Xiao Dezi finished transmitting the order and wanted to bid farewell. Chu Xue, as usual, stuffed a small pouch into his hand. Xiao Dezi's face was neither humble nor arrogant, nor did he thank her with pleasure. He just bowed politely and retreated. Lin Yuan looked at his back and shook her head. The people in front of the emperor were indeed different from others and could not be bought by concubines.

  Two maids and eunuchs were busy registering a large box of things in the ledger and moving it into the warehouse, while Lin Yu followed the first snow to Changxin Palace to pay her respects.

  Lin Wan arrived just in time, and more than half of the consorts had already arrived at Changxin Palace.

  In front of these people, Lin Wei still had a humble and obedient appearance, sitting down in her own position at the edge. The expressions of those around her were mostly unfriendly, but they all looked at each other with almost the same scowl. Lin Wei was already used to it, quietly cracking open almonds by herself.

  The first snow saw her eating happily, busily looking around in all directions, and hastily lowering her head to whisper in her ear: "Young master, how can this thing in the other palace be..."

  Lin Wan couldn't help but be taken aback, never thinking that this first snow would still be able to surprise her. She had just been following her own palace maid, yet was also able to say such a thing.

  It seems that this first snow is going to put all the bets on itself, and it's because of its own means of dealing with the emperor in these days that it has won her appreciation, thinking that it's a capable person. As a servant, one has always been particular about not serving two masters, especially in the palace, where choosing the wrong master can lead to collapse, but choosing the right one can make the master rise to prominence and oneself also soar to great heights.

  In the future, this first snow can be entrusted with important tasks again, but I don't know if the other few servants are also worthy of reuse.

  Lin Yan's face showed a satisfied smile, she waved her hand to stop her from speaking, and whispered: "I understand what you mean, it's nothing. If I don't eat, others will think that I'm thinking too much and will be suspicious of me."

  The first snow had just come to a stop, and thinking about it again, I also felt that such a thing was impossible in the Changxin Palace. After all, even if the Empress Dowager wanted to do something, she wouldn't use such a foolish method, would she?

  Then he put his mind at ease and carefully peeled apricot kernels for Lin Yuan.

  At this time, a woman wearing a green pleated skirt and a horse-faced dress stepped into the palace gate. Instead of walking straight forward, she deliberately walked around from Lin's side. Lin was slightly startled, got up and saluted her: "Please sit down, Jiang Huiji."

  Jiang Huaji is an old hand in the palace, still just a small concubine, and this year's newly appointed imperial consorts, who are as young as flowers, are almost stepping on her head. She looked at Lin Yuxuan's courtesy appearance, raised an eyebrow, and smiled indifferently: "Lin Meiren's etiquette is not bad."

  Lin Wan clearly knew that this was a disaster, and she just sneered in her heart, thinking that Jiang Huiji was an insignificant person in the harem, yet she dared to think that Lin Wan was easy to bully?

  It seems like last night's incident has invited more jealousy.

  Jiang Huiji only said that one sentence, but didn't call out, Lin Yuan could only continue to maintain the motion of bowing.

  Several concubines noticed the commotion and were peeking out to see what was happening. Zhao Shuyuan's position was closer to the front, but her eyes were sharp as she shook her head and said: "Lin Shi may look demure on the surface, but in reality, she is a tough cookie."

  Even if being tossed around, even if waist and legs are bent, the expression on face is still calm.

  Such a woman will not always be in a low position.

  "Jiang Huaji has been in the palace for many years, and she is still like this. No wonder she can't move up the ranks." A nearby noble concubine picked up the conversation, smiling and saying: "Without Xiangfei's abilities, she dares to imitate Xiangfei's style."

  Several high-ranking ladies quietly watched from a distance, with no intention of intervening.

  "If Ruofei were here, she would definitely be in charge of this matter." Zhao Shuyuan suddenly added.

  For some reason, she thought of Rong Fei, and Zhao Shuyu shook her head in her heart. Not everyone has Rong Fei's "kind heart".

  Not everyone has Ruyi's high EQ!
