Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

When everyone in the harem heard that the Imperial Concubine was going to hold a flower-viewing banquet and that His Majesty would be in person, they were all very excited and did their best to dress up.

In the early morning of the imperial palace, the concubines from various palaces were busy.

They carefully selected gorgeous clothes and took out their most beautiful dresses, which were gorgeous and colorful.

In order to shine at the flower-viewing banquet, the concubines put in a lot of effort.

Some had already been in the embroidery room two days ago, rushing to make new clothes. As the needle moved, beautiful flowers gradually blossomed on the silk; others carefully selected pearl hairpins and ornaments to dress themselves up to be more bright and charming.

The entire palace was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere, as if a silent contest was going on.

They pondered every detail over and over again, and every move was full of anticipation.

They hope to attract the emperor's attention and show their beauty and grace at the flower viewing banquet. This is not only a flower viewing feast, but also a stage for them to compete for favor and status.

The morning sun shone through the window into the Zhongcui Palace, and Concubine Jiang was trying on new clothes with great interest. She looked carefully in front of the mirror, and each piece of gorgeous clothing shone brightly on her.

Concubine Jiang was wearing a lake blue brocade dress, which was embroidered with exquisite silver thread patterns and inlaid with pearls on the collar and cuffs, making her look elegant and generous. She turned gently in front of the mirror, admiring every detail of the dress, with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Your Majesty has only come to my palace a few times. Today I am able to see Your Majesty again. Qing'er, take out the headwear that you have kept at the bottom of the box to match my brocade clothes." Concubine Jiang looked at herself in the mirror happily, hoping that His Majesty would look at her a few more times.

"Yes, I'll get it right away."

Linglongfang.

Concubine Sun wore a pink silk dress with embroidered blooming peonies on the hem, which was bright and eye-catching. She wore a gold hairpin inlaid with gemstones and tied her hair up, which made her look more noble and dignified. She adjusted the position of the hairpin in front of the mirror from time to time to ensure that every angle was perfect.

There was a faint fragrance in the bedroom, and palace servants were serving on the side.

"Xiao Si, what do you think of this dress of mine? His Majesty will be here tonight, so I must choose something nice. Will His Majesty like it?" Concubine Sun looked at herself in the mirror, a little hesitant.

"Of course it is beautiful. Your Majesty looks as charming in this pink dress as the peach blossoms in March." Xiao Si answered sincerely.

Although Her Majesty's appearance is not as good as that of the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine Yan, she is still one of the most beautiful in the palace. Otherwise, why would His Majesty invite Her Majesty to sleep with him?

Concubine Sun smiled, her face flushed, her face was as rosy as a peach, so pretty.

"Well, just wear this one, fumigate it with scented powder, and wear this at night." Concubine Sun stood up and took off her dress, instructing Xiao Si.

Xiao Si stepped forward to help her master undress. "Yes, I will do it myself later, don't worry, madam."

In the Qiluo Pavilion, Xu Xiaolan was concentrating on choosing clothes.

She understood that beautiful clothes were not the key, but women dress up to please themselves, and she longed to appear in front of him in the most beautiful posture.

She carefully examined each piece of clothing, her fingers gently touching the soft fabrics, feeling their texture and grain. With anticipation flashing in her eyes, she imagined herself wearing these dresses, hoping to show her charm and style.

Xu Xiaolan carefully selected a light-colored embroidered palace dress, the hem of which fluttered gently, as if carrying a hint of fairy spirit.

She remembered that he liked light colors.

In Cuichen Palace, Concubine Gao snorted with disdain after hearing the news.

"They all think they can throw themselves at Your Majesty just because of their looks, but they don't even realize that they are worthy. With me here, will they ever be able to succeed? Those two bitches have only served you in bed a few times, but they can't tell their own status anymore. If it weren't for me, they would never have been able to serve you in bed in this lifetime. Humph." Concubine Gao looked at her delicate face in the mirror with a look of disdain on her face.

"Of course. Your Majesty is the most dignified and beautiful in the palace. No one can compare to you." Lanxiang was doing Concubine Gao's makeup behind her and exclaimed sincerely.

In Yaohua Palace, Shen Yanyan practiced martial arts for a while, then took a bath and lay on the couch to read a storybook.

When Dongxue came in from outside, she saw Shen Yanyan lying on the couch in an extremely comfortable posture, reading a storybook and laughing.

"My queen, aren't you in a hurry?" Dongxue sometimes wondered who her mistress's personality was like. The master and the mistress were not like that. The eldest and second young ladies were also well-behaved. She wondered who the third young lady's personality was like.

"What are you in such a hurry for?" Shen Yanyan asked casually without even raising her head and continued reading the storybook.

"This morning, the ladies of the palaces began to choose clothes and jewelry early in the morning. They were preparing enthusiastically, all wanting to make a good impression in front of His Majesty."

"How about I show you the dresses that the Clothing Bureau sent a few days ago, and you can choose one." Dongxue stepped forward and said.

Shen Yanyan glanced outside and said, "It's still early. I'll choose later. Let me take a look at this first. Hahaha." Why choose clothes so early in the morning? Can't I just take my time to choose when I go there later?

"My queen, you'll know which one looks better only if you try it." Dongxue suggested persistently.

"It's okay, don't worry, you can take your time to choose later. Go down, Dongxue, I'll finish reading the story first." Shen Yanyan looked at the anxious Dongxue and comforted her!

Dongxue looked at her master's indifferent expression, sighed, and retreated.

Shen Yanyan, who had been lying down for a whole day, looked at the sky outside. She felt that it was almost time, so she prepared to wash up and go to the Imperial Garden.

"Bring the clothes here for me to see." Shen Yanyan saw Dongxue carrying out a whole box of newly made palace dresses and preparing to choose a dress.

Dongxue quickly opened the box and placed the clothes inside on a tray one by one for Shen Yanyan to choose.

Shen Yanyan looked at the various exquisite palace costumes and felt a little dazzled.

These clothes are beautiful in their own way. The craftsmanship of the palace is really good.

Shen Yanyan stopped in front of a purple palace dress and touched the material. It was very good.

"That's it. Just pick any headgear with similar colors." Shen Yanyan said nonchalantly.

In such occasions, you can't be too low-key or too high-profile, just about right.

Shen Yanyan took her clothes and went behind the screen to change. Dongxue took out a set of light purple mother-of-pearl headwear, placed it on the dressing table, and prepared to help Shen Yanyan with her makeup.

After changing her clothes, Shen Yanyan walked to the dressing table, looked at the purple headdress, nodded, and said it looked okay, not flashy but very delicate.

Dongxue combed Shen Yanyan's hair into a knot and put on a complete set of headwear. Shen Yanyan watched herself transform from a disheveled person to a graceful and elegant lady, and she repeatedly praised Dongxue's craftsmanship.

"Dongxue, you are quite skilled. Look at this head. After you tinkered with it, I instantly feel very dignified, and with this set of headwear, I look elegant and graceful." Shen Yanyan was very satisfied with Dongxue's craftsmanship.

"You are beautiful, Madam. You look best even in casual clothes." Xia Zhu looked at Shen Yanyan in a purple dress with a look of amazement. The young lady is so beautiful, but it's a pity that she doesn't like to dress up. Such a beautiful face is wasted. Now, if she dresses up casually, it is enough to amaze everyone.

"Little girl, you just need to say this here. Don't say this outside." Shen Yanyan smiled and didn't blame her.

"Let's go to the Imperial Garden. Both of you should follow me today. I'm afraid it won't be peaceful today." Shen Yanyan sighed. She really didn't want to go, but there was nothing she could do.

When the three of them arrived at the Imperial Garden, Shen Yanyan was shocked by what she saw.

The vast garden was full of flowers, colorful like brocade, exuding charming fragrance. The surroundings were decorated extremely beautifully. Lanterns were hung high to illuminate the open space. There were many chairs and tables arranged on the open space. Two rows of fist-sized night pearls were installed on the street lamps on both sides. The light of the night pearls was like silver light, illuminating this beautiful garden. There was a round stage in the middle of the open space, on which were placed three or four plates of epiphyllums that were about to bloom.

Looking at the beauties in the imperial garden, Shen Yanyan finally understood what it meant to be more beautiful than flowers. Even the blooming flowers would pale in comparison to these women in the harem.

In the imperial garden, the concubines were dressed in exquisite costumes, each one was unique and beautiful.

Their clothes are colorful, just like the flowers blooming in spring, delicate and beautiful.

Some concubines chose fresh and elegant outfits, mainly plain-colored dresses, with simple hair accessories, showing a gentle and demure temperament;

Some prefer a delicate and bright style, wearing gorgeous clothes, heavy makeup, and showing their charming style in every gesture. Everyone hopes to attract the attention of His Majesty at the flower viewing banquet and leave a deep impression in order to gain His Majesty's favor and favor.

Some wore gorgeous silk, embroidered with exquisite patterns, sparkling with dazzling light; others wore fresh and elegant gauze skirts, fluttering in the wind, like fairies descending to the earth. These concubines were either charming and charming, or pure and elegant, or noble and elegant, or gentle and lovely, each of them had a unique charm.

The flowers in the imperial garden were originally vying for beauty, but they seemed to pale in comparison with these concubines.

Their beauty is like a blooming flower, exuding a charming fragrance that makes people intoxicated. Their every frown and smile is full of charm, as if they can make time stop. In the beautiful scenery of this imperial garden, the concubines are like a colorful painting, which is pleasing to the eyes and unforgettable.

Shen Yanyan was dazzled by everything in front of her. She felt it was a visual feast. In the past, when they went to pay their respects, everyone was very ordinary, but today they dressed up with all their might, and they should be more beautiful than each other.

Beautiful women also like to see beautiful women, not to mention that there are countless beautiful women in front of them. Shen Yanyan sighed that Xiao Jingzhan was so lucky to see so many beautiful women every day. If she could see so many handsome guys, her face would probably be broken with laughter.
