Yan Changqing told her about the current emperor's preferences and temperament, and that he had invited a nanny who was familiar with palace etiquette to teach her since she was still in Yuezhi.

His request was that when he needed it, Altai would tell the emperor what he wanted the emperor to know.

Altay couldn't refuse.

It was a good deal for both of them.

After she became a favorite concubine, she was able to survive in the harem.

Yan Changqing's secret support in the dark can provide effective help to her who has no support from her mother's family.

Yan Changqing placed a favorite concubine as a spy next to the emperor, which was a complete benefit with no harm.

Their cooperation proved to be successful.

If it weren't for Yan Changqing, when the emperor asked her what her wish was, she would definitely immediately ask the emperor to send troops to recover the occupied land of the Yuezhi Kingdom.

At that time, after she told Yan Changqing about this plan, Yan Changqing analyzed the pros and cons to her and taught her that she must first win the emperor's heart and then proceed slowly.

"Don't bring it up yourself, let the emperor bring it up through hints."

This was what Yan Changqing told her at the time, and she remembered it clearly.

However, Altay did not expect that during this process, she would fall in love with Yan Changqing.

I have calculated everything except my own heart.

In the darkness, listening to the emperor's long breathing beside her, she felt as if she was split in two.

Half of her is a princess of the Yuezhi Kingdom. She has to fulfill her duties as a princess in this deep palace where she has no relatives and is walking on thin ice.

Half of them are ordinary women who have to hide their love and are forced to commit themselves to others.

Fortunately, the emperor was a handsome and elegant man, not a rude person.

Her heart was in pain.

I don’t know how long it took before Altay fell into a deep sleep.

On the second day, before dawn and before the rooster crowed, the cold air was chilling to the bone.

The candles were lit, and the eunuchs walked into the Yuehua Palace holding the emperor's dragon robe.

It's time to attend the morning court.

Altay held his groggy head and helped the emperor wash and dress.

It was the first time for her to dress a man, and she was not familiar with Han Chinese clothing, so she seemed quite unfamiliar.

However, this unfamiliarity satisfied the emperor, and he said with a smile: "My beloved concubine, take a rest, and let them come."

Altay blushed, but became even more lovable.

Before leaving, the emperor touched her face and left a message: "I love to eat braised shark's fin. Ask the imperial kitchen to cook it and bring it to me tonight. Don't forget!"

It means he will come again at night.

This order made everyone in Yuehua Palace overjoyed.

After seeing the emperor off, Altay could not sit idle.

According to the rules, the new beauty favored by the emperor must go to Fengyang Palace the next day to pay her respects to the empress.

The first time Altay was favored by the emperor, he felt like his whole body was about to fall apart.

In addition, he didn't sleep well last night, so there were dark circles under his eyes and he looked a little haggard.

Muna felt sorry for her: "My lady, it's still early, why don't you lie down for a while and rest."

Altay shook his head.

Although the ruler of the Yuezhi Kingdom was not as good as the emperor of the Dajing Dynasty, he was able to have so many women.

But her mother was just one of the king's concubines.

She had been influenced by her family since she was a child and knew how to win a man's favor without any instruction.

She knows better how to avoid making enemies.

When she goes to meet the master of a palace, it doesn't matter if she looks haggard, but it would be a sin if she looks radiant.

"Please bathe and change my clothes for me. I am going to see the Queen."

Twilight.

The gatekeeper eunuch yawned and opened the door of Fengyang Palace.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw an unfamiliar concubine in full makeup, standing at the door in an orderly manner with her servants.

So early?

He was startled and hurried forward to greet him.

I took another secret look and saw the blue eyes. It was the foreign concubine that everyone in the harem was talking about yesterday.

What is she doing here so early?

"I will serve the Queen."

The young eunuch didn't know what to say.

Even if he came to pay his respects, it was too early. The Queen might not have woken up yet.

As a eunuch of the lowest rank, he was not qualified to know the Queen's daily routine, let alone inform her.

Seeing his embarrassment, Aletai smiled and said, "I will wait here. When the queen is ready, you can come to see me."

Yan Changqing told her that she had no conflict of interest with the Queen.

If possible, she could save herself a lot of trouble by relying on the queen.

She is here to surrender, so she should have a correct attitude.

Seeing her like this, the young eunuch invited her into Fengyang Palace and told the matter to the managing nanny.

After Empress Xie got up and finished washing, her trusted palace maid reported to her.

"He's quite a smart guy." Queen Xie said lightly.

"My lady, do you want to see me?"

Empress Xie glanced in the direction of the garden and said, "Since she wants my protection, let me see how sincere she is."

She originally just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers, but since Altay had this intention, recruiting her under his command would be a good choice.

It is common to form cliques in the harem.

Only she is high above.

She heard about what happened last night.

It seems that the emperor likes Altay very much, so we might as well go with the flow and win some favor from the emperor.

Empress Xie did not have to worry about the instability of her position as empress. She just wanted to firmly occupy a place in the emperor's heart.

So, when Empress Xie slowly finished her breakfast and saw Altay, her brows relaxed.

She had just asked Altai a few questions as the queen when concubines from the Fengyang Palace came to ask for a meeting.

Everyone knew that the emperor stayed overnight in Yuehua Palace yesterday, so they came to Fengyang Palace to find out what was going on.

Seeing that Altay's attitude was respectful and not frivolous, and that Empress Xie treated her gently, she gave up some of her thoughts.

After the party at Fengyang Palace dispersed, Empress Xie took her to Xining Palace.

The harem was peaceful.

In theory, she was just a newly appointed concubine, and Empress Xie was the master of the six palaces, so it would be enough for her to just meet her.

But Altai was a princess of the Yuezhi Kingdom.

The envoy from the Yuezhi Kingdom who delivered the letter of credence is still in the Honglu Temple and has not left yet.

The two men entered the Xining Palace, and the eunuch hurried forward to pay his respects and then hurried off to report.

While still outside the hall, I heard a burst of beautiful laughter coming from inside.

Empress Xie listened attentively, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she reminded Aletai: "It's Princess Leyang who is here."

The relationship between her and Qin Yaoguang has changed from cold to warm, from ignoring each other in the beginning, to her being used in the Plum Garden Incident, to now that Qin Yaoguang and the Xie family owe each other a favor.

Qin Yaoguang is the emperor's eldest sister. As long as she doesn't make mistakes, Empress Xie really wants to maintain a good relationship with her.

Princess Leyang?

Altay was startled and tried to collect his thoughts.

She is Yan Changqing's wife.

Altay had thought that this day would come, but he did not expect it to come so soon.

It turned out that on the second day after being favored by the emperor, she was going to meet the eldest princess in person.

Dragging his sore legs, Altay felt a little regretful.

In the morning, Muna should put on more heavy makeup to cover up her haggard look.
