Deep in the palace of the Weave Cloud Dynasty, the spring sunlight filtered through the gauzy curtains, casting a serene glow on the exquisite glazed tiles. Yet beneath this tranquility, a hidden current surged. The machinations of Noble Consort Yin Ye were gradually coming to light, prompting Hua Xiu and Consort Liu, two delicate flowers in the palace, to begin their counterattack. 0
 
One day, Hua Xiu sat in her chamber, delicately sipping a cup of fragrant tea, her brow furrowed in deep thought over Noble Consort's schemes. At that moment, Consort Liu entered with a graceful step, her countenance serene yet with a hint of profound determination in her eyes. 0
 
 
"Sister Xiu, I heard that Noble Consort has been targeting you frequently recently. Do you have a plan?" Consort Liu's voice was soft, but it revealed a hint of worry. 0
 
Hua Xiu lightly bit her red lips, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes: "Sister Liu, Noble Consort is indeed formidable, but I am not to be trifled with either. I have a plan in place, just waiting for the right moment." 0
 
 
As soon as the words fell, a palace maid hurriedly arrived, holding a secret letter in her hands. "Consort Embroidered Clouds, this is a secretly delivered secret letter," the palace maid said with a solemn expression, clearly indicating an urgent situation. 0
 
Hua Xiu took the secret letter and quickly scanned it, his expression changing slightly. The secret letter revealed a message: Noble Consort is secretly plotting to set a trap at the banquet, intending to frame Embroidered Clouds Consort. 0
 
 
"Sister Liu, it seems that Noble Consort Yin Ye has already started to take action," Hua Xiu said with a calm tone, her eyes shining with intelligence. 0
 
Consort Liu frowned slightly, " Sister Xiu, you must be careful. Noble Consort Yin Ye is ruthless and we cannot take her lightly." 0
 
 
Hua Xiu smiled faintly, a hint of determination in her eyes: "Sister Liu, please rest assured. I will handle it carefully and let's see how I can unravel her trap." 0
 
As the banquet day approached, Hua Xiu and Consort Liu began to plot their countermeasures, using their wits to plan how to defuse Noble Consort's scheme. The day of the banquet finally arrived, and the palace was aglow with lights, reflecting the splendid and magnificent scene under the glazed tiles. 0
 
 
Hua Xiu appeared at the banquet in a gorgeous attire, walking lightly. Her face bloomed like a spring flower, but with a hint of caution. Consort Liu accompanied her with her gentle demeanor, and the two of them fluttered like colorful butterflies among the flowers, attracting countless envious glances. 0
 
The banquet in the palace was in full swing, with brilliant candlelight and fireworks blooming in the night sky like scattered stars. Noble Consort sat in the main seat, dressed in splendor and exquisite makeup. There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, as if she were waiting for a certain opportunity. 0
 
 
During the banquet, a palace maid accidentally knocked over a wine glass, causing the wine to splash towards Hua Xiu. All eyes instantly turned to this little incident, creating a tense atmosphere. 0
 
However, Hua Xiu's reaction surprised everyone. She gracefully dodged the splashing wine with a light side step, her movement smooth and natural, like a skilled dancer gracefully turning on stage. This scene left the audience in awe of her agility and composure. 0
 
 
Noble Consort noticed a slight change in expression and a faint furrow of the brow. She hadn't expected Hua Xiu to so skillfully avert the danger, and her plan seemed to have failed. 0
 
As Hua Xiu returned to her seat, her expression remained calm, as if the previous events had left no trace. Her gaze swept over Noble Consort with a sharp insight, as if she had already seen through Noble Consort's careful thoughts. 0
 
 
Consort Liu saw the situation and quietly said to Hua Xiu: "Sister Xiu, you are truly clever. Your actions just now were wonderful!" 0
 
Hua Xiu replied with a smile: "Thanks to Sister Liu's guidance in daily life, I am able to have the wisdom to handle the world today." 0
 
 
The banquet in the palace was unprecedentedly grand, with brilliant candlelight and melodious music. However, there were hidden schemes and deceptions. A sinister look flashed in the eyes of Noble Consort Yin Ye as she quietly instructed a seemingly loyal palace maid to secretly add a small amount of sedative to Hua Xiu's wine glass. 0
 
However, Hua Xiu seemed to have been aware of the plot. She did not touch the glass of wine, but instead, an unsuspecting palace maid inadvertently drank it and immediately turned pale, swaying unsteadily. 0
 
 
Hua Xiu With a slight smile, her eyes revealed a bright intelligence. She softly said to Consort Liu beside her, " Sister Liu, matters in the palace are indeed like a chess game, every move requires caution." Her tone was casual, yet it conveyed a profound understanding of the intrigue in the court. 0
 
Consort Liu nodded, her expression gentle as usual, but her eyes couldn't help but show concern, " Sister Xiu is truly clever. This place is different from outside the palace, we must be careful." 0
 
 
Noble Consort Yin Ye watched the scene from afar, her face gradually darkening. She did not expect Hua Xiu to be able to easily see through her scheme. Her fingertips lightly tapped the armrest of the chair as she secretly contemplated the next step of her plan. 0
 
Hua Xiu, on the other hand, remained calm and composed. She skillfully maneuvered on the chessboard of the court, not only resolving crisis after crisis, but also revealing her extraordinary wisdom. The music and dance at the banquet continued, but Hua Xiu and Consort Liu knew full well that every move in the palace had to be carefully considered. 0
 
 
This banquet is not only a grand celebration of singing and dancing, but also a subtle competition of wisdom and strategy hidden beneath the splendid surface. In this dazzling palace, behind every smile may lie unfathomable schemes. 0
 
Noble Consort Yin Ye reluctantly acknowledges Hua Xiu's political acumen, despite her inner discontent. She privately ponders that Hua Xiu is extraordinary, and she will need to be even more cautious in dealing with her in the future. 0
 
 
After the banquet, Hua Xiu and Consort Liu walked hand in hand back to their residence and entered Consort Liu's room, where the gentle candlelight illuminated their faces. Hua Xiu wore a faint smile on her face, showing a hint of contentment amidst her fatigue. 0
 
Sitting on a soft chair by the window, Hua Xiu's eyes revealed excitement as she said, "Sister Liu, today's events were truly heart-stirring. Although Noble Consort's schemes were vicious, they ultimately did not harm us in the slightest." 0
 
 
Consort Liu nodded gently, her expression calm but with a hint of concern in her eyes: "Sister Xiu, although you have outsmarted Noble Consort, the affairs in the palace are like a game of chess, every move must be cautious. Your actions today, while clever, also need to guard against potential dangers." 0
 
Embroidered eyes shimmered with a determined light, her lips curling slightly: "Sister Liu, you speak wisely. Although Noble Consort has been temporarily thwarted, she will surely continue to seek opportunities against us. We must remain vigilant at all times." 0
 
 
Consort Liu With a slight smile, she lightly caressed the teacup on the table and said gently, "No matter how Noble Consort schemes, we will face it together. Your wit and bravery will be our greatest protection." 0
 
Hua Xiu Smiled gently, her eyes determined, "With Sister Liu by my side, I have the courage to face everything. No matter what schemes Noble Consort has, we will be able to unravel them one by one." 0
 
 
In the following days, the deceit and intrigue in the palace intensified. Noble Consort Yin Ye repeatedly set traps to harm Hua Xiu, but with the help of Consort Liu, Hua Xiu always managed to cleverly turn the situation around. Each confrontation made Hua Xiu more mature, and her intelligence and resilience made her extraordinary in this complex palace. 0
 
Although Noble Consort Yin Ye harbored dissatisfaction, she gradually felt powerless. The friendship between Hua Xiu and Consort Liu became stronger in this difficult struggle, as they supported each other and became a shining light in the palace. 0
 
 
The moonlight is like water, illuminating a corner pavilion in the Imperial Garden. Hua Xiu and Consort Liu sit in the pavilion, with a delicate tea set in front of them. The fragrant tea gently sways in the night breeze. The two quietly admire the moon, enjoying the tranquility. 0
 
Hua Xiu lifts the teacup, takes a sip, then gazes at the bright moonlight, pondering, " Sister Liu, as Your Majesty said, every move in the court must be carefully considered. Although we have avoided a crisis today, the future path is still full of variables." 0
 
 
Consort Liu smiled gently and lightly held Hua Xiu's hand, her eyes filled with trust and support: "Sister Xiu, your wit and courage are our strongest weapons in this game. Our combined wisdom is enough to overcome any difficulties and obstacles." 0
 
Hua Xiu's face showed a determined smile as she held Consort Liu's hand in return: "Yes, Sister Liu. As long as our hearts are in tune and we work together, we have nothing to fear. The Noble Consort's schemes are ultimately just empty talk." 0
 
 
The two exchanged a smile, their hearts filled with understanding. The fragrance of tea lingered as the moonlight shone brightly, creating a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere in the pavilion. The deceit and intrigue of the palace seemed to have vanished in that moment. 0
 
"Hua Xiu" gently set down her teacup and picked up an exquisite pastry. "Sister Liu, try this pastry. It's a new recipe I've learned recently. In the complexity of palace life, making pastries, enjoying tea, and admiring the moon is a rare pleasure." 0
 
 
Consort Liu took the snack and savored it slowly, praising, " Sister Xiu's craftsmanship is becoming more exquisite. This snack is sweet but not cloying, with a unique flavor. It's truly rare to have such leisure and elegance in this palace." 0
 
The moonlight was like water, gently sprinkling over the two of them. In this corner of the palace, they enjoyed a moment of tranquility and harmony. This tranquility might be temporary, but their friendship and wisdom would be their strongest support in this palace. 0
