Guyu nodded.

"Your Highness is right. I never thought that Eunuch Xiao would really join our Zhonghe Palace. If Your Highness can control the Ministry of Internal Affairs with the help of Eunuch Xiao, it will surely be a great help to Your Highness in the future. Before, Your Highness had no connections in the harem. It is a happy thing that Eunuch Xiao can express his attitude today and stand on Your Highness' side."

Danzhen also said, "But, Madam, is it because Zhang Fufa was deprived of power last night that Eunuch Xiao chose you?"

Lin Junxue curled her lips and looked at Danzhen who still had doubts.

"Zhang Fufa's seizure of power is a signal from me to Xiao Cheng. As for how he chooses, it is his business."

Lin Junxue was somewhat sure about this matter because Xiao Cheng had no choice.

He looked down upon the concubines in the harem because they were of low rank. Zhang Fufa had already joined Chen Xier. In this situation, he was his best choice.

He needs himself as a backer, and she needs Xiao Cheng to consolidate her power in the harem.

So in the end, the two of them were just using each other.

Xiao Cheng had just arrived at Zhonghe Palace when Zhang Fufa and his men arrived at Xianya Palace.

When Zhang Fufa saw Chen Xier, he started to cry and snot, and told her everything Gao Cheng had told him last night, exaggerating it.

After hearing what Zhang Fufa said, Chen Xier's face turned frighteningly cold.

昨夜

The emperor went to Zhonghe Palace again and personally asked Gao Cheng to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to convey his oral instructions.

That bitch Lin Junxue must have said something in front of the emperor?

It seems that Lin Junxue already knows that Zhang Fufa is hers.

Chen Xier kept silent with a gloomy face. Zhang Fufa secretly glanced at her and was about to continue crying.

Chen Xier spoke impatiently, "Enough, you useless thing, you only know how to cry. I promoted you to be the deputy chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Look at your behavior. I know about this. You go back first. Recently, stay away from Xiao Cheng and don't let anyone catch you in any mistakes. I will find a way to say a few good words for you in front of the emperor."

When Zhang Fufa heard this, he quickly expressed his loyalty again.

"Your Majesty, I was promoted by you personally, and I have always been loyal to you without any second thoughts. Now that the Queen knows that I am your servant, she will definitely try every means to take away my power in front of the Emperor. You don't even know that early this morning, that old fellow Xiao Cheng brought his apprentice Xiao Xiazi to the Zhonghe Palace in person. He must have gone to flatter the Queen. If I lose my power in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how can I serve you in the future?"

Chen Xier was very annoyed by Zhang Fufa's shrill howling.

She said impatiently, "I know. Why are you so anxious? I have my own way. The Queen won't be so rampant for a few days. After a while, your power as the deputy chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be back. Go down and stop chattering here. It's giving me a headache."

Chen Xier thought about what she had painstakingly planned, and she was confident that it would be accomplished in no more than a month.

Deputy Master Zhang looked at Chen Xier's face and said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, I feel relieved when you say that. I will leave first."

After Deputy Zhang left, Zishuang carefully served him a cup of tea.

"Your Highness, what did the Queen say to the Emperor? She even asked the Emperor to personally send Eunuch Gao to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pass on the order."

Chen Xier sneered and said disdainfully, "The emperor has been seduced by the bitch Lin Junxue recently. It must be Lin Junxue who instigated discord in front of the emperor and said bad things about Zhang Fufa."

Zi Shuang nodded and agreed, "Your Majesty is right. It must be the Queen who said bad things about Eunuch Zhang. However, Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. As long as that thing is accomplished, the Queen will definitely lose the Emperor's heart again. At that time, the harem will still be yours, Your Majesty, and no one can get past you."

Zi Shuang had been with Chen Xier for many years, so she naturally knew what she liked to hear. These words made Chen Xier's gloomy expression much better.

in the afternoon

Zhonghe Palace

Lin Junxue is practicing calligraphy in the book room

There were many calligraphy works left by the original owner. She would practice for an hour every day and would not allow anyone to disturb her for fear of missing any tricks.

After all, she is not the original owner and has no foundation. She just practiced with her grandfather for two years in modern times.

Her calligraphy might be impressive in modern times, but in ancient times it is simply not worthy of being mentioned.

Therefore, I can only practice diligently, for fear that a flaw will be revealed one day.

After being confined to the house and practicing for a while, her handwriting was finally 70% to 80% similar to the original owner's.

Every time she finished practicing calligraphy, she would burn it, for fear that it would be obtained by someone with ulterior motives, which would not be a good thing.

However, even if she was 70% or 80% like him, Lin Junxue knew that it was not enough. Whenever she had time, she would work hard to catch up in this library. On weekdays, she also read various books.

The original owner was proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it was hard for her as a modern person. She had to start from scratch and could not slack off at all.

At this moment, she was in the study, just burning the calligraphy she had practiced, when she heard Qiao Xin's voice at the door.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yue and Concubine Shen are here. They said they have nothing to do and want to talk to you. Would you like to invite them in?"

Lin Junxue frowned slightly.

Shen Huachun and Yuepin came together? It's quite interesting. When did these two get together?

Last time, I punished the personal maid of Concubine Yue who bullied Danzhen, and Concubine Yue reported illness, so she didn't come to pay respects these few days. Now this person suddenly came to Zhonghe Palace with Shen Huachun.

Lin Junxue looked at the papers burning to ashes in the brazier, turned around and opened the door of the study.

"Well, let them wait in the palace. I will come after changing my clothes."

Qiao Xin said, "My lady, I understand."

Lin Junxue nodded slightly, "Well, go ahead."

Hall

Shen Huachun pretended to cover her belly, but it had been more than a month and her pregnancy was not noticeable at all.

Shen Huachun looked like he had such a big belly that he couldn't walk.

A trace of disdain flashed in Yuepin's eyes

The dragon fetus in Shen Huachun's belly is not even three months old, but she is showing off like this. Whether she can keep it or not is another matter.

Although she thought so in her heart, Yuepin kept praising Shen Huachun, saying that this baby must be a healthy prince, which naturally made Shen Huachun very happy.

They called each other "sister" and were extremely affectionate. The two chatted very harmoniously. Qiao Xin watched silently.

When Lin Junxue came out, Yuepin stood up first, followed by Shen Huachun.

The two of them greeted the Queen with "May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

Looking at the dazzling Lin Junxue in front of her, Concubine Yue couldn't help feeling jealous.

In the past few days, the emperor has been to Zhonghe Palace more times than in the previous year combined. Lin Junxue must have really been favored this time.

In the past, although Lin Junxue had the title of queen, she was not favored. But if she had both now, which woman in the harem could sleep peacefully again?

Shen Huachun didn't feel much better when he looked at Lin Junxue's beauty.

Lin Junxue looked at the two and whispered, "Get up, two sisters. Why are you so free today? Come sit in my Zhonghe Palace."

Then, Lin Junxue walked slowly to the main seat and sat down.

Guyu served tea, stepped aside and stood with Qiaoxin.
