Chapter 302: Palace Banquet 1
The emperor and Concubine Yun came in first, followed by the four concubines and some other imperial concubines, as well as two little princesses, who were led by their respective mothers.
The emperor was dressed in a Minghuang dragon robe, looking majestic and domineering. It is true that clothes make the man. The emperor, who was just an ordinary old man, looked completely different after putting on this yellow robe.
Su Yue turned her head to look at Murong Li. She wondered how domineering he would look if he wore it.
Concubine Yun also attended the event in a gorgeous dress today. She had a calm expression, giving people a feeling of being cold and detached, as if she were not of this worldly origin. When the emperor held her hand, her expression could not be seen.
But Su Yue could see from her eyes that she disliked, even hated.
As for what she dislikes and what she hates, no one knows.
When her eyes passed over Su Yue, there was clearly a hint of hatred in them.
Su Yue curled her lips, not caring at all, but she looked at the emperor's women curiously. Only today did she know that the emperor's harem had such a large lineup.
It's a pity that there are only two sons left.
The emperor had not seen such a scene for a long time. He waved his hand and said, "My dear ministers, your life is in vain."
The crowd of voices echoed in the hall again: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone stood up, but they didn't dare to sit down until the emperor sat down.
After the emperor took a quick look, he took Concubine Yun's hand and sat down. The other concubines were also arranged by palace maids to sit behind the emperor, where there was a row of tables.
The emperor then said, "Please take a seat, all of you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
All talents have returned to their respective positions.
When the emperor saw that everyone was seated, he continued, "Today we are holding this palace banquet to celebrate my beloved concubine's canonization as Imperial Noble Consort, my recovery, and the arrival of my fourth son's wife on the imperial throne."
After the emperor finished speaking, the ministers continued, "I wish the emperor good health, congratulations to the imperial concubine, and congratulations to Princess Li."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, glanced at everyone with his sharp eyes, and when he saw Su Yue, he smiled at her.
Su Yue...
She gave him a smile and then rolled her eyes. In fact, the ceremony of conferring the title of Concubine Yun didn't need to be so grand, and it also delayed her from going to the auction house.
The imperial edict can be read out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The emperor insisted on doing this simply to pave the way for Murong Li. The ministers present knew this very well.
It was only a matter of time before the queen was deposed. After the queen was deposed, the harem was left without a leader, and Concubine Yun naturally took over, and Murong Li became the legitimate son.
Among the candidates for the crown prince, the legitimate son is the first and foremost choice.
Next, the eunuch from the Imperial Household Department read out the imperial edict, and Concubine Yun was officially canonized as Imperial Noble Concubine.
There was an endless stream of congratulations from the audience.
Then Su Yue’s name was engraved on the jade plate even more simply. She simply engraved Su Yue’s name on the royal jade plate, next to Murong Li’s name and below the name of the queen.
It was engraved personally by the emperor's uncle, a dedicated member of the royal family who managed the jade discs. From then on, Su Yue became the daughter-in-law of the royal family.
Once the business is done, the next thing is to eat, drink and watch singing and dancing performances.
Su Yue was bored and wanted to leave early because she was worried about the auction.
She watched the dancers in the hall with boredom. It was simply unbearable to watch. What kind of dance was it? They were like wooden sticks, twisting left and right. There was nothing interesting to watch.
"Yuer, do you want to leave?"
Murong Li saw that her butt felt like it had thorns and she couldn't sit steadily, so he asked her.
Su Yue nodded: "How about you take me out?"
Murong Li glanced at the emperor who was watching with great interest, nodded and said, "Okay, there's nothing else to do next. You go first, and I'll be there soon."
He still has something to do.
"Okay."
The two stood up and walked out quietly. Murong Li directly sent Su Yue out of the palace without asking anyone else to do it.
On the other side, when Murong Yi saw Su Yue and the other two leave, his eyes flashed. He knew that his chance had come. It would be difficult for him to take action with those two around.
He winked at the palace maid beside him, and the palace maid understood and quietly went out. Then she followed the palace maid who served the dishes, added tea and poured water. When she came in front of Su Xue, she pretended to fall accidentally, and the whole plate of food spilled on Su Xue.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The maid apologized repeatedly.
Su Xue looked at the mess on her body and pursed her lips. "It's so wide here, how do you walk? How can I get out of here?"
Su Xue was very angry. The path behind her was clearly wide enough for two people to walk, but this palace maid seemed to be blind and poured the entire plate of food on her.
Who would believe that she didn't do it on purpose?
"That's how you do things."
Madam Su Er glared at the palace maid and immediately took out a handkerchief to help Su Xue wipe it, but the more she wiped, the dirtier it became.
"Mom, stop wiping it. I'll go change it."
Fortunately, Su Yue reminded her to bring an extra set of clothes when entering the palace.
She winked at Xiaoqing beside her, and Xiaoqing immediately asked another palace maid, "Excuse me, where can we change clothes? Can you take us there?"
The maid who had soiled Su Xue's clothes spoke first: "Miss, this is all my fault. I will take you there. They are all busy and have their own work to do."
The other palace maid nodded to Su Xue: "Sister Chunya is right, you can go with her, she will take you there."
Su Xue had no choice but to stand up and follow Chunya.
"Xue'er, Mom will go with you."
Madam Su Er stood up and wanted to follow.
Su Xue waved her hand: "Mother, Xiaoqing is here, it's okay."
"But……"
"Mom, we'll be back soon."
Su Xue didn't want her mother to take risks with her. It was obvious that someone was targeting her.
Mrs. Su Er had no choice but to sit back.
Su Xue and her servant followed Chun Ya out of the hall.
However, as soon as they left the hall, Murong Yi quietly followed them, but he was not the only one who went out. There was also Chen Fanghua. She followed them out when she saw Murong Li leaving the table.
But she didn't know that Murong Li had sent Su Yue out of the palace. She looked for her everywhere but couldn't find her. Just when she was getting anxious, she saw Chunya taking Su Xue to the room she had entered before.
She was just about to follow to see what happened, but she saw Murong Yi coming out as well, so she immediately hid herself.
Then I saw Chen Ying coming out as well.
Chen Fanghua knew that there was a big show to watch.
But she was struggling in her heart about whether to save Su Xue?
Su Xue followed the palace maid to a room, and Chunya said, "Miss, this is a rest room specially prepared for all the ladies."
Su Xue glanced at Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing went in first and checked the room. Seeing nothing unusual, she called out, "Miss, come in."
"good."
"Thank you very much."
Su Xue responded with "Xiao Qing" and thanked Chunya.
"Miss, you are welcome. I will get busy now."
Chunya smiled and then really went towards the main hall.
