On the full moon banquet for her child, the devastating news arrived that her husband had died on the battlefield. Sheng Xiyan fell into the abyss.
The prince's mansion bullied the orphan...
Sheng Xiyan woke up at four o'clock the next morning.
Hua Xia and Mei Xiang were surprised. Why did our queen wake up so early?
"My lady, it's still early, would you like to sleep a little longer?"
"Please wash and dress me. I need to go and pay my respects to the whole palace."
Although her eyes looked black, it was a good thing that she could cheer up.
Several palace maids happily helped her wash, apply facial cream, and do her makeup.
"My Lady, the Jade Red Cream you made is truly wonderful. My face looks much more rosy after I applied it on it."
Hua Xia wiped the facial fat with a hot and wet handkerchief, revealing a face as delicate as a baby's, with skin as white as cream.
Sheng Xiyan blinked her eyes. It is said that a woman must be in a good mood. But in just a few days, the light in Shui Yingying's eyes had gone.
Sifu, since the spy found her, she would join the game herself.
After combing your hair, choose the hairpins and jewelry to wear.
"The moth-pushing flower crown that the emperor gave me."
Once this flower crown is worn, it adds a touch of charming and pretty charm to the golden and jade-like appearance.
"Your Majesty, when you wear this tiara, you look like a young girl who has just come of age. The Emperor is so talented. The design is so beautiful."
"The Emperor treats our queen like a princess and dotes on her."
Sheng Xiyan smiled. This dragon was really amazing when it was kind, but it was also really scary when it was violent.
The beauty is good at making plans and can win the king's favor.
We women must never give up on ourselves.
Sheng Xiyan was determined not only to rescue Qi Yan, but also to not lose Xuan Ling's favor.
Picking up the agarwood Buddhist beads, I couldn't help but miss the dignified and elegant emperor when I first met him.
His eyes were deep, with a slight smile in his majesty.
At that time, I never thought he could be so crazy.
Wear agarwood Buddhist beads on the left wrist and jade Buddhist beads on the right wrist.
A peony jade necklace hung around her neck.
The imperial green ring on the ring finger of the right hand is the finishing touch.
Hua Xia was shocked. In the past, whenever our queen went to pay respects to the whole palace, she would always keep a low profile and even wanted to take off the hairpins on her head. What happened this time?
"I'm wearing the jeweled Shu brocade Dengyun shoes that the Decoration Bureau sent me when I was crowned as a concubine.
Wear a dress..."
Sheng Xiyan went to the wardrobe and picked out a shimmering dress.
The long skirt is high between the chest and sways to the ground.
The long sleeves flutter and the layers of ribbons are quite gorgeous, luxurious, graceful and elegant.
"This is the flowing colorful dress made for the Queen's birthday. It's so beautiful!"
Sheng Xiyan touched her slender waist which had lost an inch recently due to worry, making the dress look even more ethereal.
This is probably the only gain I have made recently.
The ceremonial procession boarded the stage at dawn.
It was already bright at dawn in the autumn. The orange cat and the birds were nestling by the red wall, waiting for the sun to shine.
The palace maids walking around couldn't help but look up at Empress Chenfei, who had not gone out for many days.
This doesn't look like a poor guy defeated by life.
The aura of a favorite concubine.
In Jingren Palace, the concubines are already in place.
Only Queen Duan has not come out yet.
Sheng Xiyan walked in slowly with Hua Xia, and everyone was stunned.
Why did this young widow run away?
Isn't it because of her deceased ex-husband that she is desperate?
Sheng Xiyan raised her peach blossom eyes and asked proudly and charmingly:
"Why, I haven't been here for a few days, and none of you sisters recognize me anymore?
Gao Zhaorong and Lin Jieyu were overjoyed and stepped forward to praise her, saying, "Sister Sheng, it's great that you've figured it out. This dress is so beautiful."
"The Taizhen Ruby Cream you gave us yesterday is really good. Do you think my face is rosy and fair too?"
When the concubines heard this, they hurried forward.
"Taizhen Hongyu Cream? Does the Concubine Chen know how to make it? Could you make me a box? I'll pay for it."
Sheng Xiyan gently waved the Qilin feather fan and said with a smile: "Sure, I will make it for you when I have free time."
When I walked to the front, I found that Concubine Jia was in solitary confinement and didn't come, and Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu were sitting on both sides with cold eyes.
Sheng Xiyan walked up to Concubine Liang and said with a smile, "Sister Concubine Liang, shouldn't you give this seat to me?"
Concubine Liang looked her up and down, and said:
"Great! You are now the Concubine Chen, the leader of the four concubines, er, no, the leader of the five concubines. This position belongs to you!
But, I have a problem, that is, I don’t want to get up after sitting down, sister Chen Fei, what do you think I should do?
The war is about to break out.
Sheng Xiyan was neither angry nor upset. She stood in front of Concubine Liang with a faint smile, determined to be the first one in the front.
Empress Duan came out from the inner hall holding Qingdai's hand.
He was quite surprised to see Sheng Xiyan, and even more surprised by her flamboyant outfit today.
"Your Highness the Queen, I pay my respects to her. May you be blessed with good health."
Empress Duan smiled and said, "It's been a while since Consort Chen came. You seem to have recovered well. Please take a seat."
Sheng Xiyan said in embarrassment: "Empress, I have let my sister, Concubine Liang, take my seat."
The elder sister becomes the younger sister, and the name is changed.
The Concubine Chen seemed to have become a different person. She used to be humble.
Empress Duan glanced at Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu, and was about to persuade Sheng Xiyan that they were elders in the palace and should not care about these things.
Sheng Xiyan said aggrievedly:
"Your Majesty, this is my first visit to the palace to pay my respects since I was appointed Consort Chen, but I didn't expect there wouldn't even be a seat. Where should I sit to comply with palace rules?"
Empress Duan was stunned for a moment. If I don’t uphold justice for you, I will become a foolish person who disregards the palace rules. How can I be the master of the six palaces?
"Liang Fei, you must not confuse the difference between high and low in the future. Although Chen Fei is a concubine, her title is noble and she should sit in the first seat."
Concubine Liang stood up and said angrily, "Great! A widow who made no contribution to the country and had no children in the previous dynasty has now become the head of the Five Palaces?"
