Chapter 407: The Stunning Flower Demon in the Palace Fighting Novel (20)
For half a month, Xiao Yan stayed in Changle Palace every night.
They never mentioned again the matter of hiring a nanny to teach Su Yu the rules. The two of them tacitly let the matter go and no one mentioned it again.
Su Yu gently stroked her petals, the marks left by the thunderbolt were so faint that they were almost invisible.
Tomorrow is the birthday party.
In the Purple Palace, Xiao Yan had someone place the flower in front of the window: "Take good care of it. If a petal falls off, I will take your head."
For the emperor’s birthday, gifts must naturally be carefully prepared.
Looking at the list of gifts sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all of them are precious and rare items. Even if one cannot afford precious items, one can give an embroidery with excellent meaning like the Hundred Longevity Picture.
"Who else would be so perfunctory as her and just give a pot of flowers that can be found everywhere?" Xiao Yan said sarcastically.
Fu An had already figured out his thoughts and said with a smile, "There are so many precious gifts, but Your Majesty only put the ones sent by Empress Su in the palace. Your Majesty is so good to Empress Su. If Empress Su knew about this, she would be so moved that she would cry."
Sure enough, Xiao Yan's lips curled up, and he was very pleased.
Xue Chuyue breathed a sigh of relief after finishing embroidering the Hundred Longevity Picture before the Wanshou Festival.
"Tomorrow is the Emperor's Birthday. His Majesty will host a banquet for all the ministers in Hanyuan Hall. I heard from the old people in the palace that it will be very lively." Qiuyu combed Xue Chuyue's hair.
Xue Chuyue was a merchant's daughter and had never had to worry about food and clothing since she was a child, but when it came to palace banquets, that was definitely something she had never seen before.
"Your Majesty is considerate and allows the concubines in the harem to attend the palace banquet. We will see it tomorrow." Xue Chuyue was also looking forward to it.
After being in the palace for so long and staying within these palace walls day after day, finally something interesting happened.
Suddenly, Dongxue walked in with a serious expression.
Xue Chuyue keenly noticed something was wrong and asked her, "What happened?"
Dongxue knelt on the ground and said, "My lady, the Madam wants to give the second young lady to the second son of Duke Shen as a concubine."
Xue Chuyue's heart skipped a beat and everything went dark before her eyes.
Everyone in the capital knows what kind of person the second son of Duke Shen is. He is a frequent visitor to brothels and has more concubines in his mansion than you can count on one hand, not to mention being his concubine. It's a hell of a place.
…
The palace banquet was held in Hanyuan Hall.
Su Yu woke up early in the morning, quietly put her body back, and was in a very excited mood.
The maid teased, "Your Majesty is celebrating his birthday, why is your Majesty so happy?"
Su Yu had always been tolerant towards the eunuchs and maids in the palace, which made them dare to joke with her.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Of course I am happy."
It is now Chenshi, and the countdown to leaving the palace has begun.
"Your Majesty is so kind to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty knew what Your Majesty was thinking, he would definitely be happy."
The palace maid brought clothes and helped Su Yu change into them.
Staring at the purple palace dress, Su Yu frowned. She didn't like the color very much.
"Change it."
The maid was embarrassed: "This was sent by Eunuch Fu'an, who said that His Majesty specially selected it for the Queen, hoping that the Queen could wear it at the palace banquet."
Everyone could see what His Majesty meant.
Xiangse, which is light yellow, is very suitable for Xiao Yan's bright yellow robe.
Su Yu was still unwilling and said willfully: "I like red."
The color of the petals is so beautiful, no one would dislike red.
The palace maid couldn't persuade Su Yu, so she had to change her dress into a red, almost crimson color. If we were to say who in the harem was the most suitable to wear red clothes, it would be Empress Su.
This matter was reported back to Xiao Yan, who pinched his brows and said, "Forget it, let her be."
Don't know the value of something.
The banquet was held in the afternoon, but from noon onwards, the Hanyuan Hall gradually became lively.
Familiar ladies and girls greeted each other and talked about the interesting things that happened recently.
Before Xiao Yan arrived, the atmosphere in the hall was relatively relaxed, and the person who was talked about the most was Su Yu.
From a second-class tea-serving palace maid, she climbed to the position of the emperor's favorite concubine, favored every night and in the emperor's favor. This matter itself is extremely legendary.
And the person involved at this moment... lives up to the title of the favored concubine.
"Your Majesty, I will not be gossiped about you and me when we appear together, right?" Su Yu leaned against Xiao Yan and chatted, "It's okay to gossip about me, but I can't bear to see those people impeaching Your Majesty. I must be very distressed."
Xiao Yan glanced at her: "Will you feel sorry for me?"
Su Yu lay in Xiao Yan's arms, trying to absorb more dragon energy before leaving, as she would not be able to absorb it in the future.
"Why not?"
Su Yu thanked him sincerely: "Your Majesty is so kind to me. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I would still be a tea-serving maid, serving people in the palace. How could I have so many beautiful clothes to wear and so many people to serve me? Your Majesty's kindness to me, I will always remember it in my heart."
Thank you for your generous dragon energy, we will meet again if we are lucky!
Su Yu said silently in her heart.
Xiao Yan snorted and laughed: "You have some conscience."
"Your Majesty has arrived—"
"The Queen Mother has arrived—"
"The Imperial Concubine has arrived—"
"The Sumerians are coming—"
Messages were passed one after another, and everyone in the hall quickly stood up and saluted.
"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty. Your Majesty, long live your Majesty. Your Majesty, long live your Majesty. Your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
This Lady Su must be the favored concubine they were talking about just now. She is truly favored, as she can appear together with His Majesty and the Queen Mother at such an important palace banquet.
The concubines were equally surprised.
No wonder they have been sitting for such a long time without seeing Su Yu. It turns out that she is with His Majesty, planning to appear with His Majesty. She is indeed very scheming.
The three concubines of Zheng Xuanshi who had been under house arrest were also granted grace and were able to attend the palace banquet.
The three of them gritted their teeth as they looked at the bright red figure. They were clearly disgusted, but they had no choice but to kneel down and salute. They felt extremely angry.
Xiao Yan sat down at the highest point and said calmly, "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty—"
A seat was arranged for Su Yu in the hall.
But Xiao Yan did not let her go over, but asked her to sit with him at the top seat.
If they had not had some common sense and asked someone to add a shorter stool next to them, so that Su Yu could be their companion, who knows what they would have been said about in the impeachment memorial the next day.
Even so, many ministers frowned.
Su Yu, dressed in bright red, snuggled up to Xiao Yan, eating his food and patiently waiting for the assassination in the original plot.
Unfortunately, the songs and dances changed one after another, and everyone lost their initial enthusiasm and became drowsy, and the wait was not over yet.
Su Yu quietly raised her eyes to glance at the little golden dragon. It was bigger than before and had the majestic aura of an adult golden dragon. She unconsciously moved closer to it.
"Your Majesty, if one day I am no longer here, please forget me."
Xiao Yan thought she was drunk and took away the wine from her hand: "Don't talk nonsense. If you are drunk, let the palace maid help you down to rest."
