Xuan Ling said majestically, "Come here."
Eunuch Fu came in, but it was not time to send Yun Guirong away yet. He saw that Yun Guirong had angered Long Wei.
"Remove Yun Guirong's green badge."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yun Guirong fell to the ground, weeping and apologizing, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, I said something wrong... I will never dare to do it again."
She was carried out of the Yangxin Palace again, crying all the way. After the green card was removed, she was no longer qualified to sleep with the emperor, which was equivalent to being banished to the cold palace.
Without the emperor's favor, the concubines in the harem have no hope.
She will live a sleepless, lonely life, and when a concubine falls out of favor, her family will treat her as an abandoned child and will no longer support her.
Although the concubines in the palace have a monthly allowance, they still need money to socialize, reward servants, and maintain relationships, most of which come from their families' support.
Of course, the emperor can also reward his favorite concubine with a lot of gold, silver and valuables, but in the case of our Emperor Xuanwu, no concubine has ever received this special treatment.
A few days later, in Zhongcui Palace.
The Clothing Bureau sent over two sets of Su brocade dresses.
In front of the bronze mirror, Concubine Shu put on the dress and admired it. The texture of Su brocade was smooth and lustrous, and the close-fitting cut could perfectly outline her graceful figure.
The golden patterns on the peony flowers shine brightly, which is eye-catching.

She had never dared to wear clothes with peony patterns before, but the base color of the Su brocade cloth given by the emperor that day was extremely suitable for peony, and she was sure that she would look better in it than Empress Duan.
She wanted to test her influence in Emperor Xuanwu's heart, so she ordered: "Tomorrow the Queen will wear this dress."
The palace maid then presented her with a jewelry box for the dressing table and asked her to choose matching jewelry.
"Tomorrow is your Majesty's birthday. If the Emperor sees you looking this beautiful, he will surely be delighted."
Concubine Shu smiled happily as she selected a golden hairpin with two phoenixes holding pearls, a golden hairpin with double happiness of wealth and honor, and gold filigree ruby earrings.
"Prepare the plum blossom wine. The emperor likes the taste and always drinks an extra glass."
"Yes, my lady."
Hongxiu smiled and said, "What a coincidence this time. Your Majesty's birthday happens to be the best day for conception. Your Majesty will definitely get what you wish for tomorrow night."
Concubine Shu thought to herself, how much she hoped that she could successfully conceive a royal heir tomorrow.
