Want to win the palace fight? Better to be crazy than to be idiotic!

"Thank you for your kindness, sister. I usually live in the same palace with you and have received a lot of care from you. I can't express my gratitude enough. There is nothing I can do for you, sister. I can only use tea instead of wine to express my gratitude."

Wang Qian finished her words in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and ordered Xiuzhe to come forward and said,

"Go to the eunuch bureau and get some spring mountain green jade, the best quality, and register it in my name."

Hua Tangdi chuckled twice and said, "Sister and I really get along well!" Then she ordered Xinye to go with Xiuzhe to get some tea, snacks, and fruits.

There is no such thing as regret for not meeting earlier in the palace. Wang Qian and Hua Tangdi lived together for half a month, but the two of them had very little interaction, including but not limited to meeting and greeting, Wang Qian paying respects regularly, Xiuzhe being taken away by Xinye to do the general cleaning, etc. If they really got along well, they would have become good sisters long ago.

Although Wang Qian didn't care about sisterhood, she was currently alone and in urgent need of a strong backer. If she could get help from Concubine Shuo, one of the four concubines, it would pave a lot of roads for her.

Xinye and Xiuzhe followed the order to get the items and left together.

"Since you and I are sisters, I will speak from the bottom of my heart today." Hua Tangdi still had a sweet smile on her face, as if she had been smiling like this since she was born. "Don't think I'm nagging, and don't think I'm worrying too much."

Hua Tangdi and Wang Qian were sitting opposite each other under the shade of a tree by the lake. As soon as Hua Tangdi finished speaking and Wang Qian hadn't spoken yet, the only sound around them was the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind.

Wang Qian seemed calm, but she actually felt at ease in her heart. She thought to herself that Hua Tangdi didn't ask her out just to call her sister.

"Sister doesn't know how to do this." Wang Qian responded sincerely.

"That's good." Hua Tangdi smiled, "My sister is pure-hearted and kind-hearted, and she is generous and tolerant. It is a blessing for me to have my sister in my palace. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get along with her no matter what."

Wang Qian frowned: "Who are you talking about, sister?"

Hua Tangdi did not give a direct answer, but said: "Since entering the palace, my sister has not received the emperor's favor. It is not because my sister lacks talent and affection, but because someone stole your love. My sister should know this very well."

Wang Qian lowered her eyes. Hua Tangdi mentioned the person she least wanted to mention - Su Feiran.

Hua Tangdi was also present when Xiao Lezi passed the message, so it was not surprising that she knew about it. However, Hua Tangdi and Su Feiran had little interaction on weekdays, so why did he mention her now?

"Liu Ronghua..." Wang Qian frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an appropriate adjective, "She is a talent."

"She is so favored right after entering the palace. She must be a talented person." Hua Tangdi nodded slightly. "She is determined to get promoted and has come up with endless means. Who would have thought that the first one to suffer would be her younger sister? And that poor Yang Cainu is the second one."

Wang Qian was unsure of Hua Tangdi's attitude, and still said conservatively: "Sister, you are joking. Liu Ronghua has received much attention from the emperor, and most of the sisters in the palace are also on good terms with her. Let alone feeling resentful, I dare not even show the slightest disrespect."

Hua Tangdi's smile widened: "Sister, you really don't have to be so nervous. In fact, I am doing this for your own good. People in the palace are unpredictable. If you don't make plans early, you might be secretly plotted against. Liu Ronghua is cunning. If she steals your favor once, she will do it again. You are not naive to think that she will stop when she sees the good, right?"

Wang Qian remained silent. Hua Tangdi put away his smile and continued:

"Sister, you entered the palace late, and you don't know what the situation in the harem was like. In the past, the emperor never chose one person to favor. Even if it was a woman as honored as Concubine Jia, he would advise the emperor to stay somewhere else so that the sisters could share the spoils. Sister, as a concubine, has the responsibility to stabilize the harem. Now Liu Ronghua has bewitched the emperor to favor her, and the other sisters are afraid of her momentum and have to give in. Sister, you are very uneasy. If Liu Ronghua continues to be rampant, there may be a big change in the harem. Sister, I want to support the righteous and eliminate the evil, and restore order, but Concubine Xian is protecting her, and I am powerless!"

Hua Tangdi's words sounded strange, but after careful consideration, the underlying meaning was to invite Wang Qian to join forces to deal with Su Feiran.

Although Hua Tangdi had other intentions, every word she said was the truth. In the few times she had met Su Feiran, Wang Qian had already recognized her mean and treacherous face. If she could be removed from the harem, it would indeed give the sisters some peace.

Although Wang Qian wanted to join the group, she was not in a hurry to reply to Hua Tangdi. In the palace, the winners and losers were determined by the intrigues and deceptions. One misstep might lead to eternal damnation. Even though Hua Tangdi was her main queen, she had to let Hua Tangdi show some expression.

"My sister is in a high position, but she is still unable to do what she wants. I, as a noble sister, want to help, but I can do nothing about it." Wang Qian said calmly.

"Sister is a smart person. She should understand that the value of overthrowing Liu Ronghua alone is worth our efforts. Otherwise, the three thousand flowers in the harem will bloom in spring and wither in autumn, and will all end up being 'broken into mud and crushed into dust'."

Hua Tangdi said softly, her beautiful eyes full of worry,

"I understand what you want. But I am of little influence in front of His Majesty, and Concubine Xian also despises me, so I can't give you any decent promises. But if you are in trouble, I will do my best to help you. If I say anything against my true feelings, I will end up in a miserable way and die a miserable death."

Wang Qian was startled, her eyes suddenly widened, and she said in shock: "Why did you swear such a vicious oath for no reason? Sister and I share the same hatred for the enemy, and we shouldn't say these things!"

"Sister, please don't stop me. Otherwise, I can't show my sincerity." Seeing this, Hua Tangdi said seriously, "If you feel that I am a sister worthy of your sincere trust, please follow me to the lakeside for a walk. The summer scenery by Chengxin Lake is prosperous. Although it is early autumn, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will wither after a while, but the scenery will be the same next year. I hope you know that my sincere heart is as warm as this scenery, and it will never stop."

Now that things have been said, if Wang Qian doesn’t agree, it would be a lack of respect.

She stood up, bowed slightly and said, "Sis, you are sincere. I am willing to help you."

"When you see injustice, you draw your sword to help. I was right. My sister is indeed a chivalrous person!" Seeing Wang Qian agreed, Hua Tangdi was delighted. He quickly stood up and took her hand. "Come with me to the lake! Wait for Xinye and Xiuzhe to come back with food, and then we can rest for a while!"

Hua Tangdi was indeed very happy. Wang Qian saw that she did not seem to be pretending and thought about what she had just said. She gradually came to accept it and let down her guard against her.

It seems that Wang Qian had some prejudices against Hua Tangdi in the past, such as "fawning" and "hypocrisy", so she deliberately kept her distance. Now it seems that she was narrow-minded. How can she survive in the deep palace without some tricks? Hua Tangdi asked her to talk today, and she realized that Hua Tangdi was such a sincere, enthusiastic and righteous person.
