The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

At night, at the hour of Xu.

Song Nanxiang stopped writing with the brush in her hand.

Today's field trip finally gave her some inspiration, and she has already painted all of it on rice paper, but she hasn't colored it yet. At this point, there's just a light outline on the paper.

Painting is never something that can be accomplished overnight; it takes time.

After putting the traced drawing aside to dry, Song Nanxiang started copying the Wanshou Tie.

There is only a little bit left of the Wanshou Tie, so I'll finish it by the way.

This way she could concentrate on painting the picture of the golden carp biting the bamboo.

After a while, Nanxiang put away the dried tracing drawing and called out to Caiyun.

"Caiyun!"

Caiyun came in trotting with her mouth puffed up and chewing something.

She swallowed hard and said, "My lady? What's the matter? The emperor didn't turn over your card tonight. He turned over Shangguan Changzai's."

Hearing this, Song Nanxiang was a little surprised, but she did not reveal too much modesty.

I just feel that Pei is still a little unlucky.

This time, Shangguan Qingyu unexpectedly gained the emperor's favor.

"Go ask someone to get some hot water for me. I want to take a bath." Nanxiang said, her tone not affected by Caiyun's words at all.

Caiyun walked out of the inner hall somewhat confused.

"Master, didn't you say you were going to take a break today and not take a bath?"

However, Caiyun still did it after she went out.

……

Jiaofang Hall.

Shangguan Qingyu, lying on the bed, felt like she was dreaming. She had been waiting for the emperor in the imperial garden but he never showed up, so she returned to the bedroom in disappointment.

But in the evening, the eunuch from the Yangxin Palace brought news that the emperor had turned over her name card.

She was not a person who liked to compete for favor but was more concerned about her reputation. She just couldn't accept Su sleeping with her before her, so she had the following series of reactions.

But it would be a lie to say that she was unhappy when she learned that she was the one who turned the card. Which concubine who entered the palace didn't want to be favored?

Maybe she is not a bad person, but the emperor has never remembered her.

……

The next day, Song Nanxiang sent her servants to give Shangguan Qingyu some of the jewelry she had selected.

As the emperor's women, sending gifts and blessings is basic etiquette. Just like every time she sleeps with the emperor, other concubines will send some gifts to express their congratulations.

But she didn't know if the jewelry accessories that she had just accumulated in the warehouse would run out if she continued to do so.

After getting up at the hour of Mao, she began to copy the last few strokes of the Wanshou Tie.

Finally, I finished copying it after an hour.

After checking again and finding no problems, she sorted it out and asked the notebook to be handed over to the imperial concubine.

She no longer wanted the imperial concubine to praise her, but just hoped that she would not use some shameful means to deal with her.

She would be really tired if that happened.

After finishing, Nanxiang took Caiyun and Kikuhei to the Qingzhu Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, intending to watch the scene of the golden carp playing in the water again and then perfectly display the brilliance of the golden carp.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at Qingzhu Pavilion, she saw Gu Junshen, who had tortured her countless times at night.

Gu Junshen was reading a book leisurely, sitting upright, his eyes fixed on the book in his hands.

The breeze in the bamboo forest would occasionally ruffle the strands of hair on his temples, and Nanxiang's heart would beat faster as she watched.

"Why does this dog emperor look so good?" Nanxiang murmured.

Then she regained consciousness, but it was just okay, far from perfect.

So she turned and left.

"My lady! Aren't you going to meet the emperor? What a rare opportunity." Caiyun said with some confusion.

"What hello?" Nan Xiang said casually, and her pace quickened a bit.

Caiyun followed behind with some confusion.

Kikuhei smiled slightly at this.

As soon as she walked out of the imperial garden, Nanxiang saw several palace maids and eunuchs wearing coarse palace robes and with tired faces. They were carrying toilets. Some of the palace maids even had marks of whipping on their faces.

Song Nan looked at one of the palace maids and felt she looked very familiar, but he just couldn't remember her for a moment.

When she saw Xiao Linzi beside her, she finally remembered that this person was Qingzhu, Yuan Xiang's personal maid.

The Xiang family incident was left unresolved, which is indeed full of questions. The emperor did not seem to have made any further response to the Xiang family.

Looking at Qingzhu's current appearance, Nanxiang did not have any extra emotions in her heart. After all, he was just a person who betrayed his master.

When Qingzhu raised her head slightly, she saw Song Nanxiang's beautiful eyes looking at her carefully.

She then squatted down and said in an apologetic tone, "This servant greets Lady Song. I wish you all the best."

"Do you still remember me?" Nanxiang asked.

"I can recognize that you are kind-hearted." Qingzhu said softly.

"You don't seem to feel wronged at all? You did this for others, but she didn't save you." Nanxiang asked puzzledly.

"She and I were just making a deal. In the end, I got what I wanted. It's a pity that Xiang was not executed in the end!" Qingzhu said with hatred on his face, but his face also looked regretful.

Nan Xiang thought to herself, "As expected! There must be someone behind Qing Zhu, but that person is not Xiang. Xiang is just the one they are dealing with together."

"Are you wondering why I am like this?" Qingzhu said softly as he looked at Nanxiang's frown.

"I am a little confused, but I think there is a reason. No one would do something for no reason, it must be for some reason or purpose." Nanxiang said.

"Your Excellency is really smart! I believe you have known for a long time that the princess was not poisoned by Xiang's orders." Qingzhu said.

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. The evidence is indeed sufficient." Nanxiang couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Excellency, do you want to know the reason?"

Nanxiang nodded. No one would not be interested in gossip.

"I wonder if Concubine Song has ever heard of that ridiculous 'legend' in Xianfeng City." Qingzhu's eyes revealed a hint of sadness. Talking about this incident seemed to have uncovered the scars she had hidden for many years.

"Of course I have heard of it. I heard that the maid was beaten to death for committing adultery in the mansion." Nan Xiang recalled briefly.

"Fornication? What a joke!" Qingzhu snorted.

"Who was the adulterous person, Xiang or that maidservant?" Qingzhu continued slowly.

"Is this the reason? But how did you know?" Nanxiang asked.

"Because the maid who was rumored to have committed adultery and was beaten to death was my sister Chunlan!" Qingzhu said with hatred.

Nanxiang was stunned when she heard this. This was really karma.

But if this is really the reason, the punishment Xiang received was too light. No wonder Qingzhu was so indignant.

"Can you tell me who is behind you?"

"Although she ordered me to do things, she did me a favor. I can't say it." Qingzhu shook his head.

"She said that as long as I do something for her, she can fulfill my wish. And my wish is for Xiang to die."

"Why would Xiao Linzi help you? Was he also arranged by that person to be by my side?" Nan Xiang glanced at Xiao Linzi beside her and said with a frown.

She never cared about other people's affairs, she just wanted to know whether Xiao Linzi was arranged to come here.

Qingzhu glanced at Xiaolinzi and said, "That's right. He was also arranged by that person. But he volunteered."

Xiao Linzi had a sad look on his face, and his eyes showed regret, unwillingness, and helplessness.

"I understand." Nanxiang sighed helplessly.

She knew that even if Xiao Linzi was not arranged by someone else, there would be someone like Xiao Linzi around her sooner or later.

"Xiao Linzi thanks the young master for your care during those days!" Xiao Linzi kowtowed and said apologetically.

"Our relationship as master and servant has ended! Take care of yourself!"

"By the way, Qingzhu! If you tell me who is behind this, I can help you get rid of the Xiang family! And truly fulfill your wish. Let your sister live comfortably down there. When you have thought it through, you can come to Wangyueju to find me." Nanxiang squatted down, slightly turned her body, and spoke softly to Qingzhu with a smile on her face.

She believes that there is no such thing as someone who sticks to the bottom line, it’s just that the chips given are not enough.

When Qingzhu heard this, his originally dim eyes began to glow with a faint fluorescence.
