Pick a Prince and Get Rich

Yikun palace.

Dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, Shen Tu Minghui sips the tea handed by qiao'er and looks down at the concubines. Since she lifted the ban, these concubines, as in the past, flattered one by one and talked so much. However, no one came to help her when she died.

"Ladies and sisters, the palace summoned you today for the Chongyang family banquet. Do you have any good suggestions?" Shen Tu Ming Hui put down her tea and looked at the crowd with a smile.

All of them were sitting upright and did not dare to speak easily. They all lowered their heads and played with the handkerchief in their hands.

"Why, don't you all know how to talk on weekdays? Today, all of you are dumb?" Shen Tu Minghui touched the Phoenix on her finger and sneered.

The concubines who sat down were in a cold sweat. Huifei said, "I'll listen to the Queen's instructions." She got up from her seat and saluted to Shentu Minghui. Seeing her like this, all the concubines learned from her.

"I'll listen to the empress."

Seeing this, Shen Tu Minghui got up and said, "since you all say that you listen to our palace, then the Chongyang cake should be made by Ziling palace. It must be made by Princess Hui herself to show her sincerity."

On hearing this, the maid beside huifei frowned and said, "empress, Chongyang cakes have always been made by the cooks in the imperial dining room. If you let her make them, I'm afraid --"

"Why, isn't huifei so delicate that she can't do it well?" Shen Tu Minghui stares at huifei tightly. She just wants to take the opportunity to punish her. Who let her seize her sixth palace power.

"I dare not, I will do it!" Huifei shakes her head towards Rumeng. She doesn't understand what Shentu Minghui means.

The concubines of each palace knelt on the ground and did not say a word. Originally, huifei and the empress were incompatible. However, the life of these concubines was much better than usual when huifei was in charge of the harem for a month. After all, huifei was not as suspicious as the empress.

"Empress, there are so many people to be entertained on the Double Ninth Festival. I'm afraid it's too late for Empress Hui to do it alone. When the emperor knows, she will be punished!" Kneeling behind huifei, Jiapin said softly.

Her father was a colleague of huifei's father. They were both in the Imperial Academy. Therefore, she would help each other.

Hearing this, Shen Tu Minghui moves her steps lightly and comes to Jiapin. She raises her face and looks at her carefully: "since Jiapin cares about huifei so much, you two will make the Chongyang cake together. When you get it, the emperor will not blame our palace."

"Empress, you --" Jia pin frowned at her.

"Why, what else do you have to say?" Shen Tu Minghui released her chin fiercely and said coldly to the crowd, "if anyone dares to speak for huifei again, then he will be the same as Jiapin. Do you hear that?"

All of them bowed their heads and answered in unison. They did not dare to say one more word. The empress obviously wanted to make a clear distinction between the Hougong and huifei.

Shen Tu Minghui was in a good mood after a bad breath. "OK, let's stop here today. You all go down."

"Yes And they bowed, and went out.

Huifei went out of Yikun palace with Jiapin.

On the long white jade road, huifei and Jiapin walked to the purple spirit palace, followed by their maids.

"Why are you today? She made it clear that she wanted to set an example to others." There was a little gratitude and regret in huifei's eyes.

The concubine held her hand and said, "if it wasn't for my sister's father, I'm afraid my father would have been put into prison by the prime minister. Today, I'm just helping my sister make some Chongyang cakes. What's the point?"

"But you know, she will see you as my partner and you as a thorn in the side."

"I'm not afraid. Since huifei is not afraid, I'm not afraid either. I don't have any trouble in the palace. My father resigned and returned home. Even if she wants to get rid of me, it's OK!" There is a trace of loneliness in the eyes of Jiapin.
