Zhen Huan had already guessed in her heart that Concubine Qi must be very angry. She went to Sui Yuxuan to get close to her just to take advantage of her popularity and have the opportunity to have more contact with the emperor.

"Let her go to the main hall and wait for me." Zhen Huan said calmly.

Afterwards, he continued to stroll around Yongshou Palace with Yu Rao, Liu Zhu and Cui Jinxi, with no intention of returning to the main hall to see Concubine Qi.

Yu Rao asked curiously, "Eldest sister, aren't you going to meet that noble lady Qi?"

"Let her wait. She came here uninvited and we don't know what her intentions are." Zhen Huan said to Yu Rao.

"Well, does elder sister dislike Concubine Qi?" Yu Rao asked while holding Zhen Huan's arm.

"You have a pretty clever little brain."

"This noble lady Qi is full of tricks. I have never had any friendship with her. As soon as she entered the palace, she used the fact that my father and her father worked in the same place as each other to get close to me. She is very scheming."

"So that's how it is. She took advantage of her favor to get close to the eldest sister. Has she ever planned to harm the eldest sister?" Yu Rao asked worriedly.

Zhen Huan smiled and shook her head: "How could I give her this opportunity? Don't worry. Oh, by the way, when you return home, you must remind your father to stay away from Guarjia Emin and not to listen to anything she says, lest you get killed."

"Okay, I understand." Yu Rao said obediently.

At this moment, Zhen Huan realized that she should write a letter to her father, asking him to be careful and take precautions as soon as possible.

Although Yu Rao didn't understand much about the affairs in the palace and the court, she felt that everything Zhen Huan said was right.

On the other hand, after Concubine Qi came to Zhen Huan's Yongshou Palace, she originally wanted to take a look around to see what it was like, and then ask the Emperor and the Empress to let her move to the Yongshou Palace.

However, the eunuch told her that Concubine Xi asked her to wait in the main hall. She originally wanted to go for a walk when no one was paying attention, but Xiao Yunzi immediately stepped forward to stop her and said, "Concubine Qi, my queen has ordered that no one is allowed to wander around Yongshou Palace without her consent."

When Concubine Qi heard this, she instantly flew into a rage. She gritted her teeth and said, "What did you say? You lowly slave."

"How dare you! How dare you be rude to me!" Jingtai, the maidservant of Concubine Qi, scolded.

"Oh, who was it? It turns out to be Sister Jingtai. How come you dare to be so rude in front of me now?" Xiao Yunzi sneered.

"You!" Jingtai was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Concubine Qi spoke out to stop them.

"When I meet with the Imperial Concubine Xi later, I will definitely sue you guys!"

She knew that this was Zhen Huan's territory and she couldn't act recklessly, otherwise she would be the one to suffer.

"Jingtai, let's go." After saying this, Concubine Qi walked towards the main hall of Yongshou Palace.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Qi waited in the main hall for two full hours before Zhen Huan came back.

Concubine Qi thought that she should have known not to come, so she had to sit here waiting alone for two hours. She originally came just to be polite, say hello, to get closer to Zhen Huan, and to see if there were any good palaces in Yongshou Palace for her to live in when the time comes.

Two hours later, Zhen Huan walked in with a smile, chatting and laughing with Yu Rao beside her.

This was particularly eye-catching in the eyes of Concubine Qi. She couldn't stand the deep affection between the sisters. In her eyes, every sister had her own calculations and it was impossible for them to not have any grudges.

"Your concubine greets Concubine Xi! I pay my respects to Concubine Xi!" Concubine Qi tried hard to suppress the resentment and dissatisfaction in her heart, and said with a smile like a flower.

"If I had known my sister was coming, I should have come earlier." Zhen Huan said politely.

Concubine Qi said with embarrassment: "Sister moved to Yongshou Palace today, and I didn't see her off. It was my fault, so I came here specially to apologize."

After Concubine Qi finished speaking, she turned to Jingtai beside her and ordered her to hand over the gift box in her hand.

Zhen Huan took the gift box and smiled, "My sister is so thoughtful." She did not open the gift box, but turned around and told Liu Zhu, "Send this generous gift to the warehouse."

Concubine Qi's smile froze on her face. She didn't expect that Zhen Huan would just have someone put it away without even looking at it.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave you now. Sister, please have a few more cups of tea before you leave." Zhen Huan still smiled and left the main hall with Yu Rao, leaving Concubine Qi standing there with a look of resentment on her face.

After Zhen Huan walked away, Jingtai said indignantly: "Master, this Concubine Xi is too disrespectful to you!"

Lady Qi gritted her teeth, a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes, "She is just proud for a moment, one day, I will let her know how powerful I am!"

Concubine Qi originally wanted to try to talk to Concubine Xi to see if she could help her talk to the Emperor and let her live in Yongshou Palace. But before she could even open her mouth, Zhen Huan said she had something to do and left.

She thought that she had been very polite and enthusiastic towards Zhen Huan since she entered the palace, and had never offended her in the slightest. However, she always felt that Zhen Huan seemed to be on guard against her, or perhaps disliked her a little. She really couldn't understand it.

Concubine Qi took Jingtai away from Yongshou Palace and returned to Suiyuxuan. She had to think carefully and find a backer. Concubine Xi was definitely unreliable. She thought of the Queen. When she first entered the palace, the Queen liked her very much, so it would definitely be right to rely on the Queen. Concubine Qi made up her mind.

After lunch, Yu Rao thought that after visiting Yongshou Palace in the morning, she wanted to go to the Imperial Garden, so she ran to Zhen Huan and said, "Sister, Hongluo and Lingxi have already gone to bed, can I go to the Imperial Garden?"

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "Of course you can, but remember you can only play around Yongshou Palace and not run too far. Wear more clothes when you go out, it's freezing outside."

Yu Rao said with joy, "Well, okay." She trotted and jumped out of Yongshou Palace with joy.

Originally, Zhen Huan arranged for a maid to follow Yu Rao, fearing that she would be worried if she went out alone. However, Yu Rao felt uncomfortable with someone following her, so she privately dismissed the maid and went to the Imperial Garden alone.

Last night, snowflakes fell like goose feathers, covering the entire palace.

This morning, just after dawn, a thick layer of white snow had already accumulated on the ground, as if the earth was covered with a white silver dress. On the palace road, the young eunuchs were already busy, holding bamboo brooms, vigorously sweeping the snow, clearing a clean path for the emperor and concubines to walk on.

It was already afternoon, and the center of the road to the palace was quite clean, with only snow piled up on both sides of the road.

In the Imperial Garden, plum blossoms stand proudly in the snow, with a subtle fragrance floating in the air. Plum blossoms are the only ones blooming in this season.

Yu Rao was wearing a red brocade cloak, which made her skin look as white as snow.
