However, before Mingxiu could recover, another major incident occurred in the palace. It was said that when Kangxi was resting in Consort Xi's palace, Consort Xi was feeling unwell, so she sent a palace maid to receive his favor. This palace maid was very beautiful.

When Mingxiu heard this news, especially when she heard the place where the palace maid had been, she immediately knew who this person was. Wasn't this Wei Shi, the woman who gave birth to the Eighth Prince?

Mingxiu had a headache. Since she came here, the history she had intentionally or unintentionally altered was almost in chaos. The sixth prince, Yinzuo, was not born, Wuya was not successfully promoted to the rank of concubine, and even the Imperial Noble Consort gave birth a few years earlier.

Unexpectedly, the Wei family member emerged smoothly.

When Mingxiu went to pay her respects again, she took a peek at Wei Shi from afar. She was indeed very beautiful. Her beauty was like that of a celestial being, aloof and with a touch of detachment. She was truly beautiful, no wonder she was chosen by Consort Xi.

But I don't know what Consort Xi was thinking, putting forward someone to help her secure the emperor's favor so early on?

Mingxiu felt a headache coming on.

When paying her respects, Mingxiu glanced at the Imperial Noble Consort's face. Although she had applied a thick layer of powder to her face, it was still noticeable upon closer inspection that she did not look very energetic.

It seems the little princess isn't feeling well. Mingxiu was preoccupied and didn't pay attention to their subtle banter during their greetings; they were all targeting Wei Shi.

Mingxiu looked up at Wei Shi, who just sat there quietly without saying a word, letting them mock her.

Mingxiu looked at her and felt that something was off. This Wei woman gave her the feeling of a green tea bitch.

It seems like I care a lot, but we have to act like we don't, so that I don't feel the same way as you guys.

I touched my chest for no reason, and I don't know if it was because I was feeling uncomfortable that I was thinking like that.

But looking at Wei Shi made her unhappy, so she naturally didn't want to get to know her better, nor would she speak up for her.

Mingxiu simply watched quietly, and returned to her Yonghe Palace after the greetings were over.

Sure enough, in the days that followed, Lady Wei was at the height of her power. Emperor Kangxi would frequently summon her to his bedchamber or to serve him with his writing materials.

More and more rumors are circulating in the palace. When Mingxiu was favored before, it was because of her high rank and because, although she was also a palace maid, she was a member of Empress Hesheli's family.

Moreover, he began taking care of His Highness the Crown Prince as soon as he entered the palace.

This Wei family member, who appeared out of nowhere, has suddenly gained the emperor's favor.

I don't know what Consort Xi is thinking. She's clearly from the Hesheli family, so how can she be so brainless?

For a time, everyone in the palace hated Consort Xi and Lady Wei. Every time they saw the two of them, they would find fault with them and criticize them relentlessly.

Mingxiu felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't realize it herself; she had just been feeling down lately.

Mingxiu never liked getting bogged down in these internal conflicts, so she quickly shifted her focus to something new and adjusted her mood.

Consort Xi of the Wei clan had brought her to visit Mingxiu at Yonghe Palace, but Mingxiu, upon hearing the news, immediately had them dismissed.
