The next day, Zhen Huan, Ling Rong and Meizhuang entered the palace at the same time, and the three of them were assigned to different palaces.An Lingrong, the lowest-ranking nobleman, had the misfortune to live in the Yanxi Palace with the domineering Chang Zai Xia Dongchun and the Fucha nobleman from the Manchu Army Banner; Meizhuang, as a nobleman with a higher status, lived in the magnificent Xianfu Palace.Living with the emperor's old friend Jingbi when he was in the palace; Zhen Huan and Chun Changzai, who was born in Mengjunqi, moved into the remote Suiyuxuan. Zhen Huan privately warned Liu Zhu and Huanbi to be careful and not to make any mistakes.
In the Yanxi Palace, Xia Dongchun relied on Chang Zai's status to bully Lingrong in every possible way, but Lingrong tolerated humiliation and refused to compete with him.The queen ordered people to reward the new young masters with silks, satin, jewelry and other items.Lingrong came to visit Zhen Huan and Meizhuang, and the three sisters agreed to support each other and hug each other in the future.Three days after entering the palace, the beautiful ladies had to meet the queen. Zhen Huan and Meizhuang deliberately kept a low profile to avoid arousing the jealousy of Concubine Hua.Concubine Hua deliberately made things difficult for the newcomers, making them unable to kneel down, while she chatted with the queen. The queen gave Concubine Hua enough face to get the newcomers to stand up at the right time, winning everyone's respect.
Meizhuang and Zhen Huan praised Concubine Hua's temperament and virtue, and at the same time praised the queen, winning her favor.Xia Dongchun didn't know that Concubine Hua was powerful, so she deliberately emphasized that the material for the clothes was given by the queen, which made Concubine Hua more sure that she belonged to the queen's party.Zhen Huan, Ling Rong and Meizhuang had a dispute with Xia Dongchun on the way back. When Xia Dongchun was about to attack Ling Rong, Concubine Hua killed a chicken to scare the monkeys in order to establish her prestige, and rewarded Xia Dongchun for being tortured in the palace.
Zhen Huan and the other three were so frightened that they fled to the Imperial Garden and were horrified to find the dead body in the well.The queen learned that Fuzi, the maid she sent to Concubine Hua, was killed in the well. She also heard that Xia Dongchun was given a red gift of 10 feet and became disabled and was thrown into the cold palace. She understood that Concubine Hua was secretly competing with her.
