The emperor turned over her card again, and Zhuang Yuyan was not surprised. After all, she had put in some effort. If the emperor forgot about her after playing with her for one night, it would mean that she would never be able to make a name for herself in the harem.
Emperor Chengxuan arrived nearly an hour earlier than last night. He was wearing a soft silk robe with a golden dragon pattern on it, and his hair was tied up with a golden crown with two dragons spitting pearls. He looked quite respectable.
Zhuang Yuyan did not wear the corseted skirt she wore last night. Instead, she wore a loose gauze skirt. The long skirt dragged on the ground, making her look more elegant and classy.
"I heard that you went to Jingyang Palace to pay your respects today?" Feng Jin sat on the soft chair, with a wisp of steam coming out of the tea in his hand.
"Your Majesty loves me, I am very happy, but the Queen has always been kind to sisters, how can I not go to pay my respects," Zhuang Yuyan said this, and smiled apologetically, "I was ignorant when I entered the palace a few days ago, and I was also rude to the Queen Mother. Fortunately, the Queen did not blame me, but now I think about it, I still feel guilty."
"You are able to admit your mistakes without being proud, which is very good." Feng Jin looked up at Zhuang Yuyan and saw that she was wearing black silk shawl, which was really attractive. He reached out and held her on his knees. When his hand touched the black silk, he felt that every strand of hair was soft and smooth, and very comfortable. "My beloved concubine is still young, but she already knows this. I am very relieved."
"Your Majesty, I am happy if you are happy." The woman sitting on the emperor's lap did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, she hooked her arms around Feng Jin's neck like an ordinary woman relying on her husband, raised her head and looked into those beautiful eyes. The joy in her eyes was obvious. "I will pay more attention in the future."
Feng Jin looked at those eyes and his heart moved slightly, but it was only for a moment. He smiled and reached out to touch the woman's tender cheek, "You are my beloved concubine, it's okay even if I pamper you a little."
When I pamper you, you are like the bright moon in the sky. When I hate you, I am afraid that you are not even as bright as the stone steps in front of the Qianzheng Palace. Zhuang Yuyan smiled and leaned in the arms of Emperor Chengxuan, hiding the teasing in her eyes. These emperors always like to say that their words are lawful, but which woman in the harem has not been deceived by the kings who are lawful?
Pick up the person in your arms and walk to the bed tent, and naturally you will have another delicious experience of making love and climbing to the top of the mountain to see the celestial being.
There are many women in the harem, and Feng Jin has tasted many women, but this Zhuang Wanyi can really be called delicious. Feng Jin stretched out his arms and let the palace maids and eunuchs kneel in front of him to tidy up his court clothes. The person on the bed was still sleeping, unaware of the movement in the room, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
After the court dress was arranged, Feng Jin suddenly walked to the bedside, looked down at the peacefully sleeping woman, and said in a good mood: "Taoyu Pavilion Zhuang has been gentle and virtuous since entering the palace, with a noble character, which is very pleasing to me. Now I specially promote her to be a concubine, and the title is... Zhao."
Gao Dezhong, who was waiting on the side, was shocked. He was already suspicious that Zhuang Wanyi was promoted to concubine so quickly, not to mention this title...
"Gao Dezhong, inform the six palaces of this decree later. Five days from now will be a good day. Tell the Palace Department to prepare the enthronement ceremony." Feng Jin buried his head and placed a kiss between Zhuang Luo's rosy brows, then turned and walked out of Taoyu Pavilion.
"Yes," Gao Dezhong didn't dare to look at the person on the bed, but he was shocked in his heart. It was just two nights, but the emperor was so fond of Zhuang Wanyi... Zhaopin. It really surprised him, and it also showed how scheming Zhaopin was.
""Shuowen" has a saying, Zhao, means the sun is bright. This word has the meaning of bright and beautiful, and no one can use it easily. The emperor actually used this word as the title of the Zhuang family..." The queen twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand with precise movements. It was a bit faster than usual, "I really care about Mr. Zhuang."
The Empress was very surprised. After only two days of being favored by the Emperor, Zhuang was promoted from Wanyi to Concubine. Although she was only a fourth-rank official, she had the title Zhao. Even other concubines had to give her two ranks. Moreover, who else below the rank of Concubine had been given a title except Concubine Queyan?
This Zhuang Luoyan's promotion turned out to be the same as the former Concubine Yan. This really did not occur to her. If she had known this day would come earlier, she would haveā¦
"Your Majesty, I heard that the servants from the Qianzheng Palace took a lot of treasures to the manor...Zhaopin's residence." He Yu came in from the outer room and reported in a low voice beside the empress.
The queen was stunned when she heard this, then smiled and said, "If that's the case, we in Jingyang Palace should also prepare some gifts for the occasion."
Upon hearing this, He Yu lowered his head and walked out.
The queen was not in a bad mood and was twirling her prayer beads. She really thought that the emperor liked this concubine Zhao so much. Now it seems that she is just a plaything. If she is pampered today, she will be forgotten somewhere tomorrow.
If an emperor truly loves someone, how could he bear to let her only hold a small concubine position and be envied by so many women? It is clear that he has no true feelings. He just thinks it is interesting and wants to enjoy it for a few more days.
The only thing that made her somewhat dissatisfied was the title. Even though the Emperor did not treat Zhaopin sincerely, he should have some love for her. It would be better for her to be more lenient towards Zhaopin now.
All kinds of precious toys and silks poured into Taoyu Pavilion like a tide. Concubines and imperial concubines, whether favored or not, all sent gifts to express their congratulations on the promotion, even though every one of these women wanted to strip Zhuang Luoyan.
Zhuang Yuyan looked at the treasures in the room, playing with a large Dongzhu pearl of excellent quality, and yawned as she listened to Fubao reading the gift list. "You can replace the treasures in the room with the treasures given by the emperor. As for the others, register them all and put them in the warehouse." After saying that, she glanced at Fubao and said, "You have to classify them and put them away properly. Don't make any mistakes."
Fubao understood and bowed before retreating.
"Master, the weather looks nice. Do you want to go out for a walk?" Tingzhu tapped Zhuang Yuyan's leg and asked carefully.
"If I go out now, wouldn't it be like making the masters in the palace jealous?" Zhuang Yuyan leaned lazily against the back of the chair. "Tell the others later that if anyone is arrogant and domineering outside by relying on my name, they will be punished with thirty strokes of the palace stick and sent out of Taoyu Pavilion. I can't keep anyone with a bad temper here."
"That's for sure," Ting Zhu responded carefully. Seeing that Zhuang Yuyan had closed her eyes to rest, she dared not say another word.
At this time, there were countless people in the harem who gritted their teeth and smashed things. Even so, when they met each other again, they would definitely talk and laugh, and show their deep sisterly love.
