Luo Ninghai slowly opened her eyes. Beside her, Meng Qianzhong was still sleeping. She couldn't help but poke his forehead with her finger, causing him to let out a low groan as he frowned.

"Imperial Concubine Wan." Meng Qianzhong smiled and stretched lazily as he tilted his head to look at her.

"Your majesty," Luo Ninghai shyly pushed him. "Get up quickly, you still have to attend the morning assembly today."

Hearing the two words "morning assembly", Meng Qianzhong started acting cute like a child, "Sigh, Imperial Concubine Wan's palace is so comfortable, I really don't want to go to the morning assembly."

Luo Ninghai's cheeks flushed red, she anxiously pushed him a few more times: "Your majesty, if you don't get up, those ministers will gossip again."

"If I were to enter the morning assembly, wouldn't I have heard even more gossip?" Meng Qianzhong reached out to pinch her nose, his eyes filled with love.

"As soon as chenqie ascended to the throne, the emperor woke up late. Noble Consort Ru will blame chenqie for not understanding the rules." Luo Ninghai pouted her lips in distress.

Meng Qianzhong said as he gave a light harrumph, "We do not manage the harem for the Noble Consort to cause her trouble."

Luo Ninghai's heart moved as she pretended to be afraid. "The Noble Consort Empress is the master of the imperial palace, so I don't dare disobey the Empress's words."

"Who said she was the head of the imperial harem? Has Zhen ever given her this title before?" Meng Qianzhong's face darkened.

Luo Ninghai saw that his expression was strange and quickly replied, "The Noble Consort's Empress said so …"

"She's overthinking it," Meng Qianzhong said as the corner of his mouth twitched, "She's the empress dowager's most highly ranked concubine, and not the empress dowager. There's a difference between the two, you don't have to listen to her every word in the future."

Luo Ninghai suppressed the joy in her heart, bit her lips, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Alright," Meng Qianzhong lifted a corner of the embroidered bed, "serve us in putting on our clothes."

Luo Ninghai stood up obediently and went to get the dragon robe on the shelf.

"Sigh," Meng Qianzhong looked at her thoughtfully. "Since you have ascended to the top, do you want us to bestow you another palace?"

Luo Ninghai shook her head, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty. It's just that Big Sister Consort Xian is currently pregnant, and this concubine is living with Big Sister together in the Zhongcui Palace, it's also convenient for me to take care of her."

Meng Qianzhong looked at her with praise, "When Consort Xian was pregnant, you did a lot of things for her.

Luo Ninghai bowed slightly, "When Big Sister Consort Xian entered the palace, she took great care of Chenqie, and the favor of dripping water should be repaid. Chenqie is nothing much."

Meng Qianzhong patted her hands, his gaze as gentle as water. "If there's a father, there must be a daughter, but if there's a brother, there must be a younger sister."

Luo Ninghai's smile was like a flower. "Chenqie and Big Brother are both subjects of the Emperor, and their contributions are also his. They naturally do not dare to be proud of their achievements and have lost their sense of propriety."

"However," Meng Qianzhong said as his eyes dimmed, "Regarding the matter of your brother and Consort Xian's maternal family …"

A cold light flashed past Luo Ninghai's eyes, her face still smiling, "Brother, aside from being a traitor, you are acting on behalf of the heavens. For the sake of the Emperor, big sister Consort Xian is intelligent, so she naturally understands this point."

"No matter what," Meng Qianzhong faintly sighed, "she still has this knot in her heart. If only she was as understanding as you are, it would be great."

Su Rushuang sat on the Noble Consort's chair happily in both body and mind, and smiled at the Consort Xian below: "Big sister Consort Xian, do you have the baby protection medicine that the royal doctors sent over?"

The Consort Xian bowed respectfully towards her, "Your concubine has a dragon embryo, I dare not treat you lightly."

Su Rushuang's smile grew wider as she said, "Elder sister is holding onto the emperor's first dragon child. You must be careful."

Consort Xian stared blankly at her.

"Why?" Su Rushuang reached out to stroke the bright pearl that was swaying in the air, lifted her lips and said: "Did I say something wrong?"

Luo Ninghai squinted her eyes. SShe knew that Consort Xian was thinking of Mu Langhua's child from the past, Meng Xinglou. He gently advised her, "Did big sister not hear what the Noble Consort said clearly?

Consort Xian's face turned pale as she bit her lips and said, "I couldn't hear clearly just now. I beg that Empress Noble Consort forgive me."

"It's normal for people to not hear it clearly," Su Rushuang swept a cold glance across Luo Ninghai, "If you think wrong, then you will be in big trouble."

The Consort Xian half knelt down worriedly. "Your concubine doesn't dare."

Su Rushuang sneered again and again, then waved towards Chen Xiang, "Consort Xian has a body, help her up now."

Chen Xiang's face was full of smiles as she helped Consort Xian up. "Empress, be careful."

The Consort Xian calmly pushed her hand away and softly said, "Many thanks, young lady." She got up and sat on her seat.

The shadow behind the blade gave the Consort Xian a show of strength. Then, the Imperial Concubine Wan who had just come up came out. Su Rushuang looked at Luo Ninghai, and a playful smile formed on her lips, "Imperial Concubine Wan's complexion is looking good today."

Luo Ninghai knew that Su Rushuang was going to look for trouble with her again from the bottom of her heart, so she said respectfully with a nod of her head, "Your concubine's complexion is good because you're free, so I didn't help the Noble Consort. I hope you can forgive me."

Su Rushuang took a deep breath. She wanted to continue teasing her, but she was stopped. She was promoted to a better position, and even her brain had developed.

"As the noble master of the imperial palace, I naturally have to shoulder this responsibility," Su Rushuang smiled as she swept her gaze across the entire hall. "The Emperor has spent the past few days at the Imperial Concubine Wan's place.

Luo Ninghai maintained a respectful expression and laughed: "Your majesty's life with his concubine is not even a tenth of the life of the Noble Consort's Empress. His concubine has neither the favor of the Noble Consort nor the luck of the Consort Xian's concubine, I'm afraid this good news has been announced much earlier."

Su Rushuang pursed her lips into a smile, "It seems like little sister doesn't want to give birth to a dragon for the emperor."

"Luo Ninghai paused, this Noble Consort Ru must definitely find trouble with her." With the Empress's understanding, this concubine believes that the dragon embryo must be adapted to nature in order to be obtained, so she doesn't dare to be impatient. "

Su Rushuang looked at her meaningfully, then laughed: "That Consort Xian is truly a world at times, after ten months, they will definitely give birth to a fat white prince."

The Consort Xian lowered her head and smiled. "I am indebted to the Empress for her words. With the assistance of the Empress, I can definitely help the Emperor give birth to a prince."

"Hehe, it's the beginning of spring. Little sisters, you must take good care of your bodies and not get caught in the cold."

The fine blue and white porcelain cup was smashed into pieces on the floor. Su Rushuang gritted her teeth as she looked at Chen Xiang, "How did you send people to do things? The Emperor had only gone to the Consort Xian a few times, how did she get a child so quickly?"

Chen Xiang panicked and kneeled on the ground. "Your Highness, forgive me. Your servant really doesn't know, moreover …"

"And what?"

Chen Xiang bit her lower lip, and decided to speak out. "Besides, the few people that I sent to Zhongcui Palace have all disappeared for no reason."

"How could that be?" Su Rushuang looked at her in shock, "Why did you disappear without a reason? What kind of trash are you looking for?!"

Chen Xiang said anxiously, "I found scouts that were carefully trained. I don't know why, but they all disappeared."

Su Rushuang slammed the table in frustration, "It's good that you died outside for nothing. If someone caught you and interrogated you, it wouldn't be good."

Chen Xiang advised gently, "Empress, do not be anxious. and Imperial Concubine Wan live in Zhongcui Palace, they do not have this ability, nor do they dare to oppose Empress."

"This is different from the past," Su Rushuang's eyes were bloodshot as she said, "Their Zhongcui Palace has now become a precious piece of land. One of them is able to make love every night and the other is a emperor’s kid.

Chen Xiang said softly, "Empress, don't worry. You're still the highest ranking mistress in the palace. They all need to see the Empress's eyes and act accordingly."

"When you think about the Imperial Concubine Wan who is putting on an act this morning, I get angry," Su Rushuang said as she clenched her teeth, "Chen Xiang, how long has it been since your majesty has come to our place?"

Chen Xiang counted with her fingers as her face paled. "Esteemed Empress, it's been a month since the emperor visited."

Su Rushuang held her upper body up with a headache, a ball of anger rose from her heart, "It's all because of the two people from Zhongcui Palace."

"Empress, don't be angry," Chen Xiang stepped forward to support her. "It's not worth it to ruin your body for such a popularity."

"That's right, that's right, I can't get angry," Su Rushuang suddenly said in a somewhat sad tone, "Why was I happy all day long and did not make any movements, while the Consort Xian only slept a few times before giving birth to a child? When will I be able to have my own child?"

"Empress, don't say that children can do this sort of thing? You have to take it slowly."

"It's all because of that group of damned quacks. They didn't even give me any good medicine. It's just a matter of time before I have a stomach." Su Rushuang said hatefully.

"The medicines that the imperial doctors sent to the Huayang Palace are all precious herbs," Chen Xiang said with a smile. "Empress need not worry, the Consort Xian is just an ordinary concubine, and her child is only an ordinary prince. When the Empress has a child in the future, she will be a child of the Noble Consort, and her status will be unknown."

Hearing her words, Su Rushuang felt a lot more comfortable in her heart, "Since the spies that I sent have disappeared, then I will send a few more over. Consort Xian is pregnant, Imperial Concubine Wan is pampered, I can't let my guard down."

"Yes, Empress."

Luo Ninghai put down the black cat in her hand, looked at the corpse on the ground indifferently, and spoke: "Is this another person that Su Rushuang had sent?"

"Yes," the woman in black replied. "As usual, this person has been trained."

"In order to deal with me and the Consort Xian, Su Rushuang had really put in a lot of effort. Unfortunately, even if one is considered inferior to heaven, this fool can only waste her life in vain.

"What the Empress said is right," the woman said respectfully. "Is this person being dealt with as he normally would be?"

"Just throw it in the abandoned well," Luo Ninghai reached out to stroke the cat's fur, "If you catch another one, it will be sent back to the Huayang Palace, letting Su Rushuang remember it for a long time."

"Yes, this servant obeys."

"Qing Ning," Luo Ninghai said with a smile, "You're pretty amazing. You found out that there were so many spies in the Zhongcui Palace."

"The reason why Lord General bought this servant from the slave market is to have this servant enter the palace to assist the Empress," Qing Ning smiled slightly.

Luo Ninghai smiled and said: "Since you are so loyal, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

Qing Ning replied: "Then the Consort Xian's Empress …"

Luo Ninghai gently raised her hand, "It's not urgent yet. Su Rushuang has Huayang Palace, but her heart is always on it. With her here, we don't even need to make a move."
