The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

"Then why don't we just meet a few more times?" Nanxiang said.

Sometimes she wondered how women in ancient times met their true love, or did they just listen to the matchmaker's words?

In her dictionary, if you like someone, you will pursue him. Of course, pursuing someone also requires methods, such as more chance encounters, like meeting the emperor today. Of course, you can also do some small actions to attract his attention, as long as they are not too excessive.

"Is it so easy to see the emperor?" Pei thought Nanxiang was just talking nonsense and didn't take it seriously.

If it was so easy to meet the emperor, she wouldn't have been in the palace for more than a month without having served him in bed once.

"Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it!" Nanxiang continued to tease Yu and stopped talking. She only said this because Pei had just spoken for her. If she met someone else, she would be too lazy to say it.

Upon hearing this, Pei smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Sometimes it’s hard for people with good intentions to get things done!

……

"Hey! Fourteenth brother! Why did you think of coming to my place today?" As soon as Gu Junshen entered the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he saw Prince Huai'an Gu Jintang sitting on the couch.

The person in front of me had his hair tied up with a jade hairpin. He was handsome as hell, with the wind blowing in his sleeves. He held a fan in his slender white hands. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his eyes were like water. He looked a little frivolous, but there was some tenderness between his eyebrows, just like a charming man.

"I haven't seen you for many days, my brother. I miss you very much! I just paid a visit to our mother today, so why don't you come and sit with me, my brother?" Gu Jintang said with a smile.

Gu Jintang is also the son of the current empress dowager, but he was made a king at an early age and had basically no chance of becoming an emperor, so he just lived his life as a free and easy young man, and was quite happy and at ease.

"It will be our mother's birthday soon. I plan to hold a grand celebration, and you, my fourteenth brother, must come and have a drink with sake then!" Gu Junshen said with a hearty smile.

"I will definitely come and ask for a glass of sake on my mother's birthday." Gu Jintang was not polite and agreed immediately.

"Just now I saw Fourteenth Brother, with a frown on his face. What are you worried about?" Gu Junshen asked.

He raised his hand and asked Liu Sheng to serve tea.

He hadn't seen his younger brother for many days. Now that they finally met, he wanted to talk about everything.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jintang frowned again.

He sighed and said, "My mother told me to get married quickly and marry a few more wives to expand the palace. My brother, you know I am used to being carefree. If there are suddenly a few more wives, I won't be able to bear it!"

Hearing this, Gu Junshen couldn't help but sneer.

His fourteenth brother is four years younger than him and is not even twenty years old now, which is considered a young age. He really likes a more relaxed life.

"Mother is indeed a little anxious! But isn't it because she is worried that you will never get married?" Gu Junshen said, trying hard to suppress his smile.

"Royal brother, please don't make fun of me. Queen Mother said that she would choose a few wives for me from the unsuccessful beauties at the beginning of the year. How about you go and ask Queen Mother for help?" After saying this, Gu Jintang looked at Gu Junshen expectantly.

"I was wondering why you suddenly wanted to come to me. Turns out you wanted me to plead for you with our mother!" After hearing this, Gu Junshen understood Gu Jintang's thoughts.

"Royal brother is very capable, please help me." Gu Junshen looked at Gu Jintang who was about to break apart and sighed helplessly.

"You! You just have too much fun!"

"I am still a young man. It won't be too late to consider this matter when I am the same age as my brother."

"Okay! I'll help you this time. I can only sound out the Queen Mother for you, but I can't guarantee what the result will be. You also know the Queen Mother's character." Gu Junshen said and took a sip of tea.

"I know!" Gu Jintang said with his head slightly lowered.

In fact, when he came to Gu Junshen for help today, he was not very sure, because he was not very sure about the current Queen Mother.

From childhood to adulthood, my mother has always attached great importance to power and has never changed a decision she made.

Once, he was confined to his room for half a year by his mother just because he took some time off from attending the lectures of the Grand Tutor.

Even though the Emperor Father advised that the punishment was a bit harsh, the Empress Mother still did not change her decision.

So he was trapped in the room for half a year. Apart from studying with the Grand Tutor and completing his homework, he could only stay in the room to read, eat and sleep.

"Of course, you don't have to worry too much. It's just that there are a few more wives in the mansion. It won't restrict your freedom much. You are still the master of the palace." Gu Junshen said.

"I know, my royal brother." Gu Jintang nodded.

"Come on, play a few games of chess with me. We haven't played against each other for a long time." Gu Junshen said immediately.

"My brother always wins, what's the point?"

"Haha, then you should be more serious!"

……

Mirror Moon Pavilion.

The Queen also rested for a while in this pavilion in the center of the Imperial Garden. Apart from appreciating the flowers, she also drank tea and ate desserts.

From time to time, I would hear some news from Caizhi.

"Your Majesty! Concubine Song and Concubine Pei just met the Emperor." Caizhi trotted over and said.

"What?" Chen asked in surprise when she heard this.

"How could the Song family be so lucky?"

She knew that the emperor would come to the Imperial Garden from time to time. She heard this from the servants, but she had never encountered it herself, not even once.

The emperor's schedule was not fixed, and she only came to visit during her free time, so she missed his visit many times.

Unexpectedly, this Song family met the emperor the first time she came to the Imperial Garden.

How did such enormous wealth come to her?

"But the emperor only stayed for a while and then left."

"Does the emperor have any important matters?" Chen asked in a deep voice.

"It seems like... Prince Huai'an is here." Caizhi said, carefully paying attention to the queen's expression.

When Chen heard that King Huai'an had arrived, her face revealed a look of remembrance.

"King Huai'an?"

Speaking of which, the Queen is Prince Huai'an's childhood sweetheart. The two often played together when they were young, and the Emperor often stood by and watched them like an older brother.

But after they passed the imperial examination, they could no longer meet each other casually, or they never met privately again.

Later, she married Gu Junshen as arranged by the empress dowager and became his concubine, becoming the current queen. She met him from afar at his concubine's wedding banquet.

"What is he doing here?" Chen asked calmly.

"I heard from the eunuchs in the Yangxin Palace that he just came from the Empress Dowager's place." Caizhi said.

She also knew something about the relationship between her mistress and Prince Huai'an. At that time, she thought that her mistress would marry Prince Huai'an and become his concubine.

Unexpectedly, the ending was beyond her expectations. Her daughter married the current emperor.

That was why she never mentioned King Huai'an in front of her young lady.

"Oh, so he must have visited the Empress Dowager and came to see the Emperor on his way there." Chen said, not caring at all.

"What happened to the slave I asked you to contact Su promised?"

"She is still sending people to contact her. The servant Su promised to follow her all the time. I really have no chance." Caizhi said.

"Then keep in touch!"
