After understanding that her father-in-law's purpose in coming was to make her give up the box, Youqing said, "It was just something I made in my spare time to pass the time. It's a wonder that it caught Aunt Su's eye. If it can make the Empress Dowager like it, then it will be a blessing for the box and for me. Father-in-law, you don't need to worry. I'll make another box when I have time. As long as it makes the Empress Dowager happy, that's all that matters."
The eunuch was delighted to hear this. He was completely relieved that Consort Shu was so easy to talk to. However, he still wanted to remember this favor: "This servant thanks Your Highness for your generosity. If Your Highness ever needs anything from the Imperial Household Department, just send someone to let me know."
After seeing off the eunuch from the Imperial Household Department, Youqing breathed a sigh of relief. The trunk was gone. It was her wool trunk, which, although small, was something she had woven herself bit by bit.
The wool yarn sent by the Imperial Household Department was a bit thick, and she spent a lot of time splitting the wool yarn before weaving it on one strand at a time. It was particularly hard on her eyes, but she felt a real sense of accomplishment when the pattern finally came together.

Cheng Ying, who was standing to the side, understood the situation better than Sang Zhu and said, "Actually, this is not a bad thing. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have been somewhat detached from worldly affairs in recent years. The concubines in the harem are all chosen according to His Majesty's preferences. However, because of the late Emperor, the palace is quite cautious about the matter of exclusive favor. His Majesty dotes on his master. Even if the Empress Dowager is no longer involved in worldly affairs, it would be a great thing to gain even a little bit of favor from the Empress Dowager."
Youqing understood Chengying's meaning. If she were ambitious, she would not have let go of such an opportunity, but she didn't have much ambition.
