"I think Madam Su truly considers you a good sister. Don't let her down. In the harem, sisterly affection is the rarest thing. She is pregnant now. If you dare to have any thoughts about her, I will not let you off!" Lanqin stared at Xueying and said.
Xueying nodded in agreement, "I originally intended to get to know the Su family, but I didn't expect that we would get along so well. So I truly consider her a good sister."
After these incidents, Xueying felt that Su Shi was truly good to her. Placing people in her fold was partly for her own benefit, but also to gain insight into Su Shi's situation. She would never harm Su Shi under any circumstances.
"You know that's good. Don't do this kind of thing again!" Lanqin warned sternly. Xueying nodded repeatedly, saying that she would not do anything inconsistent with her status.
Xueying is now somewhat confused about Lanqin. Although she is protecting the Su family, she has not been punished after discovering what she did. Lanqin is sometimes cold and sometimes warm towards her, and Xueying doesn't know why.
"Xueying, as a concubine, you should know what you should and shouldn't do. Live a simple and peaceful life. What is yours will naturally be yours, and what is not yours will never become yours." Lanqin reminded Xueying not to do anything she shouldn't in order to get Hongli.
Xueying felt that Lanqin was like another version of herself deep inside. She had struggled for so long, but in the end it was all in vain. Hongli was still unable to see her as always.
The two chatted for a while longer, each lost in their own thoughts. Lanqin also felt tired, so she asked Xueying to leave first and returned to the main courtyard herself.
Lanqin usually takes a nap in the afternoon, so she didn't rush back to the palace and stayed in the main courtyard to rest. Fucha Mingyu had been waiting in the room for a long time. When she saw Lanqin return, she hurriedly went to help her.
Fucha Mingyu had an ice basin and a fan prepared, and Lanqin lay down on the couch to rest, while Fucha Mingyu fanned her. "Mingyu, you've had a long day, let the servants do these things!"
Lanqin felt sorry for Mingyu; she should be resting at this hour.
"Mother, it is only right for me, as your daughter-in-law, to do these things for you. Please rest assured and get some sleep."
Hearing Mingyu say this, Lanqin could no longer stop her and could only let her continue fanning.
"Mingyu, it must be really hard on you to handle all the affairs of this mansion by yourself." Thinking of the concubines and princesses in this mansion, and the fact that Hongli is always away, it must be quite tiring for her to manage all the affairs of the mansion by herself.
"Mother, you flatter me by saying that. It is my blessing to become Hongli's principal wife and help him in his family!" Mingyu was truly happy to receive Lanqin's praise.
As they chatted, Lanqin fell asleep. Seeing that Lanqin was asleep, Mingyu lay down and fell asleep on the edge of the bed. The temperature outside also dropped as time went by.
The ice in the ice basin slowly decreased. Lanqin shifted restlessly on the bed and opened her eyes to see Mingyu lying beside her. Looking at Mingyu's serene profile, she thought that Mingyu was an honest child. If she hadn't married Hongli, she could probably have lived a carefree life...
Was I being too demanding of her? As long as she didn't harm Hongli's child or Hongli himself, she would always be Hongli's primary wife.
