After hearing this, Su's face showed a slight joy.

Could it be possible that Nanxiang didn't know what Su was thinking?

They are all women, and she can guess what is in someone's mind.

But she didn't intend to expose him, and just let him act for a while, after all, he was already into the role.

"I was so suddenly distracted just now that I forgot to greet my two sisters." Su said with a tone of self-blame.

Then she said, "Promise Su to meet Concubine Song! Meet Concubine Pei!"

"Sister, please get up quickly. You've been squatting for so long, people will think I'm mistreating you." Nanxiang said.

"Kikuhei, please take a seat! Prepare tea." Nanxiang ordered.

Seeing that there was no room left for the couch in the room, Kikuhei asked the eunuch to bring a round stool from the side hall and place it next to Su.

"Thank you, sister!" Su said lightly.

"Sister Su, what a coincidence! I never thought that we have such a tacit understanding and both want to visit Sister Song." The displeasure in Pei's eyes had long been hidden.

At this time, his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, making him look very friendly.

"It's indeed a coincidence!" Su said with pursed lips, and took the teacup handed to her by Caiyun.

Pei resisted the urge to roll her eyes, put down her teacup and said sincerely, "I haven't had time to congratulate you on your promotion to noble. Congratulations."

"Thank you, sister!" Nanxiang nodded.

"My younger sister is also congratulating you on your promotion to noble lady!" Su stood up, squatted and congratulated her.

"Haha, you two sisters are so thoughtful." Nanxiang smiled at them.

This harem really depends on the emperor's favor. When she was recuperating and had not yet served in the emperor's bed, the two of them were unwilling to step into Wangyueju. She had just been promoted to a noble lady, and two of them came at once.

Could it be that he was thinking that he could meet the emperor here and gain his favor?

Or do you want to learn from her how to obtain grace?

"Fen'er! Quickly bring me the top-grade purple jade bracelet I brought." Pei looked at Su's behavior, sneered in her heart, and then spoke in a loud voice.

He glanced casually at Su who was sitting on a round stool, his eyes full of pride.

As the legitimate daughter of General Pei, she was doted on. There were countless exquisite jewelry in the mansion, and there were also numerous rare treasures collected from neighboring countries.

Although Su's official position was higher than Song's, she was still a concubine's daughter, so the gifts she gave were not that precious.

Thinking of this, she felt even more proud.

Su noticed Pei's gaze, but she didn't dare to look up, because the gift she prepared was indeed not even a fraction of what others gave her and seemed a little shabby.

She was originally an unfavored concubine in the family. Although she held an official rank of sixth grade and received many rewards every year, she might not be able to afford a pair of purple jade bracelets even if she saved for many years.

What's more, she has two older legitimate sisters, and her family was unwilling to pay a hundred taels of gold to send her to the selection.

Although her family gave her a lot before she entered the palace, it was still small compared to other concubines except Song Nanxiang.

The only most precious thing was the box of fine rouge held by her maid, which was made from the best rouge powder and was extremely famous in the Northern Dynasties.

As soon as Pei finished speaking, the maid beside her brought a box over.

"Sister, look, this is my new purple jade bracelet. It looks very elegant and noble when you wear it." Pei said as she opened the box and presented it to Nanxiang for her to see.

Nan Xiang didn't really like what she heard, she was just a little curious.

What would purple jade from the Northern Dynasties look like.

She looked at the dark purple round bracelet in the box, her eyes flashing with amazement.

This pair of bracelets has a Yves Saint Laurent purple charm, warm, crystal clear, and sparkling with a glassy luster.

However, Nanxiang did not take it, but said with a smile, "Sister, you are really spending a lot of money. This bracelet looks very valuable, it is really inappropriate for me to take it." Nanxiang said apologetically and declined slightly.

Pei was a little surprised when she heard this, and frowned slightly. "I brought a lot of these things from home. To me, they are just vulgar things, and they are not worthy of my sister's beauty."

"Sister, if you don't accept it, does that mean you look down on me?" Pei said with a somewhat depressed look.

"Sister, there's no need to do this. Since that's the case, I'll accept it." Nanxiang said with a faint smile.

He signaled Caiyun with his eyes to take the box away.

She had originally wanted to be polite, but she didn't expect the other party to really want to give it as a gift.

She thought the purple jade was pretty good, and since it was given to her so sincerely, she accepted it without hesitation.

She just hoped that the other party wouldn't have any bad intentions towards her.

"Just accept it, sister." Pei's face looked visibly happier.

The purpose of her coming today was also to make friends with this beauty whom the emperor loved so much, in the hope that one day the emperor would love her as well.

It would be difficult for her to obtain grace on her own.

Firstly, she did not have the beauty of Song Nanxiang, and secondly, she did not have the dignity and virtue of the concubines in the other palaces.

Born in a general's mansion, she had been surrounded by all kinds of weapons since childhood, and her behavior was not at all like that of a noble lady.

But that day, when my father saw the emperor from afar, he fell in love with him.

I thought that even if I didn't get the emperor's favor, I could still see him a few times after coming to the harem.

But more than a month had passed, and he hadn't even seen the emperor. Instead, he heard the news that Concubine Xiang had been imprisoned and demoted.

Only then did she realize that the palace was not as beautiful as she had imagined.

"I also have a gift for you. But it's a little light, not as good as Sister Pei's bracelet. I hope Sister Song won't dislike it." Su lowered her head slightly and waved to Lily to open the box.

She glanced at Nanxiang cautiously, trying to see her joy or anger in her eyes.

However, when she saw Nanxiang's calm expression, she couldn't help feeling a little lonely.

Things like these from ordinary families are really not presentable. Compared with the previous gift, they seem particularly shabby.

Nan Xiang just glanced at the contents of the box, then smiled and said, "Since you've already accepted Sister Pei's, you can accept Sister Su's as well."

Nanxiang could guess Su's mentality to some extent.

Pei's gift was so valuable that it put her above him. If she took out the gift, she would be compared with him. If she didn't take out the gift, it would seem impolite.

It's not the right way, which makes it a bit difficult for her.

"Sister, do you think this tea is different from the last time?" Nanxiang said to Su.

Su smiled, took a sip of tea, and a look of surprise flashed across her face.

This time the tea was much more fragrant than the last time she drank, and it was a bit more upscale.

This is a completely different feeling when being favored; even the tea becomes refined and fragrant.

"Sister's tea is sweeter and more fragrant than last time!" Su said softly, and even tasted a sense of showing off from the tea.

"Then you should drink more." Nanxiang said with a smile.

Among the rewards that the emperor sent yesterday were a lot of top-quality teas. I guess it was because he drank her tea that was not worthy of being served when he was in bed with her.
