A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

Haitang said incredulously, "Xiao Zhongzi, where did you hear this from? Did you hear it wrongly?"

Xiao Zhongzi nodded and said, "It is absolutely true! The emperor has already issued an edict to inform the six palaces, and the enthronement ceremony will be held on the same day as our queen!"

The smile on Yingcan's face froze. She didn't understand why the emperor not only didn't punish Concubine Qing, who was hypocritical and revengeful, but instead promoted her to a noble concubine...

Song Qingwan put down the medicine bowl, patted Yingcan's hand comfortingly, stood up and said, "Why did the emperor suddenly issue such an order? Concubine Qing did not do anything meritorious in the case of the theft of the Night Pearl. Everything is fine."

Xiao Zhongzi shook his head in disappointment and said, "This... I don't know either..."

Haitang shouted angrily, "There must be something fishy going on when things are out of the ordinary! This Concubine Qing must have done something behind the scenes to deceive the Emperor!"

Song Qingwan quickly made a gesture to keep quiet.

"Hush! Things are different now than they were in Yufangzhai. I see that the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Concubine Qing are very close. There's no guarantee that they don't have spies in Jingyang Palace."

Haitang hung her head and said dejectedly, "Yes, I know. I just felt sorry for Yingcan. Not only did I suffer injustice, but the Emperor also made that woman a concubine!"

Seeing Haitang defending him, Yingcan said, "I'm fine, Haitang. My wounds have gradually healed. Besides, I have Doctor Chen's medicine. I believe I'll get better soon."

"Concubine Qing already holds real power, and now she has become a noble concubine. From now on, we must be more careful and cautious to avoid letting her catch us."

Song Qingwan looked at Yingcan with heartache. She suffered such a serious injury because of her, and the person who harmed her even sat on the position of imperial concubine. How could she not hate him?

"I must ask the Emperor!"

After hearing this, Ying Can was about to stand up and tried to stop her, saying, "Your Majesty, please don't. Last time, you broke into the Ministry of Punishment to save me, but was rejected by an imperial decree. The emperor is already dissatisfied with you. I beg you not to go again!"

"I don't need you to hold me accountable! I am a servant, and it is my duty to suffer some hardships, but you must not let you lose the emperor's favor because of this!"

Song Qingwan and Haitang saw Yingcan struggling to get up, and hurried to help her lie down.

"Hurry up and lie down. I won't go anymore. Okay?" Song Qingwan said sympathetically.

Yingcan nodded, "Okay."

Then he took Haitang's hand and said, "Haitang, you have to keep an eye on the queen for me. Don't let her go! A gentleman's revenge is never too late. We should stay out of the spotlight for now and hold our troops in place."

"Perhaps right now, Concubine Qing is expecting our queen to question the emperor. If the two of them get into a conflict, wouldn't that be exactly what she wants?"

Haitang felt that what Yingcan said made sense.

"Yingcan is right! Your Majesty, why don't we not go? I don't want that Concubine Qing to succeed."

Song Qingwan let out a long sigh, "Okay then, I'll listen to you!"

Xiwu Palace

"My lady! My lady! I heard that Concubine Qing is going to be promoted to Imperial Concubine!" Zhenzhu ran in and said after hearing the news.

Concubine Shen was obviously shocked for a moment, then she recovered and said as usual:

"I had expected that she would be promoted to Imperial Concubine sooner or later. I just didn't expect that this day would come so soon!"

Pearl sighed and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that there might be a change of dynasty in the harem. Fortunately, we are close to Concubine Qing and can get some help from her."

Shen Guiren sighed and said, "Alas, what's the point of just relying on others' glory? If you don't strive for excellence yourself, you will never be able to rise to a higher position until you die."

Then he stroked his flat belly in disappointment.

I have been taking care of myself for such a long time, but there is no sign of pregnancy. Although the emperor does not show much favor, he will come occasionally, so it is not the case that I have not been able to get pregnant until now...

Zhenzhu noticed the small movement of Concubine Shen's hand and comforted her, "Don't be discouraged, my lady, maybe you will be pregnant next month."

Concubine Shen stared into the distance with empty eyes.

"Month after month, I don't want to wait any longer. I can't get a baby, and the period doesn't come on time, but it comes on time!"

Seeing that Concubine Shen was worried and distressed, Zhenzhu suggested, "Well, my lady, stop thinking about it. Let's go to the Yanxi Palace to congratulate Concubine Qing!"

"She is now a royal concubine. If we get closer to her, no one in the palace will dare to offend us!"

Concubine Shen retracted her gaze and looked at Pearl. "Okay, let's go to the storehouse and pick some treasures."

In this way, Concubine Shen took the gift and went to the Yanx Palace to congratulate Concubine Qing.

Yanxi Palace

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shen is here." The palace maid Yan'er came in to report.

Concubine Qing naturally knew Concubine Shen's intention. Concubine Shen was a person who changed with the times, from Concubine Lan at the beginning, to Concubine Ru later, and to herself now.

But such a person is actually a good sharp blade.

Concubine Qing said, "Let her in."

Yan'er: "Yes."

Yan'er walked out and invited Concubine Shen in.

When Concubine Shen arrived, she asked her servants to bring many things, and said with a smile on her face, "Congratulations to Concubine Qing! Congratulations to Concubine Qing!"

Concubine Qing looked at the things and said, "It's good that my sister is here. Why are you bringing these things? It's not polite at all."

Concubine Shen said to Concubine Qing's maid Ying'er, "Ying'er, have someone put it away quickly."

Then she continued, "Your Highness, I came to congratulate you, so I naturally brought a gift. Your Highness, please accept it with reluctance, and don't despise it."

Concubine Qing smiled and said, "I like you so much, how can I dislike you? Please sit down and don't stand."

Concubine Shen sat on the other side, and the two of them chatted about the enthronement ceremony. This time there were three celebrations in one day, and it was more grand than the previous banquets in the palace. Royal relatives and nobles would also come.

Speaking of royal relatives, Concubine Qing couldn't help but think of Xiao Yi.

"Prince Yu is not young anymore. He should get married, but he doesn't even have a concubine in his mansion."

Lady Shen remembered him and said, "Prince Yu is handsome and well-versed in both civil and military affairs. I wonder how many girls dream of him."

Concubine Qing said with emotion, "The Emperor has asked me several times to arrange a marriage for this minister's brother and see which prince's daughter is good, but Prince Yu always refuses."

Concubine Shen covered her mouth and smiled, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Maybe Prince Yu wants to find someone who suits his heart~"

Concubine Qing said, "That's true~"

"These brothers have different personalities. Our current emperor is resolute and decisive, Prince Yu is gentle as jade, and there is also Prince Anling, who is romantic and suave."

Speaking of Prince Anling, Concubine Shen suddenly remembered his face. It had been a long time since she had seen him, the man with whom she had had physical contact many times...

Concubine Qing looked at the noble Shen and asked, "Sister, sister?"
