The Legend of Concubine Su

Lin Wan'er, like a flawless piece of jade, possessed a gentle and graceful disposition, like a beautiful, meticulously crafted jadeite. On that fateful night, she, like a radiant star, was chosen by the discerning eye of the supreme and all-powerful emperor, entering the unfathomable and mysterious inner court. From that moment on, her once tranquil and unpretentious life path underwent a shocking transformation. The precious peace and tranquility of the past seemed suddenly eclipsed by boundless luxury and splendor. However, the most striking focus was undoubtedly the dragon seed growing and growing within her womb. This unborn child not only carried the royal family's legacy but also laid the foundation for her future success through her son's favor. One could only imagine the earth-shattering impact this dragon fetus would have on the entire court and even the nation. And Lin Wan'er herself will surely reach the pinnacle of power and enjoy wealth and glory because of the birth of this child.

The palace was awash in splendor and magnificence, every detail revealing the majesty and luxury of the royal family. Amidst this splendor, Imperial Concubine Su Jingyue, with her unique gentleness and virtuousness, earned the respect and love of all. Facing Lin Wan'er's rise to power, she showed no jealousy or pettiness. Instead, with a broader heart, she personally issued an edict, directing that everyone in the palace provide Lin Wan'er with meticulous care and attention. The gifts bestowed upon Lin Wan'er were meticulously selected, meticulously crafted, and exquisitely crafted. Like glittering stars, they adorned her chambers, imbuing the entire space with an indescribable air of luxury and nobility.

Lin Wan'er's bedroom unfolded at this very moment, a breathtaking spectacle unfolding—the room was filled with jewels and precious stones, gleaming with dazzling light, like a dreamlike wonderland. A dazzling array of rare and precious supplements was displayed, leaving the eye dizzy and overwhelmed.

The dazzling array of supplements were all rare and precious treasures, their value transcending the realm of ordinary tonics. These treasures were not only supreme nourishment for the body, but also a symbol of the Emperor's boundless love and favor for Lin Wan'er. Among them, the incredibly precious bird's nests shone like crystal-clear pearls, radiating a captivating luster and an alluring amber hue. It felt as if every bite evoked the mysterious charm of the ocean's depths and the exquisite flavors generously bestowed by nature.

Peach gum, with its unique taste and rich nutritional content, has become an indispensable beauty secret in Lin Wan'er's daily life. It is like a magic key, unlocking the door to eternal youth, allowing Lin Wan'er to maintain her beautiful and charming face.

These supplements held immense significance for Lin Wan'er. Not only did they provide her with the utmost care and nourishment, leaving her skin as smooth and delicate as white jade and radiant with radiance, but more importantly, this profound gesture from the Emperor filled her with an unprecedented warmth and care, like basking in the warm spring sun, a warmth and sweetness. This emotional comfort was far more precious than material comfort, and it filled Lin Wan'er with anticipation and longing for the future.

Yet, behind this seemingly perfect situation lies a hidden emotional entanglement. Shangguan Nana, who entered the palace with Lin Wan'er, felt a wave of emotion as she watched her friend enjoy such a glorious and favored life. While she felt genuine joy and blessings for Lin Wan'er's happiness, she could hardly suppress a deep sense of envy and jealousy. In the quiet of night, she would sit alone by the window, gazing at the bright moon, silently praying: May she soon gain the emperor's favor and find her own happiness and home within this palace.

One day, Shangguan Nana came to the bedroom of Imperial Concubine Su Jingyue to pay her respects according to the palace rules. At that moment, Xiaoru was rushing to Lin Wan'er's bedroom with a box of fine ginseng. This scene fell into Shangguan Nana's eyes, and she couldn't help but overturn the mixed feelings in her heart. She was also a concubine in the palace, so why could Lin Wan'er enjoy such honor and favor? While she could only silently endure this gap and loneliness. She suppressed the bitterness and reluctance in her heart and saluted Imperial Concubine Su Jingyue: "Greetings, Imperial Concubine." There was respect and awe for the Imperial Concubine in her tone, as well as helplessness and emotion about her own fate. Su Jingyue said: No need for formalities.

On the path back to her own bedroom, Shangguan Nana looked remarkably lonely. Moonlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting a shadow on her slightly forlorn face, adding a touch of melancholy to the quiet night. She slowly walked to a nearby stone bench and sat down, her hands unconsciously folded in her lap, her gaze vacantly ahead, as if the entire world had lost its color.

Her heart was now consumed by an indescribable jealousy. Whenever she thought of Lin Wan'er's impending arrival as a new member of the royal family, her heart ached like a needle. The favor that had once belonged to her had now been entirely transferred to Lin Wan'er, leaving her feeling immensely lost and resentful.

Shangguan Nana knew that the Imperial Concubine's favor was the dream of every woman in the harem. She had countlessly fantasized about her own pregnancy, imagining how tenderly the Imperial Concubine would care for her, how she would hold her dearest. However, reality dealt a cruel blow, and all her fantasies vanished with Lin Wan'er's favor.

She was jealous of Lin Wan'er, not just because she had snatched the Imperial Concubine's favor, but also because she possessed something she had always longed for but could never obtain—the joy and glory of becoming a mother. Whenever she thought of this, Shangguan Nana's heart would surge with uncontrollable anger and resentment, and she wished she could take it all back from Lin Wan'er.

However, she also knew that jealousy wouldn't change anything. Within this deep palace, she had to learn to be patient and wait, searching for her own opportunity. Perhaps one day, she too would earn the favor of the Imperial Concubine and become the object of everyone's envy and jealousy. But before that, she had to remain calm and rational, not letting jealousy cloud her mind.

Shangguan Nana took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. She stood up, dusted herself off, and then walked forward with a determined stride. She knew the road ahead was long, and she must bravely face all challenges and difficulties. Only then could she survive in this deep palace and realize her dreams and aspirations.
