Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

"I heard from His Majesty that the new sister who entered the palace has extraordinary charm. He needs her company for the time being. Come and join me later."

The queen narrated calmly, her tone revealing some helplessness and magnanimity.

The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows slightly, a sharp light flashing in her eyes. She said, "Oh? The emperor has made such an arrangement?"

The Queen sighed softly, seeming a little embarrassed: "In the harem, the Emperor's whereabouts are uncertain, and we must understand."

The appearance of newcomers seemed to break the original tranquility.

When the two ladies are together, the emperor always prefers to go with the imperial concubine - this has become a tacit understanding.

Although the queen was somewhat unhappy, she knew that this was the palace rule.

"Have you sent anyone to inquire about the whereabouts of the Emperor and her?" the Queen asked softly, with a hint of concern and curiosity in her voice.

The imperial concubine opened her red lips slightly and stroked her forehead with her fingers: "This new sister who entered the palace is indeed not simple."

There was a complex emotion revealed in his words.

The queen didn't say much, but everyone around her knew it.

It is rare for a new woman to attract the emperor's attention so quickly.

Concubine Shu suddenly interrupted, "Our new sister should come and pay her respects to the Empress. Once she enters the palace, she becomes a member of the harem. How can she ignore the rules?"

Concubine Shu was dressed simply but elegantly, with a bright appearance, giving people a feeling of being friendly and intelligent.

Her words livened up the atmosphere.

The Queen and the Imperial Concubine looked at each other, both knowing that a storm was about to break out in the harem.

Although Concubine Shu said a lot, every word she said made sense, and one cannot help but admire her intelligence and wit.

"I just hope to take this opportunity to let everyone see the charm of this new sister." Shufei continued, her voice echoing in the palace, as if foreshadowing the coming changes.

Outside the palace walls, people may have different origins and backgrounds, but within this palace, the boundaries of identity and status are particularly blurred.

Shufei's bitterness may have come from her doubts and speculations about the unknown. She knew nothing about the woman, her background, or her connections outside the palace.

Although the Empress Dowager had similar thoughts to Concubine Shu, she had to put the overall situation first and maintain the dignity and majesty of the royal family.

Her words revealed her curiosity and exploration of the woman.

The Imperial Concubine expressed her views in a more tactful way.

Afterwards, the Queen Mother ordered to go to the Emperor's bedroom.

Her decision attracted everyone's attention and expectations.

The imperial concubine responded with a smile, as if she had already anticipated what was to come.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Eunuch An was talking with his apprentice.

Not long after, someone sent by the Queen arrived here and brought news about the Queen.

They guessed that Master Zhang had also sent someone over, and it seemed that it involved some affairs of the Empress and the Imperial Concubine.

After some discussion, Eunuch An decided to leave his apprentice here to wait while he walked into the hall.

At this time, Murong Shuo was talking with Nanny Li.

After listening to Nanny Li's narration, Murong Shuo couldn't help but think about the woman's situation.

"Your master asked you to come and ask me, why am I alone in bed?" Murong Shuo fell into deep thought.

"Yes. The master didn't know whether he should go or not, so he just accepted the greeting gift from the Empress and the others."

He replied, "Your master's actions are appropriate. I will handle and arrange everything." He stood up and put down the imperial pen and memorial in his hands.

Seeing this, Nanny Li became a little nervous, not knowing what His Majesty would say next.

Murong Shuo continued, "You go back, she did a good job. I will go and handle it myself." Nanny Li responded and left.

She couldn't help but wonder if there was anything left unfinished.

When she mentioned the gift from the Empress, Murong Shuo couldn't help but ask curiously, "Can it compare to the gift I gave you?"

Although Nanny Li wanted to answer no, she ultimately chose to remain silent.

When she walked out the door, she met Eunuch An.

Eunuch An nodded to her and then entered the hall.

At this moment, a figure appeared outside. Who was it? This aroused the curiosity and speculation of everyone present...

Nanny Li stared at what was in front of her, nodded slightly to the young eunuch, and gradually walked away.

The people sent by the Queen Mother stared at Li Ma's back. They were full of curiosity and wanted to ask the young eunuch what had happened, but the eunuch knew nothing and could only shut up silently.

At this time, Eunuch An had already stepped into the threshold of the inner hall.

"Your Majesty." His voice broke the silence in the room.

Murong Shuo raised his head and saw him entering the hall again, so he asked him what was the matter.

"The Empress sent someone," Eunuch An reported in a low voice, "I wonder what important matter it is."

Murong Shuo thought for a moment and roughly understood why the queen sent someone here.

"Tell her that I have an idea and there is no need to rush." Murong Shuo spoke slowly.

After hearing this, Eunuch An realized that His Majesty had understood the Queen's intention.

"Your Majesty, do you need to see her?" he asked cautiously.

Murong Shuo glanced at him and did not answer directly, but turned to deal with the memorial in his hand.

After a while, Murong Shuo came out.

Seeing this, Eunuch An and the young eunuch immediately saluted: "Your Majesty, you are out."

Murong Shuo nodded and said, "Let's go and see Zhang. The scene last night seemed like a dream to me." He thought to himself, how could other women compare to her.

After resting on the bed for a while, Zhang Tianai's body gradually recovered. After Chunmei helped her wash and change clothes, she slowly stood up and prepared to get out of bed.

With four palace maids standing by her side, she was sorting out the gifts given by the Queen, while wondering why Nanny Li had not returned yet.

Should she return the favor to the Queen? This question lingered in her mind.

Her body still ached, and even the slightest movement was painful.

But she tried hard to adjust herself and prepare to sit down.

Chunmei wanted to support her, but she declined and insisted on sitting down by herself.

As soon as she sat down, she decided to ask the four palace maids around her to leave temporarily.

At this time, Nanny Li came back, and she turned her eyes to Nanny Li, wanting to understand the emperor's intentions.

After a while, suddenly, a voice broke the silence.

"What are you doing?" The source of the voice made her heart tighten. She looked up and found that it was the emperor who appeared.

She stood up immediately, and thinking back to what happened last night, she couldn't help feeling a little shy.

"Your Majesty," she called softly, then bowed politely.

Chunmei and other palace maids followed closely behind.

Murong Shuo didn't say much, just walked closer quietly.

"Why did the emperor come to visit suddenly?" Zhang Tianai asked again, staring at him intently.

She noticed that when Li Ma came back, she did not mention the emperor's arrival. She looked around, at Li Ma and the others, her heart full of doubts.
