"Good! I promise you!" Situ Chenyan frowned and was silent for a while before he spoke.
Sensing Situ Chengyan's hesitation, Mu Xiyan laughed at herself. Situ Chengyan was lying to her. She said she didn't care, but which girl didn't care about her first time? Mu Xiyan also wanted to be with someone of one heart. She wanted to give her best to that person. However, Situ Chengyan disappointed him…
Ye Mingjin stood in front of White Jade Palace and listened to Flowing Maple's report. He frowned.
"Palace Master, Mu Xiyan seems to think that the Emperor favors her.”Flowing Maple said as he stood behind Ye Mingjin.
"Is that so?" Ye Mingjin sighed softly.
"Palace Master, don't worry. This subordinate saw it for real. It's the blood left behind by the Emperor cutting his own arm.”Flowing Maple seemed to sense Ye Mingjin's disappointment and quickly added. It seemed that Mu Xiyan was the Palace Master's Achilles 'heel.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. Mu Xiyan! You're so silly!
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the consort selection. Situ Chengyan had been going to Zhenhe Palace every day for the past few days. Mu Xiyan did not mind since the bed was big. However, whenever Situ Chengyan wanted to do something to Mu Xiyan, Situ Chengyan would inexplicably fall asleep. This made Mu Xiyan very puzzled.
"Yan 'er, the beautiful women are entering the palace today. You must be the empress.”Situ Chenyan said patiently.
"Alright, I understand." After swallowing the last mouthful of hibiscus crisp, Mu Xiyan replied," Today, I'm going to choose a mistress for my husband." Mu Xiyan felt sad from the bottom of her heart. It was a great sorrow to meet such a husband. If her first time was still there, she would have left directly. Anyway, what use was there for such an unfaithful man? Now, she was a ruined flower. Leave? No way! He had to make Situ Chengyan take responsibility!
"Zhen will go to Zhaoyang Palace first. Yan 'er, change into a formal suit and come quickly!”Situ Chengyan watched Mu Xiyan finish her last bite before speaking.
"Yes." Mu Xiyan replied.
Mu Xiyan frowned as she watched Situ Chengyan walk out of the palace. She let the palace maid dress her up. After a long time, she heard someone say," Your Majesty, it's time to go to Zhaoyang Palace." Mu Xiyan then came back to her senses and walked towards Zhaoyang Palace.
Situ Chenyan and the empress dowager were already seated in Zhaoyang Palace.
"Lady Zhen Fei has arrived!" The eunuch reported, and the female cultivators who were in the middle of their audience hurriedly retreated to the sides and knelt down to pay their respects.
"ChenQie greets Empress Dowager, greets Emperor.”Mu Xiyan led a group of palace maids to Zhaoyang Palace and bowed to the Empress Dowager and Situ Chengyan.
"Beloved consort, rise and sit beside zhen.”When Situ Chengyan saw Mu Xiyan, he smiled. The beautiful women kneeling on the ground unconsciously looked up at this woman who was rumored to be the Emperor's only concubine and the Emperor's most beloved woman.
A dark purple muslin mattress dress with a layer of light purple muslin draped over it. She had her hair combed into a noble upside-down bun, secured with a jade hairpin, paired with two golden earrings and a pair of golden butterfly-shaped earrings. She had light makeup on, and her eyes of two different colors were looking ahead with a faint smile on her face. At this moment, she was enough to charm all living beings!
After hearing Situ Chengyan's words, Mu Xiyan walked to the empty seat without hesitation.
"Consort Zhen has worked hard serving the emperor these few days. Aijia looks like she has lost some weight. Is this how you serve your master?" The Empress Dowager looked at Mu Xiyan's unhappy face and said angrily in front of everyone. She was determined to stabilize Mu Xiyan's position in the harem.
"This servant doesn't dare." Hearing the Empress Dowager's anger, the palace maids around Mu Xiyan quickly knelt down. All of this shocked the beautiful girls who were still standing on both sides of the hall. They did not expect Consort Zhen to be so favored by the Emperor and Empress Dowager!
"Empress Dowager, ChenQie is only slightly unwell in the palace for the first time, it's not that the servants can't serve her well.”Seeing this, Mu Xiyan quickly relieved the people in the palace. She was speechless. Mu Xiyan herself felt that she had gained two pounds, but the Empress Dowager said that she had lost weight…
"Forget it, get up. Your son will help Consort Zhen pick some capable palace maids.”Situ Chenyan said," Continue!”
When the ladies heard this, they quickly stood up and walked past Situ Chenyan.
"The Great General's daughter, Su Wanyu, fifteen years old.”
"This commoner greets the empress dowager and emperor. May the Empress Dowager and the Emperor be in good health." Following the eunuch's report, a gentle and quiet woman in a dark green dress walked out.
Situ Chenyan took a look and asked,"I heard that the general's daughter is both talented and beautiful. She really lives up to her reputation.”
"My father taught me since I was young, so I know a little about zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.”Su Wanyu replied.
"The Great General is the pillar of the country and has taught his daughter well.”the empress dowager said.
"Stay!" Situ Chengyan said.
"The Prime Minister's daughter, Shangguan Zining, sixteen years old!”
"This commoner pays her respects to the emperor and empress dowager! May the Empress Dowager and the Emperor live a long and healthy life.”Shangguan Zining bowed.
"This widow Zining is very assured. If I stay by the emperor's side, I will definitely serve the emperor well. Keep it!" The Empress Dowager said hurriedly when she saw Shangguan Zining.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Shangguan Zining kowtowed and thanked him.
The number one beauty of Nan Yu? As expected, it lived up to its reputation. However, compared to Yan 'er, he seemed to be a little lacking.
In the end, just as Mu Xiyan was about to yawn, Situ Chengyan finally finished his selection. In the end, six were retained. As expected of the emperor, all of them were very outstanding.
Then, Situ Chengyan wrote down an imperial edict.
"The Emperor has decreed that there are many virtuous and virtuous people in this selection. I am very gratified. I have specially conferred the title of Fifth Grade Noble to the daughter of the Prime Minister, Shangguan Zining, and she will live in the Hall of Virtue. General's daughter Su Wanyu is five noble people, live in Xiangqing Hall; Zuo Yanru, the sister of Zuo Shangshu, was a sixth-grade talent and lived in Chunhua Palace. Zhang Yurou, the daughter of Zhang Shilang, was a seven-grade official and lived in Jiqing Hall. Xing Dudu's daughter Xing Liuyue Ren is seven Chang Zai, living in Jiqing Hall; Governor Liu's daughter Liu Li Chun for the eight products agreed, live in the happy night pavilion. Enter the palace today! Respect this!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord." The six of them knelt in front of the Emperor and kowtowed.
After dealing with all the trivial matters in the morning, it was time for lunch. Mu Xiyan walked towards the Zhenhe Palace alone. She wanted to ask Situ Chengyan to come along, but Situ Chengyan said that he still had state affairs to deal with, so he asked Mu Xiyan to return to the palace to have lunch first. He would come back to accompany her when he was free at noon.
Suddenly, Mu Xiyan saw a familiar figure in the distance. It was Situ Qirui!
"All of you can leave, bengong wants to walk alone.”Mu Xiyan ordered.
"Yes, sir!" After dismissing the crowd, Mu Xiyan quickly ran to catch up with Situ Qirui.
