Xia Ruqing smiled and gazed at Zhao Junyao, her eyes bright.
Similarly gazing at the Emperor were Ma Liyi, Honored Lady Lu, and Lady Shi, among others.
They had just entered the palace.
Not yet understanding the situation inside the palace, nor had they been summoned to the Emperor's bedchamber.
Seeing the Emperor so handsome and spirited.
Even without speaking a word, they could feel an aura of imperial majesty emanating from him.
They stared at the Emperor longingly, wishing they could immediately rush over to offer their tenderness.
Hoping the Emperor would remember them henceforth.
And they could win favor in the harem, giving birth to dragons and phoenixes, achieving lifelong prosperity.
Unfortunately…
Such eager eyes did not receive any response from the Emperor.
Instead, it was caught by Consort Zheng and Consort Yun.
Consort Zheng simply couldn't stand it.
Ma Liyi, that wretch, didn't come to greet her on her first day in the palace.
