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

After Shunxin had washed and dressed her in the morning, Xiao Ruizi came to announce that today was the day for the second batch of concubines to enter the palace. All the ladies had settled down.

"Aunt Jianqiu from the Queen's side has brought you something."

"Please."

Huimin knew the Queen's methods and tried not to offend the people around her if possible.

"The Queen asked me to bring you some gifts, and please come to Jingjingren Palace at 12:00 a.m. in three days to see her."

Huimin chatted with Jianqiu for a few words, and then she admired Jianqiu in her heart. Jianqiu was calm and tactful, worthy of being the head maid of Jingren Palace. Not only did she need to hone her wishes, but she also needed to hone her wishes.

After receiving the Queen's reward, Huimin had just politely sent Jianqiu away when she heard Xiao Ruizi report:

"The chief eunuch of Yikun Palace, Eunuch Zhou, is here."

Huimin knew that she couldn't afford to offend Concubine Hua and the Queen, so she immediately stood up to greet them.

"The newcomer has entered the palace. This is the reward given to you by Concubine Hua."

"Sorry to trouble you, Eunuch Zhou. Please thank Concubine Hua for me."

Concubine Hua is domineering and has a hot temper, so one must lower one's posture and not attract her attention.

He winked at Ruyi, who then respectfully handed a thick purse to Zhou Ninghai.

Zhou Ninghai put it away with a smile.

"It's getting late. I have to go to other young masters' palaces. I'll take my leave."

Xiao Ruizi went to see Eunuch Zhou off, and Huimin looked at the rewards from the Queen and Concubine Hua.

The satins given by Concubine Hua and the Queen as rewards were all good, as were some jewelry and other items, all of which were of acceptable quality.

"The new material supplied by the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau has good colors. Ruyi, go to the Shangyi Bureau and get these two pieces of lilac and moon-white material to make two sets of clothes."

After thinking about it, I would need new clothes for my first visit to the palace and other matters. "And let's make one set of this honey-colored one, too."

The mauve and honey-colored ones were all made more delicate by having some patterns added to them by the Shangyi Bureau.

After saying that, he called Ruyi and took twenty taels of silver to go and make arrangements.

Money is needed everywhere in the palace. Huimin thought that she had spent a lot of money on bribes since she entered the palace, and there would be more places to spend money in the future. If it weren't for the 30,000 taels of silver prepared by her father and mother, she would be stretched to the limit relying only on the palace's allowance.

She was fine, with the money given by her father and mother, and income from the farm, shop and land. But she thought that life would be difficult for a concubine of low rank with a humble family background.

Thinking that the new concubines in the palace have settled down, Huimin also plans to go and meet Zhen Huan and the others.

But before that, Huimin planned to go to Noble Lady Fucha first.

Both Fucha and I were from prominent Manchu families, and she was from the upper three banners, which was better. By making friends with her, I could better guard against palace conspiracies, and with this ally I would not be isolated and helpless. The empress, an expert in abortion, could not bear to see a concubine pregnant, let alone a Manchu noblewoman. By forming an alliance with her, we could jointly deal with Yixiu.

However, if she gives birth to a prince, he will definitely be a strong contender for the throne and should not be underestimated. This is also something to consider.

Thinking about this, Huimin asked Shunxin to prepare gifts and go to the Yanxi Palace.

As soon as I arrived at the Yanxi Palace, I heard Xia Dongchun's arrogant words, "No matter how good the things that Concubine Hua gave me are, they are not as good as those given by the Empress."

Looking at Xia Dongchun expressing his opinion loudly to Jianqiu's back, he glanced at Zhou Ninghai's dark face who had just come out of Fucha Guiren's room.

This summer, winter and spring is really...

But Xia is beautiful and can be a very good spear and also a very good shield.

Huimin stepped forward and said, "What Concubine Xia said here is disrespectful to Concubine Hua. She has failed Concubine Hua's kindness."

When Zhou Ninghai saw Huimin speaking for Concubine Hua, his ugly expression improved a little.

Huimin leaned close to Xia Dongchun and whispered in his ear:

"You are saying this to show your dissatisfaction with Empress Hua. Empress Hua has the power to assist in managing the six palaces. If you hear this, you will be in big trouble. If you make a mistake unintentionally, you may even be caned or flogged."

When Xia Dongchun heard Huimin say this, he was also shocked to realize that he had spoken out of turn.

Xia Dongchun was startled when he saw Zhou Ninghai's gloomy face in panic, and his arrogant smile slowly faded.

She was arrogant but not completely stupid. After Huimin's reminder, he didn't know what was going on in his mind and was almost sweating.

He quickly turned around to make amends, "The Queen's reward is good, and the Concubine Hua's reward is also good. I didn't mean to say anything bad about Concubine Hua."

She even danced with the handkerchief in her hand in front of everyone.

Huimin wondered if she was stupid, but Zhou Ninghai's originally gloomy face seemed to be a little better. He might think Xia Dongchun was a fool.

After giving Xia Dongchun a reminder, Huimin didn't want to say more and led people to Noble Lady Fucha's residence.

Xia Dongchun looked a little flustered and subconsciously wanted to pull Huimin's sleeve, but when he saw Huimin walked decisively, he withdrew his hand in panic.

As if stunned by Huimin's words, Xia Dongchun stopped mocking An Lingrong. He glared at An Lingrong fiercely and went into the house.

"Sister Fucha, I'm here to see you."

When Fu Cha saw Huimin come in, she also stood up to greet her.

"Sister, sit here."

"I wanted to visit my sister a few days ago, but I was never able to."

Huimin smiled and sat down.

"My sister and I hit it off right away, and I've been thinking about her all along, but I've just entered the palace, and everyone is busy, so I don't want to bother her."

Fucha held Huimin's hand, and the two of them were very close as sisters.

As she was talking, Fu Cha mentioned Xia Dongchun who was at the door.

"Did my sister run into Xia when she came here?"

"Yes, when we came here, Xia was mocking An Da Ying."

Seeing Huimin say this, Fucha showed some helplessness on her face.

"This Xia Changzai comes to hang around my place whenever she has nothing to do. It's giving me a headache. Otherwise, she goes to mock An Da Ying. I don't know where she gets so much energy every day."

Hearing Fu Cha say this, I knew that she also had many complaints about Xia Dongchun.

Xia Dongchun had just entered the palace and offended Zhen Huan and others, offended Noble Lady Fucha, and even offended Concubine Hua. She really made enemies on all sides.

"We sisters were both born in the Manchurian army, and our families are intermarried, so we should visit each other more often."

Huimin also nodded in agreement and just opened her mouth:

"Sister Fucha..."

He was gently interrupted by Fucha.

"My maiden name is Peiyun, so just call me by my maiden name."

Seeing Fu Cha say this, Hui Min also said:

"My sister's maiden name is Huimin, so you can call me Huimin."

As expected, Xia Dongchun was from the Han army banner, and Fucha looked down on her behavior. However, since she was from the Manchu army banner and had a good family background, she intended to make friends with her.

After chatting for a while about the popular materials in the jewelry palace, Huimin got up and said goodbye.

"Sister Peiyun, I have some things in the palace that I haven't dealt with yet, so I'll go back first."

"Sister Huimin comes here often."

Fu Cha personally escorted Huimin to the door, and her courtesy was extremely considerate.

Huimin returned to the palace with Fucha's return gift.

Looking at Ruyi who was eagerly waiting, Huimin said with a smile:

"What are you looking at here?"

Ruyi said to Huimin embarrassedly:

"Looking forward to the young master's return."

"You..."

Nodding at Ruyi, Huimin asked Ruyi to put away the gift.

"Register it together with the gifts given by the ladies today and put it away."

I met this Fu Cha today. She was a nice person and handled things well. I remembered that she was favored in the early stage of the TV series, but became arrogant after she got pregnant, and was scared crazy by the story of Zhen Huan in the later stage. One has to look at many sides of people.
