As for the fact that Emperor Xuan Jing asked someone else to sleep with him...she was also very open-minded about it.
After all, this is a feudal dynasty, and Emperor Xuan Jing is the emperor. It is impossible for him to favor her alone, at least for now.
Suppressing the slight strangeness in her heart, Bai Susu warned herself not to think too much and just complete the task well.
I adjusted my mentality and had a good sleep.
The servants in Qixiang Palace saw that their master went to bed so early and thought that he was unhappy. Although they were worried, they did not dare to say anything.

Jiang Yuning hardly slept a wink the whole night, but she was going to pay her respects to the Queen after all, so she couldn't neglect the etiquette. She forced herself to put on full makeup and picked out her most decent clothes.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Jiang Yuning was not happy at all. Having cried all night, her eyes were swollen like walnuts in the morning. She had to apply a hot egg on them before she could barely see people.
A bitter smile appeared on her lips, and when she stood up, her vision went dark and she staggered.
"Master!" Chunying called out tremblingly with worry in her eyes.
Jiang Yuning calmed down for a moment, forced a smile, and said, "Nothing."

When they arrived at Changchun Palace, Jiang Yuning couldn't help but be stared at by the other concubines. They saw that she looked very haggard. Even with makeup, she couldn't hide the faint dark circles under her eyes, not to mention her eyes that were obviously red and swollen from crying.
The concubines looked at each other. This Concubine Jiang has an ordinary appearance and figure, and is too thin. She looks so pitiful. No wonder the emperor doesn't like her!
The queen was as kind and generous as ever. Seeing Jiang Yuning trembling and almost falling, she comforted them with a few words and gave them some tonics to nourish their bodies.
After Jiang Yuning expressed his gratitude, he found a seat at the very bottom and sat down.
As luck would have it, when she looked up, Bai Susu happened to be sitting diagonally opposite her.
At this moment, Bai Susu was also looking at Jiang Yuning, not for any other reason, but because Jiang Yuning had changed so much since the last time she met him.
Although Jiang Yuning has always had a figure as graceful as a willow, she used to have the temperament of Lin Daiyu. At least in Bai Susu's eyes, Jiang Yuning is a true classical beauty.
But Jiang Yuning is really different now. He looks sickly and his eyes, which used to be full of energy, have lost their luster. She still remembers the ambition that occasionally flashed in Jiang Yuning's eyes when he first came to her palace.
It seems that being unfavored can really destroy a girl's spirit.
Their eyes met, and out of politeness, Bai Susu smiled. She had slept well last night, and her complexion was excellent, her face was rosy and translucent, and she looked so tender that you could pinch water out of her.
Jiang Yuning clenched the handkerchief in her hand, feeling quite complicated. She forced a smile and then lowered her eyes.
When his eyes fell on the green color on Bai Susu's body, Jiang Yuning suddenly remembered something like lightning.
Could it be... could it be that the emperor hates her because she imitates Bai Susu's dressing style?
This thought was like a thunderclap, which struck her hard on the outside and tender on the inside.
Her mind was in a mess, and she was so upset that she didn't even respond to Xi Liangyuan's words.
In fact, seeing Jiang Yuning like this, everyone was too lazy to even laugh at or ridicule him.
It's totally different from Bai Susu's fighting spirit after serving the emperor in bed.
But some people are just meaner than others, like Xi Liangyuan. Just now, she was saying, "Why is Sister Jiang's face so pale? Is it because she put on too much makeup?"
Seeing Jiang Yuning's expression change unpredictably and he didn't answer for a long time, Xi Liangyuan's face darkened and she asked again loudly.
Jiang Yuning came back to her senses, and then an inexplicable humiliation surged into her heart. Her eyes instantly became moist. She pinched her palms tightly, trying not to lose her composure in Changchun Palace.
She said softly, "My complexion has always been paler than that of ordinary people. Perhaps it's because I was born with insufficient Qi and blood."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Xi Liangyuan snorted coldly and was too lazy to even make things difficult for her.
The subsequent greetings were much calmer.
However, after going out, Jiang Yuning couldn't come back to his senses for a long time when he saw Bai Susu's graceful green figure leaving.

Next, Emperor Xuan Jing favored Xi Liangyuan, Jing Zhaorong and others, but he only favored them for one night and none of them stood out too much.
It can be said that the wind direction in the harem has changed again. Everyone has noticed that the emperor has been entering the harem very frequently recently, and he seems to be treating everyone equally.
It was natural that Bai Susu couldn't sleep with the emperor because her green card was removed due to her menstruation, but some people still gloated and thought that the emperor treated Bai Susu equally just after the conflict between Bai Susu and Concubine Hui. Could it be that she had completely fallen out of favor?
In short, the emperor loves to come to the harem, and the concubines are happy to see him. Considering the emperor's attitude, who knows who will be the next one to be favored, so they have to dress themselves up well. Therefore, the Clothing Bureau has been very busy recently.

In Changchun Palace, the queen was leaning on the soft couch, embroidering her nightgown stitch by stitch, with a gentle expression.
One can tell from the Minghuang style that it was made for His Majesty.
Nanny Zhang brought a cup of fragrant tea and placed it on the coral kang table beside the queen. She said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, you have been embroidering for a long time. Take a break."
The Queen remained unmoved, still concentrating on embroidering the dragon claws on his nightgown. "The last time I saw the Emperor, I noticed that his nightgown was old and looked shabby. I've been feeling unwell and neglected it. I must make a new one in the next few days."
In fact, if the emperor wanted it, he would have no shortage of pajamas, and the noble empress would not have to do anything.
But the Queen is such a meticulous person.
Since the Emperor's stay in the palace, the Empress has always made the Emperor's pajamas for many years.
