"Concubine Yi, greetings! Sorry for not being able to welcome you." Looking at Concubine Yi, Ning Sicai stepped forward with a smile.
Concubine Yi didn't come to her senses until she heard the Ning Sicai' voice.
She looked at Ning Sicai with a big smile on her face, and said, "what are you talking about, my dear sister? I heard that you were conferred the title of Zhaoyi, so I'm here to present my gift to you." As Concubine Yi spoke, she asked a servant to send the gift to Ning Sicai.
Without any hesitation, Ning Sicai accepted the gift and then invited her to the room.
Concubine Yi looked at the decorations in the Xianyin Palace and became more jealous of her. It was decorated so luxuriously, even more luxurious than her palace. But why a mere Zhaoyi could live in such a palace?
Ning Sicai had seen all of the expressions of Concubine Yi without being noticed.
It seemed that the imperial concubine was right. Concubine Yi was not good at hiding her feelings, and she was easy to be taken advantage of. So Concubine Yi came all the way here to draw Zhaoyi over to her side, or to help her defeat Xuanyuan Yvfan.
''Sister, your palace is great." Concubine Yi said peacefully as she looked at Ning Sicai.
Ning Sicai didn't care about the contempt in Concubine Yi's words. She said with a smile, "His Majesty told me that all the concubines living here are dead mysteriously. That's why I was allowed to live here."
Hearing Ning Sicai's words, Concubine Yi felt relieved. It seemed that even though the emperor favored Ning Sicai, it didn't mean that he would keep spoiling her. That was why she was allowed to live in the Xianyin Palace.
"Sister, we both know clearly that the emperor only cares about the imperial concubine. If I want to have a foothold in the harem, you should be the only one I can turn to."
Hearing Ning Sicai's words, Concubine Yi was overjoyed. She had come here today to test whether Ning Sicai could help her, but she hadn't expected that Ning Sicai had made such a request.
But even if she was very happy, she pretended to be calm.
Even so, Ning Sicai still saw through her thoughts.
"Sister, what do you think? I just want to find someone to back me up. After all, the selection show will begin after the new year, and I'm already old, not a match for those new comers. By then... " Ning Sicai said with a smile.
Hearing this, Concubine Yi nodded calmly, "I'm not an unreasonable person. After all, it's the imperial concubine's fault. If everyone is as easygoing as I am, you won't be alone in the harem."
Upon hearing Concubine Yi's self boast, Ning Sicai frowned. It was true that the imperial concubine had little help in the imperial household, but the imperial concubine despised it at all. That was because Emperor Hongjia was her best backup. On the other hand, was there anyone more powerful than him in the harem?
"You are right, sister. You are the only person in the world who would deliver any gift to me." Ning Sicai looked at Concubine Yi with a gentle smile, as if she had agreed with everything that Concubine Yi said.
