"My lady, look how beautifully that flower is blooming," said the maid Zhu'er to Madam Sun.

“Let’s go take a look,” said Madam Sun. She wore a light purple cheongsam, her hair styled in two buns, adorned with hair ornaments on either side. Although not particularly expensive, the craftsmanship was excellent. Madam Sun came from a family of salt officials and lived a comfortable life. Her family was wealthy, so all the clothes and jewelry she wore were the best among the ladies-in-waiting.

Fucha, supported by Caixiang, walked out from the other side and saw Sun, who also happened to see her.

Sun agreed, as she naturally had to pay her respects upon seeing such a distinguished person.

"This humble servant greets Noble Lady Fucha." Madam Sun quickly took Zhu'er's hand and walked towards Noble Lady Fucha, curtsying in greeting.

"You're very polite, Consort Sun. Sister Sun is so beautiful, even more beautiful than a flower!" Lady Fucha praised with a smile.

"You're so kind, Sister. Compared to you, I feel inferior." Madam Sun knew how to say such polite words.

“Listen to how sweet her little mouth is. If the Emperor saw her, he would surely be pleased,” Empress Fucha said meaningfully.

Sun blushed, but soon her face showed worry again. In fact, the three of them who entered the palace through this selection were still virgins, and the emperor had never been to the Chuxiu Palace.

Now, Lady Sun, Lady Shumulu, and Lady Fang have all been living in Chuxiu Palace for almost half a year. They have all been granted the title of Lady, but none of them have served the Emperor yet.

Previously, when Consort Nian passed away, the palace was in mourning, and it was only natural that they were placed in Chuxiu Palace. However, now that three or four months have passed since the funeral, the Emperor seems to have forgotten their existence.

Sun was also in a bad mood. She thought that she was beautiful and from a good family, so she should be favored by the emperor. But she did not expect to see this after entering the palace.

"Alas, it's such a pity that my sister has such a beautiful face. There's only one person in the palace who holds all the power, and even the Emperor can't see my sister's beauty." Fucha noticed the look of disappointment on Sun's face and said this deliberately.

Sure enough, the look of dejection on Madam Sun's face deepened. After the three of them entered the palace, they only learned that Lanqin was the only one favored by the Fourth Prince. However, Lanqin was a Noble Consort, while they were only concubines, so they naturally dared not complain. But being singled out like this, Madam Sun couldn't help but show a hint of resentment and jealousy on her face.

"Sister, why don't I accompany you to admire the flowers?" Madam Sun felt that Consort Fucha had spoken the truth for the three of them who had just entered the palace, and thus developed a slight liking for Consort Fucha.

“Alright, let’s go for a walk over there.” Fucha was secretly delighted and generously said to Sun.

The two chatted and laughed while admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden. With Lady Fucha intentionally flattering Lady Sun, Lady Sun's depressed mood improved considerably.

"Sister Fucha, you are so kind. If I need anything in the future, can I ask you for advice?" Madam Sun said warmly.

“Of course, I live in Zhongcui Palace, which is very close to your Chuxiu Palace. You can come anytime,” Fucha said “enthusiastically.”

After exchanging a few more private words, the two went their separate ways.

"My lord, why are you suddenly being so kind to this Lady Sun?" Cai Xiang asked, supporting Lady Fucha's hand.

"Of course it's useful. Niohuru clan has monopolized the Emperor's power. These younger sisters who have just entered the palace probably hate her to death, but they are too insignificant to speak out," Fucha clan sneered.
