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

Snow fell all night.

The next morning, there was an inch of snow on the ground.

After all, it is not a very cold season yet. When the sun comes out, half of the snow will melt away in the sun.

The snow dripped from the eaves, and it was crystal clear in the sunlight, which was very lovely.

Queen Yan ordered people to send a cup of red date and wolfberry tea to each palace.

They said that they stayed up late last night and it was cold today, so the concubines needed to replenish their bodies.

Linglong and other senior palace maids personally delivered the gifts to the main concubines, while the palace maids in the kitchen delivered the gifts to the lower-ranking concubines.

The one who came to Chunxi Palace was Linglong.

Only Xiaohui was present in the hall. Knowing that she was Feiwan's confidante, she handed the food box directly to Xiaohui, lifted her skirt and knelt in front of Feiwan, thanking Feiwan for the timely reminder before the birthday party, which saved her money.

In addition to her own gratitude, she also brought a message to Queen Yan.

"The Empress has not been able to speak directly to you privately recently. Even during the joint audience, we haven't had the opportunity to speak heart-to-heart, so I've asked this servant to convey my gratitude to you. The Empress said that when love lasts, it doesn't matter if you're together day and night, and the same goes for sisters. The Empress is thinking of you, and I know you're thinking of her. Once the He family incident is over, we can gradually resume our interactions."

Linglong took out two huge pearls from her sleeve pocket, wrapped each with woolen thread, and placed them on Feiwan's table.

"When the Empress was rummaging through boxes, she found some playthings from her boudoir. There were three of these beads. The Empress kept one for herself, and these two are for you to play with. The Empress said that she would not easily give away old things from her boudoir. As long as you, the Imperial Concubine, understand her feelings, that's all that matters."

The two beads are extremely large.

It is bigger than the largest pearl the emperor gave to Feiwan.

But it was just an old plaything of Queen Yan's boudoir.

The financial strength of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is evident from this.

However, the value of this pearl is not its price, but its friendship.

Fei Wan gladly accepted it, found a bright red gem from her dressing table, and gave it to Linglong to take back as a gift.

"This is not as good as the pearls Sister Yan gave me. It makes Sister understand my heart."

Linglong carefully put the gem into her sleeve pocket.

Let’s talk about He’s again.

It snowed, and the palace residents rarely left their homes. Empress Yan sent people to deliver tea everywhere, but she herself stayed out. However, Concubine De was different. She was ordered to investigate the matter of the eldest princess's clothes. Early in the morning, she summoned the relevant palace servants to Lincui Palace to report, and then personally went to various places to investigate.

At this time, I was asking He Shuangying at Guanlan Courtyard.

Linglong said, "The person who tampered with this servant's purse has confessed. We're waiting for He Shi to gather other evidence and bring it to the Imperial Court. However, the Empress Dowager understands that this incident will only lead to the embroiderer and will most likely not implicate He Shi. She can still live in Guanlan Courtyard. The Empress Dowager believes she may rise again in the future, so she wanted to ask the Imperial Concubine's opinion: should she still go?"

Fei Wan warned, "Your Majesty still has feelings for He and intends to use her, so Your Majesty will have to be patient and let her be an eyesore for a while. This is originally a small matter, and now that we have the troublemaker He Shuangying in our palace, it won't affect anything. But there is one thing Your Majesty needs to pay attention to - I heard that Marquis Xie of Wucheng is going to the border. Does Your Majesty know what the Duke's Mansion is planning?"

Linglong didn't expect Feiwan to mention this.

"What does the Imperial Concubine mean?"

"Pardon my sarcasm, but perhaps the Empress has already thought of this. Although Lord Xie is a young hero, he is still young and has experienced many dangers on the battlefield. If the Xie family cannot provide him with reliable guards, it is very important for the Zhenguo Mansion and the Empress to secretly help ensure Lord Xie's safety."

Linglong bowed and said, "I've made note of this and will definitely pass your words on to Her Majesty. Please make it clear to Her Majesty."

Fei Wan was about to explain why protecting Xie Weizhou was so important to the Yan family.

But I heard a commotion in the yard.

He Shuangying's crying and Defei's scolding quickly approached the main hall.
