The palace has been making preparations recently. Next month is His Majesty's birthday ceremony, and it must be a lively event.
There is no queen in the harem, so most of the things in the harem are decided by her.
At this moment, looking at a room full of people coming to pay their respects, it really feels like an eyesore.
Sometimes I feel that it would be nice if I was the only woman in the harem. Normally I could lie to myself. But now looking at these nobles and beauties in front of me, I really feel uncomfortable all over.
"Qiao Guiren is still so impatient. It's not like we sisters don't know His Majesty's preferences. Everything is simple. You'd better not prepare precious and luxurious things like before. On the contrary, it will make His Majesty unhappy!"
Ning Guiren glanced at Qiao Guiren and said funny.
Otherwise, it would be a joke to say that some people's lives are a joke. They have a bad temper and don't have much brains at all. They are suitable for being a stepping stone!
"Why should Mr. Ning speak so harshly? After all, we are all on equal footing and have the same status. It's just that Your Majesty lets you manage the harem."
Qiao Guiren took a deep breath and tried his best to tell himself that he must endure it. He must endure it. He had suffered countless losses from Ning Guiren.
It was because of stepping on her that she caught His Majesty's attention. Sometimes she even hated her own temper. Why could she not be able to control her temper so much?
"We sisters didn't come here today just to quarrel. It's better for everyone to be harmonious."
Sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Pure Noble wanted to say something nice.
He said that he knew Qiao Gui had a bad temper, but he could feel that she didn't have many bad intentions. If the quarrel continued, she would definitely be the one to suffer.
"There's no need for you to come out and be a good person every time!"
Qiao Guiren pulled the handkerchief in her hand hard. It's not like she didn't know what kind of existence she was. No one liked her and everyone thought she was bad!
The noble man could only shake his head helplessly, not planning to say anything else. People really have to control their temper!
Many times the best thing is to just be patient. In fact, Qiao Guiren just has a bad temper, but he doesn't have that much thought at all.
Although Ning Guiren looked good, he could vaguely feel that there was something wrong with it.
But she is not a person who likes to be in the limelight. Many times, if it does not endanger herself, she will not meddle in others' affairs.
"The noble temperament has always been so gentle, but sometimes it is too unknown. Although His Majesty likes dignified and gentle women, he does not like people who are too unknown."
Ning Guiren took another look at Chun Guiren, but that was all about the others. She was the only one who had a really good temper. She didn't seem to fight or fight, but she was the only one who got her attention.
"If I am favored by His Majesty, then Ning Guiren must be the one who deserves it, and no one else dares to compare with him!"
The noble man lowered his head and smiled. In fact, as long as you do your own thing every day, it will be fine. There are not many people in the harem, so these jealousy things should not happen again.
What's more, His Majesty is not in good health and spends most of his energy dealing with government affairs every day. If they still have to worry about these things in the harem, then they are really sorry for His Majesty.
Ning Guiren looked away proudly. She really liked hearing these words. Whether it was sincere or sincere, at least she said it and she felt happy after saying it.
"I've been told this today, please step aside. I've also prepared some medicines and medicines to send to His Majesty!"
Ning Guiren said slowly, in fact, this is the biggest difference between him and them.
His Majesty doesn't have much interest in the harem, but he is the only one who can always be by his side, and the others can only watch helplessly.
So what if they both have the same noble status, the meaning is already different.
Chun Guiren looked at Ning Guiren's leaving figure with a little envy in his eyes.
She is not so lucky, nor does she dare to express her temper boldly. Even if she does something, she is afraid that others will know. As long as she knows it secretly, she will be fine.
"She is the most proud! She is the most lucky!"
Qiao Guiren was so angry that he seemed to be like this every time!
After all, when I was at home, I was a wealthy lady, and I had never suffered such grievances. After entering the palace, I could only guard an empty room alone every day, and Your Majesty would never step into the harem.
In fact, I have met His Majesty many times. His Majesty looks very handsome, but his body is very weak. He is extremely generous and kind to the people around him.
It's just a pity that I am not lucky enough to be by his side, because His Majesty doesn't like people like me either.
It's not like I don't know that Your Majesty likes dignified and gentle women like Ning Guiren, but everyone's temper is different and it has long been impossible to change.
She just can't help but get angry and can't control her temper.
"It is said that His Majesty likes dignified and gentle women. I feel that Pure Nobility is not bad at all, and his temper is even better than that of Ning Noble. Why can't His Majesty see you in his eyes?"
Looking at the pure nobleman sitting opposite him, Qiao nobleman did feel quite confused. In terms of appearance, he was indeed quite beautiful. Xiaojiabiyu was very delicate.
He is also gentle and courteous in his words and deeds, and sometimes I feel that he is easier to get along with than Ning Guiren.
If she were to step into His Majesty's eyes, she would probably manage the affairs of the harem. Maybe it would be better than the current situation, right?
Ning Guiren only seemed nice, but secretly he was very vindictive and always made her suffer intentionally or unintentionally.
"Qiao Guiren should stop talking nonsense. If Ning Guiren hears it, I'm afraid it will be a little bad!"
The pure noble man quickly looked at her and shook his head. He had not gone out yet. If he wanted to say anything, he would say it after he went out.
"The sun is shining brightly today. Why don't you, Lord Pure, come with me for a walk in the Royal Garden?"
"That's fine."
The pure noble smiled and nodded, and the other nobles and beauties went back. Only the two of them went to the imperial garden and walked around.
"Thank you for speaking for me just now. It seems that every time something happens, you are the one who speaks out. I always feel that Ning Guiren doesn't like you. Many times, he is clearly trying to embarrass you on purpose."
In fact, she didn't feel sorry for her, so these geniuses tried all kinds of ways to be favored. Even though he did something as stupid as going to Plum Garden, it turned out to be a big joke.
Now that I have come back to my senses, I feel as if I have been tricked. Fortunately, I was only seen by a palace maid. If it was seen by others, I don’t know what the spread would be like!
"Why do you say that?"
The pure noble asked casually. In fact, there are some things that they just know in their hearts and there is really no need to say them out.
This is a harem after all, and none of us are biological sisters. We all have our own selfish motives after all.
"Obviously we are all nobles, and logically speaking, we should all be treated the same way. Although Ning Guiren has gained His Majesty's favor and can manage the harem, her treatment is naturally better than ours.
Sometimes she talks about being frugal, but Ning Guiren is harsh on our treatment, but she herself is doing fine! Your Majesty has never paid attention to the affairs of the harem. His Majesty was not in good health, and we didn't want to cause such embarrassment, so we endured it. "
This is where Qiao Guiren really feels aggrieved. If Ning Guiren wants to be a good person, there is no problem, but he must step on them to be a good person, treating them as stepping stones!
The pure nobleman did not speak, which was regarded as acquiescence.
After all, the harem is a harem. Except for Ning Guiren, nobles and beauties like them will not see His Majesty many times.
Sometimes when you are sick, even a visit from the imperial doctor is so perfunctory, and the medicines given are only of average effect.
But fortunately, if Ayun from the medicine garden can help me a lot, I can get some medicinal materials from her if I have some minor illnesses.
What's more, most of the ingredients for the sugar pills I make every time are also taken from the medicine garden. Ayun is lively and cute at a young age, which is indeed very lovable.
"cough!"
A gust of cold wind blew, and the pure noble couldn't help but cough a few times.
I was infected with wind and cold a few days ago. Thanks to Ayun for giving me some good medicinal materials. Otherwise, the medicine left by the imperial doctor would have been so perfunctory, and I don’t know how long I will be sick.
When I went back, I still felt that I couldn't suppress the cough, so He Xiang hurriedly prepared the medicine and brought it over.
After the pure noble drank a bowl of medicine, he felt that his whole body was slowly getting warmer.
Although this medicine is bitter, it is also the most effective. The medicines in the medicine garden are all high-quality medicinal materials, which are much better than those casually fooled by the imperial doctors.
In fact, what Qiao Guiren said did have some truth to it. Ning Guiren wanted to be a good person, but it happened to be the ones who fooled them, stepping on them to gain face for himself.
Your Majesty is already weak and it is already difficult to deal with political affairs. It is better not to disturb the matters in the harem.
She thought like this time and time again. She was not a very powerful person and could not be of much help. As long as she did not cause trouble, she would be fine.
What's more, His Majesty is really happy to like the candy pills made by himself. This is the only thing he can do.
I know that the decoction is bitter, so I want to add a touch of sweetness to the bitterness. I make those pills one by one by myself.
He also asked Ayun to grind those medicinal herbs for concentration into powder and put them into sugar pills, which would also be of great benefit to His Majesty's health.
It doesn't matter even if His Majesty doesn't know that these are all made by himself, as long as he likes those sugar pills, as long as he can taste one or two pills every time after drinking the medicine.
"Actually, my servant thinks that Guiren Qiao is right. Your Majesty likes gentle and dignified women, but you are not bad either. They say Guiren Ning is good, but I don't think she is that good!"
Now that there were only two masters and servants in the room, He Xiang stood up boldly and said everything she wanted to say.
After all, the master has always had a good temper. If he hadn't made any big mistakes, he wouldn't have cared about it.
"Maybe it depends on the fate between people. His Majesty just likes Ning Guiren and just wants her to be by his side. What can other people do?"
Chun Guiren's eyes were a little lonely, but she actually really wanted to ask this question.
Why don't you like yourself?
But it doesn't matter, she just needs to do her part, and she doesn't need to be too pushy.
Being able to make sugar pills every day is the happiest thing, because it means that you are somewhat useful.
"Actually, Ning Guiren is generally quite good, but she is a little bit narrow-minded. But that doesn't matter, as long as she is good in front of His Majesty."
The pure nobleman put down the medicine bowl and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
Maybe Ning Guiren behaves like his true self in front of nobles and beauties like them. I always feel a bit mean every time. Maybe everything is fine in front of His Majesty.
In fact, what Qiao Guiren said is quite right. Many times, Ning Guiren is embarrassing them intentionally or unintentionally, and always makes them unhappy in these small things, but it doesn't happen easily.
"It's really unfair. Obviously you all have the same status, but why are your treatments so different? The last time we invited the imperial doctor, he made it clear that he didn't want to come!
When I went there, you looked at me. The medicine left behind was not a good medicine at all. Thanks to the medicine given by Miss Ayun! "
He Xiang frowned and defended his master.
There are many people in the harem who flatter the superiors and disdain the inferiors. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the one who should be fawned over the most is Ning Guiren, and the other people have become dispensable.
Even imperial doctors only follow the wind. If the sick person is from Ninggui, would they dare to leave behind those inferior medicines?
