Song Wanru had a faint smile on her face and glanced at Song Nanxiang, who was sitting below the queen, with a look of pride.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen! May Her Majesty be blessed with good health!" Song Wanru squatted down and spoke in a friendly tone towards Chen who was standing in front of the hall.

"If you promise to stand up!"

"Haha! If she agreed to help the Queen Mother complete a good task, the Queen Mother would be so happy that she would allow her to enter the palace. But I forgot to inform you sisters." Chen's tone was slightly apologetic, but her face was full of smiles.

Nanxiang couldn't help but sigh when she heard Chen's tone. She didn't know whose interests had been affected that required help from outside to deal with her.

She looked indifferently at Song Wanru, who was standing in front of her with pride in her eyes, and hesitated for a moment.

"Inviting such a 'noble lady', do you look down on her?"

When Nanxiang was in the Song Mansion, she learned a lot about her eldest sister from her original body's memories. She always did things according to her own preferences.

Once, she heard from her servants that when Song Wanru saw the handsome son of the county magistrate next door, she became so dazed that she couldn't walk, and threatened to marry him, which made the Song family be ridiculed for a while.

I don’t know how this living Bodhisattva came into the palace now.

Chen smiled at the pretty girl in front of her and gestured to the virtuous concubine in front of her on the right.

"Hurry and meet all the sisters present here! On my right is the virtuous concubine Huang."

Upon hearing this, Song Wanru knelt down and greeted Huang, saying, "I am here to see Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort! Hello, Her Majesty!"

"If you agree, it will be polite."

The smile on Concubine Xian's face appeared the moment she saw Song Wanru.

Although Song Wanru is not as beautiful and dignified as Song Nanxiang, she is still quite charming.

Ever since Song Nanxiang was promoted to the position of concubine, she has become increasingly uneasy about her current position.

You must know that Nanxiang is the fastest promoted concubine in the harem now, and it is very likely that she will surpass her in the near future. How can she not be worried, but she can't think of a way to deal with it for the time being.

Now that such a charming girl like Song Wanruo has come, maybe she can compete for Song Nanxiang's favor.

"The one on my left is...Shupin!"

When Chen mentioned Nanxiang, she paused halfway through her sentence and almost blurted out "your half-sister".

Upon hearing this, Song Wanru looked directly at Song Nanxiang and smiled triumphantly at her, as if to say, "Look! Now I'm also in the palace!"

"I pay my respects to Concubine Shu! Hello, Your Majesty!" Song Wanru said softly, squatting slightly.

Before Nanxiang could reply, Song Wanru, who had just squatted, stood up subconsciously.

Nanxiang couldn't help but sneer when she saw this.

"I learned this etiquette from a dog!"

After all, he was used to a carefree life in the Song Mansion, and now that he has entered the palace, he can't even learn the basic etiquette rules.

The concubines present frowned slightly upon seeing this, looking a little confused.

It stands to reason that someone who can serve the Queen Mother should not be so ignorant of etiquette. Why does this Ru Daiying seem to have never learned the rules?

Before serving the emperor, they had all learned the harem rules for seven days and practiced etiquette and greetings every day.

When a concubine of a lower rank bows and greets a concubine of a higher rank, she must kneel down respectfully and greet with dignity and grace, and she must not smile too much when bowing...

Then Nan Xiang said coldly, "If you agree, you really have no rules at all?"

When Song Wanru heard this, she was slightly stunned and her smile immediately disappeared.

"I don't know, please teach me, Concubine Shu!" Song Wanru's face suddenly became displeased, she squatted slightly, and said in a somewhat arrogant tone.

"Empress! Is this the one you invited into the palace? Have you learned the rules?"

Nanxiang ignored Song Wanru, but smiled faintly and asked Chen in a deep voice.

Chen's face became uncertain when she heard this, and her gaze towards Song Wanru became more serious. She didn't expect that Song Wanru couldn't even learn these few rules. She was completely embarrassing her and even the empress dowager.

If the Queen Mother knew about this, she might...

Then, she tried hard to smile, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"I will enter the palace only if I agree. I have not yet learned many rules. I am sorry to have made you sisters laugh."

"You haven't learned the rules yet? According to the rules of the Northern Dynasty's harem, concubines who have not learned the rules need to learn the rules for seven days before they can come to pay their respects! I didn't know that the harem is so without rules?" Nanxiang sneered.

Although the voice was small, it was particularly harsh, causing Chen, who was sitting in the main seat, to change her expression again and again.

She is the queen, but now she is taking the lead in breaking the rules...

Yesterday, Chen asked Caizhi to ask the nanny to go to Yufu Palace to teach Song Wanru some etiquette, and required that she must learn some rules so that she would not be timid when paying respects today.

This morning, the nanny came to tell her that Song Wanru had learned the basic etiquette rules well enough, so she felt at ease to let her come over to pay her respects and go to bed with her earlier.

Who would have thought that Song Wanru couldn't even do this, and was labeled as violating the rules.

After hearing this, Song Wanru looked a little flustered.

"I forgot the rules for a moment! I hope the Queen will forgive me!"

Upon hearing this, Chen sighed repeatedly in her heart.

Song Wanru is really inflexible. The person she just greeted was Shupin, and it was Shupin who should have apologized, so why did it become her turn?

Nan Xiang smiled lightly and said softly, "You really don't know any rules at all! Queen, what do you say we should do?"

"Since you are being unreasonable to Concubine Shu, then let Concubine Shu decide!"

"That's good! It would be bad if I overstepped my authority!"

After getting the Queen's approval, Nan Xiang smiled kindly towards Song Wanru who was in the center of the main hall.

When Song Wanru saw Nanxiang's smile, she felt something was wrong. Her face turned pale and her eyes looking at Song Nanxiang were full of pleading.

"I was impolite for a moment! I hope Madam Shupin will forgive me!"

Nanxiang sneered.

"You didn't have that attitude just now, did you? Aren't you very arrogant?"

"If she fails to behave properly in front of the palace, I will order her to copy the "Female and Female Training" fifty times each and complete it within seven days! At the same time, she will learn etiquette in front of my Wangyueju Palace for three hours!"

"Please forgive me, Concubine Shu!" Song Wanru begged while kneeling on the floor.

What annoyed her most when she was in the mansion was the "Female Rules and Female Taming". There were many words and the article was long. If she copied it fifty times, her hands would break.

"If you agree, will you come to my palace by yourself, or should I send someone to invite you? Or should I inform the emperor that you have learned the rules of the harem very poorly... and order you to leave the palace!"

Every word Nan Xiang said felt like a needle stabbing Song Wanru's chest.

Song Wanru's purpose of entering the palace was not for the emperor. If she left the palace, it would be even more impossible for her to surpass Song Nanxiang.

So she endured the grievance and said to Nan Xiang, "It's my elder sister who doesn't know the rules! I hope my younger sister will forgive me!"

"There is only Shupin in this harem! There is no your sister! Please promise not to make random relatives!" Nanxiang said sternly, with no mercy in her tone.

She was indeed not Song Wanru's sister. The real Song Nanxiang was dead, starved to death by her family.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly strange, Chen immediately gave Song Wanru a few glances, asking her to admit her mistake quickly.

Song Wanru was not a dull person. She understood what the Queen meant and squatted down properly immediately.

"I will do as Concubine Shu said!" Song Wanru said while biting her tongue, looking at Song Nanxiang with increasingly resentful eyes.
