Song Qingwan knew clearly that everyone was looking forward to her reaction and waiting to see the show.

However, the more this happened, the calmer Song Qingwan became, as if nothing had happened, and she did not pay any attention to Rupin's harsh words.

Just like that, Concubine Ru punched the cotton, and the Queen suddenly felt bored.

Concubine Qing stepped out to break the awkward silence and said, "The enthronement ceremony is over. If you sisters don't mind, let's go to the Yanxi Palace for a cup of tea!"

Concubine Ru was the first to say, "I won't go. Chenyou is still young, and I have to go back to take care of him!" After all, she didn't want to see Concubine Qing showing off her power.

When Zuo Wenyi heard Concubine Ru talking about Chen You, her heart trembled unconsciously, and then she said, "Empress Qing, I just need to go see the little prince, so I won't go over."

Concubine Qing smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead. The child is important. Just come next time when you are free."

Zuo Wenyi smiled back and said, "Yes."

Concubine Ru was too lazy to pretend. After she finished speaking, she said goodbye to the Queen and left.

Zuo Wenyi watched Rupin's back as she walked away, and chased after her. "Madam Rupin, wait for me. I want to go to Jiahe Palace too!"

After hearing this, Rupin frowned. She thought that what she said just now was to politely reject Qingpin's excuses, but she didn't expect that she would actually go.

"Didn't you come here yesterday? How many times do you have to watch it in one day?" Rupin turned around and said dissatisfiedly

Zuo Wenyi brought up the emperor and said, "Your Majesty forgot that the emperor allowed me to visit you anytime."

After hearing this, Rupin looked very unhappy. She ignored Zuo Wenyi and quickened her pace back to the palace. Zuo Wenyi followed closely behind her...

the other side

"Would the Queen like to come and sit with us?" Concubine Qing asked

The queen politely declined. "No, the harem is busy with many things. I will send someone to deliver the gift to you as a token of my appreciation."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!" Concubine Qing said gratefully.

Concubine Qing turned to Song Qingwan and Concubine Shen and said, "Would you two like to come and sit down?"

Song Qingwan smiled and said, "I have been standing for a long time today and I am a little tired. I will go back to the palace to rest first. I must go to the Empress in person some other day to ask for a cup of tea!"

Concubine Qing also smiled and said, "Okay, you are welcome to come anytime."

After Concubine Qing finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Shen.

Concubine Shen agreed immediately, "Of course I will go! For such a big happy event, I must congratulate Her Majesty."

Fenghua Palace

Beatrice fanned the queen and said with a smile, "Rupin has been so proud for so long, thinking she would definitely be selected, but she didn't expect that in the end, it would fall to Concubine Qing. I guess she is furious in Jiahe Palace now!"

The Queen said, "Yes, if you want to blame someone, blame her for being complacent too early. I am not willing to help her!"

Beatrice analyzed the situation and said, "But your majesty, it would be good for Concubine Qing to help you manage the six palaces. She is kind and not good at arguing, so she won't cause trouble for you!"

"If it was Concubine Ru who got promoted today, who knows how she would act!"

The queen nodded upon hearing this.

"You are right. Concubine Qing is soft-hearted and easy to control. She is also a little older. Even if she becomes a concubine, she will not pose any threat to me."

Beatrice agreed, "Yes, Madam, you just got a reliable person to help you take care of the harem affairs. She won't compete for favor anyway."

The queen couldn't help laughing after hearing this. "She's already so old, and she's still fighting for favor like a little girl. If this gets out, she'll be laughed at!"

Beatrice thought of Song Qingwan's behavior at the enthronement ceremony and said, "But that noble lady Yu is very cunning! She never fell into your trap! Now that she is pregnant, the emperor dotes on her even more."

The queen narrowed her eyes and said, "She is smart, beautiful, and has a good conversation with the emperor. Now she is pregnant, so the emperor naturally dotes on her even more."

Bi Cui said uncomfortably, "But that can't be against the rules. I heard that the emperor came to the harem three times this month. He stayed at the empress's place for fifteen nights, and went to Yufangzhai for the remaining two times."

"I don't know what kind of magic potion Concubine Yu has given to the emperor. Even though she is pregnant and can't sleep with him, she can still make the emperor miss her all the time."

The queen was about to blame Beatrice for her inappropriate words, but after listening to Beatrice's words, she thought about it carefully.

On the fifteenth of every month, according to the rule set by our ancestors, the emperor must come to the main palace. But even when the emperor came, the two of them would not do anything intimate. They would just talk about things in the palace and then go to sleep hastily.

Song Qingwan is pregnant now, and the emperor loves her so much that he will definitely not touch her. But this month, the emperor has come to the harem three times. Has the emperor lost his human desires?

"What about last month? How many times did the emperor come to the harem last month?" the queen asked again

Beatrice shook her head and said, "Not many times. Apart from the Empress's, the Emperor went to the Yanxi Palace to see the Second Princess and the Fourth Princess, and to the Jiahe Palace to visit the Fifth Prince, and then to the Yufangzhai."

The person living in the Yanxi Palace is Concubine Qing, who is older than me and entered the palace earlier. The emperor is so unfamiliar with me, so he would definitely not do those things to Concubine Qing...

Concubine Ru is a few years younger, but she had a difficult delivery last time and no one knows how her body has recovered. It is not certain whether she can sleep with the emperor.

The queen thought of something and said, "Pass this news to the queen mother. The queen mother is anxious to have a grandson, so she will naturally urge the emperor to come to the harem more often."

Beatrice understood, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will persuade the Emperor to treat everyone equally and not favor one over the other."

Sure enough, after the Queen Mother heard about this, Song Qingwan's image in her mind was greatly reduced.

The Queen Mother said, holding her Buddhist beads, "After all, this noble lady Yu is just a concubine's daughter. How could she be so obsessed with Rui'er?"

The nanny beside the Queen Mother replied, "Your Majesty, maybe this noble lady Yu has something that others don't have, which makes our emperor feel special!"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother said disdainfully, "Then go and invite her to Shoukang Palace tomorrow. I want to see what's so special about this concubine's daughter!"

Mammy said, "Yes!"

After hearing this, the nanny went downstairs and gave instructions, asking someone to pass a message to Yufangzhai, asking Concubine Yu to come to Shoukang Palace tomorrow.

Just like that, the news quickly spread to Yufangzhai. When Song Qingwan found out, she was completely stunned!

"What, the Queen Mother wants to see me tomorrow?"

Haitang couldn't help but panic and said, "The Queen Mother has always ignored the trivial matters of the harem. Why did she suddenly send someone to tell her that she wanted to see the young lady? Could it be that something bad happened..."

After Ying Can found out, he sneered, "Oh, the young lady has always lived a peaceful life in Yufangzhai, and never took the initiative to go out and cause trouble. The Queen Mother wants to see the young lady for no reason. There must be someone who is gossiping about her behind her back!"
