Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

In order to please Concubine Qing, she specially used the silver from her dowry to prepare an exquisite gift.

She heard that Qing Fei came from the mountains and might be interested in new and interesting things in the capital.

Shen Yuming personally sent her to the carriage, which made Ye Qianyao feel very warm and almost cried.

This was the first time since they got married that he had shown such tenderness towards her.

At the same time, in Luoyang Palace, Ye Ziru was facing the mirror and letting the palace maid comb her hair. In front of her were all kinds of jewelry, making jingling sounds.

The maid operated very carefully, fearing that there would be any mistakes. However, due to excessive nervousness, her hands shook and she accidentally pulled Ye Ziru's hair.

Suddenly, the palace maid's face turned pale and she froze there, not daring to move.

But Ye Ziru simply picked up a golden phoenix hairpin lightly, with a smile on her face: "Don't just stand there, go ahead, wear this today."

What’s rare is that Ye Ziru was not angry about this and seemed to be in a good mood.

Because this day was the day to invite the ladies of noble families to attend the banquet, the entire Luoyang Palace Garden was decorated to be as beautiful as a sea of ​​flowers blooming in winter.

At the other end, Ye Qianyao followed the palace maid to Luoyang Palace, feeling uneasy. She knew she had to leave a good impression on Concubine Qing today.

"Ma'am, we're here."

After a moment, the maid stopped and said.

Looking up, Ye Qianyao couldn't help but be amazed by the huge scale of the palace in front of her.

"Madam, please come in." Hearing this, Ye Qianyao hurriedly stepped in.

For her, who came from an ordinary family and had never set foot in the palace, all this seemed new and nerve-wracking.

The interior decoration of Luoyang Palace is exquisite and elegant. Even in the cold winter, you can see flowers blooming, which shows that the gardeners have put in great efforts.

In order to please a new favorite concubine, Luoyang Palace was decorated extremely luxuriously, even more exquisite than the queen's residence.

Ye Qianyao stepped in and was surprised by everything she saw.

Bursts of laughter came from not far away, adding a bit of liveliness to the originally silent palace.

When she got closer, she saw a group of ladies of distinguished families gathered together, chatting and laughing.

Ye Qianyao couldn't help but get nervous. She swallowed quietly, and her palms began to sweat slightly.

"Mrs. Shen has arrived." A palace maid announced.

However, the wives present just glanced at it indifferently, without paying much attention, and continued with their topic.

This made Ye Qianyao feel very embarrassed.

Her marriage was not glorious and was once the subject of public discussion due to scandal.

Although a lot of time has passed, the shame still seems to follow me.

Restraining the bitterness in her heart, Ye Qianyao found a corner and sat down.

"Look at how beautiful that pearl hairpin is..."

"Indeed, I have never seen such a style in the capital!"

People around began to praise the ornament on a woman's head.

Sitting in the middle was a beautiful woman, who was the recently canonized Concubine Qing.

Its beauty is so unparalleled that even the surrounding flowers are overshadowed.

Ye Qianyao recognized the new favorite concubine. She thought: With such a beautiful face, it's no wonder she can receive such an honor.

At this moment, she was holding a small wooden box in her hand, which contained rare treasures that she had bought with all her dowry, hoping to win the favor of Concubine Qing.

But when she saw the priceless gifts presented by other ladies, she realized that her kindness might not attract attention.

At this moment, someone noticed the box in her hand and said jokingly, "I wonder what treasures Madam Shen brought. Can you show them to us?"

Suddenly, all eyes were focused on Ye Qianyao.

Her face flushed and she clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hands, almost tearing it to pieces.

"Take it out and let us see it!" Several ladies urged with a smile, their tone containing both ridicule and sarcasm.

Everyone knows that the Ye family is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and Ye Qianyao is obviously no longer the person who could stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

Faced with everyone's questioning, Ye Qianyao had to muster up the courage to hand the wooden box to Qing Fei, "Your Majesty, please accept my little gift."

A few chuckles came from the crowd. Qing Fei took the box and slowly opened it. Although the things inside were not valuable, they carried all of Ye Qianyao's thoughts.

At this moment, Qing Fei's eyes became complicated, as if she was recalling some past events.

The woman who was once so high and mighty has now fallen into such a situation.

She smiled slightly and said softly, "Mrs. Shen is really thoughtful."

Ye Qianyao suddenly felt relieved. She was worried that Qing Fei would be angry about this, but she saw that Qing Fei looked calm and didn't seem to care about the gift.

That simple sentence made her feel relieved.

However, this was not her purpose.

She came to please Qing Fei. If she continued to be indecisive, she would probably get nothing.

Thinking of this, Ye Qianyao put aside her face and began to use all her skills to praise Qing Fei openly and secretly. She would echo every word Qing Fei said with a few words of praise.

The ladies around her looked disdainful and unhappy, obviously very dissatisfied with her behavior.

However, Ye Qianyao ignored all of this. As long as she could win Qing Fei's favor, what did it matter what other people thought?

When appreciating flowers, she followed Concubine Qing closely, pointed at a blooming flower and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, look how beautiful this flower is, but even so, it is far inferior to your beautiful face!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone behind him looked at him with contempt.

Unexpectedly, Qing Fei seemed to enjoy such flattery. She nodded and smiled slightly when she heard the praise, and asked Ye Qianyao to accompany her.

After being encouraged, Ye Qianyao worked even harder to perform.

When the flower viewing was over, Concubine Qing turned around and said, "The weather is getting colder. Tea and snacks have been prepared in the palace. Please move and have a rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone thanked her in unison and then went to the main hall together.

At this time, Concubine Qing left Ye Qianyao alone and invited her, "Come with me. I specially invite you to taste tea."

Ye Qianyao was overjoyed, thinking that her efforts had finally paid off, and immediately responded, "Yes, Madam!"

However, Qing Fei showed a hint of sneer at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes turned cold, "I heard that you have a younger sister?"

"Your Majesty, that's indeed the case." Ye Qianyao replied.

"You two sisters serve the same king, you must have a very good relationship!" Qing Fei said coldly.

Ye Qianyao's body trembled violently when she heard this, and a hint of barely perceptible resentment flashed across her eyes, but she still pretended to be sad and said:

"That's true. Unfortunately, my younger sister died of complications during childbirth, and she couldn't even save the baby. Whenever I think of this, my heart aches like a knife. It would be so great if my younger sister were still alive!"
