"Now that you mention it, I'm a little curious about how beautiful she is."
Xiao Shuangbao tilted her head. "The most beautiful concubine in this palace should be Concubine Wang, right? Could it be that all the new concubines are even more beautiful than Concubine Wang?"
"After all, Concubine Wang is old. How can she not compare to the freshness and tenderness of these teenage girls? Oh, little princess, you are too young to understand these things. Men, after all, like these fresh and tender things!"
Mianmian spoke in a mature tone.
Although she is in this body now, she is only seven or eight years old.
But as a spirit, she had lived for a very long time and had seen many men in the world.
After listening to her, Xiao Shuangbao nodded and didn't take the matter too seriously.
The draft just ended.
On the first day, these new concubines were nervous and expectant, wondering whose card Emperor Chengxuan would choose tonight.
This is very important for their future status in the palace.
Whoever is chosen represents who is more favored by the emperor.
However, it was not until very late that news came from the imperial court that the emperor was busy with government affairs that night and would not go to the harem.
Although the newcomers made some mistakes, they were secretly relieved.
At least I am not favored, and neither are others, but that doesn’t mean I have lost.
According to the rules, the newlyweds had to pay their respects to the Queen early the next morning.
They all got up early in the morning and went to the Queen's Weiyang Palace to wait.
During this break, a group of women gathered together and naturally talked a lot.
The newlyweds were very curious about the situation in the palace.
But according to the rumors before entering the palace, they were more curious about the legendary extremely favored Princess Lingfu. It was said that since she entered the palace, the former Concubine Su had been demoted again and again and was eventually stabbed to death.
Huifei, one of the four concubines, was also executed by the emperor because she offended her.
Because of her mistakes, Concubine Wang was stripped of her status as a concubine and sent to the cold palace. However, because she saved the little princess, she was restored to her status as a concubine and was able to move out of the cold palace.
The newcomers don’t know how exaggerated these rumors are.
But the clever newcomer has silently understood a rule of survival in the harem, which is that he must never offend Princess Lingfu!
As for the stupid ones, they felt somewhat dissatisfied.
Not to mention, some concubines were deliberately stirring up trouble here.
"Speaking of which, these new sisters who arrived this time are really pitiful. Concubine Zheng was said to be the one who caught the emperor's eye the most, and was directly appointed as a concubine. But on the first day, she didn't even see the emperor! I'm afraid Concubine Zheng must be feeling very uncomfortable."
Concubine Zhang, who had already entered the palace, sat there, covering her mouth and saying with a smile.
Concubine Zheng's eyebrows twitched, and a sense of discomfort surged in her heart.
"The Emperor is busy with state affairs and has no time to come to the harem. I, your concubine, will understand and will not dare to complain in the slightest."
She said in a slightly cold tone.
"Oh, it's not that you don't dare, but that you don't have it?"
Concubine Zhang seized on her words and said with a smile, "It's right that you don't dare. You should know that before the selection, some servants in the palace gossiped about the little princess and were even ordered to be beaten to death by the Empress!
"The little princess is not the Empress's daughter, but she is treated as her own and doted on. How much more so is the Emperor?
"So last night, when they said the Emperor was busy with government affairs, it was just an excuse for the Emperor to put off the harem. In reality, the Emperor was accompanying the little princess to study and write, and he was so busy with the little princess that he had no time to come to the harem at all!"
After she said this, she glanced at him lightly.
Sure enough, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on the faces of many newcomers.
Concubine Zheng also frowned slightly.
Concubine Zhang knew her words had worked, and just then the head maid of the Weiyang Palace said in a majestic tone, "The Empress has arrived!"
She immediately stood up and greeted them with everyone else, dropping the topic.
Little Shuangbao naturally didn't know what was said here.
Every night, Emperor Cheng Xuan would accompany her to read books, write, etc.
Although last night was the first night after the newlyweds were canonized, which was equivalent to their wedding night, Emperor Chengxuan should have picked them to enter the harem, but in his eyes, how could these beauties whom he had only seen once be as important as little babies?
She was afraid that the little baby would think too much, so she simply asked the emperor to pass on the message and did not let her enter the harem.
However, unexpectedly, there were still people in the harem secretly stirring up trouble, causing many new concubines to feel that Xiao Shuangbao was too troublesome. As a princess, she still pestered the emperor, affecting their favor, which would affect their status in the palace in the future.
But they are not fools.
She only dared to keep these dissatisfactions in her heart, or complain to her trusted palace maids, but she never dared to say them out loud in public.
For several days, Emperor Cheng Xuan did not set foot in the harem.
This made the newcomers' dissatisfaction with Xiao Shuangbao reach its peak.
One day, Xiao Shuangbao had just returned from school and was playing in the Yangxin Palace when she saw a new concubine coming in and asking to see the emperor.
