Chapter 33 The Queen Sends Medicine
"Sister An."
"Greetings to Gong Changzai."
Living in the same palace, Fu Cha Guiren was a bit arrogant, but Gong Changzai treated her very politely and often gave her gifts. An Lingrong was very grateful to her.
But before Concubine Hua expressed her feelings, she had no intention of looking for sisters or joining a team.
An Lingrong showed no emotion and bowed respectfully to Sun Miaoqing.
"Why do we need such a big ceremony, sisters?"
Sun Miaoqing reached out and helped An Lingrong up, "Sister, are you going back to the palace?"
"Me? I'm going to Suiyuxuan to see Sister Zhen."
What a silly Lingrong.
You treat Zhen Huan like a sister, with all your heart, but she has a deep sisterly relationship with Mei Zhuang, which ultimately separates her from you.
They really don't deserve your early sincerity.
"I don't have anything else to do anyway, let's go together."
On the way, Sun Miaoqing took An Lingrong's arm affectionately and said, "Sister, don't worry about the sleeping arrangements. You and I are sisters, and I will always find a way to speak well of you in front of the Emperor."
"elder sister……"
At this time, An Lingrong was timid and self-deprecating, and could be easily moved by the slightest kindness from others.
"It's just that it's almost the end of the year, and the emperor is very busy. It will probably take until after the New Year. I hope my sister will be patient and wait for a while."
Sun Miaoqing knew what her current status was. Her favor had not yet been secured. How could she possibly influence the emperor's choice of candidates?
But she knew that after Bulbasaur appeared, An Lingrong would be picked.
When the time is right, I can guide her to avoid returning the jade intact to Zhao. How can that not be considered as helping her?
"Thank you, sister."
There was a hint of gratitude in An Lingrong's eyes when she looked at Sun Miaoqing.

The end of the year is approaching and there are many things to do in the palace. Nian Shilan is ordered to be in charge of this year's New Year's Eve palace banquet.
The empress often called her to Jingren Palace in the name of consultation.
"...Other things are fine. I'm tired of looking at plum blossoms every day in winter, so I won't put them up on New Year's Eve."
Rouze loves red plum blossoms the most. If the emperor sees them, he will probably be moved by the scene, so the empress will have to remind her a thing or two.
[Red plum? That's a good thing.]
[In his previous life, the emperor drank two extra cups of yellow soup on New Year's Eve, and the sight of the objects reminded him of the past, so he went to Yimei Garden.]
[It just so happened that Zhen Huan, that bitch, did not follow the palace rules and went to the Plum Garden to pray alone, reciting some sad poems, and even got her shoes and socks wet, playing hard to get and seducing the old man.]
[I made mistakes in my previous life because I didn't understand the situation. Will I make mistakes again in this life? 】
[Even if I don't fight for this favor, I will never let that bitch Zhen Huan get her wish. This New Year's Eve, not to mention red plum blossoms, even paper-cuts and clothes are not allowed to have plum blossoms.]
【By the way, what happened to this old lady, the Queen? 】
[Has he found his conscience or has he changed his character? ]
[In the previous life, she didn't remind me when I needed her to, and in this life, I don't need her to talk nonsense. She keeps chattering. There is really no one in the entire harem who is better at doing favors than her. ]
Nian Shilan rolled her eyes at her and said, "I understand. I will give the order myself."
The queen silently persuaded herself: It's okay, it's okay, she will still listen to me anyway, as long as the result is right.
"There is one more thing..."
[The dog emperor is right, the queen is indeed old and has become very talkative! ]
Don't get angry, your body is your own, and there is no harm in getting angry.
The Queen sighed silently, and inwardly cursed the "dog emperor": He dared to say that I am old and gossipy behind my back, but he doesn't even look at his own character?!
"Zhen Changzai has been ill since she entered the palace. Gong Changzai and An promised to visit her often. You are helping to manage the six palaces, so it is proper to send someone to ask about it."
The Queen doesn't care whether Concubine Hua cares about Zhen Huan, she doesn't even want Concubine Hua to care about Zhen Huan.
He was just telling Concubine Hua that Sun Miaoqing had been going to Suiyuxuan frequently recently.
One is the final winner in the previous life, and the other is the reborn person who controls the future in this life.
If these two people reach a cooperation, it will not be a good thing for the Queen and Concubine Hua.
They must take precautions in advance.
Especially Huang Guiquan's side.
Previously, the Queen asked Jianqiu to send people to keep an eye on the Imperial Household Department. Deputy Chief Steward Jiang Zhongmin said that he did not find that Sun Miaoqing had any special contact with anyone from the Imperial Household Department, but it was Liang Duorui who was on duty every time he went to the Yanxi Palace.
Liang Duorui, Director of Guangchusi.
The Queen was sure that this was the future Director of the Imperial Household Department whom Sun Miaoqing wanted to train.
In other words, Liang Duorui was most likely the last Chief of the Imperial Household Department in his previous life, so he was favored by Sun Miaoqing in this life.
Now the Empress has regarded Hua Fei as one of her own party. In this way, Hua Fei's people are her people. Huang Guiquan is now the Director of the Imperial Household Department. He has always flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak.
For the sake of the overall situation, there is no need to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of a small matter.
Nian Shilan was not stupid either. She just thought to herself, "I'm watching her? I'm watching her until she's alive!" and she reacted immediately.
And it wasn't just Huang Guiquan's matter that she reacted to.
[I have to tell that idiot Lipin not to take Kang Luhai away. A traitor like Kang Luhai should stay in Suiyuxuan to annoy Zhen Huan.]
"If the Queen has nothing else to do..."
"No hurry - Jianqiu."
Jianqiu bowed and went out personally. A moment later Huichun and Xiuxia each came with a tray, on which were placed a bowl with a lid and two longevity porcelain bowls, respectively.
In front of Nian Shilan, Jianqiu opened the lid of the bowl with double fish ears and poured soup into two bowls.
Queen: "It's winter now, it's time to take supplements."
Nian Shilan heard the Queen's words and looked over in confusion, "What is the Queen doing?"
"The snacks at Jingren Palace are not as good as those at Yikun Palace, but the soup is pretty good. This season is perfect for recuperating. Let me try it, sister."
The queen raised her hand, Jianqiu took the tray from Huichun's hand and squatted in front of Nian Shilan.
"Please taste it, Madam Hua."
"Both bowls... for me?"
As soon as the lid was opened, a strong smell of medicine could be smelled, and Nian Shilan found it hard not to doubt her intentions.
[If someone is diligent and attentive without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief! ]
[What? You're not pretending anymore, you're not showing off anymore, you want to poison me to death right now? ]
[But she doesn't look stupid. How could she be so foolish as to brazenly attack me when the Nian family is at its peak?]
Nian Shilan really couldn't figure out the Queen's intentions.
The Queen did not say it clearly, "Sister, pick one bowl first."
The soup is right in front of her, and Nian Shilan has no choice but to take it.
The bowl of safflower soup that Qi Yuebin had given her back then came to her mind. No matter what, she would not drink soup given by others.
Even if I don't have a child now.
【Bring it over and pretend to spill it because you burned your hands.】
