on New Year's Eve, His Majesty carried a beautiful woman out of the Noble Consort's palace and the next day she was made a concubine, residing in the Qingyun Hall.

　　This promotion was simply unreasonable, just like when Xu Jiaojiao first came to Dashing and was directly made a Noble Consort without any reason.

　　But it was enough to cause a sensation.

　　Because this meant that after the Noble Consort monopolized the Emperor's favor for a whole year, someone had finally broken the deadlock.

　　The concubines in the harem also regained their vitality on this night, and when I went to the Empress's palace the next day to pay respects, it was crowded with people.

　　Their eyes were filled with expectation, but when they saw my face, disappointment appeared on their faces again.

　　"What, it's just a bit more beautiful." Only the Empress smiled at me and said, "You've worked hard, sister." I respectfully bowed and did not overstep.

　　She looked at me with a deeper gaze.

　　From then on, in my free time, she often invited me to the palace for a chat, occasionally reciting poetry and prose with a smile in her eyes.

　　But I didn't always have time, Pei Qi stayed in my palace for almost two months, I didn't resist, but I didn't show off either.

　　It was just occasionally that news of the Noble Consort falling ill came from outside the palace.

　　He hesitated for a moment, I didn't hear clearly, and looked at him with a confused smile: "What's wrong?" His gaze stared fixedly at my face, and then he hugged me anxiously.

　　It seemed that the Noble Consort couldn't sit still after these two months.
