"How dare you!" Lady Jade shouted.
"Enough!" Ling Xiaoyi couldn't take it anymore and finally spoke.
"My two beloved concubines, quickly report the woman who has been chosen as the consort to zhen.”Ling Xiaoyi changed the topic and stopped pursuing the matter.
"Yes, sir! ChenQie obeys the decree." Consort Xian and Consort Yu bowed. Then, the two of them whispered a few words, and Consort Xian said,""Replying to the emperor, in my opinion, Dong You, Wan Ruyi, Mo Yun, Chu Daiyan, Yang Linyu, Su Ruwan, Yan Yu, and Liu Ziyang can all be consorts.”Consort Xian said unhurriedly.
Damn Lady Jade, you know that I favor Wenren Mei, but you didn't choose her! Ling Xiaoyi thought.
That's exactly what I want.
Ling Xiaoyi's expression was complicated as he stood up and paced back and forth. Then, he sat in front of the table and drafted the decree.
"Eunuch Chen, announce the decree." Ling Xiaoyi passed the imperial edict to Eunuch Chen.
"Ladies, accept the decree! The emperor issued an edict saying: Among the three thousand beautiful women, there are Wan Ruyi, Chu Daiyan, Mo Yun, Yan Yu, Liu Ziyang, Dong You and Su Ruwan. They are dignified, virtuous and beautiful like immortals. I like them very much. I specially granted Wan Ruyi the title of the fourth grade Shunyi and lived in the Ruyi Hall. Chu Daiyan was granted the title of a fifth-grade noble concubine and lived in the Misty Rain Pavilion. Feng Mo Yun as a fifth-grade noble concubine, living in the Condensing Cloud Pavilion; Feng Yanyu for Shu five good instrument, live in the instrument Qing Pavilion; Liu Ziyang was granted the title of Jieyu from the sixth grade and lived in Qinxin Pavilion. Dong You was granted the title of a seventh-grade noble and lived in Youlan Pavilion. Su Ruwan was granted the title of a seventh-grade talent and moved into Huayun Pavilion. Respect this!"
"Thank you, Lord!" The seven people who were chosen knelt down and thanked him.
This is great. I can leave now. I hope that Dong You will not be bullied in the harem in the future. Goodbye.
Ling Xiaoyi had been staring at her, but she didn't even react to the fact that she hadn't been consort. Did she really want to leave so badly?
Everyone was shocked by the result. Why was Miss Wenren not selected despite having the golden Lady Token? Why was it like this? If the Emperor didn't like her back then, why did he give her the Golden Lady Token?
"For those who have not been consort, please return to Chuxiu Palace first. If you intend to stay in the palace, you can meet the eight kings after they enter the palace in three days. If any of the kings take a fancy to one of them, they will enjoy endless glory and wealth.”Eunuch Chen added.
"Yes." The other beauties and I bowed and left.
Chuxiu Palace.
"Yo! Wasn't this Lady Wenren? So what if she got the golden token? Wasn't it the same if the Emperor didn't take a fancy to him?”I turned around and saw that it was the woman who stood behind Wan Ruyi that day.
"Get lost." I said lightly and turned back to my room.
"B * tch! You dare to scold me? Now that Sister Ruyi has been conferred the title of Shunyi, I will definitely make her teach you a lesson!”
"With just her? The two of you combined can't even do it." I said disdainfully.
"Humph! Today, only seven beautiful women were conferred titles. Sister Ruyi is a fourth-grade official. The Emperor must love her the most. We were afraid of you a few days ago, but now you are nothing! "I'll definitely let Sister Ruyi take care of you," she said proudly.
"Alright, go ahead. I'll wait." After I finished speaking, I ignored the clamoring orange-robed woman and turned to leave.
"Lian 'er and Ye' er." I called out.
"Miss." The two of them quickly ran over.
I took out my suitcase and handbag. I took out two identical hairpins from my bag and handed them to them."This is for you. I will be leaving the palace tomorrow. Thank you for taking care of me with all your might these past few days.”As I spoke, I helped them put on their hair clips.
"Young miss, although young miss was not chosen today, there will still be a chance three days later. Who knows, there might be a prince who will take a fancy to young miss.”Ye 'er consoled.
"No, I don't want to stay in the palace. I just want to leave the palace. I have other things to do. I've made up my mind.”I said with a smile.
" Miss..." Lian 'er and Ye' er looked at their master with reluctance. This was the best master they had ever met. He did not put on airs, did not show off, and treated them like little sisters. He even sat at the same table as them when they ate. Ever since they entered the palace, they had never served such a good master. Their reluctance to part immediately revealed itself.
If even a good woman like the young miss wasn't conferred the title of consort, who else could be conferred the title of consort?
Ling Xiaoyi was sitting in front of the table, silent and not saying a word. He heard from her maid that she would be leaving the palace tomorrow. What should he do with her? How could he make her stay?
At noon, I was packing up when Lian 'er and Ye' er suddenly brought in two maids dressed like palace maids.
" Miss Wenren, the Emperor has decreed that you come with us," one of the servant girls said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"This servant doesn't know. Please come with us.”
What can that kid do to me? Forget it. Anyway, it's fortunate that he thought it through today and didn't choose me. I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'll go and say goodbye to him.
"Alright." I replied,"Lian 'er and Ye' er, pack up my things, that bag and box. Put them in your room first, then clean my room carefully."”
"Yes, Miss."
"Let's go." I said to the two girls who were leading the way.
Along the way, I followed the two girls in front of me, but I realized that this didn't seem to be the way to Chaoyang Palace.
"Aren't we going to Chaoyang Palace?" I wondered.
"Replying to miss, the emperor is waiting for miss at the Jade Night Hall.”
"Oh, okay." Jade Night Palace? Never heard of it.
Soon, we arrived at Jade Night Hall.
"Miss, please follow us." The two girls said to me.
As soon as I stepped into the door, I heard the sound of the door closing behind me.
"What are you doing?" I turned around and saw six guards hurriedly closing the door and standing in a row.
Outside Chaoyang Palace.
"Eunuch Mu!" Lian 'er whispered. She waited at the corner with Ye 'er for about an hour before she saw her fellow countrymen come out.
Eunuch Mu turned around and saw Lian 'er waving at him. He looked around before walking towards Lian' er.
"Sister Lian, what is it?" Eunuch Mu was puzzled. Wasn't she in Chuxiu Palace? What were they doing here?
"Brother Mu, the emperor has asked Miss Wenren to come for more than six hours. When will Miss return to Chuxiu Palace?”Lian 'er asked.
"What is it? The Emperor invited Miss Wenren to Chaoyang Palace? Miss Wenren isn't in Chaoyang Palace. I've been serving the emperor until now, but I've never seen the emperor invite Miss Wenren, nor have I seen the emperor with Miss Wenren! What happened?" Eunuch Mu said in surprise.
The two of them were shocked when they heard that. Where did the young lady go?
"At noon, two palace maids came and said that the Emperor had sent Young Lady to go. Young Lady followed them and hasn't returned yet. Ye 'er and I came to inquire about the news. "Lian 'er said.
"Is there such a thing? Someone actually dared to pass on a fake imperial edict!" Eunuch Mu said in shock.
" What should we do now? Where did Miss go…" Ye 'er couldn't help but cry. Would something happen to Miss?
Eunuch Mu thought for a while and then instructed the two,""Go back to Chuxiu Palace first and see if Miss Wenren has returned. I will inform the Emperor!”
