Wearing a pearl shirt, her hair and face look even more noble.
Sheng Xiyan stroked her pearl shirt, feeling melancholy.
What should we do about Qi Yan’s poison?
The better she lived and the worse he lived, the more upset she felt.
I reconciled with Xuan Ling last night and really didn’t dare to mention Qi Yan’s matter.
Today's palace-wide greetings will be held after noon.
The concubines were very surprised, but they also wanted to see if the queen was angry about what happened last night.
But it seems that Queen Duan looks very good and her makeup is festive.
Concubine Shu sarcastically said:
"I heard that when the Emperor came to Jingren Palace last night, he brought his Consort Chen with him. Later, she ran away, and the Emperor chased after her. Is that true, Empress?"
Queen Duan smiled and said:
"Shufei, Qi Yan hasn't woken up yet, you are too happy too early.
It's more important to think about how to get him to remove the poison.
I heard that there is no antidote for this poison, what a pity."
When Concubine Shu heard this, her face immediately turned gloomy.
I went to the Imperial Hospital to see Qi Yan yesterday, and the imperial physician did say this.
Concubine Liang laughed silently.
"Sister Shufei's expression changed so quickly, just like the saying goes, 'The moon waxes and wanes, and sometimes things don't go as we wish. Everything is determined by fate.'"
Concubine Shu twisted her handkerchief, her face cold and silent.
After Liang Fei ridiculed Shu Fei, she would not miss the opportunity to anger the Queen.
"Empress, what happened last night? Did the Concubine Chen deliberately ruin the Emperor and Empress's chance to sleep together?"
Concubine Jia cursed: "You vixen, you bully the emperor every day!"
Queen Duan looked at the crowd of concubines below, determined not to lose her momentum.
She laughed and said, “Chen Fei is a concubine, what do you think Liang Fei should do to fulfill her duty?
I served the Emperor half the night before, and I'm still feeling sore.
Concubine Liang, you may not know this feeling, and I don’t blame you.”
Concubine Liang rolled her eyes in anger. She had been in the palace for seven years but still had not been favored. Her self-esteem was hurt!
Empress Duan took the opportunity to point out:
As long as I am alive, you will always be my concubines. Don't even think about laughing at me.
Just then, the Internal Affairs Department's Chief Steward Liu came in with someone and said respectfully:
"Empress, the Emperor has sent you a reward. Please take a look."
On the plate held by the palace maid were golden melon seeds, jade carvings, several pieces of brocade, and a basket of tangerines.
Empress Duan said, "Qingdai, share the tangerines with the sisters."
"Yes, my lady."
This is the first batch of tangerines to be presented as tribute, and they are extremely precious.
The concubines stood up to express their gratitude. However, Concubine Liang, Concubine Shu and Concubine Jia were not happy and did not take the tangerines.
The three of them said in unison,
"Give it to other sisters. I don't like to eat it."
At the end, Queen Duan said:
"By the way, the Emperor will go to the Purple Bamboo Courtyard to admire the chrysanthemums at noon today. You can also go and take a look."
The queen was so virtuous that she not only rewarded everyone with tangerines, but also sent the news that she was going to meet Emperor Xuanwu.
The concubines in each palace immediately returned to their bedrooms, dressed up, and went to Zizhuyuan in their best attire.
Emperor Xuanwu had not played the green card for a long time and had not entered the harem.
It was a good idea for the concubines to think about meeting him, just in case there was an opportunity. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
At noon, in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard north of the Imperial Palace.
The concubines came in one after another and saw the pearl shirt on Sheng Xiyan at a glance.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is blinding. You are covered in tens of thousands of taels of silver, as if you are afraid that no one will know that you are a favorite concubine.
Parading in public.
"Sister Chen Fei, your pearl shirt is so beautiful. Are they made of seawater pearls?"
“It’s so bright!”
Sheng Xiyan agreed with a smile. She thought Xuan Ling just wanted her to bring Jiang Jiang and Le Wen to play, but it turned out that he wanted everyone to come and appreciate the chrysanthemums.
I should have known not to wear the pearl shirt.
Rong Guirong brought Yu Mo with her, and the three children went to catch butterflies.
"Sister Sheng, no, I'll call you Sister Chen Fei now."
"You can call me whatever you want. Yu Mo has grown a lot taller."
"The general is also taller."
Gao Guirong and Lin Jieyu came in and called Sheng Xiyan from a distance.
"Sister Sheng, we haven't seen each other for quite some time since you went to the Yangxin Palace to accompany the emperor. You've lost weight. It must have been very hard, right?"
"Fortunately, Sister Gao's hair bun today is really exquisite."
After a few people chatted for a while, Sheng Xiyan looked up and saw Xuan Ling walking in wearing a dark blue brocade robe with a dragon pattern, looking very handsome.
Hey, did you go back and change your clothes?
Then I saw Queen Duan coming in behind me.
So you go to Jingren Palace to exchange it?
She was just daydreaming on the spot when the other concubines had already rushed to Xuan Ling.
She bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I, your concubine, pay my respects to you. May you be blessed with good health and happiness."
Xuan Ling was so intoxicated by the strong scent of rouge that he fanned himself.
He said perfunctorily, "Everyone is here, that's great, let's go enjoy the chrysanthemums."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Looking for Sheng Xiyan, Empress Duan pulled him aside and said:
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Flower and Tree Bureau has newly cultivated a Phoenix Zhenyu. I would like to invite you to go and take a look."
The crowd dispersed, and Xuan Ling finally saw Sheng Xiyan.
The woman is like a beautiful little swan,
She wore a sparkling pearl shirt on her shoulders, her neck was long and straight, and her snow-white skin looked even whiter and more delicate against the backdrop of the pearls, as if she were a fairy who was not of this world.
Her jet-black hair was combed into an elegant bun, with a few strands of hair hanging gently beside her cheeks, making her look charming and attractive.
He was chatting and laughing with the concubine next to him, and little stars seemed to be twinkling on his face when he laughed.
"Empress, you go enjoy the chrysanthemums first. I'll go see Concubine Chen."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Queen Duan also dressed up specially today, wearing a gorgeous hair crown and a pink and blue peony dress, which made her look gentle and dignified.
