After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn
Chapter 18: Greetings from all Palaces
"Good work."
Everyone came to the main hall and sat down in order according to their status. The head of the left was naturally Concubine Rong Murong Yue, followed by Zhaoyi Xi Muyao. The head of the right was Concubine Feng Feng Qingyi, followed by Zhaorong Shen Aoning.
Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning have known each other since childhood and are as close as sisters and have a very good relationship.
It was the first time for everyone to come and pay a visit to the Queen, and they were all dressed up gorgeously.
Murong Yue was wearing a light yellow cloud-mist shirt and a long skirt that trailed on the ground. Her hair was combed into a fairy bun, her eyebrows were lightly drawn, and she wore a little makeup, making her look extremely bright and beautiful.
Feng Qingyi was dressed in a light purple palace dress, looking graceful and elegant, with a wide skirt winding behind her. She wore a hollow peacock gold hairpin on her head, showing her luxury.
Xi Muyao was wearing a light blue palace dress with plum blossom petals embroidered on the hem of her skirt. She had a jade hairpin pinned diagonally on her bun, with long silver beaded tassels adorning her hair. She had a light powder on her face, looking elegant and fresh. Her eyes were like water, with a hint of coldness, as if she could see through everything.
Shen Aoning was wrapped in a light pink gown with a pearly white pleated skirt. She had long, curved black eyebrows and a pair of bright eyes, exuding a charming aura.
Other beauties, each with their own beauty, charming, cool and noble...
"The Queen has arrived!"
Everyone stood up to greet her. Zheng Xiyan was wearing a red floor-length gown embroidered with a lifelike golden phoenix that was about to fly, showing her elegance and grace. Her hair was combed into a five-phoenix bun, with phoenix pearl hairpins inserted diagonally on her temples, and golden hairpins with phoenix saliva tassels adorned below. Her eyebrows were embellished with golden peony flowers, adding a bit of charm to her appearance.
"Your humble concubine/your humble concubine pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."
Zheng Xiyan walked between them, and Biluo helped her sit down on the phoenix throne.
Zheng Xiyan raised her hand casually and said, "No need to be polite, everyone."
"Thank you, Queen."
Everyone stood up and sat down. Zheng Xiyan spoke calmly, "You are all new concubines entering the palace. This is your first time to pay respects to the emperor at Weiyang Palace. Now you are all concubines with status. From now on, it is your duty to serve His Majesty well and give birth to a son for His Majesty."
"Yes! I will remember the Queen's teachings."
"Once you enter the palace, you are all sisters. Serving His Majesty is what you should do most. If you have other thoughts, neither I nor His Majesty will let you off easily. Do you understand?" Zheng Xiyan said in a serious voice with a flash of coldness on her face.
"Yes!"
Zheng Xiyan glanced at them all and whispered, "I don't have anything else to say, so you guys should take care of yourselves!"
"Yes!"
As soon as Zheng Xiyan finished speaking, Feng Qingyi said, "Your Majesty is right. We will serve Your Majesty well and help you solve your problems."
"What Concubine Feng said is right." Zheng Xiyan smiled slightly and looked at her meaningfully.
Feng Qingyi said quickly: "I will definitely not let your Majesty down."
Everyone sat for a while, drank tea, ate cakes, and Zheng Xiyan felt tired. "I am pregnant and very tired, so I won't keep you here any longer."
Everyone had no choice but to get up and leave immediately. "I'll take my leave."
Zheng Xiyan was even exhausted. Biluo came forward and asked, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
"Nothing, just a little tired." Zheng Xiyan looked a little unhappy and shook her head.
"You haven't had breakfast yet. I'll ask someone to serve you the meal." Biluo said hurriedly.
"Ah."
After the concubines left Weiyang Palace, Feng Qingyi followed behind Murong Yue, walked forward, and said in a flattering manner: "Sister Rong, when I entered the palace yesterday, I wanted to visit you."
"Okay, stop acting in front of me." Murong Yue sneered and looked at her with disdain, looking down on her.
"Sister Rong, why do you say that to my sister?" Feng Qingyi looked aggrieved.
The two of them knew each other before the audition and had met at many banquets in Shangjing City before.
"Don't act in front of me. I don't want to bother with you right now. I'll go back to the palace first." Murong Yue quickly pushed her away and wiped her nose with a handkerchief with some disgust.
Feng Qingyi's eyes suddenly became sharp and she glared at her viciously, but it was only for a moment because she was afraid that others would see her.
Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning passed by her, knelt down to salute, and then left hand in hand.
"Sister Xi, I heard that Concubine Feng came to Weiyang Palace as soon as she entered the palace yesterday to pay her respects to the Empress." Shen Aoning said in a low voice.
Xi Muyao sneered and covered her mouth with her hands while laughing: "It's obvious that she is trying to curry favor with the Queen, but she is really stupid enough to not know the rules."
"Alas! But who can blame me for having a father who has made great military achievements?"
"The General of the Cavalry is really something. He insisted on sending her to the palace. He is really..."
"She is the legitimate daughter and the most favored by the General of Cavalry. If she wants to enter the palace, the General of Cavalry will definitely agree." Shen Aoning curled her lips. Feng Qingyi gave people the impression that she was a little stupid.
"Let's go! We'd better have less contact with her." Xi Muyao said expressionlessly.
"Sister is right."
Inside the Weiyang Palace, Biluo served Zheng Xiyan breakfast, "Let's leave!" Zheng Xiyan said after wiping her mouth.
"Yes!"
"Your Majesty, you don't look well." Biluo said with some concern.
Zi Rui hurried forward, felt her pulse, and said, "Your Highness is fine. This is how some pregnancies are."
"I'm going to sleep for a while." Zheng Xiyan was very tired and exhausted.
"it is good!"
Zheng Xiyan slept until noon, and she was still sleeping when Xiao Xuanchen came.
Xiao Xuanchen sat on the bed, Biluo bent over and whispered beside him, "Your Majesty, it is said that pregnant women are most prone to sleepiness."
"I understand, you can leave!" Xiao Xuanchen looked at Zheng Xiyan with a complicated look mixed with some strange emotions.
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Biluo bowed and left, guarding the outer room.
Seeing her sleeping, Xiao Xuanchen fell into deep thought, a little absent-minded. After a moment, he murmured softly: "Don't blame me, I don't want this to happen either."
As soon as the voice fell, Zheng Xiyan woke up. She heard it, but pretended that she didn't hear anything. She opened her eyes dazedly, looked at her tenderly, and said in a soft voice: "When did Your Majesty come?"
Xiao Xuanchen was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and replied with a smile: "I have just been here for a short time."
Zheng Xiyan moved slightly, and lay on his legs like a kitten, clinging to him like a little bird, and rubbing against him, "I am very happy that Your Majesty can come to see me."
Xiao Xuanchen smiled slightly, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared instantly. He put his hands on her back and said with a smile: "Then I will come to accompany you more often in the future."
"But now there are so many concubines in the palace, and they are all beauties. I am pregnant and cannot serve you in the emperor's bed. Your Majesty will inevitably favor them." Zheng Xiyan had a jealous expression on her face and her eyes were full of resentment.
When Xiao Xuanchen heard this, for some reason, he did not feel angry or dissatisfied. Instead, he was very happy to see her like this.
Xiao Xuanchen leaned over and whispered in her ear, his voice deep and magnetic: "Are you jealous?"
"Can't I be jealous?" Zheng Xiyan raised her head and pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Of course you can. It's good to be jealous. Be more jealous in the future." Xiao Xuanchen's eyes became doting. At this moment, the two of them seemed like a really loving couple.
"Your Majesty~They have all entered the palace. Is Your Majesty going to favor them and summon them to sleep with you?" Zheng Xiyan tugged at his sleeve, blinking her lively eyes and looking at him with an innocent and aggrieved look.
This made Xiao Xuanchen a little overwhelmed. He actually wanted to agree to her request and not favor her and hurt her feelings.
Before Xiao Xuanchen could respond, Zheng Xiyan said dejectedly, "I shouldn't think like this. How could I think like this? Your Majesty, it's all my fault. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"
Zheng Xiyan herself didn't expect that she was such a good actress.
Xiao Xuanchen held her little face and said, "I'm not angry. I'm so happy. I'm not going anywhere tonight. I'll just come to Weiyang Palace to accompany you, okay?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Xiyan hugged him and leaned in his arms, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
