(Not Double Clean) Transmigrated into the Qing Dynasty and became concubine Xu, favored by Emperor Kangxi. Xu Lejin was shocked. She had lived for fifty years with only one man, and now her reputat...
"Your Highness, I have already instructed the Imperial Household Department to make proper arrangements for the investiture ceremonies of Consort Ning, Consort De, and Consort Jin, as you instructed."
"However, the Imperial Household Department has to rush to produce the auspicious robes for Consort Ning, Consort De, Consort Jin, and four other consorts, and they are working day and night these days."
"Two of the embroiderers have fallen ill due to exhaustion from working day and night."
After a pause, Consort Hui looked at Consorts Xin, Qi, and Xin, who were ranked among the concubines, and then said, "The Imperial Household Department's embroidery workshop has already prepared the auspicious robes for Consort Ning, Consort De, and Consort Jin. Seven days remain..."
"If we want to make the auspicious clothes for Consort Xin, Consort Qi, and Consort Xin within seven days, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish."
Xu Lejin frowned and remained silent.
Consort Que and Consort Duan exchanged a glance, wondering to themselves what Consort Hui was up to.
Consort De and Consort Jin tilted their heads slightly, their faces filled with schadenfreude.
Consort Xin, Consort Qi, and Consort Xin exchanged a glance, a look of embarrassment flashing across their faces.
Consort Ning hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly, "Your Highness, Consort Xin, Consort Qi, and Consort Xin, along with Consort De and Consort Jin, are to be conferred the title of Consort. Consort De and Consort Jin's auspicious robes are already completed. It would be inappropriate if Consort Xin, Consort Qi, or Consort Xin's robes were not finished."
"Your Majesty, if the Imperial Household Department cannot produce all the auspicious robes in time, then we should think of a compromise. The same applies to Consort De and Consort Jin; like Consort Xin, Consort Qi, and Consort Xin, they will all borrow auspicious robes to wear on the day of their investiture."
Xu Lejin nodded upon hearing this.
Consort De and Consort Jin's expressions instantly turned ugly, while Consort Hui's eyes quickly flashed with unease as she turned her head away, feeling guilty and unable to meet the gazes of Consort De and Consort Jin.
