"Since you entered the palace at the order of the Queen Mother, I believe the Queen Mother has already made some arrangements for you." Chen looked at Song Wanru in front of her and asked softly.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has arranged me to the Yufu Palace." Song Wanru said with a smile.

"Yu Fu Palace? It's a nice place. I heard there's a stage there. It suits your temperament." Chen smiled lightly and understood the Queen Mother's arrangement.

Yufu Palace is only an alley away from Song Nanxiang's Wangyue Residence, which seems like a place where they can just stare at each other.

At that time, one party is favored, while the other party is watching with jealousy, which is very beautiful.

"By the way, what position did the Queen Mother give you?" Chen asked immediately.

"Although the Empress Dowager brought me into the palace, I am of humble origin after all, and the Emperor has not been informed yet, so she can only give me the promised position. But she did give me the title of 'Ru'!" Song Wanru said, looking unwilling but helpless.

"It's okay. Once you enter the palace, you will be our sisters. Your status will be raised with the emperor's favor." Chen painted a big picture for Song Wanru in a gentle tone.

Song Wanru smiled with relief after hearing this.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right!"

Yes, as long as she has the emperor's favor, there is no position she cannot obtain.

Maybe it won't be long before she surpasses Song Nanxiang and becomes the most favored woman in the harem.

As Song Wanru thought so, a triumphant smile appeared on her face.

"Here! This is my gift to you." Chen smiled and took a pair of gilded agate bracelets from the brocade box that Caizhi was holding.

She gently took Song Wanru's hand and put the gilded agate bracelet on her hand.

Song Wanru couldn't take her eyes off the bracelet as soon as she saw it. She was extremely happy.

She had never seen such a rare thing when she was in the Song Mansion.

"Sure enough, all the good things are in the palace!"

She secretly rejoiced, thinking that entering the palace was indeed the right choice.

She looked at the exquisite and luxurious bracelet in her hand with a graceful gaze, and felt even more respectful towards the queen.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!" Song Wanru squatted and saluted.

However, she saluted by just squatting slightly without making any gestures.

Caizhi on the side looked on with disdain.

"How can such a person compare to Concubine Shu?"

No matter who she is facing, Song Nanxiang is always polite, graceful, and dignified.

She couldn't help but begin to question the Queen and the Queen Mother's ideas, but she didn't say it out loud.

Chen also seemed a little unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face. She looked at Song Wanru in a casual manner.

"You're still calling me your servant?"

Song Wanru was stunned when she heard this, and after she understood, her face turned a little red with embarrassment.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!" she said while standing up.

"Yes! That's right!" Chen nodded.

"Oh, right. You don't have a personal maid in the palace yet, right? I'll send a good hand from Jingren Palace to follow you."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!" Song Wanru hurriedly expressed her gratitude after hearing this.

"Caizhi! Go and tell Xiangcao. From now on, just follow what Ru promised!" Chen said casually to Caizhi beside her.

"Yes!"

……

Wu time, Yangxin Palace.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to turn over the cards." Liu Sheng bowed deeply to Gu Jun and said.

At this time, Gu Junshen was frowning and staring at the memorial in his hand, completely immersed in his own thoughts.

Seeing this, Liu Sheng did not say anything to remind him. If he hindered the emperor's thoughts, he would be guilty of a serious crime.

After a while, Gu Junshen noticed Liu Sheng who had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the tea is cold!" Liu Sheng said respectfully with a smile.

"No need to add more. Let's go to Concubine Shu!" Gu Junshen said casually after hearing this.

"The slave obeys the order!"

Later, Gu Junshen first went to Tingxue Hall to visit Su who was pregnant.

Seeing that Su was in good condition and the fetus was stable, he smiled and said, "My dear! Rest well! I will come to visit you another day."

Su Shi's eyes were somewhat disappointed, and she asked with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty! Can't you stay here with me?"

"My beloved, the fetus is not yet solid. I am afraid that if I stay here it will have some impact." Gu Junshen heard this, his eyes showing tenderness.

Then he comforted Su in a kind voice for a while before walking towards Wangyueju where Nanxiang was.

Looking at Gu Junshen's departing back, Su's disappointment was fake, but her hurt was real.

Unexpectedly, even though she was pregnant with the dragon heir, it did not affect Song Nanxiang's love for her in the slightest.

"My lady! Don't be sad. When you give birth to a prince, the emperor will come to you day and night." Lily comforted her.

"Yeah!" Su felt much more relieved after hearing this, and now placed all her hopes on the baby in her belly.

Wangyueju.

Song Nanxiang was painting quietly in the study.

An hour ago, a eunuch from the Yangxin Palace came to report that the emperor had turned over her name card again.

Hearing this, she was not too surprised.

Ever since Su announced her pregnancy, Gu Junshen always went to visit Su next door under the guise of seeing her.

I thought, at this moment Gu Junshen was walking towards me from Tingxue Hall.

Gu Junshen is not in a hurry, so why should she be in a hurry?

"My lady! The emperor has turned over your name card. Don't you want to get ready? The maid in charge of the bedroom is already waiting outside." Caiyun walked up to Nanxiang in small steps and reminded her softly.

"Okay, I see." Nan Xiang replied calmly before putting down the paintbrush in her hand and picking up the painting she had just completed.

"Caiyun, look. What do you think of my painting?"

Nanxiang said this and showed the painting she had just completed in front of Caiyun.

I saw a flash of appreciation in Caiyun's eyes!

"Your Majesty! Your painting skills are becoming more and more sophisticated." She exclaimed with some admiration.

"Don't you see who your queen is?"

After saying this, Nanxiang placed the painting on the table to dry and then walked out of the study.

"Your servant greets Concubine Shu!" The nanny in charge of the bedroom bowed and greeted.

"Madam, you're so polite! Thank you for keeping me waiting!" Nan Xiang said with some apology in her tone.

"It is our blessing to serve Madam Shupin!"

"Okay. Thank you, Ma'am, for helping me with the bath." Nanxiang said, and walked to the bathtub next door which was filled with warm water with flower petals.

"Yes!"

Several maids bowed and followed Nanxiang into the side hall.

There was a rule in the Northern Dynasties' harem that when a concubine was promoted to the rank of concubine or above, she had to be bathed by the maid who served her in the bedroom.

I heard that this was to cleanse the concubines of filth and usher in splendor.

Nanxiang only found out about it after the maid came to tell her tonight.

You have to know that when she was a noble, the maidservant only needed to take a look and that was the end of her job, but now she has to do the troublesome work of bathing her.

After a while, the maid who served in the bedroom helped Song Nanxiang to bathe and then left, leaving Nanxiang alone to continue soaking her body.

Squeak!

Hearing the sound of the side hall door being pushed open, Nan Xiang frowned and said towards the door, "Hasn't Mammy already washed it? Do you want to wash it again?"

As the footsteps approached, Nanxiang felt a pair of rough and warm hands reaching out from her neck and slowly moving down, making her feel itchy.

Then a deep voice rang in her ears, "My beloved concubine needs to take a bath with me again!"
