However, the master's target in this palace dress incident was Concubine Ling, so naturally he would not let the matter become too involved.
Although Concubine Yan was the concubine's daughter of Guanglu Dafu, Guanglu Dafu was also an important official in the court.
It is naturally impossible for the master to allow the daughter of Guanglu Doctor to be punished just after entering the palace because of the master, otherwise it is very likely to damage the relationship between Guanglu Doctor and the master.
Moreover, if Concubine Yan is punished, it will easily implicate Concubine Ye, and the matter will only get worse and worse.
Later, the master asked Concubine Shen to reveal Amaryllis to Concubine Lin. Concubine Lin's family was not in the capital. The master originally wanted Concubine Lin to take the blame, but he did not expect that Concubine Lin could get away with it.
Concubine Lin informed her close friend in Jincheng, Shen Biwan, now Shen Cainu, about this matter. It is unknown what kind of deal the two made, but Shen Cainu actually took the risk of poisoning the mistress's womb.
That is to say, the master's palace clothes were actually poisoned by two groups of people, but this is only known to the master. Who can know that there are no other people who are taking advantage of the situation?
And Shen Cainu was the one who ultimately took the blame.
After finding out this much, the master naturally doesn't want His Majesty to continue investigating. If he continues, no one will be better off.
When Miaoyue thought of this, she just hoped that Concubine Shen would know that she could only rely on her master for everything now and not have any other ideas.
Su Jingyao didn't want to form cliques in the harem. After all, she was the imperial concubine, with the same status as the vice empress. In the absence of a queen, she was the master of the harem.
Naturally, these concubines must be treated equally, and no one should show obvious favoritism towards either Concubine Shen or Concubine Shangguan.
Lady Shangguan is okay, after all, her family background is ordinary, she is not favored by Jun Zechen, and her position is not high either.
But Concubine Shen is a hidden knife in her mind. This knife must be hidden in the dark, and now is not the right time to reveal it.
While thinking, Su Jingyao walked towards the main hall.
At this time, all the palace concubines had arrived, and Concubine Shen was the last one to arrive.
After Su Jingyao sat steadily on the gorgeous phoenix throne, all the concubines stood up at the same time.
Except for Concubine Ling and Concubine Chu, all the concubines were in the palace at this time.
"Your humble concubine pays homage to Imperial Noble Consort Jiayi. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health and longevity." All the concubines said in unison, their voices echoing in the hall.
Su Jingyao straightened her back, sat upright on the Phoenix Throne, raised her chin slightly, and had a cold expression, yet with a hint of majesty and nobility.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Imperial Noble Consort Jiayi." The concubines responded and then took their seats one by one.
Concubine Shen sat in the first seat on the left side of Su Jingyao with a hint of pride on her face. She was now the number one concubine.
Concubine Lin sat in the first seat to Su Jingyao's right, still as gentle and charming as ever.
Ye Jieyu sat quietly below Concubine Shen with a peaceful smile on her face.
Concubine Bai sat below Concubine Lin with a gentle expression, while Concubine Shangguan sat below Concubine Bai with a look of flattery towards the Imperial Concubine.
"Isn't it too late for Concubine Shen today? We sisters have been waiting in Zhaochun Palace to congratulate the Imperial Concubine."
The one who spoke was Concubine Bai. She tilted her head slightly, raised the corners of her mouth, and spoke slowly with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
When Su Jingyao heard this, her gaze slowly turned to her, with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.
When Concubine Bai first entered the Eastern Palace, she was also so eloquent when she paid her respects for the first time.
Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly. Although Concubine Bai had never been favored by Jun Zechen, her father was the Minister of the Central Secretariat, which gave her enough confidence.
As long as Concubine Bai didn't do anything wrong, even if she was a little harsh in her words sometimes, no one would do anything to her easily, and her position would naturally rise.
When Concubine Shen heard what Bai Guipin said, she was stunned at first, then she chuckled with a hint of indifference in her laughter.
"Princess Bai, I just woke up late because it rained heavily last night and I didn't sleep well."
As he spoke, there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
Then Concubine Shen turned her gaze to Su Jingyao with a smile on her face.
"The Imperial Concubine is generous and tolerant, I think she won't mind."
After hearing this, Shangguan Jieyu couldn't help but sneer, and then started to make sarcastic remarks.
"Shen Fei, the Imperial Noble Consort is generous and tolerant, but as a concubine you must be respectful and polite. The title of 'Shen' was specially given to you by the Imperial Noble Consort. Shen Fei, you must be careful in what you say and do."
Shangguan Jieyu said this with a sharp look in her eyes and a slight curl of her lips, even emphasizing the word "intentionally".
When Concubine Shen heard this, she no longer wanted to pretend to smile. No matter what the word "Shen" meant, she was the only concubine in the palace with a title besides the Imperial Noble Concubine.
The former Crown Princess, now Concubine Ling, would always call her "sister" when she saw her, haha.
Concubine Shen glared at Shangguan Jieyu fiercely and said with gritted teeth: "I used to think Shangguan Jieyu was a sullen person, but now that she has a backer, she has become bolder."
When Concubine Shen mentioned the word "backer", she deliberately glanced at Su Jingyao with a meaningful look in her eyes.
