When Song Xi woke up, the emperor was gone.
However, the imperial edict conferring her the title of Concubine quickly spread throughout the six palaces.
Song Xi was of course also surprised. After all, her sister, Queen Song, had been reluctant to promote her, saying that the emperor was afraid of the Song family.
But she was directly promoted to Jieyu after only serving the emperor for one night.
The emperor doesn't look like he's afraid of the Song family at all.
Concubine Song couldn't help but feel a little suspicious about her sister's words.
Eunuch Fu even stayed in front of Song Xi and said, "The Emperor is very satisfied with Concubine Song. When Concubine Song first entered the palace, the Emperor wanted to make you a Concubine, but the Empress was noble and refused to show favoritism, so the Emperor had no choice but to follow the Empress's wishes."
"Look, these rewards are given by the Emperor to the Concubine."
Upon hearing this, Song Xi became even more dissatisfied with Queen Song. What Eunuch Fu said was completely different from what her sister said.
But why did her sister treat her like this?
You know, when she was in the Song family, her sister treated her very well.
Could it be that her sister is really jealous of her good looks and afraid that she will steal the emperor's favor, so she deliberately suppresses her?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, several concubines of lower rank came to look for her.
"I congratulate Concubine Song."
"Song Jieyu is a daughter of the Song family after all, and she's different from the rest of us. But she was given the title of Jieyu after just one night of serving the emperor in bed, and now she has the Empress looking after her. What's going to happen to her in the future?"
"I will have to rely on Concubine Song for my care from now on."
The sounds of flattery and praise made Song Xi completely lost, and she really thought so in her heart.
She was a little vague about what happened last night. She only remembered that she was a little sleepy. But the emperor seemed to have kept her company for the whole night, and she was still a little sleepy now. He also made her a concubine, so he must like her very much, right?
Maybe I even like her a little more. After all, she is more lively than her sister, and her sister is more dignified. But which man would like such a dignified and rigid woman?
She became more and more complacent, and she said to the concubines: "Okay, okay."
Then he slowly went to pay his respects to Queen Song.
Of course, Queen Song also knew the news that Song Xi was conferred the title of Concubine. The emperor did not even discuss it with her, and she looked very unhappy. However, Concubine Shu and Concubine De were still with her, so Queen Song could only force a smile.
"The daughters of the Song family are truly all good. Even the concubines have great potential." Concubine Shu said to Empress Song with a smile, pretending to be joking. "It's only been three years since the Emperor ascended the throne that he's shown such affection for the Empress. Now, there's another Concubine Song."
"If one day Concubine Song's favor surpasses that of the Emperor..."
She suddenly stopped talking.
The Queen looked straight at Concubine Shu, "Concubine Shu, you're joking. This palace and Concubine Song have a deep sisterly bond. This palace is also very happy that she is favored by the Emperor. This palace hopes that the Emperor will like her even more."
Concubine Shu said, "The Empress is quite open-minded. If it were me, I would never be so open-minded, even if that person was my sister."
De Fei also said: "Yes, before entering the palace, they were sisters. After entering the palace, they were all concubines of the emperor. There is no such thing as sisters."
"Today they are sisters, tomorrow they are sworn enemies. Of course, the Song family won't think anything of it. After all, they are all daughters of the Song family. It doesn't matter who is favored, but it's different for the queen."
Their intention to instigate was too obvious. Even though the queen knew they had bad intentions, these words could not help but enter her mind.
Her mother naturally had her best interests at heart, so as early as when the doctor said that she was not suitable for pregnancy, her mother took Song Xi to her room to raise her, and deliberately raised her to be so stupid.
But it is different for the Song family. No matter whether she is a legitimate daughter or a concubine's daughter, she is a daughter of the Song family and anyone can be the queen.
Queen Song kept comforting herself, saying that Song Xi didn't have that kind of brains, and that the emperor would definitely not really fall in love with someone as stupid as Song Xi.
Concubine Shu then asked, "Why hasn't Concubine Song come yet, and what about the other concubines?"
"They used to be the most active in coming, but why are they so…"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people led by Concubine Song arrived late.
There was a smug look in Concubine Song's eyes, and she seemed to be a little provocative when she spoke to the Queen.
They went forward to pay their respects to the Empress, and Concubine Shu asked maliciously, "Why did Concubine Song come so late today? We are tired of waiting."
Concubine Song said shyly, "I was a little tired yesterday."
Her legs are still a little numb.
Queen Song looked at Concubine Song with a complicated expression. She saw that her sister had a rosy face and a hint of fatigue in the corners of her eyes.
She had experienced this before, so she naturally understood why it looked like this.
Actually seeing it is another matter. Queen Song could not calm down when she thought that the tenderness that originally belonged to her was being used on another woman.
The handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn to pieces.
Concubine Song said shyly to Queen Song, "Sister, you won't mind these little things, right?"
Queen Song closed her eyes, but ultimately she couldn't control the anger in her heart. She said to Concubine Song, "Is this how the Song family taught you to become spoiled? Go out and kneel down."
"Sister?" Concubine Song didn't expect this, and her eyes widened in surprise.
Queen Song said coldly, "It's precisely because I'm your eldest sister. If I can't even teach my own younger sister well, how can I be the head of the imperial palace?"
