Chapter 102 The Concubine Has Been Decided

Xiao Jinyan comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here, and my mother won't make things difficult for you."

Shen Chuwei wanted to say something, but Xiao Jinyan said first: "You should get ready. I still have things to take care of."

All right!

After Shen Chuwei sent Xiao Jinyan away, she lay on the rattan chair like a salted fish. Seeing the five books on the low table, she simply turned sideways, thinking that she would not be bothered by them.

Chang Liangdi has not been idle these days. Ever since the news came out that the Empress was going to make her a concubine to manage the affairs of the Eastern Palace, sisters would come to Xinlan Palace to visit her every day in order to curry favor with her.

In order to win people's hearts, Chang Liangdi naturally had to build good relationships with them, so she specially prepared a tea party to build relationships.

Chunxi received the post and told Shen Chuwei.

"My lady, Chang Liangdi invites you to a tea party."

Shen Chuwei asked in confusion: "What is a tea party? Do I need to give a speech? If so, I won't go."

"No, actually it's just the sisters in the East Palace drinking tea together, chatting, and eating some fruit snacks."

As soon as Chunxi finished speaking, Shen Chuwei's eyes lit up, "Go ahead, why not go if there's food to eat?"

The fruit snacks in Chang Liangdi Palace are quite good.

Chunxi looked worried, "Aren't you afraid it's a Hongmen Banquet?"

Shen Chuwei said: "What are you afraid of? Can she eat me?"

Chunxi shook her head: "I'm not afraid of that, but I'm afraid they will do something behind the scenes."

Shen Chuwei said nonchalantly: "It's okay, they can't defeat me."

Chunxi sighed. When her mistress heard that there was food to eat, her eyes lit up and she was no longer afraid of anything.

In the evening, Shen Chuwei ate her fill and went to bed early.

On the day of the tea party, Shen Chuwei was pulled by Chunxi to the dressing table to dress up, so as not to be outdone by Chang Liangdi.

A few days ago, His Highness sent a piece of extremely rare material, which was lotus pink in color, and it especially matched Shen Chuwei's snow-white skin.

She sent it to the garment factory early and had a very beautiful dress made, which happened to be delivered by the garment factory yesterday.

At this time, the lotus pink dress Shen Chuwei was wearing was newly made and was more suitable than she had imagined.

Chunxi took out the set of peach blossom hairpins that Tao Chenghui had sent her, and then put them on Shen Chuwei one by one. They matched her lotus pink dress very well.

Shen Chuwei's face is small and delicate, and with the pink clothes and hairpin, she looks like a delicate and pretty girl, which is particularly likable.

Afterwards, Chunxi painted a peach blossom-shaped flower ornament between her eyebrows, as if she were a peach blossom fairy from a peach blossom forest.

Shen Chuwei stared at the mirror and couldn't help but admire Chunxi's cleverness and dexterity. Her hair was beautifully tied up, and the peach blossom hairpin was not as heavy as the golden hairpin, so it felt good.

"Let's go." Shen Chuwei went to Xinlan Palace with great interest.

This is my second time here, I'm pretty familiar with it.

Xinlan was already laughing at this time. After entering, she saw that they had all arrived and were already chatting.

Chunxi curled her lips, thinking that Chang Liangdi must have deliberately written a late time on the note, causing the young lady to arrive late alone.

Li Liang Di saw Shen Chu Wei coming and teased, "Shen Liang Di, why did you come just now? The sisters have already arrived."

Xu Chenghui covered his mouth and laughed: "Maybe I overslept."

Shen Chuwei was of the same rank as Chang Liangdi and Li Liangdi. Since they didn't stand up, she didn't have to return the gift.

"It's okay, you guys continue chatting." As she said that, she lifted up the hem of her skirt and sat down next to Tao Chenghui, rolled up her sleeves and started eating the cake in front of her.

Chang Liang Di saw Shen Chuwei's actions and chuckled: "Your Highness didn't stay at Xiyun Pavilion last night, so how could Shen Liang Di oversleep?"

Shen Chuwei simply ignored Chang Liangdi's words. She didn't come here to chat, but to eat. Talking would affect her eating speed.

Chang Liangdi looked unhappy, but she didn't show it because someone might ask.

Xu Chenghui turned around and asked curiously, "Shen Liangdi, what did you do last night?"

Shen Chuwei took a bite of the cake and said, "Go to sleep. I don't have to get up early."

Xu Liangyuan raised her handkerchief and smiled secretly: "Xu Chenghui, how is your collection of sweet dew going? There has been a heavy frost recently, so you have to be careful."

Speaking of this, Xu Chenghui's face looked a little unhappy. In the past month, she has been getting up before dawn every day, and even has dark circles under her eyes.

"I'm sorry to have made Sister Xu worried."

Xu Liangyuan adjusted her stroller and said arrogantly, "You're joking. I was just worried that you wouldn't have collected the nectar when His Highness needed it."

Due to his low rank, Xu Chenghui could only reluctantly agree, "I will try my best."

Xu Liangyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, ignoring Xu Chenghui. Her eyes showed that she didn't even take Xu Chenghui into consideration.

Shen Mingzhu saw that Shen Chuwei was only focused on eating. After a while, the side was filled with orange peels and grape peels...

"I heard that the Queen and His Highness are going to choose between Chang Liangdi and Shen Liangdi as the concubine. I don't know who will win in the end. Sister, don't just focus on eating. Tell me what you think."

Shen Chuwei looked at his chin and said, "What's the point of asking me? Why don't you ask Chang Liangdi?"

Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she still had a kind smile on her face: "I'm just worried about you. You were raised in the countryside and were only brought back last year. You can't change many of your country habits. I'm worried that you can't handle it."

Shen Mingzhu deliberately exposed Shen Chuwei's past to embarrass her in public.

"No need, thank you." Shen Chuwei lowered his head and continued eating grapes, not listening to Shen Mingzhu's words at all.

Xu Liangyuan had long been fed up with Shen Mingzhu. She clicked her tongue twice, "Shen Liangyuan keeps calling you country bumpkin, as if she's afraid that others don't know. If they know you, they'll think you care about your sister, but if they don't, they'll think you dislike her."

Shen Mingzhu's face turned pale and blue, "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Liangyuan calmly took a sip of tea and said, "Shen Liangyuan is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, how come she can't understand Mandarin?"

Shen Mingzhu's face was extremely ugly. Ever since she was demoted and placed on the same level as Xu Liangyuan, Xu Liangyuan began to make all kinds of sarcastic remarks about her.

"Xu Liangyuan, this is Xinlan Palace, you should be more careful with your words."

Xu Liangyuan didn't seem to be afraid at all. "I'm talking to you, why are you talking about Chang Liangdi?"

Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she simply stopped talking, picked up the teacup, and took a few sips of tea to ease the embarrassment.

Shen Chuwei was eating grapes while listening to Xu Liangyuan scolding Shen Mingzhu. Since she was so good at scolding people, she secretly gave Xu Liangyuan a nickname, Xu Duidui.

Chang Liangdi pretended to be a good person, "Today is a happy day, sisters, please don't ruin the harmony."

Xu Liangyuan nodded in agreement: "Today is indeed a happy day."

Chang Liangdi glanced at Xu Liangyuan coldly, ignored her, picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of tea.

Xu Liangyuan smoothed her hair, still looking arrogant, "Do you know? The candidate for the concubine has been decided."
