Relying on Food Chapter 4 Part 1: Kunning Palace

Wan Anran bragged about Xuan Pin.

As Haitao was listening to her, she was secretly puzzled. If she had seen Xuan Pin paying respects to Empress Niohuru in Kunning Palace, she might knew why Xuan Pin was satisfied with Wan Daying.

When the Empress mentioned the New Year's arrangements, every concubine’s eyes lit up. The rear palace was a lonely place, and everyone was looking forward to watching operas and listening to music during the New Year celebration. In addition, the Emperor was busy dealing with the revolt of the three feudatories and rarely visited the harem recently, so the New Year was the best time to meet him.

The only exception was Xuan Pin who was sitting at the back.

She was just like Wan Anran who had come to pay her respects just now. Xuan Pin lowered her head and kept her gaze fixed on the bowl of tea in front of her, letting the words of the concubines in the hall enter from one ear and out from the other.

Anyway, the emperor's favor is none of her business.

Only after hearing the list of people attending the banquet in Xianfu Palace did Xuan Pin stand up and respond to the request.

After talking about some arrangements, the topic quickly turned to other things - usually the protagonist of the morning and evening visit was the Empress. An Pin, Jing Pin, Duan Pin... and the others would take turns talking to the Empress.

For example, An Pin smiled and covered her lips, "This morning, I saw a magpie chirping, and sure enough, Empress' face looked two points better than usual."

Xuan Pin rolled her eyes secretly.

The Empress' makeup is three times thicker than usual, clearly due to overwork, so she applied more powder to cover up her complexion.

For example, Jing Pin would say, "The tea and snacks here are much more delicious than those in my palace. The Empress really knows how to please the palace maids."

Xuan Pin couldn't help but roll her eyes again.

Wow! There were five pieces of snacks on your plate, and there are still five pieces on it. Are you eating air?

Xuan Pin shook her head secretly.

Seeing Empress Niohuru's unchanged smile, she could only admire her. After flattering the Empress, it was then her turn to attack the concubine who had been favored the day before.

For example, Tong Guifei who had been favored the day before.

Unlike Empress Niohuru who would give people some face, Tong Guifei, whose personality was naturally cold, took people's sarcasm and ridicule indifferently. She didn't even glance at them and just responded with "hehe" most of the time.

When faced with such a situation, some concubines inevitably felt like clowns.

For example, Yi Pin felt very uncomfortable.

But Tong Guifei was as prickly as a hedgehog, and she had no idea where to start. She happened to see Xuan Pin who was in a trance, and her brain immediately moved: "Sister Xuan, I heard that Wan Daying in your palace...has recovered from her illness?"

After Participating in Intern Parents Variety Show with Movie Empress Mother Chapter 1 Part 2 An An Has Dreamed about This Auntie "Kid, do you know what kind of program this is?" The staff of the show sat next to An An and said softly. Sitting in the corner, An An blinked, and her little hands gently tugged at the corner of her clothes. She wanted to speak but didn't dare to make a sound. An An knew that her teacher wanted to let her go on TV. There was a time slot for entertainment in the daily schedule of the orphanage, and watching cartoons in the multimedia room after lunch every Tuesday and Friday was the most anticipated activity for all the children.

An An nodded, her milky voice was soft, "An adventure program." Advent
