Wearing a book, hooking him up

Ye Ronghua, with her graceful figure and light steps, walked slowly and briskly on a path in the Imperial Garden with Yan Cairen.

At this time, the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom, and are extremely gorgeous. Many concubines have recently become fond of visiting here.

Perhaps deep down in my heart I still have the hope of meeting His Majesty by chance.

It has been half a month since this group of new brides entered the palace, and His Majesty has not favored them very many times.

So far, only three newcomers, Ye Ronghua, Lin Ronghua and Chu Meiren, have been fortunate enough to be summoned.

The newcomers have also figured out some tricks. Probably only those with more outstanding status will leave some impression on His Majesty.

However, both Ye Ronghua and Lin Ronghua were promoted to a higher rank for serving the emperor in bed, but there was no movement from Concubine Ye.

Because the string of Concubine Yan broke when she was playing the pipa in front of His Majesty and Concubine Chunshu half a month ago, she has been practicing hard in her Jinse Palace every day since then. The concubines in the same palace are a little annoyed by this.

That's why Concubine Yan is now trying so hard to curry favor with Ye Ronghua. After all, Ye Ronghua has a good family background and he was the second one to sleep with her after entering the palace.

After serving the emperor, she was promoted to Ronghua. It would be great if she could say a few good words in front of His Majesty and exempt His Majesty from punishment.

After all, it is extremely difficult for her to see His Majesty now, and His Majesty will not have any impression of her.

"Sister Ye, among the newcomers, only Sister Ye, Lin Ronghua, and Concubine Chu have been summoned by His Majesty. However, His Majesty has promoted you and Lin Ronghua, but Concubine Chu has not made any move. Could it be that His Majesty really does not like gorgeous women as Concubine Chun Shu said?"

Yan Cairen followed Ye Ronghua closely and spoke softly, with a hint of doubt and flattery on her face.

Ye Ronghua frowned slightly and felt strange in his heart.

Before she entered the palace, she had thought that with Lady Chu's beauty, she would definitely be favored.

But now, all three of them have served the emperor in bed, but Concubine Chu is the only one who has not been promoted. In fact, Concubine Chu's family background is higher than Lin Ronghua's.

Ye Ronghua knew that her advantage was not her beauty. Because of her family background, as long as she did not make any mistakes, His Majesty would favor her no matter what.

Now that His Majesty does not like Miss Chu's appearance, I have lost a strong competitor.

It was a pleasant surprise indeed.

"How can we guess at random what His Majesty likes? Lady Yan should be more careful with her words and actions."

Ye Ronghua had a calm expression and a calm tone.

"My sister just whispered a few words in front of Sister Ye."

"It's just... next time when His Majesty summons you, can you please plead for me? I've been playing the pipa so hard that my hands are almost broken..."

Yan Cairen looked at Ye Ronghua cautiously, twisting her handkerchief subconsciously with her hands.

A hint of disdain flashed across Ye Ronghua's eyes. Yan Cairen was a concubine's daughter, and she looked down on her. However, because of her status as a concubine's daughter, Yan Cairen did not threaten her.

Moreover, since she has entered the harem, it is impossible for her to fight alone. Since Concubine Yan intends to curry favor with her, she naturally has to do things for her.

"Sister, since His Majesty thinks that you haven't played the pipa well enough, you should practice hard."

When Yan Cairen heard Ye Ronghua's refusal, her heart sank. She knew that Ye Ronghua would not help her so easily.

"Sister Ye, if there is anything I can do for you, just tell me. I will go through fire and water for you."

Yan Cairen whispered anxiously, her eyes full of desire.

Ye Ronghua turned slightly, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and then he leaned close to Yan Cairen's ear.

"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held in five days. The Imperial Etiquette Bureau and the Imperial Clothing Bureau in the harem are now managed by the Imperial Concubine."

"Your Majesty, you go to Zhaochun Palace almost every day, and you go to Yikun Palace every now and then. If we newcomers want to gain favor, doesn't my sister know what we should do?"

Ye Ronghua's voice was very low, with a hint of bewitching.

Upon hearing this, Yan Cairen frowned, forced a smile on her face and looked at Ye Ronghua.

She naturally understood Ye Ronghua's intention. Ye Ronghua clearly wanted her to act as a knife to charge for him.

But the Imperial Concubine and the Pure Concubine are not only deeply favored by His Majesty, but also have the power to assist in managing the six palaces. What should she do to hurt the Imperial Concubine and the Pure Concubine and at the same time get away with it safely?

"Sister, could you please tell me what I should do?" There was some uneasiness in Yan Cairen's eyes.

"Talented Lady Yan, I heard that the design of Concubine Chun Shu's palace dress has been sent to the Shangfu Bureau. The pattern embroidered on Concubine Chun Shu's palace dress this time is amaryllis."

There was an elusive smile on Ye Ronghua's lips.

There was confusion in Concubine Yan's eyes. Amaryllis is precious, and if she had not entered the palace, she would never have seen it.

"Sister, you know that amaryllis is an extremely beautiful flower. It is quite innovative for Concubine Chun Shu to use amaryllis to make palace costumes, but you still don't understand what you mean..."

"Sister, the juice of Amaryllis is poisonous..."

Ye Ronghua chuckled and said this, then turned and left with a smile on his face, leaving Yan Cairen standing there blankly.

Yan Cairen looked at Ye Ronghua's gradually receding back and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that Ye Ronghua wanted her to tamper with Concubine Chun Shu's palace dress?

Let Concubine Chunshu make a fool of herself at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, and then put the blame on the Imperial Concubine?

A hint of hatred suddenly flashed in Yan Cairen's eyes. It was obvious that Ye Ronghua wanted her to be the one to take the lead.

If she really did these things, given His Majesty's favor for Concubine Chunshu and Concubine Gui, he would certainly investigate it thoroughly. How could she possibly hide away?

Ye Ronghua didn't dare to do such a dangerous thing himself, but asked her to do it!

Zhaochun Palace, study.

Su Jingyao sat at the table, her expression calm and focused.

Holding the brush in her right hand, she carefully copied the Buddhist scripture "Heart Sutra" stroke by stroke. This was a birthday gift she was preparing for the Empress Dowager to express her gratitude.

In addition to the hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, she also prepared to give away a copy of "Double Fish Auspicious Sign".

The Pisces Omen is an agate flower vase that she specially used rare red and white agate to have carefully carved by a master craftsman. The red and white are distinct, and the overall shape is two fish.

It symbolizes good luck, prosperity and prosperity.

The Queen Mother was the key factor in her ascending to the throne, so Su Jingyao naturally had to rack her brains to please her.

Naturally, the Queen Mother’s birthday gift couldn’t be as casual as Jun Zechen’s.

Just draw a picture and say some sweet words, and then send him off.

The empress dowager's birthday gift could not be casual. She put a lot of thought into it. She not only gave a Buddhist scripture copied by hand to express her feelings, but also a precious agate flower vase to avoid being too cold.

"Master, I have already accidentally revealed the style of your palace dress and the fact that Amaryllis is poisonous to Ye Ronghua and Lady Chu."

"But although Lady Chu has a flamboyant personality, she has not been in the palace for long. Does she really have the courage to attack you, my master?"

"Ye Ronghua looks calm and calculating, but they have been in the palace for too short a time, so they may not dare to do such a thing."

Miaoyun stood next to Su Jingyao, frowned slightly, and said with a puzzled look.

Su Jingyao sneered softly.

"I don't know if Ye Ronghua can keep his composure, but Miss Chu certainly can't."

"Lin Ronghua was of lower status than her, but now he is one level higher than her and has been promoted to Ronghua. Can Miss Chu hold back her anger?"

"Master, do you think Lady Chu is going to attack Lin Ronghua?" Miaoyun asked with her head tilted.

Su Jingyao shook her head slightly.

"Miaoyun, these young ladies from aristocratic families who enter the palace may be flamboyant, but they are definitely not stupid."

"I have passed the news to Ye Ronghua and Lady Chu, but are they the ones who will actually do this?"

"There are now 35 new people in the harem. Even I cannot know the detailed plans of each of them, let alone who will be the specific executor in the end."

She paused, a shrewd look in her eyes.

"I only know that as long as they have ambitions, they will definitely take action. It just depends on the level of their methods."

Amaryllis is a precious flower species that was presented to China by foreign countries two years ago. It was only started to be cultivated in greenhouses last year. Few people know that the juice of Amaryllis is poisonous.

Even Jun Zechen might not know.

After all, the last time she sighed in front of Amaryllis, Jun Zechen didn't have any special reaction.

This time, she revealed it to Ye Ronghua and Chu Meiren only because her people "accidentally" got stained with the juice of Amaryllis, and "accidentally" let them see their skin that was red and swollen due to the juice of Amaryllis.

As for what they might think because of this, what does it have to do with her?

"Master, something happened."

Miaoxia walked into the study in a hurry, with a hint of anxiety on her face.

Su Jingyao was originally holding a pen, but after hearing the shout, she put down the pen with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"what happened?"

Miaoxia hurried over and said quickly, "Master, Yanhua, the personal maid of Shangguan from Yichun Palace, came to Zhaochun Palace to ask for an audience. She said that Concubine Chu, who lives in the same palace with Concubine Shangguan, bullied her."

As she spoke, her face was full of indignation.

"Not only did Lady Chu steal Lady Shangguan's meals for several days in a row, but she also snatched away the crabapple flowers that the flower room sent to Lady Shangguan today."

"Lady Shangguan particularly likes crabapple flowers. She argued with Lady Chu for a few words, but Lady Chu relied on her family background to ignore Lady Shangguan."

"Yanhua said that originally Lady Shangguan and Lady Chu were both beauties, and Lady Chu did not dare to be too arrogant. But later, Lin Ronghua also came to Yichun Palace, and Lady Shangguan..."

Su Jingyao listened and slightly frowned her crescent-shaped eyebrows, feeling a little annoyed.

With more and more women around, they are constantly making a fuss. I really can't sit still. I always want to find some sense of existence to show off myself.

Now that I am in charge of the Palace Administration Department, I have to deal with matters like this.

Before she even became queen, she already started doing the work of a queen.

Thinking of this, she sighed helplessly, then stood up and adjusted the hem of her skirt.

He said calmly, "Let's go to Yichun Palace and see what they are going to do."

Then, she turned to look at Miaoyun beside her and gave instructions in an orderly manner.

"Send someone to the Qianqing Palace to invite Your Majesty to have dinner at the Zhaochun Palace tonight."
