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

"Congratulations sister!"

Fei Wan directly asked Zhishu to put on makeup and change clothes in Guanlan Courtyard.

She took out her cosmetics, jewelry, and new clothes.

Zhishu has a better appearance than Concubine Wu, and her temperament is pure and unique. After being dressed up with Feiwan's makeup skills, her appearance is stunning.

Feiwan's jewelry and clothes are more exquisite than what a talented woman could get.

So after packing up, Zhishu got on the Fangluan carriage, which surprised the palace people in front of the emperor.

What's even more peculiar is that Fei Wan, who was standing by the car to see them off, was not wearing any makeup and was even wearing a veil, but she was not outshined by Zhishu.

The beauty of the two complements each other.

Xiao Linzi said a lot of flattering words.

Before Fang Luan started the car, she whispered to Fei Wan to borrow a step to talk.

"My lady, that night in the Imperial Garden, I never expected that this servant would..."

"No need to explain. It was all because of this mischievous servant that she dragged Sister Zhishu along to pick up flower petals. Who would have thought that Your Majesty would actually pick up Sister Zhishu?"

Fei Wan pointed at Xiao Hui and smiled, interrupting Xiao Linzi's uneasy explanation.

Xiao Linzi wanted to come to Fei Wan to explain these days, but he didn't have the time.

That day, he was entrusted by Fei Wan to invite His Majesty to the Imperial Garden. His original intention was to create an opportunity for Fei Wan, but who would have thought that Zhishu would intercept him.

He was afraid that Fei Wan would blame him.

But now that he saw that Fei Wan and Zhi Shu had such a good relationship, he felt a little relieved.

But he didn't know that Fei Wan had set up this game just for Zhishu.

The reason I didn't tell him in advance was that I just didn't trust him yet.

"Sister, please be careful accompanying me tonight."

When Zhishu was about to leave, Feiwan whispered some instructions.

"Don't worry, sister. I know."

Zhishu understood what Feiwan meant.

As for the incident with the old eunuch, although she was not seduced by that guy, the emperor is a man and he might feel uncomfortable.

We must be careful in what we say and do to dispel the emperor's doubts.

The fragrant phoenix's carriage rumbled away into the distance.

Fei Wan watched him go.

What I was thinking in my heart was that the title Zhishu got was the same as in her previous life.

cherry.

This is what I chose when I wanted to ban her for the first time.

She refused.

Now it has been given to Zhishu.

The flower tree given to her was also a cherry blossom.

Does he have a special liking for cherry blossoms?

"The relationship between Zhao Cairen and the newly promoted Cai Nu is really good."

Suddenly, a voice with a smile sounded from the other side of the palace road outside Guanlan Courtyard.

Fei Wan turned around and saw a beautiful woman in a smoky purple dress, coming with two maids holding lanterns.

"Yuan Ronghua Jinan."

Fei Wan squatted and saluted.

"Zhao Cairen is always well-mannered." Yuan Ronghua approached with a friendly smile, watching Fang Luan's carriage disappear into the night. "Unlike some people who are not as high-ranking as you, but have much worse tempers. The other day, I just joked with her, but she got angry and walked away without even saying goodbye. With such an arrogant temper, I'm afraid she will fall soon."

"Where is Ronghua going? I'm sorry I can't accompany you. The wind is a bit strong and I'm not fully recovered yet. I'm afraid I'll get hurt."

Fei Wan didn't criticize Zhishu with her. She made up an excuse and turned back to the courtyard.

Seeing the courtyard door close quickly, Yuan Ronghua bit his lip and looked fierce.

Bitch!

How dare you ignore her.

What's there to be proud of? Isn't it just that I'm more favored than her?

Once the Empress’ order is accomplished, we’ll see if this lowly slave still has the qualifications to act so arrogantly!

"I summoned you today to discuss the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. It will be in half a month. When the banquet is held in the palace, not only you, but also women of the third rank and above outside the palace, as well as women from the royal family, will attend the banquet to celebrate the birthday."

The next day was not a big day for the whole palace to have an audience with the emperor, but concubines of low rank like Zhishu were also summoned to Fengyi Palace early in the morning.

The Queen said that the Queen Mother loved lively occasions, and at the birthday banquet, in addition to the singing and dancing provided by the Palace Music Bureau, she hoped that the concubines with skills could also show off their talents to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

For a moment, the concubines who wanted to show their faces became active and competed to show their talents at the birthday banquet.

But it was not for the Queen Mother to see.

Instead, it was truly shown to the emperor in order to attract his favor.

There are many talented people in the Xianfei faction, and each of them wants to go on stage, but they are suppressed by the Queen. After a confrontation, only two people who support the Xianfei get the chance to go on stage.

The rest of the selected people were not considered to be the virtuous concubine's faction.

Because the emperor gave the empress full authority to organize the empress dowager's birthday banquet, Concubine Xian had no right to compete.

The virtuous concubine sat there, fanning herself with a round fan, and her face looked unhappy.

The Queen continued, "After the birthday banquet, we will summon the best opera troupe in the capital to perform. The repertoire of the palace opera house is very limited, so let the Queen Mother listen to some new things from outside to relieve her boredom."

The Queen asked everyone to recommend famous opera troupes in Beijing.

For a moment, there was a lot of chatter in the hall.

In the end, the queen selected two teams, but was ridiculed by the virtuous concubine.

"The Queen doesn't know much about the business. These two troupes are not as good as the Fu family troupe's performances."

The Queen frowned unhappily.

Yuan Ronghua spoke up for the Queen, but was ridiculed by the virtuous concubines until her face turned red.

When it comes to the Fu family, even the concubines who are not from the Xianfei faction are tempted.

It’s just because the Fu family is really powerful.

"Very well, then. I consent to invite this troupe. However, if the play is not good and fails to receive the Empress Dowager's praise, those of you who recommended it will be punished by me."

The virtuous concubine fanned herself and said leisurely, "Just tell her, the Queen Mother will surely like it."

"I hope so."

The queen looked gloomy.

But Feiwan looked up from the crowd.

But he felt a hint of pride flash across the queen's eyes, which disappeared in an instant.

What? Is there something strange about inviting a troupe of actors?

However, the topic of the birthday banquet ended quickly, and Fei Wan had no chance to observe the queen anymore.

She took it to heart and decided to look into it more carefully later.

You should know that the virtuous concubine in her previous life suffered at this birthday banquet.

"Where is Yingcainv? Come closer." The queen suddenly looked for Zhishu.

Zhishu stepped out and paid homage to the queen.

She received the title last night, and today she was supposed to meet the Queen to receive instructions, but the Queen kept talking about the birthday banquet, so she didn't have the chance yet.

The queen asked her to get up.

Call Fei Wan over as well.

He smiled and said, "I heard that you two are very harmonious. Ying Cainu's bedchamber was prepared by Zhao Cairen. Your mutual support is truly a role model for the women in the harem. I hope that you two will be of one mind and serve His Majesty well in the future."

"Yes, ma'am."

Feiwan and Zhishu listened to the instructions together.

Everyone knew that the queen deliberately put them together in front of others to make people jealous of their recent favor.

It would be fine if it was just one person, but both of them are favored and they even joined forces.

Wouldn't that make people even more disgusted?

But Fei Wan didn't explain anything and let others' jealous eyes linger on herself and Zhishu.

After leaving Fengyi Palace, she whispered to Concubine Wu and Zhishu, "The Queen is about to take action. Recently, everyone can have reliable people secretly observe the movements in Fengyi Palace and inform me of anything that happens."

The two nodded.

Yuan Ronghua passed by and saw the three of them whispering. She raised her voice and joked, "Wu Guiren also wants to support them? But you are not as delicate as two newcomers, so sister, please don't bother."

Concubine Wu immediately turned hostile: "Being delicate has its advantages, and I have my advantages. Ronghua, stop worrying about this. If you have time, you might as well go back and practice keeping your eyes open, so His Majesty doesn't think you're asleep when he sees you."

Yuan Ronghua's face suddenly turned dark.

Her eyes are long and narrow, smaller than those of ordinary people, but not ugly, and have a unique charm.

But at this time, Concubine Wu spoke so badly about her.

He said angrily, "How dare you commit treason!"

"It's just a joke, why are you angry, sister? It's just a small eye, but His Majesty doesn't like a small heart."

Concubine Wu smiled.

He is very ruthless with his words.

Although Rong Hua is one level higher than her, she was born in the Qiandi Palace and has more seniority.

And they are all unpopular, so she is not afraid of Yuan Ronghua.

Yuan Ronghua ran away in anger.

Fei Wan couldn't help laughing.

Said: "Sister Wu, I suddenly thought of what talent you should use to attract His Majesty."

"What? Tell me!"

Concubine Wu asked in surprise.
