"My lady, just wait until you gain favor!"
"Once favored, if the Emperor visits a few more times, who knows, you might conceive!"
Ding Xiang still had full confidence in her mistress.
Honored Lady Du gave a self-deprecating smile. Without someone's support, it's hard to stand out in this harem!
Having said that, she continued looking at the Child-Granting Guanyin.
Ding Xiang's eyes darted around. "My lady, I heard... Honored Lady Jiang is doing well. When I went to collect our evening meal, I saw the Imperial Kitchen had given them much better dishes than ours—they even had soup!"
"If we want soup here, we have to beg and plead for ages!" Ding Xiang sighed.
Honored Lady Du immediately perked up. "Are you telling the truth?"
Ding Xiang nodded. "Of course, I am!"
Honored Lady Du shook her head. It's not possible. Since no one is favored, why should she be living so well! I haven't... had soup in such a long time.
