"Hua Xia, the Emperor said that we will be good teachers and friends from now on. He gave me the jade chess pieces to emphasize this meaning. We can recite poems, play chess, and teach and answer questions."
The only thing missing is love between men and women.
"Your Majesty, this shows that you and the Emperor are in love, and the relationship based on this is even better."
Sheng Xiyan turned around, unable to speak. This was the result she wanted after crying and making a fuss.
But why does my heart feel so sour like unripe grapes, and the sour taste goes straight to the heart.
On this day, all the concubines in Jingren Palace came to pay their respects.
"Chen Zhaoyi is so arrogant! How many days has it been since she came to pay her respects to the Empress?"
Concubine Jia asked sarcastically.
Empress Duan smiled and said, "She asked me for leave. I think there is a reason for that."
After the concubines knelt to greet him, Qingdai served them breakfast:
"Your Majesty, it's rather audacious of Consort Chen to ask for leave every day."
Queen Duan drank the ginseng and rice porridge and said with a smile:
"She feels uncomfortable, which is normal. I can completely understand. How could I punish her?"
Indigo mixed with corn and yam rolls was placed on a jade plate.
"Lanxi has been accompanying the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace for many days and hasn't been driven back by the Emperor. She must have won His Majesty's favor, but there's no news of her being canonized yet."
"In the past ten days, the emperor has not turned over the green card, which is enough to prove that it is because Lanxi is by his side."
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense."
Two days later, it was the "Jindongtian" Bamboo Tube Flower Arrangement Festival in the palace.
Early in the morning, in the main hall of Guanju Palace.
Hua Xia pulled Sheng Xiyan up and said, "Your Majesty, the palace is very busy today. Get up quickly and let the servants help you wash and dress."
Meixiang and Shanhu brought in a golden basin and other toiletries.
Shanhu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Bamboo Tube Camellia Festival is so beautiful. Bamboo tubes are used as containers, filled with various flowers, and then hung or wall-mounted. The Emperor will select the best flower tube. Last year's reward seemed to be a set of twelve zodiac jade ornaments."
"Hey, I don't want to go. You guys go watch the fun."
Sheng Xiyan has been very fond of sleeping recently. She spends half of her time in bed and doesn't let anyone in. When she wakes up the next morning, her eyes are swollen like two small peaches.
"Go ahead, go ahead. With your aesthetic sense, you will definitely come out on top and win the reward."
Hua Xia and Mei Xiang both thought that they must drag her to the banquet so that she could meet the emperor, and maybe she would feel better.
The pair of eyes in the bronze mirror were swollen and the eye sockets were dark blue. Sheng Xiyan touched his face and wondered if this was a human or a ghost?
She let herself be dressed up reluctantly.
"Your Majesty, please be more courageous. You once said that to be an ambitious concubine, you must compete for favor and even be favored exclusively, right?"
Sheng Xiyan put her hands into the rose water and soaked them.
"Hua Xia, do I still need to make progress? I have everything, including pearls and jade, silks and satins, abalone and sea cucumbers, and am good friends with the Emperor. I'm already living the life of the highest order."
"What about your position? There's still room for advancement."
"Never mind, after all..."
After all, I haven't made any contribution, so this position is pretty good now.
In the Yijing Garden of the Imperial Palace, wine cups flow along the winding stream and fairy mist lingers.
There was a large tree stump table by the stream. Sheng Xiyan and Gao Shurong greeted each other and sat cross-legged on the mats.
Today's seat is right opposite the pavilion.
"Sister Min, let's switch seats. You'll definitely be the best if you sit here."
Concubine Min came over with a smile, "You're welcome, sister. I didn't change it for anything else."
Sheng Xiyan walked to the back and sat down in an inconspicuous seat.
I saw a beauty behind me, with a long neck and a pretty face.
"Sister Lin, who is that person in the green dress?"
"Oh, it's Poppy. She was sick and didn't go out much before."
Sheng Xiyan looked around and was amazed. All the women of her good friends were so graceful and charming. Today they were all dressed up like seven fairies descending to earth, exquisite, noble and charming.
Good friends are very lucky.
As my good friend is busy with state affairs,
Every seven days, two concubines were selected to sleep with him.
That’s eight concubines in one month.
That’s ninety-six times a year.
The probability of having a prince or princess is about 30%, so thirty babies can be produced in a year?
She is indeed not the only one left.
It’s great that a good friend is good at arithmetic.
"The Emperor has arrived! The Empress Dowager has arrived! The Empress has arrived!"
Xuan Ling was wearing a lake-colored sesame-colored gauze robe with a cloud dragon pattern, her hair tied up with an eight-dragon purple jade crown, and holding a folding fan. Behind her followed two young eunuchs holding a zither and books, and a group of attendants. They were walking across the curved bridge in a grand manner.
Among them, the female medical officer with red skin had a slim figure, and Sheng Xiyan saw her from a distance.
This is a painting of a relaxing summer day by a good friend. It is quite beautiful.
