Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Shen Meimei continued to suggest:

“Your Majesty, since the system of imperial concubines in the harem has one Imperial Noble Consort, two Noble Consorts, and four Consorts, and I am now a Noble Consort, the position of the fourth Consort can also be considered.

Regardless of what others say, Sister Xinpin has a long history in the harem, is a very righteous person, and has given birth to a princess for the emperor.

"It is my concubine's ceremony to be crowned as a concubine. Why don't you double the happiness and promote Xinpin to Xinfei? As the saying goes, happiness is better shared than happiness alone!"

After hearing this, the emperor was delighted and said with a smile:

"Mei'er, I love you so much, but you always think about others! It's really rare! I am really pleased that you have such magnanimity and broad-mindedness."

He gently stroked Shen Meizhuang's hand to express his appreciation for her.

Since the emperor has agreed, before setting off for the Old Summer Palace, Xinpin's ceremonial attire for the imperial concubine must be prepared carefully.

In Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Xin was very excited. "Yuqing, what you said is true. I will be promoted to Concubine Xin? I have endured for so many years and finally got the position of Concubine!"

She was an old lady in the palace. She was not outstanding in her previous residence. She had an average family background and average appearance. When Hua Fei and the Queen were fighting overtly and covertly, she saw it clearly and understood that both sides had wins and losses, but neither side could be trusted.

Xinpin chose to remain neutral and sober, neither vying for favor nor taking sides.

Later, Concubine Hua died, and the Queen was the only one in power. In Chuxiu Palace, she was suppressed and bullied by Guaerjia Wenyuan, and she hated the Queen's inaction. It was not until Zhen Huan returned to the palace pregnant that she saw hope.

This time, Concubine Xin no longer endured it. She really chose to stand on Zhen Huan's side, and she endured from being Noble Lady Xin to Concubine Xin. And this time she chose Concubine Hui, and she endured from being Concubine Xin to Concubine Xin.

"My lady, what I said is true. It was Concubine Hui who specifically asked Aunt Jingxi to tell her! The Ministry of Internal Affairs is already rushing to make the wedding dress, and when we get to the Old Summer Palace, we will confer the title together with Concubine Hui. I heard from Aunt Jingxi that Concubine Hui said this is double happiness!"

Yuqing was also very excited while speaking. She had followed Xinpin for many years and they had a deep relationship as master and servant.

"Quick, prepare the gifts! Go to Suiyuxuan!" Xinpin wanted to go and thank Shen Meimei in person.

Jinxi went to Chuxiu Palace to deliver the news. Just as she arrived at Suiyuxuan, Xinpin arrived with gifts.

Shen Meimei went out to greet her in person. This was the first person she made friends with in the harem. From then on, she no longer fought alone, but started to form a team.

"Sister Xin, why did you come here in person?"

Shen Meimei greeted with a smile.

As soon as Xinpin entered the room, she bowed down and saluted politely: "I pay my respects to Concubine Hui. May the Concubine be blessed with good health!"

"Okay, Sister Xin, get up quickly! Sisters, don't kneel down at every turn. It seems strange!" Shen Meimei helped Concubine Xin up. She really didn't like the ancient etiquette of kneeling down at every turn.

Jinxi brought silk stocking milk tea to entertain Xinpin. The weather was hot, so Shen Meimei asked Jinxi to bring some more ice.

She pointed at the milk tea and said:

"Sister Xin, come and have a taste. How does it taste? I made this myself. If it tastes good, I'll have someone bring some back for you so that the princess can have a taste too!"

Xinpin raised her eyes, which suddenly became moist, and she sighed:

"Empress Hui, the harem has always been strictly hierarchical, and the higher the official, the more powerful he is. I have been here for more than ten years, and my family is in another place. If it weren't for your support, I would probably have been a concubine until I died!"

"Sister Xin, the emperor still has you in his heart! I just mentioned it!" Shen Meimei said modestly.
