In the evening, Zhan Yanhui transfered Consort Xi to her palace and the news spread like wildfire across the palace. Most of the women in the harem speculated that the emperor planned to give the children of Consort Xi to the Noble Consort to raise after they were born. The rumors only enhanced their opinions of her as a selfish and ruthless woman even though it was quite a common practice among the elite families.
But the two women who had stayed together for a few days were still ignorant of this rumours. At first, Consort Xi was very awkward and uncomfortable staying in the Noble Consort's palace. She dared not casually eat the food unless she confirmed that the food was safe. She hadn't even slept well these days but she realized that the Noble Consort had not visited her since she had helped her move here and she didn't even disturb her. She gradually adjusted to the calm and quiet atmosphere in the Noble Consort's palace unlike the rumours she had first heard.
