Chapter 74 - Women Most Know Women

Her hair was tied up in a pair of coils, and there was a silver hairpin with a golden dragon tattoo on the side of her head.

I feel sorry for you when I see you.

"concubine, how is it?" Greensnow put down the wooden brush in her hand to cheer her on.

Qin Luofei looked at herself in the mirror, and how much more beautiful she was than usual. She could not help but nod in satisfaction, "Your cooking skills, suits my heart."

Greensnow felt that her beauty was easy to serve and her personality was tactful. She was truly fortunate and worried about Lv Ying. She had been too presumptuous towards the Empress in the past.

When Qin Luofei walked out of the Warm Pavilion, Li mama saw his and couldn't help but secretly praise his.

Although she was not as beautiful as the Imperial Consort Leng, she was still young and had delicate skin. Even if she looked at her, she felt a bit more pity for her.

The two of them left the palace without making a sedan.

The empress dowager normally didn't like the fact that the palace concubines were too extravagant, so concubines didn't dare to use the palanquin on their own and could only walk on their own.

Along the way, they met a few concubine s. Seeing the newly conferred Concubine Qin s walking together with the Li mama s in the empress dowager's palace, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Qin Luofei only did what she didn't know. If she wanted to do it alone, it wouldn't be that easy.

It was early summer and the empress dowager's courtyard was filled with green and verdant flowers. Because of the eunuchs' meticulous care, some of the flowers had already bloomed in full bloom.

But the most common kind was peony, and even the pavilion next to hers was carved with peony blossoms.

Peony represented the head of a palace in the harem, and no one but the Empress Mother and Queen dared to embroider peonies on their clothes, let alone to display peonies in their apartments.

With the maid opening the curtain, before Qin Luofei could even enter the empress dowager's bedroom, she smelt a scent of herbal medicine. It was so strong that it couldn't even cover up the fragrance of good Nanmu incense.

Qin Luofei couldn't help but press her nose, guessing that the empress dowager might be ill. Judging from the strong medicinal smell, this illness must be quite severe.

Qin Luofei straightened her clothes to see if Zhou Zheng was right.

This empress dowager was even harder to deal with than the emperor. There were many ways for the emperor to accommodate her, but the empress dowager couldn't do anything about it.

If a woman doesn't like you, any move you make will be courting death.

If she didn't like you, then she didn't like you. Even if you were beautiful and beautiful, maybe she didn't like you.

The method of dealing with men could never be used against women of the same kind.

A man would be confused by a woman's words and appearance, but a woman was someone who understood the contents of another woman's soul.

The only one who could see a woman's true appearance was definitely a woman.

There was no doubt about this.

Qin Luofei respectfully followed the Li mama's guidance and walked in. She only felt that the room was dark and didn't dare to raise her head. She only respectfully bowed. "Greetings to the empress dowager."

After a long time, when Qin Luofei's knees were sore, she heard a voice from above, "Forget it."

Only then did Qin Luofei raise her head. She saw the empress dowager leaning on a golden pillow filled with peony petals with a gloomy expression.

He had also packed up very simply. He only wore a five-colored, sleeved golden and silver Luan with phoenixes facing off against each other, revealing the apricot-yellow underlining underneath. On his feet were complicated patterns of five-colored peony and dragon pattern embroidered shoes.

Next to the couch was a small table made of honeysuckle, with fruit and pastries in season on it.

There was no one else in the room but the Empress Dowager himself, but his face was ruddy and lustrous, and he did not seem to be ill.

Qin Luofei slightly raised her eyes.

With a young eunuch bringing over supplements, Li mama quickly received them and fed them to the empress dowager.

Where was Qin Luofei? Although the empress dowager had allowed her to stand, she didn't grant her a seat, so she could only stand.

The empress dowager just sipped the soup without raising her eyes. Qin Luofei didn't raise her eyebrows, but stood there orderly.

The empress dowager finally finished the soup, her hand holding the kernels as she wiped the corner of her lips.

"A child with rules, do it!" A palace maid brought a stool over and Qin Luofei sat down.

"Thank you for giving me a seat, empress dowager."

The empress dowager lazily leaned against the pillow before saying, "It wasn't anything major that This Dowager called you over, just that your sister's sickness is quite serious. You should go take a look."

Qin Luofei rose to her feet and bowed. "Thank you for the empress dowager's favor."

Her Majesty waved her hand and closed her eyes.

The Second Princess lived on the west side of the empress dowager's palace, in a separate palace courtyard.

Li mama accompanied Qin Luofei to the entrance of the courtyard, stopped in his tracks, and said neither cold nor indifferent, "This old servant will not accompany Concubine Qin there, this old servant still needs to return and serve the empress dowager."

"Thank you, Li mama." Qin Luofei watched as the Li mama returned to the empress dowager's chambers before she turned around.

A delicate and pretty maid was carrying a bowl of tonic towards the house. When he saw Qin Luofei stop in her tracks, he looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Second Princess, are you there?" Qin Luofei slowly walked over. Seeing that the maid's appearance was still considered normal, her face showed kindness. He knew that the empress dowager had put her heart into this older sister.

maid opened the curtain and laughed: "Your highness is … I would like to inform the Princess. "

"I am the consort's younger sister, Concubine Qin, I have come to see her."

When maid heard Qin Luofei say that he was his princess wife's sister, his expression couldn't help but become gentler, and he hurriedly said, "concubine, please. The princess was just talking about concubine a few days ago and knew that he had entered the palace, so she kept nagging."

Qin Luofei had been sending silver taels to the Second Princess's palace nonstop these past few months. It was likely that this maid was someone close to the wangfei and would definitely know about it.

Qin Luofei entered the house. The house was not big, but it was tidied up quite neatly. The sunlight was just right, shining on the gauze covering the house, adding to her fantasy.

The Second Princess leaned against the Consort bed that was sitting to the south of the house, and closed his eyes to sleep.

When the purple butterfly pattern on her clothes fell onto the bed, Qin Luofei lightly walked over, picked up the clothes, and once again covered the imperial concubine's body.

Just as maid wanted to speak, he was stopped by Qin Luofei.

Qin Luofei had become a bed. Seeing Second Princess, her complexion was much better than last time, her cheeks had gained more flesh, and her clothes were also much brighter.

Qin Luofei saw that the short one beside her had an unfixed dress train ribbon on it. It was bright in color, had delicate stitches, and was first-rate in terms of handiwork.

She did not expect the workmanship of this Second Princess to be so good.

While the maid was busy doing this, Qin Luofei was carefully embroidering according to the pattern of her embroidery.

After a few minutes of brewing tea, the Second Princess of the bed slowly opened his eyes. He saw his younger sister, who was sitting beside him, seriously embroidering the embroidery he had placed on the short table.

When she entered the palace, her little sister was still a little kid. Who would have thought that she was now the emperor's concubine as well, yet she still took care of her so seriously. On the contrary, this big sister of hers was unable to help her in any way.

"Princess." Seeing that the wangfei had woken up, the maid spoke out.

Qin Luofei put down the embroidery in her hands and raised her head. She saw her elder sister looking at her with a gentle expression, and the faint smile on her lips was like a blossoming summer flower, causing her to feel a sense of warmth.

"Elder sister, you're awake." Qin Luofei did not call him Second Princess, but instead called him Big Sis based on this body's memories.

Sure enough, Second Princess's eyes immediately became moist. He nodded slightly and said to maid, "Quickly go and bring some chrysanthemum water for little sister to drink."

Qin Luofei stretched out her arm to support Second Princess's body.

Although Second Princess was treated by the royal doctors, his body was still severely injured. He wouldn't recover in a short while, and would still need to rest in bed everyday.

"Elder sister, you've recovered." Qin Luofei took out the Orchid kernels s from her sleeve and carefully wiped off the sweat on Second Princess's forehead.

He knew that her body wasn't in a good condition yet. Otherwise, she wouldn't be sweating so much.

Qin Luofei once again reached out her finger and placed it on Second Princess's pulse. She couldn't help but frown as she thought she made a mistake, and carefully pressed down Second Princess's pulse. Her face couldn't help but become gloomy.

Second Princess's pulse was depressed and weak, it was actually a symptom of being poisoned, how is this possible?

Last time, when he went to see her, he didn't notice that she was poisoned. How could she be poisoned now?

"Sister, is there something wrong?" Second Princess saw that his sister was frowning, it must be something bad.

Qin Luofei took the opportunity when maid was out of the room to speak in a low voice, "Why do I feel like elder sister has signs of being poisoned?"

Second Princess seemed to know this result and retracted his hand. He said indifferently: "Those who die in the end will only die early and late."

"Elder sister." Qin Luofei looked at Second Princess secretly as if she knew who had poisoned him. She was not surprised, but who could it be?

Second Princess held Qin Luofei's hand instead and said, "Little Sister, I heard that you were recruited by the Emperor to serve as a servant.

Qin Luofei knew that the women in the palace only hoped for these things, but she couldn't tell her about her own matters.

She no longer had anything to lament about the Emperor.

The Second Princess gave a slight cough and said, "Where did you go to the empress dowager's place? "What does she have to say to you?"

Qin Luofei shook her head and said, "I don't have anything to say, I'm just here to take a look at elder sister."

Second Princess reached out his hand and grabbed Qin Luofei's finger. He sighed lightly and said, "Empress Dowager, you've taken a fancy to little sister. Is little sister willing to be used by this old woman."

Qin Luofei was startled upon hearing Second Princess's words, and asked: "Elder sister, what do you mean by that?"

"Empress Dowager, I want you to compete for the favor of Imperial Consort Leng and snatch the Emperor from him." Second Princess looked straight at Qin Luofei.

Qin Luofei slowly withdrew her hand from Second Princess's palm, smiled lightly, and said: "I'm afraid little sister doesn't have the ability to do that."

Second Princess's face showed disappointment.

Qin Luofei was already slightly infuriated in her heart. She pitied this elder sister so much, but this elder sister wanted to sacrifice her in order to fulfill her position in the empress dowager's heart.

Qin Luofei took out a few silver notes from her sleeve and placed them on top of the short ones. With a cold expression, she stood up.

"Since little sister suddenly remembered that she had other things to do, then she won't accompany big sister in easing her depression."

"Sister." Second Princess watched as Qin Luo Fei left the house without looking back.
