Concubine Lan's reckless words really caught the Queen off guard.

The Queen cleared her throat and said, "Of course, I have arranged some programs for everyone to watch. Sister Lan Fei, don't worry, just wait!"

Concubine Lan raised her eyebrows. "Could it be that the Empress has arranged some stunning beauty for the Emperor?"

Xiao Rui glanced at Lan Fei and said, "You talk too much, drink a glass as a punishment!"

Concubine Lan curled her lips, picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and raised the glass to show the emperor to prove that she had finished it.

Prince Anling, who was sitting opposite, could never forget the night of love he had spent last time with her. He had been looking forward to the New Year's Eve for a long time.

As soon as he sat down, his eyes began to search non-stop, looking for the location of Concubine Shen. After discovering Concubine Shen, his eyes could not stop wandering around Concubine Shen.

Prince Anling winked at Concubine Shen again and again, but Concubine Shen remained indifferent.

"Little girl, you are playing hard to get with me!" Prince Anling couldn't help but complain in his heart. He thought that Concubine Shen was playing a flirtation with him and deliberately ignoring him.

However, he didn't know that the emperor had replaced Concubine Shen with someone else, and she could no longer have an affair with him freely as before.

Seeing that Concubine Shen was still ignoring him, Prince Anling raised his glass and said, "Today, I would like to offer a toast to everyone!"

After showing his presence, Prince Anling deliberately made an excuse to leave, but after waiting outside for a long time, Concubine Shen did not come out.

As soon as Prince Anling left, his wife Yuan Yuan knew what her husband was going to do again, but she just drank the wine in front of her one glass after another with bitterness.

After waiting outside for a long time, Prince Anling finally came back with a disappointed look on his face and glared at Concubine Shen angrily.

"Your Highness, please try this West Lake vinegar fish. I have already picked out the fish bones for you." Yuan Yuan picked up the fish from the plate and put it into Prince Anling's bowl.

"Oh." Prince Anling said perfunctorily, picked up the fish and swallowed it in one gulp, chewing it with an unpleasant taste.

Concubine Shen had long been aware of all of Prince Anling's actions, but the current situation prevented her from being as presumptuous as last time. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Prince Anling's wife, who was taking great care of him, and Concubine Shen could not help but smile bitterly.

After the musical instruments finished playing, a group of beautiful women in dancing costumes came up. They formed a circle, twisting their graceful figures and waving their long sleeves gracefully, each of them looked like a fairy from heaven...

Until the beauties around her bent down, revealing the woman in the middle. The woman in the middle's dance costume was different from the others'. The others' were light pink, but hers was pink, as if she was the pistil of this flower.

"Great, great, it's so beautiful!" The lustful Prince Xun was the first to applaud!

Others couldn't help but stare in amazement, especially the beauty in the middle, who was the one who stood out among so many beauties!

"Not bad at all!" Prince Anling also said this deliberately, wanting to take the opportunity to provoke Concubine Shen.

After the dance, the woman in the middle bowed and said, "I, Xu Yinshang, pay my respects to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Queen."

The Queen Mother, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled and said, "Please stand up quickly! You danced very well, what reward would you like?"

Xu Yinshang said slowly, "I do not ask for any reward. It is my greatest honor to be able to enter the palace and dance for Your Majesty in this life!"

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor and said, "He is someone who doesn't care about fame and fortune. The Emperor doesn't have many concubines in the harem, and now several of them are pregnant. There is no one to serve them. Why not take them into the harem?"

Xiao Rui understood that the woman in front of him was specially arranged by the Queen Mother, so he could only smile and agree, "Yes, then she will be registered as a noble lady and arranged in Yuexian Palace."

Xu Yinshang quickly kowtowed to the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

The Queen Mother asked, "What about the commoner girl?"

Xu Yinshang blushed and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"

When all the concubines saw this scene, they gritted their teeth. They had finally gotten rid of the vixen Wang Huan, and Song Qingwan happened to be pregnant, so they could get a share of the pie. Now here comes Xu Yinshang!

When Concubine Lan saw this, her face also turned pale!

However, the one who was most restless was the Queen. The daughter of the Wang family that she had arranged had not yet taken the stage, but Cheng Yaojin suddenly showed up and the Queen Mother got there first...
