Shuhua helped Cheng Mingran get down from the sedan chair. The plum blossoms in winter were indeed very beautiful, but Cheng Mingran did not feel very excited or happy looking at them.

She didn’t know if it was because her mood had changed, or if she was no longer interested in these things, but looking at the plum blossoms this time, she felt inexplicably sad in her heart.

"Your Majesty, can I pick a few plum blossoms for you to put in the vase?" Shuhua also tried his best to please his majesty.

Cheng Mingran shook her head: "It's okay, don't make such a fuss, it's just a few plum blossoms, what can you add even if you pick them back?"

Okay, Shuhua didn’t say anything else after hearing that.

"Empress Shufei?" A gentle voice came from not far away.

Cheng Mingran looked over and saw the woman opposite her. She was wearing a dark blue palace dress and looked like a gentle beauty.

"Empress Liang." Cheng Mingran nodded slightly when she saw her, and Empress Liang also bowed.

"I didn't expect to see Concubine Shu here today. Concubine Shu hasn't been out for a long time." Concubine Liang's voice was gentle. She always had this image in the harem.

Cheng Mingran smiled slightly: "I just happened to have some free time, so I just took a walk here. Concubine Liang doesn't like to go out on weekdays, so why are you here today?"

"I heard that the plum blossoms here are blooming beautifully, so I came here to get some fresh air. Unexpectedly, I met Concubine Shu here. It's really boring to stay in the palace all day." Concubine Liang said.

Cheng Mingran did not continue to speak, but just walked forward slowly. Liang Fei followed her and said, "I heard that Madam Shufei was not feeling well a few days ago. I was afraid that she would have to recover, so I did not bother her. Now that she has come out, are you feeling better?"

"It's not a big deal. They are just exaggerating. There's no need to worry." Cheng Mingran replied.

Concubine Liang laughed when she heard this: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Now that I see you, I feel like you've changed a lot."

"Has it changed? But it should be a good thing," Cheng Mingran said.

Concubine Liang chuckled: "I don't know how many people envy you now. You can be considered to have finally gotten your reward after all the hardships you've endured."

Cheng Mingran's expression remained unchanged: "So in your eyes, this is what I have finally achieved after all the hardships! It seems that I really didn't have a good life before?"

When Concubine Liang heard this, her expression changed instantly: "Please forgive me, Madam Shufei, I was wrong."

Cheng Mingran smiled calmly: "Empress Liang has always been the most polite person in the harem. How could she say something wrong? She just said what was in her heart, right?"

When Concubine Liang heard this, she couldn't stand it anymore and knelt down directly: "Please forgive me, Concubine Shu. It's all my fault. Please don't blame me!"

Cheng Mingran glanced at her: "What happened today doesn't seem like something you, Concubine Liang, would do, or is there something else you want to do?" She asked directly.

"I don't quite understand what Your Majesty the Concubine is saying. Please explain it to me." Concubine Liang lowered her head, having lowered her attitude to the lowest level.

Cheng Mingran was too lazy to argue with her: "Forget it, Madam Liang, just pretend that I didn't say anything." He was about to leave just after saying this, but he heard Madam Liang speak: "It is my fault that I upset Madam Shu today. I am willing to kneel here for two hours, please calm down Madam Shu."
