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

Looking at An Lingrong's receding back, Huimin turned and walked towards Chuxiu Palace.

Send some red basket of charcoal to An Lingrong. My own share is more than enough, and my dowry is already large enough to buy some more.

Huimin returned to the palace and entered the warm room. She dismissed the other servants and only left two trusted maids.

"Say it as you wish. Go and see what new materials the Ministry of Internal Affairs has in a couple of days. Each of you can take ten taels of silver and pick out the one you like. Just don't break any palace rules."

You have to be generous to your own people. These two girls are busy running around for you every day. They are truly your right-hand men. Huimin will not treat them unfairly.

They are loyal and the people he cares about the most in the palace.

"Our young master is so kind that he always thinks of us when there is something good going on. These ten taels of silver are more than our annual allowance."

Seeing Huimin pointing at her shoulder, Ruyi quickly went to press her shoulder.

Shunxin also hurried to massage his legs, and the three of them started a mess.

"Our young master is truly the most kindhearted and generous young master. Some other young masters' maids and eunuchs suffer from the cold every night, but our young master gave away the charcoal in her quota to everyone, and the servants' rooms are as warm as ours."

Ruyi deliberately laughed and teased their young master. The young master had been very tired since entering the palace. She and Shunxin spent every day trying to make Huimin happy.

"And the young lady also burns red charcoal for the two of us. We are usually very warm here. When we return to the room, Ruyi and I still have red charcoal to use. Changzai promised the young lady that we can't use it."

Shunxin also said seriously that they, the young ladies, always tried their best to provide good conditions for themselves and Ruyi.

"You two."

Huimin poked their faces and joined them in laughing.

"Okay, okay, I've already taken the charcoal to Wan Chang Zai'an and he's promised me, so how can I not give it to you guys? You two should be given priority first."

While the commotion was going on here, little Ruizi came over to report:

"Mrs. Xia is here."

Summer, winter, spring?

Huimin didn't understand why she came, but she still signaled Ruyi and Shunxin to get up.

She smoothed her disheveled hair and patted her face, which was flushed with joy.

When Xia Dongchun came in, he saw that Huimin looked different from usual.

Her originally pouting mouth and staring eyes changed. Her mouth gradually opened wider and her eyes were full of surprise.

"Will you still be like this?"

Looking at Xia Dongchun's surprised expression, Huimin frowned.

"What does it look like?"

"Oh, that's right."

Huimin's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.

Xia Dongchun was really rude. He treated this place as his own home and dropped his butt on the cushion next to Huimin, looking very angry.

"Why are you still sending gifts to that fellow An Lingrong, red baskets of charcoal and clothing materials?"

Xia Dongchun's face was puffed with anger, and he continued:

"Don't be fooled by her pitiful appearance. She is a very scheming person."

Xia Dongchun was afraid that Huimin would not believe him, so he spoke with great emotion and was almost ready to perform on stage.

"Are you jealous?"

What is this? The fledgling complex? The suspension bridge effect? ​​Huimin really can’t keep up with Xia Dongchun’s train of thought.

"Who is jealous? Who? Jealous of whom? An Lingrong? She doesn't deserve it."

"Tsk, who cares?"

Xia Dongchun exploded like a firecracker at that moment. Her face, which was originally like a juicy peach, now looked like a big ripe peach.

But Huimin was not prepared to indulge her, and said coldly:

"Your face looks like a monkey's butt."

Seeing that Xia Dongchun seemed dissatisfied, Huimin suppressed her with just a look.

Seeing that Xia Dongchun was no longer aggressive, Huimin said calmly:

"When did I ask you to question my decisions?"

You need to use different methods to treat different people. You need to make An Lingrong feel valued and needed. However, Xia Dongchun’s already arrogant brain is almost gone, so the only way is to suppress her arrogance and make her willingly submit.

To suppress her!

"You haven't slept with me for so long. I've taken away your green card for two months. It's time for you to wake up. If you don't sleep with me, you'll be like a persimmon that will rot if someone squeezes you."

Huimin glanced at her and saw that she was still full of energy and seemed not to have suffered much.

Being the daughter of a Baoyi Zuoling has its advantages. Baoyis have been intermarrying for generations, and are bound together like entwined vines. With a Baoyi Zuoling as her father, Xia Dongchun is still living a good life even though the emperor has no regard for her now.

She is a “relative”, but if this continues for a long time, she will suffer the consequences.

"It's not like I can sleep with you whenever I want. The emperor won't turn over my name card."

"If he doesn't turn over your card, you will find a way. Every day you act like a peacock, trying to get the emperor to see it, not Concubine Hua."

"Good sister, can you tell me what to do? I know you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and you are the best~"

Xia Dongchun's coquettish behavior gave me goosebumps.

Why, is this how I look in her eyes? Huimin thought, forget it, I can’t believe what a fool says, I’ll just listen to it.

"Please visit Yimei Garden a few days before New Year's Eve and pick some plum blossoms for me. I like poetry. You can recite a poem for me every time you pick one. I will give you a collection of poems later. When I think you are sincere, I will tell you how to do it."

"You know what to do between us."

Xia Dongchun naturally knew that apart from their overt interactions, the two of them were in secret with each other. The guards and palace maids who were having an affair were not as secretive as they were. Judging from Huimin's intention, she didn't want anyone to know that this was her idea, and that everything was voluntary.

"Okay, I get it. Do you like plum blossoms?"

"I like red plums."

Huimin didn't look at her and just said this.

"You like red plum the most?"

Huimin hesitated for a moment, then said:

"I love red plum blossoms the most in winter, but lotus is my favorite in other seasons."

Seeing that Xia Dongchun wanted to ask again, Huimin changed the subject and avoided answering.

"Okay, then I'll recite a few more lines of poetry to add some literary flavor to your red plum blossoms, which will be worthy of a talented woman like you."

Seeing that Xia Dongchun agreed, Huimin thought, it would be better to let Xia Dongchun have this encounter in Yimeyuan in advance. It would be best if it works. Even if this plan fails, she still has other ways.

"Let's go. Don't stay here for too long or you'll be exposed."

Xia Dongchun became unhappy again when he saw Huimin drove him away after just a short while.

"You gave An Lingrong so many gifts, but I got nothing. We are so close, so naturally my feelings are deeper than hers! I don't care, you have to give me something."

Seeing Xia Dongchun starting to act unreasonably again, Huimin's face turned cold.

"How come saving your life isn't enough?"

But Xia Dongchun was persistent and was not afraid of the cold response.

Seeing that she was looking aggrieved, Huimin finally gave in.

"Okay, I'll give you one of the silk threads I made a few days ago. I also made a rabbit. I'll give you the only finished product."

As soon as Xia Dongchun heard that, he no longer felt aggrieved or uncomfortable.

"Well, this thing you made with your own hands is much more valuable than those vulgar things. It just so happens that my Xia family has no shortage of gold and silver, but I am in need of an ornament. Let's go."

Looking at Xia Dongchun's proud look, it seemed as if he was superior to An Lingrong.

Huimin felt helpless when dealing with Xia Dongchun.
