Wei Zizhu looked along her eyes and was indeed Guiren Jiang. She was young and had a good color. She was wearing a green long skirt.

There are a few beads stuck between the temples, and the eyebrows are green and charming, and the national color is fragrant. Although they are not very outstanding in their dress, they can be seen at a glance.

Guiren Jiang gradually approached with a gentle step and leaned over to salute, "I wish you a blessing to the Empress, Princess, and Princess."

Queen Li raised her hand from a distance, "Today is the birthday of Zhangzhu. Not only does Concubine Jiang need to be very polite. I heard that Guiren Jiang had a close relationship with Zhuzhu as soon as he entered the palace. I don't know what kind of gift Jiang gave to Zhuzhu today, which also made the palace open my eyes."

Guiren Jiang was a little surprised and then lowered his head, "It made the Queen laugh. What I prepared were some gadgets that were not worth mentioning."

"Since the Empress asks, you will answer truthfully." Madam Li frowned and hummed unhappily, disdaining the charming appearance of Guiren Jiang, with sharp eyes. Wei Zizhu frowned and glanced at Madam Li, "Your master didn't even speak, what a servant is talking too much!"

After being criticized by Wei Zizhu for a moment, Madam Li's face turned red and she immediately looked at Empress Li. Empress Li frowned and glanced at Wei Zizhu, "It's just a joke. Since Guiren Jiang is unwilling to take it out, I will not force her. The eldest princess will calm down. Why bother with a servant, which will hurt her body if she is angry."

"Thank you, my sister-in-law, for your concern." Wei Zizhu responded with a smile.

Guiren Jiang quietly glanced at Qin Ran, Qin Ran blinked at her, Guiren Jiang immediately shrank his head and said nothing. After waiting for a while, Empress Li and Wei Zizhu both sat down, and Qin Ran found the opportunity to chat with Guiren Jiang.

"I wouldn't have come if I had known it. I almost disturbed your birthday party, which made me feel a little sad."

Qin Ran smiled, "Even if you don't have you, the ones that should have been formed have already formed, and you are just implicated by innocent people."

Upon hearing this, Guiren Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. She had not yet gained a foothold in the palace. In the blink of an eye, she offended the masters above. How can she live the future?

"Let's go, the gift I've given to you has been sent to the inner hall. I've embroidered it by myself. I hope you don't dislike it." Guiren Jiang smiled shyly, his eyes shining like stars, Qin Ran smiled, "I've been in the palace all year round. I have never seen any kind of rare treasures. I'm willing to despise it."

Guiren Jiang smiled brightly.

Qin Ran celebrated her birthday, Empress Dowager Duan Yong specially invited a opera troupe. The actress on the stage was singing the song. After a while, Wei Baixiao also came and gave Qin Ran a pair of mutton fat jade and jade, which had a very good water color, which was a tribute.

"Thank you uncle!"

Empress Dowager Duan Yong smiled, "Your uncle has no princess, and you are raised in the palace. Although you are not father and daughter, you are better than father and daughter."

Qin Ran grinned.

Wei Baixiao smiled and raised her hand, "A few days ago, a batch of beautiful beads were sent to her uterus. The material was good, and the palm beads, if you like it, choose two."

The eunuch held five or six pieces of material, the red color was as bright as the morning glow, the yellow color was enchanting, the green color was fresh and cute, the most dazzling one was the white color, emitting a faint fluorescent light, and the flowers embroidered with silver thread were blooming, dignified and elegant, and extremely beautiful.

Empress Dowager Duan Yong winked at Qin Ran, and Qin Ran stepped forward slowly, "Uncle, I have heard of Jiaozhushi. Today I saw it very beautiful. But Zhangzhushi is young and I am afraid I can't afford such beautiful materials. Today, Zhangzhushi borrows flowers to offer Buddha to the Queen. The Queen is elegant and luxurious, with a gorgeous appearance..."

"No need, you are still young, so leave such fresh colors for you to wear. I am old and not suitable for such colors."

Queen Li interrupted Qin Ran lightly. She was stubborn. In previous years, the materials of Jiaozhuya were sent directly to Fengqi Palace, and there was not a single one this year. Why should I compete with a little girl in full view?

Wei Baixiao glanced at Queen Li with a gentle smile, "It's the heart of the palm of the bead. I think that red and white..."

"Your Majesty, I have already got a red and white piece last year. I have been pressed in the warehouse and have not moved yet. It is really not easy to waste. At the age of the same flower of the palm bead, I asked the embroiderer in the palace to prepare carefully, cut it into clothes, and wear it on the palm bead, and it will not degenerate the reputation of the princess."

Empress Li held a cup of tea and took a sip, without squinting her eyes, straightened her back, loosened her lips, raised her chin and glanced at Guiren Jiang, "There are a few new nobles in the palace, all of which are delicate in color, and the ingredients are excellent."

The smile on Wei Baixiao's face gradually restrained and she stopped talking.

...

When Wei Zizhu heard this, she picked up a plum with her white fingertips and handed it into her mouth, and smiled, "The queen's jealous jar has been knocked over, and even the emperor doesn't give her face."

Qin Ran looked sideways at the head, then looked at Wei Zizhu again, "Auntie, will my uncle compromise like a few years ago?"

Wei Zizhu frowned, swallowed the back half of the plum in her mouth in tea, and shook her head, "Do you know that on the third day after the accident, the emperor summoned the queen. The two of them had a chat all night. The day before handing the Li family to the queen for treatment, the emperor also went to Fengqi Palace, but he stayed for an hour and came out. Then the order for the draft was delivered. What do you think is this?"

"It was the emperor's uncle who told the queen in advance that he had found out that the Li family had been protected. The empress protected the Li family, which made the emperor's uncle feel heartbroken."

Qin Ran shook her head, and if she was constantly interrupted, she would suffer the chaos. If the Li family made a mistake, they would just punish Mrs. Li and demote Mr. Li's official title. This matter could be explained. However, Empress Li believed that Mrs. Li said, insisting on believing that the Li family was not the mastermind, and then involved the Qin family and the Cheng family. A good relationship was destroyed by Empress Li.

People's hearts are full of flesh, but if it were anyone, they had knots in their hearts. Qin Ran could see that Wei Baixiao was accommodating to Queen Li everywhere.

"The Yongzhou City incident has been a knot in my heart until now. Some people are selfish and can't change in their lives." Wei Zizhu gently patted Qin Ran's head, "You have to remember, who is more important, if there is a gap, it will be difficult to eliminate. If the queen has half of your seventh aunt's intelligence, who will not respect her?"

Queen Li made no contribution back then. After enjoying a few years of blessing, her tail was raised to the sky, unable to see the reality clearly, and she was sad!

"I remember what the Fourth Auntie said. Fourth Auntie, will that uncle be favored by the show girl?"

Wei Zizhu held her chin with one hand, glanced at the delicate nobles, and then looked at the two people with obviously awkward atmosphere on the head. "It's hard to say this. As long as the Li family doesn't make any trouble, according to your uncle's temper, there will definitely be the queen in your heart. People's hearts are not made of stones, and there will always be someone who is warmed up."

Qin Ran smiled suddenly.

As soon as the song fell, Empress Li hurriedly left with excuses of discomfort. Madam Li sighed, "Empress,

Why are you stubborn? The emperor clearly intends to show your kindness to you. Isn’t you pushing the emperor further and further?"

Queen Li sneered, "I am the mother of a country and should be generous and virtuous. Besides, the emperor is indeed a little lonely and not even a princess. If a newcomer has entered the palace, he can make a sprout for the emperor. Who would not praise me for his virtuous and virtuous words?"

"But what if the prince is born?" Madam Li suddenly asked, "The Empress must prepare for the future. I can see that as long as the Empress lowers her head, the Emperor will definitely come to Fengqi Palace, and the Empress will have enough confidence in the future."

Queen Li stopped and looked back at Madam Li, "No need to mention this matter anymore, I have a sense of responsibility."

Madam Li sighed silently. Her master had just entered a dead end. On the way back, she happened to meet Madam Li. Madam Li's eyelids twitched, and she didn't know what Madam Li was going to do when she came into the palace.

"Why did the Empress return from Cining Palace?" Mrs. Li was holding a carefully prepared gift in her hand, and was going to celebrate Qin Ran's birthday.

"I felt a little uncomfortable, so I went back early. Mother didn't have to join in the fun, so I'll go back to Fengqi Palace."

Seeing that Empress Li had a bad expression, Mrs. Li did not dare to say much, and handed the gift to the palace maid to Cining Palace. When she returned to Fengqi Palace, she had just sat down. The anger accumulated in Queen Li's heart eased a little, and she took the tea and drank half a cup.

"What's wrong with Empress?"

Queen Li held the cup tightly with her fingertips, her fingertips turned white, and she shook her head, "It's just some trivial matters, not worth mentioning."

"Have the emperor stayed in Fengqi Palace recently?"

Queen Li said nothing.

Mrs. Li was as clear as a mirror, but then she probably disappeared. After hesitating for a moment, she asked again, "All the newcomers in the palace are not good at it. They are young, have good colors, and were born in a famous family. I heard that there are still a few who are the first-rank official families. Their position will definitely not be low in the future. You must be careful."

Madam Li couldn't help rolling her eyes. Old Madam Li really didn't open any pots to carry any pots. She knew that this was the most disgusting thing about Empress Li, but she mentioned it at this time. Didn't she deliberately make Empress Li feel uncomfortable?

"I understand."

The talent show is already an arrow and has to be fired. Even if Queen Li minds it, she is the mother of a country and cannot bear the reputation of jealousy. She still has the prince under her knees, so she has to consider the prince's future.

Old Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment and looked around. When Madam Li saw this, her eyelids suddenly jumped, and she had an unknown premonition.

Sure enough, Mrs. Li said, "There are many women of the Li family of age. There are two young girls who are from other families. They are also called cousin. I am worried that you can't handle it alone. Why don't you find two helpers by your side. Their aunts and body-selling contracts are in my place, and you can't get out of your palms. Just stay with you."

Queen Li's face changed slightly.

"Mu He, you are the only daughter of your mother. If it weren't for the helplessness, my mother wouldn't use this method to force you. When the newcomer enters the palace, he will only hear the newcomer laughing and not listen to the old people crying. If a person has no future, he will have immediate worries. The words of the ancestors always make sense."

Mrs. Li sighed, "Mother knows that you are unhappy. Instead of being led by someone, it is better to find a helper. Since ancient times, the harem struggles have been endless. If you don't have any means, how can you survive in the palace? If you have a second prince in the future, you will inevitably have a eldest prince..."

"Enough!" Empress Li could no longer listen. "I will never accept the girl from the Li family into the palace as a concubine, so my mother will lose her heart."

"Mu He!" Old Lady Li sighed helplessly, "Mother is also for your own good. If those illegitimate girls are annoying, they can be dismissed at any time. It will definitely not endanger your status. In the future, the few beautiful girls will be conferred as concubines, and the first one to deal with is you."

Queen Li looked at Mrs. Li with a gloomy face, which scared her so much that she swallowed the second half of the sentence back and did not dare to mention a single word.

"They are just concubines. I firmly sit in the central palace. If I can't even suppress several concubines, it's better to abdicate early and give in to the wise. The emperor has always been dissatisfied with the Li family. In order to protect the Li family and the emperor, I have a rift. If the Li family girl enters the palace, will my mother ask the emperor to despise the emperor and beg the emperor to favor the Li family girl?"

Mrs. Li was frightened by Queen Li's aura and opened her mouth to explain, "I...I don't mean that, I also wanted to help you with kindness."

"There is no need to worry about this matter. As long as the Li family keeps their duties and does not cause any trouble, I will worry less and live a few more years to protect the Li family. Otherwise, if any Japanese palace is unwell, the Li family will be left to fate if they live or die."

Queen Li's patience with the Li family had reached its limit. Old Mrs. Li's legs were weak and she knelt on the ground, "Mu He, I..."

"Madam Li, send the old lady back."

"Yes!" Madam Li stepped forward and supported Mrs. Li, "Old Madam, the Imperial Doctor said that in recent days, he has been depressed and has a bad body and cannot withstand anger. The old lady should be more considerate and considerate to the Empress."

Mrs. Li saw impatience and coldness in Queen Li's eyes. The Li family was able to get to this point because of Queen Li's care. I really couldn't imagine what the Li family would do if Queen Li fell.

"Madam Li, please advise the Empress to take care of herself. Don't be stingy about whatever tonic you should take. If you lack anything, just send someone to tell the Li family."

"I remember the old lady's words."

Old Lady Li left in a daze. Queen Li sat in a daze under the window, lowered her head to embroidery, and several needles were pricked on her fingertips, and blood beads were soaked in the embroidery bandage. A blooming peony flower had several needles and threads.

Madam Li turned around and returned, but she couldn't stand it anymore, "Empress, let it go."

Bang!

Empress Li pulled away the half-embellished embroidery, stepped on her feet hard, and gasped heavily, scared Madam Li immediately stepped forward to comfort her, "Empress, calm down, you must not fall down. This is just the beginning. His Highness the Crown Prince is still young, and is waiting for you to support him."

When Empress Li mentioned her son, she gradually subsided. She closed her eyes and said, "I have never given me some newcomers to the palace. I have never given me a reward. Going to the warehouse to pick up a few jewelry and materials to send, which is also my dedication."

"Although I have been enthroned, I haven't served the bed yet. The empress doesn't have to worry about it, let alone raise the identities of several people..."

"As I told you, I will also give you 36 beautiful ladies from Chuxiu Palace, each of whom has three beaded hairpins, two silk and one piece of mutton fat jade."

Madam Li was shocked. She didn't understand why Queen Li did this and did not dare to disobey, so she could only nod and respond.

"I'm going to make arrangements now."

......

A few days later, Qin Ran looked up at the raindrops outside the window falling downwards. As the rain grew heavier, it gathered into a line, one after another falling to the ground.

"I am puzzled. How could the Empress suddenly change her personality and personally enthroned several beautiful girls, one of whom also enthroned Zhaorong. Is it too proud to be a beautiful girl who has not served her bed?"

He Sui was puzzled, "I have never heard of what this Zhaorong has to do with the Empress."

Qin Ran curled her lips and smiled, "That Zhao Zhaorong was born in a famous family, with a noble status and talent, and her title will not be lower than that of a noble person in the future."

That day, she passed by the Imperial Garden and saw Zhao Zhaorong's flattery towards Empress Li. Although Empress Li disdained her, she also understood that it was not appropriate to offend newcomers. She could please the Zhao family by just moving her fingers. Why not do it?
