"Does Your Excellency mean to use their jealousy?" Cai Xiang knew that Lady Fucha always had many ideas, but this time she was a little suspicious.
"What, you think it's not feasible?" Lady Fucha naturally sensed the doubt in Cai Xiang's words.
“This servant thinks that these newly arrived concubines are no match for Consort Xi. As the Noble Lady just said, they are of low status and their words carry little weight. The Emperor doesn’t even remember them. No matter how jealous they are, they can’t possibly set fire to Changchun Palace,” Caizhu said.
"They naturally can't touch Niohuru, but what about the Empress? The Emperor is only forty-five this year, in the prime of his life, yet he only has a few princes, you can count them on one hand. As the Empress, shouldn't she, the Minister of Rites, and those ministers, advise her?" Empress Fucha said. If even one or two of the three of them were "killed" by Niohuru, then Niohuru's reputation would be even worse. She would be a wicked concubine, a scourge to the country and the people, a scourge to the Qing Dynasty.
"Your Excellency, will this work?" Cai Xiang was still a little unsure. "Now the Emperor listens to Consort Xi's every word. If you offend her, I'm afraid Your Excellency will do something like last time."
"Hmph, it would have been better if you hadn't brought it up last time. Now that you have, I'm even angrier. Niohuru was so despicable, using such methods to frame me," said Fucha.
“But sir, we can’t fight a losing battle!” Cai Xiang said.
"Are you scared?" Fucha stared at Caixiang and said, "Don't forget what you did. Now look at the tea that the Imperial Household Department brought. It's all old tea that's practically inedible. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't even be able to eat a piece of meat."
Cai Xiang was speechless after hearing what Fucha said. Fucha meant that doing one evil deed is still doing it, and doing two evil deed is still doing it. It doesn't matter if you do something less.
"Have you thought it through?" Fucha asked. "If you succeed in the future, you can also have a grand wedding like them, and I will give you an even bigger dowry."
Cai Xiang blushed slightly and quickly said, "This servant dares not, please give your instructions, Your Excellency."
“Yes, let’s go back. I need to think about this carefully,” said Fucha. “The Niohuru clan is not like the Nian clan. We need to make a good plan.”
Meanwhile, Madam Sun, supporting Zhu'er's hand, returned to Chuxiu Palace.
Just then, Lady Shumulu and her maid Yinxiu were looking at something under a flowering tree.
"What are you looking at here?" Mrs. Sun walked over and asked, puzzled.
"Hello, Sister Sun." Shumulu greeted her quickly upon seeing that it was Sister Sun.
Sun had always looked down on Shumulu, and glanced at her, saying, "What were you looking at just now!"
“There were some ants here just now, which was quite strange. We just took a look. It just so happens that Sister Sun is back,” Shumulu said quickly.
“What’s so interesting about ants? They’ve never seen anything like this before,” Sun said, frowning in disgust.
After saying that, she took Zhu'er's hand and went back to her room.
Watching Sun's retreating figure, Yinxiu said indignantly, "Why does the young mistress always give in to her? The young mistress's status is the same as hers."
“How could they be the same? She comes from a noble family, while my father is just a minor official,” Shumulu said calmly.
“My lady, you are so beautiful, you will surely attract the Emperor’s attention. You will no longer need to be concerned about her appearance,” Yinxiu said.
“Now that we can’t even see the Emperor’s face, what favor can we expect?” said Shumulu.
