The next day, Zhu Xianyue got up early and helped Nan Tingye change clothes before going to court.

She was originally the head palace maid serving Nan Tingye.

Having inherited the original owner's memories, he can do these things with ease.

"Send down the decree, appointing Zhu Xianyue as a concubine and moving her to the Liang Fei Palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Xianyue quickly thanked God for his grace.

The ranks of the harem in the Southern Dynasties were Empress - Imperial Noble Consort - Noble Consort - Consort - Imperial Concubine - Noble Lady - Maid - Maid of Honor - Official Girl.

The rank of a concubine is low, and she usually lives with other high-ranking concubines.

Nan Tingye’s first queen passed away two years ago and left no offspring.

Nan Tingye is grateful for the kindness of the late queen and will not appoint a new queen within three years.

In the harem today, the one with the highest status is Concubine Wen.

Concubine Wen came from a prominent family. Her father was a prime minister and she was the second daughter in the family.

There are two concubines below——

Concubine Wan, the daughter of a Grand Secretary, was as gentle and virtuous as her name suggested, and she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son.

However, because of a disease left behind when she gave birth to the eldest prince, her lower part was torn and she could no longer serve Nan Tingye.

Nan Tingye took pity on her and promoted her, who was still a noble lady at the time, to Consort Wan, and also allowed her to keep the eldest prince by his side to raise him.

Concubine Liang was born as a palace maid, and was famous for saving the Empress Dowager (who had died of illness) from falling into the water.

Nan Tingye was raised by the Empress Dowager.

The person behind him, the late Empress Dowager, was a person without a strong opinion.

Nan Tingye and the Empress Dowager have the deepest relationship.

After the death of the Empress Dowager, Nan Tingye became ill due to missing her, and he also felt more love and affection for Concubine Liang.

Concubine Liang and Zhu Xianyue have similar backgrounds.

Nan Tingye specially let her live with Concubine Liang, which was considered as taking good care of her.

There are five concubines, and there are more below them.

The Imperial Household Department assigned a palace maid to serve Zhu Xianyue.

Soon, Zhu Xianyue arrived at Jingyang Palace where Concubine Liang lived.

Without having time to rest, he went to pay his respects to Concubine Wen with Concubine Liang.

Concubine Liang rode in a sedan chair, but she had to walk.

Zhu Xianyue felt very uncomfortable after being tortured quite badly by Nan Tingye last night and walking for a long time.

When I arrived at Jingren Palace, I was already sweating.

Concubine Liang looked at her for a few times and said, "Concubine Zhu, you are not feeling well. It is better not to go to Jingren Palace today."

"I have replied to Concubine Wen on your behalf."

——Haha, she’s already at the door. If you don’t let her in, then within half a day, the accusation that Zhu Xianyue “is arrogant and domineering because of her favor” will spread throughout the six palaces.

This Concubine Liang really doesn't deserve this title.

Zhu Xianyue said calmly, "I was born a palace maid, so I'm not that delicate. I appreciate your kindness, Concubine Liang."

Concubine Liang's heart skipped a beat.

This Zhu Xianyue is not stupid and is not easy to deal with!

In the past, she was the only concubine in the harem who was of bondservant origin.

It is precisely because of this that Nan Tingye will feel more pity for her.

Of course, most of it comes from the late Empress Dowager...

She is also lucky.

At that time, the Empress Dowager slipped, and she happened to be next to her and helped her.

This is how we have the honor we have today.

But now there is a red crescent moon.

She is not the special one in Nan Tingye's heart.

While Zhu Xianyue has not yet gained any power, she must suppress her.

But... this Zhu Xianyue is worthy of having served the emperor for so long.

He is quite cunning.

When Concubine Liang was about to make trouble, she heard laughter behind her.

"Sister Liang Fei, Concubine Zhu, you are here so early."

Just by listening to the voice, you can guess how smart and quirky the person is.
