The carriage entering the palace was moving slowly, this time, Chu Lian didn't tell Xū Yáng that she was going to enter the palace. It wasn't intentional concealment, but rather this time, it wasn't necessary for him to assist her. If he were present, it would probably lead to unnecessary complications.

  In her previous life, as the Empress Qin Zhaixin already knew that Xiurong would go to Cining Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager in chanting scriptures and Buddha's name after the early morning court on the 15th of each month, and only return to the Imperial Study Room at noon.

  Today is July 15th, and Xiurong will definitely do the same. Chu Lian's eyes gradually condensed, and a cold smile was drawn at the corner of her lips.

  Because of that imperial gift plaque, Chu Lian's visit to the palace this time not only made things much easier for her, but also changed the way the palace staff looked at her from disdain to reverence. The eunuch who had previously accepted silver from Chu Lian was especially regretful, saying he had eyes but no wisdom and wanting to return the silver.

  Chu Lian smiled and let the old man leave the silver, but in her heart she couldn't help but sneer at these things that bullied the weak and feared the strong.

  Arrived at Yangyang Palace, the situation was completely different.

  Na Zenglan was not as arrogant as before, but she was still indignant and scolded in the courtyard: "You this fox spirit, in order to entice the emperor, actually thought of such a despicable method, it is indeed a small door and a small household, such things, I, a big family's virtuous woman, really can't do."

  Perhaps because of being pampered, Chu Wanruo actually became bolder than before, coldly laughing: "Everyone's beloved daughter? Ha! Everyone's beloved daughter wouldn't have the behavior of a shrew like you scolding on the street. Don't you fear disgracing everyone's beloved daughter?"

  Zeng Lan was so angry that she couldn't speak, and simply stomped her foot at Chu Wanruo, cursed a couple of times "sly vixen" before hiding into the house.

  When Chu Lianruo arrived, Chu Wanruo's face showed a look of impatience. "Why did you take so long to come? Are you afraid that I would use those spells and surpass your beauty?" After saying this, she felt it was inappropriate and hurriedly added: "This young master's appearance is originally several points more beautiful than yours."

  Chu Lian couldn't help but laugh in her heart, this Chu Wanru's change of face was indeed quick, such a foolish woman, obviously having something to ask of her, yet still dared to order her around.

  Although she was annoyed in her heart, Chu Lian still had a smile on her face and said: "I suppose you're still using that facial cream recipe, it's really effective, just look at your skin, it's so moist and translucent, like a peeled egg."

  Upon hearing Chu Lianruo's praise, Chu Wanruo's face, which had been showing impatience, suddenly lit up with pride: "The Emperor also praised my skin as being like snow."

  After finishing speaking, Chu Wanru suddenly remembered why Chu Lianruo had come and hastily said: "Quickly, is there any other prescription? Give it to me to use."

  Seeing Chu Wanruo's eagerness, Chu Lianruo felt a sense of disdain. As everyone says, what women cultivate is not only their appearance but also their inner demeanor. A beautiful appearance can only attract people for a short while, but one's demeanor can attract people for a lifetime. With Chu Wanruo's rough behavior, it's likely that even with training, she won't be able to achieve the desired effect.

  Although she was thinking about it, Chu Lianruo still followed Chu Wanruo into the house, smiling and saying: "Noble person, today we are going to train in body shape."

  Chu Lian explained the subtleties to Chu Wanruo, but after only two points, Chu Wanruo's face showed a look of impatience: "What's the use of learning these things? I want something that can improve my appearance. What's the point of this trivial stuff?"

  Upon hearing this, Chu Lian explained: "If a woman has a good figure, every move she makes will be elegant and refined, showing off her noble character. If the emperor were to learn about this, he would probably want to spend every night with you."
