This hairpin is made entirely of pure gold, like a butterfly flapping its wings about to fly, with red and blue gems dotted on its wings. Three pearl curtains of different lengths hang down from the middle, swaying lightly with Gu Wanying's movements.
It looks very gorgeous and is worth a fortune.
I didn't expect that such a beautiful thing could be poisonous.
Gu Wanying put the things away and then thought that her father's birthday party would be coming soon, and she would need this hairpin sooner or later.
Three days after Gu Wanying entered the palace, the emperor stayed in her palace for three days. Everyone said that the new Concubine Gu was the destined one, and she was blessed with great fortune and would definitely be able to conceive a prince.
Only Concubine Shu was unhappy. It was clearly that little bitch who had snatched away her favor, but now she had to lower herself to visit her.
Being given the title of the destined person, Gu Wanying's status is higher than everyone else.
Even the Empress Dowager felt that it was no big deal for Concubine Shu to give way to her, since Concubine Shu had no children for so many years.
After hearing this, Concubine Shu was so angry that she could hardly hold her expression. She claimed to be the most favored person in the world and her status was like that of the vice-empress, but Gu Wanying stepped on her head as soon as she came. How could she not hate her?
Who can understand the feeling of having to answer the empress dowager with a smile?
As calm as the queen, she was no longer surprised.
There are so many women in the harem who have not given birth to children for the emperor, so why can Gu Wanying get pregnant as soon as she arrives?
How many of the divinations from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory are accurate?
If you can't get pregnant, then just treat her like an ordinary concubine. If you do get pregnant...
Now that she's pregnant, there's nothing Gu Wanying can do.
Gu Wanying was completely unaware of these plots; she was only concentrating on practicing yoga.
She hasn't had time to practice since she came here, and her body has become quite stiff. She has to hurry up and practice before the emperor arrives.
She designed this yoga suit and had Yuetao and Feicui make it overnight. Ancient fabrics were not as elastic as modern ones, but she was very grateful that they could restore more than half of it.
In order to facilitate movement, the top is tight at the waist, and the parts above the waist and on the arms are made of translucent and loose fabric. The neckline is open to the collarbone, but Yue Tao still thinks it is too revealing, and her face turned red when sewing it.
The bottoms are made of brocade, which nicely outlines the hips and legs, and they aren't tight when practiced. I have to say that Jade's craftsmanship is excellent.
She was completely absorbed in the yoga practice and had no idea that the emperor had been standing behind her and watching her for a long time. His gaze grew deeper as he looked at the pretty figure.
By the time Gu Wanying realized it, the emperor had already held her in his arms, and Yuetao and Feicui had already disappeared.
Gu Wanying didn't know that she had provoked anger, and was still looking at the emperor with an innocent face. In the emperor's eyes, her look was pure and attractive.
The result was that all the clothes that had just been made overnight were torn to pieces.
Well, I'll make another set tomorrow. It's not enough for the emperor to tear.
Yuetao and Feicui looked up at the sky in silence.
When she woke up the next day, Gu Wanying looked at the emperor with resentful eyes and her red lips raised high.
The belts that Eunuch Feng had tied for the emperor were all untied by Gu Wanying as soon as he turned around. Eunuch Feng had a worried look on his face and repeatedly begged Gu Wanying not to untie them.
"Stop it, I'm going to be late for the morning court. Yingying doesn't want to be called a witch concubine, right?" The emperor became distracted again when he saw her like this.
"Your Majesty is so unromantic. I haven't interfered in government affairs, so how can I be called a witch?" Gu Wanying smiled happily, "I would like to ask for mercy."
"Go ahead." The emperor nodded lovingly.
"My father's birthday is at the beginning of next month. Will the emperor allow me to go back and celebrate his birthday?" Gu Wanying sat up straight, her three thousand black hair draped behind her, making her look somewhat charming.
"I agree. Bring a gift. The South China Pearl in my warehouse would be a good choice."
Nanzhu, the night-shining pearl of the South China Sea, was the annual tribute from the vassal state last year.
"Then I would like to thank the emperor very much." Gu Wanying decisively loosened the belt that was about to be pulled out of shape, turned over and lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
Eunuch Feng was so frightened watching from the side that he didn't dare to breathe.
No other concubine had ever been so bold in front of the emperor. Not only did she refuse to help him put on the dragon robe, she also pulled his clothes and refused to thank him when he asked for mercy.
It's really unruly.
But why did the Emperor seem to be so fond of her? He even smiled and shook his head, the doting look in his eyes almost drowning one.
"Why are you wiping your eyes?"
"I haven't seen the emperor smile like this for a long time. I'm so happy!" Eunuch Feng said while wiping his tears.
Gu Wanying was unable to catch up on her sleep, and Feicui came to report that the Queen had invited all the concubines in the palace to a flower-viewing banquet, which would be held in the Imperial Garden in an hour.
Yuetao dug Gu Wanying out of bed and helped her dress up with Feicui.
If the Queen invites you, you have to go no matter how reluctant you are, after all, she has such a high status.
Gu Wanying was still dizzy while walking on the path, until a breeze blew and she woke up.
Before I got close, I heard laughter from afar. It seemed that she was the last one to arrive.
Sure enough, several concubines were already sitting there, and when she arrived, everyone looked at her.
There was inquiry, doubt and gloating in their eyes, but the queen's eyes were indifferent, as if she looked down on everything.
"This must be Sister Gu, right? She is truly naturally beautiful. No wonder the emperor stays in your palace every night." The concubine with a melon-shaped face started teasing, and the others all blushed.
"You said dirty words the first time we met. Aren't you afraid of scaring Sister Gu?" Concubine Shu said to her in pretended anger.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly warm.
Gu Wanying didn't know the personalities of these people, so she was very careful with every word she spoke. Only Xianfei, who was sitting next to Shufei, would make sarcastic remarks to her from time to time, and her dislike for her was shown openly.
"Yesterday, I heard someone wrote a poem about peonies." The Queen's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Gu Wanying carefully. "Only the peony is the true national beauty. When it blooms, it moves the capital. It's really a beautiful poem. Unfortunately, there are only two lines. I'm not satisfied enough."
Peony is the king of flowers. Others say that peony can only serve as her foil, but she is extremely proud of it.
"Your Majesty, the whole poem goes like this. The peony in front of the courtyard is wild and without style, the lotus in the pond is pure and emotionless. Only the peony is the true national beauty, and the capital is moved when the flowers bloom." Gu Wanying paced while reciting the poem, her eyes blooming with a confidence that she had never noticed before.
"I heard that Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine likes peonies. I think flowers are just flowers, and you can't use flowers to describe people. What does it matter whether it is a peony or a tree? As long as they bloom vigorously, isn't that good enough?" The Concubine Shu opened her red lips slightly, and her words were like a bombshell.
Here she comes, here she comes! She comes with the intention of stirring up trouble!
