In the next few days, everyone in the entire harem was extremely busy.

This palace banquet was said to be to welcome Sui Zhaoyi, who had just entered the palace, but in the eyes of everyone, this was also a rare opportunity to show her face in front of the emperor and let the emperor remember her.

For example, the clothes and makeup for attending the palace banquet are all very basic. What's more, they have even prepared in advance what expressions they should use to speak at the palace banquet in order to be endearing without being too pushy.

But Wei Huai'an didn't have much to do.

She just needs to give her body to the palace people and let the maids come.

On the night of the palace banquet, Wei Huaian walked slowly into the front hall of Weiyang Palace wearing a beautiful but heavy hair ornament.

However, as soon as he entered the front hall, he saw Liu Chongrong, whom he had not seen for a long time, standing in front of Sui Minghuan. He raised his chin slightly, glanced at Sui Minghuan up and down, and said in an arrogant tone: "Is this Sister Sui who just entered the palace?

It doesn’t look like he’s buried.”

Sui Minghuan in front of her was no longer as panicked as she was when she faced Concubine Yang Shu, and just smiled back without replying.

Wei Huaian guessed it was the same.

Sui Minghuan is probably not feeling well these days.

Sui Minghuan was the one who mainly organized the palace banquets, so naturally he had to communicate with the palace ladies in various palaces, but he ran into obstacles everywhere.

The palace people are smart, they don't take any explicit aim, but every time it is a very simple matter, they still have to vaguely pass the responsibility to someone from another palace.

In fact, the attitude of these palace people is also the attitude of the masters behind them.

But Sui Minghuan must have used some tricks.

Things got much better in the next few days.

But even so, Wei Huai'an guessed that Sui Minghuan would not offend Liu Chongrong like he deliberately offended Concubine Yang Shu before.

Firstly, making too many enemies is not conducive to him being able to mix in the harem; secondly, it is also because Jun Zeci himself is not around, so who can he show off to when no one is watching?

However, Wei Huaian felt that Sui Minghuan might have a bit of a provocative physique.

Like now, Sui Minghuan did not cause trouble intentionally, and Liu Chongrong still stood condescendingly in front of Sui Minghuan. He glanced at Sui Minghuan's clothes, disdain flashed in his eyes, and said with a chuckle: "I mean, sister, anyway

You are the protagonist of tonight’s palace banquet, why are you dressed so shabbily? You shouldn’t be. Hasn’t Anpinghou received many awards recently?”

Before Sui Minghuan had any reaction, the maid next to Liu Chongrong replied with a smile: "Mother, you don't know something. The life of being displaced among the people is difficult. How can people who have suffered hardships adapt to it all of a sudden?

Coming here?"

The palace people behind Liu Chongrong burst out laughing at the right moment.

Seeing more and more palace people looking over here, Sui Minghuan's face turned green and red, as if he was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.

Wei Huaian looked at this scene and felt that something was not right.

She knew Liu Chongrong.

Although Liu Chongrong is known to be of Yang Shufei's school, she is not as thoughtless in doing things as Yang Shufei, nor is she as showy and picky as she is now.

What she is doing now...

It was difficult not to make Wei Huaian wonder whether Liu Chongrong was planning something.

Wei Huaian stood not far away, signaling the palace attendants next to him not to make any noise, then touched his chin and continued to look thoughtfully.

I saw Liu Chongrong waving towards Yinghui. Yinghui understood what was going on and took out a folded and visible brocade woven garment from the hand of the maid on the side, and then unfolded it in front of everyone.

The people who were still whispering suddenly fell silent after seeing this gorgeous dress, and expressions of astonishment appeared on their faces.

When it is first unfolded, this gorgeous garment looks as soft as clouds. Under the light of the palace lanterns, the golden patterns on the garment are looming and gleaming. If you look closely, you can see that its edges outline undulating shapes, and the silver patterns of orchids reflect it.

Above, I can imagine that if a person puts it on, he will look like an immortal flying in the clouds and mist.

This dress...

Liu Chongrong must have spent a lot of money.

Everyone was amazed for a moment.

In the envious eyes of everyone, Liu Chongrong smiled slightly, looked down at Sui Minghuan, and said arrogantly: "Sister Sui, this is what we people should wear. Does your clothes deserve to be called clothes?"

Sui Minghuan rarely lost all expression on his face and looked at Liu Chongrong expressionlessly. Liu Chongrong might not be able to see Sui Minghuan's expression from that angle, but Wei Huai'an could clearly see the flash of joy in Sui Minghuan's dark pupils.

The haze that passed.

Seeing Sui Minghuan like this, Wei Huaian found it strange.

Sui Minghuan has always been either pretending to be innocent and bright, or being stubborn and tearful, but now she looks like the real herself.

It seems that Liu Chongrong's words touched her bad memories.

Liu Chongrong over there continued to sneer, picked up the clothes, approached Sui Minghuan, and said: "Sister, it's so shabby, so I'll let you touch it and see how it feels."

She forcefully pushed the clothes into Sui Minghuan's hands and said extremely arrogantly: "Sui Zhaoyi, you can help me put it away first. I will use this dress for a dance later. If anything happens,

You are the only one asking."

The people in the palace next to him laughed out loud.

Liu Chongrong obviously treated Sui Zhaoyi as a maid.

Sui Minghuan didn't say a word, she just tightened her hand holding the clothes slightly. Because she lowered her head, she couldn't see her expression clearly.

After a while, in the commotion mixed with sarcasm and laughter, she said in a tight voice: "...Yes, my sister will definitely take good care of her."

She said the last four words one by one.

This farce that I don’t know where to start ended with Liu Chongrong leaving in high spirits.

Wei Huaian passed by Sui Minghuan, who had already passed by, but heard a voice from behind calling her to stop.

"Queen, I have a favor to ask."

His slow footsteps paused, Wei Huaian turned slightly sideways, looked at Sui Minghuan in front of him, as if nothing had happened just now, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"

Sui Minghuan looked at Wei Huai'an's usual careless smile, and suddenly felt a little unsure.

She knew Wei Huaian was nearby.

So many of the expressions just now were actually performed by her for Wei Huaian.

Generally speaking, after seeing her current "tragic situation", normal empathetic people will help her as much as possible out of sympathy, even if they may not agree to everything.

But the person in front of him was Wei Huaian, and Sui Minghuan himself was not sure whether Wei Huaian would see through his plan, just like before.

But now that we are here, we can only take risks.

Sui Minghuan bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "Empress, concubine... I have something to do. Can you help me take care of Liu Chongrong's clothes first?"

Hearing this, Wei Huai'an didn't seem surprised, as if he had guessed her plan again. Sui Minghuan rarely gets nervous about one thing, but she has always been surprised by Wei Huai'an's actions since she entered the palace.

Just when Sui Minghuan was about to give up, Wei Huaian agreed with great interest: "Okay, I am the most considerate and helpful person."

In a situation like this where everyone seems to have their own little plans, how can their names be missing?

Sui Minghuan: "..." I think you have a wrong understanding of "being considerate and helpful".
