They had no choice but to serve Empress Dowager Wang first.

When Yanruo returned, the meal was almost over.

Wang asked with concern, "Why is your face so pale? Where did you suffer?"

Yanru shook her head: "His Majesty has been discussing matters in the Imperial Study, and I have not seen him."

I stood there for more than half an hour for nothing.

Wang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Then you should eat first, and later you can take a stew to the Emperor for me."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Su Wanwan, who was serving her food, and shook her head with a smile:

"The Emperor is so worried about state affairs that he doesn't even care about his meals. The Empress should offer more advice."

Su Wanwan smiled and agreed.

He thought to himself, "The emperor coming here to dine is just for show; everyone's tired."

He'd be a fool to suffer like this.

Only she, as the new bride, had no choice but to obey Wang's orders.

Over the next few days, Wang often kept Su Wanwan talking to her and trying to make her feel better.

From morning till night, Su Wanwan spent almost all her time at Renshou Palace.

The power to manage affairs in the harem has become nothing more than empty words.

Fortunately, the positions of the women in the harem remained unchanged, and everyone performed their duties, so no major trouble occurred for the time being.

It was just a hardship for Su Wanwan.

There was no time to catch up on sleep during the day, and at night she had to deal with Lu Xingjian's demands.

I'm severely sleep-deprived, and my dark circles are getting worse.

However, when Miss Yanruo had some free time, she often went to the Imperial Study to deliver this and that.

Five or six days passed in this way.

When Su Wanwan almost fell asleep during an errand, Lu Xingjian finally lost his patience.

The next morning, before dawn, he took Su Wanwan out of the palace, skipping even the morning court session.
