That night, Fei Wan took the roster of all the concubines in the palace and named three people.

The next morning, when he went to pay his respects to Queen Yan, he publicly stated that his palace was deserted and he had long wanted to add more people.

"Before, I was recovering from my injuries, and the whole palace was filled with the smell of herbs. My sisters were irritated when they came. Now, I'm almost well again, and it just so happens that Miss He is staying in Chunxi Palace. I thought, why not invite a few more sisters to live with us? It would be great if we could all have a lively time together."

Fei Wan said so. Although Queen Yan didn't understand the reason, she didn't stop her and agreed with a smile.

"Who would you like to invite to live with you?"

Fei Wan named the few people she had chosen and looked at them one by one: "I wonder if you sisters are willing?"

"Of course I do! It is my great blessing to be able to live with the Imperial Concubine."

"I am willing."

"I am willing too."

None of the three people disagreed.

They all stood up and bowed to Fei Wan, expressing their gratitude for her invitation.

The concubines present had different expressions, some of them envious of some. Everyone knew that Concubine Zhao was favored. The emperor went to Chunxi Palace frequently, and being able to live in Chunxi Palace gave her many opportunities to see the emperor.

"Empress Zhao, I also want to live with you. Any room you give me is fine. I am not picky. I just want to see you every day."

As a member of Feiwan's faction, Concubine Chen took the initiative to show goodwill.

Fei Wan told her, "I also want to be close to you. But the person I chose was chosen by drawing lots after I offered incense and candles in front of the Buddha. It was a fate bestowed by the Bodhisattva, so it's difficult to change it at the moment."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

No wonder Concubine Zhao chose a few concubines she was not familiar with. It turns out she just drew lots at random.

Chen Guiren and the others who usually served Fei Wan also felt relieved at this moment.

"So that's how it is! From now on, I will visit Your Majesty every day. I just hope Your Majesty will not find me annoying." Concubine Chen said with a smile.

Fei Wan gently comforted her, telling her to just come visit: "...I wish there would be more liveliness around here, how could I find it annoying?"

This determined the person who would live in Chunxi Palace.

The emperor usually doesn't care about these matters, as long as Empress Yan agrees.

So after the Fengming Palace had finished paying their respects, the three concubines were invited by Fei Wan to return to Chunxi Palace. Fei Wan told them to choose the courtyard they wanted to live in.

He Shuangying was still in her room when she heard the noise outside and sent Xia He out to see what was going on.

When Xia He found out the whole story and came back to report to her, she immediately came to her senses.

He sat up straight from the pillow and asked, "What? Imperial Concubine Zhao has invited three more people to live with her?"

This!

It was obvious that she wanted those people to challenge her!

He Shuangying quickly washed up and went out.

Fei Wan and several concubines just walked to Guanlan Courtyard. He Shuangying caught up with them and knelt down to Fei Wan as soon as they met.

"I am guilty of not even saying good morning to the Imperial Concubine!"

"It's okay. You've been in Gongzhengsi twice and your body hasn't recovered yet. Rest more in your room." Fei Wan asked her to get up.

He Shuangying thanked him.

She stood up and looked at the concubines: "I heard that some of you are new here? Who picked this courtyard? This is where the Imperial Concubine used to live."

Those people all said they would not live here.

To show respect to Fei Wan.

He Shuangying said, "Since none of you guys are choosing this place, how about I choose it?"

She looked at Fei Wan and asked to live in Guanlan Courtyard.

"The residence that Your Majesty arranged for me was quite good, but I like this courtyard more."

Fei Wan smiled and said, "Then you can move in. There's a small door leading outwards, making it convenient for entering and exiting. You don't have to pass through other courtyards when you go to Chen Qian Palace at night."

"Thank you, Madam Concubine!"

He Shuangying moved very actively that day and moved into Guanlanyuan, where Fei Wan had lived before.

Xiangyi was puzzled.

She privately asked Fei Wan why she asked her to stay there, as she had made Guanlan Courtyard dirty for nothing.

Fei Wan asked the maid: "What is the most important thing for us now?"
