The most beautiful lady in the harem

As soon as Emperor Yongjia left, only she and Concubine Xin Shufei were left in the room, along with Concubine Xin Shufei's servants.

Qin Liuse had to cheer up and chat with Xin Shufei for a while, "Sister Shufei has been accompanying the emperor in the northwest for so long, it's really tiring."

Concubine Xin Shu still smiled gently, and she said slowly, "I am lucky enough to accompany the emperor to guard the border in the northwest. This is my blessing. It is not tiring at all. On the contrary, I have seen a lot of things that I don't usually see."

Qin Liuse smiled and thought that Concubine Xin Shu was indeed good at talking.

She nodded, looking very interested and yearning, "Such a magnificent world is probably very different from ours."

Concubine Xin Shu smiled sweetly, "Let's not talk about anything else. When the Ninth Prince went there, he was like a completely different person. There were many things that I had never seen in the capital..."

Concubine Xin Shu's lips were like fans, chattering non-stop, describing how she watched Emperor Yongjia galloping on the battlefield, how she watched him let go of his hands, still sitting steadily on the galloping horse, shooting down the prey, making those who had looked down on him at first bow down in admiration.

Only Concubine Xin Shu could say this. After all, she was the only one who accompanied Emperor Yongjia, and she had a lot of topics to talk about.

Qin Liuse chatted with her in high spirits, talking about the scenery of the northwest and asking her some daily questions about life as a little princess.

Concubine Xin Shu immediately had the little princess brought over to show Qin Liuse.

The whole morning passed in idle chat without doing any serious work. Qin Liuse didn't know what he was doing here.

When it was almost noon, someone from the Yongjia Emperor came to the Yuxiu Palace and said to Concubine Xin Shu, "The Emperor has asked me to come and tell you that he is meeting with ministers in the Imperial Study and cannot come here for lunch. He can only come back in the evening."

Qin Liuse raised her eyelids to look at Concubine Xin Shufei, and did not see any sign of displeasure on her face.

She smiled and made arrangements with the father-in-law who came to report the news. She also asked someone to bring some snacks for the father-in-law, so that he could eat while returning to the front.

This is the smart person in the harem, Qin Liuse also did this.

Although Qin Liuse had been waiting for Concubine Xin Shu to make a move the whole morning, he also wondered whether her easy-going nature was true or not.

But right now, it really feels like home.

Everything was done exceptionally well. However, due to the many and complicated matters of harem management, Concubine Li did not come in the morning and nothing was accomplished.

So at noon that day, Qin Liuse stayed with Concubine Xin Shufei for lunch and took a nap in the side hall here.

In the afternoon, Concubine Li dragged her sick body over, and the three of them went to Concubine Xiao De's palace together.

During this period, Concubine Xiao De was in charge of many important matters, and all kinds of tokens in the palace were in her hands, so they had to go to Concubine Xiao De to get them.

Concubine Xiao De was not as comprehensive as Concubine Xin Shu.

After giving the things to Concubine Xin Shu, he said to her, "All the items in the harem are here. I got them from Concubine Xian before. You just returned to the capital. If you have any questions about the harem, you can ask me. However, Concubine Li Xian and Concubine Qin Zhaoyi can also assist you, so you probably won't need me."

When Concubine Xin followed the Ninth Prince to the northwest, she was just a little concubine. It was estimated that at that time the Ninth Prince was just thinking of bringing someone with him and did not expect Concubine Xin to be so capable.

At that time, Concubine Xiao De was already a concubine. The two were not familiar with each other, nor did they know each other, and they had no intersection.

Although Concubine Xin Shu has now become one of the Four Concubines, she does not put on airs or show any arrogance towards her old friend Concubine Xiao De.

Instead, he still smiled and thanked Concubine Xiao De, then led Qin Liuse and Concubine Li Xianfei back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Qin Liuse and Concubine Li followed Concubine Xin Shu to check the account books, record things, and copy matters in the palace. An entire afternoon passed like this.

When the sun was setting, Emperor Yongjia returned to the harem early and went straight to Concubine Xin Shufei.

This time when Emperor Yongjia came back, he was not dressed as formally as he was in the morning. Instead, he changed into a moon-white brocade robe, which was much more elegant than the one he had in the morning.

Qin Liuse and Concubine Li were sitting at a table in a side hall settling accounts. When Emperor Yongjia arrived, they went to pay their respects and then came back to do their business.

Concubine Xin Shu had already gone over to tidy up Emperor Yongjia's clothes, and then helped him wipe his hands, wash his face, and drink tea.

Although Qin Liuse was sitting in a side hall, he was quietly watching what was happening over there, and inferring how they got along in the past from how they were getting along now.

I think that back in the northwest, Concubine Xin Shu must have served Emperor Yongjia very well, especially her two maids, who cultivated every bamboo and every blade of grass in the right way.

Qingzhu and Qingcao followed Emperor Yongjia one after the other and served him. They were familiar with the procedures and cooperated seamlessly, which was obviously not an overnight achievement.

Qin Liuse couldn't help but wonder whether he should cultivate Qingqing Zijin into his own bamboo grass, like them.

If Qingqing Zijin likes her, Qin Liuse won't mind. Even if they can really get promoted and have a son or daughter in the future, Qin Liuse will treat them as her own.

After a while, someone outside came to ask Concubine Xin Shufei if she wanted food.

Concubine Xin Shu looked at the sky outside, then walked in and asked Emperor Yongjia if he was hungry.

Emperor Yongjia thought for a moment and said, "Then let's have dinner."

After Concubine Xin Shu received the imperial decree, she ordered her servants, "Go and bring the dinner over."

After saying that, he was not idle again. He walked into the side hall with the curtain drawn and asked Qin Liuse and Li Xianfei, "Sisters, would you like to stay in the palace for dinner tonight? It would be nice if we could sit with the emperor together."

Qin Liuse felt that her job was not easy. She had to get up early and go to bed late. Now she was not allowed to go home early and had to work late into the night?

Concubine Li really wanted to stay, so she nodded and agreed to stay. Qin Liuse had no choice but to follow her advice and was no exception.

After dinner was arranged in the West Palace, Qin Liuse hesitated and then went there with Concubine Li.

In the morning, there were three people sitting around a table, but tonight, with Concubine Li Xian included, there were four people sitting, forming a diagonal line which was just right.

However, the concubines still did not have to worry about serving food to Emperor Yongjia.

Green bamboo and green grass stood by, serving attentively. The dinner was harmonious and beautiful, and extremely harmonious, at least on the surface.
