Chapter 526 Opportunity
The secret conversation between the wife of Marquis Wu'an and Concubine Liu slowly unfolded in the depths of the palace.

Concubine Liu's eyes were deep, as if she was thinking about something. She whispered to the wife of Marquis Wu'an, "I heard that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were very angry about Xiao Yunxi's expedition. Is this true?"

The wife of Marquis Wu'an nodded slightly and responded in a low voice: "Your Majesty is very observant. Everyone in the palace knows about this. The emperor was furious about this, and even the servants in the palace were not spared."

Concubine Liu raised her lips slightly, revealing a hint of barely perceptible pride: "This news is a great opportunity."

She had already figured out how to use this news to consolidate her position.

Madam Wu'an knew Princess Liu's thoughts very well. She said softly, "Your Majesty is very intelligent. You will definitely be able to take this opportunity to share the emperor's worries."

Concubine Liu gently stroked the gifts on the table, with a sly look in her eyes: "These gifts are carefully selected, I'm sure the emperor will like them."

The two smiled at each other, understanding each other. The wife of Marquis Wu'an stood up to say goodbye, and Concubine Liu began to carefully prepare her next plan.

After leaving the palace, the wife of Marquis Wu'an and her daughter Zhao Songnuan walked back to the mansion. Zhao Songnuan asked with some concern: "Mother, if this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid that the queen will be implicated."

Madam Wu'an Marquis smiled calmly: "Don't worry, Concubine Liu knows how to act. Even if something goes wrong, it can't be blamed on us."

Zhao Songnuan nodded, feeling a little relieved.

She knew that her mother was a very sensible person and would not easily put herself in danger.

After returning to the palace, Concubine Liu immediately ordered people to count the gifts one by one, and nodded with satisfaction: "These gifts took a lot of thought, I should be able to manage them in the palace for a while."

She opened a box of Shu brocade, stroked its delicate texture, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "This Shu brocade is a rare and good thing. Since she wants something from me, she should show some sincerity." Then, she ordered the maid to cook a bowl of ginseng, red dates and fish maw porridge, and prepare to send it to the imperial study after the emperor left the court.

Although concubines in the harem are generally not allowed to enter the imperial study, the emperor will rest in the study for half an hour after leaving court. Some concubines will wait for the right opportunity to show their faces and find opportunities to demonstrate their virtues in front of the emperor.

Concubine Liu had sent many gifts before.

However, the emperor did not seem to appreciate Concubine Liu's feelings.

Every time Concubine Liu sent the stew, he sent it back with various reasons. Although Concubine Liu was dissatisfied, she could do nothing about it.

She knew that although she held a high position, she was not favored by the emperor.

However, this incident may make the emperor look at her with new eyes.

Concubine Liu secretly swore in her heart that she must seize this opportunity to improve her status in the emperor's heart and enjoy unlimited honor and favor.

After learning of Concubine Liu's plan, Lady Wu'an Marquis did not interfere any further.

She knew that Concubine Liu was a resourceful woman. Since she had decided to do this, she would definitely find a way to achieve her goal. She only needed to wait and see what happened.

In this way, a battle for power and status quietly unfolded in the harem. Concubine Liu and the wife of Marquis Wu'an joined forces, trying to use the conflict between the emperor and the Empress Dowager to achieve their own goals.

In this contest, it is still unknown who will be the final winner.
