Chapter 30 The Future Can Be Changed

Caiyue raised her eyes and took a look: "It's Luju!"

She was amazed and said, "I have never seen green chrysanthemums in my life."

"The servants in the flower room said that it was Concubine Hua who ordered it to be delivered." Cai Xing said.

Shen Meizhuang touched the half-opened green chrysanthemum and murmured to herself: "Such a precious thing, if the queen says to appreciate it, then I will appreciate it..."

Caiyue seemed to understand what the young lady meant by "good people" and "bad people".

After returning to the hall and closing the door, the master and his servants talked in a whisper.

Caiyue opened the brocade box and said to Caixing, "This was also given by Concubine Hua."

"As expected of Concubine Hua, it is luxurious. If it is not a reward, we cannot use it based on our status."

Concubines of different ranks had their diet, clothing, and makeup regulated; even the patterns on the dragon ornaments they wore on a daily basis were particular.

Without the favor of the superior, a lady of low rank would never be able to go beyond her level.

Cai Yue reminded quietly: "My lady, it seems that Concubine Hua is trying to win you over. Everyone knows that the two palaces are in opposition. Your lady... have you thought it through?"

Concubine Hua was not only trying to please the emperor, she also secretly hoped that she could learn and help with the affairs of the six palaces.

I had just entered the palace, and Concubine Hua was willing to trust me so much.

It can be seen that she is just arrogant and domineering on the surface.

The Empress is kind and modest. If she knew what kind of person Concubine Hua is, she probably wouldn't be her enemy, right?

Shen Meizhuang knew that she had just entered the palace and shouldn't take sides too early.

She looked through the window at the chrysanthemums at the door. The red, yellow, green and purple flowers were in full bloom. Finally, her eyes fell on the half-opened green chrysanthemum.

"The green chrysanthemum is precious, so I ordered people to move it into the house to avoid being exposed to the sun."

That was all Empress Hua's intention.

After all, she was a new beauty, and the novelty had not yet worn off, but the emperor was still thinking about her in his heart, so after leaving court and finishing his government affairs, he came to the Xianfu Palace.

He did not see Concubine Jing and went straight to Changxi Hall.

Thinking about what Concubine Hua said, that in her previous life she had rewarded her with green chrysanthemum and allowed her to learn about the affairs of the six palaces.

Shen Meizhuang's family background and personality made him able to afford it, so he waved his hand and accepted them one by one.

But in order to show the difference from his previous life, he glanced at the plaque of Chang Xitang.

"Chang Xi Tang, sounds like the name of an old scholar. Since you like chrysanthemums, how about changing the name to Cun Ju Tang?"

Small changes accumulated over time can also change big things.

The emperor has always been confident.

Shen Meizhuang stared at the three words "Chang Xitang": Concubine Hua was right again.

Moreover, as for learning to assist in the management of the six palaces, Her Majesty really gave it to me as soon as she said it would.

The emperor likes this young and naive girl very much, with a simple mind. Since God has allowed him to hear Concubine Hua's thoughts, it is probably to help him get rid of the shame of being cuckolded.

He held Shen Meizhuang's hand and said softly:

"What? Are you so happy that you don't know how to thank me?"

Shen Meizhuang's eyes were filled with tears, and she squatted down immediately, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace."

I will definitely go to Yikun Palace again when I come back. Thank you, Empress Hua.

Losing the first place of favor was not a big blow to Sun Miaoqing, but she didn't expect that she would not even be ranked second or third.

"No wonder the concubine wanted to drug him! He is as stupid as a pig! Damn it!"

Sun Miaoqing was scolding the emperor when people from the Jingshifang arrived.

"Congratulations, my lady. The emperor picked your name tonight. Please be ready to receive the carriage."

"I?"

Thought that old thing was dead?

I didn't expect he was still alive!

Only now do I know how to turn over my own brand!

Although she cursed in her heart, Sun Miaoqing didn't dare to say anything nonsense.

"I thought the emperor had forgotten me. It must be because of the eunuch's words that I was able to sleep with him. Lu Zhu——"

Sun Miaoqing signaled Luzhu to give the reward money.

"My lady, you are too polite. The rules of the palace are to first present the Manchus and Mongolians, then the Han people."

Xu Jinliang secretly felt the weight of the money bag: As expected of the Sun family, the Jiangnan weaving family, they are generous when they spend.

For the sake of money, he didn't hesitate to say one more word, "In fact, on the first day of your new emperor's favor, the emperor intended to turn over your green card."

really!

I didn't miscalculate at all.

Sun Miao's fighting spirit was rekindled, and he asked impatiently, "Then why did you do that later..."

It was just a small amount of money, there was no need for Xu Jinliang to offend the Empress. He laughed and pretended not to hear anything.

"Don't worry, young lady. This is your first time sleeping with a man. Madam Liu, the bedchamber attendant, will teach you the rules."

Aunt Liu stepped forward and saluted.

Sun Miaoqing also stuffed a bag of silver into Aunt Liu's pocket and begged her to allow her to put on makeup.

Things in the harem are too uncontrollable, she needs to take control of it all herself.

Sun Miaoqing pulled out the bottom drawer of her dressing table and took out a small box of lip balm.

She had not wanted to use it so early, but her appearance was not stunning and her family was not in the capital. From what Xu Jinliang had said, there was someone in the palace who wanted to take advantage of her.

The only one she can rely on now is the emperor.

But the emperor came to the harem seldom, and she didn't know when he would favor her again.

So she had to keep the emperor, and it would be best if she could give birth to a child as soon as possible to consolidate her position.

However, the emperor was approaching old age and was always unable to do things as he wished. She did not have Shenbao to regulate the emperor's body, so she could only use An Xiaoniao's method borrowed in advance.

Sun Miaoqing carefully traced her lips in front of a bronze mirror.

The concubines were not allowed to stay overnight in the Yangxin Palace. The people from the Jingshifang reminded her three times outside the palace, and the emperor had to stop because of the rules.

Xu Jinliang said to Su Peisheng at the door: "The sun is out so late at night. It's strange today."

He was saying that emperors were rarely so unrestrained.

Su Peisheng said, "If God wants the sun to rise in the east and the rain to fall in the west, who can control it?"

If you want to live longer, don't meddle in the emperor's affairs.

After that, the emperor turned over Sun Miaoqing's name card several times in a row. After all, Sun Miaoqing was new to the palace, and she was afraid of being discovered if she went too far, so she only applied a thin layer of lip balm the second time.

Shen Meizhuang often came to Yikun Palace to learn how to manage the affairs of the six palaces.

Since she didn't go against Nian Shilan, Nian Shilan naturally wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for her.

It was a sunny autumn afternoon, and the two of them were sitting under the window, one copying the accounts and the other looking at the account book.

"Your Majesty, the records from the Jingshifang have been delivered."

Songzhi knew that the queen was most concerned about this in the past.

Nian Shilan doesn't care much about this now, but as she holds the power to assist in managing the six palaces and receives an extra salary for doing so, she has no choice but to do this.

It is also for the emperor to see.

She put down the account book and opened the record file. "The emperor has been in a good mood this month and has been coming to the harem frequently."

[Except before the palace selection, the emperor was slightly mentally disturbed and came to the Yikun Palace many times in a row. Normally, he was busy with government affairs and came to the harem only six or seven times a month. This month, he came ten times.]

Eight new people, four of whom were concubines.

"Noble Lady Fucha did it twice, Concubine Sun did it four times, and you..." Nian Shilan raised her eyes and looked at Shen Meizhuang, "but only once?"

This is very different from the previous life.
