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

Ma Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly, baring his yellow teeth. "This is what I prepared for your majesty to use in a magic show. I gave the guards at the palace gate several taels of silver before letting me bring it in. Young man, don't make a fuss. I'll give you some silver too. After I've finished performing the magic show for your majesty, if he's happy to reward me with gold and silver, I'll share some with you!"

The eunuch was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

After refusing his silver and carefully examining the items, he confirmed that they were not dangerous, as they were made of wood and could not be used as weapons. He then allowed him to take them with him when he took a bath and put on new clothes.

I then reported the matter to Cao Bin for record.

Cao Bin ran up to the emperor and told him all of Ma Xiaofeng's vulgar behavior.

The emperor laughed out loud.

"Is he such a wonderful person?"

"Your Majesty, all the palace ladies who saw him said so, so it must be correct," Cao Bin said humorously. "I don't know what trick he will perform for Your Majesty. I will go check out his things later and let him try it out first. If there are no mistakes, I will let him perform a trick for Your Majesty. If he can make you laugh, it will be his merit."

The emperor was in a good mood today and waved goodbye to Cao Bin.

When Cao Bin met Ma Xiaofeng, he dismissed the others and spoke tactfully, trying to persuade Ma Xiaofeng to hand over half of the Shengshi Post Office's assets to the court.

Just when Ma Xiaofeng was worried that he might not listen, he heard the other party pat his chest and said, "Eunuch Cao, you are His Majesty's most favored eunuch, right? I have heard of you in the capital for a long time, and you are well-known. What you said must be His Majesty's intention, and I will definitely listen! I have bothered you to come and see me. This is a small gift, not a token of respect. Please accept it. When the post office's business is good in the future, I will give you more as a tribute!"

He took out a gold ingot from his pocket and put it into Cao Bin's hand.

This time it was Cao Bin's turn to be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

What a rude man!

Cao Bin simply told him: "Even if it is His Majesty's intention, when you see him later, you can't say that you are offering it on orders, but rather that you are offering it as a token of your own filial piety. Do you understand?"

"I understand! Thank you for the advice, Grandpa!"

He stuffed another gold ingot into Cao Bin's pocket.

Cao Bin saw him perform the magic trick again, and took the two gold ingots to show the emperor.

"Ma Yishi said he had learned his tricks from a juggler in order to enter the palace to see the emperor, and he hadn't mastered them yet. If he messed up the trick later, he asked me to say a few good words for him to prevent His Majesty from getting angry and beating him with a stick. This was his 'filial tribute' to me."

The emperor couldn't help laughing.

Such a vulgar person, I was worried that he would use the post office to cause trouble before, but now it seems...

As long as he doesn't rely on powerful nobles, there is nothing to worry about.

Tell Cao Bin: "Then keep it."

"The servant dare not."

"I order you to take it."

"...Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Cao Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that His Majesty's fear of Ma Yishi has been significantly reduced.

"Ma Xiaofeng entered the palace?"

Fei Wan asked while she was dressing up.

"Yes, Xiao Linzi just got the news from over there, saying that Mr. Ma made a lot of jokes over there."

Xiangyi also laughed a lot when she talked about those things.

She had met Ma Xiaofeng in person, but she never imagined that one day he would be able to pretend like this.

Fei Wan lowered her eyes.

Ma Xiaofeng had always disliked the nobility and even dared to curse the emperor in private. In their previous life, when they were at the border together, he not only cursed them in private, but also in public.

He mingles with the underworld, but deliberately avoids contact with those above him, simply because he is unwilling to bow to the powerful.

But now, for the sake of Shengshi Post Office, he came to the palace, pretending to be vulgar, being laughed at, and flattering the emperor. He did it all, and did it very well.

Then she can't slack off and must continue to work hard!

"This flower ornament is too bright. Let's change it to this one."

Fei Wan carefully selected on the dressing table and dressed up with the maids to make herself more beautiful.

Beauty is one of her weapons.

A very important weapon.

If she can perform a stunning dance at the banquet today and regain favor, her fame will only be greater than before.

For the emperor, what was lost and then found again is far more precious than what he had always possessed.

"Your Majesty, Ling Zhaoyi is here!"

Xiaohui went to the warehouse to get something and was very surprised to see Gu Shuer coming in from the courtyard gate.

Under the cloak, Gu Shuer was wearing clothes suitable for sword dancing, which made her waist look thinner, her legs longer, and she looked quite energetic.

His expression was serious, with a hint of embarrassment that he couldn't conceal.

Bow to Fei Wan as soon as you enter the door.

"I was impulsive last night. I've been thinking it over all night and now I'm going to trust you for once. I've already thrown away the grindstone and have been practicing hard for over a month. I don't want to back down at the last minute. I'm going to give it a try!"

Fei Wan looked at her bowing posture and smiled: "This is a very standard bow. It seems that you don't know how to do it, but you just don't want to do it. Have you really thought it through?"

"Ah."

"Well, I'll trust you for once. Once I'm done dressing up, we'll go together."

Gu Shu'er straightened up and then took a closer look at Fei Wan's face, which had not yet been fully made up.

The makeup is not done yet, but it is already stunningly gorgeous.

"You will definitely be able to regain favor," she said.

"What about you? Are you ready?" Fei Wan asked.

Gu Shuer blushed.

If I dance with Fei Wan today, it would be equivalent to bowing to the emperor.

Since she was forced to stay in the palace by the emperor, she has never slept with him again. She did not want to. If she bowed her head today, it would, to a certain extent, be her tacit consent to the future summons.

Fei Wan promised her half a year.

Only if she still wants to leave after half a year will Fei Wan help her leave the palace.

And within six months, she would have a green card like any other concubine...

"If you regain his favor, I will try my best to help you get closer to His Majesty. You charm him and don't let him provoke me all the time." She said to Fei Wan with a blushing face.

Fei Wan smiled.

After putting on makeup and wearing a face mask, she went to Fengming Palace with Gu Shuer to gather with the concubines.

"The Imperial Noble Consort and Consort Ling came together? I heard that Consort Ling has been visiting the Imperial Noble Consort lately. I still don't believe it. It turns out the two ladies really have such a good relationship."

As soon as I entered Fengming Palace, I saw a group of concubines crowded inside.

Someone laughed and joked.

Someone else chimed in, "The Imperial Noble Consort is kind to everyone. Even if Consort Ling looked down on us sisters, she would have to succumb to the Imperial Noble Consort's charm!"

A few more people joined in the joke.

Some people were not very standard when greeting Fei Wan.

After all, a concubine whose appearance is damaged and who has not served the emperor for a long time, no matter how respectable she is, is hollow inside.

As time goes on, it is possible that His Majesty will no longer send people to deliver things to the Imperial Concubine.

The relationships in the palace are very realistic.

Except for the concubines of Feiwan's faction who remained respectful to her as before, others had begun to waver.

Empress Yan scolded everyone, "The Imperial Concubine hasn't appeared in public for a long time. Have you all forgotten the rules? I've always taught you to be respectful and polite, but have you ignored me?"
