"This is all thanks to the Queen. I was much better after being acupuncture from the Imperial Doctor yesterday." Concubine Xue sat down on the brocade stool where Ye Qingyan was standing.

As for the position opposite Ye Qingyan's couch, there was a five-clawed golden dragon cushion, which could only be seated by Xiao Changqi or the Empress Dowager. For example, Concubine Xue is not qualified yet, and even if she is asked to sit, she cannot sit according to the rules.

Ye Qingyan lay on the couch and asked the palace maid to prepare new refreshments. "Your Majesty also mentioned Concubine Xue's sister to me last night, and was very worried about her sister."

Thinking of Xiao Changqi, Concubine Xue showed the little woman's shame on her face, "Your Majesty is worried about it, it is my guilt."

"Sister, don't say that. However, we are all serving Your Majesty, and we must take care of our bodies more carefully."

"Yes, Empress, I understand that this kind of thing will definitely not happen again in the future." The smile on Concubine Xue showed a little unnatural. Thinking of her purpose of coming here, she said to her palace maid: "Get the things."

"Yes, Empress." Lingdang handed over the golden nanmu phoenix-patterned box held in her hand to Concubine Xue.

Concubine Xue opened the box—

It's a phoenix seal!

The bright yellow and clear gold and jade seal is a respectful phoenix with a square seal seat, and one corner is incomplete. This corner is recorded as a broken one by the founding queen of the Yan Dynasty. It was later broken and it was not filled with completeness.

"When the Empress was in good health, Your Majesty handed over the phoenix seal to me and ordered me to manage the harem with the Empress Dowager. Now the Empress has recovered and is well-off, so it is worthy of returning the phoenix seal."

Concubine Xue held the golden nanmu brocade box containing the phoenix seal and presented it to Ye Qingyan with both hands. Although she was a little reluctant to leave. It was not because she was greedy for power, but because the phoenix seal and His Majesty's dragon seal were a pair. With the phoenix seal, she could still imagine that she and him were a perfect match...

After Ye Qingyan took the brocade box, he put it on the couch without looking at it, "Okay, since my sister has delivered it, then my sister will accept it. If you have any problems in the future, come to me."

"Yes, I won't disturb the Empress." Concubine Xue stood up and said to leave.

Ye Qingyan looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, "If Sister Xue Fei is in good health, why not play a game with me?"

Ye Qingyan was the queen. What she said was second only to the concubines in the harem, and Concubine Xue could not refuse, but could only respond, "Yes, the queen, but I am just a poor chess. If there is something stupid, I hope you can forgive me."

"It's just playing chess, there are not so many rules. Concubine Xue likes Baizi or Heizi?"

"Baizi."

Outside the Hall of Qinzheng—

After sending Xiao Changqi the spring rain to roast sweet potatoes, he was stopped!

Gui held a thick stack of silver notes in his hand and said with a blushing face: "Well, this is my savings, I'll give it to you."

"Why do you have to give it to me?" Chunyu asked, while taking the silver notes and counting them silently.

"I, I..." Gui looked at her skillfully counting silver bills, nervously unable to speak.

The spring rain was counted quickly, "The total is 28,450 taels."

Then he stuffed the silver note back into Gui's hand, watching him rub his facial features and become flat for the sake of disguise, and he could not see his original face at all, "You are too poor!"

Gui: "..."

The spring rain bypassed him and continued to walk towards the Kunyuan Palace.

Gui hesitated for a moment, followed her again, stopped her, "I...I will keep the silver notes in your place."

Chunyu stopped, "Why should I save it here? I run a money house again."

"But... I... I'm going to perform a task, and there is no place to put these silver notes. You can keep them for me first. When I come back, you will return them to me." Gui finally found a reason.

"Task? What mission?" Chunyu asked.

Gui lowered his head, "I can't say..."

Chunyu looked at him, thought for a while, then stretched out her hand, "Give it to me."

"What?" Gui was stunned.

Chunyu: "...Silver notes, don't block the way if you don't want me to keep them."

Gui hurriedly gave Chunyu a stack of silver notes, "You...you hold it."

"Hmph, I'm so poor. According to your errand, it should be more than that? Did you drink wine?" Chunyu ordered the silver note again, and it didn't take a long time...

"No, I...I'm giving some money to others." Gui explained: "You also know that the tasks of our Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are often carried with our heads. One dies, and another one takes over them, but some of the dead have families. When he dies, his wife and children will have no pillars and cannot live. If I... If I know, I will give them a sum of money to seek other livelihoods."

Chunyu listened to his words and was silent for a while, "...Oh."

"Then I'll leave the palace first." Gui raised his hand and touched his head, which had no hair, "If I haven't come back, you can keep these silver notes yourself."

Chunyu looked at the silver notes and finally nodded, "Okay, I won't take yours for nothing. I will set you up a tomb."

Hearing this, Gui smiled, and his whole body suddenly became much clearer, "Thank you!"

"I'm sick in my head, and I said I'll give you a grave, but you'll thank you." Chunyu left with the silver note.

Gui looked at her slender back and smiled silly...

Until the spring rain went away, another member of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches flew to Gui and patted his shoulder, "I'm leaving, the beauty can no longer see it."

"Ren, did you hear that? She said she would set me up a tomb."

"...Well, she's right, you're really sick in your head!"

...

Zhuxiang Pavilion—

Liu Tianxin looked at his face carefully in the dressing mirror.

Apricot-core eyes, peach-hearted face, delicate nose, and a playful brown mole on the nose that you can never see if you don’t look carefully. The lips like petals are all delicate...

Her room was filled with rewards from the orchid feast. Especially the silk tribute brocade, which made her personal palace maid Caier very excited.

"Negotiable, these are all new colors this year, especially these two twill-patterned Gongyunjin, which only emerged this spring. I heard that only exists in the Qixiang Palace of Concubine Xue."

After Cai'er finished speaking, she found that Liu Tianxin ignored her and walked over, "What's wrong with the noble man?"

"My face..." Liu Tianxin looked at her face, "Do you think it looks good?"

"The noble man is very beautiful!" Caier said with great certainty: "Otherwise, how could that lord send you into the palace?"

"Until now, we don't know who that lord is." Liu Tianxin turned around and looked at the dazzling rewards... gradually a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.
