The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

After learning that Song Nanxiang was favored, the first concubine in the harem who could not sit still was Su Yajun from Tingxue Hall next to Wangyueju.

The bedroom where she lived had only an elegant name, but the emperor had never visited it once.

Originally, she should have been the first among the new concubines to serve the emperor in bed, but the princess suddenly fell ill, causing her to miss out on this favor. She must have been extremely unwilling to accept this.

The day after the emperor turned over her name card, she was sent back by the emperor in a red sedan chair. On the way, she was subjected to unwarranted ridicule, especially from the cold noble lady of Chang'an Palace.

Why could she, with her humble body, be the first to serve the emperor?

Noblewoman Leng's background was much better than hers, so she had no confidence to refute. She could only sit in the sedan chair and dared not say a word until she was far away from Chang'an Palace, then she dared to sob softly.

She originally thought that Song Nanxiang was a concubine like her who could not gain the emperor's favor due to special reasons, so she felt a sense of identification with Song Changzai and wanted to make friends with her.

Maybe it will be of some help to her later.

But she didn't expect Nanxiang's attitude towards her to be lukewarm and extremely restrained.

She was not surprised at all that the emperor summoned Nanxiang to sleep with him twice, but when she actually heard the news, she still felt inexplicably jealous.

Especially since Nanxiang was promoted after only serving the emperor twice, what should she do to gain the emperor's favor?

Her depressed mood made her come to the door of Wangyueju involuntarily.

"Lily, did you take the things I asked you to take?" Su looked at the half-open door in front of her and said to Lily beside her.

"My lady, are you really going to give Concubine Song such a good thing? This is the best rouge you brought back from your mother's home. Didn't you say you wanted to use this to gain the emperor's favor?" Lily spoke in a much softer voice, with her head slightly lowered.

"But I can't even see the emperor now, what use is this thing for?" Su sneered.

Now the whole harem knows that she is a rejected concubine, the most miserable one, who was returned intact.

Before Su entered Wangyueju, a somewhat sarcastic voice came from behind.

"Hey! Isn't this Su Yingding from Tingxue Hall? Why is he standing in front of the door of Wangyueju instead of going in? Is he too shameless? Or...?"

The person who came was Pei Junli, the concubine of Chuxiu Palace, and she was followed by a maid. The maid was also holding a box in her hand, but this box was much more exquisite than the one in the hand of Su's maid.

It seems that he also came to give a gift to Song Nanxiang.

"I'm here to see Concubine Pei. I hope you're all right!" Su saw the visitor's face suddenly turn cold, and she squatted down and saluted.

"Su, promise!" Pei Junli didn't seem to want to bother with Su, but Su stood in front of the door of Wangyueju, blocking her way.

Seeing this, Su leaned to the left and made way.

"You're quite sensible!" Pei Junli chuckled and walked directly into Wangyueju with her maid.

"My lady, this Pei is too rude. It was obviously you who came first." Lily said indignantly.

"After all, his position is higher than mine, so it's only right for me to give way." Su said calmly. Although she was unhappy in her heart, she couldn't show it.

In the inner hall of Wangyueju, Nanxiang, who had just been promoted in the morning, was writing a longevity letter with some worry.

It's great to be promoted today, but the concubines in the harem are not all vegetarians. They may start to make plans soon.

Of course, Nanxiang was not afraid at all, but was lamenting that the harem was becoming restless.

A lot of things have happened to her since she entered the palace, and she has been restless for a long time.

The imperial concubine had asked her to write the longevity invitation in just seven days, and it was already the second day.

The seven days mentioned by the imperial concubine did not specify whether it started from yesterday or today. The best way for her to avoid punishment was to hand it over to her after six days.

Nanxiang turned her wrist and elbow slightly and felt a sour sensation.

Copying the 10,000-word longevity letter is not an easy task.

At this time, Ju Ping walked to Nan Xiang's desk with small steps and said, "My lady! Pei Changzai from Chuxiu Palace is here."

Nanxiang was a little surprised when she heard this, but then she understood something.

The emperor has called her name card for two consecutive days, so someone must have become impatient.

I just don't know what Chang Pei is planning?

Nan Xiang was not very familiar with Pei Changzai. She only heard that Pei Changzai's father, General Pei, was a fierce general in the emperor's military. He had won many great achievements for the Northern Dynasty, and the emperor respected him very much.

General Pei played a significant role in the emperor's ability to maintain his stable government within two years of ascending the throne.

"Please invite Concubine Pei in." Nan Xiang said with a smile.

Nanxiang put away the calligraphy on the desk, tidied up everything on the table, and then went to the couch to wait for Pei Changzai's arrival.

She didn't want other concubines to know about the copying task assigned by the imperial concubine, nor could she let them know, otherwise it would only bring her more trouble.

Not long after Nanxiang sat on the couch, Pei Changzai walked into the inner hall.

Upon seeing the visitor, Nan Xiang took a quick look at her. Pei Changzai was born in a general's family. Her eyes and brows were more heroic than those of ordinary concubines. Her clothes were also very decent, not too conspicuous, and she did not look like a concubine who liked to compete for favors.

"Changzai Pei pays her respects to Concubine Song!" Pei Junli said in a clear voice.

Pei Changzai's voice was penetrating, not like the gentle voice of a young girl, but more like that of a female general.

"No need to be so polite, Concubine Pei. Please take a seat." Nan Xiang said with a smile and led Concubine Pei to her side.

"Thank you very much!" Pei Changzai smiled faintly and glanced at Nan Xiang.

"Caiyun, make tea!" Nanxiang ordered Caiyun.

"I'm sorry to bother you today, sister. I hope you can forgive me." Pei Chang's tone was filled with apology.

"Nothing. I wish someone could come and chat with me." Nan Xiang smiled, her eyes full of sincerity.

"My lady! Su Da Ying is also outside." Ju Ping glanced at Pei who was sitting opposite Nan Xiang, then squatted down and spoke.

"Oh? My Wangyueju is so lively today?" Nanxiang raised her eyebrows slightly, with surprise in her eyes.

"Everyone in the harem knows that your sister is beautiful. There must be many sisters who want to get close to her." Pei Changzai picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Mr. Pei is really sweet-talking." Nan Xiang covered her mouth and smiled.

Then he said, "Juping, please invite Su Yingda in."

"Yes"

After a while, Su walked in with cautious steps.

When she saw the two people sitting on the couch in the room, she said with a somewhat panicked look, "I didn't know Sister Pei was here too. I'm sorry to have disturbed your pleasure."

Anyone who saw the expression and tone for the first time would really think it was an accident.

When Pei heard this, her eyes darkened as if she was somewhat unhappy.

"You are such a good pretender!"

"How could that be? I was just talking to Concubine Pei, that my Moon Watching Residence is indeed a little deserted, with only flowers and plants but no laughter. Now that my sister is here, it's just right." Nan Xiang smiled slightly, but said nothing.
