The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Wangyueju, Mao time.

Chunyue, who got up early, was picking up snow plum petals that had fallen in the yard during last night's heavy snow.

It snowed heavily last night, and I have already picked up a small basket of snow.

In the past, servants would clean up these fallen petals.

But Song Nanxiang felt it was a pity to throw them away. They were just knocked down by the heavy snow and were still clean. They could be made into sachets or used for bathing.

The fragrance of snow plum is the most intense in early spring. Although there are only five or six snow plum trees in Wangyueju, the courtyard of Wangyueju is often filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms.

Every time I enjoy the snow in the yard, the smell of Nanxiang is particularly soothing.

There were a few branches of plum in the corner, and Ling Han opened it alone.

Among many flowers and plants, she only likes plum blossoms.

After a while, Chunyue heard rustling sounds outside the courtyard, like the footsteps of eunuchs and palace maids, as if they were talking about something.

Chunyue was curious, so she stood behind the red door and looked outside the yard.

Then I saw a sedan chair being carried by several eunuchs on the snow. Perhaps the sedan chair was too heavy, the eunuchs couldn't help making noises from time to time.

The sedan was painted red, with auspicious cloud-shaped decorations on each corner, and there seemed to be a woman sitting inside.

There was a faint sound of sobbing.

"Chun Yue? Are you slacking off again? Is the master's medicine ready?" Ju Ping came behind Chun Yue and scolded her slightly.

"Oh, Sister Kikuhei. Please forgive me this time. I won't do it again next time." Haruzuki acted coquettishly and cutely towards Kikuhei and waved Kikuhei's arm.

"It's okay for you to treat me like this, but if you treat others like this you might get laughed at. You're such a grown-up, but you're still acting like a child." Kikuhei said angrily.

"No. I only do this to Sister Kikuhei." Haruzuki smiled with narrowed eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Kikuhei asked.

"Oh, I saw several eunuchs carrying a red sedan chair." Chunyue said casually.

Upon hearing this, Kikuhei's expression changed immediately, and a hint of panic flashed across his originally doting eyes.

"Stop looking and let's go." As she said that, she took Chunyue's hand and walked into the yard.

"Don't tell anyone you've seen it in the future," said Kikuhei.

"Why? Sister Kikuhei?" Haruzuki looked confused.

"What is your sedan chair used for?" Kikuhei said in a slightly deep voice.

"I don't know. This is the first time I've seen it." Chunyue shook her head.

She had just entered the palace this year, so she didn't know so many things. When she saw new things, she couldn't help but look around.

"That is the sedan chair that the concubine sits in after serving the emperor in the night." Kikuhei whispered in Chunyue's ear.

After hearing this, Chunyue quickly covered her mouth.

"Ah? Then why did he come to our place? It seems that there is a Su Da Ying living here in Wangyueju." Chunyue looked surprised.

"Don't say it. You are not allowed to tell anyone else in the future." Kikuhei reminded.

"Okay." Chunyue nodded.

There are generally only two types of concubines who can ride in sedan chairs in the palace. One is the one who is rewarded by a high-ranking and extremely favored emperor, and the other is the one who is summoned to the Pepper Room by a low-ranking emperor to serve him in bed.

There was also a special situation, that is, the emperor failed to sleep with the woman and felt guilty, so he sent the sedan chair back.

But no matter which situation it is, it is extremely taboo for palace maids and servants like them. If they offend it accidentally, they might bring disaster upon themselves.

……

Moon Watcher was in the inner hall, lighting sweet-smelling incense.

After getting up, Song Nanxiang started copying Rules for Women and Taming Women.

Each document has a lot of words, and she is not used to using a pen, so it takes her a long time each time.

There is still a long way to go before the imperial concubine's punishment is completed.

Although the imperial concubine did not mention this matter now, and maybe she had forgotten it herself, Nanxiang could not forget it. If the fickle master suddenly remembered it one day, she would be the one in trouble.

So even if she writes a little slowly, she will make sure that there are no typos in every copy so that no one can find fault with it.

She also heard the noise outside, but it was not loud, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

I guessed in my mind what had happened.

Nanxiang twisted her sore palms, picked up the tea on the table and started drinking.

Soon, the teacup was empty.

"Caiyun, pour me some tea!" Nanxiang shouted outside, but she was no longer able to lift the teapot to pour tea.

"Here comes the Master!"

When Caiyun heard the sound, she hurried in to pour tea for Nanxiang.

"What are you talking about outside?" Nanxiang asked casually.

She had already heard Caiyun and the others whispering something outside, and it seemed quite interesting.

"Master. I'm afraid the entire palace knows about this." Caiyun said mysteriously.

"What's the matter?" Nanxiang also became curious, and when she looked up, she saw Caiyu's frowning face.

"Su from Tingxue Hall was called by the emperor to sleep with him last night."

Upon hearing this, Song Nanxiang almost spit out the tea that she had just drunk.

"what?"

Song Nanxiang felt that her brain was being bombarded by an inexplicable amount of information.

Nanxiang was not belittling Su, but Su's looks were only average, much worse than Xiang Yihan, otherwise she would not have been canonized as a concubine.

At this point she had seriously doubted the emperor's aesthetic taste.

"This Su Da Ying is not simple at all." She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Su actually defeated all the new concubines quietly and won the chance to sleep with the emperor.

"How did she do it?"

"I don't know either." Caiyun said indifferently.

When she heard that Su from Tingxue Hall next door had agreed to sleep with her, she couldn't help but worry about her master.

Unexpectedly, her master was even calmer than her, and seemed to have no interest in sleeping with him at all.

Nanxiang thought for a moment and said to Caiyun, "Go and call Kikuhei over."

"Yes!"

"Master!" Ju Ping said calmly.

"Kikuhei, go and find out about Su's promise to sleep with you. It would be best if you pass by and listen to the eunuchs and palace maids discussing it. Just pretend to be passing by and don't ask." Nanxiang thought for a moment and said to Kikuhei.

She was not interested in Su's consent to sleep with the emperor, but was curious as to why there had been no news of any reward from the emperor after Su's consent to sleep with the emperor.

Generally, after the emperor slept with the concubine, she would be rewarded with some jewelry and fabrics.

Nan Xiangke doesn't think the emperor is a stingy person.

"Yes." Ju Ping nodded calmly.

Kikuhei has been in the harem for many years and can actually guess some of the truth.

……

"Caiyun, keep the women's rules that I copied today." Nanxiang said to Caiyun who was grinding ink.

"Yes."

Not long after, Kikuhei returned to Mochizuki Residence.

Seeing Kikuhei, Kusunoka asked softly, "But what happened?"

"Master! The princess had a high fever last night!" Kikuhei said cryptically.

"Well, I see."

How could Nanxiang not know the truth when she heard that the princess had a fever?

It was simply that Imperial Concubine Wang was trying to win favor and didn't want the new concubine from last night to sleep with her, so she made such a fuss.

Fortunately, because she caught a cold, she could temporarily avoid serving the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber for a few days and did not have to suffer such injustice.

It’s just a pity for Su Da Ying from Tingxue Hall, who finally got the chance to sleep with the emperor.

All preparations for sleeping with the emperor were complete, but in the end he had to wait in the Pepper Room all night.

"Master, I just seemed to hear the eunuch from Tingxue Hall say that Su Da Ying cried." Caiyun said after putting the paper roll away.

"Who wouldn't cry when encountering something like this?" said Nanxiang.

After careful preparations for a long time, a red sedan was finally sent back intact.
