A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

Ling Xiangxiang ran out in one breath.

She didn't stop until she had run a long way away from Yufangzhai, gasping for breath.

"Oh! I'm so tired!"

The palace maid Shi Zi was also running and sweating profusely, but she didn't care about herself. Instead, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Ling Xiangxiang's head.

"My lady, why are you running away? Even if the emperor is gone, it's broad daylight and there's nothing wrong with the three of us talking together!" Persimmon asked in confusion.

Ling Xiangxiang took the handkerchief, wiped it herself and said, "I don't know why, every time I see the emperor, I get nervous and want to run away!"

Persimmon guessed, "Is the young lady doing this because she loves the emperor? She doesn't dare to get close to him because of her love for him."

Ling Xiangxiang rejected it outright, “Impossible!”

Persimmon said with regret, "Why... why is that? You missed so many opportunities to meet the emperor..."

"But the emperor never summoned me, nor did he come to see me on purpose, so why should I be an eyesore?" Ling Xiangxiang said to herself

Persimmon used Zuo Wenyi as an example, "But Concubine Kang entered the palace with you, the young lady, and moved to Chengping Palace together. She has been promoted from a concubine to a noble lady, and even gave birth to a little prince! Didn't the emperor take the initiative to summon her? She also relied on her own initiative to have everything she has today!"

Ling Xiangxiang said without even thinking, "Oh, I'm different from her. I can't do what she does!"

"My lady..." said Persimmon

"Okay, let's go!" Ling Xiangxiang said

The two of them left like this.

Shoukang Palace

The nanny brought some easily digestible snacks and placed them in front of the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, look, this is the cake that Concubine Qing sent to me. I heard that this cake melts in your mouth, is sweet but not greasy, and is perfect for you at your age!"

The Queen Mother put down the Buddhist scriptures in her hand and said, "What snacks? Did Concubine Qing send them?"

The nanny replied, "Your Majesty, that's right. I heard that Concubine Qing ordered the people in the Imperial Tea and Food Room to specially develop it. Your Majesty, please try it!"

The Queen Mother picked up a piece and put the dessert into her mouth.

"What does the Queen Mother think?" Nanny stepped forward and asked

The Queen Mother took a bite of the meat, put it back on the plate, and said, "It's OK, but it's great that Concubine Qing has the heart to do this."

The nanny said, "Yes, Queen Mother, Concubine Qing's filial piety is even better than that of the Queen!"

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea from the cup and said, "I heard that the Queen has been free these days. All these miscellaneous matters have been pushed to the Yanxi Palace and handed over to Concubine Qing to handle."

After hearing this, the nanny said, "The Emperor has given Concubine Qing the power to assist in managing the six palaces, and she has done these things, but... the Empress is like this, I'm afraid Concubine Qing will be tired."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "It's okay for Concubine Qing to be a little tired, but some people have lost their duty!"

The nanny asked, "Does the Queen Mother want to take this opportunity to criticize her?"

The Queen Mother rejected it and said, "I have ignored the trivial matters of the harem for a long time. Just pretend that I have turned a deaf ear to them. Some things will naturally reach the ears of the Emperor after a long time."

The nanny said, "Yes, the Queen Mother is wise."

The Queen Mother said, "The Queen has appointed someone else, and Concubine Qing has no complaints. I am the only one standing up for her. It makes me look like I have too much trouble!"

Mammy nodded in agreement, "The Queen Mother is right!"

The Queen Mother thought of the arrangement for Concubine Shen to sleep with her, and asked, "By the way, it's been a while since I arranged for Concubine Zhao to sleep with her last time. Is there any good news?"

Nanny shook her head helplessly, "I'm afraid the Queen Mother is disappointed. There is no good news."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh, "This won't work, then make new arrangements. There is no shortage of women in the harem. The Emperor is not anxious about these things, so I have to worry for him!"

"I met the daughter of the Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate, Ling, once on the day of the sacrifice. Although she seemed a little noisy, she was quite lively. Go down and make some arrangements!"

The nanny said in embarrassment, "This... I heard from the people in the Yangxin Palace that the last time Zhao was arranged to sleep with the emperor, it caused great dissatisfaction to the emperor... If it is arranged again... This..."

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Go! Why are you so timid? I'm still waiting to have more grandchildren! If anything goes wrong, I'll take the consequences!"

The nanny accepted the order and said, "Yes, I will go right away."

Yanxi Palace

Concubine Qing was busy with the matters at hand.

Ying'er complained, "The Queen is such a jerk. She leaves everything to the Queen, and she herself has nothing to do!"

After hearing what Ying'er said, Concubine Qing looked up and rebuked, "Ying'er, don't be unreasonable!"

Ying Er pouted and said, "She can't hear me if I say it here..."

"I just can't stand it! I thought good days would come after the Queen made me a concubine, but who knew that since the Queen made me a concubine, I have been busier every day and I don't even have time to rest!"

Concubine Qing smiled and said, "Although I am a little tired, I have handled all the big and small matters in the palace. Thinking about it this way, I don't feel tired anymore!"

Ying'er said dissatisfiedly, "Those palace maids are really something! They are always flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. When Concubine Lan was helping the Queen to manage the six palaces, they didn't have so many things to do!"

"Now I just want to see if the queen is easy to talk to! I'll just pass all those messy things to the queen!"

Concubine Qing lowered her head and said, "Isn't this exactly my duty? When Concubine Lan was here, if something couldn't be handled, someone had to handle it."

Ying Erh complained, "Why is it the Empress? I heard that the Queen is idle and goes to the theatre all day, but the Empress is busy running around here!"

Concubine Qing said, "Okay, Ying'er, I will just take this as sharing the emperor's worries! The emperor is so busy that he can't take care of these trivial matters in the harem."

After hearing this, Ying'er felt that her own queen was too stupid! She said casually, "Your Majesty? I heard that the emperor was idle yesterday and stayed in Yufangzhai for most of the day! He also had dinner with Concubine Yu in the evening, and he sent something over early this morning!"

Concubine Qing lowered her head and wrote, and her hand could not help but pause for a moment...

Ying'er saw Concubine Qing suddenly lost in thought, and realized that she might have said something wrong, so she quickly said, "I just heard nonsense from others, don't take it to heart, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Qing smiled casually and said, "How could I take it to heart? Concubine Yu is pregnant and is getting older and older. It is only natural for the emperor to visit her more often."

Ying'er: "Hmm..."

Concubine Qing's eyes darkened, and she suddenly said, "By the way, when I finish the things on hand, go to the storehouse to get some things and accompany me to Yufangzhai! I wonder if the fruit I had last time suits Concubine Yu's appetite, and by the way, check on Concubine Yu's dragon fetus."

Ying Er said reluctantly, "Ah, but last time I just delivered the fruit and went to get something else..."

Concubine Qing urged, "Don't say buts, go quickly!"

Ying'er had no choice but to obey, "Well...well..."
