Outside the door, Xiang Yue reported through the curtain: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Miss Wei is here and wants to apologize to Your Majesty and Your Majesty."
Zhao Yuancheng was a little impatient. "No need. Let Zhu Yu take her to Qingning Palace."
"yes."
After Xiang Yue left, Zhu Yu stepped forward and said slowly, "My Lady Wei, the Emperor has just appointed you as a concubine, and you will live with Concubine Wan in Qingning Palace."
Consort Wei was stunned. "Qingning Palace?"
"Yes, Wanpin is the head of a palace and has moved to the main hall. The young lady lives in a side hall. I have just sent someone to Qingning Palace. Your Majesty will make arrangements for you."
Concubine Wei pursed her lips and said nothing. Speaking of which, although Concubine Wan came from a noble family, she was not as favored as Concubine Yi.
What's more, she was a maid in Huayang Palace, but the emperor sent her to Qingning Palace.
What does this mean?
But Concubine Wei did not dare to ask more questions. She had just been favored by the emperor, and not only did she feel dizzy, but she also felt an unbearable stinging pain between her legs.
At this moment I just want to lie down and rest.
As he spoke, Consort Wei bowed to Zhu Yu and Xiang Yue respectively.
Xiang Yue snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "I dare not accept your gift, my lady. From now on, when I see you, my lady, I will have to bow to you."
Consort Wei gritted her teeth and said nothing. She just knelt down and kowtowed towards the warm room, then turned and left.
Qingning Palace, before a stick of incense.
Wanpin was sitting on the couch holding a book of poetry, but her mind was thinking about the things in Huayang Palace.
"Songluo, do you think Liuyin can succeed?"
"Of course she will." Songluo replied, "This girl is very thoughtful. Besides, the emperor hasn't been to the harem for a long time, so she will naturally not miss such a good opportunity."
"Too."
Wanpin smiled complacently, "Empress Yi is favored. Even if he can't sleep with her, the emperor is willing to accompany her. I want to see if she can remain calm and composed when the emperor favors her palace maids during her pregnancy."
As they were talking, a palace maid came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the eunuch De who is with the emperor has arrived."
Wanpin was slightly startled, "The Emperor is in Huayang Palace, why would he send someone to my place now?"
After thinking about it, he ordered someone to invite Xiao Dezi in.
"This servant pays his respects to Concubine Wan."
Wanpin smiled and said politely, "Get up. Why are you here at this hour? What are your instructions, Your Majesty?"
"In reply to your Majesty, the Emperor has just summoned the maid Wei from Huayang Palace for his favor and has decreed that she be made a concubine. She will live with your Majesty in Qingning Palace. Please arrange accommodation for Concubine Wei."
After hearing this, not only Songluo, but even Wanpin herself was stunned. It took her a long while to react. "The emperor favored the maidservant beside Concubine Yi, but he wants to live here with me? Did you hear correctly?"
"Your Majesty is such a joker. The Emperor's words are golden, how dare I lie to him?"
Wanpin's face looked a little grim, but she still tried her best to maintain her dignity. "The Jinxiu Pavilion, a side hall of Qingning Palace, is still empty. I will have someone clean it up and welcome my new sister to move in."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. If you have no other instructions, I will return to report."
"Go ahead, Songluo, and see Eunuch De off properly."
"yes."
Songluo accompanied Xiao Dezi all the way to the palace gate. When she returned to the bedroom, she looked up and saw Wanpin sitting on the couch with a complicated expression.
"Mother?"
Wanpin's face was gloomy, and her mind was full of mixed emotions: "Why would the emperor allow Wei to live here with me? Could it be that he knows something?"
Songluo sighed, "This servant finds it strange too. If the Emperor knew, he would have already made a fuss by now. But I just went to Huayang Palace, and it was quiet inside, with no movement at all."
Wanpin sighed, a coldness in her eyes that didn't match her appearance. "No matter what, we can't let our guard down. Since the Emperor has allowed Wei to live with me, you should order someone to clean up Jinxiu Pavilion. Don't leave any room for gossip."
"Don't worry, your majesty. I will give you the proper instructions."
After an incense stick of time, Wei came to Qingning Palace alone.
Since Concubine Wan was the main lady, she naturally had to pay her a visit. Songluo had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw her coming, she just smiled and led her to the inner hall.
"This servant pays respects to Concubine Wan, and wishes the Empress good health and happiness."
Wanpin smiled and ordered her to take a seat, "You just came to the bed, please sit down first."
"Thank you, my lady."
After the Consort Wei bowed again, she sat down with half her butt tilted. "Sister, your wish has come true. I am here to congratulate you. However, I have one thing I do not understand."
"Yes, please ask, ma'am."
Wanpin took a sip of tea from the cup and said slowly, "You are a palace maid beside Concubine Yi. Logically, you should live in Huayang Palace after you are favored. Why would the emperor let you come here?"
Consort Wei lowered her head and murmured, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't know the answer, but I heard that it was Concubine Yi who suggested it."
"Are you sure it was Concubine Yi who said it herself?" Wanpin narrowed her eyes. She was a little surprised by the answer.
"What Eunuch Zhu said when we came here should be correct."
Wanpin pondered for a moment, her eyes grim, but in just a moment she recovered as usual, "Sister, you have just been favored, so you must be tired. I have already ordered someone to clean up Jinxiu Pavilion, so you can go and rest first."
"Yes, then I will take my leave first."
After Consort Wei left, Concubine Wan sneered, "I pride myself on being clever, but I never expected that the mantis is catching the cicada while the oriole is behind. Concubine Yi is truly well-intentioned."
"You mean, could it be that Concubine Yi already knew Concubine Wei's intentions?"
"I'm afraid it's not just that she knows what Wei is thinking. She probably knows everything I said to her before."
