On a cold winter night, the sky was pitch-black. Heavy snow fell with the howling north wind, turning the entire Huixuan Pavilion into a silver-white world. It was snowing again. The tired moon hid in the clouds to rest, leaving only a few stars behind as if they were on sentry duty.
The room was filled with warm air, and the smell of Styracin wafted in from time to time. I tossed and turned, staring at the red Sharman with my eyes wide open, but I felt even more awake.
"Not used to it?" My sister turned to me and said," Did I wake you up? Yeah, a little." I also turned to look at my sister." Sister, how did you and brother-in-law get married? Could it be that it was also the parents 'order and matchmaking?”I asked carefully.
"No, Xuan He wasn't like this at that time.”My sister seemed to be reminiscing about something from a long time ago, but nothing could hide the smile on her face. I knew that they were once happy, but now they probably wouldn't have thought of it when they vowed to each other. Perhaps it was power or something else that changed them.
"Sister, brother-in-law still has you in his heart.”I said to my sister seriously," Maybe.”The smile on the elder sister's face suddenly disappeared." Rest early. Tomorrow, we have to prepare for the New Year. And the Emperor…" The elder sister closed her eyes as if she was saying to herself.
The air was still filled with the Styrax, carrying the aura of death, making it difficult for people to breathe. I slowly closed my eyes.
When I woke up the next day, my elder sister was no longer by my side. I knew that my elder sister had gone to work again. Next to me was a set of clothes that I had prepared, neatly placed at the foot of the bed. When I opened it, it was a red embroidered phoenix, a pink silk skirt that dragged the ground. The outer layer was a soft green sand, and the outermost layer was a half-long fox fur coat. Next to the clothes were silver tassels and a golden jade butterfly arched hairpin. Cai 'er came in with a silver basin,"Little Master, let this servant dress you up."”
Seeing my puzzled look, Cai 'er explained,"Li Shang went back to bring your things over, so let this servant serve little master."”I nodded.
Cai 'er's technique was very skilled, and it was obvious that she had served me for many years. She combed my hair into a high bun, but because I hadn't reached the age of adulthood yet, I naturally couldn't do it like my elder sister. Cai' er cleverly left behind a few strands of long hair, and pressed a row of braids at the back. She put a white pearl flower on my ear, and a silver tassel at the back of my head. Finally, she helped me put on a golden jade butterfly arched hairpin.
"It's really beautiful." Cai 'er was full of praise. I looked at myself in the mirror, and indeed, I was startled. Such luxurious attire was to set off the wealth and splendor of the Imperial Family.
Surrounded by two mothers and four servant girls, in front of them was the palace's guiding granny, with an overbearing attitude. He finally saw his sister and the other concubines standing respectfully beside his highness.
Before long, the sound of bells and drums could be heard, followed by the sharp voice of a eunuch." The Emperor has arrived. Everyone kowtow."”"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live.”I knelt down with the others. I raised my head slightly and saw a man in his fifties surrounded by a group of princes.
"Rise." The hearty laughter carried an insurmountable majesty, and everyone stood up in unison.
The arrangement of the seats was strictly in accordance with the rules, so Eighth Prince and I sat on the left side not far from the front. I didn't dare to look up. The colorful clothes made me nervous.
I was in a daze about what happened after that until I heard that familiar smile again." Qin girl is here too?”It was the emperor who asked in a dignified manner. Sister hurriedly pulled me and everyone's eyes immediately turned to me.
I hurriedly got up and knelt down." Greetings, Your Majesty."”I lowered my head, not daring to look around. "Ha, since when did this girl know the rules so well? She's really grown up.”Without a doubt, I raised my head, but I didn't dare to look directly at the emperor, this majestic king.
"Yes, it's marked quite a lot. It's less fierce and quiet when it was young. Murta taught it well. My daughter has never become so good.”I lowered my head in gratitude. I knew that there were countless gazes around me that wanted to kill me, especially when I heard the following sentence. I almost fainted.
"The first selection is coming in these three years. It's the age for Qin Hua to enter the palace.”It seemed like a dignified and skilled concubine said, I can't believe it. Entering the palace? What did he mean? I looked embarrassed and was still in a daze after returning to my seat. At this moment, I felt a burning gaze. I looked over and saw Xuan Qi looking at me with a sad expression. However, he quickly turned around and continued talking to the kings beside him.
