This is a special case in history. Less than half a month after entering the palace, she has won the favor of the head nanny. How can one not be jealous
Apart from those with evil intentions, Murong Wan and the young master hated her the most.
When she entered Concubine Zhao's courtyard, the senior palace maid was already waiting at the door. When she saw her coming, she spoke to her enthusiastically.
"Sister Chen, our noble lady has been waiting impatiently for your dessert. Why did you come at this time? We have to eat a lot and complain."
Shen Qingwan now goes by the alias Chen Juanzhi. She is much older than the palace maids, so she naturally deserves to be called sister.
"I'm just afraid that you will be anxious waiting. It's coming soon. There's enough for you to have a share. It depends on whether your noble will love you or not."
"Hey, we are so lucky because of the kindness of the nobles. Come in quickly. It's very hot outside. Don't get tanned, otherwise your sister's good complexion will be wasted."
Even with a human skin mask, it couldn't hide Shen Qingwan's original good skin exposed.
"It's not that delicate."
When he entered the inner room, he saw Lady Zhao sitting on the beauty couch, fanning herself with a bored look.
When he saw Shen Qingwan, he sat up suddenly, like a child who had not grown up.
Qingwan couldn't help but laugh.
With this kind of personality, she is really not suitable for life in the palace.
"My dear, I have brought you some snacks. Please try them and see if they suit your taste. If not, I will improve them tomorrow and bring them back for you to taste again."
"How can I trouble you so much? I am probably the only one in the whole palace who is so greedy."
Concubine Zhao was a little hesitant, but she had no resistance to delicious food. She picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, tasting it carefully. The aroma of milk spread in her mouth, satisfying every taste bud.
She couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's delicious, how did this sister make it?"
With these words, the palace maids all turned their eyes to Shen Qingwan's face.
Shen Qingwan murmured in her heart, he really didn't know the sufferings of the world. This thing was a good way for a servant to win favor and rise to a higher position. If it was gone, what would she use to please him in the future
But the priorities cannot be reversed. The final result was to please Concubine Zhao and make friends with her, so Shen Qingwan wrote down the prescription and handed it to the senior palace maid who was already impatient.
"Look, my lord, there is real milk. No wonder it smells so sweet when it is served. The things I mentioned are all here. If you lose, you must treat us to a good meal."
"You guys are even greedier than me. You won't feel comfortable if you don't blackmail me. Well, since I've made a bet with you, I won't break my promise. I'll take out a hundred bucks from my box and make snacks for you. Tell the imperial kitchen what you want to eat, and don't forget to save some good ones for me."
"We servants will certainly not forget you."
The head palace maid had a sweet mouth and said a lot of nice things to Concubine Zhao, and Shen Qingwan beside her laughed along.
"Enjoy your meal, my lord. I will report to the imperial kitchen."
"Hey, wait a minute. Didn't you say last time that you were on good terms with the girls in Concubine Shu's palace, but you didn't dare to look for her? It's just right. I'll go with you this time. We can have the best of both worlds."
Shen Qingwan was overjoyed, but still asked considerately: "Are you on good terms with the Concubine Shu? Or do you have something to tell her? It would be embarrassing if you went there just because of me."
She could actually tell something was wrong from Concubine Zhao's words, but she still played dumb and pretended not to understand, and asked again.
The senior maidservant beside Lady Zhao said with a smile, "Our Lady will never trouble you for a little maid like you. Just follow me. When the time comes, you can talk to whoever you want. We will definitely not embarrass you."
Shen Qingwan smiled and nodded, her face full of flattery.
Concubine Zhao felt a sense of accomplishment. After all, she was a woman from a big family. Even if she was not good at these struggles, she had been exposed to them by nature and was not so ignorant.
Qingwan sighed, and only when she was outside Concubine Shu's bedroom could she help but become excited.
It seems that Concubine Zhao does not have a good relationship with Concubine Shu, but there must be one or two people who talk in the palace, even among the concubines. You can't ask her to always whisper with the palace maids or say things that she shouldn't, right
After entering the palace, the palace maids reported that their queen had just woken up and asked not to make too much noise and disturb her.
Shen Qingwan naturally knew that Concubine Shu disliked strangers.
Just barely cope.
Thinking of the upcoming meeting, Shen Qingwan was still very happy.
When they entered the inner room, they saw Concubine Shu's long black hair spread out on the soft couch. When she saw them coming, she didn't show any special expression. Instead, she fiddled with the ashes in the incense burner and said calmly, "Noble Lady Zhao doesn't usually talk to me. Why did you come to talk to me today?"
Lady Zhao apologized with a smile, "Sister, what are you talking about? You are the first person in this palace to help me, so of course I am close to you. It's just that Sister is shy. But it doesn't matter. I will come a few more times and I will be fine."
"Don't, don't you know that the Queen hates me? The ordinary concubines here don't want to associate with me. If you don't want to be spoiled, you can learn from them and stay away from me. Then you can live a peaceful life."
They are now all concubines and noble ladies. After the emperor's death, these women are equivalent to living widows.
When Concubine Zhao heard her mention the emperor, her heart moved and she wanted to ask something, but she was held back by the maid beside her. Concubine Shu looked at her in surprise.
Shen Qingwan's eyes flashed and she caught the change in this smile.
Could it be that this inconspicuous noble lady Zhao has feelings for Fu Yuheng
Haven't they met a few times
Qingwan couldn't figure out her true intentions, so she had to hold back and wait to see what Concubine Zhao was going to say to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Zhao lowered her head, kneaded the hem of her skirt with her fingers for a few times, and said stumblingly, "My sister has not been in the palace for long, and she has not met the emperor many times. She feels a little lonely now."
Concubine Shu was a little more relaxed and just responded to Lady Zhao with polite words.
"Sister, so this is why you are unhappy. Just listen to my advice. Death is like the extinguishing of a light. No matter how powerful a person is, he will grow old one day. All we can do is to be ourselves and live a good life. This is the greatest explanation to our family."
Concubine Zhao wanted to agree, but that was not the purpose of her coming here.
She had a secret that she wanted to ask, but she never had the chance.
She ordered the senior palace maid to bring the plate behind her to Concubine Shu to eat, but she didn't know that she was committing a big taboo.
Concubine Shu frowned, a little impatient, but she didn't want to offend people for no reason, so she could only blame the woman for being childish and ignorant.
"Please put it down for now, sister. I've been feeling very restless these past few days and I hate sweets the most. Put it down for now and eat it when you feel more hungry."
