In Fuyuan Pavilion.
The one who came to deliver something was Luzhi.
"Sister, why are you here? It's so cold in spring, and your face is red from the journey. Come in and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
Feicui, who was beside Zheng Cairen, hurried out to greet him.
Luzhi smiled and said, "Xiuyuan is thinking about the talented person. She wants to make new clothes in the spring, so she asked me to send some cloth."
"Lao Ming Xiuyuan is worried about me. The talented person is in there. Sister, please come with me." Feicui turned sideways.
The two of them went into the house together.
At this moment, Wang Cainü, who lived in the west wing opposite, opened the window and glanced outside.
Then I saw two little girls following Luzhi, each holding a tray.
I couldn't help but feel envious.
"I pay my respects to the talented lady." Luzhi bowed respectfully as she entered the room.
Zheng stood up and helped her up personally. "Don't be polite. I just heard Feicui talking to you. Look at your face. Come and have a cup of tea first."
Luzhi didn't dare to be arrogant and quickly refused.
"I am here to deliver some gifts on behalf of Xiuyuan. These materials are all excellent, and I have picked out the colors and patterns that the talented lady likes. There are also some jewelry. Xiuyuan said that the plan for the year starts in spring, so we must change everything from head to toe to something new for good luck."
After entering the palace for so many years, even though she was not born into a high status, she has seen a lot of good things.
The items on the tray looked very good, and Zheng knew it all.
"Xiuyuan means well. Now that she is pregnant, I cannot disturb her. I will definitely come to thank her when she moves into her new home someday."
Lu Zhi smiled and said, "You are too polite, my talent. We Xiuyuan are always the most considerate to our own people. I have to go back and report, so I won't bother you any more."
Zheng nodded, thought for a moment, then plucked a silver bead flower from her head and put it into Luzhi's hand.
"Miss, you've made such a tiring journey. You haven't even had a sip of this tea yet. You have to accept it anyway. Feicui, please send Miss Luzhi off for me."
Feicui responded and hurriedly led the way.
This time Luzhi didn't refuse.
After thanking him profusely, he went out.
She was also afraid that if she refused too much, Zheng Cairen would suspect that she looked down on this thing.
After Luzhi left, not long after, Wang Cainv, who lived in the opposite house, came to the house with her maid.
"I am here to pay my respects to you, sister. I hope I am not disturbing you in entertaining the guests."
Wang Cainv had a smile on her face and spoke in a cautious, even flattering tone.
Zheng Cairen waved his hand, "No need to be polite, I'm not entertaining guests, why are you here?"
When she said this, Wang didn't respond.
When I raised my eyes, I found that Wang Cainv's eyes were fixed on the jewelry and cloth that had not been put away yet. Her eyes were sparkling and full of envy.
After all, she had just entered the palace and had not yet learned how to conceal her emotions.
Zheng Cairen coughed lightly, which brought her back to her senses.
He smiled very awkwardly and immediately took out a purse from behind and handed it over.
"I have nothing to do these days, so I made a purse for my sister. I just finished it today and brought it here. I don't know if my sister likes it."
Zheng Cairen took it and took a look. She found that the craftsmanship was indeed exquisite, even better than that of the embroiderers in the palace.
"Thank you for your trouble. Please take a seat. I have some freshly brewed hot tea and snacks. Please help yourself."
After receiving the invitation, Wang Cainv sat down happily.
After rolling his eyes, he began to ask who sent these things.
When he learned that it was Ming Xiuyuan who sent it, he was even more envious for a moment.
Everyone in the harem knows that Ming Xiuyuan is favored now, but who would have thought that Zheng Cairen, who lives in the remote Fuyuan Pavilion, would be able to get close to Ming Xiuyuan.
Suddenly, Wang Cainv became more attentive, and her words showed that she wanted Zheng Cairen to introduce her to Ming Xiuyuan.
In Wang's opinion, Ming Xiuyuan is pregnant and cannot serve the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber, so she must be trying to win over Zheng and consolidate her favor by sending gifts to her.
Then you can do it yourself too.
But Zheng Cairen is not a patient person. After sitting on the bench for many years, she is now even harder-hearted than Zhou Wanrong and she is annoyed in no time.
He asked Wang Cainv to leave directly.
But she also reminded Wang that if she wanted to follow Ming Xiuyuan, she would have to give up her favor and not think about sleeping with her.
But to Wang Cainü, it seemed that Zheng Cairen was unwilling to introduce her and was deliberately trying to scare her in order to make her give up.
I was so angry for a moment.
Since Zheng Cairen refused to introduce her, she would go by herself.
Zheng is older than her and not as pretty as her. If Ming Xiuyuan wants to choose someone to consolidate her favor, she will definitely choose her.
Thinking of this, Wang went back to her room and started thinking about what excuse she could use to pay the visit.
evening.
Feicui came in to turn off the lights, and waited for Zheng Cairen to rest. Then she whispered to her that she saw someone doing needlework in the room opposite with the lights on.
Such diligence, combined with what happened during the day.
You don't have to think about what Wang wants to do.
"Go to sleep, don't worry about her. If Ming Xiuyuan really accepts her, then there's something fishy going on." Zheng said calmly.
Jade naturally thought so too and didn't say anything more.
However, the master and servant did not expect Wang to be so ambitious and would not let go once she got the chance.
She didn't go out for several days, made two sets of clothes for the children, and then went to Yuxiu Pavilion.
Ye Jun was bored and lay lazily on the small couch.
While listening to Nanny Liang talking about things to pay attention to during pregnancy, I was playing with rice cakes.
When he heard that Wang Cainv came to pay a visit, he didn't react for a moment to realize which Wang Cainv she was.
Bai Zhu hurriedly explained, "She is a newcomer who just entered the palace last year. She lives in Fuyuan Pavilion with Zheng Cairen. I heard that she is from Yongzhou."
"Yongzhou?" Ye Jun frowned. "Isn't that the same place as An's? This Yongzhou really produces beauties. First there was Consort Wende, and now another one, Lady Wang, has been chosen."
"So are you going to meet Xiuyuan or not?" Bai Zhu asked carefully.
Ye Jun waved his hand, "Let's meet. Now that everyone is here, we have to see who the immortal is."
Soon, Bai Zhu came in with two women.
The one in front is Wang Cainü.
She had a standard oval face, bright almond-shaped eyes, two curved eyebrows that were slightly thicker than those of ordinary people, making her look more lively, a small cherry mouth, a slight smile, and a pair of dimples on her face.
She looks like a sweet person.
This is nothing like An's.
An's appearance is gentle and fresh, with a calm temperament and a slightly cold look.
Of course, later on that coolness gradually turned into sharpness and harshness.
"I pay my respects to Ming Xiuyuan. May Xiuyuan be blessed with good health."
As soon as Wang arrived, she bowed deeply.
Ye Jun looked at her and slowly stood up. "No need to be polite. Please take a seat."
Huiyue responded and brought her an embroidery stool.
After Wang Cainv expressed her gratitude, she sat down very nervously.
"I was good at sewing when I was a boudoir student. I have nothing to do these days, so I made a few sets of clothes for Xiuyuan's unborn prince and sent them here specially."
"Oh? You are quite diligent. I am less than six months old and you have already made the clothes." Ye Jun said lightly.
Wang Cainv smiled slightly flatteringly.
"Xiu Yuan is a blessed person. I have made this dress. If it is kept by Xiu Yuan for a long time, it will naturally be stained with Xiu Yuan's blessing. When the little prince is born, he will be healthy and smart wearing the dress that carries his mother's blessing."
