This year's chrysanthemums seem to bloom particularly early. With the careful cultivation of gardeners in the palace, in August, the walkways and flower gardens around the Imperial Garden are already filled with various varieties of chrysanthemums, swaying in the cool autumn breeze, adding a bit of lively atmosphere to the coolness of early autumn.

The chrysanthemums are colorful and lively, as if they have nothing to do with this world. They are not very popular with Xu Shu, and they do not have the interest in enjoying them. They followed Madam Yuan all the way, but they were thinking about the purpose of the queen asking her to come here. She did not simply think that the queen was just asking her to enjoy the flowers. Appreciating flowers is an excuse, and doing other things in the name of enjoying flowers is the real thing.

The palace maids and waiters I met along the way saw Madam Yuan and her group, and they all stood respectfully on the side of the road with their heads down and avoided them. They didn't even dare to look up. Even the concubine with a low degree saw it, they hurriedly avoided them, for fear of hitting Xu Shu.

Madam Yuan smiled and said to Xu Shu, "Miss Jiu, have you seen it? It's the person who hurried back at the entrance of the corridor just now!"

Xu Shu nodded. Just now at the entrance of the corridor in front of the diagonally, there was a woman who looked like a concubine who had just emerged and hurriedly retreated.

"That was Xie Cairen, who was newly appointed by the emperor a few days ago. He was personally selected by the Empress Dowager. In addition to Li Meiren, Xie Cairen is the most favored by the emperor this month!"

A concubine who is favored but does not belong to the queen's faction, is so evasive when she sees the queen's family. It shows that she is afraid of the queen's power, fearing that she will offend her, or worrying that she will make things difficult for her by relying on her favor, so she avoids the choice.

"Miss Jiu, you are the queen's favorite niece. Now the queen is in a strong position. Everyone in the palace should respect Miss Jiu. Miss Jiu, you must know that you have today's status and treatment rely on the Queen! It's also in the palace. When you come to Yi Palace, you can only be a person who cannot see the light. In Kunning Palace, you are the highly respected Miss Zheng Jiu!"

"So I am particularly grateful to the Queen! Thank you for everything the Queen gave me!" Xu Shu replied with a sincere look.

"The more stable the Empress's position in the palace, Miss Jiu, your treatment will increase with the flow!"

How can we make the queen's status in the palace more stable?

"What the madam said is that the Zheng family and the Empress are one, and I still know the truth that one has a prosperous and one has a loss!"

Madam Yuan simply wanted to tell Xu Shu that all the preferential treatment Xu Shu received in the palace today was because of the queen. If Xu Shu wanted to enjoy such preferential treatment forever, she would have to help the queen consolidate her status.

Madam Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Jiu is a smart person. Since she has come out with me, she should be ready in her heart!"

Xu Shu didn't comment. She knew about it after following Madam Yuan, let alone she had no choice, right? Since there was no choice, Xiangqian was the only thing she could do. "Please tell us where we are going?"

Madam Yuan pointed forward, "The chrysanthemums are the most beautiful. Every day, the palace ladies in Cining Palace will pick fresh chrysanthemums there and put them in bottles. In the past few days, the eldest prince will cut the branches and go back to show his filial piety!"

It turned out to be for the eldest prince... Xu Shu understood.

On that day, she had never disappeared inexplicably. The eldest prince was confused but did not dare to make a fuss. In addition, the fire broke out in his heart. The eldest prince was forced to move into the Cining Palace. Under the nose of the Empress Dowager, the eldest prince did not dare to make a gambling game in front of the Empress Dowager even if he was itchy. So many days have passed, the eldest prince must have endured it and was about to go crazy. But he saw her at this time... What would the eldest prince who had never won the fun of his life do?

The eldest prince had seen her take off her eye-covering cloth belt. When he saw the eldest prince, he would definitely recognize him, but now he has become the queen's niece. The eldest prince had a lot of dissatisfaction with the queen because of the queen's pregnancy again. If the eldest prince knew that it was the queen who took him away, what would the eldest prince who was addicted to gambling do?

The queen asked Madam Yuan to accompany Xu Shu because everyone in the palace knew that Madam Yuan was the queen's confidant. When the eldest prince saw Madam Yuan, he would definitely think that the queen had taken Xu Shu away from Yigong...

Xu Shu is the last straw that the queen is preparing to crush the eldest prince’s sanity…

Her straw must also do her best to do her job as a straw... Xu Shu smiled softly, "I have been in the palace so many times, but I haven't invited the eldest prince yet. Why not guide the nanny and take me to see the eldest prince?"

It’s easy to be smart. It’s not unreasonable for the queen to value Miss Jiu. Madam Yuan bowed to her satisfaction and asked, “Miss Jiu is here!”

Xu Shu arrived at the place where Madam Yuan pointed, pretending to be leisurely enjoying the flowers and waiting for the eldest prince to arrive.

Sure enough, soon after, the group surrounded the eldest prince. Although it was the eldest prince who personally selected the chrysanthemums for the Empress Dowager to be filial, the one carrying the flower basket was the little palace maid, the one holding the flower-cutting scissors was the little eunuch, and the one who selected the suitable flower-cutting scissors. The eldest prince was only responsible for picking up the scissors and cutting scissors in the place designated by the gardener. In this way, he personally cut the flower-cutting branches for the Empress Dowager to be filial.

After the eldest prince was surrounded by people in gorgeous clothes, he saw Xu Shu standing next to the flowers at first glance. At first glance, he thought it was the emperor's concubine, so he didn't pay attention. But when he saw the second glance, he realized that the woman was the unmarried woman's hair bun, so he raised his chin and asked, "Who is that person?"

Today, a banquet was held in the palace, and many young women from noble families entered the palace. The eldest prince remembered that the Empress Dowager said that among the noble ladies who came to the banquet today, they would choose one of the outstanding noble ladies who were the eldest prince's concubines for him, so they became interested.

After looking up and down at Xu Shu's back, she saw that she was slender and the breeze blew, and she looked a bit wild and fairy-like. The eldest prince smacked his lips.

The eunuch beside him did not recognize Xu Shu, but looked at Madam Yuan next to him and based on the recent situation in the palace, he made a conclusion, "That should be Miss Zheng Jiu. She received the emperor's special order and often entered the palace to accompany the queen to raise her baby. Today, the palace was given a banquet. As Miss Zheng Jiu's identity, she was naturally invited!"

Thinking that since the queen became pregnant, he has been despised by all parties, and the people in the palace have not been close to him before, he has even been scolded by the emperor for this. If the queen really gave birth to a prince, there would probably be no place for him to stay in the palace... Thinking of this, the eldest prince felt very angry and was full of disgust for the people in front of him.
