Ning Wanyin was not surprised.
Lady Song was a famous talented woman in the capital. Her father had always been outspoken and courageous in making criticisms, and was known for his strong character.
When I first met Lady Song today, she seemed to be aloof and arrogant, and didn't pay much attention to others.
If Your Majesty wants to suppress the two great dukedoms, you need a sword that will never break.
This seems to be a very suitable candidate.
Soon, Xiao Guizi came back with a food box in her hand, looking dejected. On the way, she heard that Lady Song had been summoned tonight, and her noble lady would not be favored today.
Lian Rui took out the breakfast from the lunch box, a plate of emerald white jade porridge and a basket of steamed dumplings.
This is the share for you, the noble one, neither more nor less.
But Ning Wanyin prefers sweets, and this is not to her taste.
"Lianrui, go to the imperial kitchen and spend some money to get some desserts." Ning Wanyin frowned slightly.
She loves delicious food and fancy clothes.
Isn't it because you can't give up the delicious food and fun things in this world that you work so hard every day? If you work so hard to calculate everything in the world, but can't even eat the food you want, then what is the point of fighting?
"Yes." Lian Rui took the order and left.
An exceptional meal required extra money. Fortunately, Ning Wanyin's family was well-off, so even if she was not favored for a while, she could still eat her fill.

But with two concubines in front of her, she did not expect that His Majesty would choose her to sleep with him.
Could it be that His Majesty has also had feelings for me for a long time?
At dusk, the holy carriage arrived as promised.
After one night.
Lady Song supported her delicate body and helped His Majesty get up...
"No need, you worked hard last night." Helian Qi looked at Lady Song lying on the bed and said meaningfully:
"You don't need to go and pay your respects to the Queen Mother today."
Although Lady Song had a cold personality, she always observed etiquette and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy. Paying respects to the Queen Mother is my filial duty."
She has learned the palace rules and will not become arrogant because of her favor.
Helian Qi glanced at her, said nothing, and turned to go out to court.

Note: Based on the Ming Dynasty's palace system and combined with the flipping card system, the emperor can go to the concubines' palace or summon them for sex.
