If the Sultan quickly exchanges the item he likes, it will be a sign of good fortune.
As the name suggests, the auspicious sign item can change the celestial phenomena for a moment according to the host's requirements, creating the illusion of auspiciousness.
Sultan Ruo was well aware of the superstitious mentality of the ancients and decided to take advantage of this to make everyone notice his uniqueness.
She also thought that using this trick might make the emperor wary of her, but in a hurry she could no longer care about that.
When the Sultan walked out of the team to meet the emperor, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and it became dark in an instant.
A ray of sunlight shone through the dark clouds onto Sudanruo, and the halo around her made her look like a fairy from the world.
A strange-shaped auspicious cloud appeared above Sultan's head. It looked like a mythical beast, shaped like a horse with a white head and patterned like a tiger with a red tail.
The Imperial Master saw the vision on Sultan Ruo and raised his arms and shouted:
"Auspicious signs from heaven! God bless our Great Xia!"
When everyone heard this, they secretly discussed Sudan Ruo.
The emperor's face turned a little unhappy when he heard this. He was not like other people who would believe in such weird things.
His first reaction was to worry that the woman in front of him would endanger his imperial power.
After a while the weather returned to normal.
The emperor asked the imperial preceptor, "You said this vision was a sign of good fortune from heaven. Could you please tell me what this sign is?"
The Imperial Master knelt down and answered the Emperor's question.
"Your Majesty, this auspicious sign is from the ancient mythical beast Lu Shu, and it portends many children and great happiness!"
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she thought this omen appeared on this beautiful girl, indicating that she was a blessed person favored by God! Who knows, she might even give birth to children for the emperor!
The emperor also felt relieved. After all, this was the daughter of the prime minister. If this auspicious sign was something else that would threaten him, he would never let this girl leave alive.
The Queen Mother asked Sultanruo to come forward so that she and the Emperor could take a good look.
If the Sultan came forward, the Queen Mother would see clearly how beautiful this woman was, and even she would feel ashamed of herself when she was young.
Even though the emperor had seen many beauties, he couldn't take his eyes off the Sultan at first sight and began to praise her:
"Yes, she is a wonderful person. Let's keep her nameplate and grant her the title of Ji. Since she is the daughter of the Prime Minister, let her be named Jipin!"
After hearing the emperor's words, Sultan felt a little relieved.
But the test has just begun.
The palace selection was over. Among the hundreds of beauties, only three were selected, including Sultan Ruo. In addition to her and Huo Yun, Chu Song was also left behind.
However, Chu Song and Huo Yun only got the title of noble lady. Huo Yun was named Noble Lady Yun and Chu Song was named Noble Lady Chu. Both of them were arranged to live in Sultan Ruo's palace.
Since the emperor has never had children, the position of queen has remained vacant. The highest rank currently is imperial concubine.
All concubines who had just entered the palace were required to pay their respects to the Imperial Noble Consort as a sign of respect.
The next morning, Sultan Ruo and the other two went there.
The Imperial Concubine seemed to want to give the newcomers a warning, claiming that she was not feeling well, and forced the three of them to stand in the scorching sun at the gate of her palace for more than an hour.
Only when the three of them could hardly stand did they let them into the house.
After entering the room, the three of them took turns serving tea to the Imperial Concubine. If the Sultan had a higher rank, he would be the last one to serve tea.
The first two went smoothly, but when it came to Sultan, the imperial concubine suddenly held her forehead and said she had a headache.
Then she asked the maid beside her to massage her while she closed her eyes to rest.
He neither let Sultanruo stand up nor took the tea from her hand.
Sudanruo's hands were burned red by the tea bowl, and he could only use a few fingers to hold the tea bowl back and forth.
Yun Guiren beside him couldn't stand it any longer and reminded:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ji is still holding tea."
The Imperial Concubine raised her eyes and glanced at Yun Guiren, then said lazily with one hand on her head:
"That's all I have to do. Why? Do you want to accompany her too?"
If the Sultan had anticipated that he might be targeted because of what happened on the day of the palace election, he would have prepared himself mentally in advance.
She will accept being punished as long as it does not endanger her life.
But I can't drag Huo Yun along with me when I'm punished! Huo Yun is the only person I know well in this harem. If both of us are punished, then there are some things that no one can do.
Su Danruo quickly shook his head at Huo Yun, signaling her not to interfere and that he was fine.
The Imperial Concubine was feeling smug when she saw that Noble Lady Yun hadn't said anything else and no one dared to disobey her. Suddenly, the voice of the eunuch in charge of the Emperor's affairs came from outside.
"Your Majesty has arrived—"
Everyone quickly stood up to welcome the emperor and saluted him.
The Imperial Noble Consort was a little flustered. In the past, the Emperor never came to offer tea to the new concubines after selecting them, so why did he suddenly come today?
The emperor naturally came because of Sultan Ruo. He was curious about what secrets Sultan Ruo had and whether he could really give birth to offspring for him as the national teacher said.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he saw Sultan Ruo kneeling on the ground with tea in her hand, so he reprimanded the imperial concubine and told her to stop and not go too far.
"Who is this blind person who has angered the Imperial Concubine again? The Imperial Concubine is now assisting the Empress Dowager in managing the six palaces. She should control her temper a little."
When the imperial concubine heard what the emperor said, she quickly asked Sultan to stand up and tried to exonerate herself.
"It's all my fault. I woke up with a splitting headache this morning and forgot that Concubine Ji was still kneeling."
Then he blamed the maidservants beside him, "Why didn't you remind me to help Concubine Ji up quickly."
The personal maidservant beside the imperial concubine was her confidant. She quickly followed the imperial concubine's words and took all the blame on herself. She helped Sultanruo up and asked her to atone for her sins.
