Concubine Mei returned to Yulin Palace almost as if she had gathered her courage. No matter how much Luo Ya tried to persuade her, she refused to listen.
"Humph, she, Mo Yunxiu, is just the daughter of a merchant family, yet she dares to be so presumptuous in the palace!”Mei Pin said angrily as she looked at Luo Ya." Granny, tell me, how can there be such an unruly person?"”But the emperor is willing to let her kneel to whoever she sees, what can you do? Besides, she's from a merchant family. Aren't you also the daughter of a seventh-grade official?
" Your Highness, you might as well relax," said Loya softly." Even if you don't think for yourself, you should think for the prince in your womb."”Sigh, it was said that the master was instigated by a servant. Why didn't I teach you to be a low-key silver?
Upon hearing the word " prince," Mei Pin's eyes immediately lit up." That's true. I'm pregnant with the Emperor's first prince…" Her eyes darted around." If it's really a prince, would I be afraid that the Emperor wouldn't favor me?"”
"Granny!" She suddenly stood up excitedly and held Luo Ya's hand." Tell me, if I give birth to a prince, will the Emperor make him the Crown Prince and me the Empress?"”In the huge Tianqi Dynasty, the young Emperor Chongxi did not have an empress for a long time. Although he was just thinking about it, if others heard this, the consequences would be quite serious. Luo Ya couldn't care less about Mei Pin's agitation and immediately covered her mouth with her hand.
How did this guy change so quickly?
Luo Ya's lips twitched as she looked at Mei Pin, whose face was contorted with excitement. She suddenly felt that she would never be able to return to that innocent and naive time. Was the vigilance she had during this period of time enough to turn her from an innocent girl into a man-eating ghost? Then, he would be like Consort Ru and the others, vicious and merciless?
Luo Ya's body trembled. She suddenly felt that why was it so cold today?
"Granny, what are you thinking?”Mei Pin was a little impatient and said in a fit of pique.
Luo Ya came back to her senses and suddenly smiled." Your Highness, go and rest. You've had a tiring day today. Tomorrow, you still have to attend the banquet in the Imperial Concubine Zhen's Zhaoyang Palace."”
Seeing that Concubine Mei wanted to ask more, Luoya calmly said," It's not something we can guess who the Emperor wants to appoint as the Empress. Your Majesty, you just have to keep your position. There's no need to think about anything else."”When she reached the door, she turned around and said," Besides, it's not good for the child to think too much.”
Concubine Mei finally calmed down after being persuaded. However, the dream of ascending to the highest position had not been extinguished. Instead, it had become more and more vigorous.
****************
Because there was no Empress in the palace, Concubine Zhen was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the rear palace. Concubine Zhen belonged to the Lin family and Concubine Ru belonged to the Ru family. They were two major factions that weighed the pros and cons. The reason why the Emperor let Consort Zhen be the leader and Consort Ru be the assistant was that Consort Ru was usually too arrogant and despotic, and was not calm enough.
Since she was the head of the harem, Consort Zhen still had to put on some airs.
Take the banquet on the second day as an example. Consort Zhen had her own small kitchen in Zhaoyang Palace. She said that the dishes here were delicious and wanted to invite her sisters to gather. But to put it bluntly, Consort Zhen only wanted to put on airs in front of everyone and let the new little masters and arrogant concubines know that she was the head of the harem. However, she had always been virtuous, so most people still felt that she was amiable. Otherwise, the Emperor would not be at ease to hand over his harem to her.
Concubine Mei and Luo Ya had already dressed up. Concubine Mei was especially happy today. She wore a light yellow palace dress and a matching accessory on her head. From the looks of it, she looked pretty and cute. Looking at how happy Mei Pin was, Luo Ya really couldn't tell her to be careful. Where there was a banquet, there was bound to be a situation. 'So, I have to be more careful,' Roya muttered to herself.
By the time they arrived, there were already more than ten young girls dressed in luxurious clothes in Consort Zhen's Bright Sun Palace. Most of them had palace maids or nannies behind them. Only Concubine Mei brought Luoya alone.
At this moment, the Bright Sun Palace was filled with laughter and joy. If this wasn't the palace, but a 21st century class, Loya would probably be drooling and saying, Wow, there are so many beautiful girls in this class. The boys are lucky!
Consort Zhen sat at the head of the table, wearing a bright red brocade robe. Her hair was actually combed into a phoenix ruyi bun. Looking at her dress, she probably really thought that she was the Empress. Although the concubines present were all smiling, most of them secretly glanced at Consort Zhen from the corner of their eyes. There was more or less disdain in their eyes.
Sigh, this was the imperial palace. If these girls were to go to the modern era, they would probably be new celebrities. Look at their acting skills!
After ordering everyone to take their seats, Consort Zhen first gave an opening speech. However, the weather today was really good. Everyone looked healthy. Let's start eating next.
During the meal, Consort Zhen did not forget to sweep her gaze over Consort Mei's body many times, especially her stomach. The other concubines also followed her gaze. After that, he said something magnanimous and fake like," My sister's stomach is really good. Our royal family finally has some blood." Mei Pin, on the other hand, did not think much of it. She was holding her stomach and gently complaining to Luo Ya that she was hungry. Luo Ya looked at the innocent Mei Pin and suddenly felt disappointed.
Just as Consort Zhen announced that the dishes were to be served, a palace maid suddenly appeared outside the palace door.
"This servant pays respects to all niangniang, niangniang is a thousand years old!”The little girl knelt on the ground and greeted the masters. Then, she raised her head as if she had something to report.
Concubine Zhen deliberately looked at the palace maid carefully. Then, as if she had suddenly realized something, she said," Ah, so it's the green cherry from Cui Mo Palace. I was just thinking, why can't I see Sister Mo?!"”
When everyone heard this, they all felt disdain. The masters who came today all had some status. Mo Yunxiu, the young master of Cuimei Palace, was not worthy of coming to such a place because she had the lowest status in the palace. However, Consort Zhen had repeatedly sent invitations to Cui Mei Palace. Coincidentally, Mo Yunxiu of the Cuimei Palace didn't give her any face at all. Every time she was invited to a banquet, she would say that she was not feeling well. Sigh, this was what it meant to want to curry favor with someone, but stick your warm face to their cold buttocks.
Everyone looked at Lü Ying who was kneeling on the ground. They guessed that she was going to say that her master was not feeling well again.
" It's like this," Lü Ying said unhurriedly." Yesterday, the Emperor spent the night in Cuimei Palace. Consort Zhen, you know about our little master's health.”After pausing for a while, Lü Ying continued," When I woke up this morning, I felt dizzy and unwell. Therefore, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend Consort Zhen's banquet today.”
See, he was right. Everyone looked at Consort Zhen mockingly, waiting to see how she would end this.
Consort Zhen's eyelids were twitching with anger. If it weren't for her ladylike image, she would have ordered people to capture that little bitch Mo Yunxiu! He was arrogant because of his favor! Originally, she had invited Mo Yunxiu because she felt that the Emperor doted on her so much. If she could win her over, it would be beneficial to her. Who knew that this Mo Yunxiu would not give him face at all. And every time, there was the emperor backing her up!
Pretending to be calm, Concubine Zhen suddenly laughed and said to Lvying,"Go back and tell your master that your health is more important."”
That was it?
Luo Ya, who originally wanted to watch the show, was a little disappointed when she heard Consort Zhen's words. No matter what, he had to throw a tantrum or fly into a rage. Now, he was dismissed with just a sentence.
"Sister Zhen is really a prime minister. If it were me, I would have long ordered people to slap others.”A lazy and charming voice sounded. This person was Ru Fei. Her meaning couldn't be clearer. If it were her, she wouldn't put down her status to curry favor with a little concubine. Consort Zhen didn't know how to reply to Consort Ru's words. Just as she was fuming, a young girl in light blue clothes appeared.
This person looked like Shui 'er. This was the first impression that Luoya had of her.
Her facial features were very light, just like those hand-drawn eyebrows in modern times. However, it did not make people feel that it was plain. Instead, it gave birth to a different kind of beauty. At this moment, she lightly opened her red lips and said,"Why don't Sister Zhuang and I play a song to liven things up before the banquet begins?"”Her voice was also very gentle, as if every word and sentence was filled with the fragrance of orchids.
As soon as she said this, Consort Zhen's mood slowly calmed down, but her hatred for Mo Yunxiu did not diminish at all.”As soon as Consort Zhen finished speaking, a young girl stood up from the other seat. She gave a look to the palace maid behind her. The palace maid understood and soon presented a zither.
It seemed that the next step was the talent show.
The hall gradually quieted down. Concubine Zhuang, dressed in white, sat in front of the zither. Her fingers were playing the strings agilely, probably tuning it.
This Concubine Zhuang gave Luo Ya a very cold feeling. It wasn't that he felt that she was cold and arrogant, but he felt that such a peerless beauty, even if she was smiling, still made people feel that she could only be looked at from afar and not played with. This was a living hibiscus.
With the teasing of Concubine Zhuang, the elegant sound of the zither slowly spread across the hall like ripples in water. Although she could not understand the song, she felt comfortable listening to it. The main reason was that the summer was too hot. Hearing this kind of zither music was like blowing an electric fan.
After Concubine Zhuang's tune entered a state of focus, the previous one, who should be called Mu Zhaoyi, cleared her throat and started singing. He didn't know it from her words, but now that she was singing, he really felt that it was the sound of nature. In the modern music industry, Luo Ya liked Faye Wong very much. Her voice was ethereal and pure, making people feel that it was a kind of enjoyment. He didn't expect that Concubine Zhuang's voice was so similar to Faye Wong's. Was she Faye Wong's previous life? Luo Ya even had the whimsical thought that this guy had transmigrated from Faye Wong?
The song was very short, probably because they had not eaten yet, so they deliberately chose a short song.
After a while, pleasant laughter and applause rang out in the hall. Mu Zhaoyi and Concubine Zhuang returned to their seats. Concubine Zhen smiled and praised," In my opinion, the Emperor doesn't need to spend so much effort to arrange any palace musicians. The performance of Concubine Zhuang and Mu Zhaoyi can be said to be " this song should only exist in heaven "."”
Thus, everyone laughed harmoniously again. Consort Zhen then ordered people to serve the snacks and dishes that had been prepared long ago.
