Yingxiu was Nan Xu's maid. Seeing her master's unhappy expression, she murmured to herself.

"This noble lady is really aloof. Relying on her family background and the favor of the Emperor and Empress, she has ignored others since she entered the palace. Now that she is favored by Concubine Hua, she is even more arrogant."

As soon as Yingxiu said this, Nan Xu's expression changed immediately.

He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Yingxiu.

"Slap your mouth! This is the palace, how can you talk nonsense about the master? If others hear it, I will be punished for disrespect."

Yingxiu lowered her head, but there was no regret in her eyes, "I will never dare to do it again."

Nan Xuyuan wanted to say something else, but he considered that this was outside, and it was not right to train a slave in public.

And then Huanbi came over.

"Your servant greets Nan Changzai." Huanbi saluted.

Nan Xu smiled and said, "This girl is..."

"I am Huanbi, the maidservant of Concubine Wan. Our queen invites Changzai to go with her to Suiyuxuan. Please come this way."

As Huanbi was speaking, Nan Xu looked over and saw Concubine Wan waiting for her not far away.

Nan Xu smiled and said, "Of course, I'll go with you."

The concubines in each palace began to get busy.

Apart from Tong Jiarubi and Nan Xu, one of them has an eye-catching family background and the other has a face that cannot be ignored.

In comparison, the other two seem much more low-key.

One is Yu Shu from Xianfu Palace, also known as Yu Da Ying.

She lived in a side hall of the Xianfu Palace. She had a gentle and outstanding temperament, was not competitive, and seldom spoke. Although she was not eye-catching, a closer look revealed that she was a beauty.

Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang actually liked her quite a bit.

After entering Xianfu Palace, Concubine Jing became busy making arrangements.

"Hanzhu, quickly go and get the high-quality cloth that I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare and give it to Yu Yingying. Ruyi, quickly go and bring the Sixth Prince Hongzhang here."

Shen Meizhuang looked at her with a smile, "Look how happy Sister Jingfei is. I just hope that one day I can introduce this Xianfu Palace to you."

As he said this, he patted Yu Shu's shoulder.

Yu Shu was frightened, nervous and didn't know what to do.

She came from a poor family and had never seen such a big world. Among the four newcomers to the palace, she was the last one.

"My younger sister is a humble girl, her family background is not as outstanding as yours, and she is just a low-ranking promise holder. But I never thought that you two sisters would treat me with such care. I am really humbled and grateful."

As he said this, he bowed deeply.

Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing hurried to help.

"Sister, you are too kind."

"Yes, sister, please get up quickly. There is no need for us to be polite to each other." Concubine Jing smiled.

Yu Shu lowered her black eyelashes, still a little embarrassed, "My sister didn't bring any good things with her when she entered the palace. When I was young, my family did business and brought back a few exquisite crystal stones from the south. Although they are not good things, they are placed in the house to make it look bright and beautiful."

After saying that, she turned around and looked at her maid behind her, "Liu Zheng, quickly take it out and show it to the two sisters."

Liu Zheng agreed and went to get it.

Bring out two mahogany boxes filled with crystal gems.

It's amazing as soon as you open it.

Shen Meizhuang sighed, "This, this is made of colored glaze, it looks so beautiful?"

Hearing the praise, Yu Shu's nervousness was relieved a little. "These are treasures my father found in the south when I was a child. He thought they were beautiful, so he brought some back. But my father said that the place was dangerous and terrifying. It was the place that gave birth to such brilliant gems, and ordinary people could not go there a second time."

Yu Shu was the daughter of a merchant and was originally not qualified to enter the palace. She was selected because a capable person in her family passed the imperial examination and became an official.

Although a family of businessmen does not have a good status, they will not be looked down upon by others.

But if she is put together with people like Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan, whose fathers are high-ranking officials, she is not good enough.

Not to mention that this time there is also Tong Jia and the governor's daughter.

But fortunately, people in Xianfu Palace have never cared about this.

As they were chatting, Ruyi brought the Sixth Prince Hongzhang over.

As soon as they saw the child, the women's faces were filled with smiles.

When spring came, Hongzhang became much more lively. As soon as he learned to crawl, he boldly stood up and wanted to walk.

Concubine Jing smiled and shook her head, "This child is very lively. If you don't have enough strength, you can't hold him. He has to come down and flutter around to have the energy."

"It's fun to have fun when the little prince is lively and active. Look at our Hongzhang's big eyes, they are so cute. Let Empress Hui kiss him." Shen Meizhuang held the child tightly.

As expected, he couldn't hold her anymore, and Hongzhang was vying to get down and play.

The funny look made the three of them laugh out loud.

Yu Shu made faces and played with Hong Zhang, and Hong Zhang immediately fell in love with this pretty and beautiful sister.

After teasing for a while, Yu Shu was ready to drink tea, but Hong Zhang still held her clothes and tugged at them, signaling her to continue playing with him.

This made Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang laugh very happily.

"Look, our Hongzhang is a naughty boy."

Concubine Jing pursed her lips and said, "It's rare that Yu promised to get along so well with this child. In the future, come to my palace often, so that the boy can have someone else to play with."

"I like children. I was busy at home, so I raised my brother's two children. But I have not been in good health, and I am still taking medicine to recuperate."

When it comes to physical matters, there is an unconcealable sadness in Yu Shu's clear eyes.

The two of them hurriedly comforted her, "There are so many famous doctors in the palace, sister, don't worry."

Yu Shu nodded, "Yeah, I hope so."

……

Changchun Palace.

Concubine Duan likes quietness, and even though she moved to the huge Changchun Palace, her personality has not changed.

The one who lives in Changchun Palace is Yan Ruofan, also known as Concubine Yan.

When all the palaces came to meet the emperor, Concubine Duan looked at him for a while. It was hard to say anything else, only that they were pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that he didn't do anything out of the ordinary during the audience with the whole palace, I thought for now that he might be a well-behaved person.

Because she was in a hurry to take the medicine, Concubine Duan returned to Changchun Palace first.

Yan Ruofan is the daughter of the governor. She once served the empress dowager in the palace when she was a child, so she had to go to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects to the empress dowager.

He served in the palace only because the Ninth Prince was competing for the throne. The Emperor needed the power of the Yan Family, but was afraid that the Yan Family would rebel, so he instigated the Eighth Prince to go.

So the governor's youngest daughter was allowed to enter the palace and stay with the current queen mother. It was said to be discipline, but in fact it was hostage.

Yan Ruofan was young at the time and didn't understand these things.

All I knew was that I couldn't see my father and mother for unknown reasons, and was sent to a place high inside the city walls. I didn't know anyone there, couldn't speak, couldn't play the wooden horse, and could only read all day.

I only remember that there was a little boy of the same age as me who would come and talk to me every day.

Even though he wasn't having a good time himself, he still used these new and interesting toys to appease the delicate girl.

Later, when she left the palace, the emperor had already ascended the throne.

She was able to return to the Governor's Mansion, and the little boy who usually talked to her became the Fourth Prince in the palace.
