On the morning of the fourth day, just before dawn, I mounted a palanquin and set off for the palace. When my father saw me to the palanquin, his face was dismal, and he kept telling me to take care of myself. My mood was also extremely heavy. Every step I took caused me to feel even more stifled.
As soon as he returned to the palace, he received a decree from the Chinese scholar Liu Hui E that she would be promoted to a beauty, and that she would be given a place to stay in Shang Ju Pavilion. Moreover, this Shang Ju Pavilion was created from the Bedchamber of Sun Ya Bei.
For some reason, he felt restless. This Shang was too unlucky. In the past, Fourth Prince's biological mother, the Zhou family, had died in Shang Feng Pavilion. Now, however, the rising concubine has moved to the reformed Shangju pavilion.
Looks like this was the intention of either the empress or the Imperial Noble Consort. Even if Xuanyuan doted on a woman, she wouldn't be able to be meticulous and considerate. The jealousy of a harem woman was enough to destroy everything.
As usual, I first went to the empress's Pilgrimage Palace to greet them. The empress was still gentle and magnanimous, "I apologize for the fact that I paid my respects to my sister the moment she entered the palace. Bao Qi, quickly go and pour Imperial Concubine Shan a cup of hot tea to cool off. "
I smiled as I thanked him. "I am truly grateful that the Empress is always so considerate and caring." The queen smiled but didn't say anything. I picked up the fragrant hot tea and blew gently on it to cool it.
"My younger sister brought some melon products from the mansion. They are the blue gourds from Southcloud City." If Empress does not abandon me, sister will instruct me to send some over to Pilgrimage Palace later. " Lightly taking a sip of the hot tea, Zhang Xuan felt the warmth in his body melting.
"Of course it's good. The spring day can taste the fruits of summer. Marquis really dotes on his sister! " As the Queen sipped her tea, a faint sense of worry rose up in her heart.
I kept my eyes on her face. I must have been worried about the harem.
As expected, the empress took the initiative to speak up. "I wonder if little sister listened to Liu Hui'e's decree." Without waiting for me to reply, the empress continued, "It was Imperial Noble Consort who chose Shang Ju Pavilion to stay in for her."
"Sister Liu being generous and entering the seal is also within reason." I smiled humbly. "It was also her fortune that the Emperor loved and valued her." The empress gave a faint smile but said nothing more.
On the other hand, it was the First Prince, Yun Xuan, who suddenly came to seek an audience with the Queen. However, it quickly eased. "Yun Xuan came to pay his respects to Empress Mother. On the other hand, this son was rude and disturbed the conversation between Empress Mother and mufei. "
Seeing Yun Xuan coming over, the Queen's dignified face couldn't help but gain a hint of benevolence. I also laughed, "After disturbing Empress for a while, Wanqing should also be leaving. It won't stop the Empress from talking with the First Prince. " The queen nods slightly, and I kneel.
It wasn't unnatural at all. Even if Yun Long wasn't the Queen's First Prince, he was merely a child in my eyes. How could I take advantage of his early love for me? But in the empress's heart, he didn't think so.
Leaving the Pilgrimage Palace, he headed towards the Caixie Palace. The sky was already extremely bright. The red and orange morning sun slowly rose, and the temperature also gradually rose. The bottom of his heart suddenly felt warm because of the bright and beautiful weather.
From far away, he saw a consort's palanquin, carriage or Sedan Chair approaching from all directions, slowly approaching the Pilgrimage Palace. To think that the scene would be so spectacular.
Turning his head to look at the Kuncheng Palace that stood side by side with his Pilgrimage Palace, he was filled with an indescribable sadness. No matter how weak the empress was, she still held the honor of being the king of all phoenixes, as well as the honor of being able to stand side by side with Xuanyuan and make history books.
And in the end, what can a concubine like me, who has received so much Xuanyuan love for so short a time, get?" Who would have known that there would be such a woman in the palace?
