Rebirth Of the Vicious Empress - C131
Because she had entered the palace to celebrate, Chu Qinghuan woke up very early, and by then, Ji Fengye would already be nowhere to be seen.
When Chu Qinghuan entered, she saw that Madame Song was currently wearing a first-class, first-class, formal gown. On it was embroidered with exquisite golden embroidery clouds and mist, and with a glance, she could tell that each and every one of the East Pearls was the size of a pinky, looking very neat and tidy.
“Greetings to Mother. I wish Mother a happy New Year.”
Madame Song was obviously not in the mood to listen to Chu Qinghuan’s praises. She merely waved her hand and said: “You sure are diligent, give Second Miss the red packet.”
Nanny Zhao immediately gave the red packet to Chu Qinghuan, obviously the red packet was not a complete one, but Chu Qinghuan did not mind. She was not looking forward to Madame Song’s reward for her life now, as she did not really care about the small amount of silver.
Madame Song turned her head again, to see Chu Qinghuan’s makeup, she was stunned. After a while, she said: “You sure can get that rouge.”
Chu Qinghuan gave a shallow smile and said, “Grand Princess had specially ordered the imperial aunt to make this for Qing Huan, as if she was afraid that the Qing Huan would embarrass the Imperial Family.”
Madame Song didn’t say anything more. After all, she was opposing Grand Princess, and even if he was given her ten guts, she wouldn’t dare to offend him.
When she looked again, she saw the string of pearls on Chu Qinghuan’s forehead and was startled, “Is this the Southern Pearl?”
Seeing Chu Qinghuan nod her head, Madame Song’s face darkened. There had always been a saying, “Western Beads are inferior to Eastern Beads, Eastern Beads is inferior to Southern Beads”. The strand of south pearl on Chu Qinghuan’s forehead had a pinkish white color, which served as the most contrast to her skin color.
Even an embroidered dress probably wouldn’t have such an effect … Thinking about that, Madame Song could not help but frown. How could her daughter not compare to Yun Jingchen’s daughter! It can’t be, she had to make the embroidery exceed Chu Qinghuan’s!
“Let’s go.” When he passed by Chu Qinghuan, the Madame Song laughed, “It should be better to take care of such precious clothes. If they are destroyed, it would be difficult to find a substitute for them.” Her voice was extremely soft, and other than Chu Qinghuan, only the Nanny Zhao could hear her.
However, Chu Qinghuan’s expression did not change, even the corners of her lips were curled up, as though she was invulnerable.
The imperial concubines and the unmarried princesses were all in-laws, while the married princesses and the wives of courtiers were the outermost wives. The Grand Princess was already talking about marriage, but in the end it was “unmarried and widowed”. Emperor Xuanwu doted on his daughter and naturally let her follow the rules of the wife to celebrate, after all, compared to the wife, the number of days when the wife was celebrating was two to three hours.
After all, it was the middle of winter and the cold wind was blowing in the first month. No matter how thick the clothes were, it would be tiring to stand outside for four hours.
Madame Song had already entered the palace with the other honoraries. This time, all of them nodded their heads at Chu Qinghuan, and even spoke a few words with him.
“Miss, is that the carriage from the Grand Princess Palace?”
Chu Qinghuan looked over and sure enough, there was a red lantern hanging in front of the carriage, with the words Grand Princess Palace written in large characters on it.
“You’ve waited too long. Come on up.”
Chu Qinghuan was startled for a moment before realizing that she had forgotten that the Grand Princess was a special existence that could be entered by carriage.
Dingguo Duke Xiao Yuanshan, eight thousand years old Ji Fengye, Grand Princess Huangfu Yunfeng, and Grand Princess was the only female out of the three.
“Of course not, the princess is in good spirits today.”
The Grand Princess smiled and couldn’t help but say while looking at Chu Qinghuan’s attire: “Looks like my eyesight isn’t bad all these years. As expected, this Southern Bead is the best match for your skin color.”
Chu Qinghuan laughed, “If Grand Princess wears it, it will be even more dazzling.”
Grand Princess smiled when he heard this, “You, your small mouth can please anyone who speaks of anything. But don’t be afraid, on the first day of the first month, Royal Father will not make things difficult for us. We will be able to return very quickly. Are your arms better? ”
felt slightly ashamed. The Grand Princess had truly treated him very well and he had hidden this from her … A little guilty.
“This palace has never been peaceful. You are a smart person, so protecting yourself is not a problem. However, this glory is all tied to the imperial power. Right now, the situation is very messy, so just be careful and do what you have to do. ”
The Grand Princess spoke without thinking, causing Chu Qinghuan to frown. This meant that she understood his own difficulties, and … She had to be careful, but who should she be careful of?
“Grand Princess has finally come. Cai Rong has waited for him … You are Chu Qinghuan? ”
The smile on the woman’s face disappeared, and when she saw the person who had walked down from the carriage, her voice contained a trace of anger. Just now, she had curtsied before this girl!
Liu Cairong, she’s finally back! In her memory, this face didn’t look different at all. That’s right, as the direct sister of the same mother as the current Empress of the dynasty, she was originally a proud daughter of heaven.
“Miss Liu, happy new year.”
Seeing that the other party was just nodding at him, Liu Cairong was immediately infuriated, “How dare you take the Grand Princess’s carriage without permission? “How dare you!”
Chu Qinghuan’s expression did not change as she reached out her hand. Liu Cairong thought that she was going to hit him and hurriedly dodged, but she did not feel anything amiss. Instead, she heard Grand Princess’s mocking laugh, “Miss Liu is still as elegant as ever.
Liu Cairong’s face immediately changed!
If the middle-aged woman heard these words, she would definitely think that Grand Princess was praising her. But Liu Cairong had now grown up for twenty eight years, and was still young.
However, compared to three years ago, in the end, Liu Cairong was not like how she was before. After hearing this, the color of her face changed for a short moment before she said, “Grand Princess still likes to joke with Cai Rong.
Grand Princess seemed to be puzzled, he looked at Chu Qinghuan and said: “What, could it be that my usual complexion isn’t good? Recently, Royal Father said that I am becoming more and more youthful. ”
~ Grand Princess is clearly going to fight with Liu Cairong, or could it be that Grand Princess is declaring war against Empress Liu?
Chu Qinghuan laughed, “How could Your Majesty be mistaken? The Grand Princess is so extravagant, Qing Huan could not help but fall in love with the Grand Princess just by looking at it. ”
“You talker!” Grand Princess laughed out loud. “Let’s go, let’s not delay the time of the celebration.” But he did not greet Liu Cairong.
Liu Cairong was stunned there, she then stomped her feet, a look of anger flashed past her eyes, she was already so lowly, but Grand Princess still went against her!
“Isn’t it just a princess who’s fiancé betrayed her country? What’s so good about that …”
“Miss, no!” The servant girl beside Liu Cairong turned pale with fright, and immediately covered her mouth, “Stop talking.” There were too many people in the palace, if Emperor Xuanwu found out, she was afraid that the young miss would be sent to the Liu Zhou.
Indeed, as Grand Princess had said, it was much easier for inner wives like them to congratulate Empress Liu and the empress dowager. However, couldn’t help but narrow his eyes when she saw Xian Consort standing amongst a group of concubines with her stomach puffed out.
“What’s wrong?”
Grand Princess followed Chu Qinghuan’s gaze and looked over. What Chu Qinghuan was paying attention to was Xian Consort, and she couldn’t help but smile: “It’s rare for Xian Consort to have this ability, the concubines in the palace have rarely gotten pregnant these past few years.”
After Huangfu Yunqian, it had been more than ten years since the last cry of a baby, and occasionally, an concubine would get pregnant, but in the end, all of them were small children.
Xian Consort was actually the strongest person in the past decade.
“Yeah, Song Family’s daughter has always been formidable.” The Madame Song, wasn’t she also the pearl of the old clam in the beginning? It was a pity that the old clam was getting on in years and was unable to wrap the pearl anymore.
The corner of Grand Princess’s mouth rose when he heard this, “That’s true, the daughters of Song Family are all extraordinary. In comparison, the Shoukang Count’s madams are inconspicuous, and are even inferior to her two younger sisters.”
Shoukang Count Madam, Song Lingyan?
In his impression, this was only the most ordinary woman. Her looks were ordinary, she rarely spoke, and the difference between her and the Song Family’s twin sisters could be said to be like heaven and earth.
“In the end, it’s just that the Shoukang Count’s wife doesn’t have the support of his mother. That Old Mistress from the Anping Marquis’s manor is really not a normal stubborn one.”
That’s right, Madam Zhao had already been dead for more than ten years, but the Grand Matriarch of the Anping Marquis, the Tian Clan, still seemed to be indifferent to her eldest granddaughter. If it was to give Song Lingyan some face, it was probably because of her brothers.
However, Song Chengping was about to return. He didn’t know how much support he should have for his younger sister.
When the people in the Kunning Palace had finished bowing and greeting, it was already less than an hour’s time. “The Empress has decreed that all of you are to go to the side hall for your meals.”
It was no wonder that the outsider woman had to wait so long for him to celebrate. He was indeed a man from the royal family that was reluctant to let him down. The corner of Chu Qinghuan’s mouth lifted slightly. Lowering his eyes, he saw that Xian Consort had touched her lower abdomen thoughtfully.
As expected, Xian Consort seemed to have deliberately stepped back. Seeing the smiles on the faces of Grand Princess and Chu Qinghuan, he said, “I was wondering why Qinghuan was so beautiful today.
Xian Consort’s words were spoken perfectly, and even the corners of Grand Princess’s lips lifted when she heard this. “Concubine Xian is too kind. The purple indigo embroidered Xiang Hua Dress coupled with this soft fur embroidered cloak makes it seem even more Concubine Xian’s style.”
Even though she was wearing six armors, she could still compare the beauty in the harem with a frown and smile. Even the newly promoted Jie Yu and Zhaoyi who were twenty years younger than the Xian Consort did not have the slightest bit of elegance.
How could he have learned it in such a short time?
Chu Qinghuan looked at Xian Consort’s swelled up stomach and said with a smile, “Qinghuan has heard that Empress has a little princess in her stomach, it’s truly a cause for celebration.
There was no news that could be concealed from the palace, so when Xian Consort heard this, she was not surprised at all. She only said with a gentle expression: “That’s right, I just hope that she won’t be as mischievous as Yu-er.
A gust of wind blew over, and the snow on the ground was swept up. Xian Consort, as if being blinded by the wind and snow, immediately used her brocade handkerchief to rub it.
“What, you like the handkerchief in Concubine Xian’s hands?”
Chu Qinghuan laughed: That’s right, the embroidery on the Empress’s handkerchief is really beautiful.
The Xian Consort smiled and replied, “No way, Ting Yu gave me this embroidery. She has always liked this.
“Then consider it as me asking Empress for a reward. When the little princess is born, I will definitely give her a proper present.” Receiving the brocade handkerchief from the Xian Consort’s hands, Chu Qinghuan sized it up with great pleasure.
However, Xian Consort was invited in. Seeing Ting Yu carefully support Xian Consort into the side hall, the corners of Grand Princess’s eyes flashed with ridicule. “What, is there a problem with this handkerchief?”
