Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

She stood up again, then slowly sat down again, her heart surging with emotion: "Is the Emperor already in Hibiscus Palace with the newly brought-in beauty?"

There was a hint of doubt and uneasiness in her words.

Furong Palace, this name was changed by the emperor himself, and the profound meaning is self-evident.

Why was it named "Hibiscus"? Was it because of the woman's beauty, as pure and elegant as a lotus? She asked herself, but no one could answer.

The servants in the palace had just heard the news and hurried over to report it.

The Queen spoke again, a hint of anxiety in her voice: "Where is the Imperial Concubine? Doesn't she have deep feelings for the Emperor? Why hasn't she come to inquire about him now?"

The palace servants looked at each other in confusion, as no one knew the imperial concubine's whereabouts.

The queen stared at the palace maids outside the palace with a sharp gaze.

At the same time, in the imperial concubine's bedroom, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

The imperial concubine was holding a cat in her arms. When the cat tried to move, she held its neck tightly.

The shrill meowing sound echoed in the palace, making people feel pity.

She stroked the cat's back gently, and only after it calmed down did she slowly let go and continue listening to the reports from her servants.

"The emperor has returned to the palace." This news spread quietly in the palace, but no one dared to mention it easily.

After hearing this, the imperial concubine's beautiful and proud face showed no expression. She just sat up straight with a look of lightning.

"Your Majesty, the specific situation..." The kneeling palace maid hesitated to speak, obviously having some concerns.

"If you have anything to say, feel free to speak directly." The imperial concubine's voice revealed unquestionable majesty. "Who did the emperor bring back to the palace?"

"A woman." The palace maid finally chose to confess.

When the news was confirmed by the palace, the entire harem began to discuss it privately, but did not dare to talk about it openly.

Although the concubine was puzzled, she remained calm and dignified on the surface: "Which woman? Who is she? Why did the emperor bring her back to the palace?"

Every word and every sentence reveals the unusualness and complexity of this palace turmoil. And what secrets and emotional entanglements are hidden behind all this?

No one knows, only time can reveal the answer.

"The Queen must know something about this, but she hasn't revealed any of her intentions."

The imperial concubine's heart was filled with displeasure and doubts, and she felt extremely dissatisfied and suspicious.

She speculated endlessly about the Queen's behavior. Was she trying to bring in an outsider to rival her? Did she think any woman could rival her? The struggle between them had been going on for a long time.

The imperial concubine has always looked down upon the queen, feeling that she is always pretending to hide her true intentions.

In her heart, the position of queen should belong to her, and she was once more favored by the emperor than the queen.

At this moment, she once again tightly grasped the cat in her arms. The cat's cry was shrill and piercing, as if expressing its despair.

Her grip tightened, and the cat's cry became even more miserable.

A trace of determination flashed in the imperial concubine's eyes. She suddenly let go and watched the cat run to the side to escape.

Seeing this, the palace maid immediately stepped forward and caught the cat.

"Your Majesty." The palace maid called softly.

The cat's meowing continued, making the imperial concubine feel irritated.

She watched all this coldly, not wanting to hear this unpleasant voice again.

She decided to give the cat the "punishment" it deserved, and would torture it to death and then bury it.

"Who is the new woman in the palace? What kind of woman is this woman I brought back to the palace? I need to know clearly."

The imperial concubine ordered coldly, her tone revealing a determination that could not be ignored.

The palace servants responded immediately and began to secretly inquire about the origin and identity of the new concubine.

The imperial concubine stared ahead with a determined gaze, her heart filled with complex emotions - fear of losing favor and anticipation for new challenges.

"Go and find out. Be sure to keep it confidential and don't let anyone know, especially the Queen. At the same time, secretly investigate the whereabouts of the Emperor." The Imperial Concubine ordered again.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace servants responded respectfully, and they carefully carried the cat away.

The imperial concubine fell into deep thought alone. The women in the palace had long lost their novelty to the emperor, which led to the emperor bringing back a new person.

So when did the emperor meet this woman? He had an affair with a woman outside the palace without her knowledge...

All this made her angry and upset.

Her heart was filled with the urge to meet the emperor, but her pride and self-esteem forced her to face it all.

She wanted to understand who this new woman was so she could decide whether to make friends with her or confront her.

If this foreign woman has no status, then she is nothing in her eyes.

The most important thing is to see the emperor’s attitude.

But I heard that the emperor personally changed the name of the palace? What is the hidden meaning behind this?

Deep in the palace, the emperor's sudden appearance and direct entry into the palace will surely become common knowledge soon.

In response, she chose to keep a low profile, preferring to wait for the Queen's reaction.

She was not in a hurry to be the first to know the news, but chose to wait for the Queen's action.

The Queen has always been tolerant and generous, and she will definitely take action.

She stared intently at the direction of Hibiscus Palace, anticipating any reaction from the Queen.

When the Queen takes action, she follows closely.

For now, she has chosen to remain silent and refrain from any rash actions. I believe others are also waiting and watching, just like her.

The Queen Mother waited for a while and saw that the Imperial Concubine did not move. As the master of the harem, she could not do nothing.

When the emperor brought a woman from outside into the palace and arranged for her to live in Hibiscus Palace, she should ask or express welcome even if the emperor did not mention it.

So she adjusted her attitude and decided to directly summon the new palace master Zhang.

At this time, Zhang Tianai heard someone greeting her.

Seeing that it was Eunuch An who came to see her with a young eunuch, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Eunuch An, it's been a long time since we last met. How are you? I didn't expect to see you again in this palace."

This is such an unexpected coincidence.

Eunuch An waved his whisk and replied with a smile, "Miss Zhang is now Master Zhang. Although the Emperor has not officially bestowed a name upon you, everyone knows that your status is extraordinary."

He sighed, he had predicted long ago that the emperor would bring Master Zhang into the palace, and now that it had come true, he sighed again in his heart.

Yesterday, the emperor asked which palace was better and closer, and Eunuch An knew that the emperor wanted to change the name of his new favorite - Furong Palace.

He agreed without hesitation because the name was very suitable for the master.

In the palace, there are very few people who can receive such treatment from the emperor.

At this moment, the news about Master Zhang has spread in the palace - perhaps it has already spread, because the emperor did not deliberately conceal the news.

"Your Majesty has asked me to select another young eunuch to serve you," Eunuch An continued. "I think it would be best to bring him to see you in person. After all, you need a capable errand runner by your side."

"This young eunuch has arrived at the right time. If Master Zhang has any orders in the future, he will be the one to carry them out. He does not need to bow to Master Zhang and greet him. This is the rule."

Eunuch An spoke again, his tone revealing majesty and solemnity.

He gave instructions to the eunuch in a sharp voice, waving his whisk and emphasizing, "It is a great blessing for you to be chosen to serve Master Zhang."

Everyone's eyes were focused here, listening quietly. Eunuch An continued, "Step forward and bow to the master to show your respect."

The young eunuch reacted quickly and immediately obeyed the order, bowing respectfully.

Although he has an ordinary appearance and a strong physique, his movements are quick and neat.

Eunuch An nodded with satisfaction and commented, "Although this young man is not outstanding, his honesty and dexterity are impeccable."

"Of course I believe what you say. No need to be so polite. Get up. From now on, you will stay here." Master Zhang responded gently.
