The Royal Highness - C13
Normally, if she wore purple, it would also be indigo or purple and other such solemn and noble hues. In comparison, with her age and status, it was obvious that she wore a cyan colour, making her look a little more ethereal. The delicate colors didn’t match her temperament, but she knew that she would meet the eighteen-year-old queen here.
“What are you angry about?” Xiang Ye stopped the Consort Shu, “Since we are the ones who asked you to do this, who would dare to doubt you? Even if the Queen Mother were to stand in front of you, I would still explain it to you. ”
That bottom line which Consort Shu had always been cautious and did not dare to step on, was now being stepped on without restraint. Of course she was afraid, she was acting on her feelings, not because she was not afraid of the wrath of the Emperor.
Consort Shu hurriedly said, “Yes, chenqie has yet to properly pay her respects to you, but esteemed wangfei remembers chenqie.”
He turned to look at the emperor with an indifferent expression, “Mother ordered me to come take a look. I don’t know if the emperor has already given the Qingming Pavilion a ride, but with the emperor present, I have ordered my concubine to ask the emperor if mother wishes to hold another banquet at the Longevity Palace in order to celebrate the grand marriage between concubine and the emperor.”
The emperor’s expression was dark as he turned his face away and asked, “Imperial Mother, do you mean … or do you mean …?”
“In reply to the emperor, it is mother’s wish.”
When the two of them came back, they were calm and collected. Consort Shu watched on from the side and felt that it was strange. This empress was very strange. From the events of the morning, she seemed to be out of place in this palace, and now facing the emperor, she didn’t even have a smile. Which woman in this palace didn’t want the emperor to look at her?
However, they couldn’t find anything wrong with the empress. At least, in Consort Shu’s eyes, no one could compare with the beauty in the palace.
“Consort Shu, you have been in charge of everything in the palace. I have entrusted you with the banquet at the Longevity Palace.” Without waiting for the emperor’s reply, she said to the Consort Shu, “No need to be so extravagant. The Queen Mother said that she just wanted to have a gathering with her family.”
Consort Shu smiled as she replied. She thought that the Little Empress had held onto his mother-in-law the moment he entered the door, but her mother-in-law was simple and kind. If it was anyone else, it wouldn’t be difficult to deal with her.
Suddenly, he heard the emperor say coldly, “The wedding isn’t worth celebrating. It’s just a family banquet, so there’s no need to say anything.”
