It had already been half a month since he returned to the palace. The Emperor had been staying in the Phoenix Palace every day. Everyone said that the Emperor favored the Empress and the concubines in the palace came to pay their respects to her every day. This had never happened before. The people here were really fickle and hypocritical.
Yue Yinshuang sat elegantly on the phoenix couch, looking at the group of concubines kneeling below with disdain, a mocking smile hanging on her lips.
"Get up and sit down." She forced a fake smile and waved her hand to signal them to get up.
"ChenQie thanks the Empress." The orderly and loud voices echoed in the palace. Then, everyone stood up and sat on the seats on both sides.
In the Snow Wing Kingdom, concubines were divided according to the size of the land they owned. The Empress lived in the largest place known as the Palace, and it was the only palace in the Imperial City that was equivalent to the Emperor's Palace. Next to them were the 'courtyard',' courtyard','pavilion', and' floor', which were all symbols of status.
"What's the matter, sisters?" Her sharp eyes stared at the concubines sitting on both sides. She casually picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and then put it back on the table.
They sat upright, but no one answered.
Yue Yinshuang sat there elegantly because she believed that someone would stand out, and that person would definitely be very dissatisfied with her.
After all, in the past half a month, the emperor had often come to her Phoenix Palace and stayed overnight every night. The things he rewarded were even more extraordinary. If she said that they were just playing chess every night, no one would believe her. Instead, they would think that she was showing off, so she never explained anything.
After the game, he would hug her to sleep. Other than that night in the cave, he really didn't do anything to her.
Sometimes, they would go to the Stargazing Pavilion and lie down to look up at the stars in the sky, talking about astronomy.
The palace was a place of trouble, scheming and scheming. Even if you treat others sincerely, others will say that you are hypocritical and pretentious. One had to know how to protect themselves here, or else they would not have a good ending.
When she was in Ziyue Kingdom, she had lived such a life. She was always on guard against others. It didn't matter if others hurt her because she had trained herself to be strong enough. She was afraid that others would hurt her mother.
"Reporting to niangniang, because I remembered that ever since niangniang entered the palace, I didn't come to greet you, so I brought gifts to apologize to niangniang.”The Honored Lady of Chenghuan Garden stood up. Her voice was like an oriole leaving the valley, striking everyone's heart.
"Oh?" Yue Yinshuang's smile deepened. This person's scheming wasn't deep enough. It seemed that he was easy to control.
"Hand it over." Honored Lady Hong gave her personal maid a look, and the maid came forward with the gift box in her hands.
Following that, many concubines also sent many gifts. She only smiled and accepted them. In fact, she did not want to accept them, but she did not want to fall out with them now.
"Little sisters, bengong is tired, you can go back first.”She pretended to be tired and waved for everyone to leave.
After they left, she called Jin Xiu over and said that she wanted to take a walk in the Imperial Garden. Every day, besides paying respects to the Empress Dowager, she was in her Phoenix Palace. She was really bored. She heard that the Imperial Garden of the Snow Wing Nation was famous far and near.
Jin Xiu and Ruyi followed behind her and soon arrived at the imperial garden. The flowers were blooming here, although the lotus flowers in the big pond in the garden were not in full bloom. The surrounding rockery formed a beautiful scenery with mountains and rivers.
There was a pavilion in the middle of the pool, with mahogany railings and high-grade sandalwood tables and chairs. It emitted a very pleasant fragrance. The breeze lifted the gauze hanging around the pavilion, making it look like a fairy.
A figure was leaning against a railing somewhere. She was looking at a pool of spring water with her hair blown by the wind. When she got closer, she was a peerless beauty, but her eyes were covered in a layer of gray.
"Niangniang, that's Yi Fei Niangniang of the Rippling Orchid Courtyard.”Ruyi whispered in her ear.
It was said that this person had been in the palace for two years and was very favored before Yue Yinshuang came. Murong Lingxiang was also very generous to Yi Fei. If she had anything she wanted, he would definitely send someone to find her. It could be seen that she still had a certain position in his heart.
"Younger Sister Yi Fei is in a good mood, but why is your face so worried?”She stood outside the pavilion and raised her eyebrows at the woman in front of her.
"Greetings, Empress." Consort Yi was not surprised at all, as if she had already guessed that she would come.
"Rise." Yue Yinshuang sized up Yi Fei carefully. She knew that this was not a simple person. Although she hid it flawlessly, Yi Fei's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and hatred.
