The master was of aloof character and not good at pleasing others. When she suddenly fell out of favor, she actually confronted Concubine Hui directly. She thought that she could win Concubine Hui by relying on her status in the emperor's mind.
Who knew that Concubine Hui had a miscarriage, and the emperor was furious. Not only did he demote his mistress, but he also never set foot in Frost Moon Tower again.
The master is unable to humble herself to please the emperor, and can only watch the emperor drift further and further away from her. Although she has a peerless beauty, she can only wither away in the deep palace.
Since ancient times, emperors have been fickle. Danyue knew that her master was wrong. The emperor's heart had never lingered on anyone, and her master took the emperor too seriously, and also took herself too seriously. She trapped herself in the days when she was favored by the emperor, unable to get out, and did not want to get out.

Because it rained last night, it was a rare cool day. The dim morning light vaguely illuminated a hint of blue in the sky.
Bai Susu looked at the glazed tiles on the eaves in the distance. They were clean and crystal clear after being washed by the rain, and became even more dazzling when illuminated by the sunlight.
Today is the day to pay respects to the Changchun Palace. Bai Susu doesn't want to be too outstanding, and she wants to keep everything simple and error-free.
Therefore, she only wore a moon-white palace skirt embroidered with jasmine flowers, tied her hair into a bun with a tourmaline peach blossom jade hairpin, and wore a pair of white jade earrings on her ears, which made her look gentle and beautiful.
Nanchun was surprised by the cool weather today. They had left too early, and the breeze brought a chill. She regretted not bringing a cloak for Bai Susu and frowned, saying, "Master, why don't I go back and get you a cloak? You and Manxia go ahead. I'm a fast runner and will catch up soon."
Bai Susu glanced at Nanchun and said lazily, "Why bother? I'm not cold. Besides, it will be hot again when the sun comes out."
"Haha, I knew my sister was generous." The master and servant were startled and looked up. It turned out to be Lady An.
She brought her maid Hongying with her, and apparently also went to Changchun Palace to pay her respects.
It just happened to be stopped at the road that Bai Susu had to take to get to Changchun Palace, as if it was waiting for her.
Bai Susu smiled and said, "Morning, sister."
An Xi strode over and said, "I was waiting for you on purpose."
After spending several times together, Bai Susu and An Xi can be said to have hit it off quite well. In this quiet palace, it is rare to have friends who share the same interests and can talk to relieve boredom.
So Bai Susu cherishes the present time very much. As for how long this time can last, Bai Susu doesn’t think too much about it.
"The Pu'er tea my sister gave me is indeed richer than the one I usually drink. Adding milk and rock sugar, the milk tea made is really delicious." The two of them walked together, and An Meiren started talking first, talking about milk tea.
Lady An gave Bai Susu a box of pearls. In return, Bai Susu would give Lady An a portion of whatever the emperor gave her that she thought was useful.
At first, Lady An felt embarrassed and wanted to give Bai Susu another box of pearls to play with. However, Bai Susu directly refused, saying that the pearls from the last batch had not been used up yet, and asked Lady An not to be so polite to her.
Lady An knew that she had been enjoying great favor from the emperor recently and naturally had no shortage of good things, so she was not polite to her.
As they interacted with each other, the two of them became closer.
Bai Susu: "As long as you like it, sister. I recently developed a new pastry called cookies. They are crispy and sweet, perfect with milk tea. I will ask Manxia to send some to your palace later."
"Why bother my sister to deliver such delicious food? Just let Hongying run it."
Lady An is generous and frank. Between the lines of her writing, she doesn't seem like a concubine in the palace, but rather like a wandering wanderer.
This made everyone laugh. Although Nanchun felt sorry that the top-quality Pu'er tea awarded by the emperor was made into milk tea by his own master and Master An, he also approved of Master An and his master being on good terms.
It’s simple, Master An is just very popular.
Although he often came to Qixiang Palace to play with his master, he knew his limits and would leave early if he thought the emperor would not come.
She is a very sensible person, unlike Concubine Jiang who is shameless. When Concubine Jiang encountered the emperor at the gate of Qixiang Palace last time, she and Manxia were both worried.
It’s not that they are afraid that their master cannot compare to Jiang Cairen - their master is definitely the best. To put it bluntly, in their hearts, Jiang Cairen is not even worthy of carrying their master’s shoes.
But if Jiang Cairen really caught the emperor's eye, it would mean that her scheme had succeeded, and she had done so by using Bai Susu.
They are angry.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't like Concubine Jiang at all, and their master didn't care about this matter at all. She didn't react at all after hearing it. She just ate and drank as usual, obviously not taking Jiang Yuning seriously.
In fact, Bai Susu is not that arrogant and would not bother Jiang Yuning.
The truth is, she felt that her brain capacity was limited and there was no need to get angry over irrelevant people.
As for whether Jiang Yuning would catch the eye of Emperor Xuan Jing and whether Emperor Xuan Jing would favor Jiang Yuning.
She just wanted to say that, first of all, she couldn't control the emperor's preferences, and secondly, it was none of her business.
She just needs to improve her favorability and complete the task as soon as possible.

Bai Susu and Lady An chatted and laughed, and the journey didn't seem that long. When they arrived at Changchun Palace, the Queen hadn't come out yet.
There were a few concubines sitting sparsely in the hall. Bai Susu felt relieved, as she had arrived early today.
After paying her respects, Bai Susu saw a strange face. Lady An introduced her as Jing Zhaorong.
Bai Susu stepped forward to greet her. Jing Zhaorong had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and a kind expression. She smiled softly and said, "This must be Sister Bai. I was sick when I paid my respects last time, so I didn't get to see your new sister. Now that I see her today, she's really quite pretty."
There was a hint of paleness between her brows and she spoke softly. Bai Susu smiled lightly and exchanged a few words without saying much.
Then he found a place with An Meiren and waited quietly.
