Although shocked, it was not surprising after careful consideration. The emperor might have a temporary preference, but the two Dukes Xue and Cen were the pillars of Da Yan, and the emperor would never leave out these two concubines.
On the night that Empress Dowager Xue announced that she was recuperating from illness, the emperor went to Qionghua Garden.
The next day, Xue Jieyu was promoted to Xue Zhaoyi, becoming the highest-ranking concubine among the newcomers.
The limelight that originally belonged to Ning Wanyin was immediately divided in half by Xue Zhaoyi.
In the following days, the emperor picked out some new people and never came to Lingxue Pavilion again.
But among these newcomers, none of them was promoted like Xue Zhaoyi, nor was any of them favored for five days like Ning Wanyin.
The two of them were recognized as the most favored among the new concubines.
March 15th was the first time that the concubines went to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager since she had recovered from her illness.
"Master, would you rather dress more simply?" Danli asked. The last time the master came to pay his respects, he was dressed very plainly.
"No, I should wear the jewelry that His Majesty has bestowed upon me." Ning Wanyin casually took out a butterfly jade tassel hairpin from her dressing table and handed it to Danli.
Now, no matter how she dresses up, she will attract the attention of the whole palace.
A favored concubine should act like a favored concubine.
Ning Wanyin also picked out a rouge-red Sichuan embroidery flowered skirt, paired with a red and gold butterfly headpiece, looking majestic and radiant.

Ning Wanyin came out from the right hall and happened to meet Li Jieyu in the left hall.
Li Jieyu moved in a few days ago.
Tang Miaoling applied to Concubine Shu for a change of palace. Concubine Shu was very surprised. Ning Wanyin was favored day by day. Such a good opportunity to meet the emperor was what countless concubines would be eager to have.
Why is Tang Miaoling doing such a stupid thing?
Concubine Shu generously agreed. Nowadays, Yonghe Palace is a popular place for many people to visit, and the one who finally moved in was Concubine Li.
Ning Wanyin prepared for three years to enter the palace, and she also knew a thing or two about the old concubines in the harem.
After thinking about it for a while, she knew why Concubine Shu chose her to live in.
Li Jieyu was the most favored among the old concubines except for Concubine Zhuang.
Moreover, after Xue Zhaoyi entered the palace, he immediately surrendered to her and followed her lead.
New love and old love, and sworn enemies, living under the same roof, wouldn't they be extremely jealous?
