Su drank the tea in the cup and found it very bitter. She thought it was not as good as the inferior tea she drank that day, which made her feel more comfortable.

Seeing this, Pei smiled slightly, thought for a moment and spoke.

"Sister, this tea must be delicious. But I don't like to drink tea on weekdays, so I have forgotten about it. I still have some high-quality tea. If you like it, I will ask the maid to bring it to you after I return to the palace."

"Thank you for your kindness, sister. I just drink occasionally to kill time." Nan Xiang shook her head slightly and declined.

Who dares to drink the tea given by the concubines in the harem?

Although Nanxiang knew Pei's good intentions, she was not a greedy person. She had already taken the top-grade purple jadeite bracelet. If she accepted another one, people would say that she was greedy and only cared about profit.

"Well. Sister, you must come to my room for a cup of tea someday." Pei smiled and immediately extended an invitation to Nanxiang.

Nan Xiang thought that this might be Pei's real purpose, he wanted to use this topic to invite her.

"I'll come when I have time." Nanxiang didn't hesitate. Since the other party had invited her, she would go and see it when she had the chance.

Su listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She was just a low-ranking concubine, and lived in one of the many bedrooms in Tingxue Hall. She was not like Nanxiang, who was blessed by the emperor and lived alone in the huge bedroom of Wangyueju.

If she invited Nan Xiang to her place for tea, the room was so small that she would be laughed at.

Pei saw Su's dejected look and immediately said, "It is said that the Tingxue Hall where Sister Su lives is also very good. From the door of the bedroom, you can see many interesting things happening outside!"

The Chuxiu Palace where Pei lived was also nice and large. It was said that there were many osmanthus trees left by the previous concubine. Every autumn, the fragrance of osmanthus in the palace could drift to the Emperor's Yangxin Palace, allowing the concubine who lived in the Chuxiu Palace to receive a lot of royal favor. It was truly a good place.

Nanxiang could smell the irony in Pei's words as she sat there.

She just smiled and drank her tea without saying anything. This scene was very interesting.

"Of course it can't compare with my sisters' bedrooms. My position is low, so my bedroom is not that big." Su said with a pale face.

"Don't worry, Sister Su. With your looks, it's only a matter of time before you gain the emperor's favor. When you're promoted, the emperor will definitely help you move to a bigger place." Nan Xiang didn't want the two of them to quarrel in her bedroom, so she just said a few words to smooth things over.

After hearing this, Su looked much better.

When she met Pei at the door of Wangyueju just now, she could obviously choose not to come, but she knew that Pei might make things difficult for her, so she came in anyway.

She thought for a long time outside Wangyueju, and felt that if she missed the opportunity to visit this time, her relationship with Nanxiang might become cold in the future.

He has been promoted to a high position, while you are still in the same position, and even your reputation in the harem has been ruined. Ordinary concubines have long distanced themselves from him, so how can they get close to him?

Only Song Nanxiang is willing to pay attention to her now.

Besides, Nanxiang was just promoted to a noble lady today. As a neighbor next door, if she doesn't come to congratulate him, the emperor will probably think she is ignorant of etiquette if he hears about it.

As the sky outside became darker, Nanxiang soon saw the snowflakes gradually falling.

'It's going to snow again!'

The weather this year is really abnormal.

Pei looked at Nanxiang's actions and looked outside. After seeing the snow falling outside, she stood up and bowed to Nanxiang, saying, "I had a very pleasant chat with you today. The weather is unpredictable today, so I'll leave now."

Nan Xiang nodded and said, "Sister Pei, walk slowly! Be careful on the slippery road in the snow!"

Nanxiang thought Pei was quite smart, but she was a bit talkative. If she didn't do anything out of line to her in the future, she would be willing to have some dealings with her.

Of course, they only talk occasionally in their free time. Nan Xiang, who is close to her, has not met anyone she can trust, and she will not survive long in the harem if she has such thoughts.

When Su saw Pei get up to say goodbye, she felt a little conflicted.

She had something she wanted to say, but she couldn't open her mouth with Pei present.

"Sister, let me see you off!" Su stood up and said to Pei who was passing by her.

Pei glanced at her with some disgust in her eyes, and walked out of the inner hall without replying.

After seeing Pei leave, Su looked at Nanxiang, nodded and continued to sit down.

"Sister, I have been listening to you these days and staying in the bedroom, but I don't see that the emperor remembers me?" Su said with a wry smile.

"Sister, your idea is wrong. I just gave you advice and didn't promise you any results. I just don't want you to go out and suffer those contempts and verbal abuses." Nan Xiang said righteously with a serious face.

Nan Xiang almost died of laughter when she heard Su's question. Her perception of Su dropped to a lower level and she even added a label of "idiot".

It was not her decision as to where the emperor went. Besides, since she wanted to gain the emperor's favor, he actually believed her and waited foolishly.

Go to the Imperial Garden more often, or go around the palace, you might run into the Emperor. Isn't it just asking for His Majesty's favor?

Nanxiang herself was too lazy to move, and didn't want to use this method to gain the emperor's favor. After all, this trick had been used on countless people in the harem, and they had long lost interest in it.

But you have to know that the emperor has just been on the throne for two years, and these tricks are still relatively new to him, so they will definitely be useful.

However, Nanxiang didn't want to remind Su. Everyone has their own destiny, and she didn't want to help a potential enemy grow.

It's better that Su is so silly, so that the harem won't become a big melting pot.

"That's not what I meant. Your suggestion is definitely for my own good. It's just..." Upon hearing this, Su hurriedly began to explain, but she couldn't say the last half of the sentence.

Caiyun stood aside and listened to Su's complaints, and the idea that she originally liked Su was instantly extinguished.

Is this girl blaming her master for not receiving the emperor's favor?

It's obviously her bad luck, who can she blame?

"Okay, sister. It's only been seven days since what happened to you. Don't be too anxious. As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" After Nanxiang said this, she picked up the teacup on the table and didn't want to waste any more words with her.

Seeing this, Su wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

"It's getting late. I'll leave first." Su stood up and bowed with a gloomy face.

"Take care, sister!" Nanxiang said lightly.

"Caiyun, can you send Sister Su off?"

"Su, please come this way!" Caiyun said with a somewhat impatient tone.

Lily was displeased when she saw Caiyun's attitude towards her master, and she glared at Caiyun slightly.

Caiyun was not to be outdone and glared back.

After sending Su out the door, Caiyun walked into the inner hall somewhat angrily.

"My lady! Mrs. Su is so tactless. You were so kind to comfort her, but she actually blamed you for the mistake." Caiyun spoke up for Nanxiang.

"This is normal human behavior. After all, there is a big gap between her and me now. She must be feeling unbalanced." Nan Xiang didn't care much about it, as she already disliked Su.
