Ji Huan didn't like running around in the hot summer. Naturally, she could be at ease. The Natural Picture Book was quite spacious, and she lived there all by herself. She could read books, paint, and make some summer drinks. She was very comfortable.
After enjoying a carefree period of more than half a month, it was already the end of May.
On May 15th, while paying respects to the Empress, it was suddenly announced that the Emperor would be holding a birthday banquet for Consort Chun. The banquet was scheduled for May 21st, starting with a flower viewing banquet in the afternoon, followed by a theatrical performance, and then a fireworks banquet in the evening. They would eat first and then watch the fireworks.

He sensed something was wrong, and then he secretly looked through Consort Xian's pulse record and found that it had been changed. Physician Liang probably didn't know who had bribed him."
Physician Sun was someone Ji Huan had arranged before entering the palace, and Physician Liang was a physician frequently used by Consort Xian, so he should be a trusted physician as well.

There weren't many Manchu concubines in the harem. Consort Shu had her uses, and Consort Xian naturally had hers too.
She'll see when the time comes. If she can save her, she won't mind lending a hand. If she can't, she'll make sure Consort Xian knows who the victim is.
She was a Manchu bannerwoman, and as a Manchu bannerwoman's concubine, she naturally needed to unite all available forces to strengthen herself.
Consort Xian is destined to become Empress, and she is naturally a woman of great ability. Like Consort Shu, she has been seeking a child for many years.
