Now that Suman's house arrest has been lifted, the concubines must also pay their respects to the queen according to the previous rules.
The next day, Su Man got up early and Tao Yuan combed her hair into a queen's bun. After she put on the pearl flower crown, Su Man felt that her neck was about to collapse.
Holding Taoyuan's hand, Su Man arrived at the main hall of Kunning Palace.
As soon as you enter the door, you will smell the aroma of flowers, willows, and perfume.
Seeing Su Man come in, the concubines all stood up from their seats and saluted in unison, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
Su Man looked around and saw that the women were all beautiful and charming in their own way.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Queen."
Su Man sat on the rosewood chair in the center of the hall, and the concubines below sat on mahogany chairs.
The two people below her, one with a beautiful appearance and always smiling is Concubine Rong.
The other one, who has a gorgeous appearance and a bad look in her eyes, is Concubine Li.
This Concubine Li came from a prominent family. She was appointed Concubine Li upon entering the palace, and was soon promoted to Concubine, and was ordered to assist in the management of the affairs of the six palaces.
Concubine Li is young and favored by the emperor, so Guman naturally can't stand it. At the instigation of Aunt Zhao, he also beat her many times. The two of them are like water and fire.
Concubine Li couldn't stand Guman's daily recitation of poems and couplets in a pretentious tone, and Guman also couldn't stand Concubine Li's inappropriate words and deeds and her domineering behavior.
This is also the scene that Murong Hong wants to see the most. After all, if Concubine Li and Guman are at odds with each other, then the Gu family and Concubine Li's family will also be at odds with each other.
As soon as the concubines sat down, Concubine Li's eyes swept over Su Man, "Your Majesty has been confined for these days and has become much slimmer."
Poking specifically at a person's lung tube like this is something you'd expect from a seasoned palace fighter.
But Su Man did not engage in a verbal battle with her for three hundred rounds like Gu Man usually did. Instead, she smiled and said, "Sister, you are very charming today."
Concubine Li was stunned. "Huh?"
"My sister is dressed in purple, she looks like the goddess of Luo River descended to the earth. When I came in just now, I thought it was the goddess of the nine heavens descended to the earth."
“........”
Concubine Li loved being praised for her beauty the most, and at this moment, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
If someone else had praised her, she would have laughed out loud, but the person who praised her happened to be the queen she hated the most.
The corners of her mouth twitched for a while before finally falling. She coughed twice and said modestly, "Your Majesty, you have good taste. This dress of mine is made of tribute material from the Western Regions. It shines even more brilliantly in the sunlight."
"It's a pity that there is no sunlight in the palace. I can't see my sister's dazzling appearance." Su Man said with regret.
Concubine Li was nonchalant. "That's nothing. I'm going to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. Your Majesty, you can see them with us."
"OK."
Su Man turned to Tao Yuan with a smile and said, "Give my gilded pearl necklace to Concubine Li."
Concubine Li almost laughed out loud. She had long had her eyes on that string of gilded beads, but the emperor gave it to Guman on the pretext that the empress liked it, which made her furious.
Now the queen was actually willing to give up her love, she was so happy that she looked like a fool and said happily, "Thank you, Queen."
Suman smiles.
Sure enough, women in all dynasties like beautiful jewelry.
