Chapter 100 Preparing for the Longevity Festival

In the afternoon, Noble Lady Bai came over specifically to express her gratitude.

Xu Lanshan smiled and said, "Sister Bai, you don't have to be polite. We can't talk about this between us."

Lady Bai smiled gently, "I still have to thank you. My sister finally solved my urgent problem!"

Emperor Yuanyong did not come that day, but he specially sent someone to give two dishes at dinner. Xu Lanshan felt warm in her heart and actually missed this person a little.

But I also know that this person just came yesterday, and if he comes again today, it will be too conspicuous.

Although she is no longer afraid, it may be better to have less trouble.

Emperor Yuan Yong seemed to be afraid that she was overthinking it, so he sent someone to tell her that he would come to see her tomorrow.

The next day, before noon, Emperor Yuan Yong arrived, but his arrival was a bit inappropriate. Concubine Feng was also there.

As soon as Xu Lanshan saw Emperor Yuan Yong, her eyes lit up and she looked at him pitifully, asking for help.

Concubine Feng's eyes also lit up, and she happily stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!"

Emperor Yuan Yong only knew that Xu Lanshan had a good relationship with Concubine Bai. Seeing Xu Lanshan's look, it was clear to him that he understood and laughed to himself.

Why is Concubine Feng so disliked by her?

But to be honest, he didn't like the look in Concubine Feng's eyes.

Emperor Yuan Yong sat down and glanced at Concubine Feng. "I have something to discuss with Concubine Chen. Concubine Feng, please kneel down and pay your respects."

Just as she was trying to think of something flattering to say to please the Emperor, to make him remember her and regain his interest in her, Concubine Feng's face froze. She forced a smile and said, "Yes, I will come to talk to Sister Chen another day and will not disturb the Emperor!"

Xu Lanshan smiled and said, "If Concubine Feng is free, why not go and visit one of the other sisters' palaces? I think the sisters are all looking forward to someone to talk to and relieve their boredom! I haven't been very energetic recently, and I have other things to do, so I won't entertain Concubine Feng."

Concubine Feng was suddenly embarrassed and couldn't help but look at Emperor Yuan Yong with a hint of accusation in her eyes.

Emperor Yuan Yong became more and more disgusted when he saw this. On the one hand, he tried to please Lan'er, and on the other hand, he was always looking for opportunities to step on her. How did she do it?

"Did Concubine Feng hear that? Go ahead!"

"Yes, I'll take my leave..."

Concubine Feng was so embarrassed that she tried hard not to show any embarrassment and quickly retreated.

Ju Shuang supported her own master and could not help but mutter angrily: "Mrs. Chen's temper is getting worse and worse. She doesn't give the master any face at all! No wonder Concubine Lian doesn't like her so much. Who can like someone like her? My lord, I think she is afraid of you and will never say anything good for you in front of the emperor. You don't have to associate with her in the future. No wonder she is nice to Mr. Bai. It's because she likes Mr. Bai's honesty..."

Concubine Feng had been favored for a while, and the emperor had even praised her gentleness and quietness, which made her even more gentle and quiet. However, since some time, the emperor had gradually become less fond of her...

Once upon a time, Ju Shuang was also very prosperous.

What no one knew was that Ju Shuang had an impression of Xu Lanshan. Back then, as the favored maidservant to Concubine Feng, she was greeted with smiles and greetings of "Sister Ju Shuang" and "Miss Ju Shuang" wherever she went. At that time, Xu Lanshan was still a young maid in charge of cleaning the imperial gardens, the kind who wouldn't even dare to look up when she saw her.

But now, she, the high-ranking palace maid who had once risen to prominence, is no longer as glorious as she used to be, while Xu Lanshan, the little palace maid who only cleaned the palace, has become the noble lady of Chen, who is even more glorious than her master. The jealousy in Ju Shuang's heart is a little subtle.

There was no reason, she just hoped that Xu Lanshan would be in trouble.

Concubine Feng scolded Ju Shuang: "Stop talking!"

But she had given up hope. Noble Lady Chen would not help her. She had to find another way...

Xu Lanshan's "physique" was indeed extraordinary. After a few days, the scars disappeared completely. When Emperor Yuanyong arrived at Cuiyinxuan that day, Xu Lanshan began to act hesitantly, intentionally or unintentionally, and seductively, hinting in various ways that she wanted to sleep with him.

Emperor Yuan Yong was so teased by her that he finally gritted his teeth and pushed her away, "Stop it, Lan'er hasn't recovered yet, don't do anything rash!"

He was furious, he wanted to do it, but it was not the right time.

Xu Lanshan was somewhat touched. The emperor was quite thoughtful in doing this and was not a scumbag. After all, he took her health into consideration.

But she knew very well what her physical condition was like.

"Your Majesty, I am truly fine! I am truly healed. I would never joke with my own body. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, why not try it?"

Emperor Yuan Yong was at a loss for words: "Lan'er, you can't try this!"

"No, I will try, Your Majesty!"

“…”

Emperor Yuan Yong was pestered by her and was furious. Finally, he could no longer bear it and ended up firing a gun.

The result of trying it is that you will become addicted to it and it will spread like wildfire.

Emperor Yuan Yong was very satisfied and was very happy when he left the next day. He wanted to issue an imperial decree to promote her immediately, but he held back because he thought about his own birthday was approaching.

When word spread throughout the harem that Xu Lanshan would still perform on the Wanshou Festival, all the concubines were eager to see the show. The closer the Wanshou Festival got, the more rumors spread.

I originally thought that Xu Lanshan had not fully recovered, but seeing that she had already served the emperor in bed twice, I felt jealous. Concubine Chen is really working hard!

In order to welcome the Wanshou Festival, the palace began to be decorated, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere. Beautiful, exquisite and huge palace lanterns of various types were hung in various palaces, and the roadsides were filled with pots of blooming flowers cultivated by the Flower Bureau.

Many branches were also tied with beautiful silk flowers, which made them look very beautiful.

The palaces where the concubines lived were also newly decorated. In the more elaborate ones, even the curtains, drapes, cushions, pillows, decorations, tea sets, etc. were all replaced. They only hoped that if the emperor came to see them, he would be very pleased.

Xu Lanshan naturally did not want to be outdone, and also redecorated Cuiyinxuan.

As a favorite concubine, how could I not behave well at this time?

The palace lanterns hanging and the potted flowers placed in her palace were all among the priority supplies, making the entire Cuiyinxuan even more magnificent and colorful.

A few days before the Wanshou Festival, Xu Lanshan went to the Shengping Office, but was told that the carefully prepared main props were broken and it was too late to repair them!

It was a huge lotus that was made according to the drawings and requirements given by Xu Lanshan, taking a lot of time and effort.

This lotus is exquisitely made and lifelike. It will be slowly pushed to the front of the emperor's throne by the dancers accompanied by beautiful music. As the music plays, the petals will slowly bloom layer by layer. Xu Lanshan, who has been in the lotus beforehand, will slowly appear in a gorgeous dance costume and dance slowly on the lotus platform, which is bound to be stunning.
