After coming out of Jingren Palace, Xia Dongchun fell behind a few steps and planned to take Yunling to the Imperial Garden for a walk. It had snowed a few days ago, and the snow scenery in the Imperial Garden was also very nice.

Noble Lady Fucha turned around and saw Xia Dongchun going towards the Imperial Garden. She frowned, snorted, and took Sang'er back to the Yanx Palace.

An Lingrong came back first, and before she entered the house, she saw Noble Lady Fucha coming back.

Because of what happened a few days ago, An Lingrong didn't want to confront Noble Lady Fucha, so she turned around and wanted to go into the house quickly.

But Noble Lady Fucha couldn't directly deal with Xia Dongchun these days, so she wanted to take it out on An Lingrong.

"Run away when you see me. Do you think I can eat you?" Noble Lady Fucha paused and turned to look at An Lingrong.

Since she had already spoken, no matter how reluctant An Lingrong was, she had no choice but to stand and answer.

"I didn't..." An Lingrong said weakly.

Noble Lady Fucha took two steps towards An Lingrong, looked her up and down, and chuckled, "Isn't the dress you're wearing made of the material that Concubine Xia sent you a few days ago?"

An Lingrong took a step back timidly, wondering why she brought this up.

Noble Lady Fucha covered her lips and smiled, "How petty! I have already given this material to Sang'er to make clothes. But you, on the other hand, just made clothes and wore them when they were given to you. You are not afraid of being laughed at."

An Lingrong lowered her head and looked at the clothes on her body. When Xia Dongchun had someone deliver them to her, she said that they were gifts from the Emperor, so she had someone rush to bring out the clothes. It looked like...

An Lingrong thought about it and seemed to understand something, but she looked at Noble Lady Fucha and thought about what happened a few days ago, and finally chose not to say anything.

Noble Lady Fucha didn't know what was going on and was feeling very proud. Sang'er also looked at Baojuan with a proud look on his face. The master and servant had exactly the same expression.

"Forget it, forget it. Since you come from a humble family and have never seen anything good, it is understandable that you would do this." Noble Lady Fucha said this and took Sang'er back to the house.

An Lingrong stood there, watching Noble Lady Fucha return to her room, and stood there for a long time until Baojuan spoke up, "My lady, it's cold outside, and you haven't recovered from your cough yet, so you can't be exposed to the wind. You'd better go in quickly."

An Lingrong then turned around and took Baojuan back to her room.

Baojuan put away the thick cotton curtain, turned around and whispered, "My lady, wasn't that material gifted by the emperor? How dare Noble Lady Fucha make clothes for her servants?"

"..." An Lingrong was silent for a moment, then said, "Who knows? Maybe Noble Lady Fucha wanted to piss off Concubine Xia."

"Even if you want to irritate Concubine Xia, you can't joke about the emperor's reward." Baojuan curled her lips, "If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely be angry."

"Besides, even if the emperor is not angry, Noble Lady Fucha cannot do this. Even if Sang'er is her confidant, she is still a servant after all. How can she wear the same clothes as her master?" Seeing that An Lingrong's expression had not changed, Baojuan continued.

"It doesn't matter. We don't need to be angry about this." An Lingrong said, "That was the material given to her by Concubine Xia, but now it's made into clothes for me. Do you think Concubine Xia would agree?"

Baojuan smiled knowingly and said nothing more.

In the Imperial Garden, Xia Dongchun and Yun Ling stood behind the rockery. They looked around and asked in a low voice, "How's the material?"

"The servants around Noble Lady Fucha can't keep secrets, especially things like this. They wish you would know." Yun Ling approached and said, "The people around her started shouting early this morning, saying that the material Noble Lady Fucha had just given them was used to make clothes for Sang'er, and it was as good as the material used by the masters."

Xia Dongchun couldn't help laughing: "That's great, I didn't expect Noble Lady Fucha to be so stupid."

Yun Ling paused and glanced at Xia Dongchun. Seeing that she was so happy, she didn't say anything.

Forget it, forget it. Noble Lady Fucha is pretty stupid anyway. If the young lady is happy, she can say whatever she wants.

"Noble Fucha and Shen Meizhuang are both new nobles who are favored. The emperor summons them many times. When the clothes are ready, Noble Fucha will be eager to let Sang'er wear them to irritate me. Then the emperor will see them." Xia Dongchun said, sighing that his plan this time was too powerful.

"Yes, my lady. You have good intentions. You think that all sisters should share the grace of the royal family. The emperor was very satisfied with what you said that day. Now that Noble Lady Fucha has done this, the emperor will definitely compare you with her. He will definitely be angry with Noble Lady Fucha then." Yun Ling said.

"We can just wait and watch the show when the time comes." Xia Dongchun felt happy when he thought about that scene.

Yun Ling looked around. Although there was no one around, she still felt uneasy saying these things outside: "My lady, let's talk about these things after we get back. It would be bad if someone with ulterior motives heard them."

Xia Dongchun now had some sense of propriety in her heart, and she was willing to listen to what Yun Ling said, so she nodded and said, "That's right, some things are really not suitable to be said outside."

"It's very cold outside, let's go back." A gust of wind blew and Yun Ling shivered.

Although Xia Dongchun didn't feel cold, she noticed Yun Ling's movements and said, "Okay, let's go back."

Just as Xia Dongchun arrived at the gate of Yanx Palace, before she went in, she was stopped by Jianqiu.

"My lady, I see you are here. It was so easy for me to find you." Jian Qiu came forward with a smile, "The Queen asked me to come and see you. She wants to talk to you."

"The Queen called me?" Xia Dongchun was very surprised. In her eyes now, the Queen was the woman with the most status in the palace. Although Concubine Hua was also powerful, her attitude towards newcomers to the palace could be described as disgust, so she was more willing to get closer to the Queen.

Jianqiu's smile remained unchanged: "Yes, the Empress likes you very much, but she has never been free before. Today, she finally has some free time, so she asked me to invite you to Jingren Palace to talk."

"I'll be right there." Xia Dongchun said with a smile, "Aunt Jianqiu, please come along."

Jianqiu nodded and led the way.

Arriving at Jingren Palace, Xia Dongchun bowed first: "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health."

"Please sit down." The queen put down the teacup in her hand and signaled Huichun to serve tea to Xia Dongchun.

"New Year's Eve is just a few days away. The days are passing by so quickly." The Queen spoke first, as if she really wanted to chat with her.

Xia Dongchun smiled and said, "Yes, I have been in the palace for a while without realizing it. I would like to thank the Queen for her care during this period. Otherwise, I really don't know what I should do."

The Queen sighed, "I want to protect you, but... you must have seen the situation in the palace clearly. Concubine Hua is in charge of the six palaces and has strong methods. Sometimes, even if I want to protect you, I am powerless."
