When did she enter the palace? Why didn't she know? She tried to ask, but the information she got was limited. Later, she gradually learned more.

It turned out that a woman who entered the palace saved the emperor, so it was reasonable for her to be granted the title of concubine.

However, the Queen Mother still hesitated.

She wanted to see the woman in person.

Although the Queen Mother is old, she has fair skin, a thin but beautiful figure, and still dresses young.

After listening to the palace maid's narration...

"Where is the emperor now and when is he free?" she asked.

"Empress Dowager, there is no clear news from the Emperor, we need to ask." The palace maid replied.

The Queen Mother understood that there was a new person in the harem. Although she trusted the Emperor, she still wanted to meet him in person and hear what he had to say.

After she finished talking to the person, the palace maid bowed and prepared to ask when the emperor was free.

"By the way, how's the situation in the harem?" The Queen Mother saw the palace maid about to leave and called her back. "Did the harem get the news in advance?"

The palace maid replied, "Someone has mentioned it."

The Queen Mother said "Oh", and then asked: "Where is the Queen? The Queen has always been virtuous, and the Emperor trusts her. She should know about this matter. Why didn't she come to explain it?" She felt a little bit of blame for the Queen.

Despite this, the Queen Mother still thinks highly of the Queen and thinks she is very good. This may just be a mistake.

The palace maid had not yet finished answering, so the empress dowager asked her to ask again.

Before the palace maid left, someone came over.

When the empress dowager asked, it turned out that someone from the emperor's side came and had something to say to her.

She silently said in her heart that it was good that the emperor still remembered her.

"Any news?" she asked the man sent by the emperor.

After listening to the emperor's men's narration, she nodded to show that she understood and did not say anything more.

Then she said, "That's it, let's wait for the girl to come and see when she's free."

"Of course we have to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager." The visitor answered respectfully.

"Yes." The Queen Mother responded.

The visitor spoke some more cautiously.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother thought of the former Crown Princess Zhang. She also disliked and was dissatisfied with this woman. She didn't expect that there would be someone who looked like her.

Such a coincidence, could there be any deeper meaning behind it?

It’s nothing, just a coincidence.

Although they look alike, there is nothing that can be done. After all, I cannot influence the emperor's decision, and I cannot let her change her face.

This is how the world is, maybe this is fate.

She said, "Go back and tell the emperor that there's nothing special about me. I know what's going on."

After the people left, the Queen Mother still frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

She gave the woman some gifts.

Not long ago, Zhang Tianai had returned to Furong Palace and accepted the emperor's order.

After sending off the eunuch who announced the decree, she sat down, took a sip of tea, and a smile appeared on her face.

There is no need to say much about this happy thing. The harem should be lively again!

She really wanted to eavesdrop.

Looking at the imperial edict in their hands, Li Ma and the others seemed very happy and blessed. Today was a good day for her.

"Today," she began, "is a good day, Master, and a day worthy of celebration."

Nanny Li continued, "The master has become Concubine Liang." Chunmei and the four palace maids nodded in agreement.

The young eunuch Xiao Zhangzi also wanted to speak.

"Yes, I am already Concubine Liang. You must remember from now on that I am your master. No matter where you go or what you do, don't be afraid." Zhang Tianai said.

Nanny Li reminded the Empress: "Your Majesty, with the title of Consort Liang, everything will be different."

"Yeah." Zhang Tianai responded.

"I will go out and tell the people outside to follow the Madam's rules," said Nanny Li.

Others agreed.

Zhang Tianai looked at Chunmei and said, "We, master and servant, have finally reached this day."

Chunmei replied: "The master has paid a lot."

Zhang Tianai smiled slightly and said nothing.

At this time, the Empress Dowager sent someone to look for her.

After hearing the news, Zhang Tianai was a little surprised, thinking that maybe the Empress Dowager had something to ask her?

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has sent someone over." said Nanny Li.

"Oh?" Zhang Tianai was a little nervous. "Did she bring anything?"

"Yes, my lord," replied Matron Li.

Zhang Tianai decided to meet him.

In the Queen's palace, she heard some things that surprised her, but fortunately the Emperor was by her side.

The other palace maids also looked at her.

Zhang Tianai met the Empress Dowager, who just gave her some things.

There were night pearls and some other good things, so many that she couldn't hold them all in a short time and became even richer.

The people around the Empress Dowager didn't say much, just glanced at her and mentioned that the Empress Dowager was very grateful to her and asked her to come over when she had time.

Zhang Tianai agreed.

After everyone left, the Queen and the Imperial Concubine also sent some gifts over.

"Put all these in the warehouse, register them first, and make a book." Zhang Tianai ordered.

"When I have time, I'll give you a few." She whispered to Chunmei.

Chunmei looked at Li Ma and the others.

"You are my most beloved maid." Zhang Tianai said to Chunmei.

Soon, some women of lower status came to ask to see Zhang Tianai.

Nanny Li asked Zhang Tianai if she wanted to see them.

Zhang Tianai said: "I have already met them. They just came to say a few words to please me, but what good will that do me? They mainly want to see the emperor, right? Let's meet another day. Say I am resting and meet again tomorrow."

If they really want to please themselves, they should wait until the right time to express it.

In the Yangxin Palace, Eunuch An reported to the Emperor the situation in the Furong Palace and that the Empress, the Imperial Concubine and the Empress Dowager had sent more gifts to the Concubine Liang.

Empress Liang accepted them all and expressed her gratitude.

Murong Shuo held the pen in his hand, and the cinnabar from the tip of the pen dripped and splashed on the memorial.

He glanced at it and replied nonchalantly, "I see."

Upon seeing this, Eunuch An whispered a reminder that there were still people waiting to see Concubine Liang, but Concubine Liang did not respond.

"She's just too independent."

It would be nice to get to know her and spend more time with her, but it's better not to meet a woman of low status.

Murong Shuo knew in his heart that there was no need to worry.

He continued to review the memorials, but his thoughts drifted to that woman.

Before leaving, she pulled him aside and asked, "Where is your Majesty going tonight? I want to repay your kindness."

He replied, "Then get ready."

He gazed at her fair face and alluring figure and decided to go later.

Eunuch An observed the emperor's expression and saw that he was in a good mood.

He knew that the emperor was happy because Concubine Liang did not mix with other women in the harem as soon as she entered the palace.

"Hmm." Murong Shuo hummed again.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch An called respectfully.

"The prince's affairs." Murong Shuo mentioned the prince.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not have sex with His Royal Highness Prince Cheng..." Eunuch An hesitated to speak. He remembered that the Crown Prince did not know that the Emperor had brought a woman into the palace. That woman was the former Crown Princess and was now a concubine.

But the news had leaked out, and everyone knew that she had been made a concubine.

Murong Shuo did not continue the topic.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon and he asked if there was anything delicious to try.

Eunuch An answered them one by one.

He asked about the situation in Furong Palace again, "Little Zhangzi is here, Your Majesty." Eunuch An spoke up.

Murong Shuo nodded, and then it was afternoon, evening, until night fell.
