I have brought many gifts to thank you, Your Majesty. You must accept them."
After Cui Nianmi left.
Hua Xia and Mei Xiang said angrily:
"She is jealous of you, Her Majesty, that's why she said such disrespectful words. If this gets to the ears of the Emperor, she will be dead!"
A cool autumn rain is falling outside the window.
A rain of autumn and escape began to fall in Sheng Xiyan's heart.
There is sorrow in the world that cannot be shed in tears, and can only be quietly deposited in the heart.
"My lady, the clothing department has sent over new dresses."
The lady came in holding a red lacquer tray.
Hua Xia brought it to Sheng Xiyan, she flipped through it and said:

Wang Shuyi was so angry that her teeth itched.
"Concubine Chen, I have a sworn feud with her. I must find an opportunity to take revenge."
Cui Nianmi sighed:
"In fact, the emperor's favorite is the Concubine Chen. I am just luckier. The Concubine Chen is lucky. Not only the emperor loves her."
