Qin Yanyao entered the palace as a side branch of the "daughter of a guilty minister" and had a very low status (agree). She deliberately acted frail and sickly during the draft, and even fainted in public, successfully making everyone (including the Queen) think that she was a sick person who would "not survive three months" and thus lower their guard.
Qin Yanyao was deliberately bumped into by the domineering concubines in the palace, but when the emperor Xiao Jingheng passed by, she accurately shed a drop of "fairy tears". Instead of filing a complaint, she interceded on behalf of Concubine Wan: "Sister Wan was just outspoken. It was my concubine who was unsatisfactory and disturbed my sister."
The emperor showed mercy and all the concubines were punished. Qin Yanyao took this opportunity to be promoted to "Mr. Noble" and gained the right to freely enter and leave the Imperial Pharmacy (on the pretext of taking care of her body, she actually started to arrange spices).
