One morning.
Carriages began to arrive one after another towards the palace gate.
Since Yang Zhaoyin lived in the "Eastern Palace", she didn't have to prepare a lot of things early in the morning. After she woke up, she had a leisurely breakfast, and then asked someone to help her dress up.
"This powder doesn't seem to be able to be applied..."
A palace maid who was putting makeup on Yang Zhao was confused when she saw the powder falling off her face. She tried several times before she spoke in horror.
Yang Zhao smiled faintly and waved his hands: "No problem, just leave it at that. Just comb this princess' hair into a bun."
The palace maids looked at each other in confusion.
You can see the incredibleness in your eyes.
They were the palace maids who were specially sent today to dress up Yang Zhao. Before coming, they had already prepared themselves mentally for being beaten and scolded by Princess Yu or having their faces scratched, and they were trembling with fear the whole time.
But now Princess Yu is so good-tempered?
This made them a little flattered, but they did not dare to take it lightly. A dexterous palace maid quickly made a beautiful bun for Yang Zhao, and then selected a set of golden headdresses and prepared to use them.
Yang Zhao stopped him: "Use this."
She held out a hairpin that looked like wood.
The palace maids were all stunned.
He stared at the hairpin for a long time without reacting.
"no?"
"OK."
How could the palace maid dare to say no? She hurriedly took it with both hands and then carefully inserted it into her bun. Yang Zhao reached out and touched it, then nodded in satisfaction. It could be easily pulled out when needed.
But today's banquet is important, and Yang Zhao can't just use one hairpin.
Later, the palace maids were asked to match some other headdresses and other jewelry. It’s amazing that the palace maids were very skillful.
Although Yang Zhao had no makeup on.
But she has fair skin and beautiful looks, and with the specially matched accessories, she looks more noble and majestic, which is in line with her "female" identity.
Mo Junran would also be attending the event with her today, so he made sure to wear clothes from the same color series as her. Finally, when he saw the hairpin on her bun, he even took out a similar one from somewhere and inserted it into her hair crown.
Wait until the two of them stand together.
There really is a sense of...a match made in heaven.
People who don’t know them would really think that they are a real couple because they look so well-matched.
Before the banquet begins.
The two arrived early.
"Who are those two? They're really good-looking. I don't think I've seen that lady at any banquet before!"
"Look, isn't that lady wearing any rouge on her face?"
"She must have used rouge, otherwise how could her skin be so white and glowing! Look at her skin, it looks like a peeled egg, so tender. If she didn't use rouge, it's impossible to have such beautiful skin..."
"Oh my God, that rouge is so amazing. I have to ask where she bought it. I'll ask my servants to buy some back later..." Some ladies could no longer control themselves and were about to go forward.
At this time.
A sudden voice rang out among the ladies: "That is Princess Yu."
Everyone was stunned.
"Princess Yu?"
"That's Princess Yu?"
The ladies' eyes widened in shock, and they subconsciously looked at the figure in the purple dress who was approaching.
Almost all the officials and their wives were present at the banquet.
It was of a different level from the last welcoming banquet, so many people present did not recognize Yang Zhao.
"Princess Yu looks like this? Why does she still want to..." He likes to scratch people's faces.
Many people believed that Princess Yu was jealous of pretty women and liked to paint people's faces because she was extremely ugly. It was also because she was ugly that she liked handsome men and did those ridiculous things like robbing handsome men.
But now...
With Princess Yu's beauty, who here can compare to her?
Moreover, with her looks, any man who sees her would flock to her and rush to her door, so why would she have to snatch her away!!!
Of course.
When many ladies learned about the "Princess Jade", they were terrified and immediately hid back, or even avoided her from afar.
Yang Zhao didn't mind.
This time she walked past them like a queen, across the long hall, and then, in full view of everyone, she stepped onto the stairs and sat on the right side of the dragon throne.
The right is respected in Qi State.
Generally speaking, the emperor sits next to the empress, and below her sits the prince.
But the former queen died long ago.
There is no queen in the harem so far, so there is no seat next to the dragon throne, only one seat on the right side of the dragon throne.
In the past.
That position was given to the 'eldest prince' Qi Xue.
At this time, Yang Zhao sat down directly. The eunuchs serving around him not only did not stop him, but were very respectful and added another chair next to Yang Zhao for Mo Junran to sit on.
"That's the little official male favorite beside Princess Yu? How is he qualified to sit in that position?"
"That's right, it's ridiculous."
"Shh, shut up if you don't want to die!"
"That's Princess Yu. The people around her are naturally different..."
"How is it different? Even if he is favored, it can't change his status as a lowly official. Even if Princess Yu is favored, she can't disregard the laws of the court. Moreover, she is just a woman, and she actually sat directly on the throne of the prince. It's really..."
"Shh!"
"Stop talking, don't kill us."
"I heard that at this birthday banquet, His Majesty will appoint a crown prince, and Princess Yu will probably be the next crown prince..."
"What? Isn't this ridiculous?"
"That's right. How can a woman become emperor? Isn't that destroying her own foundation?"
"This is absolutely ridiculous..."
The officials below were all whispering about various things, each with a different expression, and their eyes would occasionally look up at Yang Zhao who was in the upper position.
Yang Zhao, however, sat in his seat calmly.
Under the gaze of everyone, she would touch her bulging belly from time to time, and open her red lips from time to time to eat the food given by the man next to her. Her attitude was really "arrogant".
It makes many people feel jealous.
"The Emperor has arrived—"
Not long.
Emperor Huichen finally appeared.
Today his complexion was a little more rosy, as if he was in high spirits on a happy occasion. He wore a dragon robe and walked into the hall with the help of an enchanting woman, looking energetic.
"Your Highness, we pay our respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
Everyone in the hall stood up and knelt and shouted.
The sound was so loud that it reverberated throughout the spacious hall, bringing with it an echo.
The foreign envoys following behind Emperor Huichen couldn't help but pause, and only after Emperor Huichen sat on the dragon throne did the envoys step forward one by one to pay their respects.
And those walking in the front were people from the Mo Dynasty.
"Qi, Duke Yang of Qi?"
