The four consorts of Blessing Palace were all dressed up beautifully. Whether it was their clothes or jewelry, they enjoyed wealth and luxury. It was obvious that they were secretly competing with each other. At the very least, they wanted to beat the Crown Princess Consort.
"Really, she thinks she's so great just because she's the Crown Princess, and she still wants us to wait for her!”Tang Yunxiang couldn't help but complain in a low voice when she saw that there were no maids from the Blessing Palace.
"Yeah, I can't just sit and wait. It's so tiring.”Li Shuhuan said softly. Today, she was dressed in a peach-colored dress, which made her look very charming.
"Keep your voice down. It won't be good if the Empress comes in at this time!”Consort Sang Jingyi reminded him softly. Although she had seen some of the world, it was still better to be careful of the Imperial Palace.
Qian Yamei looked at them coldly without saying a word. Her beauty was far above the others. How good would it be for her to be the crown prince consort? It was a pity that fate was playing tricks on people.
"The Empress has arrived!"
Qingcheng finally returned to her palace. She sat down on a chair in the main hall. Looking at the four people in front of him, compared to the women from the Prideful Dragon Hall, they were more gorgeous and arrogant.
"Qian Yamei pays her respects to the Empress!" Qian Yamei took the lead to greet him." I didn't know that Your Highness was out of the palace. I've disturbed you. Please punish me."”The harem was like a battlefield. If one wanted to obtain the final victory, they had to be far-sighted. Before being doted on by the Crown Prince, the most important thing was to gain the Crown Princess's favor. Moreover, this crown prince consort was so ordinary. It was as easy as flipping his hand to obtain a certain position in the harem.
"It's fine. Get up." Qingcheng replied.
"Sang Jingyi pays her respects to the Empress!" Sang Jingyi's voice was sharp and she seemed a little unwilling.
"May the Empress be blessed!" Tang Yunxiang was unwilling, but she did not want to show it too obviously.
"Your Majesty, good luck!" The last person to greet him was Li Shuhuan. How could a person not lower her head under the eaves? If she was favored in the future, she would not need to fear the Crown Princess Consort.
From the first time they had met, Qingcheng had completely understood their feelings. It would be too tiring to bicker with them one by one. She was not the kind of woman who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. After all, she was the one who had inexplicably become the target of public criticism and the terminator of their path to the crown prince consort's throne.
Qingcheng gently raised her hand and said," There's no need to be so polite. Everyone was once a candidate for the Chuxiu Hall. You should come and go often in the future. Please sit down."”
The four of them sat down one by one, and Yi Qing and the others served tea.
Qian Yamei took a sip and said,"The fragrant tea in the Empress Palace is indeed delicious. It's sweet and refreshing."”
"If you like it, come to Blessing Palace more often. I have plenty of good tea here.”
"The Empress has to accompany the Crown Prince all day, so how could we dare to disturb her?" Tang Yunxiang said.”
"Yes, I am. Niangniang, from now on, we are sisters who will serve His Highness together. I hope that Niangniang will mention it more in front of the Crown Prince.”Sang Jingyi said,"Your Highness, Jingyi has prepared a small gift today. Please accept it!"”
Jingyi's maid Dan Qin handed over the gift and Qing Feng took it.
"Marquis Consort Sang is too polite." Qingcheng said.
"What gift did Sister Sang give? Can you open it for everyone to see?" Tang Yunxiang asked.
Li Shuhuan said,"No matter what gift she gives to the Empress, it's better than you coming empty-handed."”
"You!" Tang Yunxiang's face paled and she was furious.
"You what you, I also brought a gift for the Empress. Duo Er, present the gift to the Empress.”Li Shuhuan said.
Duo Er responded and presented the gift in her hand. This time, Ming Yue received it.
Qingcheng wasn't annoyed." It's good that you can come over to my place in the future. There's no need to give me gifts." Wind and Moon, open it."
Qing Feng was holding a white jade Guanyin statue while Ming Yue was holding a string of red coral beads.
"Empress, I fell in love with this string of coral beads when I first saw it. I felt that it was especially suitable for Empress. Whether it was the color or the size, they were all top grade.”Li Shuhuan said.
"Thank you very much." Qingcheng said.
"Empress is too polite." Li Shuhuan seemed very pleased with herself.
Sang Jingyi was unwilling to be outdone." Your Majesty, I've kept this White Jade Guanyin statue for many years. I'm giving it to you today. I hope you like it."”
"Good, everything is good." Qingcheng smiled.
"If one of you gives a Guanyin statue and the other gives a coral pearl, the Empress will definitely like my gift even more.”The one who spoke was Qian Yamei. It turned out that she had also brought gifts.
Qingcheng saw that they had come prepared, so she asked Happy Green,""Do we have any gifts?"
"Empress, you have sent hundreds and thousands of gifts for your wedding. I wonder what kind of gift does Empress want to give to the consort?”
"It's impolite not to reciprocate. Qingfeng, Yiqing, go down and choose a few pieces of high quality jewelry for the consorts.”
"Yes, Empress." Qingfeng and Happy Green left.
"Qian Houfei, what is your present?”Qingcheng asked.
Zhu Cui brought the gift to Qingcheng. Qingcheng opened the brocade box, and inside was an embroidery. She opened it carefully, and it was actually her portrait. It was very lifelike.
"Niangniang, are you satisfied with this gift?”"I personally embroidered it for three days just to give you this gift, Your Highness," said Qian Yamei.”
"You're really thoughtful." "Your embroidery skills are outstanding, and it's lifelike," Qingcheng said.”
"As long as the Empress can hang it in the hall, I am willing to embroider it for ten days and ten nights.”
"What kind of treasure does the Empress not have? Why would she care about your embroidery?”Tang Yunxiang said.
Qingcheng immediately understood Qian Yamei's motive. She was embroidering it for the Crown Prince to see. If the Crown Prince saw this embroidery, regardless of whether it was good or bad, he would definitely ask the embroiderer himself. This embroidery was not small. Compared to the Guanyin statue and the coral beads, it was much bigger and more eye-catching.
"The present is for Empress Yu. I think it's better for unrelated people to not talk too much.”Qian Yamei spoke neither lightly nor heavily.
"Alright, stop arguing. I like all of these gifts. I'll take them all and take them out when the time is right. Come, drink some tea. If you talk too much, your mouth will dry up.”
The four consorts could only lower their heads and drink tea. After chatting for a while, they all felt bored and said that they were busy. Qingcheng was also happy to be free, so she only ordered the four of them to deliver the gifts to them.
"Empress, why did you pass the congratulatory gift to them? They were clearly here to find out the truth.”There were no outsiders in the hall, so Qing Feng dared to say this.
"Silly girl, if Blessing Palace only accepts gifts and doesn't return them, I don't know how they will gossip behind their backs. Sigh, I can't help it! Flattery is not my forte.”
"Young Lady is the Crown Princess, how dare they? Aren't they afraid that you'll punish them for offending their superiors?”
"You're wrong to think that way." "Although they appeared to be friendly with me on the surface, I could see jealousy and unwillingness in their eyes," Qingcheng said. This was the palace, and danger lurked everywhere. There should be a lot of people eyeing me now, and there should be even more people who want to replace me.”Qingcheng had already seen through everything. It was precisely because I was not favored at the moment that they seized the time to stabilize their positions. Before they fell out with each other, peace was only temporary.”
"Miss, what a terrifying palace!”Qing Feng sighed.
"Yeah, we're already at the center of the vortex. It's easier said than done to get out!”
"Oh right, miss, has the crown prince been treating you these past few days?”Qing Feng did not dare to continue.
Qingcheng smiled." I understand what you want to say, but I'm still a virgin."”
Qing Feng covered his mouth and looked at Miss. He couldn't help but say,""But Miss, it will take a long time.”
"Yeah, I'm thinking of a way too.”Qingcheng said.
Ming Yue walked in." Empress, the imperial kitchen has sent someone to ask what you want for dinner."”
"Choose two lighter dishes and one or two fruits.”Qingcheng said.
"Alright, Niangniang, I will go and reply now.”Ming Yue hurried out.
"Niangniang, will His Highness the Crown Prince come tonight?”Qing Feng asked.
"I'm not sure. He didn't say." Qingcheng shook her head.
"Miss, this is your fault. He is your husband. How can a wife not know where her husband is?”Qing Feng couldn't help but scold him. After saying that, he felt that it was inappropriate and said,"I'm sorry, miss. I forgot your identity again.”
"It's fine. There are no outsiders here. Sigh, this place was really like a cage!”
"Miss, when will these days end?”Qing Feng wanted to cry.
"Now that things have come to this, let's drag it out for as long as we can. Fortunately, the Crown Prince still has four consorts and so many women from the Proud Dragon Hall.”Qingcheng clearly felt her heart ache when she said this. Which wife would want to give her husband to someone else?
It was time to eat.
"Empress, your dinner is here. Please eat.”Happy Green said.
Delicious dishes were placed on the round table. Qingcheng took a look and saw that it was quite sumptuous-there was stir-fried vegetables, ten thousand taels of gold (corn peas), steamed rose cakes, and a fruit platter.
Just as Qingcheng was chewing and swallowing slowly, a palace maid came in from outside the palace. She recognized it at a glance as Yuming, the maid of the Imperial Dragon Palace.
Yuming bowed and said,"Empress, His Highness the Crown Prince has invited you."”
That's right, they were still newlyweds.
Since the Crown Prince had invited her, she had no choice but to reluctantly make a trip to the Imperial Dragon Palace. As soon as Qingcheng entered the Imperial Dragon Palace, she saw her husband drinking with the Fifth Prince, Jin Yuxian.
"Qingcheng, you're here!" Jin Yuqi looked up at her and poured wine for himself and Yu Xian.
"Imperial Sister-in-law, Imperial Brother greets you!”Jin Yuxian stood up and saluted Qingcheng. After witnessing the courage of her imperial sister-in-law, he respected her greatly.
"Imperial Brother, there's no need to be so polite!" Qingcheng appeared to be very generous." It's rare for you brothers to get together. I'm an outsider, so I'm unnecessary."”
"Qingcheng, why would you say that? You're my wife, what's there to be shy about in front of your own little brother?”Jin Yuqi seemed very happy." Yuxian is not an outsider. How can you be considered an outsider?"”
"Not an outsider!" Jin Yuxian raised his wine glass." Royal sister-in-law, Royal brother cheers to you. We're all on the same side. There's no need to be too polite."”
"Come, cheers!" "Your sister-in-law doesn't want to drink, so I'll drink her wine for her!" Jin Yuqi said.”
Jin Yuxian looked at the two of them,"I really envy you two, you can fly together!"”
Jin Yuqi only smiled and did not reply.
Qingcheng, on the other hand, felt a little guilty. She looked at her husband, the man who had decided the fate of so many women. He had a handsome appearance and a flirtatious personality. At this moment, he had an indescribable bearing."Don't drink too much."
Jin Yuxian laughed loudly and said,"Imperial Sister-in-law, you might not know this, but Big Brother is known to not get drunk after a thousand cups. It's just two pots of good wine, so he won't get drunk."”
A thousand cups without getting drunk? Qingcheng was stunned. Was he pretending to be drunk on their wedding night?
At this moment, a palace maid came in to report that someone was visiting the Fifth Prince's palace. He could only drink a cup of wine and leave in a hurry.
