The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Not long after, the news that the former Imperial Concubine Wang, now Concubine Wang, was released from house arrest by Gu Junshen reached the ears of every concubine in the harem.

No one was surprised by this, because they didn't even know why Wang was under house arrest before.

Gu Junshen gave Wang enough face and only announced the news that she was demoted and confined to her house. He did not spread the news about what wrong Wang had done.

Firstly, Wang's demotion had already made the Wang family, the imperial censors of the previous dynasty, extremely dissatisfied, and would definitely cause a sensation like Xiang's suicide by hanging.

Therefore, even though Wang was indeed at fault in this matter, Gu Junshen still chose to keep it for the sake of the court situation.

Secondly, Wang was pregnant with her princess after all, and he couldn't be too heartless and let the princess know in the future that her mother was such a despicable person.

……

Chengqian Palace.

Wang, who was lying on the bed, was not in a very good mood. This time, she followed her father's advice and used the princess to turn the tables, which had touched the last line of defense in her heart.

But she still did it, because if she was kept under house arrest, the princess would never be noticed by Gu Junshen.

Since she was put under house arrest, Gu Junshen's visits to the princess became less and less frequent. After Song Nanxiang became pregnant, he didn't come for two months.

Every time the princess asked her father why he didn't come to see her, the lonely expression on his face made her feel so incompetent.

As this feeling deepened, she became more and more convinced of her father's advice.

She gave birth to the princess simply to use the prince to win favor. Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, her goal of gaining the emperor's favor was achieved.

She even received Gu Junshen's exclusive favor for a period of time because she gave birth to the emperor's only princess.

She already missed those days very much.

After a long time, Wang lay on the bed and sobbed softly.

For fear of disturbing Doctor Xu who was observing the princess's condition outside, he covered his mouth and nose with his hands.

Tears of helplessness and sadness flowed from the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, she felt extremely remorseful, and she knew very well that everything that happened now was her own fault.

If she hadn't been thinking of getting something for nothing and hadn't been scheming on the Queen Mother's birthday, she wouldn't have ended up being demoted and confined to her room.

The princess knew exactly what foods she had adverse reactions to, so she would have her meals checked every day.

She didn't expect that the princess would have such a serious reaction after eating just a little bit. Fortunately, she had left a conspicuous mark at Shao Shui's place in the kitchen.

……

A few days later, the concubines got up at dawn and dressed themselves to go to Jingren Palace to pay their respects to the Queen.

Nan Xiang got the emperor's consent and now she didn't need to go to pay her respects, so she got up and sat on the couch to read the storybook.

Gu Junshen has been quite busy these days. For several days in a row, he would just quickly see her and then return to the Yangxin Palace to review memorials.

She felt that this was how an emperor should be.

"My Lady! This is the lotus cake that Chunyue just made."

Kikuhei came to Nanxiang with a box of pastries with beautiful and exquisite patterns.

"Have you made new pastries? Chunyue's cooking skills are really amazing."

After hearing this, Nanxiang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a small dimple that made people unable to take their eyes off her.

She had assigned tasks to Chunyue since she became pregnant, making pastries specifically for her.

Later, Nanxiang learned from Haruzuki's narration that before Haruzuki entered the palace, her family was doing well and specialized in selling homemade cakes.

Who would have thought that a drought would hit later, and food prices would continue to rise for a period of time, with rice and other goods becoming more and more expensive, so we could no longer make pastries.

It happened that Gu Junshen had finished his mourning period and the palace was recruiting palace maids, so Chunyue entered the palace for the livelihood of her family.

Unexpectedly, he ended up becoming a pastry chef under Nanxiang.

"Chun Yue really likes making cakes. Seeing that Your Majesty likes them, she makes them for You every day."

"Are the lotus flowers in the lotus pond blooming well recently?" Nanxiang asked, thinking of something.

It is now mid-summer and the plum blossoms in Wangyueju have long since faded. It is no longer possible to see the scene of fresh flowers.

Only the few pots of chrysanthemums in the corner looked pretty.

The goldfish and lotus pond that Gu Junshen had given as a gift wasn't blooming very well. It was tilted from side to side and looked extremely unsightly.

"From what the palace maids said, it seems so."

"Send a small notebook to fold some for me."

……

Jingren Palace.

At this time, all the concubines in the harem except Nanxiang had arrived, including Wang who was released from prison.

When Concubine Xian saw Wang, an ironic smile appeared on her lips that was hard to conceal.

Since Wang was demoted, she seemed to have lost her former nobility and dignity in front of the concubines.

Although Wang intended to show off her power, these concubines had already grown up and were not afraid of Wang's provocation at all.

"Sister! I haven't seen you for a long time! Would you like to stay in the palace?"

It was rare for Concubine Xian to make sarcastic remarks to other concubines in Jingren Palace, which made the concubines around her feel something unusual.

In the past, the virtuous concubine they met was always kind, dignified and noble, but now she has become like Wang before she was demoted.

Wang's face suddenly became unhappy after hearing this, but the status of Concubine Xian was much higher than hers, so she couldn't say anything excessive. She said in a somewhat cold tone:

"Sister, you are joking! It is naturally great to be in your own bedroom."

"Haha! Is the princess' condition getting better? I was shocked when I heard that the princess was sick. Princess Yong'an is the favorite of the princess's sister! How could she get sick so easily?"

As Concubine Xian spoke, she looked at Wang with some surprise and covered her mouth.

After hearing this, the concubines around looked at Wang with more inquiring eyes.

After hearing what Concubine Xian said, Wang suddenly felt guilty and an indescribable panic surged in her heart.

She didn't expect that her attack on the princess would be discovered so easily, and her face turned pale.

"Sister, you are joking! The princess is young and playful, so it is normal for her to get sick. This time it is just a little more serious."

"Haha! In this case, sister should discipline the princess and prevent her from getting sick again."

The virtuous concubine chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in the corners of her eyes.

Soon the queen came out from behind the screen, and everyone stood up and saluted.

"No gift!"

"Thank you, Queen!"

The queen nodded to everyone, then turned her gaze to Wang who was sitting in Nanxiang's seat.

"Shufei has obtained the emperor's permission. You don't have to come to pay respects to me in the future!"

When these words were spoken, no one showed any surprise on their faces.

They had guessed it as early as when they saw Wang sitting in Nanxiang's seat.

Otherwise, how could Wang, who had just been released from prison, dare to sit in Nanxiang's position?

"Princess! Is the princess's illness much better?"

Queen Chen asked Wang.

"It's much better now!"
