Before the palace banquet began, Su Wanti washed and dressed in Yaoguang Palace.
She is now the Imperial Noble Consort, the head of all concubines, and can no longer dress as simply as before.
She must dress luxuriously and elegantly to suit her current status.
Su Yue and Chun Tao held the gorgeous clothes and golden crown that she was going to wear this time, and An Xun dressed Su Wanti.
She was wearing a golden wide-sleeved pomegranate skirt, embroidered with flowers in gold thread and auspicious clouds in silver thread, which was dazzling.
On the arm is a soft golden gauze, mixed with fine threads twisted from pure gold, which glitters and shines under the light, which is extremely beautiful.
The golden crown is a five-phoenix rising sun crown made of pure gold, which is exquisite and gorgeous.
This outfit makes Su Wanti look like a fairy from heaven.
Su Yue and the others were stunned. At this moment, applause rang out, and then Emperor Xiao Ping's voice came into their ears.
"My daughter is truly stunningly beautiful. Even with heavy makeup, she looks stunning. No one in the world can rival you."
"Greetings, Your Majesty." When Su Yue and others saw Emperor Xiao Ping coming, they bowed and withdrew.
Only Emperor Xiao Ping and Su Wanti were left in the inner room.
Su Wanti rarely dressed so extravagantly and gorgeously. She looked at herself in the mirror, feeling satisfied.
However, she still felt shy when she heard Emperor Xiao Ping's praise.
Then, as if she remembered something, she raised her little face, squinted her eyes, and said in a delicate voice:
"Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment. I am already a mother of two children, and my beauty is fading. I cannot compare to the beauty of my younger sister."
Having said that, he turned away.
Emperor Xiao Ping smiled and said, "My Wan'er is so adorable when she gets jealous. Wan'er, don't worry, you are the only one in my heart, and you are the only woman by my side. The princess sent by the foreign tribe the other day, I have already granted her to Prince Bei as his wife."
Ever since Su Wanti gave birth to the princess, the rumors that Emperor Xiao Ping was infertile were self-defeating. Various forces inside and outside the court found ways to send women to Emperor Xiao Ping, even more than before.
However, Emperor Xiao Ping did not confiscate any of them. He directly arranged marriages for these women and betrothed them to good men from the royal family, which was considered a good thing.
Su Wanti then smiled, the corners of her mouth curled up, she turned around and sat in front of the dressing table, picked up the jade bracelet from the makeup box, and was about to put it on, but suddenly she didn't hold it firmly, and the bracelet fell to the ground, making a crisp sound and breaking into two pieces.
"Your Majesty..." Su Wanti's heart tightened and she felt uneasy. She looked at Emperor Xiao Ping with her watery almond eyes with a hint of worry.
Emperor Xiao Ping looked at the broken bracelet on the ground, pursed his lips slightly, and then smiled.
She took out another jade bracelet from the makeup box and put it on Su Wanti's slender wrist.
He gently held Su Wanti in his arms, kissed her forehead, and spoke in a low and steady voice.
"Don't think too much, Wan'er. This is just an accident. Besides, I'm here. I said I will protect you for the rest of my life."
