The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

Not only Gu Shijin, but the entire harem was shocked.

Recently, the emperor favors Gu Shijin and seldom visits other concubines. Last night was an important day, but the emperor did not go to Chenhua Palace. Instead, he favored a newcomer. Even if that person is the niece of the empress dowager, so what? They know that the emperor is not someone who can be threatened.

It’s really interesting. The harem is becoming more and more lively. Concubine Lan Shu thought about it and smiled.

"Your Majesty, this Concubine Feng is truly capable." Qiaohui whispered beside her.

Qiaohui now knows that her queen is no longer obsessed with the emperor's favor, so she speaks more boldly and is no longer afraid that the queen will get angry when she hears certain words.

"She is indeed capable." Concubine Lan Shu glanced at Qiao Hui, "She even dares to snatch Concubine Chen's favor."

"But Your Majesty, this Concubine Feng is really beautiful. I saw her this morning and she is as beautiful as the deceased imperial concubine." Qiaohui said in a low voice.

It was a coincidence that she went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do some work for the Empress today, and when she came back, she ran into Feng Zhaoyi's sedan chair. The scene was even grander than that of the Imperial Concubine.

"Even if she is not pretty, the emperor cannot immediately make her a Zhaoyi." Concubine Lan Shu said indifferently.

Zhaoyi is the main seat of a palace, and one cannot sit on it without some ability and background.

"Your Majesty is right. It has nothing to do with us anyway." Qiaohui smiled and gently massaged Concubine Lan's shoulders.

"Qiaohui is right. No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with us. We just need to watch the show."

The harem is about to become lively again, and Concubine Lan Shu is looking forward to it extremely.

There was a new Concubine Feng in the harem, and Empress Shangguan Yan was the first to know about it. Even before the Emperor had met Concubine Feng, she knew that a very beautiful woman had entered the palace.

Why the queen knew it but the emperor didn’t? It all comes down to the fact that men and women have different focuses.

As the queen, Shangguan Yan's thoughts were all on Lu Junze. It was impossible for a beautiful woman entering the palace to escape her eyes, especially when this woman entered the Cining Palace, she thought even more.

Therefore, Shangguan Yan was not very surprised to hear the news that the emperor had appointed a new Zhaoyi.

"Your Majesty, this Concubine Feng...is supposed to come to Fengyi Palace to pay a visit to you today." Yunzhi said cautiously.

It is the rule that a new person should come to Fengyi Palace to pay homage to the empress after being favored for the first time. Not to mention that Feng Zhaoyi is a new person who has just entered the palace, so she should come to Fengyi Palace even more. But today, not only did Feng Zhaoyi herself not come, not even a palace maid came to say hello.

Shangguan Yan was reading a book. She paused when she heard the words. She looked up at Yunzhi, and saw Yunzhi's body was cold. Then Shangguan Yan lowered her head, turned a page, and said, "The emperor personally sent her back to Yonghe Palace today. How could she have time to pay a visit to me? I'm afraid she didn't even think about this."

"Your Majesty, would you like me to go to Yonghe Palace?" Yunzhi asked.

"No need." Shangguan Yan waved her hand and said indifferently, "He will be back sooner or later. I want to see if this person really doesn't know the rules, or... is he just relying on the emperor's favor and becoming arrogant."

"Moreover, there are benefits to having Feng Zhaoyi enter the palace. I hope she can share some of Concubine Chen's favor. Otherwise, Concubine Chen will be the only one in power in the harem." Shangguan Yan said. For such a long time, Gu Shijin's favor has been as stable as a rock. Shangguan Yan was anxious and jealous.

"Your Majesty is wise." Yunzhi complimented, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"So we shouldn't offend Feng Zhaoyi now, and we can even win her over."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. No matter how favored Feng Zhaoyi is, she will never be the second Chen Guifei." Shangguan Yan has been in the palace for so many years, and he sees this very clearly.

If the Emperor really liked Feng Zhaoyi, he would not have sent Feng Zhaoyi back to Yonghe Palace with great fanfare today, causing Feng Zhaoyi to have enough hatred. Instead, he would have asked Feng Zhaoyi to come to Fengyi Palace early to pay her respects and plead guilty.

Look at how the emperor treats Gu Shijin. He considers everything from Gu Shijin's perspective, fearing that he will bring hatred to Gu Shijin. That is true love.

However, Shangguan Yan did not say these words. She still hoped that Feng Zhaoyi could block the knife and stab Gu Shijin fiercely. She would definitely not say these words.

"Okay, don't worry about Feng Zhaoyi. Just keep an eye on the reactions of the various palaces to this matter." Shangguan Yan said.

"Yes, ma'am."

Rong Fei was a little surprised when she knew Feng Zhaoyi. The emperor now spent less and less time in the harem, and she didn't expect that the emperor would actually appoint a Zhaoyi.

"This Feng Zhaoyi was probably someone the Empress Dowager sent to the Emperor." Concubine Rong said as she put on her makeup.

Ming Xia exclaimed, "Your Highness really knows the Emperor. It is said that this Feng Zhaoyi is the niece of the Empress Dowager."

"Pfft..." Concubine Rong couldn't help laughing. She turned to look at Ming Xia, "You said that this Concubine Feng is the niece of the Queen Mother?"

Ming Xia didn't know why her queen was laughing, so she nodded and said, "Yes, this is the news from the Cining Palace."

Concubine Rong waved to the others in the room and asked them to leave. When Ming Xia was the only one left in the room, she whispered, "You don't know, how could I not know?"

"The Queen Mother doesn't have such a niece at all."

The Empress Dowager's family background is relatively simple, but not many people know about it. It just so happens that Concubine Rong knows more about the Empress Dowager's family background. The Empress Dowager does have a niece, but not such a beautiful niece.

"Then... why did the emperor..." Ming Xia asked hesitantly.

Concubine Rong waved her hand indifferently and said, "No matter what the reason is, she is just a Zhaoyi and cannot climb over my head."

Anyway, the emperor rarely comes to her palace now. With the addition of Feng Zhaoyi, the one to worry about is Concubine Chen of Chenhua Palace.

Concubine Rong smiled again when she thought of this. The emperor was very good in giving her the position of Zhaoyi.

"Your Majesty is right." Ming Xia smiled.

"Just wait and see, the palace is about to become lively again." Several concubines in the palace had encountered accidents before, and the palace became quite quiet for a while. I didn't expect such a person to come out all of a sudden. It's really interesting.

Concubine Xian also received the news that there was a new Zhaoyi in the palace, but she didn't care about it at all. She just said "oh" and that was it.

Seeing this, her maid said nothing more and went on doing what she was supposed to do.

However, the appearance of Feng Zhaoyi dealt a heavy blow to the concubines of lower ranks.

For example, Zhou Xiuyi, who had just been promoted to Xiuyi.

Zhou Xiuyi was originally happy because her position had suddenly become much higher, but the appearance of Feng Zhaoyi poured a bucket of cold water on her.

"My lady, the emperor must have made her a Zhaoyi for the Empress Dowager's sake." Zhou Xiuyi's personal maid advised cautiously.
