As soon as Rong Fu entered the palace, he felt warm. The furnace had been lit early. Although it was autumn, Concubine Mei was weak and afraid of the cold, so the furnace was usually lit earlier than in other palaces.

"Greetings to Imperial Concubine Mei, greetings to all the empresses." Rongfu entered the palace and bowed first to Imperial Concubine Mei, who was sitting on the throne, and then to the empresses from each palace who came to greet them.

Xia Rongxin was listening to the flattery of various empresses at this time, knowing in her heart that these were lies sincerely, but women were still willing to listen to them, and she couldn't stop smiling on her face.

The smile on Xia Rongxin's face froze as soon as she saw Rongfu coming in. There must be no one else except Ming Fei Lu Huiling who deserves Rongfu's special announcement.

"What's wrong?" Although I knew who was coming, I still had to ask one more question.

"Concubine Mei, Concubine Ming is here." Rongfu said truthfully.

As soon as these words came out, all the concubines in the palace began to whisper, and suddenly they all looked at Concubine Mei in silence.

Concubine An smiled and said to all the concubines, "So it turns out that Concubine Ming is coming too? Everyone has been sitting here for a long time. I thought I couldn't invite Concubine Ming because she was promoted today."

Concubine Mei was leaning on the table, with cigarette smoke rising from the incense burner on the table. Her face was calm, with a faint smile on her lips, she was dignified and elegant.

"After all, it is a major event in the palace. Although Concubine Ming is the fourth concubine and is canonized today, in the end, Concubine Mei is more important. She dare not not come." Yan Bin said while holding it.

"Okay, it's such a cold day, why don't you invite Concubine Ming to come in." Xia Rongxin smiled and said, "Yun Xi, go and invite her in person."

"Yes, your concubine." Yun Xi blessed her body, turned around and went out.

In late autumn, when winter was approaching, the night was really cool. As soon as Yun Xi opened the curtains, she could feel the coolness outside the palace, so she quickly lowered the curtains to prevent the cold air from entering and chilling the ladies.

At a glance, Yun Xi saw Concubine Ming, who was standing in the courtyard with her back to the palace door and looking up at the moon. Yun Xi remembered that when Concubine Ming was just Lu Huiling, she was arrogant and domineering, relying on the fact that she was from the Prime Minister's Palace.

The eldest lady always formed gangs to bully others, and even quarreled and quarreled with Her Royal Highness Princess Wangshu many times. Now when we meet again, she seems to be much more dignified and self-possessed.

"My slave, please pay your respects to Concubine Ming. May Concubine Ming be blessed with peace and happiness." Yun Xi stepped forward and knelt down to salute.

Lu Huiling turned around when he heard the sound, and at a glance he could tell that this was Aunt Yun Xi who had been serving Concubine Mei. In the past, when Concubine Mei was still an elder, Yun Xi would personally lead the ladies to their seats when hosting palace banquets.

.

"No courtesy." Lu Huiling finally spoke.

Yun Xi raised her head and looked at Lu Huiling. It didn't matter if she didn't look at her, but after one glance, she really thought that Lu Huiling was the Mingxian Queen.

Yun Xi's eyes were full of surprise. She couldn't believe that she had never thought Lu Huiling was so similar to Empress Mingxian in the past. How could she look like Empress Mingxian when she saw her again after so many days? She even had a serious temperament.

The gentle and virtuous person she once was has changed from her arrogant and domineering attitude.

"Ming...Ming Concubine." Yun Xi forced herself to come to her senses and said, "Concubine Ming has invited you."

Lu Huiling followed her gesture and was about to walk into the palace, but Yun Xi was still stunned. Lu Huiling stopped in front of the curtain, turned around and called: "Aunt Yun Xi, you want me to

Will you lift the curtain yourself?"

As he said that, he slowly stretched out his hand to pull.

After hearing this, Yun Xi hurried forward and opened the curtain first: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Xu Lan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her. This young Concubine Ming must be too sinister.

Concubine Mei was not allowed to have so many people in her palace. She looked upset, so Xu Lan did not go in and waited outside with the maids and aunts from other palaces.

When the maids and maids in other palaces saw that Aunt Xu Lan was the attendant of the Ming Concubine, they naturally followed their own concubines to exclude her. When they saw Xu Lan standing over, they all walked around and stood elsewhere, not wanting to let their mistress go.

When I came out, I saw myself standing with the maid of Minghua Hall.

Lu Huiling walked into the palace and felt warm again.

The concubines who had been in the palace for a long time were shocked when they saw her. Isn't this the reincarnation of Empress Mingxian?

Lu Hui Lingquan didn't see their surprised expressions and walked straight over. According to her position, she was going to sit under Concubine Mei.

Seeing her approaching, all the concubines reluctantly stood up and bowed to her and saluted: "I send my regards to Concubine Ming, may I wish you good luck to Concubine Ming."

"No gifts."

All the concubines also took their seats.

Lu Huiling didn't even look at them, walked straight to the middle, bowed her knees to Concubine Mei, and said, "Concubine, I send my regards to Concubine Mei, may I wish you all the best."

Xia Rongxin looked at her with a smile in her eyes, not at all as angry as she was when she heard the news this morning. In front of everyone, Xia Rongxin always maintained her dignity and self-control as the queen of the throne.

Xia Rongxin was not in a hurry to let her get back on her feet. She looked at her with interest and said to Concubine An: "I am the reason why Concubine Ming is so beloved by the Emperor. She went from being a female official to being the fourth concubine in just one night.

Now that she looks so fresh and graceful, she is much more dignified than before entering the palace, I feel very happy when I see her."

Concubine An said with a clear smile: "Concubine Ming is younger and more beautiful than us... haha... it is natural that she is more favored by the emperor than us, but concubine Ming is the one who is most important to the emperor. We...

, but I am not as convinced as the imperial concubine."

"The Emperor is equal to the rain and the dew, and has always been fair and just. Naturally, you are also the most beloved of the Emperor." Xia Rongxin smiled politely, "Everyone has their moments of glory."

"But the imperial concubine is different. She has always been glorious." Yan Bin said with a smile, "The emperor specially promoted the imperial concubine to the imperial concubine today. The concubines are lying if they say they are not jealous, but looking at the entire harem, who

I have such a good fortune as my empress. I heard that the emperor will come to Yichun Palace to sleep tonight. The emperor has not been to my concubine’s palace for a long time."

After hearing this, the other concubines also flattered him one by one.

Lu Huiling listened to their eloquent conversation, and her knees were trembling. Although she hated Xia Rongxin in her heart, she remained calm on the surface and forced herself to endure it.

Seeing her knees shaking, Zhi Guiren couldn't help but said: "I think Concubine Ming's legs are shaking from the cold after being outside in the wind for a long time."

Xia Rongxin caught a glimpse of Lu Huiling's trembling legs, smiled and said, "I have such a bad memory that I have forgotten that Concubine Ming has not sat down yet. Hurry up and sit flat."

"Thank you, Concubine Mei." Lu Huiling stood up, blessed her body, and took a seat under Concubine Mei.

"Concubine Ming is staying in Minghua Hall today, are you still used to it?" As soon as she sat down, Xia Rongxin looked at Lu Huiling and asked.

"Thank you for your concern, my concubine." Lu Huiling said with a faint smile.
