"My Lord, it's all done."
Gu Xiaoqiao nodded. "Well done, reward. Also, double the salary for everyone in Wanyue Palace this month."
For no other reason than that she was happy.
"Thank you for the reward, my lord!"
Suddenly, the entire palace was filled with an atmosphere of joy.
......
Soon, the news that Gu Jinqiao, the daughter of the Jiangnan prefect, was lavishly rewarded and promoted by the emperor on her first night with the emperor spread to every corner of the palace.
For a moment, everyone in the harem was talking about it.
Some people are extremely envious, some are very disdainful, some are jealous to death, and some are furious.
Gu Jinqiao is just a bastard girl, and her family background is not high. How can she be favored by the emperor?!

However, many people, out of jealousy, began to study the emperor's taste.
Most of the women in Jiangnan are charming and speak in a soft and sweet voice. Could it be that their emperor doesn't like them but likes this type?

But for Gu Xiaoqiao, this was just the right time for peace and quiet.
At night, Gu Xiaoqiao sat by the window, holding a cup of tea in her hand, drinking tea and eating fruits, feeling extremely comfortable.
Caiwei and Yingxia were embroidering on the side.
"My lady, didn't the emperor say he would come to see you after finishing his official duties? It's been several days and he still hasn't come..."
Caiwei couldn't help but mutter.
Gu Xiaoqiao chuckled when she heard this, "Why rush? What's coming will come sooner or later."
However, just as she finished her words, the door creaked open.
