Ye Qiongjiang froze for a moment before realizing what was happening. Mo Hua, this name was rarely mentioned by anyone, it's only because this name was precisely the name of the Da Xia Emperor. ”Then you …” Although there were many questions that he wanted to ask, the moment he opened his mouth, he was filled with a myriad of thoughts. For a moment, he was unable to say anything.

Gu Rongzhi smiled as she shook his head, ”Qiongjiang, we have a long time ahead of us. There are some things that I don't need to tell you, you will slowly come to know of them. However, you have to take care of yourself. You have to live well in this Deep Palace. ”

Jade Dew Hall.

”Esteemed Empress Lan?” Ye Qiongjiang was still not completely awake, so he allowed her to put on her clothes. She was a little confused as to what it meant to visit the Imperial Consort Lan.

Fang Chun looked at his own mistress's confused look and sighed. She helped her tidy up her clothes and said, ”Esteemed Empress, after the new concubine receives her kindness, she will have to go and pay respects to the Empress. But our Da Xia Empire's empress … As you know, this empress's status is rather special, and she rarely goes out to meet people. But we still have to keep in touch and maintain good relations with each other. ”

”Imperial Consort Lan? Why do you want to see the Imperial Consort Lan first? ” Before Ye Qiongjiang, the emperor also had four concubines, namely the Imperial Consort Zhen, Imperial Consort Hui, Imperial Consort Yun, and Imperial Consort Lan. Why did she have to visit the Imperial Consort Lan first?

”Your servant has heard that Esteemed Empress Lan has the best temper out of all of your concubines, and she is also a very amiable person. She's very easy to get into contact with.” Fang Chun rolled her eyes and continued: ”Let's see your majesty help the emperor, not to mention women, only this Imperial Consort Lan seems to be the most liked by the emperor, and there are still many times every month, it's much better than the other three esteemed ladies, of course you have to pay her a visit first, Esteemed Empress.”

Ye Qiongjiang could not help but frown. This was probably the unavoidable fate of girls who lived in the harem. In order to fight for a man, they had to make use of each other, frame each other, and torture each other.

However, people had to adapt to the environment, and those who were trapped within had to be forced into a situation of their own accord. Although he didn't want to fight for a favor, he had no choice but to do it.

After making up his mind, Ye Qiongjiang naturally brought out some of his spirit, dressed up meticulously with Fang Chun's help, held up the jade bracelet that was wrapped in a gift box, and walked towards the Blue Mist Palace that the Imperial Consort Lan lived in.

Just as he reached the entrance of the palace, he heard a voice from inside, ”Is the Empress going to see that Imperial Consort Qiong today?”

”That Imperial Consort Qiong really doesn't know how to appreciate favors. Using her new favor, she was the first to come pay respects to the Empress, and she even made her pounce on empty air!”

”Puchi” laughed, and another soft voice said, ”Xi Yan, don't be so harsh. I am not a queen and my position in Imperial Consort Qiong is equal to mine, so there is nothing much to say about paying respects to. ”

Xi Yan snorted, ”She deserves a lesson! In any case, the Empress shouldn't go see her today … ”

Fang Chun was angry when she heard it from the outside, she looked at Ye Qiongjiang with furrowed brows, and said while clenching her teeth: ”Empress, don't take the words of these servants to heart, they are all just useless things.”

When Ye Qiongjiang heard this, her eyebrows furrowed even more. Sighing, she said, ”Let's go in.”

Naturally, there was a young eunuch who hurriedly ran in to report the visit. Fang Chun carried Ye Qiongjiang up the stairs and stepped over the threshold.

The furnishings inside the room were quite exquisite. There was a pot of beautiful orchids with purple petals on the table opposite the door. The exquisite structure was as if it was carved out of jade.

”Greetings Lady Qiong!”

A palace maid came out to welcome him, her dress fluttered, and she bowed gracefully, and the voice she heard was Xi Yan.

Ye Qiongjiang's footsteps paused slightly. She did not pay any attention to her and walked inside.

Fang Chun followed Ye Qiongjiang and walked over to Xi Yan's side. She made a funny face at her, but unfortunately, she happened to see it right in front of her and glared back at him, unwilling to be outdone.

Although Ye Qiongjiang saw it, she did not mind. She directly entered the inner room and saw a well-dressed woman sitting on the bed. Beside her stood a palace maid.

”Qiongjiang greets Big Sister Imperial Consort Lan.”

Seeing Ye Qiongjiang coming in, the well-dressed woman immediately smiled and stood up to welcome him. ”Are you Sister Qiong Fei? I went to see you yesterday, but unfortunately you weren't at the palace.

Imperial Consort Lan pulled Ye Qiongjiang's hands in surprise, looked at her from top to bottom, and nodded in praise. ”No wonder the emperor likes her, she's really a beauty!”

”Big Sister Imperial Consort Lan must be joking.” Ye Qiongjiang revealed a smile, and gave a meaningful look to Fang Chun, who immediately passed over the box.

Ye Qiongjiang took the box in her hands, ”I only brought the hometown jade bracelet with me when I came here recently. I hope you don't mind.”

”Sister, you're too kind.” Imperial Consort Lan smiled slightly and did not extend her hand to receive it. She did not even need to speak to receive it as the palace maid, Begonia, was standing beside her.
