A side hall of Longyu Palace.

"My beloved, why are you here at this time?" After Yan Mingting finished his business, he came to see Wushuang. As soon as he came, he held her hand and asked her with concern.

"Your Majesty~" Wushuang said coquettishly, holding his arm. "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty is planning to hold a celebration banquet to celebrate General Huo's victorious return?"

"Yes, I plan to tell you about this matter later when I go to your palace to have dinner with you." Yan Mingting said.

"Your Majesty, I, a noble concubine, would also attend such a banquet, right?" Wushuang rested her chin on his arm, looking at him eagerly and said, "Your Majesty, can I attend?"

"Of course, if you, the noble concubine, don't participate, who else can participate?" Yan Mingting said.

"Your Majesty is the best... I love you so much~" Wushuang said all the disgusting words without changing her expression.

"I'm just asking you to attend a banquet that you could have attended anyway, and you're so excited?" Yan Mingting tapped her nose.

"Your Majesty..." Wushuang hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "Since I am also going to the banquet, shouldn't I dress up?"

"I am His Majesty's favorite concubine. If I were to dress plainly, wouldn't that be embarrassing for His Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Mingting looked at her amusedly and said, "So this is your purpose? You came to me just to ask for silk and satin to make new clothes?"

"But my dear, the banquet will be held in three days. Is three days enough time for you to make new clothes?"

"Why not?" Wushuang said confidently, "There are so many embroiderers in the palace. If they work hard, they will definitely be able to finish my clothes within three days."

"Your Majesty, please agree to my request..." Wushuang pestered Yan Mingting.

Of course, Yan Mingting would not treat Wushuang harshly in these matters and would not make her unhappy, so in the end Wushuang happily took the silk and satin given by Yan Mingting back to her Fengyi Palace.

In addition to the tribute fabrics, Wushuang also got a lot of good jewelry and a lot of top-quality materials.

Wushuang had people make clothes and jewelry for her, but she piled up most of the things in her own warehouse, planning to find time to put them into her companion space.

…

Qihuang Palace.

"He Wushuang received another pair of rewards from His Majesty?" Zhao Xuanyi slammed the cup in her hand onto the table, making a loud noise.

"That shameless woman doesn't think she's overstepping the bounds by doing this!" Zhao Xuanyi said unhappily.

Zhao Xuanyi has disliked He Wushuang since she entered the palace.

Although Zhao Xuanyi is the queen, she has remained firmly in the throne all these years. It's not because she is so magnanimous, but because Yan Mingting needs her as the queen to occupy this position.

Her family background is not prominent, and as she is the queen, her family background cannot cause any big waves.

If Zhao Xuanyi were deposed and forced by court officials to marry a new queen from a prominent family, that family might really create some obstacles for him as the emperor.

Zhao Xuanyi didn't know what Yan Mingting was thinking, but she felt that Yan Mingting had deep feelings for her and he definitely loved her.

Later, when He Wushuang entered the palace, she was neglected.

This made Zhao Xuanyi dissatisfied.

He Wushuang is just a concubine. Why should she suppress her as the queen?

Even though she later found out that Yan Mingting was not sincere towards He Wushuang or the He family, she had been wronged because of He Wushuang, so of course she disliked Wushuang.

Now that she knew Wushuang had gone to Yan Mingting again and received a large amount of rewards, her heart felt as if it was being fried in oil.

“Your Majesty, Eunuch Shen beside His Majesty is here.”

When Zhao Xuanyi was angry, a palace maid came in and said.

"Eunuch Shen?" Zhao Xuanyi was a little surprised when she heard that.

This Eunuch Shen is the chief eunuch in the palace. He is the confidant of Emperor Yan Mingting and the chief eunuch in the harem. He has great power.

Although Zhao Xuanyi was the queen, she was still very polite when facing Eunuch Shen and did not dare to boss her around.

Otherwise, if Eunuch Shen said something bad about her in front of Yan Mingting, her relationship with the emperor would be in trouble.

"Please come in, Eunuch Shen." Zhao Xuanyi tidied herself up and asked someone to quickly invite Eunuch Shen in.

When the chief eunuch came in, he saluted Zhao Xuanyi respectfully, without any sign of being arrogant towards the empress just because he was the emperor's confidant.

"Your servant greets Her Majesty the Queen." The chief eunuch saluted very politely.

Zhao Xuanyi quickly waved her hand, "Eunuch Shen, please don't be polite."

"Eunuch Shen, are you here?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at him and asked, "Your Majesty, will you come to this palace for dinner today?"

"Your Majesty, His Majesty sent me here to bring you clothes and jewelry for the banquet in three days." The chief eunuch stated the purpose of his visit.

Zhao Xuanyi was a little surprised, but she still smiled and said, "Your Majesty is busy with all sorts of affairs, why would you care about such a small matter?"

"Your Majesty is so considerate." Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.

"His Majesty said that we will stay in Fengyi Palace tonight." The chief eunuch said quickly.

Zhao Xuanyi tried hard to suppress her "What?!" and said with a stiff face, "Your Majesty is going to Fengyi Palace? Also, the Imperial Concubine has already gone to Longyu Palace..."

That shameless He Wushuang actually went to Longyu Palace to intercept people!

If today was the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, she could use this as an excuse to teach Wushuang a lesson.

But unfortunately, today is the eighteenth day, which is not the day the emperor must accompany the queen.

Zhao Xuanyi said with a stiff face, "The Imperial Concubine is the same. Your Majesty is so busy, but she doesn't understand His Majesty and flirts with His Majesty all day long... This is really... not dignified at all."

The chief eunuch lowered his head, and couldn't help twitching his lips after hearing what Zhao Xuanyi said.

The Queen said this...

A royal concubine is just a royal concubine, not a queen, so why does she need to be dignified?

No matter what, the imperial concubine is just a concubine.

Why should a concubine be dignified and steady?

Qualities such as being virtuous and dignified are basically what people require of a wife, not a concubine.

"Empress, the things His Majesty ordered have been delivered. I will take my leave first." The chief eunuch saluted Zhao Xuanyi again.

"Okay, Eunuch Shen, take care." Although Zhao Xuanyi was full of resentment towards Wushuang, she would not vent her anger on the eunuch in charge.

This is also the reason why the chief eunuch has a good attitude towards Zhao Xuanyi.

Zhao Xuanyi is a person who knows her limits.

But the one from Fengyi Palace...

When the chief eunuch left Qihuang Palace, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Fengyi Palace, recalling the scene when the imperial concubine had offended him.

The chief eunuch curled his lips and revealed a very cold smile.

He remembered clearly that the imperial concubine had been very rude to him at first. She relied on the emperor's favor to boss him around and even called him a "eunuch."

Now His Majesty still needs the He family and has not planned to do anything to the imperial concubine. The chief eunuch will not do anything to Wushuang.

But if she ever becomes weak, the chief eunuch will return the humiliation she once suffered from the imperial concubine.

Concubine He, I hope you can hold on a little longer.
