Walking to the Yanxi Palace, I once again did not enter my west wing hall, but went to Xia Dongchun's east wing hall.

"Lingrong pays her respects to Lady Xia. Congratulations, Sister Xia, on your promotion to Lady Xia."

I saw Xia Dongchun sitting in front of the mirror with delicate makeup and a big smile on her face.

"Hey, isn't this Sister An? Please sit down."

Xia Dongchun greeted him with a hint of contempt in his tone, but still politely.

"Sister Xia's promotion to a noble is truly a cause for celebration."

Xia Dongchun heard this and a smug smile appeared on his lips:

"Humph, this is a real surprise. I thought I'd just be able to take down Yu Ying'er, but I didn't expect there would be two big gains.

One is that the bitch Hua Fei has finally been deprived of her power to assist in the management of the six palaces, which is really gratifying. The other is my position as a noble lady, haha, it seems that my luck is really good. "

"Sister is so lucky. I'm so envious."

Xia Dongchun was even more proud after hearing this. She waved her hand, asked the servants to retreat, then pulled me closer and whispered:

"Sister An, what do you think of my outfit today? This is the new silk gift from the Empress. Oh, and these are for you."

As she spoke, she pointed to a brocade box on the table.

In addition to the jade butterfly hairpin and pearl necklace she promised last time, there were also tourmaline double ring buckles, silver thread inlaid gemstone flower ornaments, amethyst and glass bracelets, and three pieces of cloth, each of which was extremely luxurious.

Especially this amethyst and glass bracelet, which combines deep amethyst with transparent glass, strung into a bracelet and worn on the wrist, it has a sense of mystery yet gentleness.

"Since I've been promoted to a noble, the difference in status between us is even greater, so naturally I have to reward you more."

I took these treasures with mixed feelings. Xia Dongchun's arrogance and complacency made me feel a little unhappy, but I still kept a smile on my face and said:

"Thank you for your generous gift, sister. I am truly grateful."

Xia Dongchun looked at me with a hint of contempt in his eyes, as if mocking my humility and obedience.

However, I didn't care about it. I just silently turned this humiliation and unwillingness into motivation to move forward in the future.

I returned to my west wing hall, and Baoque also brought some silver:

"My lady, we sold our embroidery to Huaxi Textile a few days ago. They offered a good price this time."

I looked and it was nine hundred taels.

As promised before, I took out one twentieth of the nine hundred taels - forty-five taels and divided it among them, and then gave them the three pieces of cloth that I had just obtained from Xia Dongchun, so that they could keep up the good work.

After the servants happily left, I took out the lovely white scroll and called out the oleander elf:

"I want to see the storeroom."

"Okay, An Lingrong. Now, because of the business with Huang Guiquan, the index rose by another 5%. And the incident with Xia Dongchun's 'white flower dan' made Xia Dongchun a noble, and the index rose by 10%

In addition, statistics on other income and expenditure are as follows:

Total warehouse:

Silver: 3215 taels, 500 wen

Item value: 3624.391 wen

Available personnel: 3 people

Party members: Huang Guiquan (20%), Xia Dongchun (25%).

"

I never imagined before that I have been in the palace for less than half a year and I am already in the position of a concubine, with as much as three thousand taels of silver and items. I have to thank the white handkerchief my mother gave me, which allowed me to own this lovely oleander elf.

Now that I have over 3,000 taels of silver, I can now ask questions with some peace of mind to help me with my next plan of receiving favor:

"Oleander Fairy, I want to know the whole story of the Emperor and Zhen Huan's encounter in 'Apricot Blossoms and Light Rain'."
