This favor was unmatched by anyone in the harem to this day.
"Granny, do you think I should meet this Consort Shu?"
She had observed for a while and realized that Shu Guiren was indeed a capable person. Although she did not intend to take action herself, she was afraid that Shu Guiren's favor would incur public wrath. She needed to provide a platform for everyone to vent their anger.
"It is only right that she comes to pay her respects to you."
Consort Tong remained silent. Although she held the highest rank in the harem, she was not the Empress, and there was no reason for her to have the lower-ranking concubines come to pay their respects. Ultimately, her status was insufficient.
Ordinary people would naturally come to pay their respects after being promoted, but Consort Shu was different. From the moment she agreed to be promoted to Changzai, she never left Jiangxue Pavilion, and even though it was very close to the Imperial Garden, she never went there once.
It wasn't that Youqing couldn't describe the scenery of the Imperial Garden, but after watching too many TV dramas, she always felt that the Imperial Garden was a place where accidents were very likely to happen, so she cut off the source of the incident.
Thinking this, Consort Tong instructed, "Summer is almost halfway over in the blink of an eye, and the harem has been quiet for a long time. Have a stage set up in the Imperial Garden, and invite all the ladies to watch the opera the day after tomorrow. The Imperial Garden is close to Jiangxue Pavilion, so send a palanquin to pick up Consort Shu. Granny, go and arrange to send out invitations."

“My lady, I will accompany you tomorrow.” Sangzhu said with some worry, afraid that Youqing would be bullied.
Youqing shook her head: "You stay here, let Chengying accompany me."
Sangzhu: "That's good. Sister Chengying knows more, so she should be able to take better care of you, young master."
Sangzhu didn't feel disappointed. Compared to Chengying, she was indeed a bit naive. Chengying came from the Qianqing Palace, so she figured that the people there would be more cautious about her tomorrow.
Determine the location of a distinguished person.
"Full Moon, you'll come with me tomorrow. Remember, be careful. The Imperial Noble Consort inviting people to the opera at this time is probably more interested in the performance below the stage."
Consort Ding's desire to gain favor was genuine, but so was her fear. She sensed something unusual, so she was always very cautious.
Full Moon: "Yes, my lady."
