After noon the next day, the imperial garden was filled with colorful flowers, a splendid spectacle.
Autumn is cooler and more suitable for enjoying the scenery than summer, without getting your clothes soaked with sweat.
Palace servants came in a constant stream, carrying plates, drinks, fruit tea and snacks and placing them on the table.
The concubines arrived at the scene in groups of three or four, and started chatting happily.
When women get together, they always have many topics to talk about, such as clothes, makeup, hairstyles, and weight.
Different from Cui Nianmi who was admiring herself alone, Wang Shuyi had entered the harem circle in a short time and was chatting enthusiastically.
Sheng Xiyan dismounted from the ceremonial procession, and Gao Guirong and Lin Jieyu arrived just in time.
The three of them walked hand in hand into the path of the Imperial Garden.
"Sister Sheng, is your leg okay?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
“I suffered this time.”
"I have to thank my two elder sisters. I am grateful for everything I have done."
Sheng Xiyan placed his right hand on top of his left hand, half-clenched his fist, placed it in front of his chest, and bowed in a standard bow gesture.
Gao Guirong pulled her aside and said with a smile, "Don't embarrass us. You are the Empress Chen, the head of the Five Palaces."
When Lin Jieyu smiled, her narrow eyes curved into two small crescents.
"Yes, Sister Sheng, good sisters should help each other."
Noble tolerance, low voice,
"Sister Sheng, don't be discouraged. I don't think the emperor would like a woman with Wang Shuyi's temperament. Her glory will not last long."
Sheng Xiyan gently waved the Butterfly Love Flower and Hehuan Flower fan and saw the woman in the sapphire blue dress in front of her, chatting and laughing. It must be Wang Shuyi.
It is estimated that the time for the emperor and empress to arrive at the scene is almost here.
"Sisters, I'll go meet her."
"good."
Sheng Xiyan walked forward and went straight to the banquet venue in the center, followed by Gao Guirong and Lin Jieyu.
As soon as she appeared, she was graceful, elegant, and bright, like a blooming pink peony, so beautiful and charming that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Cui Nianmi was in the corner, staring at the woman in front of her. She had a special feeling, as if they were related, but she couldn't tell why.
"The Empress Chen is here!"
"It's really beautiful, and the tassel on her forehead is so beautiful!"
Wang Shuyi looked Sheng Xiyan up and down. Before entering the palace, she knew that Emperor Xuanwu favored the widow of General Qi. Seeing her today, she found that she was indeed an extraordinary person.
There is an indescribable beauty about this woman.
The forehead is full, the chin is round, and the cheeks are firm.
A little cool, but not entirely.
Somewhat delicate, but not entirely.
Beautiful girl, this word might be more appropriate.
Although separated by Su Jindang fabric, one can still imagine the feeling of touching her.
Fragrant, pink and soft.
Not to mention men, even women want to hug her.
Wang Shuyi shook her head, wondering if she had been bewitched by this woman.
She is a competitor, and I am the new favorite concubine. I cannot compete with her in terms of momentum.
Wang Shuyi was just daydreaming when Sheng Xiyan stopped wearing her jewel-embroidered shoes and stared at her with a smile on her face.
He didn't say a word. Was he waiting for her to greet him?
Wang Shuyi pretended not to understand and continued chatting with the two concubines beside her while waving her round fan.
Sheng Xiyan has been standing in front of them,
The two concubines said timidly, "I, your concubines, wish you the best of luck and happiness."
"Hello, two sisters."
The two concubines fled quickly, leaving only Wang Shuyi.
Sheng Xiyan raised her curved eyebrows slightly, with a smile on her face, staring at Wang Shuyi so hard that her hair stood on end.
She made a rough symbolic bow and said, "This concubine greets Her Majesty the Concubine Chen."
Everyone stretched their necks to watch the duel between Concubine Chen and the new favorite concubine. It had been a long time since they had seen such excitement.
Sheng Xiyan approached Wang Shuyi and said softly, "I heard that the emperor praised your graceful figure?"
Wang Shuyi smiled sweetly and said, "Of course it's not fake. I wonder how the Emperor used to praise His Majesty the Concubine Chen?"
She placed great emphasis on the word 'once upon a time'.
Sheng Xiyan stretched out her jade hand and gently stroked the golden step-shaking ornaments, pretending to be a delicate girl.
"Oh, that's too many, so many that I can't even remember them all..."
Wang Shuyi sneered, "I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard of this ancient saying?"
"Oh, Sister Wang, tell me about it."
"The Yangtze River's waves behind push forward the waves ahead, and in the turbulent times, new people replace old ones. Your Majesty, do you understand what this means?"
Sheng Xiyan raised her chin and smiled slightly with her red lips.
Wang Shuyi was puzzled. What the hell was she laughing at? She must be mad at me. She was feeling proud when suddenly a loud slap landed on her face.
"You, why did you hit someone?"
Wang Shuyi hugged half of her face and opened her eyes angrily.
"Why, you're allowed to point fingers and criticize others, but I'm not allowed to hit anyone?"
"Why are you hitting me? I'm a daughter of the Wang family! You're a helpless vixen!"
Sheng Xiyan raised her hand to hit her again, but Wang Shuyi grabbed her wrist.
He said angrily: "Don't even think about causing trouble again!"
Suddenly, Sheng Xiyan pulled her hand and she fell to the ground like a cloud.
Wang Shuyi thought, I'm not that bad, stamped her feet and asked, "Why are you pretending?"
Sheng Xiyan frowned and said, "Sister Wang, how could you push me..."
Gao Guirong and Lin Jieyu tacitly agreed not to go forward to help her.
Then the palace servants announced: "The Emperor has arrived! The Empress Dowager has arrived, and the Empress has arrived!"
Xuan Ling wore a golden silk gown embroidered with the sun, moon and stars, and a dark blue brocade robe with dragon patterns inside.
He wore a nine-dragon purple gold hairpin on his head, and one-third of his black hair fell behind his shoulders, giving him a youthful air that he didn't usually have.
As I was walking up to the throne, I saw a pink object in the center.
The pink Sujin is shiny and has a rich and bright color.
