Chapter 385 This is a good thing!
In the imperial harem, most of the palaces that people could live in were located in the harem. The other palaces were either the offices of the ministers, the residences of the palace maids and eunuchs, or the residences of the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, Miaoyun can only be temporarily placed in the harem.
Currently, only Shuangning Palace is occupied by Murong Yishuang in the harem; the rest of the palaces are empty.
"Senior Miaoyun, this is the Emperor's harem. Currently, there is only one Consort in the harem, so apart from Shuangning Palace and Fengyi Palace, you may choose any palace here as your residence..."
Cao Zhengchun brought Miaoyun to the inner palace and spoke to her.
Shuangning Palace is the residence of Murong Yishuang, while Fengyi Palace is the residence of the future Emperor and Empress of Great Qin. Therefore, Miaoyun must not choose either of these two palaces.
"Okay, then I'll have to choose carefully..."
Miaoyun said with a smile.
She then began to wander around the inner palace, with Cao Zhengchun following closely behind her.
But after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find a palace that satisfied her.
"Senior Miaoyun, are none of these palaces to your liking?"
Cao Zhengchun asked in confusion.
Miaoyun shook her head, her expression forlorn, and said, "These palaces are all quite nice, but they're too desolate. You know I've been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years, and I've spent all of that time alone. Over time, I've become somewhat afraid of loneliness..."
Upon hearing her words, Cao Zhengchun looked thoughtful. After a moment, he said, "If you enjoy lively places, this old servant does have a place that you might like..."
"Oh? Where?"
Upon hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, Miaoyun showed a hint of interest on her face and asked a question.
"Maple Palace!"
Cao Zhengchun slowly uttered a name.
Fengling Palace, located next to Shuangning Palace, is filled with maple trees. Now in autumn, the fiery red maple leaves cover the entire palace, making it look like it is in a sea of fire, which is very beautiful.
At this moment, Cao Zhengchun brought Miaoyun to the outside of Fengling Palace, and Miaoyun was immediately attracted by the scenery.
"Senior Miaoyun, what do you think of this place?"
Cao Zhengchun asked.
"Hmm? The scenery is nice, but this place doesn't seem any different from other places, and there's hardly anyone around..."
Miaoyun nodded and spoke.
"Senior, please don't be in such a hurry..."
Cao Zhengchun smiled and began to speak.
"This place is right next to Consort Shuangning Palace. Consort Shuang is currently pregnant with the Emperor's child. If you feel bored, you can go to Shuangning Palace. There are many palace maids there, and Consort Shuang herself is also there. You can keep her company. The harem is indeed a bit deserted these days..."
Cao Zhengchun said with a smile.
"Shuangning Palace?"
Miaoyun looked at the palace next to her and indeed noticed that there were many people there.
"Alright, then I'll stay here for the time being!"
Miaoyun nodded and said.
"Then this old servant will take his leave. Fengling Palace is fully equipped. I will send some maids and eunuchs to attend to you shortly. Please feel free to give them any instructions..."
Cao Zhengchun nodded and said.
Miao Yun nodded in agreement, and then Cao Zhengchun left.
After Cao Zhengchun left, Miaoyun headed towards Shuangning Palace.
At this moment, inside Shuangning Palace, Huangfu Sixuan rushed into Murong Yishuang's bedroom in a great hurry.
At this moment, Murong Yishuang's belly was already slightly protruding, and she was lying on the bed, resting with her eyes closed.
Sensing Huangfu Sixuan's presence, she opened her eyes, looked at Huangfu Sixuan who had rushed in with a puzzled expression, and said, "Sister Huangfu, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Yishuang, something terrible has happened..."
Huangfu Sixuan said with a grim expression.
"What's wrong, Sister Huangfu? Tell me slowly..."
Murong Yishuang came to Huangfu Sixuan's side, patted him on the back and said.
"Sixuan, guess what I just saw!"
Huangfu Sixuan looked at Murong Yishuang and said with a solemn expression.
"What did you see?"
Murong Yishuang said with a blank expression.
"I saw Eunuch Cao lead a woman into Fengling Palace..."
Huangfu Sixuan said urgently.
Murong Yishuang was a little confused when she heard Huangfu Sixuan's words. Cao Zhengchun had brought a woman into Fengling Palace.
When Huangfu Sixuan saw Murong Yishuang's expression, she immediately knew that Murong Yishuang had misunderstood, and her face couldn't help but blush slightly.
"It's not what you think! Besides, Cao Zhengchun was just a eunuch, what could he possibly do!"
Huangfu Sixuan quickly said.
"what?"
Upon hearing Huangfu Sixuan's words, Murong Yishuang's face flushed slightly, a hint of panic flashing across her expression. She said, "Sister Huangfu, what are you saying? How can you utter such lewd words..."
"Ahem! Okay, do you know what this means...?"
Huangfu Sixuan coughed awkwardly, then her expression returned to seriousness as she spoke.
"What does it mean?"
Murong Yishuang still hadn't reacted.
Huangfu Sixuan felt a headache coming on when she saw her younger sister's innocent appearance.
With Murong Yishuang's naive and innocent nature, how will she survive in the harem in the future?
"Think about it! Cao Zhengchun is the Emperor's personal eunuch, and he is extremely trusted. If he brings a woman here, that's a big problem. Where is this? It's the harem! All the Emperor's women live here. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Huangfu Sixuan said with a sense of disappointment.
"What? You mean the woman Cao Zhengchun brought is the Emperor's new concubine?"
Murong Yishuang said in disbelief.
"That's right!"
Huangfu Sixuan nodded and said.
"This is a good thing!"
Suddenly, Murong Yishuang blurted out this sentence.
Huangfu Sixuan, who was looking at Murong Yishuang, almost strained her back when she heard her words.
"No...no, what did you say?"
Huangfu Sixuan said in disbelief.
"I said, this is a good thing!"
Murong Yishuang smiled and said.
"Are you... serious?"
Huangfu Sixuan looked at Murong Yishuang and stammered.
"Of course, as the ruler of the dynasty, His Majesty has only had me as his concubine for so long. Although the ministers in the court haven't said anything, I know they must have some opinions in their hearts. I have tried to persuade him many times, but His Majesty has never taken another concubine. I didn't expect that a woman would enter the harem this time. It seems that His Majesty has changed his mind..."
Murong Yishuang said with a smile, her face full of happiness.
Seeing Murong Yishuang's happy expression, Huangfu Sixuan didn't know what to say for a moment.
She always puts Ying Chen first, without considering that if the number of people in the harem increases, there will be no place for her.
After all, with more people around, Yingchen's love couldn't be limited to just her.
They might even be neglected.
"Sister Huangfu, how about it? Would you consider entering the palace as a concubine?"
Suddenly, Murong Yishuang hugged Huangfu Sixuan and said with a smile.
Huangfu Sixuan was caught off guard by her sudden remark. How did this get involved with me? We're talking about your business right now!
