The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

"Finally, she was able to reach the position of concubine."

When Queen Chen heard the news of Song Nanxiang's promotion from Caizhi, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Thinking back to when Nanxiang first entered the palace and was canonized, it was she who mentioned to the emperor about Song Nanxiang's position.

From the emperor's reaction at that time, she had already guessed that Song Nanxiang would definitely not be content with the position of a concubine in the future.

But she didn't expect Song Nanxiang to be promoted so quickly. She was selected to enter the palace in early February, and now it is only the beginning of summer, but she has been promoted from a maid to a concubine.

When she thought about Wang being confined because of Nanxiang's trap, she couldn't help but feel scared.

Then she couldn't help but complain that she was a failure as a queen.

"Your Majesty! Here is a letter from the Queen Mother." Caizhi took an envelope with a special mark from the eunuch.

"Oh? There's a letter from my aunt." Chen's eyes lit up when she heard that.

Last time, she also asked the Queen Mother about how to treat Song Nanxiang. Fortunately, the Queen Mother suggested that she change her target.

Otherwise, she might have been set up by Song Nanxiang.

She took the envelope from Caizhi, but did not open it. Instead, she walked to the bedroom with the envelope.

"Caizhi. You go out first." Chen glanced at Caizhi and ordered.

"Yes!" Caizhi bowed slightly and left the inner hall.

Every time Chen read the letter from the Empress Dowager, she would ask everyone to leave. This has been a habit for many years, and Caizhi has long been accustomed to it.

She only has about a year left before leaving the palace, and she doesn't want anything unexpected to happen.

After checking the empress dowager's letter in the bedroom, Chen smiled faintly and her eyes moved a few times.

"My aunt is an experienced person after all. Without her, I might not be able to keep my position as queen!"

……

Chengqian Palace.

"Empress! Eunuch Liu is here." Ningxiang walked to the inner hall and said to Wang who was sitting on the couch.

When Wang heard this, her expression changed slightly.

"Is the Emperor here?"

She looked at Ningxiang with hope.

Ningxiang shook her head slightly.

"Eunuch Liu brought an imperial edict!" Ningxiang said and waited for Wang's reply, not wanting to say more.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see what Eunuch Liu meant by the imperial edict in his hand, and she didn't want to anger Wang at this time.

Wang's method of punishing servants is comparable to that of Xiang in the cold palace.

Last time, she just broke a blue and white round-mouthed vase, and was beaten with fifty sticks by Wang. She had to stay in bed for two whole months. She was scared when she thought about it now.

"Imperial edict?" When Wang heard the word "imperial edict", her face turned pale.

"How could this be? Why would the emperor do this to me?" she asked in a deep voice.

As a royal concubine with a princess, being confined to her house was the greatest punishment for her.

She didn't understand why the emperor wanted to demote her.

At this time, Liu Sheng, who was standing outside the hall, was extremely anxious.

It was okay to let him wait for Song Nanxiang, after all, she was promoted and he could receive a heavy purse if he waited. Wang, who was waiting to be demoted, was not unhappy but more or less unwilling.

Moreover, Wang's attitude is no match for Song Nanxiang, who is always so domineering when speaking.

Fortunately, he doesn't work for Wang's company, otherwise he would be exhausted facing a superior who swears at you all the time.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Sheng saw Ningxiang with a sad face.

"I'm sorry, Eunuch Liu. My queen is feeling a little unwell." Ningxiang said apologetically.

Liu Sheng could understand the hidden meaning of Ningxiang's words. It was simply that Wang felt ashamed and was unwilling to come out to receive the imperial edict.

Liu Sheng snorted coldly and said, "In that case, Miss Ningxiang will take it on behalf of your young master."

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, summons: The Third Rank Imperial Concubine Wang of Chengqian Palace has failed in her moral conduct, deceived the Emperor, and has refused to repent. Therefore, she is demoted to the Fifth Rank Imperial Concubine, stripped of her title, and imprisoned in Chengqian Palace to reflect on her mistakes. I decree this!"

Liu Sheng's voice was extremely loud. After all, he had been with the emperor for many years and had already trained his voice to be good.

Wang, who was sitting on the couch in the inner hall, had already heard it. Every word Liu Sheng said was like a knife cutting into her heart.

When she finished reading it, her heart was already as painful as if it was bleeding, her face was pale, and she had lost her former glory.

With tears in her eyes, she kept repeating, "I'm sorry, father! I've brought shame to our family!"

"Miss Ningxiang, please take the imperial edict from your master." Liu Sheng said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu." Ningxiang squatted and bowed.

……

Soon the news that Wang was demoted to a concubine spread throughout the harem.

This news once again hit everyone beyond their reach, and they all didn't understand what was going on.

What unforgivable crime did Wang Shi commit that she was demoted by two ranks?

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After drafting Wang's demotion title, Gu Jun frowned and fell into deep thought.

In fact, he did not want to demote Wang's rank so much, but the Queen Mother was putting pressure on him.

He threatened to demote Wang to a nobleman in order to calm his anger.

But Wang was born into the Wang family of the Imperial Censors, and reducing the price by too much at one time would be a slap in the face of the Wang family.

Moreover, he still needed the support of the current Wang Yushi, so he was demoted to the position of concubine.

But even if only two people were demoted, the Wang family must be very dissatisfied.

There will definitely be another series of questions in the court tomorrow.

Now he is in a difficult situation, with the empress dowager putting pressure on him from above and people protesting from below.

……

Chaoyang Palace.

Huang was surprised when she learned that Wang was demoted.

According to the status of the Wang family, the censor of the previous dynasty, it should not have been reduced so much.

Because these concubines who were sent to the palace and came from official families represent the face of the family.

She guessed that this matter should be related to the Queen Mother, and Wang's family's wealth dropped so much at once, so the Queen Mother must have intervened.

Otherwise, the emperor would take the Wang family, the censor, into consideration and either not demote him or only demote him by one level.

"What mistake did Wang make?" Huang couldn't help but think.

She asked someone to check it out last night, but the answer she got was not satisfactory to her.

Of course she knew that this matter might be related to Song Nanxiang, but she had not found out what Song Nanxiang had done.

……

Wangyueju.

Ever since Chenshi was promoted to the position of concubine, Nanxiang's courtyard has been bustling.

After a while, eunuchs and palace maids came to congratulate and present gifts on behalf of their own mistresses or queens.

Nanxiang felt annoyed after hearing this, so she ran to the study and started reading.

At this time, Caiyun came running over and said excitedly, "Your Majesty! Wang was demoted. She was demoted to a concubine and her title was stripped away."

"Really?" Nan Xiang's face lit up when she heard that.

The dog emperor finally did something that made her happy.

If it was just to promote her position, this compensation would be a little insincere.

Demoting Wang to the position of a concubine was in line with her psychological expectations, and she would be quite happy about her promotion to the position of a concubine.

"Caiyun! Let's find some time to give this princess some advice!" Nanxiang said with a smile on her face.

There is a difference between a concubine with a title and a concubine without a title. In any case, Nanxiang's position is a little higher than Wang's now.
