After Su Ruhua returned to the Earl's Mansion, she felt she had no face to see the people in the mansion, so she stayed in Aunt Liu's yard and refused to take a step out.

Aunt Liu was afraid that she would be depressed, so she stayed with her all day long.

Therefore, it was not until the day Su Wanti entered the palace that they learned that Su Wanti had been named Zhenpin and had become the emperor's woman.

Aunt Liu was a very thoughtful person. She frowned and pondered while holding a cup of warm tea.

"Strange, how come she was made a concubine? Although the master is having a hard time and has encountered many setbacks, he doesn't have to offer his daughter to the emperor in the hope of his leniency!"

Seeing that Su Ruohua didn't respond, she tilted her head, thought for a while, and said:

"On the second day after Su Wanti married into the Marquis' Mansion, she went to live in the manor for half a month. After she came back, she attended the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Could it be that the emperor took a fancy to her at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet?"

Aunt Liu looked at Su Ruhua with eyes full of questions.

Su Ruohua was writing furiously and said impatiently:

"How do I know when they hooked up? Mother, she is courting death. There is no future for her to follow the emperor. Everyone knows that the emperor is not good enough. In ten years, there is not a single child in the harem. I think Su Wanti will die alone in the palace. Let's just wait and see her make a fool of herself!"

Now, she was busy writing down her very real dream of becoming a queen, not missing any details.

She needed to think carefully about what went wrong and why was she abandoned by Xiao Huaihe?

Not only Aunt Liu thought so, but both the former court and the harem thought so after hearing the news that Earl Su's daughter had entered the palace.

The emperor actually took Su Wanti, who had just divorced, into the harem. Everyone in the officials in the capital knew that Su Wanti had been married into a marquis's mansion and had been his daughter-in-law.

Could it be at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet...

At that time, Su Wanti had not yet divorced Xiao Huaihe.

Tsk tsk——

People started discussing it in private, and the rumor spread quietly.

When Xiao Huaihe heard about this, he figured out something. When he went out again, he felt that there was something wrong with the way his colleagues looked at him.

He only felt that his hair was slightly green, and his desire to be adopted as the crown prince became stronger.

Not everyone sympathized with Xiao Huaihe. Prince Qi, Prince Jing and others thought that this was a trick used by Xiao Huaihe to please the emperor.

They had met Su Wanti at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. She was a rare and stunning beauty!

She is charming and otherworldly, and with a little makeup she looks much better than Xiao Huai and the concubine beside him.

They were wondering at the time why Xiao Huaihe ignored his beautiful wife, but was so affectionate with the concubine who could only be described as pretty.

Now they suddenly realized that Xiao Huaihe was very scheming. He deliberately brought a mediocre concubine to highlight the beauty of his wife so that the emperor would fall in love with her at first sight!

Now, while secretly cursing Xiao Huaihe as a despicable villain who offered his wife as a sacrifice, they were also looking for beautiful women in the family and looking for opportunities to send them to the palace.

Su Wanti was not aware of these rumors about the former dynasty and the harem.

Now, no one gossips about her, and besides, she doesn't care.

If a divorced girl from a noble family enters the harem, even if she is innocent, rumors will arise, not to mention that the relationship between her and the emperor is not innocent.

Her goal was clear: first, to give birth to an heir for the emperor, to prevent this small world from falling into a struggle for succession among various forces, which would cause the people to suffer.

The second is to protect the Su family.

Others can say whatever they want, she just needs to complete these two tasks well and avoid her soul being reduced to ashes.

After Su Wanti entered the palace, she was arranged to stay in the Yaoguang Palace.

She is the only concubine in the Yaoguang Palace.

Su Wanti only brought Su Yue and Chun Tao into the palace, and the other palace servants were arranged by Eunuch De.

The palace maid in charge is called Anxun, she is about 30 years old, and used to be a servant in the imperial court. She is calm and doesn’t talk much, which makes people feel at ease just by looking at her.

Su Wanti now behaved like a noble lady. Facing the palace servants, she said a few words that combined kindness and severity, and then asked Su Yue to reward each of them with some silver.

At night, Su Wanti was ready to serve the emperor in bed.

This is her first night in the palace. If nothing unexpected happens, Emperor Xiao Ping will summon her to sleep with him.

But she waited until late at night, but was never summoned to sleep with him.

Maybe Emperor Xiao Ping had some urgent matters to deal with and couldn't take care of it!

Su Wanti comforted herself and fell asleep alone.

The next day, there was no summons to sleep with him.

Still nothing on the third day.

A restless atmosphere began to appear in Yaoguang Palace. Some palace servants became lazy in their work, while some began to fend for themselves and thought about being transferred to other concubines.

Su Wanti didn't want to care about them, but what surprised her was that An Xun quietly transferred away those palace servants who had ulterior motives and replaced them with a group of new people.

After several rounds of this, all the palace maids in the Yaoguang Palace became calm and down-to-earth.

Su Wanti thought that after entering the palace, she would have to face the intrigues and bloody court struggles, but that was not the case. Life in the harem was very peaceful, even boring.

When the concubines in the harem saw that she was the same as them and could not see the emperor, they felt relieved and began to speak ill of her and mock her. Su Wanti ignored them, and this made them bolder, thinking that she was a soft persimmon that was easy to manipulate.

On the tenth day, Su Wanti still hadn't seen Emperor Xiao Ping.

Just when she was thinking about how to meet Emperor Xiao Ping, the opportunity came.

On this day, after paying their respects to the Queen, the concubines withdrew and returned to their palaces.

Su Wanti was walking when she was suddenly bumped by someone. The person hit her with quite a lot of force and she was caught off guard, so she fell to the ground.

Looking up, I saw that the person had a pretty face and bright clothes. It was Miss Qiao.

This beautiful lady Qiao was very arrogant. She held her head high, looked at people with her nose up, and crossed her hands in front of her chest. She was rude and arrogant.

She said sarcastically, "I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out that you are just like us and can't see the emperor!"

Concubine Qiao had a high opinion of herself, but after entering the palace, she had never been summoned by the emperor, nor had she ever served him in bed. She was resentful, but she did not dare to vent her anger on the high-ranking concubines who had entered the palace earlier, so she looked for trouble with the concubines who entered the palace later.

She was not afraid of any punishment. She had done this many times before. The emperor would not care about such minor matters.

Moreover, Su Wanti is very cowardly. She never talks back when others mock her. Such a coward can be bullied at will.

[Ding! Host, the emperor is nearby. ]

Su Wanti's eyes flashed and she immediately became alert.

Now, let me start my show!

Su Wanti blinked, and in an instant her eyes were filled with tears, looking pitiful.

She was uneasy and cautious, her voice was weak and small, and only Lady Qiao could hear it clearly, "Sister Qiao, you should figure it out yourself, you are not as good as me——"

A complete provocation.

"What did you say?" Qiao Mei was extremely angry and reached out to hit him.

"How dare you!" An angry rebuke suddenly sounded. It was the voice of Eunuch De.

They were both startled at the same time and looked in the direction of the voice. Emperor Xiao Ping was standing not far from them, against the sunlight, so their expression could not be seen clearly.
