"Fine! Hmph, I'll be so envious of her then!"

Li Changzai was looking at Xue Li, and his mind was still chattering away.

Sherry was surprised to find that this Mr. Li was not bad.

She's more like a good person than she is!

After everyone had left, the Queen rewarded Sherry with a rare jade tree and a sandalwood screen.

She wasn't curious about the jade tree and snow pear; she'd seen plenty of treasures before.

The main feature is this rosewood screen, which is 2.2 meters long, 0.65 meters wide, and 1.95 meters high. The craftsmanship is exquisite, employing various carving techniques such as openwork carving, relief carving, and relief carving to decorate the screen in a complex and beautiful manner.

The patterns on the screen are smooth and vivid. Surprisingly, they are not embroidery or painting, but inlaid. The screen's frame, aprons, and water-repelling brackets are also finely decorated.

"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too precious?" Xue Li really liked it, and there was nothing bad about it.

"If you like it, it proves it has value! You have contributed to the Emperor's lineage and deserve a reward! Alright, you may leave!"

After the empress finished speaking, she covered her face with her handkerchief and left.

Sherry returned to the palace in a sedan chair, and the servants all flattered her with auspicious words.

Sherry bestows rewards with a wave of her hand!

Thinking of the embroidered screen in another room, Shirley smiled knowingly!

Therefore, it was not the Empress's doing.

That must be Consort Xi!

After all, she had her reasons.

Of course, thinking in reverse, perhaps Consort Yu is plotting something behind the scenes.

It's also possible that the empress is crying wolf!

However, she just couldn't believe it would be the empress. After all, once an empress lost her son, it wouldn't matter who became emperor.

Moreover, Empress Ulanara was also known for her virtue!

So, is this a subtle reminder?

After all, historically, none of these women who entered the palace gave birth in the three years that followed.

She got pregnant twice, but miscarried within two months!

Sherry was in high spirits. She wasn't a good person, but she didn't want to harm innocent people.

Unfortunately, Consort Xi ended up in her hands.

Sherry received another wave of rewards from the Emperor and congratulatory gifts from her "colleagues".

The servants outside are setting up the small kitchen.

Consort Li personally delivered congratulatory gifts with her servants.

Of course, her main purpose was to see Sherry's screen.

After all, everyone in the palace knew that the Empress had bestowed upon Xue Li a rare treasure that was hard to find anywhere else in the world.

Sherry looked completely bewildered! Was it really that serious?!

Whether it's true or not, I don't know. When Li talked about her bathing screen, she really looked disgusted.

"Her Majesty the Empress is so generous to you; this is a high-end luxury item!" Madam Li exclaimed, her eyes shining with amazement.

“What did you say? But I don’t like my screen either, it has a weird smell!” Sherry nodded readily.

"Beep, the poison of palace intrigue has been triggered!"

While Sherry was still in a daze, Li suddenly stood up.

Seeing that Sherry's expression had changed.

"Screen, host, go back to the palace to see your screen."

"What do you mean? She's fine, but I'm the one with the problem? I was terrified! I thought this poor bastard poisoned me!"

"..."

"Then why didn't you tell me before!"

"Because you have to trigger it, you never even thought of that!"

"So I'm still benefiting from this poor wretch's generosity?"

"uh-huh!"

"Well, sister has finished looking at it, it is indeed very beautiful. Sister has other matters to attend to in the palace, so I'll be leaving now!" Li said, and strode away.

Sherry was somewhat certain that these sisters were probably from a later era.

Even more ruthless than her!

But could she try using someone else to do her dirty work?

While Yongzheng was keeping her company, Lady Li began to inspect the filth in her palace.

Sherry wasn't very interested in Yongzheng, so she was usually quiet and reserved.

Because of the Samoyed's adorable appearance, Yongzheng was happy to sit with her for a while.

Moreover, upon seeing the outfit that Sherry had designed for the puppy, depicting it wielding a large sword, Yongzheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

They also took the manuscript and rewarded Sherry with a lot of fabric and toys.

Because of their shared interests, the two of them can sit quietly without feeling awkward!

The next day, while Emperor Yongzheng was having dinner with her, Lady Li began to try to get Consort An, Gu Chang, involved with them.

Another day passed, and while Emperor Yongzheng was reminiscing with the Empress about the past, Lady Li suffered a miscarriage due to crying and sobbing.

Emperor Yongzheng had just learned that he was pregnant again when he learned that the child had been lost, and his face turned pale with anger.

Upon hearing the news, Sherry was excited and wanted to go to Zhongcui Palace to see the excitement, but was sternly refused by Emperor Yongzheng.

"Be careful of the child. If you need anything, just tell Su Peisheng!" Yongzheng said gently, holding her hand, but his expression turned cold as he turned to leave.

Consort Li continued to live with Consort Yu in Jongsui Palace.

Shirley could only sit in the yard and spy on them.

That's why they have to be from a prominent family; Consort An actually knew all along.

After all, everyone was already mentally prepared for that!

Whose palace hasn't had some filth removed?

Just then, Li asked for cooperation, and she didn't want to fight alone, so she cooperated.

The matter was directed directly at Consort Xi!

First it was the screen in Li's room, then it was the tree in Consort An's courtyard...

In a fit of anger, Emperor Yongzheng ordered a thorough investigation throughout the palace!

Almost every concubine's palace was unclean.

Everyone sobbed and wept bitterly, and the Empress arrived upon hearing the news.

The moment he entered, he immediately apologized without saying a word.

Seeing the Empress's haggard and frail appearance, Yongzheng helped her up with a complicated expression.

"The Empress is virtuous; she must never belittle herself!"

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed! Please investigate thoroughly!" The Empress's expression was open and dignified.

Yongzheng patted the back of her hand without saying anything.

However, the evidence soon pointed to Consort Xi and Consort Yu.

Consort Xi looked humiliated, Consort Yu looked surprised, and the people around them were filled with sorrow. At this moment, an unknown storm was brewing in Yongzheng's eyes.

Yongzheng was not unaware of the loopholes in their words, but he thought of Hongli, so the scapegoat naturally became Consort Yu.

Seeing the disbelief and hidden hatred on Consort Yu's face, as well as Consort Xi's clenched fist and the barely perceptible relaxation, Shirley felt that these Noble Ladies were really interesting.

Indeed, in terms of family background, the Na and An families are not exactly the most outstanding.

It's also because Emperor Yongzheng wasn't enthusiastic about her, or rather, without his beloved Consort Nian, everyone else was just a pretty face in his eyes.

Most of the women chosen for the imperial concubine selection this time were Han Chinese!

If we follow Emperor Kangxi's usual practice, he would only value the children of noble ladies more.

The matter ended with Consort Yu being confined to her quarters.

Yes, Consort Li has been promoted to Noble Lady!

Sherry saw her grinning from ear to ear, hiding under the covers.

While Xue Li was pregnant, she saw Consort Li teaching others how to win favor.

Sherry thought she would use Yongzheng's pity to cause trouble.

As a result, she became like a friend of women, teaching one person how to do makeup and another how to dance...

Sherry also wanted to say, "Is she sick?"

She heard about her system during a greeting one day.
