Shufei's words made Qingying look at the other person in surprise.
"Are you suspicious that what happened today was done deliberately by Concubine Zhao just to gain favor?"
"Otherwise, I really can't figure it out. Could it be that Concubine Zhao just happened to run into Jingse?"
"After all this talk, we still have to talk about the reason why the two of them clashed today."
Qingying sighed softly, "Although Jingse is just a princess who is almost useless, she is the daughter of Empress Yuan after all. How can Zhaopin be calculating?"
"So, in this case, I am somewhat suspicious of Concubine Zhao's thoughts."
"But what if this wasn't something Zhaopin did intentionally, but was just an accident?"
Qingying's words made Concubine Shu silent.
Could it be a coincidence?
do not know.
She shook her head slightly and said, "Forget it. It has nothing to do with us after all. Sister, you don't have to worry about it."
"Before you come out, I haven't finished my embroidery yet, so hurry back."
Qingying just smiled without saying a word, and continued walking. The Imperial Garden returned to peace.
...
The wind and snow, which had stopped for two days, roared again in the Forbidden City.
Those who are favored and pregnant will naturally have all their expenses covered, and the Imperial Household Department will not dare to overlook even the slightest bit.
But those who are not favored have a really hard time.
Red charcoal cannot be used, only black charcoal can be used.
That’s all.
If you meet someone with a bad heart, I'm afraid even the share of charcoal won't be enough.
In Changchun Palace.
Although Noble Lady De was pregnant, she was not in a hurry to move the palace.
He still lives in the West Wing Hall today.
At this moment, the door curtain was lifted a little, and Bao Lian ran in rubbing her hands, "My lady, Chu promised to come. Do you want to see him?"
He casually threw the half-eaten orange onto the table.
Noblewoman De wiped her hands and said, "It's boring in the palace. Since she's here, it's okay for me to meet her. Please come in."
After Lady De finished speaking, Bao Lian didn't need to go out, as Chu Da Ying had already entered the house.
But for some reason, looking at the expression on his face, he didn't look that happy.
"I pay my respects to the noble lady, and wish you good luck."
Chu agreed respectfully and knelt down to pay his respects.
However, De Guiren had already gotten used to the other party's behavior.
"Sister, hurry up and get up. Baolian, bring the stove closer so Chu Yingyan can warm his hands."
"Thank you, sir."
Chu agreed and smiled, then sat down opposite Noble Lady De.
"Your Excellency, this is truly warm. Even when the red charcoal burns, there is no smoke at all. I am truly envious."
Of course, I promised that I would not use red charcoal.
And the noble lady is pregnant.
Therefore, although the two lived in Changchun Palace together, their treatment was very different.
Hearing this, she smiled and said, "There are rules for everything in the harem. My sister will have her day when she can use red charcoal."
Chu agreed with an embarrassed look on his face.
"I appreciate your kind words, but I know my own family affairs. I wouldn't dare covet such a good thing as red charcoal. I came here today because I really have something to ask of you, my dear sister."
Upon hearing this, Noble De turned around and glanced at the other person.
But Chu Da Ying had tears in his eyes and seemed very sad.
With a curl of his lips, he said, "You're being too kind. Living together in Changchun Palace is a rare fate for us. How can I even ask for help?"
The change of address from sister to daughter made Chu daughter feel tearful.
She wiped away her tears, blinked her eyes, and said, "My dear sister, you don't know that people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have always flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak."
"I am not as favored as my sister, and I am even more blessed. With the royal heir in the palace, the people below just keep looking down on me."
"I have no complaints about not having the red charcoal, but I should have given you the black charcoal according to your quota."
"But...but those people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
At this point, Chu Da Ying seemed to be unable to hold back the sadness in her heart any longer, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
But Chu promised to cry sadly, but De Guiren remained expressionless.
"Sister, please stop crying. It makes me sad just listening to you."
He said something perfunctorily and turned his eyes away.
Thinking about the purpose of today, Chu Da Ying naturally couldn't stop there.
She gritted her teeth and said again, "I know that my coming here today was really abrupt, but I really have no choice."
