The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

Fei Wan pretended not to notice the eagerness in Yu Sujin's eyes and only smiled at her: "You came at this time, I guess you haven't had dinner yet?"

He then ordered the maid to bring a chair and let Yu Sujin sit down and eat with him.

Yu Sujin took her eyes off the jewelry and turned to see the exquisite dishes on the table in front of Fei Wan.

The food is both delicious and beautiful. This one is carved into the shape of a flower, and the pastry is baked to a greasy texture. It is a home-cooked meal that is even more sumptuous and exquisite than a banquet hosted by an ordinary family for guests.

Looking at Feiwan again, although she was wearing home clothes, a simple, soft, pale green silk skirt with a hint of emerald green, the beads on her hair were large and round, and of excellent quality. The two drop pendants on her ears were also glossy and shiny, and in the dim light of the evening, they were extremely eye-catching.

Yu Sujin couldn't calm down.

He lowered his head, smiled apologetically, and bowed properly to Fei Wan, saying, "Your Majesty, best wishes."

"I was overjoyed to hear that Your Majesty had been promoted. I only hoped to congratulate you properly upon your return to the palace. But yesterday, Your Majesty was tired, so I didn't dare disturb you. Today, I heard that Your Majesty was a little unwell. I am worried about you, but I am also afraid to disturb you. It's really a dilemma. After much thought, I couldn't help but come to pay my respects to Your Majesty. I want to see how Your Majesty is doing and whether I can be of any use to you."

She spoke softly, her expression gentle and her face full of concern.

If her eyes weren't always glancing at Feiwan's headdress, she would be a truly gentle and polite sister.

Fei Wan put down her chopsticks and smiled, looking dignified and gentle.

"We're all family, why are you being so formal? You still call me 'Niangniang'? Shouldn't you call me 'Sister'?"

Yu Sujin's eyes jumped, a little surprised: "...Is it okay?"

"Why not? I've already been included in the family tree. I'm Madam's biological daughter. The Yu family has acknowledged me. Don't you recognize me?"

"Sister, I dare not!" Yu Sujin immediately changed her words, took half a step forward, and clearly called out "Elder Sister".

In the past, she called Yu Tingjin like this.

This time, the call of "Elder Sister" was sweeter than ever before.

"Is elder sister okay? What made her sick?" she asked with concern.

"It's just a cold. It will be fine after a few days of rest."

"Then, elder sister, please take good care of me. If there's anything I can do for you, please let me know."

"Thank you for your concern. With a considerate sister like you, all my illnesses are cured."

Fei Wan smiled, pointed at the chair and asked her to sit down again.

The maid had already added cups and chopsticks. They were made of top-quality imperial kiln porcelain, smooth, white, and delicate, with a thin and transparent body. The porcelain was actually somewhat transparent, with a faint luster.

"Thank you, elder sister. I will obey your command."

Yu Sujin sat sideways to show her respect to Fei Wan.

Seeing Fei Wan continued to eat, she smiled, raised her slender fingers painted with crimson nail polish, gently picked up the spoon with one hand, held up the translucent white porcelain cup with the other hand, and took a sip of the hot soup served by the maid.

After taking a bite, the fragrance fills your cheeks.

I have never tasted such good fish soup.

There is no fishy smell at all, only a light sweetness lingering in the mouth, which is very memorable.

She glanced sideways and glanced at Fei Wan secretly.

It is said that people look the ugliest when they are eating, but Fei Wan has an elegant figure and graceful temperament, and every casual movement of hers is very beautiful.

She still clearly remembered how rude and stupid Fei Wan was when she first entered the Yu Mansion two years ago.

The palace is really good for people.

Even fish eyes can turn into pearls here, let alone... real pearls?

Yu Sujin accompanied Fei Wan to finish her meal, and then accompanied her to help digest the food and chat. They talked about the process of visiting her parents and the past days. Her words were extremely intimate and flattering.

It was as if I had been Fei Wan's sister for several lifetimes.

Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly heated, she finally brought up the topic: "Last time, my elder sister advised me to let go. After careful consideration, I realized that you were doing it all for my own good. Elder sister, I will listen to you. From now on, I will live peacefully in the palace, serve His Majesty, and accompany you. We will support each other for the rest of our lives."

I'm not trying to persuade you, isn't this what you really want? Fei Wan smiled and didn't say anything: "It's good that you can think it through."

Yu Sujin smiled shyly.

She lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, then raised her head again and said tentatively: "Sister, I have an idea, I wonder if it is appropriate..."

"Just say it."

"Then, I'll speak boldly... Eldest sister, I heard that His Majesty is ill, and I want to visit him. I only ask for your permission. If you have any words or things, I can bring them to His Majesty for you."

Fei Wan smiled and said, "You are also a concubine appointed by His Majesty himself. If you want to visit the patient, just go. Why do you need my permission?"

Yu Sujin's pale eyelashes trembled like bee wings, and she said shyly, "Eldest sister, I was thinking... You've been ill recently, and your close sister Ying is also not feeling well. With so many people in the palace, it's inevitable that someone will snatch your favor at this time. Of course, your favor is unmatched by others, but it would be unlucky if someone took advantage of you even slightly. Anyway, I will have to serve His Majesty sooner or later, so why not help you now."

She looked at Fei Wan cautiously: "Elder sister, what do you say?"

Very good!

You are quite anxious!

Fei Wan smiled and nodded approvingly: "It's good that you are so thoughtful."

Yu Sujin was delighted. "Then, elder sister, I will go to the Imperial Court in a moment. It's just right. If you have anything, just let me present it to His Majesty. It can be considered an errand. Otherwise, I will go there in vain and let His Majesty misunderstand that I am not visiting the patient, but rather seeking an opportunity to seek something."

You clearly want it, but you insist on using someone else's name to get it.

Fei Wan smiled and said, "That's not very appropriate. I've already sent gifts to His Majesty several times today. It's late now. Sending you again would be too deliberate and would make people think I'm using you as a pretext for someone else's affairs. You're my sister, and I can't let you be talked about and looked down upon."

When Yu Sujin heard the word "pillow and bed", her face turned red as if blood could drip out.

She smiled awkwardly, "As long as I can help my sister, I'm willing to listen to what others say."

So anxious.

Fei Wan secretly sneered at her for being impatient.

He smiled faintly, "There's no need to rush into serving the Emperor. It depends on fate and timing. When fate and timing are right, everything will fall into place. Right now, His Majesty is ill and weary of deep thought. He might not be in the mood to accept a newcomer. Please wait. When the right opportunity arises, I will naturally promote you."

The words were so clear that Yu Sujin's face froze slightly, but she kept smiling: "It's my younger sister who misunderstood. I will listen to my elder sister."

The maid came to report that Linglong, the head maid of Changle Palace, had arrived, bringing some supplements to visit the patient.

Fei Wan claimed to be tired yesterday and sick today. She did not receive any concubines. She turned away anyone who came to congratulate her or sent someone to deliver gifts, and only asked the palace servants to politely accept and return the gifts.

The virtuous concubine never sent anyone.

It's already late for Linglong to come now.

It was obvious that Concubine Xian was very bothered by Fei Wan's claim of illness and her refusal to meet him. Otherwise, given her personality, she would have already fulfilled all the formalities.

"Let her in." Fei Wan decided to meet Linglong.

And he still didn't let anyone put away the exquisite jewels bestowed by the emperor on the table.

As soon as Linglong entered the room, she saw the pearls and jades like Yu Sujin.

"Greetings to Empress Zhao."

She was much calmer than Yu Sujin. She only glanced at him and then bowed as usual. She bowed respectfully and asked the maid behind her to bring the supplements given by the virtuous concubine.

"We heard that the Empress was ill, and she was very concerned about her. Unfortunately, she was too busy to come over, so she sent this servant to visit." Linglong smiled. "The Empress looks well, and I think she's recovering soon."

He pointed out to Fei Wan's face that her illness was not serious, but she refused to see Concubine Xian.

Fei Wan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Xian. I'm in good spirits, but I'm not very strong. That's why I can't go to Changle Palace to pay my respects. It would be rude to lie down and rest before I can even say a few words."

"In that case, Empress Zhao, rest assured and take care of yourself. I will go back and report to our Empress and tell her that Empress Zhao needs to recuperate for a while. Let us take care of the palace affairs first."

The power of assistance is what Concubine Xian is most concerned about.

Linglong brought it up so directly, and Feiwan didn't argue with her. She just nodded gently, "That's perfect."

Linglong said goodbye: "Our queen is busy, so it is inconvenient for me to stay for long. Please rest and recuperate, Queen Zhao."

"Sister, you take care of it. I won't bother you anymore. I'll come back to accompany you tomorrow."

Yu Sujin stood up from her seat.

After saying goodbye to Fei Wan, he followed Ling Long out of Chunxi Palace.

Fei Wan saw her walk out of the house through the window and quickened her pace. She couldn't help but laugh: "What are you busy doing? Don't walk too fast or you'll fall."

Soon, a servant outside, Xiao Mazi, came to report that after Concubine Yu went out, she took a detour and caught up with Linglong.
