Concubine Xu always came to Hehuan Palace to complain and curse, because she knew that Xiao Jinyan was busy and rarely appeared in Hehuan Palace during the day.
Who would have thought that I would see Xiao Jinyan in broad daylight?
All those howls just now were heard by Xiao Jinyan.
If she isn't embarrassed, then who is?
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was extremely awkward.
Concubine Xu
Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui reacted and took two steps forward together, bowing to Xiao Jinyan in unison.
"May your highness be blessed with good health."
Xiao Jinyan: "Get up."
Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui stood up straight and stood there awkwardly.
Concubine Xu couldn't help but complain. Why did Xiao Jinyan stay with Shen Chuwei in broad daylight instead of doing official business? He made her lose face.
No, Tao Chenghui said that Xiao Jinyan is with Shen Chuwei, which means Shen Chuwei is in favor, which is a good thing.
But staying here in broad daylight is really affecting my performance! Finally, I couldn't help shouting, Xiao Jinyan, go get busy! We have something important to discuss! It's urgent!
Xiao Jinyan: "..."
Even Tao Chenghui couldn't help but complain at this time. So did His Highness. He didn't let Liu Xi guard the Hehuan Palace in broad daylight. What if he saw something inappropriate for children? How embarrassing would that be?
Xiao Jinyan: "..."
Shen Chuwei and Concubine Xu looked at each other, trying to communicate with their eyes how to resolve the current awkward situation.
Shen Chuwei blinked her beautiful big eyes twice, retracted her gaze and continued to tie the waist belt for Xiao Jinyan. When she saw the pendant on the waist belt, she was stunned for a moment. The pink sachet matched the moon-white clothes and looked quite beautiful.
Shen Chuwei fastened her waist belt and reminded, "Your Highness, are you going to the Imperial Study now?"
Xiao Jinyan said gently: "I'll go later."
Shen Chuwei turned her head and glanced at Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui, I will keep up the good work!
Shen Chuwei straightened Xiao Jinyan's brocade robe, which couldn't be smoother, and reminded him, "Your Majesty, are you in a hurry?"
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Concubine Xu who was standing beside him, then lowered his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei, and saw through her thoughts at a glance.
"We can't keep Father waiting any longer."
Shen Chuwei flicked the non-existent dust off Xiao Jinyan's sleeves, and smiled, "Then Your Highness should go and come back soon."
Just as the three were about to see Xiao Jinyan off, Xiao Jinyan spoke up, "My father asked me to go to the imperial study at 3:30 pm."
All three of them were stunned. Calculating the time, it seemed like there was still a quarter to go before noon.
Xiao Jinyan sat on the couch, slowly sipping the hot tea served by Chunxi.
Shen Chuwei, Concubine Xu, and Tao Chenghui stood side by side, all looking at Xiao Jinyan who was drinking tea with a handkerchief in his hand.
Xiao Jinyan took a sip of tea, "Concubine Xu."
Concubine Xu, who was named, was startled with a guilty conscience. It was over, it was over. Xiao Jinyan was going to punish me again~ Don’t make me kneel in the Buddhist temple, copy the Diamond Sutra, or something like that…
Could it be that he was under house arrest? Wouldn't he be unable to see Shen Chuwei if he was under house arrest?
Wouldn't that suffocate me to death?
No!!! Xiao Jinyan paused while drinking tea and found that Concubine Xu was quite aware of the situation.
Concubine Xu stepped forward cautiously: "I am here."
Xiao Jinyan said slowly: "You have been a concubine for some time."
Concubine Xu held the handkerchief in her hand and wailed in her heart. No way, she was going to be demoted? Wouldn't that mean she was one rank lower than Xueyan?
Not to mention the politeness when meeting someone, you also have to be cautious when talking to them.
Xiao Jinyan: “…” He suddenly understood why Concubine Xu and Shen Chuwei were so close and had a good relationship. It was because they were both very good at imagining things.
Shen Chuwei knew Concubine Xu quite well and was afraid that Xiao Jinyan would demote her.
She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Jinyan, wondering why Xiao Jinyan brought up this matter? Xiao Jinyan continued: "I have been busy recently, so you will take over the trivial matters of the East Palace for the time being."
Shen Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and she said that Xiao Jinyan would not demote Concubine Xu's position because of this matter.
Concubine Xu was stunned on the spot and began to doubt whether she had heard it wrongly. Xiao Jinyan actually wanted her to manage the trivial affairs of the Eastern Palace?
Aren't you going to punish her? Xiao Jinyan raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Xu calmly, her face full of surprise and disbelief.
Seeing that Concubine Xu did not respond, Shen Chuwei reached out and poked Concubine Xu, reminding her to come back to her senses.
Concubine Xu also reacted after being poked by Shen Chuwei, and bowed happily, "Your Majesty obeys your command."
Xiao Jinyan then said calmly: "Tao Chenghui has been in the East Palace for a year and has been promoted to Liangyuan."
Tao Chenghui was also stunned. She had been in the Eastern Palace for a year, and the number of times she had met His Highness alone could be counted on one hand.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
She is the daughter of a merchant and earned her fortune entirely through money.
Suddenly I was promoted two levels, and I felt like I had won a big prize.
Shen Chuwei saw that Tao Chenghui was also in a daze, so she stretched out her finger and poked Tao Chenghui, trying to bring her back to her senses.
Tao Chenghui reacted, took two steps forward, and bowed happily, "Thank you, Your Highness."
After Xiao Jinyan finished speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Shen Chuwei, "I will go to the imperial study now."
Shen Chuwei took two steps forward to escort Xiao Jinyan out, waving goodbye, "Your Highness, take care."
Then she was pulled into the inner room by Concubine Xu.
Concubine Xu couldn't contain her excitement, "Now, I will be in charge of the daily affairs of the East Palace."
Tao Chenghui's face was filled with joy. "I was promoted two levels in a row. I will be at the same level as Chang Liangyuan in the future."
Shen Chuwei congratulated: "Congratulations."
Then she congratulated Tao Chenghui, "Congratulations."
After a burst of excitement, Concubine Xu talked about business.
"Shen Liang Di, you should also know that you are shameless and want to enter the East Palace, right?"
Shen Chuwei nodded.
Tao Chenghui said: "But fortunately, she is not entering the Eastern Palace as the Crown Princess, so she is not the principal wife. You don't have to worry."
Concubine Xu said, "How can I not worry? Xueyan is a princess, and she is willing to take a step back and accept a concubine into the East Palace, which means she likes Your Highness very much. Your Highness also dotes on Shen Liang Di, so it's better to be prepared."
Shen Chuwei looked at Concubine Xu's anxious expression, which seemed like Xueyan was trying to steal her lover.
She suddenly remembered how Concubine Xu had just come in and howled, shamelessly trying to steal her man.
The definition of Concubine Xu has now become that Xiao Jinyan is hers~
Although Xueyan did not enter the Eastern Palace as the Crown Princess, she was a princess, so the Emperor still gave her a great ceremony.
No matter how grand the ceremony was, in Xueyan's eyes, she was not the legal wife, and there should be no marriage procedures without a legal wife.
The eighth day of the first lunar month was an auspicious day, and the Ministry of Rites had arranged everything.
Princess Xueyan entered the Qimeng Palace in the Eastern Palace wearing a gorgeous dress.
The hall was brightly lit.
On the square table, two red candles were burning brightly.
On the bed hung with wedding curtains, Xueyan was wearing a red wedding dress, which was a lighter color than normal red. It was intricate and luxurious, with a total of one hundred blue sea pearls embellishing the dress.
