Chapter 286
“My daughter, Shen Man, was sent to the estate when she was three years old. Apart from her family, no one else knew about her. Although the late Empress knew that she had such a younger sister, she had never met her before, so it was natural that they were strangers. It is normal that the late Empress never mentioned her to His Majesty,” Shen Zheng said, reciting his prepared statement.
Song Xuan waved his hand at Shen Zheng with a cold expression, saying with some disgust, "You can make the arrangements now. You may leave."
Shen Zheng could hardly contain his joy. He bowed and then withdrew.
Outside the Imperial Study, Shen Zheng stood on the connecting corridor, feeling a mix of joy and worry.
The feeling he had just experienced with Miss Liu was very familiar, and her voice, which sounded just like Shen Qingnian's, almost made him lose his senses.
His Majesty has always been deeply attached to the late Empress, and he has never seen what Miss Liu looks like, but he is certain that Miss Liu is no ordinary person.
As for Shen Man, although she looks four or five parts similar to Shen Qingnian, she is not smart enough. If it weren't for the limitation of her appearance, he would have a better choice.
A glint of light flashed in Shen Zheng's eyes.
However, he also came up with two plans. If Shen Man couldn't defeat Miss Liu, then he would have her use her appearance to speak with His Majesty frequently...
As for the corpse in the Ice Palace, His Majesty has rarely visited the Ice Palace since Miss Liu entered the palace, and even the young crown prince has not gone there anymore. He will let Shen Man find an opportunity to deal with it, so there is no particular rush.
Satisfied, Shen Zheng left the palace and immediately began arranging for Shen Man to enter the palace.
------------
Soon, Shen Man entered the palace under Shen Zheng's arrangement.
On the second day after she entered the palace, she came to the Golden Hall early in the morning, saying that she was lonely in the inner palace and came to talk to Shen Qingnian.
Currently, there are only Shen Qingnian and Xia Qianjun in the entire harem. Xia Qianjun is a woman with a dream, and Song Xuan has never favored her. In fact, he avoids her like the plague. In addition, Shen Man was instructed by Shen Zheng before entering the palace, so she naturally had to come to the Golden Hall first.
Shen Qingnian had just opened her eyes in the early morning and hadn't even gotten out of bed yet when she heard that Shen Manchen had agreed to come.
Originally, Shen Zheng had arranged for Shen Man to be given the rank of Noble Lady, but Song Xuan rejected it directly and only granted her the rank of Consort.
"Miss, should I send her away?" Xiaoju asked in a low voice, her voice filled with disgust.
As soon as Consort Shen entered the Golden Hall, she adopted a condescending attitude, as if she had been wronged.
Shen Qingnian stretched, revealing a small red plum blossom on her red mole on her collarbone. She smiled and said, "There are very few women in the harem. Now that there is a new concubine, Consort Shen, I naturally have to go and see her."
She was very curious about Shen Man's appearance and wanted to see how much she resembled her.
“But Miss, she entered the palace with the rank of a concubine, while you have no rank and can only be considered a commoner. I’m afraid you’ll suffer a loss,” Xiaoju said with some concern.
Her young lady cannot reveal her identity, otherwise, how could Consort Shen have the chance to act so arrogantly?
Shen Qingnian sat up and said, "Who told you that you'll be bullied if you don't have a rank? The infighting in the harem is no different from that in the inner quarters; it all depends on where His Majesty's heart is."
Having said that, she gestured to Xiaoju: "Go and fetch me some water to wash up, and let's see how Consort Chen compares to the late Empress..."
[Don't worry, my darlings, the female lead won't suffer, and the author won't mistreat her. (#^.^#)！！！]
