We didn't encounter any trouble along the way and returned to the Forbidden City smoothly in early August.

At this time, Shen Meizhuang's belly was already noticeably big, and it was becoming increasingly inconvenient for her to move, and she needed someone to support her.

When the palace maids and eunuchs of Tangli Palace learned that the Empress was about to return to the palace, they were all very excited, with joy on their faces.

Wen Shichu calculated with his fingers and found that Shen Meizhuang's due date was approaching.

On this day, Shen Meimei had just got off the carriage, and Jinxi carefully supported her. Caixing, Caiyue, Xiao Yunzi and others had already been waiting at the gate of Tangli Palace.

In addition, Wen Shichu also brought various tonics and stood there waiting.

Shen Meimei couldn't help but sigh, feeling that life in the palace was more comfortable and free.

She looked at everyone with a smile and said:

"I have been away for nearly three months. Have you been lazy? Jinxi, bring the gifts I prepared for everyone!"

Caixing and Caiyue rushed to help, and everyone received a gift.

The whole Tangli Palace was as festive as if it were New Year, and everyone had a beautiful smile.

Not long after Shen Meimei put down her luggage, Concubine Duan, Concubine Xin and other concubines rushed over. They already knew that the emperor had brought back Concubine Wan.

The emperor was very fond of Liu Ruchun. He not only raised her status, but also let her live in Yongshou Palace.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Duan, Concubine Xin and others are waiting outside. Do you want to meet them at this time or not?" Jinxi asked.

"See! I know what they are worried about." Shen Meimei drank a bowl of Wen Shichu's tonic and felt much better.

Soon, Concubine Duan and other concubines came in, bowed and saluted, saying:

"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, may Your Majesty live in peace and happiness!"

"Okay, Sister Duan, Sister Xin, please get up quickly. I just came back today, and I'm sure you all know about Concubine Wan! She is a talented woman from Hangzhou, and her strength should not be underestimated. Please take good care of her, sisters."

Shen Meimei smiled and said that there were some things she could only say briefly.

"I think Concubine Wan and Queen Chunyuan are too similar. How should I live in the future?" Concubine Xin complained out loud.

Concubine Duan: "Yes, I'm afraid that the peaceful days in the harem will never come again. The emperor asked Concubine Wan to live in Yongshou Palace. Unfortunately, it's not even a year since Imperial Noble Concubine Dunmin passed away! This palace has already welcomed a new owner."

Concubine Xin stood up and put one hand on her waist. "Don't worry, Sister Duan. Tomorrow I will take a few people to meet Concubine Wan and see how she deceived the emperor."

Seeing that the concubines were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, Shen Meimei covered her mouth and chuckled:

"Well, it's not that serious. She's just a teenage girl! In terms of intelligence, she is no match for us. Don't worry about it!

Every beauty in this harem is one in a million. We just need to protect our own place. Why bother to compete with her?"

Concubine Duan nodded, "That's the only way. Let's wait and see what happens. If Concubine Wan doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, we don't have to do anything! If she doesn't know what's good for her, sisters, teach her a lesson so that she knows who is the master of the harem."

Shen Meimei touched her belly, probably because the baby was doing somersaults in her stomach. Her belly bulged here and there, making everyone laugh.

"All the sisters are here. Tangli Palace is the most lively here!" Liu Ruchun said with a smile.
