Regardless of what others think, Zhang Cairen was in a terrible mood tonight.

When she returned to Linhua Palace and sat in front of the mirror to remove her makeup, she said bitterly, "The person His Majesty is looking at tonight is not me."

The palace maid Chun'e hurriedly comforted her, "Talented woman, don't let your imagination run wild. If His Majesty is not looking at you, is he looking at Lady Li? Look how shabby she is dressed."

"That's her."

Zhang Cairen gritted her teeth, "She dressed like that on purpose. Everyone is dressed up tonight, but she is plain and simple. Wouldn't she be conspicuous?"

Chun'e suddenly realized, "In that case, Lady Li is too cunning." Zhang

Cairen snorted coldly, "She said she wouldn't go in the afternoon, but when she went, she deliberately dressed like that. Need I say more about her scheming!"

Chun'e hurriedly said, "As the saying goes, a biting dog doesn't bark. People like this who usually keep silent are the powerful ones!"

What a dog that doesn't bark!

Thinking of the scene at the banquet, Zhang Cairen became more and more angry.

Now, she made such a big joke and was almost charged with disrespect, but His Majesty didn't even look at her, and all his attention was on Li Yanshu.

Li Yanshu!

A woman from a remote countryside actually has such great ability!

But Chun'e said worriedly, "In this case, wouldn't Lady Li be the first to be favored?"

Zhang Cairen was shocked.

With Li Yanshu's looks, if she is favored, will others have a good life?

No way!

She thought for a while and said, "Go get a bag of silver and go to the laundry."

She called Chun'e to come closer and whispered the rest of the words, so no one could hear it.

~~

Yan Shu had a delicious meal in Rouyi Palace, and her body was warm. She didn't feel cold when she returned to Yongning Palace. She washed up and went to sleep in the quilt.

In her dream, she dreamed of the New Year's Eve dinner, spicy hot pot, crispy roast pork, cream lobster, flame grilled fish, all of which were what she wanted to eat but couldn't eat in her previous life.

She drooled all night, and the next morning, when she was half asleep, she heard a system ding.

[There was a new development in the melon yesterday. Xiayi Hou heard that Linwu Hou and his wife had a quarrel, and planned to rekindle their old dream with Linwu Hou's wife. ]

Hmm?

Yan Shu immediately became alert, [So the prince is Xiayi Hou's? ]

System, [No. ]

Yan Shu widened her eyes, [Isn't it? Madam Linwuhou is really an amazing person!】

System,【Don't worry about others, today is your melon.】

Yan Shu,【My melon? What melon? 】

Without waiting for the system to speak, Honeysuckle entered the room holding clothes and said outside the tent, "Master, are you awake? I have just ironed your clothes. Put them on while they are hot.

It is cold in winter, and it is difficult to get out of the quilt in the morning, and it is even more difficult to put on cold clothes. Therefore, in order to make her more comfortable, Honeysuckle would iron her clothes in advance every day.

Yan Shu hummed and sat up. While taking the clothes, she asked the system, [What's wrong with me?]

System, [Someone wants to hurt you.]

What?

As soon as she finished speaking, the clothes came into her hands. She sneezed and was stunned.

Someone wants to hurt her?

The next moment, she sneezed again.

This scared Honeysuckle, "Master, did you catch a cold? You must not have covered yourself with enough quilts last night. I should have added another one for you..."

"I'm afraid you caught a cold,"

Yan Shu rubbed her nose and threw away the clothes in her hand, "Maybe the clothes were stained with something."

Rendong was stunned, "Could it be peach blossom powder?"

Yan Shu is allergic to peach blossoms. Once in contact with them, it will trigger various reactions, from sneezing and nasal congestion to rashes all over the body, and even difficulty breathing. It can be said to be quite serious.

Judging from her symptoms just now, it does seem like an old illness has come back.

Thinking of this, Rendong hurriedly threw the clothes away, but was puzzled and said, "But it's winter now, and the peach blossoms haven't bloomed yet."

Yan Shu thought for a while, "I wonder if those in the greenhouse of Siyuanchu have bloomed?"

Rendong suddenly realized, "Yes, there are all kinds of flowers in the greenhouse of Siyuanchu! "

But why did the peach blossom powder appear on the freshly washed clothes?

Honeysuckle sighed, "You usually don't even go out, and you just eat all day long, how come you attract people's attention?"

Yan Shu, "...You said that as if I were a glutton."

Honeysuckle, "...That's about right, cough cough..."

Seeing Yan Shu glaring at her, she quickly changed the subject, "Who hates you so much that they can come up with such a bad idea!"

Yan Shu thought for a while, "Except for Zhang Cairen, probably no one in this palace knows me." Honeysuckle thought

carefully, "Every spring when the peach blossoms bloom, you don't go out, and it's not difficult to find out why the peach blossom powder is dissatisfied. In this case, is it really Zhang Cairen who did it? But why did she want to harm you?"

Yan Shu was a little confused, "Did I eat too much last night and made her not full? "

Lindong,"..."

What kind of weird motive is this? Do you think everyone is like you?

"Maybe she made a scene at the banquet last night and wanted to take it out on you!"Lindong said angrily, "No matter what, we can't let you suffer in vain. Let's go to the Queen Mother to complain!"

Yan Shu suddenly sobered up and said, "Let's not talk about whether I can see the Queen Mother. At present, we are just speculating. There is no actual evidence to prove that it is her. She can completely deny it. How can I ask the Queen Mother to believe it?"

Lindong paused and said unwillingly, "Are you going to suffer in vain? She is a talented person. She can commit crimes and harm people wantonly because her family is rich and well-connected! Is there any law in this palace! "

Alas, it's a pity for her beautiful, good-tempered and never-competitive master. Just because her parents' home is far away, her father is a more honest official, and her family is poorer, she has to be bullied in the palace.

The world is really unfair!

Who would have thought that her never-competitive master would suddenly laugh evilly and say, "Who said we have to suffer losses for nothing?"

Honeysuckle was stunned, "Then what else can we do?"

"Come," Yan Shu waved her hand to signal her to lean over, "Why are you doing this..."

...

~~

At noon, Zhang Cairen was drinking tea leisurely, but saw Chun'e hurriedly walked into the palace.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Chun'e said, "Talented, Yongning Palace has just invited a doctor, and he is boiling medicine now. There is a smell of medicine in the yard." "Invited a doctor

?"

Zhang Cairen raised his eyebrows, "It looks quite serious. I wonder if she has rashes all over her face and body?" Let's

see how she can be favored!

Chun'e said hurriedly, "I haven't asked about this, why don't you go and take a look?"

Zhang Cairen waved her hands in satisfaction, "Forget it, you won't see that ugly face if you go, how can she face people?"

Chun'e nodded in agreement, "I heard from Rendong that this disease will not be easily cured in ten days or half a month, and she can't play tricks next time!"

That's what I want, Zhang Cairen nodded with satisfaction.

But then Chun'e said, "By the way, I just heard a new thing."

"What's it?"

"I heard that something happened in Aunt Lipin's house!" Chun'e said.

"The mansion of Lipin's aunt?" Zhang Cairen listened impatiently, "Why are you talking so confusingly, who is it?"

"It's the mansion of Marquis Linwu!"

Chun'e said, "Lipin's aunt is the wife of Marquis Linwu, so isn't the mansion of Marquis Linwu her aunt's home?"

Zhang Cairen thought about it and then asked, "What happened?"

Chun'e hurriedly came closer, "I heard that Marquis Linwu brought a concubine in a few days ago, and the wife was so angry that she made a big fuss. As a result, the servants in the mansion testified that the wife of Marquis Linwu had an affair with others for a long time, and had many lovers!"

"How could such a thing happen?"

Zhang Cairen's eyes widened.

Chun'e nodded vigorously, "Many people in the palace are talking about it. Do you think that this scandal has been spread to the palace, how can it be false?"

"That's true!"

Zhang Cairen snorted and laughed, "It's what she deserves!"

If Lipin hadn't deliberately provoked trouble last night, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

Humph, everyone in the capital doesn't know that Lipin's family has only the name of Yongliang Earl's Mansion, but actually has no strength. The whole family relies on the marriage of her aunt. If this marriage breaks up now, Lipin will be in trouble!

Thinking of this, Zhang Cairen instructed again, "Keep asking, and tell me any news at any time."

"Yes." Chun'e nodded hurriedly.

~~

At this time in Yimei Palace, Lipin was sitting restlessly.

Seeing the young eunuch Zhang Bao approaching hurriedly, she asked hurriedly, "Have you found out? Where did the news come from?"

Zhang Bao said, "I found out that this was first said by a palace maid from the Linhua Palace who went to the Siyuan Office."

Linhua Palace?

The maid Luxiu said, "Isn't that where Concubine Zhang lives?"

"That's right," Zhang Bao nodded, "I heard that Concubine Zhang's family is from the Beijing Textile Bureau, and they have connections everywhere in the palace, so they have many acquaintances."

"What a bitch!"

Lipin gritted her teeth, "I just told the truth yesterday, and she actually dared to take revenge. Ha, she fabricated a story about my aunt and tarnished the innocence of my Yongliang Earl's Mansion?"

Luxiu and Zhang Bao quickly echoed, "Your Majesty, this is a big deal, and it must not be taken lightly!"

A little talent dared to offend the concubine who was several levels higher than her. This is simply too audacious!

Lipin sneered, "Okay, doesn't she love to talk and sing? Let her know how powerful I am!"

~~

For things like allergies, as long as the source of the allergy is thrown away, everything will return to normal in a while. So Yan Shu pretended to be sick, but actually she still stayed in the palace and enjoyed everything.

But it was different for Zhang Cairen.

First, she suddenly had vomiting, diarrhea and high fever in the middle of the night. After taking bitter medicine for two days, she recovered, but her voice became hoarse and rough. When she opened her mouth, she sounded like a big man with a beard, which was quite scary.

In terms of appearance, she was not outstanding in the harem. The only thing she could rely on was her voice. Now her voice was ruined, and she hated it so much. She

gritted her teeth and spent a lot of money, and finally found some clues. It turned out that she was drugged by someone, and the other party wanted her voice.

She was so angry that she wanted to complain to the empress dowager. However, there were countless people in the palace who resented her for the limelight she had brought to the New Year's Eve banquet, so they would not let her have her wish...

~~

When Ren Dong came to report, Yan Shu was sitting on the kang, writing with a pen.

After Ren Dong finished speaking, she sighed maturely, "The first bird to come out gets shot, but it's better to keep a low profile to save your life!"

Ren Dong nodded vigorously, "Who told her to be evil and hurt people first? She deserves it!"

Then she asked curiously, "Master, what are you writing?"

Yan Shu said, "I have nothing to do, so I'll try to write a storybook."

She had eaten so many melons, all of which were eye-catching and bizarre, and she had nowhere to talk about them. It would be better to process them and write them into a storybook. Maybe one day she could publish them on the market and make a fortune.

Just as he was about to pick up the pen, he saw the little palace maid Lian Xin come in to report, "Master, the Queen Mother has sent an order to summon you to Ci'an Palace to talk."

The author has something to say:

Emperor: Why don't you ask me to come out?

Author: I can't speak, so I'll ban you for one chapter.

Emperor: How brave!

Author: ??? Want to ban you for another chapter?

Emperor: ...Mom.
