Qingchuan: The empress is so cute and charming that she goes crazy in the harem

"By the way, the green plaques for the four of you have been made at the Jingsi Room and will be hung up tonight."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves,

The concubines looked at the four people with some scrutiny in their eyes.
The four of them looked at each other and saw eagerness and competition in each other's eyes.

Then they both blessed themselves and responded in unison: "Yes."

After Ulanara left, all the concubines left Jingren Palace in an orderly manner.

Nian was the first to board the chariot. Without looking at the crowd, he slightly raised his hand.
The chariot was gently lifted up and gradually moved away,

"Congratulations to your concubine for the New Year." All the concubines saluted.

When he stood up, Zhiyu tilted his head inadvertently.

From the corner of his eye, he inadvertently saw the envy and desire flashing through the eyes of the first of the four newcomers, Taira.

"Mother, be careful where you step." Jinzhan's reminder came to my ears.

When Zhiyu came back to his senses, he found that Yubin had left and his chariot was brought to him.
He smiled at Jinzhan, supported her, and carefully got on the chariot.

After sitting firmly, before Eunuch Dali had time to lift up, he was interrupted by a crisp voice,

"Concubine, your handkerchief."

Zhiyu lowered his head and looked at Nala's respectful expression with furrowed eyebrows and the plain brocade handkerchief held in both hands.

He curved his lips with a bright smile, waved his hand to put away the golden lamp, and said to Nala:
"Thank you Nala for always being here. I didn't notice when I dropped it."

Nala said meekly: "It's just a trivial matter. There is no need to be so polite with concubines."

"Yes, we are all sisters from the harem, so I won't say thank you. Nala often comes to Yanxi Palace to drink tea when she has time."

When Nala heard this, her face showed a hint of excitement, "Yes, my concubine is naturally willing to go if you are invited by me."

The old people behind looked at each other, and their eyes showed that they were watching a good show.
Su Changzai sneered: Look, this is flattering!

Hai Changzai showed disdain: Nala is also a Manchu surname, how can he be so shallow?
Shun agreed: hum, flattering.

……

Only the other three newcomers looked a little ugly.
An Changzai glanced at Nala, then looked at Zhiyu, "Sister Nala is careful and cautious, and I can't wait any longer."

Nala's smiling face suddenly froze.
Zhiyu just pretended not to see it, and said to An Changzai and others: "Of course, all my sisters, when you have time, you can come to Yanxi Palace and have tea with me."

An Changzai, Wu family, and Tarara Changzai saluted together, "Thank you so much, concubine!"

"Sisters, please take care of yourself. I will take the first step."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chariot was gently lifted up and moved forward slowly.

"Concubines, please send me your concubines!" Behind them were the congratulations of all the concubines.

Zhiyu pursed her lips and smiled, looking up at the cloudless blue sky.
Just know how to fight,
Only when there is competition can there be something to watch. When it becomes lively, no one will stare at her belly every day.

As all the concubines returned to their respective palaces, the scene of the four newcomers competing against each other in front of Jingren Palace spread like the wind.

All the concubines had mixed opinions about this.

Some people think that Nala is too stupid because he exposed his ambition and position all at once.

Some people think that Nala is a smart person and wants to climb up through knowledge and pleasure.

However, no matter which opinion they hold, they all believe that An Changzai is too sharp and may not be able to survive in the long run.

"If you don't say anything else, just talk about being a concubine, how can you tolerate An's putting on airs in front of her?"

Concubine Xi glanced in the direction of the east side hall, her thin lips parted slightly, "I think An would have killed herself without us having to do anything." Weiye lowered his head, "That's what the empress said!"

"Don't worry about these people for the time being. Send a young eunuch to guard the Yangxin Hall to see whose sign the emperor will turn over today." Concubine Xi gently touched the jade Ruyi in her hand and casually ordered.

"Yes." Weiye nodded and went out to deliver the order.

The same is true for the other palaces. They all sent quick little eunuchs to find out the news.

All the concubines are waiting for news from the Yangxin Hall, just to see who among these four can come out on top.
In fact, not only the concubines, but also the palace maids and eunuchs had set up gambling games in private.

In Yanxi Palace,

Dongju and Jinzhan also thought about what they had chatted with Zhiyu that day, and asked Liu Yulai to pay attention to the activities in the minister's room.

Neither of them expected that their mother-in-law's words would become a prophecy.
"It's really Wu Changzai, did you hear that right?"

"Hey, hey two aunts, can this be wrong?" Liu Yulai wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Eunuch Zhang from the Jingshi Room has already taken people to Qixiang Palace at this time!"

Dongju and Jinzhan looked at each other and said in unison: "What the empress said is indeed true."

"What?" Liu Yulai didn't understand what the two of them were talking about.
Jinzhan shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Go and send a message to the empress."

"Hey, right, right."

With that said, the three of them went to the inner hall together.

Zhiyu was collecting books and looking at the newly made clothes in the embroidery room.
Hearing the sound of Dong Ju and the others coming in through the curtain, she looked up casually.
I saw the puzzled expressions on Dongju and Jinzhan's faces.

"Empress..." Liu Yulai called Qian,

"But is there any news from the Jingsi Room?"

Liu Yulai nodded, "Yes, the emperor's translation today is..."

"It's Wu Chang here, right?" Zhiyu said directly,
Liu Yulai was very surprised. After he came to his senses, he quickly said:

"My Majesty has a clever plan. After the news came out, everyone in the palace was shocked. I didn't expect that you could guess it. It shows that your Majesty understands the emperor's heart best. It really makes me..."

"Okay, okay!" Zhiyu interrupted him when he saw that he was flattering him endlessly.
"That's a good spy. Go and do your work."

Liu Yulai smiled honestly and said, "I'll take my leave."

Seeing Liu Yulai's figure disappearing into the hall, Jinzhan couldn't bear it anymore and approached Zhiyu.
"Empress, how could you have guessed that Wu Changzai would come out on top?"

"Didn't I already say that?" Zhiyu kept moving his hands and said without raising his head: "Because Wu Changzai's appearance is the best among the four newcomers!"

"Ke Wang promised..."

"Wang promised because of her temperament, and that's why she still agrees." Zhiyu put down the clothes in his hands and raised his eyes to look at the two people who were still in disbelief.
"You can go and ask around to see if Wang Yao was favored for a while when he first entered the Qian residence?"

"You guys, don't make things too complicated. The four of them are Chang Zai. Why can't Wu Chang Zai rely on her appearance to let the emperor be the first to check her out?"

This has been the case with men since ancient times. Before they have any contact and don’t know their temperament, they always look at their faces first.

Even if Yinzhen is the emperor, even if he likes to abide by the rules, he is still a man!

"What the empress said is that the servants are overthinking it." Dong Ju looked like she was reflecting on herself.

Jinzhan also nodded, "I realize my mistake."

Zhiyu waved his hand, "Okay, it's not a big deal. There's no need to be like this. Let's go to the warehouse and prepare a gift for Wu Changzai."

"Yes!" (end of this chapter)
