There was a joyful atmosphere in Zhuixia Palace, and several palace maids were busy arranging the arrangements for Concubine Wang to sleep with the emperor at night.
From bathing and fumigating with incense, dressing up, to waiting to be summoned, every step is full of ritual.
And there was no palace in the harem that was unaware of this.
The pattern of Concubine Chen being the only favorite was completely broken tonight.
This means that each concubine has a greater chance of getting a green card in the future.
Only when the emperor treats them equally do they have the opportunity to succeed.
In Guanju Palace, several delicacies were placed on the coral low kang table.
Jiang Jiang is reading a picture book.
"Baby, let's eat first."
"Mom, you use it first, I'll finish reading this one."
Sheng Xiyan picked up the jade and tasted the fried yellow croaker.
"Mei Xiang's cooking is even better than Song He Lou's. It's really delicious."
Hua Xia brought steaming hot mutton soup.
"My lady, are you okay?"
Sheng Xiyan smiled and said:
"Don't think of me as so fragile. If tears were useful, the palace would have been flooded long ago.
It is normal for the emperor to favor his concubines. I only regret that I have never been able to conceive a child.
Nothing else.”
Instead of being sad about the passing of time, it is better to accept reality.
"I also want to eat drunken shrimp, please bring me a plate."
"I will go right away."
Jiangjiang put down the picture book and came over, patting his chest.
"Mother, I want to be a general in the future, defend my country and protect the country for my father."
Sheng Xiyan was shocked. As a mother, how could she bear to let her child go to the battlefield, especially since she had suffered so much for it before.
Patting Jiang Jiang's head, she said gently, "Baby, you have great ambitions. No matter what you do, your mother will support you."
Jiangjiang picked up a piece of honey-roasted pork ribs and ate it with a smile on his face, full of childish innocence.
"Father will be very happy if he knows."
Sheng Xiyan really wanted to say that she also cared about the world, but she didn't want Jiang Jiang to go to the barracks. She thought that being an idle person and having him stay by her side would be her greatest happiness.
"Baby, are you trying to please the Emperor, or do you want to be a general?"
Jiang Jiang tilted his head, wondering if there was any difference.
"Mom, I miss them all."
"Baby, you are independent and can choose what you like instead of doing it to please your father."
"But I find wars in comic books very interesting. Qi Yan told me a lot of stories about the battlefield, and I really enjoyed them."
Sheng Xiyan had no choice but to guide him subtly.
"Baby, look at your uncle who got the top score in the imperial examination. Isn't that amazing? Don't you want to be the top scorer?"
He will frown.
"My uncle is awesome, but I like knives and swords. Mother, are you worried that I won't study hard? Don't worry, I've memorized everything the tutor taught me."
Hua Xia brought out the drunken shrimps, and Sheng Xiyan put down her jade clothes, looking melancholy.
I didn't lose my appetite because of the man, but I lost my appetite because of my son.
She wasn't the type to yell at a child, so she leaned over and took a bite of the little cheek.
“Ah~~~~”
Jiang Jiang covered his face, put down his clothes and pounced on her.
"Mother, I want to bite it back! Which side do you say?"
"Haha, mother begs for mercy. I won't bite you next time."
"You lie every time, wow!"
He bit Sheng Xiyan's face briefly, but didn't use much force and lay on top of her.
"Mother, I don't want to bite you, for fear that you will cry."
Sheng Xiyan's eyes were filled with tears for a moment.
"Baby, mother loves you more than anything."
"Mom, I'm very hungry. Let's have dinner."
"OK."
Her appetite was appeased again, and she was actually a very easy-to-please person.
At night,
The Fengluan Chun'en carriage escorted the newlyweds into the west hall of the Yangxin Palace.
Concubine Wang was placed on the dragon couch and stretched her neck to look inside the palace.
The scent of ambergris wafts slowly, revealing the imperial power and wealth everywhere, and the extravagance and decadence dazzles the eyes.
If scholars study hard for ten years and get their names on the list of successful candidates, they will become famous overnight.
As for the noble ladies from aristocratic families, they have been diligently studying music, chess, calligraphy and painting since they can remember, and have been carefully maintaining their appearance and body.
Just waiting to come of age, enter the palace, and become the emperor's concubine.
Concubine Wang was extremely confident in her appearance and figure, and her overall qualities were among the best among the noble ladies in the capital.
I waited for an unknown amount of time and my neck became sore. I wondered why the Emperor hadn't come yet. It must be because he was busy with state affairs.
The sound of footsteps like drumbeats was heard, and a pair of jeweled soap boots embroidered with dragon patterns entered the hall.
Wang Jieyu had a smile on her red lips and her eyes were full of longing.
But after waiting for a while, hey, why wasn't the emperor sitting on the dragon couch?
She stretched out her smooth arms, loosened the quilt a little, and looked to the left.
In the distance, Emperor Xuanwu was sitting upright on a bright yellow couch.
From a distance, it looks like they are playing chess!
He is tall and straight, as eye-catching as a towering mountain.
She was wearing a dark-colored, antique satin gown. The material was of excellent quality and shone with a faint glow.
Her skin is fair, like mutton-fat jade, her profile lines are firm yet smooth, her nose is high, and her brow bones are deep. She is truly perfect in every way.
Wang Jieyu tried hard to calm her heart which was beating like a deer.
A gentle and graceful voice called out softly, "Your Majesty?"
The emperor seemed not to hear anything, still holding the jade in his hand, as if lost in thought.
Concubine Wang made a bold decision in just a moment.
She bit her lips lightly, slowly spread open the quilt, and then carefully crawled out from inside...
To prevent assassination, concubines serving the emperor in the palace were not allowed to wear clothes, and even their hair buns had to be checked before they were allowed into the palace.
She was like a delicate flower, all white and naked.
