As soon as Nanxiang arrived outside Wangyueju, she heard noisy sounds coming from inside.

There was some displeasure in her eyes. After all, it was the palace where she lived. If someone made a scene, wouldn't it damage her reputation of being dignified and virtuous?

"Caiyun, go in and see what's going on. It's so noisy." Nanxiang said to Caiyun.

Caiyun walked into Wangyueju holding a copybook containing calligraphy and brushes and ink.

Then I saw that the originally spacious inner courtyard had become much smaller.

After a closer look, I found that there were several more plum trees in full bloom in the inner courtyard.

It is a little different from the original snow plum in the courtyard, but it blooms very beautifully.

Caiyun suddenly recovered from the humiliation she had suffered in Chengqian Palace.

"Sister Caiyun, you're back? Where's the young lady?" Chunyue asked softly when she saw Caiyun holding a tray with a happy face.

"The young master is outside. She felt that the yard was a bit noisy, so she asked me to come and take a look!" Caiyun said.

"Little Benzi, Xiao Chunzi, please keep your voices down. Don't disturb the young lady's peace. And there are several eunuchs." Kikuhei reacted immediately after hearing this and said to the eunuchs who were carrying the wintersweet potted plants.

With that said, Kikuhei hurriedly walked towards the outside of Wangyueju.

Seeing Nan Xiang looking at the snow on the eaves, he immediately knelt down and saluted, saying, "My lady, please don't blame me. It's because the eunuchs were moving the potted plants and made a lot of noise, disturbing my lady's peace."

"Nothing." Nanxiang asked softly with her back to Kikuhei.

She had no complaints about the eunuchs making loud noises when moving the potted plants. After all, they were just working for their master.

"By the way, master! The emperor gave you a lot of wintersweets. They are really beautiful when placed in the yard. Our yard suddenly has a lot more life." Juping said with some joy.

"Your Majesty is very thoughtful!" Nanxiang smiled faintly.

He couldn't help but snort in his heart. He made her so tired last night, but only gave her a few wintersweets. It would be better to give her a position as a noble.

The reason why she was harassed by the Imperial Concubine again today was because of her low status now.

In order to avoid further harassment from Wang, she had to quickly plan a promotion.

Nanxiang thought so and turned and walked into Wangyueju.

As soon as she entered Wangyueju, a strange fragrance of plum blossoms rushed into her nose. The scent of the two plum blossoms mixed together, but it didn't seem abrupt at all.

Looking around the yard of Wangyueju, there are many more potted plants, and it doesn't look so empty anymore.

After looking at the placement of the potted wintersweets, Nanxiang felt that they were a bit messy. They should be placed in a row to make the wintersweets look more beautiful and eye-catching.

She gave the eunuchs a brief instruction and walked into the inner hall.

At this time, Caiyun had already started burning charcoal in the inner hall, and the entire bedroom suddenly became warm.

She accidentally glanced at the long note on the desk and an idea came to her mind.

"Caiyun, grind some ink for me." Nanxiang said to Caiyun who was stirring the charcoal fire.

"Oh, okay, my lady!" Caiyun responded and quickly stood up and walked to Nanxiang's side. She picked up the golden Hui ink given by the imperial concubine and began to grind it carefully.

"Master. Didn't the imperial concubine say it would take seven days? Are we going to start writing so soon? Won't you take a day off?" Caiyun asked.

Nanxiang slept with the Emperor last night, and today she paid her respects to the Empress. Afterwards, she was called over by the Imperial Concubine to make things difficult for her in disguise.

Caiyun felt that her master must be very tired.

"It's okay to be a little tired." Nanxiang smiled calmly.

The thought of getting a promotion in the near future filled her with energy.

If this really goes as she expected, promotion is only a matter of time.

Then she began to look at the Wanshou Tie scroll on the table.

Wanshoutie is a post with ten thousand longevity characters written on it. There are actually one thousand different glyphs in it, and each glyph is written ten times according to a certain pattern. The total number is exactly ten thousand, so it is commonly known as Wanshoutie.

Sending longevity stickers undoubtedly represents sincere respect for the elders and implies "long life".

This is also the purpose of the imperial concubine. If she can make the emperor's mother happy, how can the emperor not favor her?

But Imperial Concubine Wang just had her own ideas. It was impossible for her to actually write those ten thousand longevity characters, so she turned her attention to Song Nanxiang.

The etiquette culture was prevalent in the Northern Dynasties, and Nanxiang received private education since childhood. As a lady from a noble family, being able to write beautiful calligraphy was a compulsory task for her.

A noble family like the imperial concubine's would not ask for so much. After all, given her status, even if she is not so good at poetry and literature, she can still marry into a good family.

But Nanxiang couldn't do that. Although she came from an official family, she was an extremely unpopular concubine's daughter. If she wanted to marry into a good family, she had to have good upbringing.

Although the original body was not very smart, fortunately, he studied hard and practiced diligently, and was able to write beautifully over the years. In addition, Nanxiang herself had severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, so she would definitely pursue perfection in her writing.

Just like the "Nu Ze Nu Xun" that she copied as punishment last time, every stroke and every line was neat and tidy. This was also the way the imperial concubine used her body position to force Nan Xiang to write for her.

After practicing all the strokes of the longevity character on the Wanshou Tie, Nanxiang began to write on a blank piece of paper.

Time passed quickly like running water, and it was already Wu time.

After having a simple meal, Nanxiang stayed in the inner hall and copied the longevity stickers.

The mind is very focused.

"My beloved, what are you doing?" Gu Junshen walked quietly to Nan Xiang's desk. Looking at the beauty in front of him working hard, he found it very interesting.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" Nanxiang hurriedly put away the longevity card, a trace of panic flashing across her face.

"Caiyun! Why didn't you inform us that the emperor is coming?" Nanxiang looked at Caiyun angrily.

"Don't blame her, I didn't let you. I wanted to give you a surprise. I wanted to see if you missed me!" Gu Junshen smiled elegantly, his eyes following the lovely girl in front of him.

I wanted to see some clues from her expression.

"What is the emperor saying? I am sure you are thinking about it. But the emperor just summoned me to sleep with him last night. I thought the emperor would go to another sister's place tonight." Nanxiang said with a slightly angry tone.

Hearing this, the corners of Gu Junshen's mouth slightly raised, revealing a sense of excitement, and his eyes were even more eager, as if filled with endless affection.

Originally according to the rules, he should have turned over the name card of another concubine tonight, but for some reason, the figure of a certain bright and beautiful woman kept appearing in his mind. Thinking of her skin as white as jade, as delicate as fat, and her lips as tender as water, he couldn't help but walk over.

"What was I concentrating on writing just now? Let me take a look?" Gu Junshen asked as he glanced at Nan Xiang's somewhat covered post.

"I just wrote it for fun. I'm afraid it might pollute the emperor's eyes." Nan Xiang said a little nervously.

"Be good! Let me see!" Gu Junshen said, and he was even more curious. He picked up the calligraphy and looked at it directly.

“Is this the word for longevity?”
