The four daughters-in-law worked hard all morning and cleaned the originally spotless and colorful Changning Palace, which was originally spotless and colorful.

At noon, Concubine Zhou and his four daughters-in-law were waiting for the emperor and the eldest prince. The fourth prince came to have the first reunion and festive meal in the twelfth lunar month. When the emperor came, he came every day. But the eldest prince and the fourth prince seemed to have agreed, and they both returned to the yamen to work hard, so they would not go to the palace to have dinner at noon.

Concubine Zhou was very disappointed. After lunch, she leaned on the kang in a slouch, and she didn't like it anywhere. "Who looked at those bottles of flowers?" Concubine Zhou asked at the corner of the hall. The eldest prince's concubine Huo gritted her teeth and replied with a smile: "Those bottles of flowers were just taken in yesterday afternoon and bloomed all night. Today is the best time, and my wife was thinking..."

"Didn't I tell you that it will be the New Year from today. All these flowers and grasses have to be replaced. Not only are they good-looking or not, but they are also auspicious or unlucky!" Zhou Guifei was angry and didn't make a fuss. No wonder she felt unhappy on the first day of the Spring Festival. "Go and change it quickly! She is so weak in doing things, and I dare to be lazy as I am. Then what about you in the mansion? You are so unhappy to your elder brother?"

The eldest prince's concubine Huo's face turned pale, "It was because her wife was negligent, so she's going to change her wife now."

"You go and take a few more steps and choose the best one. Zhao, go too, help her watch, it's true!" Concubine Zhou looked at Huo with disgust. Zhao quickly bent her knees and agreed, gloatingly slanted Huo.

The fourth prince's concubine Zheng, who stood on the other side, glanced at the outer hall that she could not see from time to time. She watched the outer hall clean, and the flower arrangements were not changed...

Zheng was thinking about how to speak, not only to prevent Concubine Zhou from realizing her negligence, but also to find an excuse to go out and change the flower. Because she was pregnant, the fourth prince concubine Sun, who was not sent by Concubine Zhou, spoke in front of her, "Empress, I don't know if the flowers in the outer hall have been replaced. My wife will go and have a look."

"You should rest with your body, don't you change the flowers in the outer hall?" Concubine Zhou glared at the fourth prince's concubine Zheng in anger. Zheng's body shortened and hurriedly refused: "If it was changed, I'm afraid I won't change it all, so my wife will go and take a look."

Concubine Zhou said "yes" and responded. Zheng hurriedly stepped back to the outer hall. There was no need to give any instructions to change it. He asked someone to follow him with a vase and quickly went to the back garden to fold flowers and arrange flowers in person.

As soon as Zheng left, Concubine Zhou was only three or four months pregnant, but she tried her best to push her belly out of the tall ones. Sun began to feel upset and chatted with Concubine Zhou... She never met anyone to have a good time! She had to find an excuse to go out quickly.

"Empress, I don't know if all the potted flowers outside have been replaced. Otherwise, my wife will go out and see them one by one? Fighting off the old and welcoming the new, flowers, grass, and other things, they must be replaced." Zheng finally thought of an excuse.

Concubine Zhou looked at her belly, and Zheng hurriedly stated, "It's okay, it's almost four months old, and she has already settled down. The imperial physician said that she should walk around more every day, be good to the child and be smooth when giving birth."

"Well, go, take a closer look. It's cold today, don't go to the yard. Just under the corridor, let them take the flowers in the yard to show you." Concubine Zhou was still very concerned about the pregnant Zheng, to be precise, the child in Zheng's belly.

The flowers and plants inside and outside the hall of Concubine Zhou were just replaced yesterday. Since the fourth prince’s concubine Zheng went out to see it, he naturally had to see it. He clicked out a pot of pots and ordered them to be moved out to change it. The flowers arranged in the hall were picked up and folded by the eldest prince and the fourth prince’s concubine. Zheng did not hesitate about the pots of the outside hall. He took the maid out of Changning Palace and personally picked up pots of flowers to the flower room.

The eldest prince's concubine Huo is not a local. Among the four wives, except for the fourth prince's concubine Sun, the other three are not locals. When choosing a daughter-in-law, Concubine Zhou and his mother, Mrs. Zhao, agreed that they would not have the daughter-in-law of the high-ranking clan, so as to prevent the relatives from chaoticizing the government and causing trouble for their sons in the future. The Duke of Suiguo and Deputy Privy Councilor Zhou agreed extremely. The noble family and the powerful relatives of the Zhou family were enough.

Huo was born in Hebei and grew up in Hebei. He spoke Hebei Mandarin the day before, and the eldest prince laughed at him the first day. The concubine Zhao was from Suzhou. The eldest prince loved to listen to her soft Mandarin. In addition, Zhao was very embarrassed. The eldest prince fell in love with her girl Shui, so she sent Shui to the eldest prince's bed. After that, they often called Shui over and served the eldest prince together. Because she was informed and tactful, she was very favored by the eldest prince. In the eldest prince's mansion, she could surpass Huo in everything.

At this moment, Huo was first attacked by Concubine Zhou. Zhao followed Huo, while walking, he was thinking about how to tell the eldest prince about this when he went back.

After entering Meilin, Huo took a fancy to Yizhi and did not dare to let the eunuch break it. He looked at Zhao and said with a smile: "Sister, do you think this branch is beautiful?"

"The Empress said, you can choose, I will just help you take a look. If I say it is good or bad, wouldn't it be the decision for my sister? That would be against the Empress's order." Zhao wanted to see Huo's troublesomeness and said he was helping, but in fact he refused to help at all. It would be better to push him hard behind his back.

Huo turned his head and tears rolled in his eyes a few times, but he didn't dare to shed. He raised his head and ordered the eunuch to break the plum branches. He used his eyes to be fascinated and wiped away the tears that were full of tears.

After breaking the plum branches, he went to the greenhouse to pick up some flowers and put them in bottles. The girl eunuch held the vase of flowers and followed Huo and Zhao, and returned to Changning Palace.

Not far from Changning Palace, the eldest prince's concubine Huo slowed down, lowered her head and approached her concubine Zhao, looked around and said softly: "Sister, the Empress has praised her several times and said, "You have a good vision, and you can see if these bottles of flowers are good."

Zhao squinted at Huo and snorted coldly, "Sister, don't show me a favor. You are the concubine and sister. No matter how good my vision is, you are not better than you. I dare not take this."

"Sister, we left the mansion. People see that we are all from the same mansion, and they are all from the uncle's family. The flowers are so good. The empress is happy. The uncle is so good. Our mansion is so good. If it is not good, the empress is unhappy, the uncle will definitely be unhappy. It is our mansion, not..."
