Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Chapter 80 Order Hibiscus Cake

Yue'er could only nod and agree. In this harem, the palace maids had no choice at all. Their lives belonged to the master whose palace they were assigned to.

Yue'er could only pray in her heart that Shen Huachun would succeed today, otherwise her life would be in danger.

Zhonghe Palace

Lin Junxue is learning needlework from Guyu.

As the legitimate daughter of a first-rank general, Lin Junxue is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she does not know how to do needlework.

When she was in the mansion before, it was the maids who did it, so naturally the original owner didn't need to do it.

Actually, Lin Junxue didn't want to learn it either, but in three months, it would be Xie Yu's birthday, and she had to take the opportunity to improve her favorability, so she decided to sew a dragon-patterned belt herself.

So, recently, when she had nothing to do, she learned needlework from Guyu.

However, needlework is too difficult for a modern person like her. Every stitch and every thread is truly dazzling.

Qiao Xin walked in from outside and looked at Lin Junxue who was sitting on the couch, sewing and sighing.

"Your Majesty, Shen Guiji and Sun Shunyi are here and are waiting outside the door."

Recently, no one knows what's going on with Concubine Shen, she has been hanging around in Zhonghe Palace, coming here every day to try to get close to them. Today, she came with Sun Shunyi again.

If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Shen was pregnant with a dragon seed, why would Her Majesty take time out every day to accompany Concubine Shen and talk useless words to her?

Lin Junxue paused when she heard Qiao Xin's words, and put down her needlework.

She looked at the pattern she had just embroidered and could only describe it in four words: a mess, unbearable to look at.

Lin Junxue complained about her own cooking skills for two seconds, raised her eyes, and said calmly, "Please ask them to wait in the main hall."

Qiao Xin nodded and said, "I will let them in right away."

main hall

Shen Guiji looked at Sun Shunyi beside her.

If it weren't for the fact that Sun Shunyi was dull and well-known as a good person in the harem, I wouldn't have specially asked her to come to Zhonghe Palace.

Sun Shunyi was indeed very uncomfortable at the moment. She would not come to Zhonghe Palace except to pay her respects every day.

After all, this is the Queen's palace. How dare she, a mere concubine, come and disturb her often if she has nothing to do?

Today, Shen Guiji went to her in person and insisted on taking her to Zhonghe Palace so that she could have the opportunity to get close to the queen.

Normally, she would never have this opportunity. She only had this opportunity thanks to Shen Guiji.

Sun Shunyi whispered to Shen Guiji, "The Queen's bedroom is really different from before. Look at the vases on the table. They were tributed from Jiangnan last year. I heard that there is a pair of them. The Emperor didn't even give one to Concubine Xi, but gave it to the Queen. The Emperor really dotes on the Queen now. It's enviable."

Shen Huachun's gaze fell on the vase placed not far away, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

She didn't know the vase was so precious. She pretended not to care and said

"Of course, the Emperor dotes on the Empress, so of course all the good things go to the Empress."

Shen Huachun's words were meant for Qiao Xin who was standing not far away.

When Sun Shunyi saw Shen Huachun say it so loudly, she felt a little embarrassed and quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Shen Huachun smiled and said to Qiaoxin, "Aunt Qiaoxin, I wonder if the kitchen has made lotus cakes today. I came in a hurry today and haven't made any snacks yet."

Qiao Xin looked at Shen Huachun and nodded.

"Shen Guiji, since you want to eat lotus cake, I will ask the kitchen to prepare it."

Shen Huachun smiled happily and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Qiaoxin."

Sun Shunyi was very envious when she saw how familiar Shen Huachun was.

Since Shen Guiji was born with a dragon seed, she had the confidence to order the aunt in the Queen's palace around, and it was natural for her to do so.

When Qiao Xin went out, she happened to meet Lin Junxue and Danzhen who came in.

Qiao Xin told Shen Huachun about his request for lotus cake.

Lin Junxue nodded slightly and said, "Go to the small kitchen and keep an eye on it yourself."

Qiao Xin paused, then understood and said, "My Lady, I understand. Don't worry."

"The Queen has arrived"

Sun Shunyi quickly stood up and straightened her appearance.

The next second, Shen Huachun stood up slowly.

Lin Junxue came in with Danzhen.

"May the Queen be blessed with good health and happiness"

Lin Junxue smiled and waved her hand, "Get up."

The two stood up and waited for Lin Junxue to take her seat before sitting back down. As soon as they sat down, Shen Huachun smiled sweetly.

"Your Majesty, I am here to bother you again. I am craving for this lotus cake in your palace. Your Majesty, please don't despise me."

Sun Shunyi felt envious again. She didn't dare to say anything and could only sit there awkwardly.

Lin Junxue sat there, elegant and graceful, with her own aura, smiling slightly

"What are you talking about, Shen Guiji? It's just lotus cake. If you want to eat it, just use more."

Lin Junxue's attitude was not very warm. Shen Huachun looked at Lin Junxue's cold attitude and tightened his hands, feeling a little unnatural.

Sun Shunyi was standing nearby, secretly wondering, didn't everyone in the harem say that Shen Guiji and the Empress had a very good relationship? Shen Guiji would come to Zhonghe Palace every day to sit down, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Although Sun Shunyi had little presence in the harem, she was not stupid and she immediately realized that Shen Guiji wanted to get close to the queen. However, the queen had no such intention at all.

After seeing this clearly, Sun Shunyi no longer felt envious.

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Junxue did not look at Shen Huachun, but instead looked at Sun Shunyi, who had been silent and seemed a little uncomfortable.

Sun Shunyi was one of the few concubines who did not take advantage of the original owner's misfortune when she was under house arrest.

"Why is Sun Shunyi so free today?"

Sun Shunyi was a little surprised and felt flattered that the Queen took the initiative to talk to her.

She quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Shen Guiji who came to see me. I happened to have nothing to do, so I came here specially to bother you."

Lin Junxue curled her lips and looked at Sun Shunyi, who was still wearing the same style as last year.

"Sun Shunyi, if you have nothing to do, come to Zhonghe Palace. By the way, the Ministry of Internal Affairs received a batch of new materials two days ago. I think they are suitable for you. Tomorrow, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send them to you."

Sun Shunyi was stunned and moved. The Queen Mother probably realized that the material she was wearing was still from last year, so she asked the Imperial Household Department to send her new material this year.

Sun Shunyi said with gratitude, "Thank you very much, Queen, for your consideration."

Lin Junxue waved her hand.

"You are all old people in the palace, there is no need to be so polite, please sit down."

Shen Huachun watched Lin Junxue and Sun Shunyi getting along well, talking and laughing, and the Queen even rewarded Sun Shunyi, the unfavored new material of the year, and he felt very jealous.

She worked hard for more than half a month and came to Zhonghe Palace every day to please the queen, but the queen's attitude towards her was always cold and indifferent.

Sun Shunyi didn't say a word, but the queen was so warm to her.

Was the Queen targeting her on purpose? It must be because of the child in her belly.
