Fortunately, Aruhan only disgusted everyone with her clothes. She was busy finding an opportunity to meet and chat with Qiqige, and had no interest in seeing Qian Shengyan and the others.

Finally, Aruhan saw Qiqige walking outside by herself, and she quickly said goodbye to Geng Shi, saying that she was going to change her clothes.

Geng was a good drinker and was slightly tipsy at the moment. She was chatting and laughing happily with Guo. When she heard this, she just waved her hand and told her to do as she pleased.

Aruhan only took Lanyun with her, quietly slipped out of the banquet, and then quickened her pace to chase after Gegeqi for a while before finally stopping her.

"Oh, who's this? Isn't this the newly appointed Consort Ru?" Qiqige sneered when she saw her, and said sarcastically, "What's wrong, Consort Ru? What brings you to stop me?"

"Qiqige, I need your help." Aruhan said, swallowing her anger. "After all, we both share the surname Borjigit..."

"Oh, I wouldn't dare compare myself to Consort Ru." Qiqige snorted coldly, shaking off the hand that was grabbing her sleeve. "You tricked me into stealing the princess's things, and then you got promoted yourself, while I was pushed into the lake and fell ill for a month, and you didn't even send anyone to see me! When I married into Prince Guo's mansion, I asked someone to send you a message, but you didn't care! Now that you need my help, you remember me? Humph!"

“Qiqige, I was sick when you were sick. I was in bed the whole time when I was at the Old Summer Palace…”

"Wow, I've never even stayed in a place as nice as the Old Summer Palace!" Qiqige shouted unreasonably, pushing Aruhan away. "Get out of my way!"

"Qiqige!" Aruhan was furious with this idiot. She hurriedly caught up with her and entered the side hall. Qiqige shouted, "Are you out of your mind? Why did you follow me in! Didn't you see I needed to change my clothes?!"

Lan Yun quickly smiled at the little palace maid beside Qiqige, and slipped into the side hall. She then quietly closed the door, leaning her slender body against it, trying not to be noticed by her masters.

"Qiqige, you have to help me! Have you forgotten what Uncle said before we left?!" Aruhan hissed urgently, "We need to find a way to give birth to a child with both Qing and Mongolian blood, and then..."

"I know!" Gegeqi was annoyed. "I need to use the restroom. You wait for me outside."

Aruhan paused for a moment, but did not want to go out. She said, "I will wait for you behind the screen."

"Are you crazy?! If I can't get out, then get out!"

Hearing Qiqige's shout, Lan Yun was afraid that Aruhan was really going to go out. She had already quietly opened a crack in the door, thinking that if Aruhan came over, she would quickly slip out first.

Aruhan didn't go out. She went to the window, looked at the moon, and waited until Qiqige came out muttering to herself before saying, "Qiqige, I need your help. The Emperor isn't coming to see me at all..."

"Then I should drag the Emperor along and make him come see you?" Qiqige found it amusing. "That's ridiculous."

“Prince Guo is the new brother of the Prince. You should ask the Prince to mention me and Mongolia to the Emperor!” Aruhan said anxiously again. “Can’t you use your blockhead to think about this? Even if you give birth to a child, so what? How can a prince’s heir compare to the prince I gave birth to!”

"Heh, then why don't you give birth?" Gegeqi cursed again, "How absurd."

Aruhan closed her eyes, resisting the urge to slap this idiot. She said, "You need to think of a way for me. I need to be promoted to the rank of Consort first."

Qiqige was full of questions: "What can I do? If the Emperor listened to me, I would have married that little guard long ago."

"Then why don't you help me think of a way to become empress, and then I can help you do whatever you want, okay?" Qiqige said, then shook her head, "That's ridiculous."

As Qiqige spoke, she turned to leave, but Aruhan strode over and grabbed her arm angrily, saying, "Qiqige! You have to help me!"

"I'll help you..." Qiqige was also furious. She turned around and was about to yell at her when she saw Aruhan kneeling down in front of her.

Tears streamed down Aruhan's face, and her lips trembled uncontrollably: "Qiqige, please help me, please, help me..."

Qiqige pursed her lips, and after a moment said, "I know." Then she added angrily, "You cry so much, why don't you go and cry in front of the emperor? And your dance, dance for him!"

"I didn't have a chance..." Aruhan was heartbroken. "I only saw the Emperor on the first day, and I never saw him again after that, sob sob sob..."

Seeing Aruhan like this, Qiqige softened again. She helped her up and scolded her again: "Why do you have to go to the palace? You might as well marry a prince like me. At least you can travel around the capital."

“I dare not disobey my uncle’s arrangements.” Aruhan looked pitiful. “Since at least one of us has to go to the palace, I’ll take it. That way you’ll have more freedom.”

"Sigh." Qiqige sighed, unable to utter a single harsh word.

“I’ve been sick at Yuanmingyuan and can’t get out of bed, so I haven’t been able to visit you. Are you alright?” Aruhan asked again.

Qiqige sighed, "It's alright, Prince Guo is not bad, but you..." She paused, then sighed again, "How can I help you? Even if it's Prince Guo, he shouldn't interfere in the Emperor's harem affairs."

"Then please do it this way..." Aruhan leaned closer to Qiqige and whispered something.

Lan Yun couldn't hear clearly, but she didn't dare to get closer. She only vaguely heard a few words, and she didn't know what they meant, but she tried her best to remember the pronunciation.

Finally, Aruhan whispered, "It's really not easy for me to see you. Fortunately, the Emperor's birthday is coming soon. On that day, please bring the things to the palace for me..."

"You really want to do this?" Kiki asked in disbelief. "This is too risky, you..."

“My mind is made up.” Aruhan pursed her lips. “Qiqige, I have entered the palace, and there is no turning back.”

Qiqige looked at her pitifully and said, "Okay then, I... I'll help you."

After the two finished talking, they finally reached the door. After pushing the door open, Aruhan did not pay attention to her surroundings, while Lanyun took the opportunity to quietly follow her out of the door. She then nodded naturally to the palace maid following Qiqige.

The palace maid didn't seem to think anything of it, she just smiled at Lan Yun, and then followed her masters back to their seats one by one.

The next day, Qian Shengyan was invited to Jingyang Palace by Madam Geng, where she met Lan Yun, who had secretly run away under the pretext of bringing food.

"Well done." Qian Shengyan nodded in approval, and Qingxue beside her smiled and said, "Her Majesty has prepared a complete set of jewelry for you, but it's too conspicuous for you to wear it now. We'll give it to you when you leave the palace and return home in the future."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Imperial Noble Consort." Lan Yun bowed excitedly, full of enthusiasm. "This servant will continue to keep an eye on her!"

"Okay, you be careful too, take care of yourself. Is she still hitting people?" Qian Shengyan asked worriedly.
