Ye Ronghua, with her graceful figure and light steps, walked slowly and briskly on a path in the Imperial Garden with Yan Cairen.
At this time, the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom, and are extremely gorgeous. Many concubines have recently become fond of visiting here.
Perhaps deep down in my heart I still have the hope of meeting His Majesty by chance.
It has been half a month since this group of new brides entered the palace, and His Majesty has not favored them very many times.
So far, only three newcomers, Ye Ronghua, Lin Ronghua and Chu Meiren, have been fortunate enough to be summoned.
The newcomers have also figured out some tricks. Probably only those with more outstanding status will leave some impression on His Majesty.
However, both Ye Ronghua and Lin Ronghua were promoted to a higher rank for serving the emperor in bed, but there was no movement from Concubine Ye.
Because the string of Concubine Yan broke when she was playing the pipa in front of His Majesty and Concubine Chunshu half a month ago, she has been practicing hard in her Jinse Palace every day since then. The concubines in the same palace are a little annoyed by this.
That's why Concubine Yan is now trying so hard to curry favor with Ye Ronghua. After all, Ye Ronghua has a good family background and he was the second one to sleep with her after entering the palace.
After serving the emperor, she was promoted to Ronghua. It would be great if she could say a few good words in front of His Majesty and exempt His Majesty from punishment.
After all, it is extremely difficult for her to see His Majesty now, and His Majesty will not have any impression of her.
"Sister Ye, among the newcomers, only Sister Ye, Lin Ronghua, and Concubine Chu have been summoned by His Majesty. However, His Majesty has promoted you and Lin Ronghua, but Concubine Chu has not made any move. Could it be that His Majesty really does not like gorgeous women as Concubine Chun Shu said?"
Yan Cairen followed Ye Ronghua closely and spoke softly, with a hint of doubt and flattery on her face.
Ye Ronghua frowned slightly and felt strange in his heart.
Before she entered the palace, she had thought that with Lady Chu's beauty, she would definitely be favored.
But now, all three of them have served the emperor in bed, but Concubine Chu is the only one who has not been promoted. In fact, Concubine Chu's family background is higher than Lin Ronghua's.
Ye Ronghua knew that her advantage was not her beauty. Because of her family background, as long as she did not make any mistakes, His Majesty would favor her no matter what.
Now that His Majesty does not like Miss Chu's appearance, I have lost a strong competitor.
It was a pleasant surprise indeed.
"How can we guess at random what His Majesty likes? Lady Yan should be more careful with her words and actions."
Ye Ronghua had a calm expression and a calm tone.
"My sister just whispered a few words in front of Sister Ye."
"It's just... next time when His Majesty summons you, can you please plead for me? I've been playing the pipa so hard that my hands are almost broken..."
Yan Cairen looked at Ye Ronghua cautiously, twisting her handkerchief subconsciously with her hands.
A hint of disdain flashed across Ye Ronghua's eyes. Yan Cairen was a concubine's daughter, and she looked down on her. However, because of her status as a concubine's daughter, Yan Cairen did not threaten her.
Moreover, since she has entered the harem, it is impossible for her to fight alone. Since Concubine Yan intends to curry favor with her, she naturally has to do things for her.
"Sister, since His Majesty thinks that you haven't played the pipa well enough, you should practice hard."
When Yan Cairen heard Ye Ronghua's refusal, her heart sank. She knew that Ye Ronghua would not help her so easily.
"Sister Ye, if there is anything I can do for you, just tell me. I will go through fire and water for you."
Yan Cairen whispered anxiously, her eyes full of desire.
Ye Ronghua turned slightly, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and then he leaned close to Yan Cairen's ear.
"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held in five days. The Imperial Etiquette Bureau and the Imperial Clothing Bureau in the harem are now managed by the Imperial Concubine."
"Your Majesty, you go to Zhaochun Palace almost every day, and you go to Yikun Palace every now and then. If we newcomers want to gain favor, doesn't my sister know what we should do?"
Ye Ronghua's voice was very low, with a hint of bewitching.
Upon hearing this, Yan Cairen frowned, forced a smile on her face and looked at Ye Ronghua.
She naturally understood Ye Ronghua's intention. Ye Ronghua clearly wanted her to act as a knife to charge for him.
But the Imperial Concubine and the Pure Concubine are not only deeply favored by His Majesty, but also have the power to assist in managing the six palaces. What should she do to hurt the Imperial Concubine and the Pure Concubine and at the same time get away with it safely?
"Sister, could you please tell me what I should do?" There was some uneasiness in Yan Cairen's eyes.
"Talented Lady Yan, I heard that the design of Concubine Chun Shu's palace dress has been sent to the Shangfu Bureau. The pattern embroidered on Concubine Chun Shu's palace dress this time is amaryllis."
There was an elusive smile on Ye Ronghua's lips.
There was confusion in Concubine Yan's eyes. Amaryllis is precious, and if she had not entered the palace, she would never have seen it.
"Sister, you know that amaryllis is an extremely beautiful flower. It is quite innovative for Concubine Chun Shu to use amaryllis to make palace costumes, but you still don't understand what you mean..."
"Sister, the juice of Amaryllis is poisonous..."
Ye Ronghua chuckled and said this, then turned and left with a smile on his face, leaving Yan Cairen standing there blankly.
Yan Cairen looked at Ye Ronghua's gradually receding back and fell into deep thought.
Could it be that Ye Ronghua wanted her to tamper with Concubine Chun Shu's palace dress?
Let Concubine Chunshu make a fool of herself at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, and then put the blame on the Imperial Concubine?
A hint of hatred suddenly flashed in Yan Cairen's eyes. It was obvious that Ye Ronghua wanted her to be the one to take the lead.
If she really did these things, given His Majesty's favor for Concubine Chunshu and Concubine Gui, he would certainly investigate it thoroughly. How could she possibly hide away?
