Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Concubine Undresses for Your

Majesty

“Your Highness, please think about it carefully. If Concubine Xian wants to vie for favor, she is challenging me. By challenging me, she is challenging delicious food. By challenging delicious food, she is challenging you. Can you tolerate this?”

Concubine Jin remained silent for a moment, then stood up, “I shall return to my palace.”

“Eh?”

“I suddenly remembered that today is the day the Emperor usually visits the elder concubines in the harem.”

“Great, great, great!” Jiang Ning revealed a smile and clapped her hands, “Go back and dress up beautifully. Outshine those vulgar concubines in the harem! Dazzle His Majesty the Emperor!”

“With my natural beauty, I am already stunning.”

With that aloof voice, the stunning beauty with a natural appearance gracefully left.

Concubine Xian soaked herself in a bath filled with rose petals, creating a fragrant floral scent.

From head to toe, she carefully applied fragrant cream, not missing a single inch of skin.

Each strand of hair was coated with osmanthus oil.

She powdered her face, outlined her eyebrows, applied rouge, and attached yellow flowers. Th.ê most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

Combing her hair, she inserted numerous pearls and jade ornaments.

She changed her clothes, wearing the peach pink dress that the Emperor loved the most.

It took her a whole day to get ready meticulously.

She didn’t dare to eat a single bite during lunch, fearing that eating too much would cause her painstakingly tied waistband to break.

When evening came, estimating the time was almost right, she sat down to wait eagerly.

Finally, at dinner time, she heard a voice from outside.

“The Emperor has arrived—”

Concubine Xian’s spirits were lifted. She immediately stood up with the help of her maid’s hand and asked, “Fu Liu, how do I look?”

The maid smiled, “Your Highness looks great, very beautiful. His Majesty will surely be delighted.”

Concubine Xian adjusted her hair bun and walked delicately to the door, where she bowed gracefully, “Allow me to pay my respects to Your Majesty.”

The Emperor came by only as a routine and planned to leave after a short while, but he first smelled a rich fragrant scent and then noticed Concubine Xian wearing a vibrant peach pink dress.

He smiled and said, “I haven’t seen you wear this color in many years.”

“I remember Your Majesty once said that you liked to see me wear this color the most, as it complements my skin tone well.”

“True, your skin is the most fair in the palace.”

“Your Majesty, please come inside and sit down; I’ve prepared your favorite tea.” Concubine Xian looked up as she said this.

Her make-up was bright and vivid, and her jewels sparkled brilliantly.

The Emperor was momentarily stunned, laughing, “Concubine Xian looks different today, as if we’re back to thirty years ago.”

Feeling somewhat shy, Concubine Xian touched her cheek and whispered with downcast eyes, “I have aged.”

“My beloved concubine has not aged at all.”

The Emperor reached out his hand, guiding her into the room.

The fragrance within was also intoxicating.

Without realizing it, the Emperor stayed for a bit longer. Concubine Xian laughed, “I have ordered my servants to prepare dinner. Why don’t you join me for a meal, and spend the night here, Your Majesty?”

The Emperor looked into her charming, sparkling eyes and was reminded of her youthful and lovely appearance. Unable to resist, he nodded, “Very well.”

Concubine Xian felt a surge of joy inside her.

After the maids set up the dinner, Concubine Xian served the Emperor, and the two prepared for bed.

With some wine in him during dinner, the Emperor’s gaze on Concubine Xian grew heated.

Her heart pounded with a mix of excitement and anticipation.

As the two sat on the edge of the bed, Concubine Xian whispered, “Allow me to undress you, Your Majesty.”

Just as her hand touched the Emperor’s collar, a eunuch’s voice came from outside, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty.”

Concubine Xian frowned.

“What is it?” asked the Emperor.

In such a situation, the eunuch wouldn’t dare to intrude without urgent matters.

The eunuch hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician was summoned to Splendid Palace.”

“What?”

The Emperor instantly stood up, “What happened to Concubine Jin?”
