Even though he was unwilling, Shen Nanqiao did not dare to act unruly in front of Nanny Xiao. He could only suppress his reluctance and bow to Shen Zhinian.

"See...See you, Rou agreed..."

Zhou felt even more aggrieved!

Her daughter is a legitimate daughter. If she hadn't given up this great opportunity, why would she have bowed to the lowly concubine's daughter of the past!

Nanny Xiao hated people who didn't follow the rules the most. Seeing Shen Nanqiao acting timid and unpresentable, she became even more displeased.

It's just that her duty is to teach Rou Ying the palace rules, and she doesn't want to care about irrelevant people.

Shen Zhinian certainly knew that when Shen Nanqiao was learning palace rules in her previous life, she suffered a lot at the hands of Xiao Mama and cried every day. She must have brought so many people here to laugh at her.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

She slowly stood up, with a graceful manner, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot that today is the day when my eldest sister returns home for the third day. What's the matter with my eldest sister coming here at this time?"

These words undoubtedly stabbed Shen Nanqiao in the heart again!

She stammered and was unable to utter a word. She could only make up an excuse with a feeling of resentment and left in embarrassment.

Zhou didn't see the joke and left with the other female relatives.

……

Although Shen Zhinian's manners were impeccable, Nanny Xiao still stayed in the Shen residence until the eighth day of September and explained the situation in the palace to her. During this period, the two of them developed some friendship.

When Nanny Xiao returned to the palace, Shen Zhinian gave her another big red envelope.

Handan asked curiously, "Young Master, you are the master, why are you so polite to a teaching nanny?"

Shen Zhinian lowered her head to admire her newly dyed light pink nail polish.

"The relationships in the harem are complicated. Since Madam Xiao has taught me with all her heart, I must make a good connection with her."

"Besides, she serves in the Imperial Court and has seen His Majesty more often than many concubines. It would be beneficial to befriend her."

In her previous life, Shen Nanqiao entered the palace as a noble lady, but never received the emperor's favor. This must be partly because her poor performance in the Shen family reached the emperor's ears.

Shen Zhinian naturally had to avoid this pit.

Handan nodded with sudden realization.

"My slave understands."

In the blink of an eye, it was the ninth day of September.

According to palace rules, she was allowed to bring two maids into the palace. Zhou wanted to give one to Shen Zhinian, but she refused on the grounds that she was used to being served by Handan and Fuqiu.

Even though she was unhappy, Zhou did not dare to lose her temper.

Her aunt died early, and Shen Zhinian was almost single-handedly brought up by Nanny Lin. The only person in the entire Shen family that she couldn't bear to leave behind was Nanny Lin.

"Nurse, if you want to enjoy your old age outside, as long as I am not out of favor in the palace, no one in the Shen Mansion will dare to treat you harshly; if you want to continue to stay with me, just be patient and wait, I will definitely find a chance to bring you into the palace!"

Nanny Lin's eyes were slightly red and her face was full of reluctance.

"I am not a talented old servant, but I am good at taking care of pregnant women and delivering babies. I will guard the yard for you and wait for the day when I can serve you again!"

After bidding farewell to her family, Shen Zhinian took the carriage sent by the palace, left the Shen Mansion where she had lived for sixteen years, and officially embarked on a new journey in life!

Looking at the solemn, majestic and magnificent Forbidden City, a hint of ambition emerged in Shen Zhinian's charming eyes!

No matter in her past life or this life, all she wanted was to enjoy a luxurious life and a noble status.

In her previous life, even if she married a poor scholar, she could still become a first-rank lady.

In this life, she married the richest emperor in the world. Shen Zhinian believed that she could also take control of the future and get everything she wanted!

Only those who reached the rank of concubine or above could be called "Niangniang" and occupy the main seat in a palace. The concubines below them could only live in the side halls on both sides of the main seat.

Shen Zhinian's residence is the right side hall of Zhongcui Palace, Tingyu Pavilion.

Everyone in the palace is a shrewd person. Even though Shen Zhinian is just a concubine, she is the only one with a title among the new ladies in the palace. The eunuchs who lead the way dare not neglect her and are very warm in their attitude.

"Your Majesty's Tingyu Pavilion is a good location, close to His Majesty's Imperial Study, and there is no Queen in the palace, so you don't have to go there to pay respects every day, and you can be more comfortable on weekdays."

Shen Zhinian indicated to Fuqiu that she had given him some silver as a reward, and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, eunuch, are there any other ladies living in Zhongcui Palace?"

After receiving the bribe, the eunuch who led the way became more respectful and told everyone everything he knew.

"My dear Lady Rou, the one living in the hall on the left is Lady Sun. She is an old lady in His Majesty's residence. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he conferred titles on the six harems, and she was conferred the title of a concubine."

"That Concubine Sun... likes to be lively and often hangs out with other ladies in the palace. I'm sure you won't feel lonely if you move into Zhongcui Palace."

Shen Zhinian understood.

She served His Majesty in the Qiandi Palace, but after His Majesty ascended the throne, she only got the position of a concubine. I guess she is not from a noble family and is not favored.

He likes to be in a lively environment and often visits other places, which means he wants to find a chance to run into Her Majesty. He is a restless person and may even cause trouble for her.

Those who have no status and position and are restless will not live long in the palace. The fact that Concubine Sun is still alive and well shows that she has some means and is not as stupid as she appears.

Shen Zhinian had a general understanding of this new neighbor.

Soon, the group arrived at Tingyu Pavilion, and the eunuch who led the way paid his respects and then left.

Although this is only a side hall of the Zhongcui Palace, the decorations inside are exquisite and elegant, far beyond what the Shen Mansion can compare to, and the area is much larger than Shen Zhinian's room in the Shen Mansion.

Handan couldn't help but sigh: "My lady, no wonder people say that the most magnificent treasures in the world are all in the Forbidden City! If a side hall is so exquisite, how magnificent must the other places be!"

Shen Zhinian looked up and raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.

In her previous life, she married into the Lu family, and the whole family was crowded into a small courtyard. Even when she turned over at night, the sound could be heard by the neighbors. It leaked when it rained, it was hot and stuffy in the summer, and the cold wind blew into the room in the winter.

After living this kind of life for just a few months, Shen Zhinian was exhausted and looked several years older than his peers.

In this life, she lives in a spacious palace, with palace servants serving her when she goes in and out, and she enjoys the most beautiful and comfortable life!

Shen Nanqiao is eager to endure hardship, so let her endure the hardship of the Lu family.

An ordinary eunuch and two palace maids were waiting outside. Seeing Shen Zhinian nod, Fuqiu let them in to pay their respects.

"Minion Xiao Mingzi."

"Your servant Chunhua."

"Your servant Qiuyue."

"Greetings to Miss Rou, may the Miss Rou be blessed!"

Shen Zhinian didn't know if there were any spies arranged by others among these three people. But since she had just entered the palace, this was unavoidable, and she could only observe slowly in the days to come.

She sat in the main seat, looking up at them, her expression dignified without anger.
