More importantly, when she took Shen Wanrong's pulse earlier, she found a strange pulse pattern, but when Doctor Zhang reported to the emperor just now, he did not mention this.
Empress Duan asked, "Your Majesty, both bedrooms were burned down. It will take time to repair them. We need to find a new palace for Shen Wanrong and Shengpin to live in."
Xuan Ling thought for a moment and said, "Tonight, the credit for saving Shen Wanrong from danger goes to Concubine Sheng. Her quick thinking saved both mother and child. I am deeply moved. If such a virtuous person is not rewarded, who will be willing to lend a helping hand to the sick and weak in the future?"
The concubines nodded in agreement.
"I promote Concubine Sheng to Chongyuan and grant her the residence in Guanju Palace."
Empress Duan said with a smile, "Dun Jieyu's Pixiang Palace is leaking, and the other day she and I asked for permission to move to Guanju Palace. It would be nice to live with Sheng Chongyuan like this."
Xuan Ling was stunned, frowned, and looked at Queen Duan with a gloomy face.
Empress Duan was startled, but after trying to figure it out, she tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, do you mean to let Sheng Chongyuan live in the main hall of Guanju Palace? ...It's my fault for misunderstanding Your Majesty's intention."
The concubines below all had a look of dissatisfaction on their faces, thinking in their hearts, it would be fine if they could ascend the Jade Steps, but even if they squeezed into the lower nine concubines, they would not be qualified to live in the main hall!
At this time, Concubine Dun walked out from the crowd. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and a pretty face. She was wearing a blue-green long skirt with lotus and cloud patterns, which was as lively as the ripples on a lake.
She walked forward gracefully. Surprisingly, she stepped directly onto two steps and came to the upper seat. She knelt respectfully beside Xuan Ling and placed her hand gently on his knee.
She smiled sweetly and said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, Sister Sheng has done a great service in saving people. I am willing to give the main hall of Guanju Palace to Sister Sheng, and I can live in the side hall."
Hearing this, the four concubines below looked at Concubine Dun with contempt, but they could do nothing.
They knew that this was a rookie that could not be underestimated.
Even Sheng Xiyan was surprised, because she had never seen this pretty concubine since she entered the palace.
Perhaps it was because Concubine Dun had just entered the palace recently, or perhaps it was because Concubine Dun had been out of the palace when she entered and was now back.
Concubine Jia rolled her eyes in anger, wondering where this little hoof came from? How come she had never seen it before?
Concubine Liang covered her fan and whispered to Concubine Shu who was sitting next to her, "Sister, the emperor promoted Concubine Dun's father to the rank of general the other day. She will rise to great heights in the future."
Concubine Shu looked calm, but her heart was filled with sorrow. If Qi Yan hadn't died in the battle, how could anyone else have gotten the chance? Now the glory had fallen to someone else.
Xuan Ling said solemnly, "Dun Jieyu is modest and elegant, and is promoted to Shurong."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Dun's face lit up with joy, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed in thanks: "I thank the Emperor for his great grace."
Her pair of bright eyes rippled like spring water, and her gaze was fixed on the emperor in front of her.
Seeing this, Empress Duan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if that's the case, Sister Sheng will live in the main hall of Guanju Palace, and Dun Shurong will live in the side hall. What do you think?"
Xuan Ling turned to look at Sheng Xiyan, and their eyes met. She was about to stand up to thank him, but he hinted with his eyes that she didn't need to get up, just sit still.
She obediently sat back in her original place.
Xuan Ling said majestically, "Just do as the Queen says."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will order people to clean up the main hall and the side halls."
At this time, everyone found that Jiang Jiang was playing with a wooden box and jewelry box on the ground covered with gorgeous palace carpets, muttering to himself and having a lot of fun.
He took out a white jade necklace, a white jade pendant, and other items from the box and fiddled with them curiously. Hua Xia beside him patiently coaxed him, "Sir, can you put them away for me?"
But Jiang Jiang just refused to let go, and it became his toy.
Seeing this, Concubine Liang raised her lips slightly and said teasingly, "Sister Sheng, when she was escaping, she ignored all the precious rewards and only took this set of white jade jewelry. I think there must be a deep meaning behind it!"
Sheng Xiyan's heart tightened, and she subconsciously pinched the armrest of the soft chair, looking at Jiang Jiang. On his small arms were hanging white jade necklaces and white jade bracelets...
Xuan Ling looked at him for a while and didn't ask anything, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Sheng Xiyan glanced at Concubine Shu with some confusion, only to see that she was smiling and looked extremely calm.
Last time she used the tiger on the handkerchief to sow discord in front of the emperor, but this time when faced with the white jade jewelry she chose to remain silent.
Concubine Liang started it all, and she only needed to add one more sentence: This is the white jade given by Qi Yan.
The emperor would surely be furious. With such a good opportunity today, why wouldn't she take advantage of it?
