the Queen."

Concubine Hua came in with great fanfare, gave a perfunctory salute to the Queen, and sat down on the seat before she was even called.

The dissatisfied look was directed at Huimin first, and then he started to attack:

"Mrs. Xian is here early. When I was in the palace and I was just serving the emperor, the emperor didn't let me get up early."

After arguing, Huimin looked at Shen Meizhuang and Fu Cha Peiyun.

"You two must remember the rules of the harem. Don't be so arrogant just because you have just been favored by the emperor and you don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. You will be like a foxy woman who can only seduce the emperor. Put your tails back."

Hua Fei's beautiful face was full of resentment. She used to be the most favored in the harem and the emperor would stay with her for most of the month.

Several noble ladies now often enter the palace to share her favor. Given how infatuated Hua Fei is with the Emperor, she wishes to tear these women apart alive.

She vented her anger at her new favorites, and the fire in her phoenix eyes was about to devour Huimin and the other two.

When the Queen saw Concubine Hua like this, she had to come out to smooth things over.

"My sisters are all concubines of the Emperor. Naturally, you must live in harmony with each other and guard against arrogance and impatience. The most important thing is to provide the Emperor with a long line of heirs."

This is a subtle satire on Concubine Hua, saying that she is petty and jealous, monopolizing the Emperor every day and has no children.

Concubine Hua was so angry that she glared at the Queen.

"How can the loneliness of autumn be better than that of spring?"

Hua Fei emphasized the loneliness and the spring court. Hua Fei did not read much, so it was rare for her to be so pedantic in order to satirize the Queen.

After all, Concubine Hua was still young and didn't know about Huan Yixiang. Naturally, she thought that since the emperor doted on her so much, she would still have children, and that she and the emperor had a deep and loyal relationship. However, the queen was old and her beauty was fading, and winter was about to come, so she would never have a prince or princess.

Huimin couldn't help but sigh. Watching the two of them fighting every day was really a daily must-do. But fortunately, this time Concubine Hua directed her spearhead at the Queen again. No matter how much she hated these new concubines, the Queen was still at the top of her list of the ones she hated the most. Otherwise, it would be bad if this anger burned on her.

The Queen was silent for a moment when Hua Fei called her old-fashioned, then she put on a smile again and spoke lightly to Hua Fei.

"Since ancient times, people have felt sad and lonely in autumn. I say autumn is better than spring. Sister Hua Fei has learned a lot of poems recently, but I can't remember them all. The emperor likes talented women, and sister Hua Fei is interested. I still have a few poems that the emperor gave me before, so I will give them to sister Hua Fei."

In this back and forth, she laughed at Concubine Hua for being an uneducated fool with nothing but beauty, and used the collection of poems she gave to show her friendship with the emperor.

The Queen and Concubine Hua were fighting over the Emperor every day. Huimin was glad that she didn't like the fat orange guy. It turned out that being in love was not good.

Provoked by the Queen, Concubine Hua stood up and left in anger. When Concubine Li saw Concubine Hua leave, she also took her leave. However, Concubine Cao did not move.

After the commotion, the Queen and Concubine Hua lost interest and just waved their hands.

"Sisters, please go away too."
