Chapter 13: Promotion to Concubine



Seeing that she had a good attitude in admitting her mistake, Sheng Xiyan softened her heart and said, "Please sit down."

The three of them awkwardly found chairs to sit down. Gao Chongrong said with a smile, "Sister Sheng, I never thought you knew medicine. That's amazing."

Lin Xiuyi and Chunpin echoed, "Yes, yes."

Gao Chongrong even took Sheng Xiyan's hand and said with emotion: "Sister, I will follow you in the future. I hope you can accept me. I will definitely follow your lead in the future."

It is not known whether this sudden show of goodwill is true or not, but one should not hit a smiling person. Since I have just arrived in the palace, I do need some people.

Sheng Xiyan smiled and said, "No fight, no acquaintance. We will take care of each other in the future."

Lin Xiuyi and Chunpin also hurried forward, "We can't be left without you. Sister Sheng, please take good care of us in the future."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that a young widow, with her child in tow, had skipped the seventh or eighth rank when she first entered the palace and had been directly promoted to a noble lady. Just a few days later, she was promoted to another rank. The emperor favored her and she was the next favorite concubine.

These three people looked down on the lower-ranking concubines, but could not reach them. At this time, they felt that Sheng Xiyan was very good, neither high nor low. If they could get close to her, they would have a great chance of being promoted in the future.

After seeing them off, Sheng Xiyan stood at the palace gate, watching Jiang Jiang running and playing in the yard. For the first time, she felt a sense of belonging here.

In the past, in Prince E's mansion, during the two years that Qi Yan was fighting on the battlefield, she often had nightmares and was always afraid of being driven out.

I dreamed that Princess E and Princess Shizi shouted, "You useless idiot, what are you doing hanging around in our palace? Get out!"

Yanlang, I really want to start my life again. I will take Jiangjiang with me and educate him to be like you, honest and kind, so that he can become a pillar of the country.

She did not sleep with him in the Yangxin Palace that night, and the emperor never let her sleep with him again. How could he improve his favorability towards her further?

Be independent and self-reliant? Let the emperor know that she is different from other concubines. Should she talk to the emperor and seek a job in the Imperial Hospital?

During the past few days of recuperation, Sheng Xiyan has been playing with Jiang Jiang on the bed and reading books. She has loved reading since she was a child. Her father Shengnian always told her that girls should study and believed that "virtuous women in ancient times were all fond of learning."

"Xi Yan, knowledge can change one's destiny, especially for women."

Because of this, Sheng Nian invited a teacher to teach her "The Book of Filial Piety", "The Analects of Confucius", "The Book of Poetry" and "The Book of Rites" when Sheng Xiyan was five years old, so that she had a basic understanding of the main ideas.

For a doctor's family, this is an extremely expensive thing. Sheng Xiyan is studious and smart, and Sheng Nian and his mother both support her very much.

Sheng Xiyan closed the book and thought of her mother and younger brothers and sisters. Once she entered the palace, it was like entering a deep sea. When would she be able to see her family again?

Meixiang came in from outside the hall and said, "My lady, the Queen Mother of Zhongcui Palace asked you to bring the young master over, saying that she wanted to meet him."

Hua Xia said, "My lady, your leg is not fully healed yet. Would you like me to take you there?"

"It's okay, she's almost recovered. Since Concubine Shu is your aunt, it's understandable that she wants to see Jiang Jiang. I'll take her to say hello."

After changing into a new dress, she went to Zhongcui Palace.

As soon as she entered, Concubine Shu saw Jiang Jiang with a smile on his face and examined him carefully. "Well, he looks like A Yan. He will be a good Miao Miao in the future."

He glanced at Sheng Xiyan again and snorted coldly, "I heard that the emperor went to Chuxiu Palace specifically to see you?"
