Yikun Palace soon got the news, not only Tong Jia Rubi, but also Concubine Chen.

The maid from the Jingshifang came to the Yiku Palace early, and then Tong Jiarubi went to dress and wash up.

Songzhi was gossiping while massaging Nian Shilan's shoulders.

"You are truly the noble lady."

Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows and looked at her, then saw Songzhi looking at Fudong with a smile and teasing. Fudong took out some silver coins from his handbag and stuffed them into Songzhi's hands with resentment.

Nian Shilan found it funny, "What are you doing?"

Before Songzhi could reply, Fudong spoke first, "Your Majesty, Songzhi and I are making a bet on which young lady the emperor will favor for the first time."

"Nonsense, how can you bet on something like this?"

Nian Shilan scolded with a stern expression.

Fudong was about to lower his head, and Songzhi didn't dare to make a fuss anymore, but he found that his queen's hand reached into his pocket and snatched the handbag away.

"Why didn't you let me know earlier if you wanted to gamble? I've already said that the first night would be for Concubine Chen. Fudong, you lose this time. Songzhi and I will split the money equally."

Songzhi giggled and spread the silver in her hand to show Nian Shilan. Her little face seemed to be showing off how much she had earned.

Although Fu Dong lost money, he was not unhappy. He was happy to be able to joke with the queen. "How did the queen and Song Zhi know it was Concubine Chen? I always thought it would be Concubine Yan."

Nian Shilan was a little surprised to hear that she guessed Yan Ruofan instead of Nan Xu.

"Oh? Why do you guess Lady Yan?"

"Noble Lady Yan is good-looking, has a good personality, often serves the Queen Mother, and has a good background. Doesn't the Queen like Noble Lady Yan very much?"

Fu Dong said in a serious tone.

"On the contrary, it is Concubine Chen who makes people feel cold..."

What Fu Dong said was quite right. Concubine Yan was the youngest daughter of the governor's family and was at the center of power. She had seen how her father got along with bureaucrats in the court, how her mother tried to integrate into the circle of noble ladies, and how her brothers and sisters tried to win them over.

Naturally, I learned the smooth way of doing things.

So naturally, I gained a lot of goodwill.

I don’t know why, but Yan Ruofan especially wants to be close to me.

I ran to Yikun Palace several times.

Everyone just treats her as the devil's palace and avoids them. After all, everyone knows that she is an iron fist, an iron fist, and a heart of stone.

Yan Ruofan was not afraid.

As for her, I can't say that I like Nian Shilan. I can only say that she still has some value to me and I don't hate her.

As for the rest, we'll have to wait and see.

On the other hand, Tong Jia Rubi has a cold face all day long. No, it can’t be said to be a cold face. It is mainly because her temperament is intimidating. People always can’t figure out whether she is arrogant and despises everyone, or if that is just her temperament and she just has a cold face.

So on the first day after entering the palace, Shilan brought people in and tested them thoroughly.

Well, I just have a cold face and I'm trying hard to hold it together.

The more such a woman is, the more a man wants to conquer her and make her submit to him.

The emperor will like her, Nian Shilan pursed her lips.

After Fudong finished speaking, Songzhi held back her laughter and looked at Yinzi without saying a word.

"Why are you laughing at me?" Xiao Fudong pouted.

Songzhi, "Good Fudong, I am not laughing at you, I am laughing at the Queen."

Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows and looked at Songzhi meaningfully, "Oh? Go ahead."

"I feel that among the four young ladies who entered the palace this time, Noble Lady Yan and Nan Changzai are very close to our queen and have frequent exchanges with her. Young Lady Yu is weak and is recuperating in the palace, but she has a very good relationship with the two young ladies in Xianfu Palace. Only Noble Lady Chen keeps to herself. Whenever she pays respects to the queen, the queen will specifically remind Noble Lady Chen. It is obvious that the queen wants to win over Noble Lady Chen."

Nian Shilan nodded with satisfaction.

"With the newcomer entering the palace this time, the Empress will definitely do her best to recommend her own person, otherwise she will be too alone and powerless, and this person will only be Concubine Chen."

After Songzhi finished speaking, Nian Shilan looked at her with a face full of pride and admiration.

After so long, the little Songzhi she took care of has finally grown up and can analyze the current situation in the harem.

"Your Majesty, am I right?" Songzhi seemed to have seen through it as well, and walked forward with a smile to ask for reward, just like a puppy wagging its tail at its owner after doing a good deed.

Nian Shilan patted her head and said, "Yes, but you only analyzed the queen and don't know the mind of our emperor."

Songzhi blinked, waiting to listen, but Nian Shilan didn't say anything.

"I'm sleepy. Tonight is going to be lively, but I don't have the heart to join in the fun. I'm tired. Please help me rest."

"Yes."

Broken Yuxuan.

Nan Xu stood in front of the window, looking at the crabapple tree outside, wondering what he was thinking.

The palace maid Yingxiu came in and replied, whispering in her ear.

"My lady, the emperor turned over the card of Concubine Chen tonight."

Nan Xu snorted and laughed, "As expected, it's easy if you have a good family background."

Yingxiu said, "My lady, don't be discouraged. With your face, it's only a matter of time before you win the emperor's favor. Even if she has a family, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that the emperor really likes her."

"That's right," Nan Xu stroked his cheek, "I went to find an immortal and spent a lot of money to have her change my face into the appearance of Concubine Wan according to her portrait, just so that I can enter the palace one day and gain the emperor's favor."

Her fingers gently stroked across her fair face. She had forgotten what she looked like before. She only knew that she was now 70% similar to the person in the picture album.

And now, the person in the album lives in the bedroom under the crabapple tree.

She urged the candlelight in the hall.

"Mother told me a long time ago that the Emperor no longer loves Concubine Wan after her miscarriage. Only when there is a gap between people can he interfere."

Yingxiu nodded, "My lady, what you said is right. Since Concubine Wan didn't grasp this favor, then we must grasp it. But the emperor and Concubine Wan are now at odds with each other, so why would he think of coming to Suiyuxuan to see my lady?"

"There will always be opportunities. Accompany me to Yikun Palace tomorrow."

"Yes."

……

The night was about to dawn, but Tong Jiarubi couldn't sleep.

She leaned against the head of the bed, not having any of the feeling her mother had described to her before she entered the palace.

instead……

I feel very disgusted, especially when I see the men around me.

She kept her eyes closed the whole time and could only turn her back because she couldn't even pretend to enjoy it a little.

It hurts and is uncomfortable.

For her, the night was extremely long, so long that it made her feel sick.

When she woke up the next day, Yinzhen had already left.

Qingzhu came forward and knelt beside her bed, waiting on her. "My lady, you are awake. The emperor has gone to the morning court and has ordered the servants not to disturb you. You can go and pay your respects to the queen later."

Tong Jiarubi held her forehead, feeling dizzy because she went to bed too late last night.

"What time is it now?"

Qingzhu said, "It's Si time."
