A lady dressed in gorgeous clothes came forward with her maid, joking with a smile.
Wu smiled slightly and slowly raised her head to look at the lady, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes. "Thank you for the compliments, Madam Zhang. This is all thanks to the Empress Dowager. It's only because the Crown Prince has come of age, and the Empress Dowager personally arranged the ceremony, that's why the palace is so bustling today."
"Oh my, we are all benefiting from the prince's presence today."
Madam Zhang covered her mouth with her hands and giggled, then moved closer to her and asked softly, "Madam Hou, is the prince feeling better?"
Wu was slightly stunned, then smiled gently. She stroked the bracelet on her hand with her fingers and said, "When the prince comes out, Madam can ask him in person. I'm sure if the prince knew that Madam Zhang cared about him so much, he would be very touched."
Madam Zhang's smile froze instantly. "I was just asking casually. Madam Hou is really good at joking. I'll wait and see."
Mrs. Wu smiled slightly, her eyes deep, and her gaze met with Mrs. Zhang's in the air, as if invisible sparks burst out between the two.

This time, she took the opportunity to suppress her.
After a while, a luxurious carriage came from a distance.
"Noble Concubine Xuan has arrived!"

"Welcome Noble Concubine Xuan!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Following the sound of footsteps, a noble figure appeared in everyone's sight.
"Your Highness greets the Imperial Concubine."
Mrs. Wu led everyone and knelt down respectfully.
"Everyone, get up."
A soft voice slowly floated out from the carriage.
Everyone stood up and stood respectfully by, waiting for the imperial concubine to arrive.
"Today is the Crown Prince's coming-of-age day, so there's no need to be so reserved."
Concubine Xuan's voice sounded again, and everyone quickly answered yes.
A moment later, the curtain was lifted and Concubine Xuan stepped off the carriage with the help of palace servants.
She looked extremely charming in her purple dress, yet also had a touch of inviolable reserve that was intimidating.
The golden-pink belt around her waist makes her beautiful figure look even more graceful and beautiful.
Concubine Xuan, who has been favored in the harem for decades, is now over forty years old.
But she has taken very good care of herself, and there is no trace of time on her cheeks. She looks like a person in her early thirties.
