The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

At this time, Xiang, who was sitting next to Imperial Concubine Wang, had a gloomy look on her face and felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

It would be fine if Wang was more obedient, but the key is that she is not someone who can be obedient.

Whenever the concubines in the harem sent gifts that were too shabby or too ordinary, she would sneer and snort coldly, with a look of disdain.

The empress dowager, who was sitting in the main seat, always glanced at her from time to time. Even Leng could see the disgust and displeasure in her eyes, but Wang just acted as if nothing had happened.

Doesn't she think that she can become the focus of the audience like this?

Leng couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She didn't have Concubine Song's beauty, and she always acted like a spoiled child in front of the guests, which was a disgrace to a noble lady.

What Su gave to the empress dowager were two longevity sachets with exquisite embroidery and beautiful meanings. The fabrics and needlework used to make the sachets were particularly difficult. Nanxiang seemed to have used precious golden thread, and her craftsmanship was worthy of the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother seemed to like her very much, and taking advantage of Su's pregnancy, she praised her all the time in front of the guests, making the shameless Su lower her head in shame.

"Su is a man of rare talent with his clever hands and ingenuity. This man is also very beautiful and intelligent."

……

"Thank you for the praise, Queen Mother! I am unworthy of it!" Su stood up, bowed slightly and said with a smile.

Wang watched this scene from the side, her expression changing unpredictably. Although she looked down on Su's wallet, she could not say it out loud like the previous concubines did. No one knew whether the child in Su's belly was a prince or a princess.

If it was a princess, it would be fine. The eldest princess under her would definitely have a higher status. If it was a prince, Wang would still be a little afraid.

Seeing Wang's gloomy expression but not daring to speak, Nanxiang snorted coldly. Now she can't stand just an appetizer, then wouldn't she be worse off than dead after the banquet?

……

The gift given by Pei was also good, a pair of slightly transparent red jadeite with a dazzling red color, which was particularly eye-catching under the candlelight.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother nodded slightly and said, "Not bad! A very rare red jadeite. I like it very much."

Upon hearing this, Pei bowed slightly and said with joy, "It is my honor to be favored by the Queen Mother!"

After saying that, she immediately turned her gaze towards her general father, General Pei, who was sitting at the guest table across from her.

Looking at the new wound on her father's face, Pei couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although she had a thousand words in her heart at this moment, she could no longer speak freely as she did in the general's mansion.

Seeing her father giving her a reassuring look, Pei nodded slightly, thinking that she would chat with her father after the banquet.

The gift that Shangguan Qingyu sent was also a jade bracelet, but it was a nine-linked emerald green jade bracelet, which was extremely exquisite and immediately caught the curiosity of the audience.

"This is a nine-link jade bracelet that I asked someone to find among the people. These nine jade bracelets are made from the same piece of jade. As the saying goes, if you make the elixir through nine turns, you will achieve immortality. I wish the Queen Mother a long life!" Shangguan Qingyu's voice was clear and powerful, making people feel particularly comfortable listening to it.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother was overjoyed and immediately said, "Great! They are all good children! You are so thoughtful!"

Nan Xiang looked at the moved expression on the empress dowager's face and the smiling face of Gu Junshen beside her, and guessed in her heart that after the empress dowager's banquet, most of the concubines who sent sincere gifts would be promoted.

Even if he is not promoted, he will definitely receive rewards from the emperor.

At present, there are still few concubines in the harem, and the palaces they live in are enough. It is not a big deal to promote a few more of them. However, if it takes a few years, this will no longer be possible.

Next, the guests present presented gifts.

Each guest presented a gift that they had carefully prepared. The gifts were all different but all very sincere. For example, the Queen Mother preferred Buddhist beads and scriptures used for worshiping Buddha.

The Queen Mother's smile never stopped tonight.

The only one who has not sent a gift yet is Wang.

Nanxiang looked at Wang's calm demeanor and couldn't help wondering, did she want to be the last to appear?

If this is true, Wang's purpose tonight might not be achieved. She might even lose the emperor's favor and there is a great possibility that she will lose her position in the harem.

After a while, most of the guests present had presented their gifts.

At this time, Imperial Concubine Wang stood up gracefully, smiling and saying tactfully, "I am Imperial Concubine Wang of the Chengqian Palace. I am sending the Empress Dowager a birthday invitation that I have spent many days writing! There are thousands of different styles of longevity characters on this invitation. My hands were sore when I wrote it. I am still having a slight sore now, but it is worth it to complete the gift for the Empress Dowager."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar, even louder than when Nan Xiang took out the painting of goldfish leaping over bamboo.

"It's really rare that Wang has such a state of mind." Madam Yixiang exclaimed with surprise, having already put Nanxiang out of her mind.

"We are so ashamed of ourselves! This is probably the most sincere gift tonight." Mrs. Lingchuan couldn't help but shake her head, feeling ashamed of the gift she had given.

Suddenly, there were a lot of praises for Wang's virtuous character.

Upon hearing this, Wang couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and glanced at all the concubines present with pride.

It seemed to be declaring that the gift I gave was the best in the whole venue, and your gifts were not even up to par.

Then, with a smile on her face, Wang began to explain her mental journey in writing this longevity letter.

When Empress Dowager Chen looked at Wang, there was a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.

I thought to myself, I underestimated Wang. I didn't expect she would go to such lengths to celebrate my birthday.

Nanxiang looked at the expressions of surprise and admiration on everyone's faces. Although she was dissatisfied, she had already expected it.

If Wang wants to gain praise tonight, she will also inevitably lose a lot.

……

Gu Junshen, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but frown, and the doubts that had been left in his heart were also revealed at this moment.

It turned out that Wang took the longevity invitation that Song Nanxiang had carefully copied for a long time as her own gift.

When he thought of this, Gu Junshen's heart was instantly filled with an indescribable anger, and this emotion burned in his chest like a raging flame.

But he tried his best to endure it. After all, it was his mother's birthday and he couldn't do anything to disrupt it.

Nan Xiang, who was sitting at the table on the east side, also saw Gu Junshen’s face, which had become extremely gloomy, and she smiled secretly in her heart, thinking that her plan had succeeded.

It was worth it that she had carefully planned for more than two months, and finally let Gu Junshen see Wang's true face. Perhaps this would completely make Wang lose her position in Gu Junshen's heart.

You have to know that Gu Junshen is an extremely filial person. Once he knows that someone has done something dirty in the gift sent to his mother, he will definitely be unable to sit still.

Of course, Nanxiang could not be sure what kind of punishment Wang would receive in the end. After all, this kind of punishment could not be made public.

However, it is certain that Wang will fall out of favor, and the emperor's attitude towards her will inevitably change to extremes.
