The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

At 11:00 a.m. the next day, when Nan Xiang got up, Gu Junshen had already left.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and a slight blush tinged her fair face.

'Gu Junshen sometimes makes me feel safe! This makes me feel more at ease!'

From the moment Nan Xiang became pregnant, she knew that she had to take care of the baby in her belly by herself. The only role that Gu Junshen could play was to make her feel more relaxed and to protect her when so many concubines attacked her secretly.

"Caiyun! I'm going to sleep for a while! Call me at noon." Nanxiang said to Caiyun sleepily.

She got up at dawn because she hadn't gotten enough sleep.

Anyway, it’s not time to pay respects yet, so I should just continue to sleep and take care of the baby.

……

Listen to Xuetang.

A faint black shadow appeared between Su's eye sockets, which was extremely conspicuous.

"My lady! Would you like to sleep a little longer?" Lily suggested with some concern.

"I can't sleep!" Su said in a low voice, no longer having any strength left.

"My lady! Maybe the emperor will come to Tingxue Hall tonight. If the emperor sees you in this state, he will definitely..." Lily advised, but when she saw Su's cold eyes, she closed her mouth in dismay.

"Go and prepare breakfast quickly. Why are you pretending to be Zhuge Liang here?" Su's tone was cold and not polite at all.

Lily felt aggrieved for a moment. She obviously just wanted to comfort the young lady, but she didn't expect to be treated coldly.

At this moment, she attributed all the anger and resentment in her mind to the person in Wangyueju next door.

……

Jingren Palace.

On a sandalwood table in the corner of the hall stood a golden bronze unicorn incense burner, quietly emitting cloud-like smoke.

Caizhi came to the inner hall with a letter in her hand.

He walked up to Queen Chen, who was drinking Xinyang Maojian, and squatted down and said, "Your Majesty! The eunuch from Changshou Palace just brought a letter."

Chen's eyes flashed with joy when she heard that.

The leader took the letter.

"Stay back!"

"Yes!"

Only after seeing Caizhi walk out of the inner hall did she open the envelope and start checking it.

Chen looked at the information on the envelope and couldn't help but smile.

"My cousin is the one who has the idea!"

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After Gu Junshen finished his morning court session at noon, he stayed in the palace reviewing memorials.

I don't know when it started raining outside, the rain was pouring down like a fine woven net, and from time to time the fresh smell of rain water came into the inner hall.

"Your Majesty! The Queen requests an audience!" Liu Sheng came to Gu Junshen and bowed.

"Queen? What are you doing here?"

"Let her in." Gu Junshen frowned slightly.

The last time, Queen Chen secretly invited him to Jingren Palace to listen to the performance of the two concubines, which made him a little dissatisfied.

It’s not that he doesn’t like listening to music, it’s just that he had just heard so many of them at the banquet, and anyone would be bored if he listened to them again.

But Chen, the queen, didn't know it yet.

Seeing the queen coming forward, his eyes instantly became cold and distant, like ten thousand years of ice and snow, making it difficult for people to approach him.

Empress Chen didn't notice it, but squatted down with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"What are you doing here in the Yangxin Palace?" Gu Junshen asked with some impatience.

"The Queen Mother just told me that now is a good time to listen to opera and music, and she told me to make sure that the Emperor can relax physically and mentally while handling state affairs."

Gu Junshen's eyes flashed with interest when he heard this.

Although he was not very interested in watching plays and listening to music.

However, the most common entertainment to pass the time in the harem, and the one that the concubines like the most, is listening to and watching operas, which is particularly interesting.

Seeing the excitement in Gu Junshen's eyes, the Queen quickly said, "There is still too little entertainment in the harem nowadays. Last time, I invited Concubine Shu from Wangyueju to the Imperial Garden to appreciate flowers, and she said she was tired of it. I guess so, after looking at flowers for so many days, she is already tired of it."

The queen spoke slowly, and Gu Junshen, who was sitting on the dragon throne and listening, took a lot in this time. There was a mixture of coldness and tenderness in his narrow eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Then I'll leave this matter to my beloved concubine." Gu Junshen's tone and expression became a little gentler.

The queen was slightly delighted when she heard this, and immediately squatted down and said with a smile, "I obey your orders! Your Majesty is wise!"

Gu Junshen then said in a cold tone, "Okay. I still have to review the memorials. If the Queen has nothing else to do, please leave."

When the queen heard this, her smiling face suddenly turned colder.

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, with a complicated expression, and fell into silence.

"The concubine resigns!"

When she returned to Jingren Palace, the corners of the queen's clothes were almost soaked, and there were some messy hair on her temples.

"Your Majesty! Why don't you stay in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity for a while? Wait until the rain stops before returning to the palace!" Caizhi asked in confusion.

"The emperor is busy with something, and my presence would be a bit of a hindrance." The queen said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Caizhi couldn't help but feel a bit of respect for the queen. As expected of a queen, she could think so far ahead.

Seeing Caizhi's emotional face, Chen's eyes flashed with helplessness.

If she could stay in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, would she be willing to get caught in the rain?

Fortunately, the suggestion to the emperor to build a stage was adopted this time.

She also didn't expect that Song Nanxiang's excuse would be so useful. No wonder the empress dowager said in the letter that if she wanted the emperor to agree quickly, mentioning Song Nanxiang would have an unexpected effect.

Sure enough, when she made this suggestion and mentioned Song Nanxiang, the emperor agreed without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, a word from Song Nanxiang in the harem is much more useful than a word from her queen.

It's rare for a queen to end up like her. She basically has no real power.

……

Longevity Palace.

Queen Mother Chen, who had just finished worshipping Buddha, asked the maid who had brought the letter back, "Did it arrive?"

"Your Majesty! It has been delivered. The Queen has gone to the Yangxin Palace. I believe your proposal has been successful."

"Oh! That's good! I don't know how far the Queen can go alone if I'm not here?" The Queen Mother then said with some emotion, a sad look on her face.

When she first saw the queen, she knew that she was not a qualified candidate to be the queen. She was too simple-minded and not calm enough.

Although she has the demeanor of a queen, she does not have her inner strength.

But they, the Chen family, must have a female member who is the mistress of the harem of the current dynasty, so as to consolidate their position in the Northern Dynasty.

At that time, the current queen was the only one who was of marriageable age, so this was the only option.

"If the Queen Mother lives long, she will surely protect the Queen and make her life comfortable in the harem!"

"I hope so!"

……

Yufu Palace.

Song Wanru, who got up at noon, received a summons from the Queen.

Compared to the expectations I had a few days ago, I now have no ideas at all.

After letting Xiangcao quickly dress up, he walked towards Jingren Palace.

"Do you know why the Queen asked me to go?" Song Wanru asked, glancing at Xiangcao who was moving slowly.

"The maid doesn't know!"

"Don't know? Or don't want to say?"
