The Ningsheng Palace, which was closed to visitors in the past, is now more lively than ever before.

As soon as Wei Jie left, Ning Shuyuan came forward and pulled her to her side.

"Sister-in-law, you are so lucky. Look how much my brother loves you. You are so careful this is your first time in the palace. Are you afraid that we will bully you? Haha."

Queen Mother Wen also smiled at Ling Yuan and said, "That's right. This old man has always been cold and icy. I thought he didn't know how to be considerate. I never thought that after getting married, he would change drastically."

"Look, he never comes to my Ningsheng Palace on weekdays, but today I am blessed by you!"

Ling Yuan was about to kneel down and apologize when she heard that, but Ning Shuyuan pulled her back and said, "Look how scared you are. The Queen Mother is just teasing you."

As he spoke, he looked at the Queen Mother with a look of reproach, "Mother, look how scared you are of the child. This is her first time entering the palace after her marriage. Let's not scare her."

"Haha, okay, okay, come on, Shuyuan, come on, introduce Yuan'er to me."

Ling Yuan, who followed Wei Jie in with lowered head and a submissive look, noticed that there were quite a few people sitting in the hall. After paying respects to the empress dowager, Wei Jie left. It was only now that she realized what was going on.

"Oh, look at my memory. Come on, Yuan'er, come here, let me introduce you."

As she spoke, she took Ling Yuan's hand and walked to the first table sitting to the right of the empress dowager, and said softly: "Empress Xi, this is the seventh son's wife, Ling Yuan, this is Empress Xi."

Concubine Xi's complexion had obviously changed drastically compared to a month ago. Today, she was wearing a lilac-colored palace dress, which made her look even more beautiful and elegant. When Ling Yuan looked up at her, she gave her a very warm smile.

"Your Highness, I greet you. May you live in peace and happiness."

"No, no, Princess Feng, please get up quickly."

Concubine Xi hurriedly walked out from her seat, personally helped Ling Yuan up, and looked at her gently.

"Princess Feng, this is really embarrassing for me. Please get up quickly. No need to be polite."

Normally they should have entered the palace the day after their wedding, but they were delayed because of Du Zi's murderous intent.

Moreover, Wei Yuchen was not happy to see them at that time, so the meeting was cancelled. Naturally, the gift was given today.

Although they had heard that the Princess Feng had an unusual appearance, they were still shocked when they saw her today. However, having lived in the deep palace for a long time, they had already developed the ability to not show their displeasure on their faces.

But when she really looked into her eyes, Concubine Xi fell in love with this Princess Xiaoqi who had clear, bright eyes at first sight.

It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. No matter what she looks like, her pair of pure, bright and clear eyes are enough to win people's hearts.

Her eyes are very beautiful, with long and curled eyelashes, and clear eyes that seem to be able to see through everything at a glance. She is not contaminated by the complexity and hustle and bustle of the world, and she is the only outlier in this huge palace.

She immediately ordered someone to give her her gift, which was placed in an exquisite box. After Ling Yuan thanked her, she looked at her with a smile and said, "Princess Feng, open it and see if you like it?"

Ling Yuan looked at her with gratitude, and then slowly opened the flawless white jade box.

The scene that caught her eyes made Ling Yuan raise her eyes in surprise, "Empress Xi, this, this is too expensive. How can I, your concubine, deserve such a sum of money?"

It turned out that the box did not contain the jewelry that Ling Yuan thought it was, but a set of exquisite gold needles.

"How do you like it?"

"I like it very much, but Madam,"

"As long as you like it, don't worry about whether it's expensive or not. You should give people what they like. You should give them something thoughtful. Princess Feng is such a skilled doctor, so she deserves better."

"I feel so unworthy to receive such praise from Her Majesty Xi Fei. I like this gift very much. Thank you for your kindness."

As he was about to kneel down to thank her, he was stopped by Wen Xiya herself: "Okay, we are all family, get up quickly."

"Come here, seventh brother's sister-in-law, this is Empress Zhenfei." After introducing Concubine Xi, Ning Shuyuan took Ling Yuan and turned to the first person on her left.

Qiu Zhen was wearing a flamboyant rose-red palace dress, which made her look even more radiant and charming.

Ling Yuan had a deep understanding of Wei Yuchen's harem before she got married, but at that time the revenge of "Du Zi's life-demanding" had not yet broken out.

Even so, Qiu Zhen's life experience was dug out by her. She looked down on and disliked this traitor of the Du family who colluded with the emperor from the bottom of her heart.

Especially since this person had been domineering in the harem for many years with the emperor's connivance. Looking at her beautiful and mean face, Ling Yuan couldn't help but think of Concubine Hua in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Both were beautiful and charming, and both were favorite concubines in the harem, but Qiu Zhen was more hateful than Hua Fei because she betrayed her own people, betrayed the late queen, and even betrayed herself.

Normally, such people would not have a good ending, just like Concubine Hua, or the arrival of "Du Zi Xiu Ming".

The life-claiming spell is still going on, and as the most important person in the incident, Ling Yuan feels that the person behind it should not let her go just like that.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, not because it is too late, but because the time has not come.

Therefore, when looking at this face again, all that is left is the pity of "there must be something hateful about a pitiful person".

Qiu Zhen had long heard that the princess that King Feng married was very extraordinary. Not only was she proficient in both medicine and poison at such a young age, but most importantly, she could also hold King Feng's heart. This was not easy at all.

Especially since there was such a huge age gap between them and she would not be able to reach the age of marriage for another few years, it was difficult for ordinary people to get the favor of the prince, not to mention...

She is so ugly and has so much fat on her body. I guess even if she and Mu Han were weighed together, they might not be as heavy as her, right?

"Your Highness, I have met Her Majesty Zhenfei. May Your Highness be blessed with good health and happiness."

Concubine Xi was polite to her and did not ask her to kneel down and perform the full ceremony. However, Concubine Zhen, after she kowtowed, stood up with a bright smile, being hypocritically polite.

"Seventh brother and sister-in-law, please get up quickly. Today, I finally get to see the real person, and I can give away this gift that I prepared a long time ago. However, the gift I prepared is not as good as the one that Concubine Xi prepared for you. I hope you will not despise it when you go!"

Wen Xiya, who had just picked up the teacup, couldn't help but frown when she heard Qiu Zhen calling Ling Yuan "seventh brother's sister-in-law".

In Siyou Country, only the principal wife is qualified to be called that. As the princess consort of Rong Palace, Ning Shuyuan can naturally do so.

But they, even if they are the favorite concubines in the harem, do not have this qualification.

The only one who can be called like that is the current Queen. Even if she is already the Imperial Noble Consort, she is not allowed to be called like that.

But as for Qiu Zhen, does she really not know, or is she pretending not to know?

Another person who noticed that Qiu Zhen's address was inappropriate was Ning Shuyuan, who was always by Ling Yuan's side. Just like Wen Xiya, she also frowned at this time.

On the contrary, Ling Yuan did not notice the inappropriateness in this. After a brief exchange with Zhen Fei, he saw her take out the gift she had prepared for him.

It was a very high-end, classy and premium headdress, beautiful, exquisite and dazzling, just like Qiu Zhen herself, eye-catching wherever she went.

"This headgear was given to me by the Emperor. I have always liked it. Today, I met my seventh sister-in-law and we really got along well. It is the most appropriate to wear it for the occasion. I hope my seventh sister-in-law will like it."

"This..., Your Majesty is so willing to give up this thing, how can I afford it? This is too precious, too exquisite, your majesty,"

"Hey, look at what my sister-in-law said. No matter how precious this headdress is, it is not as valuable as my seventh sister-in-law's, right? You are our benefactor today. Please accept it quickly, and don't be polite to me."

"You don't know, ever since you and the Phoenix King got married, so many people in and out of the palace have wanted to see you, the Phoenix King's wife, but it was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Fortunately, the Phoenix King was willing to bring you out. Otherwise, we would have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time, but it would have been difficult!"

Things have come to this point. If Ling Yuan insists, he will just give her the gift to save face. He will stop being pretentious and accept it with gratitude.

Only then did Zhenfei sit down with satisfaction.

Then came the arrival of Concubine Jing, Concubine Lan, Concubine Yun, Concubine Yi, and even later a series of concubines such as Xiuyuan and Chongyi, which really made someone overwhelmed with gifts.

Even the beautiful lady Yu Yan, who seldom appears in public, carefully prepared gifts.

After the concubines in the harem, it is the turn of the royal relatives and court ladies. Of course, they do not need to prepare gifts, unless they are close relatives of the royal family. The rest just need to get to know them.

The whole process went smoothly. No one made things difficult for her. Even if they didn't like her, they wouldn't show it at this time.

During this period, she also met several princesses, young princesses, and princesses. Many of them were about her age, but because of her status, no one dared to mess with her. They just nodded politely and regarded her as an acquaintance.
