When Wan Ge stepped out, the other concubines were already waiting for her to go and take their seats together.
Consort Li immediately went up to Wan Ge when she saw her. She had always known that Wan Ge was very beautiful, had a special temperament, and was relatively gentle.
However, they didn't know that Zishutang liked someone else, so they were extremely prejudiced against her.
Now that I know, my prejudice against her has lessened, and I find her more pleasing to the eye. Plus, she's dressed up so carefully today, she really does look even more beautiful.
"The Imperial Concubine is so beautiful, and she looks even more beautiful in this gorgeous attire."
Another less common but also a concubine, Consort Lan, immediately chimed in: "Yes, sister is beautiful no matter how you look at her, unlike some people who look stingy and look like a joke no matter how they dress up."
When Wan Ge heard them say that, she subconsciously looked at Yun Mei.
The other person's clothes and jewelry were of the finest quality, but given their delicate and gentle appearance, this attire was indeed somewhat inappropriate and did not match their temperament.
Although she was just a beauty in the past, she dressed simply because of her status, which gave her an air of purity and detachment from worldly affairs.
This has indeed ruined some of her original beauty.
Consort Li approached Wan Ge and said, "Sister, do you know that Consort Yun is pregnant again?"
In their eyes, the argument between the Imperial Concubine and His Majesty only made someone more smug. His Majesty didn't even bother pretending anymore. When the Imperial Concubine wasn't around, he spent all his time playing around with Consort Yun... oh, I mean, Consort Yun.
His favor towards Consort Yun was now fully revealed; a concubine was severely punished by His Majesty for merely saying a few words that offended her.
His Majesty's meaning was clear: if no family could protect her, then he would protect her personally.
The fact that the other party was protecting her so openly only made those who were already jealous of Yunmei even more jealous.
"Is that so? In that case, His Majesty should reward you handsomely." Wan Ge's expression was particularly cold. She knew what Consort Li meant; she wanted her to take action? Ha, but she didn't care at all.
Seeing her cold reaction, Consort Li was also a little puzzled by her thoughts, so in the end she didn't say anything more and stood behind Wan Ge with Consort Lan, silently following her.
…
Since there was no empress at the moment, the person sitting next to Zishutang was naturally Wan Ge.
Wan Ge looked at one general after another, as well as his deputy generals and strategists, but none of them were the person she was looking for.
He suddenly felt a little nervous. How could this be? Could it be that he wasn't a general or a strategist?
Just as Wan Ge was about to be disappointed, a voice suddenly called out from the doorway: "The Princess has arrived."
All eyes turned to the doorway, where they saw Princess Shuyan, dressed in red, with an extremely tall figure, exquisite features, and stunning beauty.
When Wan Ge saw the other person, her hand trembled slightly. She had thought she would become good friends or business partners with the princess, but she never expected that... the other person would turn out to be her little villain. But why did the other person become the princess? What exactly did he go through?
Having lived through so many lifetimes, Wan Ge was absolutely certain that the other person was not a woman. She just didn't understand why the other person would choose to be a woman.
After Zishu Yan entered, his gaze fell on Wange. In fact, he had met his younger brother's wife before, but they had only met briefly and had not spoken.
