The next day, when Shen Qingwan woke up, she was shocked to find herself lying on the bed. She suddenly jumped up in fright and looked around for Fu Yuheng's figure.

He saw a type of maidservant, who was holding a basin as he knelt beside him, quietly waiting for him.

"What time is it now?" The grievances in Shen Qingwan's heart could not be described with words, she was tired, but she would rather not have this glory that others viewed as their highest honor!

Taking a deep breath, she walked in with light footsteps.

Seated on the main seat was the queen, she was dignified and generous, her entire person looking elegant and noble, and beside her was Imperial Consort Liu. She leisurely drank her tea, with a disdainful expression on her face.

"Greetings to the empress. Your consort has come late, please forgive me."

Shen Qingwan had heard that the Queen was very kind and it was the first time seeing her, so she didn't know what to do.

Shen Qingwan was flattered and replied respectfully, "Thank you, esteemed mistress."

Liu Chugrong slammed his teacup on the table. The whole room became silent.

Shen Qing Wan had long heard that the Imperial Consort Liu was a person that was hard to mess with, but she didn't expect to make things difficult for herself when she first met him. She had once challenged the imperial harem, and even the empress had to treat her with respect. After having the carrageenan, she was no longer that pampered, and her personality had become violent.

"Please forgive me, Imperial Concubine. It was chenqie's fault." Shen Qingwan's butt hadn't warmed up yet, but she had to get up and reply, "Chenqie is used to being lazy at home and isn't used to it at the moment, so I came late today. This concubine knows that she doesn't dare to violate the rules of the palace. "

All of the concubines in the room rolled their eyes at Shen Qingwan. Those who didn't speak up for her were all waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

They were all jealous, entering the palace from the first stage Consort Xian, such a privilege, had never been seen before.

On the other hand, carrageenan calmly said, "Elder sister, could it be that you are deaf? The Empress has already spoken and forgiven Elder Sister Consort Xian."

This was a reminder to Liu Chugrong that she wasn't the head of the imperial harem yet. Although the emperor had given her the power to assist in the affairs of the harem, the empress was still the one in charge.

Liu Chugrong said fiercely, "You!"

carrageenan smiled and did not speak further. The queen, on the other hand, smiled.

"Is Consort Xian's sister used to living in the Changle Palace?" The empress said slowly, "If there's anything you're not used to, or if the palace is lacking, come find me."

Shen Qingwan sat down and obediently nodded her head. "Yes, chenqie understands. Thank you, esteemed empress."

The empress waved her hand. "We are sisters of our own, there is no need for Consort Xian's sister to be polite."

The Consort De raised her eyebrows and said: "Consort Xian's sister is indeed as beautiful as a fairy. No wonder people in the capital all said that there was a peerless young lady in the Shen Mansion who could match up all of us."

The Consort De Zhao Yuan Rong was the head of the palace's older concubines and had accompanied the emperor for a few years already. She had a princess by her side, and the emperor had accompanied her for many years before being promoted to one of the fourth concubines.

Shen Qingwan nodded her head, looked around at the surrounding concubines, and said: "Big Sister Consort De is saying these words, with the Empress' heavenly beauty, Imperial Concubine looks like a celestial goddess, moreover, how can I compare to the sisters here, Consort De is exaggerating."

Hehe, Shen Qing Wan laughed coldly in her heart, each of them wanting to dig a hole for themselves to jump into. She respects the Empress and the Imperial Consort, but who do you think you Consort De are? Since they were all of the first rank, why would he let them go?

"chenqie actually heard that when Big Sister Consort De was young, she could be called 'a fish out of a goose'. After so many years, big sister hasn't changed one bit."

When Consort De heard this, her expression changed. She was originally the oldest concubine here, and Shen Qingwan's words of "a phoenix falling to its prey" were simply mocking her. The current Consort De didn't have the slightest bit of her former beauty.

When the crowd heard this, they burst into laughter.

Consort De could not help but scold: "Consort Xian, you are too presumptuous!"

"Elder sister, what you said isn't right. You have the same standing as the Consort Xian, so where do you start from with this line of 'presumptuous'?" carrageenan opened her mouth again, she rolled her eyes at Consort De, played with the armor on her hands, and asked softly.

Consort De wanted to say something, but the Queen stood up slowly, supported by the mama beside her.

"I'm tired, so I'll go back to my room to rest first. The sisters can stay here to chat about family matters."

At this time, who would want to stay here? They all got up, with Liu Chugrong walking at the front.

"Thank you for speaking up for me just now." Shen Qingwan and the carrageenan walked to the end and said gratefully to her.

carrageenan snorted, "I'm not speaking up for you, it's just that I didn't like their haughty looks from the beginning. You need to know, you were the one who stole my Consort Xian's position, so how can I help you? "

In the face of carrageenan's sudden coldness, Shen Qingwan was suddenly at a loss of what to do. By the time she reacted, the carrageenan was already long gone.

Shen Qing Wan was startled, Lian Yun did not understand: "Empress, this …"

She shook her head and said calmly, "Let's go."
