Soon, the news of Su's promotion to Changzai spread throughout the harem.

Many eunuchs and palace maids in the harem sighed with emotion, thinking that this Su might be able to make a comeback with the help of her child.

Wangyueju.

Song Nanxiang, who had just woken up from a nap, learned from Caiyun that Su had been promoted to a concubine.

She couldn't help but chuckle, "The harem is finally bustling again."

This news was completely within her expectations, and she felt no wavering when she heard it.

Even if the emperor knew about her pregnancy, she would still be promoted, but she would probably lose the baby in her belly.

If she wants to go far and steadily in the harem, she still needs to have a child, no matter it is a boy or a girl, at least it can allow her to occupy a place in the emperor's heart.

Just like Concubine Wang of Chengqian Palace, because she gave birth to the emperor's only princess, she would be favored by the emperor from time to time.

Even when the princess was ill, the emperor visited her for months on end.

It can be said that in the past two years, the imperial concubine has served the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber more times than all the concubines combined.

This shows the influence that having a child has on a concubine.

After getting up, Nanxiang felt very hungry, so she asked Caiyun to prepare some food.

Caiyun chuckled after hearing this and said, "My lady, you eat four or five meals a day. Is that really not bad for your health? I noticed that you have become a lot rounder recently."

"Caiyun, my figure is so good, how can I be round?" Nanxiang retorted with a slight anger.

But she subconsciously touched her waist and found that it was indeed more fleshy.

After pregnancy, the body's secretion of various hormones will increase, and a large amount of food is needed to maintain the body's nutrition. It would be strange if you don't have a plump figure.

I don’t know if her belly can hold out for another two months. By then the pregnancy symptoms will become more intense and I can’t hide it any longer.

……

Listen to Xuetang.

After Gu Junshen was promoted to Huang's position, Su's bedroom was moved to the main hall, which was the main seat of Tingxue Hall.

If she hadn't gotten lucky enough to get pregnant this time, she would probably have wasted more than ten years in the harem without having the chance to live there.

At this time, several newly added palace maids and eunuchs were packing Su's luggage at her original residence in an orderly manner.

She did not bring much gifts, most of which were the rewards she received after entering the palace, and some were the brocade clothes that every concubine had.

Supported by Lily, Su slowly came to the main hall.

The main hall was three times larger than the bedroom she used to live in. The most important thing was that she had her own elegant room where she could entertain guests.

Su looked at these exquisite decorations and luxurious furnishings, touched her belly and murmured softly, "Child, these are all gifts you brought to mother, right?"

"My lady! The young prince must have felt that the place you lived in before was not comfortable enough, so he let you live in such a nice main palace." Lily said with a smile.

The promotion of her master this time also had a huge impact on her. First of all, she became the head maid of Tingxue Hall, mainly responsible for supervising the work of the maids and eunuchs in Tingxue Hall. She no longer had to do the dirty and tiring work. Also, her status in the eyes of the maids and eunuchs in the harem had risen.

Every time she walked out of Tingxue Hall, the palace maids and eunuchs passing by would call her "Miss Lily"

Especially the people in the imperial kitchen, every time she went there they would call her "sister", which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Moreover, the place where she lived had also changed. It was no longer the small side room as before, but a separate room for the head maid, which was several times the size of her original room.

"You just know how to make me happy!" Su said softly to Lily.

During the two months she was under house arrest, it was Lily who had always been with her, and from time to time she would tell her some funny stories she heard in the harem to cheer her up.

Although Lily is a little arrogant in her daily dealings with others, she does have a good heart. If it weren't for Lily's company, the baby in her belly might have been lost due to her depression.

Thinking of this, she took Lily's hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and said softly, "The emperor gave me quite a few nice jewelry. I'll give you some later. So you can change your outfit too."

Maybe it's because of Su's pregnancy, her attitude towards many things has changed a lot.

Just like Wangyueju next door, they were full of complaints and envy before, but now they feel a little pity for her.

It's a pity that she couldn't get pregnant even after sleeping with the emperor so many times.

"Now that I have a child that the emperor values, I will treat you better in the future."

……

At 5 pm, in Tingxue Hall.

Song Nanxiang, who had just finished her meal, suddenly received a message that the emperor had called her name.

She was a little surprised, after all, Su's family next door had announced that she was pregnant.

Why did he come to see her instead of accompanying Su?

Just a few hours after finishing her dinner at the hour of You, she felt hungry again, so she asked Caiyun to prepare some food.

Although Su was pregnant, the imperial kitchen's attitude towards Nanxiang remained unchanged. Perhaps they were just waiting and watching. After all, Nanxiang was now an extremely favored concubine and should not be easily offended.

"Caiyun! Help me clean up quickly." Nanxiang said to Caiyun.

Upon hearing this, Caiyun hurried over to help Nanxiang clean up, removed the food residue on the table, and brought her warm water for washing.

However, before Caiyun finished, she saw a figure in yellow clothes standing at the door.

Nan Xiang saw this and quickly signaled Cai Yun to stop. She bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty!"

"My beloved concubine, it's so late and you still want to eat. Are you a little greedy?" Gu Junshen looked at the tragic scene on the table in the room and couldn't help but smile and said.

"My appetite was not very good at twilight hour, so I didn't eat much. I was really hungry just now, so I asked the servants to prepare some food." Nanxiang explained while squatting.

"My dear, eat whatever you want. No need to explain to me." Gu Junshen chuckled and couldn't help but think that the woman in front of him was somewhat cute.

He originally planned to go to Tingxue Hall next door, but Su had just woken up and needed more rest. There was nothing for him to do there, so he came to Nanxiang's side. Unexpectedly, Nanxiang had just finished her meal.

Seeing the miserable expression of the man who was caught and begging for mercy, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"My dear, please stand up quickly! It will be bad if you hurt yourself by squatting." Gu Junshen said gently.

Seeing this, Caiyun also stood up, quickly cleaned up the remaining things on the table behind her, and then left the inner hall.

Seeing that the eyesore in the room was gone, Gu Junshen raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to pull Nan Xiang in front of him, put his arms around her waist, and stared straight into her eyes.

Nan Xiang was caught off guard by his action. She looked at Gu Junshen's beautiful eyes full of affection and said angrily, "Your Majesty! You hurt me!"

Gu Junshen touched Nan Xiang's waist and suddenly felt a special touch, soft and elastic. He then smiled and said, "My beloved, have you eaten too much? Your figure has become a little plump!"
