She always plays cards out of the ordinary

As soon as Xia Dongchun finished speaking, Fu Cha Xinyun saw An Lingrong's face flushed red. She seemed to be unhappy. Fu Cha Xinyun sighed inwardly. Only two women came, and it was so troublesome. If there were more, she would not be able to celebrate her promotion.

Fu Cha Xinyun joked, "It seems that Concubine Xia has a lot of good things. Why don't I come and discuss it with Concubine Xia, and ask Concubine Xia to let me see some of them."

Although Xia Dongchun was stupid, Fu Cha Xin Yun had obviously just been favored by the emperor. She still didn't dare to go against Fu Cha Xin Yun at this time, so she just smiled and said, "Sister, you are embarrassing me. How can I compare with you?"

Fu Cha Xinyun nodded and understood. She just couldn't, not that she didn't dare. This Concubine Xia was really a wonderful person.

Xia Dongchun looked at the sky and thought that he was already giving face by coming here to sit for a while. It was not too late now and maybe he could go and sit with the Queen Mother, so he said goodbye.

"Today is my sister's big day. Logically, I should accompany her, but I still have to go to the Queen, so I'll take my leave first."

What she said made An Lingrong hold her forehead in her hand. Couldn't she just find any other excuse? Did she have to bring up the Queen?

Fu Cha Xinyun also felt very uncomfortable. This Concubine Xia was flaunting herself everywhere and offending people under the banner of the Queen. She wondered if the Queen knew about it?

Of course the Queen knew that Xia Dongchun was a talkative person and had offended countless people openly and secretly since he entered the palace. The Queen did not want such a fool.

So as soon as Xia Dongchun arrived at Jingren Palace, she was turned away. If the Queen hadn't thought she was still of some use, she would have been secretly dealt with by her long ago.

Jianqiu escorted Xia Dongchun out with a gentle look on her face. "Your Majesty felt a little unwell last night and is resting now. I hope Concubine Xia will not mind."

Xia Dongchun was confused by Jianqiu's attitude and mistakenly thought that the queen was very satisfied with her. She asked anxiously, "Your Majesty is not feeling well. Should I go in and take care of her?"

As she was about to rush in, Jianqiu was startled and quickly held her back, "Your Majesty is just feeling a little unwell, just take a rest. Your Majesty naturally understands your intentions, but Concubine Xia has just entered the palace, and it is time for her to serve the Emperor well. If you can gain the Emperor's favor and give birth to a child for the royal family, this will be the best reward for Your Majesty the Empress."

Xia Dongchun was fooled by Jianqiu and was filled with passion. It turned out that the Queen thought so highly of him. He must repay the Queen.

Xia Dongchun walked out of Jingren Palace in a daze. When passing by the Imperial Garden, she happened to hear two palace maids whispering.

"Empress Hua is too arrogant. The autumn tea tribute from the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been taken away by Yikun Palace before Jingren Palace even comes to pick it up."

"But there are many concubines who have just entered the palace this year. Who knows, there may be some favored ones among them who will definitely be able to get the autumn tea. If Concubine Hua is like this, then the new concubines in the palace will not be able to drink it even if they want to."

"Of course not. Concubine Hua probably doesn't want these people to drink. Otherwise, we have never seen Concubine Hua take all the good things."

"I think she just doesn't want to make life easy for the newcomers."

The two maids walked away while talking, and when Xia Dongchun came out from behind the rockery, she had already disappeared. Xia Dongchun thought about what she had just heard, secretly felt that Hua Fei had robbed her of this year's share, and thought about the Queen's expectations of her just now, and made a decision.

After Xia Dongchun left, An Lingrong should have followed, but she hesitated for a moment and stayed where she was.

Fu Cha Xinyun thought An Lingrong had something to ask, and was about to ask, when An Lingrong came over and said, "Lingrong was born in a humble family, and I don't have any valuables. This purse was embroidered by Lingrong myself, I hope you don't mind it, sister."

Fu Cha Xinyun is not Xia Dongchun. She was ready to praise An Lingrong, but when she took the purse, she found that this An Lingrong's craftsmanship was so good.

Fu Cha Xinyun looked at the purse from left to right, her face full of joy, "Sister is really good at craftsmanship, this purse is embroidered so beautifully, the peach blossoms on it are so lifelike, I have never seen such a beautifully embroidered purse! I am reluctant to use it."

An Lingrong felt quite embarrassed when she was praised by Fu Cha Xinyun. Firstly, she had never been praised so directly before. Secondly, although the material of the purse was the best of all her materials, she had never received any reward since entering the palace. How could this fabric compare with the reward from the emperor?

It was just that Noble Lady Fucha, who lived in the same palace, was promoted, so she had to come and congratulate her no matter what. After thinking it over, she gave her the purse she had just embroidered.

An Lingrong's lips curled up slightly. No matter how steady a person is, she would be happy to be praised. "It's just some small techniques. If you like it, I'll embroider a few more for you."

Although Fu Cha Xinyun likes it, she will not ask An Lingrong to embroider more. They are not that familiar with each other. Giving you one is enough. Why would it be endless?

"It's good to have just one. Sister, please don't overwork yourself or you might hurt your eyes."

An Lingrong nodded, "Yes, I understand."

That night, because Fu Cha Xinyun was given a title, the dinner was unusually sumptuous. Although it was still the six-course meal plus snacks that were standard for a noble lady, the difference was huge.

For example, if there is a portion of mutton in the meal, it can be a mutton soup pot or mutton buns with all kinds of stuffing. Anyway, as long as there is mutton, you can't make trouble.

Not only that, the amount of mutton and the taste of the mutton also make a difference.

So tonight's dinner allowed Fu Cha Xinyun to witness the skills of the imperial chef. It turned out that those who can be imperial chefs are quite capable.

In addition to the sumptuous and delicious meal, the kitchen also sent over a few snacks. Yes, they sent them voluntarily, free of charge.

As soon as Fu Cha Xinyun finished eating, Zhitao brought up the snacks offered by the kitchen, "My lady, this is from the kitchen manager. He said that if you like anything, just tell the kitchen and he will have someone prepare it. This is longan and lotus seed soup, this is jujube paste and yam cake, and this is rose water. It is said that the ladies like to drink it very much."

Fu Cha Xinyun tasted them one by one, and they were really different from yesterday. It seems that if you have favor, everything is easy, but if you don't, you can only watch.

In the next few days, Yinzhen began to slowly summon concubines to sleep with him. After all, the big bed was no longer possible, so he had to make do with the small bed.

Because Yinzhen brought the two princes from the garden back to the palace and let them study with the third prince Hongshi, a giant of the Qing Dynasty, what would the queen think when she placed her hopes on Hongshi?

The Queen leaned on the couch, her hand supporting her forehead, and said anxiously, "What is the Emperor thinking? Hongli and Hongzhou are of humble origins and were not raised in the palace. They are like wild children. If we bring them back to the palace, what if they lead Hongshi astray?"
