My eunuch An is a yandere

The queen went to the Shenlong Palace with the sweater she had just knitted.

Because duck down was rare, the empress ordered the clothing bureau to research the knitting method of the sweater and make it. At that time, the first duck down sweater ordered by the emperor was also completed.

Xiao Duo looked at the sweaters and down jackets placed on the imperial desk and compared them with each other.

"Although the sweaters made by Zitong are not as light as duck down sweaters, they are easier to make. I just don't know which one is more effective in keeping out the cold. Wang Xi, send the sweaters to the ice room and report back in an hour."

Wang Xi took the order and gave the instructions, and for the time being, only Xiao Duo and the queen were left in the imperial study.

Xiao Duo looked at his first wife and thought that she had passed away many years before him. They had no prince except a princess. It seemed unnecessary to dwell on the unpleasantness that had arisen in the previous life because of the queen's mother's family.

So it was rare for him to feel some warmth towards the queen.

"It's me who made Zi Tong suffer."

The emperor's words of concern made the unprepared empress's nose suddenly sore. For so many years, she and His Majesty had only exchanged pleasantries between the monarch and his subject. Now that she could hear His Majesty's concern for her again, the empress felt that all the grievances she had suffered over the years were worth it.

"I am not tired. It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries."

The atmosphere was just right. Xiao Duo stepped forward, put his arm around the Queen's shoulders, and sat on the couch, chatting about everyday life. The middle-aged couple felt a rare moment of warmth that only ordinary couples could experience.

An hour later, Wang Xi returned to the imperial study with the results.

"Your Majesty, the ice storage has yielded results. The sweaters are more effective at keeping out the cold than ordinary winter clothes, but not as good as duck down jackets."

"it is good!"

Xiao Duo was delighted. The Great Dian Dynasty was vast, with significant seasonal temperature variations. While sweaters weren't as good as duck down jackets, they were easier to make and had many uses.

"Zi Tong, your achievements are truly comparable to those of Lei Zu. You have rendered a great service to me."

Xiao Duo was overjoyed and praised the queen a lot.

The queen blushed and spoke modestly.

"How can I compare myself to Leizu? And this sweater isn't entirely my own achievement. Your Majesty asked me to find a way to make winter clothes, but I was incompetent. Thinking of the virtuous and kind-hearted Lady Bai, I asked her for advice, and that's how I came up with the idea of ​​knitting a sweater."

Although the Queen mentioned Bai Ningwei in her words, she claimed that the idea for the sweater was hers.

Xiao Duo, who had been in a good mood, felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on his heart. He had already guessed about 70% of what the Queen was going to say next.

"My Zi Tong is truly extraordinary. When the sweater was presented to me, he didn't mention anyone else. Only after the sweater was proven to be effective did he bring it up and claim credit for it."

They are all born actors. Although Xiao Duo felt a little cold in his heart, he still acted with deep emotion. The Queen did not notice and said with a smile.

"We are all sisters in the harem. I already have everything, so it is only natural that I should ask for some benefits for my sisters."

The queen will not miss anything that can indirectly highlight her virtues.

"Then how do you say we should reward you?"

"Bai Meiren is still too young, but she's good at eating and having fun. Why not get promoted to a higher rank? Her allowance will improve significantly."

Xiao Duo closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. Thinking that Bai Ningwei was indeed the type of person who didn't want to suffer any injustice in food, he became tempted.

But thinking about how Bai Ningwei could not only make duck down bags but also knit sweaters, he felt she was incredibly clever. The future crown prince might even be entrusted to her for upbringing. Putting her in a high position too early, Xiao Duo worried, would only inflate Bai Ningwei's appetite and change her character, which would be bad.

"Bai Mei has only been promoted to the rank for a short time, and further promotion would be unsatisfactory. However, Zi Tong is begging for mercy on her behalf, and I cannot refuse you. It would be better to grant her a title and let her enjoy the status of a Concubine."

"Your Majesty is wise. I, your concubine, am here to thank you for the reward on behalf of Lady Bai."

When the Empress heard that the Emperor would only grant her a title without raising her rank, she was completely content. She had originally sought mercy for Bai Ningwei only to win her over, to make her understand that following him would not be a loss, and she had no intention of the Emperor favoring her. The Emperor's arrangement was the one that best suited her.

So at noon the Queen went to visit the Emperor, and in the afternoon Bai Ningwei received the grace of being granted the title of Hui Meiren and moving to Lingqi Palace.

Since Xiao Duo didn't have all four concubines and nine concubines, there were many empty rooms in the harem. Although Bai Ningwei didn't rise to the rank of Concubine, she enjoyed the same privileges as a Concubine and had a title, making her the most prominent among the beauties.

After moving to Lingqi Palace, even though he still lived in a side hall, he was the only one in charge and lived a very free life.

For a time, the Lingqi Palace where Bai Ningwei was located became a good place for concubines of lower status to sit.

This left Bai Ningwei miserable. Although she still depended on the Empress, their relationship wasn't as natural as before. Whenever she paid her respects to the Empress, the conversation would turn to her latest creations. She couldn't find peace and quiet with the Empress, and her own palace couldn't afford to entertain so many beautiful women.

Soon, negative reviews of Bai Ningwei spread throughout the harem, saying that she was cold, arrogant, conceited, and ignored.

Bai Ningwei was troubled by this and simply closed the palace gates. Apart from paying her respects to the Queen every day, she stayed indoors and did not receive any guests.

Gradually, Bai Ningwei began to receive another evaluation as a strange person. But Bai Ningwei no longer worried about it and just let him be. Her life was more important, and she had to protect her palace.

Seeing the vast Lingqi Palace empty, Bai Ningwei ordered the chaise longue to be moved under the shade of a tree, where she nestled down to bask in the sun. This was something she had wanted to do for a long time, and only if she had exclusive control of the entire palace could she do so.

Covering her eyes with a round fan, Bai Ningwei enjoyed the sunbath, but her mind was thinking about the emperor.

Now that the matter of winter clothes has been settled, she can be sure that the emperor is not her fellow villager.

If she were a fellow villager, after seeing the duck down bag and sweater, the emperor would not only not make her one of the four concubines, but would at least come to meet her with tears in his eyes.

It was strange that the emperor did not summon him, a man who had made great contributions, but instead rewarded him.

The emperor seemed to be able to confirm that these things were made by him without even asking himself. He did not doubt his own ability at all.

Bai Ningwei was basking in the autumn sun, feeling so comfortable she was practically melting into a puddle. Suddenly, an idea struck her, stimulating her so much she sat up straight away.

If she can travel through time and be reborn, why can't the emperor be reborn?

If the emperor was reborn, then some things would make sense.

For example, Your Majesty is well aware of the fact that I love making things.

In her previous life, after becoming a concubine, she was young and it was no exaggeration to say that she was the most favored concubine in the harem. At that time, whether it was to offer advice or to consolidate her favor, she made many novel little gadgets for His Majesty.

Such as teacup drain rack, clothes hanger, clips, hooks and so on.

This is probably why His Majesty promoted her without even asking.

But His Majesty must have loved her very much in the previous life, so why didn’t he summon her after her rebirth?

Although she didn't plan to cling to the emperor's thighs in this life, if the person was willing to take her flying, she couldn't refuse, right? So what was the problem?

Bai Ningwei quickly recalled her previous life in her mind. Apart from the trivial things she had with Huo Cheng, there was nothing else.

Huo Cheng's appearance happened after the emperor's death, so Your Majesty would not know about it.

So this is the mind of an emperor. Even if you know that he is reborn, you can't guess why he didn't summon you.

Bai Ningwei was thinking about the lawsuit all the time, but couldn't figure it out. Feeling that she had acted properly, she relaxed and gradually fell asleep in a daze under the sunlight.
