As Su Wanrong's influence in the palace gradually expanded, she began to use her political strategies more cautiously. She clearly knew that behind the splendid and luxurious palace, every step was filled with calculation and probing.
One day, Su Wanrong was conversing with Xiaolian in her palace, discussing how to further strengthen her relationships with other concubines while maintaining control over the situation in the palace.
"Xiaolian, the situation in the palace is constantly changing, and we need more precise information to make judgments," Su Wanrong said thoughtfully.
Xiaolian nodded in response, " Consort Jiayu, I have already followed your instructions and secretly established a network of contacts with some palace maids and eunuchs. They can provide us with the latest news."
Su Wanrong nodded in satisfaction and then said, "In addition to gathering information, we also need to provide some help to those concubines who are at a disadvantage in the power struggle at the appropriate time, in order to gain their loyalty and support."
In the following days, Su Wanrong not only cleverly used her political acumen and intelligence network, but also gradually established a loyal support group in the harem by helping those concubines in difficulty through her medical and artistic accomplishments.
Her actions not only enhanced her prestige, but also positioned her favorably in the political struggles within the harem, allowing her to more effectively share the emperor's worries and alleviate his burdens.
After Su Wanrong regained control of the affairs of the six palaces, her first challenge came from a senior concubine who attempted to sow discord between Su Wanrong and Consort Sun.
This concubine was Wei Wanqing, who, feeling disgraced, sought to regain attention by sowing discord.
Wei Wanqing hinted to Su Wanrong at a chance gathering: "Lady Wanrong, I heard that Consort Sun has some concerns about your rapid promotion, fearing that you may threaten her position."
Su Wanrong knew that this was Wei Wanqing's probing and instigation, but she remained composed and responded calmly: "Lady Wei, Sister Sun has always been my mentor and friend. Our relationship is built on mutual respect and trust. In the palace, rumors abound and should not be taken lightly."
Later, Su Wanrong privately met with Consort Sun and directly and candidly discussed Wei Wanqing's words. After listening, Consort Sun appreciated Su Wanrong's frankness and sincerity, and expressed that she had never thought in that way. They further strengthened their trust and alliance.
This incident not only deepened the relationship between Su Wanrong and Consort Sun, but also made Su Wanrong appear more composed and wise in the power struggles of the harem. Her handling of the situation demonstrated that she not only could see through conspiracies, but also could use these situations to consolidate her alliances.

Su Wanrong In order to further consolidate her position in the harem, she decided to hold an art exhibition to showcase her paintings, calligraphy, and other artistic talents. She knew that in the harem, art was not only for entertainment, but also an important way to display personal charm and cultural literacy.
On the day of the exhibition, Su Wanrong displayed several carefully crafted paintings and calligraphy works. One painting depicting the spring scenery of the palace particularly caught people's attention, with its vivid brushstrokes and profound meaning earning praise from many concubines present at the event.
Su Wanrong personally explained the stories behind her works and her artistic philosophy at the exhibition, showcasing her cultural refinement and profound artistic attainments.
Her performance not only enhanced her cultural status in the harem, but also made other concubines look at her with admiration, even attracting the attention and praise of Emperor Han Yu.
Su Wanrong's reputation in the inner palace not only comes from her wisdom and artistic talent, but also from her outstanding medical knowledge. She often uses her medical skills to solve health problems for the palace concubines, gradually establishing a maternal image.
One morning, Concubine Liu Cui suffered from a rare illness, causing her prolonged and unbearable suffering. The palace physicians were also helpless. Upon hearing this, Su Wanrong decided to personally visit Liu Cui's palace to see if she could help her.
Arriving at the palace of Liu Cui, Su Wanrong saw the pale and suffering concubine of Liu Cui. After careful diagnosis, Su Wanrong identified the cause of the illness and began treatment.
"Liu Cui, your pain is due to excessive internal damp-heat. I have a prescription that can help regulate it," Su Wanrong said gently, while preparing the corresponding herbs for Liu Cui.
After a few days, Liu Cui's condition improved significantly, and she felt deeply grateful to Su Wanrong.
In a private meeting, Liu Cui expressed her gratitude to Su Wanrong: "Sister Wanrong, if it weren't for your timely help, I don't know how much suffering I would have endured. Your medical skills are truly admirable."
Su Wanrong smiled and responded, "Liu Cui, we are all sisters under the same roof, so helping each other is only natural. Your recovery is the best reward for me."
This incident not only greatly enhanced Su Wanrong's image in Liu Cui's heart, but also further solidified her position in the palace. Su Wanrong's medical skills and compassion have earned her increasing trust and respect from more and more concubines.
In the palace of the Zhou Dynasty, a grand palace banquet is being prepared.
Su Wanrong realized that this was an excellent opportunity. She planned to use this banquet to cleverly reconcile the conflicts between the powerful concubines in the harem, further solidifying her leadership position.
On the day of the palace banquet, Su Wanrong wore a gorgeous palace dress, exuding grace and charm. She was not only the host of the banquet but also the center of attention. During the preparation for the banquet, she deliberately arranged a small theater performance with the purpose of reconciling the relationship between Lin Zhi Ruo and Chu Ningning, two influential concubines.
During the banquet, Su Wanrong deliberately arranged Lin Zhi Ruo and Chu Ningning to sit next to each other and designed a topic for them to discuss, which was about the planting and care of flowers in the palace.
"Lin Yonghua, Han Huoe, both of you are flower enthusiasts. What are your thoughts on the rare flowers recently introduced into the palace?" Su Wanrong asked with a smile.
Lin Zhi Ruo and Chu Ningning originally had some grievances due to the power struggle in the palace, but when faced with Su Wanrong's question, they both expressed their own views. During the discussion, they discovered that they had a lot in common in their love and knowledge of flowers, and gradually, the originally tense atmosphere became more relaxed.
As the conversation deepened, their impressions of each other gradually changed. By the end of the banquet, Lin Zhi Ruo and Chu Ningning even agreed to visit the palace gardens together in the future for flower exchange.
Su Wanrong saw that her strategy was successful and felt secretly satisfied. Her wisdom not only resolved the conflicts between the two influential concubines, but also deepened her influence in their hearts.
After the meeting, Consort Sun privately found Su Wanrong and said with a smile, "Sister Wanrong, tonight's banquet was truly wonderful. You are not only an outstanding host, but also a skilled mediator."
Su Wanrong responded, " Consort Sun sister, harmony in the harem is the most important. We are all working for the stability of the royal family and the future of the country. It is our responsibility to work together."
This banquet not only strengthened Su Wanrong's leadership position in the harem, but also successfully rebalanced the power structure, showcasing her abilities.
