Lanqin sat in the bumpy carriage, thinking about what she had said to Mingyu before she left: "You must be a good wife to Hongli. No one can take away your position as the First Consort, and no one can covet it. Do you understand?"
Lanqin knew that she had neglected Mingyu today, so she wanted to make up for it and gave her a set of jewelry, which immediately cheered her up.
Although I already know their future and Fucha Mingyu's fate, I should treat her better now. After all, she is Hongli's first wife, and Hongli's mind is entirely on her now.
Thinking of Ulanara Xueying, Lanqin felt that she was indeed quite capable. She secretly sent people to observe Su Shi's movements, and she tried to please her. She also acted smart and sensible in front of Hongli. These were all the qualities of someone in charge of the harem.
Although he didn't have a high opinion of Xueying, he had high expectations for her. If Hongli were to rule the world in the future, she would definitely be able to help him manage the harem.
Meanwhile, the weather was unpredictable, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, and Granny Liu, due to her advanced age, finally succumbed to illness. Madam Su told her not to come out to take care of her and to rest indoors. Granny Liu was also afraid of infecting Madam Su, who was pregnant, so she simply locked herself in her room to recuperate.
For the past few days, Gao has not left the house and has been busy making a small cotton quilt inside.
"Jinling, we've finally succeeded. Let's go, it's time to send this quilt out," said Madam Gao.
“Princess, the weather is about to turn cold, and Su’s child is about to be born. This is the perfect time to use it. Besides, how could Su not see your thoughtfulness?” Jinling felt a strange emotion when she saw how considerate her mistress was.
On this day, Madam Su was chatting with her maids in her room when she heard that Madam Gao had arrived. She hurriedly got up to greet her.
"Sister, I've come today to give you a gift!" Madam Gao said mysteriously.
Su was even more curious. She asked Gao to sit down and then asked, "What is it?"
Madam Gao smiled and said, "Sister, why don't you guess and see if we sisters are on the same wavelength!"
After thinking for a moment, Ms. Su decided to give herself a gift. Her baby was about to be born, so it had to be something related to the baby.
Su raised an eyebrow. "Could it be the clothes you made for my unborn child, sister?" Gao was surprised. How could she guess that? "No, sister, guess again. It's very close."
Su quickly begged for mercy, "Good sister, please let me go. How could I possibly guess that?" Seeing Su's pleading, Gao had a maid hand the bundle to Su.
Just as Madam Su was about to open the bundle, Madam Gao stopped her, saying, "Sister, you must tell me first, don't laugh at me." Madam Su nodded, opened the bundle, and inside was a small, adorable red quilt.
"Sister, I really like this gift!" Madam Su looked at Madam Gao with gratitude, never expecting Madam Gao to be so thoughtful, having actually made a quilt by hand.
"Is that really true? Although it's a bit rough, it's something I made myself, and it's all from my heart. I hope you like it, little sister," said Madam Gao.
Su and Gao knew each other when they entered the palace. Su knew that Gao was proficient in all kinds of arts, but she was very clumsy when it came to needlework. So Su was very grateful that Gao had put a lot of thought into making this quilt.
