Bai Susu took a sip of tea, smiled faintly and said nothing. What was there for her to be sad about? Emperor Xuan Jing was just busy recently. The entire harem was eagerly waiting for the emperor to come, but in the end, wasn't it only the empress and Concubine Hui who got to see the emperor?
As for these small fry, they could only wait. However, because they had Tongzi as their golden finger, they knew that meeting the emperor was only a matter of time, so they were not in a hurry.
But Jiang Yuning in front of him was already impatient.
Jiang Yuning was indeed anxious. Although she was conferred the title of Talented Lady, one rank higher than Bai Susu, this was only because her father's official rank was one level higher. However, she was a concubine's daughter and was not favored by her father.
After entering the harem, she was full of confidence, thinking that she could win the emperor's favor on her own, and then get her father's approval, and even her life would be better if she stayed at home as a concubine.
But unexpectedly, the new beauties were called one by one, but it was not her turn yet. She comforted herself that she should just wait, because it would eventually come and she would be favored by the emperor.
But something happened in the court, and Emperor Xuan Jing suddenly stopped entering the harem. For a whole month, she saw the fickleness of the people in the palace. When they saw that you were not favored, even the lowest palace maids and eunuchs would give you a cold shoulder...
Her life was even worse than when she was a concubine. Because she was sentimental by nature, she shed countless tears every day, hoping that the emperor would remember her.
The emperor finally re-entered the harem, but he still had no intention of summoning new concubines.
A terrifying thought suddenly occurred to Jiang Yuning: Would the Emperor forget her?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Jiang Yuning broke out in a cold sweat. Yes, the emperor had never seen her before. If no one reminded him, how could he remember her?
Was she going to die of old age in the palace? She was terrified, so she came to find Bai Susu. At this time, she was still thankful that she was not the only one who was forgotten. After all, Bai Susu did not sleep with her either.
However, this trip was completely different from what Jiang Yuning had imagined. He had thought that Bai Susu, with such a beauty, would be arrogant and would not be able to accept the fact that she did not sleep with him. However, he did not expect that she would be so relaxed and leisurely living her own life, not affected at all.
Jiang Yuning couldn't help feeling depressed after listening to Bai Susu's bland words of comfort.
We chatted for a few more minutes and then left.
After Jiang Yuning left, Manxia was puzzled: "Master, why does Consort Jiang keep saying that the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in bloom? Are they really as beautiful as she says?"
Looking at Manxia's innocent look, Bai Susu laughed: "It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, your master and I won't go either."
Nanchun glared at Manxia as if warning, and said, "Master, it's right not to go. There are many people in the Imperial Garden, and it would be bad if you bump into someone."
What Jiang Cairen meant was that she could meet the emperor by chance in the Imperial Garden, and she wanted to persuade her master to go there. No one could fail to see what she meant.
He didn't dare to do it himself, but wanted his master to pave the way for him and be the first to do it. Nanchun was very contemptuous of him.
Bai Susu's mind was as clear as a mirror. Jiang Yuning was simply afraid that everyone would forget about these two concubines who had not yet served the emperor in bed, so they wanted to go to the imperial garden to find a sense of existence.
But she was still very cautious. After all, she might meet some high-ranking concubines in the Imperial Garden, so they wanted to instigate her... After all, on some level, the two of them were now one, both were ladies who had not yet served the emperor in bed... When she thought of one, she would naturally think of the other.
Bai Susu didn't have a good impression of Jiang Yuning. She was too scheming. They were almost strangers to each other, but he was plotting against her so blatantly. Did he really think she was a beauty with big breasts and no brains?
Thinking of Jiang Yuning's depressed look when he left just now, Bai Susu felt relieved.
I won't offend anyone unless they offend me, but I won't indulge you.
Later, I heard that Jiang Yuning really went to the Imperial Garden to "stroll" and for some reason bumped into Princess Baohua and was punished.
Bai Susu knew even more clearly that her idea was correct. Not only was the probability of running into the emperor in the imperial garden low, but the probability of running into a high-ranking concubine was very high.
Especially since she was the lowest-ranking concubine in the palace and had never served in the emperor's bed. With that face, she looked like a complete idiot. Those high-ranking concubines could crush her to death. Although she had a son, she didn't want to suffer any more physical pain.
I heard that Jiang Yuning was ordered to be put under house arrest by Concubine Hui.
All I can do is to behave myself first, and when I meet the emperor, I will be able to successfully sleep with him with my looks.
Having served in the emperor's bed, she has become famous and no longer has to be afraid of anyone.

After the emperor saw Princess Baohua, he did not enter the harem for a few days. It was five days later when he returned.
This time the emperor went to Jingpin's residence, Chonghua Palace.
Jingpin is also an old lady in the palace. She has been serving the emperor since he was still a prince. Now the emperor is over 30 years old, so her age is naturally not young.
But it's strange to say, although she didn't go often, the emperor never forgot her and often gave her rewards.
In fact, there was only one reason why Emperor Xuan Jing went. Concubine Jing came from a medical family and was good at massage. Especially since he had a headache, and if there were too many things happening in the court, it would relapse.
Although this is not a life-threatening disease, it is a serious illness. The Imperial Hospital has been treating it for a long time but has not come up with any solution.
He didn't want to see the imperial physician every time he had an attack, as this would only make the previous dynasty doubt the physical condition of him as the monarch. So when he couldn't bear it anymore, he would come to Chonghua Palace and let Jingpin massage him to seek a moment of comfort.
Today, when he came, Bai Susu was there too. Jingpin had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and Chonghua Palace was remote, so few people came. Although it was uncomfortable to look at Susu's bright color, it was also fun to call her to talk from time to time.
How could she have imagined that Emperor Xuan Jing had not entered the harem for several days and was still thinking about her.
Susu was also very confused. She was talking to Jingpin when Xueting, the senior palace maid beside Jingpin, hurried over and said something in Jingpin's ear.
Susu saw that Jingpin's eyes lit up and her whole face showed joy. She seemed to want to go in and put on makeup, but she looked at Susu with embarrassment.
Bai Susu was very clever and was just about to get up and leave when she heard footsteps outside, followed by a clatter of people kneeling down: "Your Majesty, may you be well and safe."
The emperor came in very quickly, bringing a gust of wind. Concubine Jing had no time to dress up, and Susu had no time to take her leave. The main person had arrived, and they had no choice but to follow the crowd and kneel down.
Therefore, she could only see a pair of black dragon boots embroidered with gold patterns passing in front of her.
In the feudal dynasty, kneeling is not shameful, Su Su thought.
Although Jingpin was very happy to see the emperor come in, she felt inexplicably uneasy when she looked at Susu who was sitting below her.
She smiled and greeted Emperor Xuan Jing in a voice ten times more tender than Su Su had ever heard.
"No need for formalities." Emperor Xuan Jing's voice was gentle and low, unlike the murderous tone described by the system. Facing Concubine Jing who bowed to pay her respects, he strode forward without stopping and sat directly at the top seat.
