After Su Ruohua returned to the Earl's Mansion, she felt ashamed to face the people in the mansion, so she stayed in Madam Liu's yard and refused to take a step out.
Aunt Liu was afraid that she would be depressed, so she stayed with her all day long.
Therefore, it was not until the day Su Wanti entered the palace that they learned that Su Wanti had been named Zhenpin and had become the emperor's woman.
Aunt Liu was a very thoughtful person. She frowned and pondered while holding a cup of warm tea.
"Strange, how did she get the title of concubine? Even though the master is having a hard time, he wouldn't offer his own daughter to the emperor in order to beg for mercy!"
Seeing that Su Ruohua didn't respond, she tilted her head, thought for a while, and said:
"The day after Su Wanti married into the Marquis' Mansion, she went to live at the manor for half a month. After returning, she attended the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Could it be that she was favored by the Emperor at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet?"
Aunt Liu looked at Su Ruhua with eyes full of questions.
Su Ruohua was writing furiously and said impatiently:
"How do I know when they hooked up? Mother, she's courting her own death. There's no future for her following the emperor. Everyone knows the emperor is no good. In ten years, there hasn't been a single child in the harem. I think Su Wanti will die alone in the palace. Let's just wait and see her make a fool of herself!"
Now, she was busy writing down her very real dream of becoming a queen, not missing any details.
She needed to think carefully about what went wrong and why Xiao Huaihe abandoned her.
Not only did Concubine Liu think so, but after hearing the news that Earl Su's daughter had entered the palace, both the former court and the harem thought so.
The emperor actually took Su Wanti, who had just divorced, into the harem. Everyone in the officials of the capital knew that Su Wanti had been married into a marquis's mansion and served as his daughter-in-law.
Could it be at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet...
At that time, Su Wanti had not yet divorced Xiao Huaihe.
Tsk tsk——
People started talking about it in private, and rumors spread quietly.
When Xiao Huaihe heard about this, he figured out something. When he went out again, he felt that his colleagues' eyes were looking at him in a strange way.
He only felt that his hair was slightly green, and his desire to be adopted as the crown prince became stronger.
Not everyone sympathized with Xiao Huaihe. Prince Qi, Prince Jing and others thought that this was Xiao Huaihe's trick to please the emperor.
They had seen Su Wanti at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. She was a rare and stunning beauty!
She is charming and otherworldly, and with a little dressing up she looks much better than Xiao Huai and the concubine beside him.
They were wondering why Xiao Huaihe ignored his beautiful wife, but was so affectionate with his concubine who could only be described as pretty.
Now they suddenly realized that Xiao Huaihe was very scheming. He deliberately brought a mediocre concubine to highlight the beauty of his wife so that the emperor would fall in love with her at first sight!
Now, while secretly cursing Xiao Huaihe as a despicable villain who offered his wife, they were looking for beautiful women in the family and looking for opportunities to send them to the palace.
Su Wanti was not aware of these rumors about the former dynasty and the harem.
Now, no one gossips in front of her, and besides, she doesn't care.
If a divorced girl from a noble family enters the harem, even if she is innocent, rumors will arise. What's more, the relationship between her and the emperor is not innocent.
Her goal was clear: first, to give birth to an heir for the emperor, to prevent this small world from falling into a struggle for the throne among various forces, and to prevent the people from suffering.
The second is to protect the Su family.
Others can say whatever they want, she just needs to complete these two tasks well and avoid her soul being destroyed.
After Su Wanti entered the palace, she was arranged to stay in Yaoguang Palace.
She is the only concubine in the Yaoguang Palace.
Su Wanti only brought Su Yue and Chun Tao into the palace, and the other palace maids were arranged by Eunuch De.
The palace maid in charge is called Anxun, about thirty years old. She used to be an imperial servant. She is calm and doesn't talk much, which makes people feel at ease just by looking at her.
Su Wanti now behaved like a noble lady. Facing the palace maids, she said a few words that combined kindness and severity, and then asked Su Yue to reward each of them with some silver.
At night, Su Wanti was ready to serve the emperor in bed.
This was her first night in the palace. If nothing unexpected happened, Emperor Xiao Ping would summon her to sleep with him.
But she waited until late at night and still did not receive the summons to sleep with him.
Maybe Emperor Xiao Ping had some urgent matters to deal with and couldn't take care of it!
Su Wanti comforted herself and fell asleep alone.
The next day, there was no summons to sleep with him.
Still nothing on the third day.
A restless atmosphere began to appear in Yaoguang Palace. Some palace servants became lazy in their work, while some began to make a living on their own and thought about being transferred to other concubines.
Su Wanti didn't care about them, but what surprised her was that An Xun quietly transferred away those palace servants who had ulterior motives and replaced them with a group of new people.
After going back and forth a few times, all the palace maids in the Yaoguang Palace became calm and down-to-earth.
Su Wanti originally thought that after entering the palace, she would have to face the intrigues and bloody court struggles, but that did not happen. Life in the harem was very peaceful, even boring.
When the concubines in the harem saw that she was also unable to see the emperor like them, they felt relieved and began to speak ill of her and mock her. Su Wanti ignored them, and this made them bolder, thinking that she was a soft persimmon that was easy to manipulate.
On the tenth day, Su Wanti still did not wait for Emperor Xiao Ping.
Just as she was thinking about how to meet Emperor Xiao Ping, the opportunity came.
On this day, after paying their respects to the Queen, the concubines withdrew and returned to their palaces.
Su Wanti was walking when she was suddenly bumped by someone. The person hit her with great force, and she was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Looking up, I saw that the person had a pretty face and was dressed in bright clothes. It was Miss Qiao.
This beautiful lady Qiao was very arrogant. She held her head high, looked at people with her nose down, and crossed her hands in front of her chest. She was rude and arrogant.
She sneered, "I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you're just like us, unable to see the Emperor!"
Concubine Qiao had a very high opinion of herself, but after entering the palace, she had never been summoned by the emperor, nor had she ever served him in bed. She felt resentful, but she did not dare to vent her anger on the high-ranking concubines who entered the palace earlier, so she made trouble for the concubines who entered the palace later.
She was not afraid of any punishment. She had done this many times. The emperor didn't care about such minor things.
Moreover, Su Wanti is very cowardly. She never talks back when others mock her. Such a coward can be bullied at will.
[Ding! Host, the Emperor is nearby.]
Su Wanti's eyes flashed and she immediately became alert.
Now, let me start my show!
Su Wanti blinked, and in an instant her eyes were filled with tears, looking pitiful.
She was uneasy and cautious, her voice so weak and small that only Lady Qiao could hear it clearly, "Sister Qiao, figure it out yourself, you are not as good as me——"
A complete provocation.
"What did you say?" Qiao Mei was extremely angry and reached out to hit him.
"How dare you!" An angry shout suddenly rang out. It was the voice of Eunuch De.
The two of them were stunned at the same time and looked in the direction of the voice. Emperor Xiao Ping was standing not far away from them, facing the sun, and their expression could not be seen clearly.
