Chapter 57 Chapter 0057 Battlefield

Chapter 57, Chapter 0057, Battlefield

The petals and stamens of the pink and white plum blossoms are all made of topaz.

The gold bracket looked new, yet it was delicate and intricately made.

Things like this are most likely to get deformed, but the ones she wore were all straight.

It can be seen that he has just come to the fore.

Today, her eyebrows are still raised, but her eyes are painted innocent and beautiful. The tail of her eyes is slightly raised, which is playful and cute.

The lips were dyed with bright red lipstick, but only half of them were dyed, as if half of the lips had been bitten, which was pitiful and cute.

After paying respects to the two Empress Dowagers, they finally arrived at Fengzao Palace.

After more than a month's absence, the battlefield has become even more magnificent.

After everyone paid their respects to the Queen, there was no time for further formalities as they had to hurry to Zhengyang Palace.

After some time had passed, it was already mid-morning.

So I didn't pay much attention to Shen Chuliu's dress.

Until everyone entered Zhengyang Palace and sat down.

The emperor, empress, and queen mother were still at the back, and the concubines took their seats in order. Above Shen Chuliu was Concubine Zhao, and below her was Wen Xiaoyi.

Opposite are Li Xiaoyi, Miao Xiaoyi, and Lu Xiaoyi.

"I haven't seen my sister for more than a month. Everyone said that she was recuperating, but to me, she seems to be in good spirits," Li Xiaoyi said with a smile.

"What Li Xiaoyi said is contradictory. Since you are recuperating, you must recover. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time?" Shen Chuliu said.

"Sister Talent, your outfit is quite unique." Lady Zhao smiled.

She has a gentle and honest personality, and the praise she receives is genuine.

"Thank you, sister. You are just as beautiful." Shen Chuliu said.

"Okay, the clan members and ministers are still here." Concubine Feng said lightly.

In fact, who could hear them if they were sitting here and chatting quietly? But she just wanted to act like a big shot.

No one knew how to refute, and Li Xiaoyi snorted disdainfully.

Shen Chuliu naturally did not comment.

Soon, the emperor, empress, princes, princesses and the two queen dowagers arrived.

Everyone stood up to greet him, and the concubines came out to pay their respects.

Qi Yixiu helped the queen sit down and said, "No need to be polite. Today is the New Year, so we don't need to be so polite. My beloved concubines, please stand up as well."

Everyone thanked the emperor, stood up and sat back down in order.

After more than a month, Qi Yixiu finally saw Shen Cairen. As expected, this woman was dressed up again today.

It seems that the weight I lost has been restored and my skin seems to be whiter.

Today's outfit is also very gorgeous and beautiful. The hairstyle and makeup are both very eye-catching.

"My eyesight isn't very good, but I'm very happy to see you, my sisters-in-law." Empress Dowager Li said with a smile.

All the elders in the royal family have come. Women generally live longer than men, so some old princes have passed away long ago, but these princesses are still alive.

He usually doesn't come even if there is a banquet, but he is indispensable when there is one every year.

Today we are just drinking and chatting. In a few days, when the Queen Mother entertains guests, they will come in again.

Everyone toasted one by one, to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress.

Since the queen was pregnant, she naturally just drank water.

After a few rounds, the singing and dancing began. After two months of rehearsal in the Ministry of Internal Affairs' singing and dancing studio, the dancers also displayed their lifelong skills.

For a moment, the vocal music, singing and dancing warmed up the entire Zhengyang Palace.

Shen Chuliu appreciated the singing and dancing seriously, and had to say that the dancers in ancient times did have real skills.

Although the leader in front of him was not able to do the palm dance, he spun and jumped on a gong for a quarter of an hour.

The dance is graceful and the figure is light.

When Shen Chuliu was looking at the dancer, someone was looking at her from below.

The old lady Qu from the Shen family always looked at her.

Years ago, it was said that Concubine Shen had been ill for a long time, and the details were unknown, but the news that a concubine was suddenly demoted in the palace still spread.

The Shen family was unaware of the inside story and was afraid that Shen Chuliu had been involved in some private affairs.

It’s okay if it’s just the victim, but I’m afraid it’s the one who harms others.

It's not surprising to harm others, but if you get caught, that's hard to say.

Now seeing her sitting there in her best attire, Qu finally let go of half of the worry in her mind.

The Deer King probably learned his lesson after being impeached several times because of Miao Xiaoyi's incident.

This time, the toast was much more polite: "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty has a third prince? This is a great joy! I toast to Your Majesty! I also toast to the eternal stability of our Great Yi Empire! Your Majesty having another prince is a blessing to the world!"

Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "Thank you, Third Brother. It's a pity that the Third Prince is still young, so it's not convenient for you to meet him."

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? The Third Prince is still young, so we should take good care of him. Do you still have to worry about not being able to see him in the future? I'll drink first, Your Majesty, please do as you please." The Deer King drank a large cup with a very good attitude.

"The third brother must have four or five children now, right?" Empress Dowager Li asked with a smile.

The Deer King quickly responded: "It's too early for me to get married. Now I have four sons and two daughters."

Nowadays, it is always a happy thing to talk about having many children.

After all, having many children means more blessings, and this is what the rich and powerful think, not to mention the royal family? "Our emperor is not bad either. The queen is still pregnant, and Yi Chongyuan is also pregnant. When the babies are born, there will be so many too." Empress Dowager Feng said with a smile.

"That's right, sister." Empress Dowager Li always respected Empress Dowager Feng in public occasions as she did in the past.

"Speaking of which, I have asked people around me to visit the third prince several times. That child is a good child. It is also because Kang Chongyi has taken good care of him." Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "Emperor, today is a good day. According to my opinion, why not promote Kang Chongyi? What do you think?"

"Since mother has said so, we must do so. Kang Chongyi is also an old man in the palace, and has always been dedicated. Queen, do you think we can raise her position?"

Qi Yixiu asked.

The Queen smiled and said, "I originally thought about it in a few months, but I didn't think it through. Today is a good day, so let's do it today. I think there are too few high positions in the harem. We know Kang Chongyi's character very well. Why not promote her to be Consort De? Consort Kang De? That sounds good. What do you two mothers think? Your Majesty, I have the final say here."

Everyone was surprised.

Everyone thought that even if Kang Chongyi was promoted, she would only be a ninth concubine. It was considered very high to be promoted from Chongyi to Xiuyi. It was not as good as the position of Zhaorong above her.

At worst, there are still two vacancies for the second-rank concubine position.

But the queen was too magnanimous and promoted her to the rank of the fourth concubine of the first rank with just one sentence.

Although this Defei is the last one, where can one climb up there normally?

Concubine Feng tightly grasped her handkerchief and wanted to ask Empress Dowager Feng to stop her, but how could Empress Dowager Feng say anything to stop her at this time?

"Look, the Queen's demeanor is different!" Empress Dowager Feng praised with a smile.

"Ayun has always been kind to everyone in the harem." Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "Since the Queen has brought it up, I can't let Kang Chongyi down. Then let's go to Concubine De. But Concubine Kang De, the Queen and I trust you, and the Third Prince will ask you to raise him well."

Congratulations on adding another warrior to the battlefield.
