Chu Lianruo's appearance in the palace was not considered the best, but her whole body exuded a unique charm that no one could match. Her delicate and charming temperament made all the women infatuated with her.

  Moreover, for some unknown reason, when she saw Chu Lianruo, she felt a sense of familiarity, but couldn't quite put her finger on where the familiarity came from.

  Lu Luo's gaze swept over her and then quietly withdrew, unintentionally entangling with these concubines.

  The Empress Dowager was talking to Yu Guifei at this time, and Lu Luo looked at Shi Yuyin who was speaking in a rising and falling tone, but didn't know what she was thinking in her heart. She lowered her head again and carefully peeled the walnut on the side.

  The empress dowager liked to eat walnuts. Green Luo attended her in front of her, and all the walnuts she ate were peeled by Green Luo herself.

  Lüluo was a very likable person. When Qin Zhaoxin liked to eat Osmanthus cake, every year when the Osmanthus flowers were in full bloom, Lüluo would get up early and pick fresh Osmanthus flowers under the heavy dew, making all kinds of pastries that Qin Zhaoxin loved.

  There is also a green Luo-made Osmanthus wine, which is even more unique. Xiangyun Rong has ever praised it before.

  At that time, she never found out that Green Luo also had the idea of wanting to be the master.

  Coming out of the empress dowager's palace, Chu Lian and Shi Yu Yin walked side by side, asking about the situation with a seemingly innocent tone: "The one beside the empress dowager seems quite unfamiliar."

  "She's used to serving people, so she'll just do this kind of thing. What's there to worry about? A person like her will never pose a threat to you in this lifetime." Shi Yuyin mentioned Lu Luo with great disdain, but unexpectedly found that Chu Lian had noticed the woman, and when saying this, her eyes were filled with a hint of doubt, yet full of sarcastic meaning.

  "It's not that I'm afraid she'll threaten me in the slightest, but rather that this person has a calm demeanor and seems to have a special aura...". Chu Lian didn't continue speaking, only smiling faintly as if finding her own thoughts laughable, which coincidentally matched Shi Yu Yin's sarcasm.

  Shi Yu Yin couldn't help but smile slightly, "What special temperament, it's just that she knows how to flatter the emperor, in front of His Majesty, she doesn't have half a chance." (Cotton Candy)

  Chu Lian smiled silently, she didn't want to continue entangling herself in this topic anymore.

  He smiled and said to Shi Yu Yin, "The Empress Dowager is a recluse who likes quietness. This birthday banquet wants to be lively and cleverly invites the Empress Dowager, fearing that it will take some effort. If this green Luo can help, it would be better."

  "Her?" Shi Yu Yin couldn't help but laugh, "She rarely interacts with the concubines, always sticking to the Empress Dowager's side. Even if you and I were to invite her, she might not agree."

  "This birthday banquet is the emperor's favor to us sisters, if it goes well, the empress dowager will be delighted and naturally pleased, but if...". The rest of the words were not spoken by Chu Lian, but Shi Yu Yin also knew that the dragon would be furious.

  It wasn't easy for Shi Yuyin to regain the emperor's favor, so she naturally wouldn't let slip this opportunity to ingratiate herself. She thought seriously about Chu Lian's suggestion.

  Several times with the empress to discuss the birthday banquet, she just symbolically pointed out one or two things, very careless, a let you guys go ahead and do it, whatever attitude.

  It really makes Shi Yu Yin feel headache, now Chu Lian's suggestion to find Lu Luo for help should be a good idea, after all, who in the palace understands the Empress Dowager's mind better than Lu Luo.

  Even a person who cultivates himself cannot avoid having seven emotions and six desires, and naturally he also has his own preferences, but they are expressed very faintly.

  "Shall we give it a try?" Shi Yuyin stopped in her tracks, looking at Chu Lianruo with a hesitant expression. To be honest, she didn't like the idea of seeking help from someone she normally wouldn't even notice, but at the same time, she thought it was a good plan.

  "Give it a try, the imperial concubine doesn't need to go in person, just have someone quietly invite her to the palace when the empress dowager is not around. Then, we can ask her about the empress dowager's daily life, food and drink, and hobbies. Even if she's a pure and virtuous person, she'll still have desires. Green Luo is always by the empress dowager's side, it's hard to say whether she knows or not. This way, we can also help the empress dowager fulfill her wishes on her birthday." Chu Lianruo slightly opened her vermilion lips, seemingly casual and gentle as she offered suggestions to Shi Yuyin. Shi Yuyin couldn't help but secretly praise her in her heart, this Chu Lianruo was indeed not to be underestimated.

  "All right, let's do as Yufei said." Shi Yu Yin nodded slightly and then whispered to the palace maid beside her, instructing her on what to do next. The maid took orders and left.

  Chu Lian followed Yu Yin into her palace and waited for Lu Luo to arrive.

  The two of them chatted casually, but there was always an invisible sense of restraint and vigilance. Chu Lian was extremely polite to Shi Yu Yin, while Shi Yu Yin was cautious in her heart and refused to say more than necessary.

  The two of them chatted about nothing in particular until Green came.

  Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Luo had met Chu Lianruo and Shi Yuyin before, and after the formalities were over, she was very nervous and didn't know what they wanted with her.

  Shi Yu Yin asked her, the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, she had also heard earlier, do you know if there are any other mistakes, don't mind saying, she is always by the Empress Dowager's side serving, presumably deeply understanding the Empress Dowager's temperament and preferences.

  Lu Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief and told Chu Lian everything she knew, including the empress's small wish.

  Shi Yuyin and Chu Lianruo exchanged a smile, reaping a rich harvest. With such arrangements, they had nothing to fear the Empress Dowager's displeasure.

  In a few days, it will be the Empress Dowager's birthday. Early in the morning, the palace is decorated with lanterns and streamers, and all the palace maids and eunuchs are dressed in new festive clothes, filling the air with a joyful atmosphere.

  But although it was so, yet in the palace there was no noise, and all things went on in order.

  The red silk knots on the festive hall displayed bright red longevity characters, three tables were set up on the high platform, with Empress Dowager at the head of one table and Emperor and Empress accompanying her on either side.

  The other consorts were all below the sixth rank of Yu Jie, arranged in order of their ranks on both sides, two people per table.

  Chu Lian and Shi Yu Yin stood at the forefront of both sides, while outside the hall were some officials' wives who had come to celebrate the imperial edict.

  The longevity banquet began, and Empress Dowager slowly came to the wedding hall with the support of Green Luo, sitting in the first position.

  Everyone stood up, paying respects and wishing the empress a happy birthday. The empress sat down, then nodded and smiled, saying, "Please be seated, today is just a birthday family banquet, all of you imperial consorts don't need to be so formal, relax a bit."

  The many consorts finally took their seats, each with a personal maid standing behind them. Chu Lian had Ah Ying standing behind her.

  Because the Empress Dowager was in a state of quiet contemplation and disliked boisterous celebrations, the various consorts did not individually come out to offer birthday congratulations and gifts. Only Shi Yu Yin represented them in presenting a congratulatory address, which pleased the Empress Dowager greatly, as it accorded with her wishes.

  Shi Yuyin saw the Empress Dowager's delight and, taking matters into her own hands, presented a string of Tibetan Buddhist prayer beads with both hands. Legend had it that these were once worn by the Buddha himself and possessed spiritual energy. As soon as they were brought out, the wedding chamber was filled with the faint scent of incense.

  The empress was delighted at first sight, this was exactly the string of Buddhist beads she had been longing for, and she knew it as soon as she smelled the scent.

  "Chu Fei was indeed kind-hearted, and the Dowager Empress had been wanting this Buddha bead for a long time." A eunuch with an ulterior motive immediately walked to Chu Lianrong's side, took it from her hands, and respectfully presented it to the Dowager Empress with a slight bow.

  "It's worth it to gain the Empress Dowager's favor, even if it means putting in a bit more thought." Chu Lian Rong bowed her head and body towards the Empress Dowager, "Speaking of which, I owe thanks to Green Luo, who serves by your side, for being able to learn of Your Majesty's fondness for this Buddhist bead. She truly is a thoughtful and clever person." Chu Lian Rong hid the hatred in her heart, but a hint of a gentle smile like clear water appeared between her eyebrows.

  The Empress Dowager delighted in quiet contemplation, everyone knew that. However, within the palace walls, where could one find a pure land? Thus, at this moment, seeing Chu Lian's gentle smile, the Empress Dowager's heart stirred. "Green Lotus has always been by my side and indeed heard me ramble on a few times; she is an understanding child."

  Lu Lian hastily got up and thanked her, while secretly glancing at Chu Lianrong. She had thought that whether it was Concubine Chu or Noble Consort Yu, neither of them would mention this achievement, but unexpectedly, Chu Lianrong didn't hide her selfish intentions at all? In her heart, she was secretly pondering, but on the surface, she wore a frightened expression, "Your Majesty is overpraising me, as long as Her Majesty likes it."

  The empress dowager waved her hand, and Green Lotus understood, pushing forward, "The emperor has indeed found a wonderful woman. Such a delicate and elegant person like a lotus flower is rarely seen in the palace. In the future, you must come to accompany me more often."

  "Lotus was indeed a wonderful girl, able to gain the Empress Dowager's favor, and it was her good fortune." Xū Róng Lǎng chuckled and gazed at Chǔ Lián Róng with an even more fervent gaze.

  Chu Lian hid the disgust in her eyes, "Your Majesty's words are extremely correct, I will definitely visit the Empress Dowager's palace more often from now on, as long as you don't mind me disturbing your quiet cultivation."

  The empress dowager saw that Chu Lian's words were also humble and polite, her movements elegant and refined. She liked her even more at this moment, "Of course not."

  Chu Lian Rong Fu first thanked and retreated to one side, the emperor had no empress by his side, at this time he was sitting alone on that high throne, staring at Chu Lian Rong returning to her own seat, couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

  It's just that on the Empress Dowager's birthday, this ritual can't be broken just because someone says so.

  Chu Lianrong's withdrawal was only to give Shi Yuyin space to speak, otherwise this woman would definitely be at odds with herself.

  No need to say, Shi Yuyin saw Chu Lianrong return to her seat, and the somewhat gloomy expression gradually became clear. She stood up with a smile, and the previous ups and downs had made her thinner. The light yellow silk skirt was tied at the waist with a deep red jade belt, which outlined her slender waist perfectly as she moved.

  Xu Rong couldn't help but think of their first meeting when she saw Shi Yu Yin like this. At that time, she was also wearing a light yellow cheongsam with a deep red ribbon. Seeing her much thinner body again, a hint of heartache flashed in her eyes, but it only lasted for an instant.

  Chu Lianrong was stroking the white jade cup on the table, looking at Xiurong's eyes with a heartache that slowly lowered her head. In an angle where others couldn't see, she let out a low snort of laughter.
