"Cai Xing, did anyone come here yesterday? Who boiled the medicine on this table?" Shen Meimei rubbed her head and asked puzzledly.

Cai Xing covered her mouth and laughed. She said embarrassedly:

"My lady, do you really not remember anything? Yesterday, my lady drank alone, and it was Doctor Wen who took care of her. The hangover soup on the table was also freshly cooked by Doctor Wen. I think Doctor Wen is really good to my lady!"

When Shen Meimei heard that it was Doctor Wen, she tried hard to think about what happened yesterday, but unfortunately her head was like a piece of wood and she couldn't remember anything.

Fortunately, Doctor Wen is now a eunuch, so even with his care, no scandals will arise.

In March of the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign, although it was already spring, the weather was unusually cold, seemingly even colder than winter.

There are no important festivals at the moment, and Prince Guo does not often go to the palace. What should we do?

Shen Meimei thought for a long time and finally remembered someone, Concubine Ning Ye Lanyi.

A woman who deeply loves Prince Guo, she can do anything for Prince Guo.

On this day, Shen Meimei took a heater, put on a fur coat, and prepared to go to Chunxi Palace to visit Concubine Ning.

Although they all lived in the same palace, since the empress was confined to her palace, there was no longer a rule of morning and evening visits to the queen, and the concubines had even fewer opportunities to meet each other.

Shen Meimei went to Yongshou Palace several times but was turned back by Jinxi every time.

No matter how good-tempered she was, after being ignored by Zhen Huan several times, she lost her patience and was no longer willing to put up with the cold shoulder.

Caixing supported Shen Meimei, and Caiyue led the way. The weather was cold, and most of the concubines hid in their own palaces and were unwilling to come out.

After walking for an incense stick of time, Shen Meimei finally arrived at Chunxi Palace, a very remote place.

Before Caixing could knock on the door, the palace gate creaked open and Ye Lanyi, wearing green clothes, stood at the door holding a cat.

When she saw that it was Shen Meimei, she felt strange, bowed disrespectfully, and said very reluctantly:

"I pay my respects to Concubine Hui, may your majesty live long and healthy! I wonder why you came to my Chunxi Palace? Normally, I don't have much contact with you!"

Shen Meimei smiled slightly. She looked at the rebellious Ye Lanyi. Although she didn't like her attitude, she didn't care when she thought that she treated everyone like this.

"Lady Ning, I came all the way here to ask for a glass of water. Why? You didn't even let me sit inside. Instead, you made me stand at the door. Is this the way you treat guests at Chunxi Palace?"

Shen Meimei said deliberately. She didn't want to stand at the door and be blown by the cold wind. The key point was that the door was not the place to discuss things.

Ye Lanyi had no choice but to make way and saluted:

"Please come in and have some tea, Concubine Hui. Please don't blame me if I haven't treated you well enough. Chunxi Hall is remote, and I don't like drinking tea, so I don't have any expensive tea to treat you. Please forgive me!"

Shen Meimei was walking in front. She saw some albizzia trees planted in the yard. The weather was too cold and the trees were bare, looking very desolate.

The Albizia julibrissin, which is named Night-Ballis because it blooms during the day and closes at night, is an ornamental plant.

Ye Lanyi likes the cassia tree because Prince Guo likes it, and he loves the flowers because of his love for them.

Entering the main hall of Chunxi Hall, Ye Lanyi held the cat and her attitude was a little better than before. She invited Shen Meimei to take a seat and said with a smile:

"Empress Hui, I wonder why you are visiting today?"

Shen Meimei originally wanted to talk about it in a roundabout way, but Ye Lanyi was straightforward, so she decided to just get straight to the point.

So she asked Ye Lanyi to dismiss the people around her and said softly:

"Lady Ning, your heart has never been in the palace, right?"

When Ye Lanyi heard this, she was immediately frightened. She looked a little nervous and hid one hand behind her back and took out a dagger.

If Concubine Hui in front of her said something treasonous, she would be doomed to fail.
