Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

After leaving Jingren Palace, Huimin took a deep breath.

Feeling the sunshine shining on her body, Huimin finally felt some warmth.

After staying in this palace for a long time, a cold feeling spread in my heart. My body was warm, but my heart was slowly growing cold.

Once you enter the palace, the Forbidden City slowly changes you into a place you don't even recognize. For the sake of family, love, and offspring, the women in the harem are trapped in a square courtyard.

The bird that was once free now has its wings tied. Although he has to fight to enter the palace, he does not want to be completely changed.

Huimin closed her eyes slightly, feeling the warmth, and slowly her heart warmed up.

Huimin held Ruyi's hand and signaled her.

"Okay, let's go."

After returning to the palace, Huimin took off her heavy headdress and armor. She felt relaxed and allowed Ruyi to help her make the silk thread.

Most of the women in the family know how to make brocade. Huimin is not that dexterous, so she learned it slowly and it was also a way to pass the time.

Next, I'll learn some embroidery and the like. At least I'll have the ability to embroider a purse for the emperor. I have to learn more of these essential skills for the harem. It's always good to have more skills.

Huimin was knitting, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't do it well. Alas, her hands were not that dexterous. She had bought a crochet hook with wool before and wanted to learn how to knit something, but after trying for a while, the thing was still left unused.

While he was struggling with the silk, he heard someone announce that Concubine Cao was coming to pay a visit.

Huimin immediately knew why she came, and she saw that she had a kind heart, so she quickly let her in.

However, when she saw Concubine Cao come in, Huimin pretended to chat about family matters and did not mention the purpose of her visit at all.

"I am weaving a silk thread. I heard that my sister is a first-rate weaver."

Huimin greeted her with a smile, showed her the semi-finished product in her hand, and gave Shunxin a slight wink to serve tea and snacks.

Concubine Cao needs help from others, but Huimin is not in a hurry.

Cao Qinmo was calm and sat on the other side of the coffee table. She also asked Ruyi for materials and started making a web.

She knitted quickly and skillfully, and was indeed an expert. Huimin did not say anything, but just smiled and lowered her head to knit, occasionally asking Cao Qinmo for advice.

Cao Qinmo was very patient. Huimin failed to do several things well, so she went to teach her again and again. The two of them even chatted about knitting for a long time.

Seeing Huimin didn't say anything, Cao Qinmo, who was still thinking about Wen Yi, finally lost her patience.

"I came here this time to ask you, sister, whether your brother's prescription is useful?"

Seeing that Cao Qinmo stopped beating around the bush, Huimin smiled and put down the work in her hands.

"My brother is weak and the child is prone to illness, so my mother asked my grandfather to find a prescription to regulate the child's body, with food as the best method. My brother followed the prescription and became much healthier."

Cao Qinmo's eyes flashed.

"Sister, are you serious?"

"Why would I lie to my sister?"

Huimin just pretended to be confused and looked at her with her head tilted.

Seeing Huimin like this, Cao Qinmo knew that she didn't need to use this to deceive herself. Wen Yi was a princess and it didn't matter to her. She had been in the palace for many years and was just a noble with the same status as her. She couldn't threaten her either. There was no reason for her to go to such trouble. As for using herself against Concubine Hua, what was she to Concubine Hua?

Cao Qinmo pondered for a moment and asked:

"So what does my sister want from this recipe?"

This time, he was very straightforward and sincere. Huimin also wanted to exchange ideas. Cao Qinmo was one of the most scheming and cunning people in the harem. She didn't want to be her enemy. It would be better if they could form an alliance in the future.

"Princess Hua, please help me deal with this and don't let her target me."

Cao Qinmo was stunned, as if she didn't expect Huimin to make such a request.

"You know Concubine Hua's temper, how can I control her?"

"I believe in my sister's ability. Just don't let Concubine Hua focus on me."

Seeing Cao Qinmo deep in thought and keeping silent, Huimin also fell silent.

"Wen Yi is still sick. She lost her temper. Lipin and I had to rush to her palace to comfort and train her. How could I..."

Huimin knew what Cao Qinmo meant, but it was not impossible to do so, right?

"Lipin is now above you, but she is far inferior to you in terms of strategy and scheming. Madam Huafei, I have to listen to you more."

Huimin then changed the subject.

"Besides, Sister Cao loves her daughter dearly. Concubine Hua has never given birth to an heir. Princess Wen Yi only has you as her mother to make plans for her. How much can Concubine Hua love her? Her future path and future husband still depend on you as her dear mother."

Princess Wen Yi is Cao Qinmo's favorite, but also her weak spot. Even if Concubine Hua uses Wen Yi to win favor, it may not necessarily earn her a good future, so naturally she wants to remind Cao Qinmo to make plans early.

Huimin took this opportunity to hint at the alliance to Cao Qinmo. After all, she was born in Xilin Gioro Prefecture, one of the eight major Manchu surnames. Her father held a high position and had a bright future. She was young and favored by entering the palace, so it was a good choice.

Cao Qinmo did not agree with Huimin's suggestion of forming an alliance, but she was still relieved about the prescription.

"The princess is still young, and it's too early for her to make a future. I will do my best to negotiate for you with Concubine Hua. If there is anything I can't stop, I will let you know."

Seeing that Cao Qinmo did not accept her olive branch, Huimin was not in a hurry. Cao Qinmo was a smart person. Even if Hua Fei was not a good concubine, she was still the most favored concubine in the harem and had the Nian family behind her. It would not be a good choice to jump ship rashly.

But let's wait and see. Huimin is still confident that Cao Qinmo will choose her in the future. She is waiting for her to show more chips and Cao Qinmo to see greater benefits... or fear.

Huimin took out the recipe that Ebi often used and handed it to Cao Qinmo:

"Sister, you need to go to the Imperial Hospital and have the imperial physician take a closer look at this prescription. After all, the properties of the medicine are different for different children."

Cao Qinmo thanked Huimin and left with the prescription. Cao Qinmo was a smart person, but she had a biggest weakness - Princess Wen Yi.

As long as he grasped this weakness, he would have Cao Qinmo under his control.

So at this moment Huimin was not worried that Cao Qinmo would stab her in the back.

After all, Cao Qinmo's maternal family has fallen into decline and she has no one to rely on, so it is not worth it to offend me. Even if she lets Concubine Hua deal with me, she came to me privately to ask for the prescription just after Concubine Hua confronted me today. If she finds out, she will be in big trouble.

Most importantly, in the long run, since this is a possible ally, the second ship is more beneficial to Cao Qinmo and Princess Wen Yi.

If she said that, she might be moved. How could she be willing to accept being suppressed by Concubine Hua for so long?
