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

"Climbing up the social ladder? With the Empress backing you up, you don't even kneel, and you don't even come back. You haven't been known for most of the day. I left someone to watch you kneeling as punishment, but was scolded by the Empress. Sister Xia He, Aunt Xia He, you are indeed someone in the Imperial Court, so much higher than a slave like me from the Xinzheku, right? It's really unfair for you to be my maid. You should hurry back to the Imperial Court and serve His Majesty! One day you will be promoted to a concubine, and maybe your status will be much higher than mine! I just don't know if your pig-headed appearance can catch His Majesty's eye!"

He Shuangying started to mock him.

Xia He, who had dragged her legs in to pay her respects, was scolded so badly that she couldn't even raise her head.

The other two palace maids in the room quickly knelt down and begged the young lady to calm down.

He Shuangying stared at them and said with forbearance, "All of you stand up. Aunt Xia He won't kneel, so why are you kneeling? Did I say anything to you? I didn't say anything, did I?"

The two palace maids stood up tremblingly.

I was surprised to find that the young lady who had cursed others actually started crying.

"I'm a person who values ​​etiquette. Xia He, you've forced me into this state, forcing me to become unrecognizable, to speak without restraint, to become someone I don't even recognize. How could you be so cruel?"

Xia He:?

"Xia He, please go back to Chen Qian Palace now. My temple is too small to accommodate a great Bodhisattva. You all should go out too. I want to be alone and quiet!"

He Shuangying cried and pushed the people out of the house.

Xia He had difficulty walking and was pushed to the ground.

His forehead hit the door frame, breaking it.

She didn't dare cry out in pain, stumbling back to her servants' room. She spent most of the day feeling cold, hungry, and in pain, with a headache and drowsiness, crying secretly under her quilt.

Jasmine, the palace maid in the main courtyard in front, nimbly climbed through the window and sneaked into the house in the second half of the night. The window frame was painted with a kind of clear oil commonly used by thieves, so there was no sound when the window was opened.

After handing over what Xiangyi had prepared to Xia He, Jasmine tiptoed out the window and left without anyone noticing.

Xia He held the medicine bottle and thought of all the kindness Fei Wan had shown her in the past.

I cried quietly again.

……

"Your Majesty, these clothes you prepared are so beautiful. Not only will the Princess love them, but even the concubines would want to wear them, don't you think?"

Fei Wan prepared a birthday gift for the eldest princess, and the other concubines in Chunxi Palace all praised it when they saw it.

He Shuangying was particularly impressed and kept looking at the clothes.

Fei Wan asked them to show the gifts they had prepared.

Fei Wan's gift was clothes. The other three concubines gave rose water for food, specially formulated to nourish the spleen and stomach of children; a delicate curtain of soft gauze embroidered with hundreds of butterflies, and a pair of soft-soled embroidered children's shoes with pearls hanging on the toes.

The only one left was He Shuangying, who sang two festive songs softly.

Everyone praised each other's gifts.

In the warm atmosphere, Fei Wan smiled and said, "This dress of mine is actually not finished yet. Although it looks good at first glance, I always feel that the pattern is a bit monotonous. Take a look, do you think it needs some embroidery? But I haven't decided what pattern to add or which embroiderer to use in the needlework bureau to do it."

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Your Majesty, but during my time at the laundry department, I did get to know an embroiderer from the needlework department. She was very skilled and was best at making children's clothes. However, she offended the manager above her and was thrown into the laundry department to do hard labor. Look, Your Majesty, this handkerchief of mine was embroidered by her!"

He Shuangying was the first to suggest and took out her handkerchief.

Fei Wan thought to herself, I've been waiting for you to say that.

Those who were watching He Shuangying had already discovered that she had secretly gone to see an embroiderer recently.

Since she suggested that Fei Wan prepare clothes and find an embroiderer, Fei Wan offered her a pillow for her to sleep on.

"This handkerchief is beautifully embroidered. Bring it to me someday to show me. I used to have a regular embroiderer, but children's clothes are different from other clothes. They need to be good at hiding the needle and thread, and make sure the patterns don't hurt the child's skin after embroidery. If the embroiderer you recommend is good, I will use yours."

He Shuangying became more active in fighting for it after hearing this.

This reckless spirit makes people wonder what kind of evil things she can do.

After teasing her, Fei Wan will ignore her.

When the embroiderer came over that day, and after some discussion, Fei Wan decided to let the embroiderer embroider the gift clothes for the eldest princess.

……

Cao Bin sent people outside the palace to inquire about the eldest princess's horoscope, and the result came out two days before the eldest princess's birthday.

Several well-known folk Taoist priests in and around the capital, without knowing the eldest princess's identity, said that her eight characters were special, indicating that she was not an ordinary person and had the potential to swallow mountains and rivers. Another said that reading this eight characters would shorten one's life, so he refused to do it.

The remaining one said that the owner of this horoscope will die a violent death.

Cao Bin reported the truth to the emperor.

Not an ordinary person, he swallowed up mountains and rivers, and died a violent death...

The emperor pondered these words over and over again.

The predictions of the Imperial Observatory were somewhat similar to the one that indicated she was born with the Golden Phoenix. As for the outcome, the Imperial Observatory officials didn't directly disclose it, only saying that the eldest princess would face a difficult future.

Is it beneficial to the country? Is it overwhelming?

The emperor slowly revealed a faint smile.

The Queen Mother is dead, and the Emperor's star is shining. This little girl finally used her extremely powerful horoscope to kill the old lady. Will she become a helper to her father in the future?

As for whether she died a violent death in the end, it is not so important.

"Issue an order that the eldest princess' birthday be celebrated with great fanfare, and have the Empress and Consort Zhao pay more attention."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Not to mention that the birthday banquet was still two days away. After receiving the imperial edict, Queen Yan needed to rack her brains and make another effort to upgrade the banquet that was originally planned to be held as an ordinary palace banquet.

In a remote palace, Concubine Ming felt relieved when she received the news.

I couldn't help but hold the child and kneel down in the direction of Fengming Palace and Chunxi Palace.

If it weren't for the Empress and Concubine Zhao's help, her daughter would not be able to clear the bad reputation of being too tough, and they would still be living under the shadow of the palace maid Aunt Li!

She was not grateful to the emperor at all.

The emperor, who had doted on her in the past but abandoned her and her daughter because of the time of the child's birth, had long made her disheartened.

That Aunt Li was sent by the emperor to "look after" the eldest princess.

In fact, if you ask yourself, Concubine Ming hates the emperor deeply!

Now, the newly replaced palace maids in her courtyard, the newly renovated houses, the newly sent decorations, jewelry, and all kinds of food, clothing and daily necessities were all obtained under the care of the Empress and Concubine Zhao.

Although Concubine Zhao said something strange to her, which made her feel entangled...

But after secretly thinking and analyzing these days, she gradually let down her guard and felt the sincere kindness of Concubine Zhao.

"Nannan, it was the Queen and Empress Zhao who helped us. We must find an opportunity to repay them in the future."

Privately, she whispered to her daughter.

The eldest princess nodded in confusion.

Hug your mother's neck tightly.

Two days later, a birthday banquet was held at the newly renovated Xianyue Palace, with all the concubines present. The eldest princess, who usually didn't see many people, was very nervous and still clung tightly to her mother's neck. From the moment she appeared, she buried her head in her mother's arms, not daring to look at anyone.

When He Shuangying saw that the eldest princess was wearing the clothes prepared by Fei Wan, she slowly blinked her hazy eyes and showed a dignified and appropriate smile.
