The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 121 Promotion to Imperial Concubine

After Liu Sheng finished reading aloud, he immediately looked at Song Nanxiang who was standing in the yard with a flattering smile on his face.

When Nanxiang heard that she was promoted to a noble concubine, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and her eyebrows were slightly curved.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the emperor!"

She squatted slightly and spoke respectfully, then ordered Juping to come forward and bring the imperial edict, and at the same time handed a heavy purse to Liu Sheng.

"Please come here, father-in-law. My queen would like to invite you to have a cup of tea!"

Kikuhei squatted down and spoke respectfully, then quickly came to the courtyard and handed the imperial edict to Nanxiang.

"I congratulate you on your promotion to Imperial Concubine!"

As soon as Kikuhei squatted down and said this, the palace maids and eunuchs around him came over with joy on their faces, squatted down and congratulated Nanxiang.

Nan Xiang's smile gradually grew, and she immediately made a promise.

"Everyone will be rewarded! From today on, the monthly salary of the palace maids and eunuchs in Wangyueju will be increased by half a month. I will also reward you with half a month's salary. I just hope that you will not betray your master in the future. I can reward you and I can also punish you."

She knew that there must be spies of other concubines among these palace maids and eunuchs, so when she rewarded them this time, she also wanted to warn them and make them realize who treated them better.

"Thank you for the reward, Madam!"

"This servant will definitely be loyal to you, Madam!"

----

Nanxiang looked at the words of praise from Gu Junshen in the imperial edict, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. Gu Junshen really knows how to praise people.

Praise her so well.

She didn't expect that she had been promoted to Imperial Concubine before she even gave birth to a child. If she gave birth to a prince for the Emperor, what position would she be promoted to?

The next position should be an imperial concubine with the same rank as the queen.

However, the promotion to Imperial Noble Consort is not that easy. Given Song Nanxiang’s background, it is still somewhat difficult for her to be promoted to Imperial Noble Consort.

At this moment, besides feeling a little happy, she also felt a mixture of complicated emotions. The source of these emotions was Xu Ziang who came to threaten her yesterday.

Xu Ziang actually knew that she would be promoted to imperial concubine.

Maybe it's time to meet Xu Ziang.

……

Chaoyang Palace.

The virtuous concubine has been staying in the bedroom these days. Ever since she heard about the epidemic in the Ministry of Punishment, she was afraid that the disease would spread to her Chaoyang Palace.

Therefore, Luqi was arranged to strictly control the entry and exit of palace maids and eunuchs.

After a while, she saw Luqi coming to her with a somewhat frightened look on her face.

"My lady! I have something to report!"

"What's the matter?"

The virtuous concubine spoke calmly. What else was there worth her attention now?

"The Concubine Shu of Wangyueju has been promoted to Imperial Concubine. A day will be chosen for the ceremony." Luqi said softly, squatting slightly lowered, looking downward.

She had already guessed that when Concubine Xian heard this, the hatred in her eyes would be enough to kill someone.

"what?"

The virtuous concubine screamed in surprise; the news came too suddenly.

It should be noted that apart from her pregnancy, what else could have been worthy of the emperor promoting Nanxiang at this time?

As the emperor's concubine at that time, she only achieved the position of virtuous concubine, which was lower than Wang's position some time ago.

I didn't expect that after so many years, I am still in this position. It is really incredible that a concubine who has just entered the palace has climbed from a concubine to the position of a noble concubine.

"But what happened?"

The virtuous concubine asked with a puzzled look on her face, and there was more inquiry in her eyes when she looked at Luqi.

"Your Majesty! I don't know either. The maids arranged by Wangyueju have not been allowed to go out for many days. I heard this news from the maids passing by Wangyueju. At that time, Eunuch Liu read the imperial edict aloud in front of Wangyueju. It seemed that I heard the words 'I am deeply sympathetic to you'"

Luqi spoke in a slow tone, trying her best to make her words clearer so that Concubine Xian could understand.

"Haha! This Song Nanxiang is really amazing. She did great things quietly and was promoted to the position of imperial concubine in one fell swoop."

The virtuous concubine sneered, with a hint of sarcasm and self-mockery in her tone.

She thought Song Nanxiang had been well behaved during this period.

Even though she arranged the cat attack, Nanxiang did not fight back, which shows that Nanxiang was already scared.

This sudden promotion made her realize that perhaps Song Nanxiang was no longer an ordinary person.

"Send someone to spread this news throughout the harem. Let the other concubines also hear about the glory of Song Nanxiang."

The virtuous concubine's eyes flashed and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

Luqi didn't understand what was going on, so she squatted down and responded softly, "Yes, Madam!"

Afterwards, Luqi sent several eunuchs to pass the news to the eunuchs and palace maids of various concubines, asking them to inform their masters that Concubine Wangyueju was promoted to Imperial Concubine.

The virtuous concubine did this simply to get Song Nanxiang caught up in public opinion.

A concubine who had no achievements was promoted to noble concubine. How embarrassed were the concubines who had never been promoted?

……

Jingren Palace.

Queen Chen was the first to learn about Song Nanxiang's promotion to Imperial Concubine. Her confusion has turned into understanding.

If she, as the queen, wanted to know the reason, she only had to ask Liu Sheng, who was by the emperor's side.

When she heard that Nanxiang had some knowledge of medicine and had developed a medicine that could alleviate Shenxingsi's condition, she was not only surprised but also shocked.

Everyone in the harem knew that Song Nanxiang was an extremely unpopular concubine's daughter of a ninth-rank official. It was a blessing from heaven that she could learn some arts such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It was hard for her to believe that she knew medicine.

However, what Song Nanxiang developed was able to allow the emperor to be promoted in one fell swoop, which has already proved its authenticity.

She couldn't help but feel inexplicably worried about Nanxiang's delivery in April.

Perhaps there would be a huge flaw in her plan.

"Caizhi, go to the storehouse and pick out some valuables to send to Wangyueju as a gift of congratulations from me."

Chen spoke loudly, then went to the study alone and started writing a letter.

……

Wangyueju.

At this time, all the gifts sent by the concubines in the harem had gathered outside the Wangyue Palace.

But they were all stopped outside the palace by several eunuchs guarding the gate.

The eunuchs and palace maids who presented the gifts suddenly felt ashamed, and many of them had extremely gloomy faces.

Their master came with good intentions to deliver a gift, but was stopped outside the door by Song Nanxiang, who had just been promoted to a noble concubine. Isn't this an act of bullying to the concubines in the harem?

"I'm sorry, everyone. My queen is pregnant now. It's not appropriate for so many people to enter the palace."

The gatekeeper's little notebook spoke loudly.

Nan Xiang had long guessed that the concubines in the harem would do this, so she had sent people to block the door. The emperor had to undergo a round of alcohol wiping when he came in, and it was even more impossible for the servants to come in.

Finally, Caizhi, the queen's personal maid who came to give gifts, was also stopped outside the palace.

Everyone felt better after seeing this.

Even the people around the queen were stopped, so it was understandable that the eunuchs and palace maids around the concubines of lower rank were stopped.
