"If you don't know how, I can teach you."

I ignored the slight reluctance on everyone's faces and just carried out my plan.

Let them join me in embroidering and exchanging silver!

I remember that although Baojuan and Baoque were not the best at embroidery, they had mastered some basic techniques.

So I asked Baojuan and Baoque to teach Yan Xiaobao the most basic embroidery skills, and took out my orange linen clothes as practice fabric.

I found an excuse to go out, taking the mutton monthly ticket with me and not letting them follow me.

I walked to the door and vaguely heard their conversation:

"The young lady I followed this time was very strange. On the first day, she asked a eunuch like me to learn embroidery. This is the first time I've seen this."

"Yes, and they even use this old linen clothes. It's really shabby. How are we going to live in the future..."

"Shh...be quiet...it's not good if people hear you talking about me behind my back..."

I didn't care about anything else and walked towards the Imperial Household Department alone.

Today is the first day that the newly-promoted beauties from the Han Army Banner enter the palace. The Imperial Household Department is taking care of everything, so naturally they are extra busy.

And I planned to take this opportunity to meet Huang Guiquan.

Everyone was immersed in their own busy work and had no time to pay attention to anything else. I took the opportunity to quietly walk into the Imperial Household Department. As my eyes moved around, I saw Huang Guiquan's figure and walked straight towards him.

But Huang Guiquan didn't recognize me:

"Who is this... the new young lady? Forgive my poor eyesight..."

Today is my first time entering the palace. Those eunuchs who are used to currying favor with the powerful and bullying the weak and fearing the strong have not yet figured out my life experience and background, so they have not shown too much contempt and neglect to me. Instead, they have shown some rare respect to me.

After saying that, Huang Guiquan bowed to me.

I politely asked Huang Guiquan to stand up:

"I am An, the concubine of the Yanxi Palace. I have heard that Huang Zongguan is a distant relative of Concubine Hua, so why are you so polite? I came to see Huang Zongguan today to ask for something that will benefit both you and me."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Huang Guiquan looked at me mysteriously, completely confused. He followed me to a deserted place and listened to my story:

"Today I received a monthly mutton ticket from the Imperial Household Department. I've always eaten little, so I wanted to exchange it with Steward Huang for some silver. Firstly, it can help me with my living expenses, and secondly... Empress Hua has always been extravagant, so Steward Huang can use some of it."

Huang Guiquan was somewhat surprised that I could see through the unknown secrets of the Imperial Household Department when I first entered the palace.

However, he was, after all, an experienced man who had been working in the palace for many years, and he had done a lot of private transactions.

After some bargaining, we finally reached a consensus on a half-price deal, and agreed that we could visit each other often in the future and share what we have.

Although it is only half the price, it is a very satisfactory result for me.

Let this night be regarded as the beginning of my life in the palace.

It seemed as if I had gained a little more confidence and peace of mind, and I was able to fall into a sound sleep, no longer tossing and turning in bed and feeling uneasy as when I first entered the palace in my previous life.

At dawn the next day, I was awakened by the palace maids coming and going in the Yanx Palace.

Some of these eunuchs came from the Queen's Jingren Palace, and some came from Concubine Hua's Yiku Palace.

The Queen and Concubine Hua have always been in competition with each other, so she has to be the first to win over the new lady.

Although Baojuan looked a little unhappy, I was used to it. Because I knew that these eunuchs lined up one after another and passed by my door to deliver these treasures to Xia Dongchun and Noble Lady Fucha.

They have family background, so they are naturally valued.

Because of my humble family background, I could only watch helplessly.
