"Ahem! My beloved concubine, why are you looking at me like this? But is there something strange on my face?"

Gu Junshen stretched out his sleeves, coughed slightly, and stood up. He glanced at Song Nanxiang lightly, feeling like a proud kitten asking for caress.

Nan Xiang immediately stood up and walked to his side, squatting slightly towards him and smiled softly, "I am naturally surprised that the emperor can come to my place. After all, there are many talented women and beauties who have appeared in the past few days!"

"My beloved concubine, what are you doing? You shouldn't perform formalities casually when you are pregnant. Haven't I exempted you from the ritual of kneeling and bowing? You don't have to perform formalities when you meet anyone in the future. Even the Queen Mother!"

Gu Junshen stared at Nan Xiang with his ink-black eyes without blinking, and it seemed as if his eyes could suck people in.

"In that case! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Nan Xiang smiled and pursed her lips slightly. When she raised her face, she did not notice Gu Junshen leaning over. His moist and soft lips brushed across her eyebrows and landed on the tip of her nose in a flash.

Gu Jun steadied his breath, then reached out and pulled Nan Xiang in.

He chuckled, a hint of unruliness flashing between his eyebrows, "You are so well-behaved and obedient, I can't help myself!"

"Your Majesty is joking!"

Nanxiang's red lips slightly parted in a faint smile, her peach blossom eyes as if filled with spring water, gentle and charming, seducing people without knowing it.

She didn't know what was wrong with Gu Junshen tonight. It seemed like he always wanted to do something inappropriate to her.

"I said mine." Gu Junshen's expression turned serious when he heard that.

It seemed as if he was dissatisfied with Nanxiang's disbelief.

Nan Xiang looked at Gu Junshen's slightly rolling Adam's apple and couldn't help but smile. Then she raised her head and looked at him gently.

"This guy doesn't seem that hard to catch? He just came to me on his own accord."

She didn't understand why Song Wanru did so many strange things.

Apart from being laughable and disgusting, it has no effect on gaining divine grace.

Sometimes, if you want to win a man's heart, you don't have to be overly proactive. You have to turn initiative into passivity and let him come to you on his own initiative.

……

Jingren Palace.

Queen Chen stared at the fair face of a woman in her twenties in the mirror and was stunned for a moment.

She married Gu Junshen when she was seventeen years old. It has only been eight years now. She is not even thirty yet, but she already feels the loneliness of staying alone in an empty room every day.

She was eager to have a child not only to consolidate her status and become the empress dowager, but more because she wanted spiritual comfort so that she could have someone to rely on even if the emperor did not come.

Unlike now, I can only laugh at myself in the mirror.

"Why doesn't the emperor have any affection for me?"

She murmured, looking a little erratic.

Today, Gu Junshen once again rejected her invitation in front of so many people. This was not a slap in her face, but stepping on her position as queen.

This was just a simple request, and she couldn't understand why Gu Junshen was so heartless to her.

The two men who agreed were probably already laughing at her.

"Caizhi! The emperor went to Concubine Shu's place again tonight, right?" Chen asked Caizhi.

"Yes, your majesty!" Caizhi said in a light tone.

"Sure enough! Today's banquet is just a formality!"

"By the way, have you delivered the things I asked you to give to Ru?"

"Your Majesty! I have already accepted it if you agree." Caizhi pursed her lips and smiled.

"Oh? What was her reaction? Did she blame me for blaming her?" Chen raised her eyebrows and said softly.

"Xiangcao replied that after Congru agreed to return to the palace, she has been staying in the palace, and seems a little sad. She is not dissatisfied with the queen."

……

Yufu Palace.

The moment the queen announced the end of the banquet, she ran back to her bedroom in shame.

She really felt that she was too embarrassed today.

Not only was she reprimanded by the Queen in front of so many female concubines, but she was also threatened with house arrest by the Emperor.

What unforgivable thing had she done?

I just played a love song for my beloved one.

Isn't this also possible?

"My lady! Your performance today has indeed won a lot of praise from people." Xiangcao said leisurely.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Song Wanru sneered.

She had recently discovered that Vanilla seemed to be becoming more enthusiastic towards her, compared to the initial perfunctory and dissatisfied attitude.

His current attitude seems to really treat her as his master.

"On the way back, I heard a lot of comments from the palace maids and eunuchs. They said that the young lady's performance was the most wonderful. It was quite a style of a master." Xiangcao said slowly, and the corners of her mouth began to rise involuntarily.

"Is it really so?" Song Wanru was a little surprised. She thought everyone would laugh at her. She was extremely desperate at that time.

"Oh, right! This is Biluochun sent by Caizhi, who is beside the Queen! She said it's an apology to the young lady. The Queen's tone has been a little serious today. I hope the young lady won't feel resentful because of this!" Xiangcao held up a box of Biluochun calmly with a smile on her face, like a lobbyist for the Queen.

Song Wanru frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure suddenly surged into her heart.

The queen first scolded her in front of so many concubines and female relatives in the harem, and now she is using such a good tea as Biluochun to apologize. She is really considerate.

Then she chuckled and said, "The Queen is the mother of the country! The blame at the banquet must be for my own good. Wouldn't it be bad if I accepted this gift again?"

"My lady, you are worrying too much. As the master of the harem, the Queen must have high hopes for you!"

When Song Wanru heard this, her face remained calm but her expression changed slightly.

"Every sentence of this Xiangcao's is about the Queen! She is really loyal! She must not have forgotten her former master."

She sneered in her heart, then smiled and said, "The Queen is so kind to me, I will definitely repay her in the future. Xiangcao, go make me some Biluochun!"

"I'll go right away." Xiangcao was slightly delighted when she heard that. She squatted down and went out with Biluochun.

……

Jingquan Palace.

An agreed to stare at the gate of Jingquan Palace, hoping that the eunuch would come to inform her that the emperor had turned over her name card.

After all, she saw the emperor looking at her many times today, so he must be interested in her.

The reason for rejecting the Queen must be because of something urgent.

An agreed to comfort himself in this way.

"My lady! The emperor has turned over the name of Concubine Shu." At this time, An's personal maid came out from the side door and said.

Hearing this, An Da Ying looked a little lonely and lowered his eyes.

……

Listen to Xuetang.

"My lady! The emperor really turned over the sign of Wangyueju next door." Lily walked to the inner hall with some joy and said to Su who was sitting on the couch drinking tea.

"Really?" Su's face showed a little joy.

When she thought that the emperor would have to come to her Tingxue Hall because Concubine Shu was pregnant, her cheeks turned red and she looked shy and nervous.

She held the teacup with both hands, drank it in one gulp, revealing a hint of determination.

"Lily! Prepare a bath for me! I won't let the Emperor down!"
