The Royal Highness - C18
The Emperor reached out his hand to her in a few steps. She could feel the anger in the letter, but she didn’t look at it. She just picked it up and folded it, that was all.
“Chenqie remembers all of them,” the woman replied.
Even if he was a sovereign, so what?
Outside the bedchamber, Qingya had sent the Emperor back. The young palace maid in front of the door asked her, “Yun mama, are we still going to wait for the Emperor to come?”
“All of you can leave. The emperor won’t come tonight, and tomorrow the six palaces’s emperors will come to meet the empress. All of you need to keep your spirits up, don’t lose face for the empress.” With these words, Xiao Ya dismissed most of the palace maids. When she arrived at bedchamber alone, she saw Xiao Yu still kneeling on the bed, as if quietly waiting for the arrival of the Emperor.
“Empress, go to sleep. The emperor won’t come tonight.” Qing Ya knelt beside the bed and said gently, “The emperor has ordered this servant to ask you to sleep alone.”
The girl nodded. She didn’t even feel relieved or disappointed. It was as if she had just ended a trivial matter. She smiled at Qing Ya and laid down on the bed.
“Empress …” Although Qingya had opened her mouth, she didn’t know what to say.
“You should go to bed early as well.” She smiled gently and closed her eyes. She was tired, and the tiredness from the past few days had yet to completely disperse. She did not know what unforeseen events would occur in the future.
The’s lights gradually extinguished, and the Night Pearl once again sank to the bottom of the tai-fluid pool. The most brilliant light rays seemed to never last for very long, but what was puzzling was that after the Emperor became angry, he ordered Zhou Huai to summon the six divisions and the Minister of the Cabinet to meet it.
When he took the letter and left again, he would no longer be going to the Hall of Announcements. It was Qingya who did not dare to tell the empress that the emperor had gone to the Palace of Peace again.
He did not know what big thing had happened in the Qiang Shui Guan, but the Emperor’s anger was instantly suppressed. He might have some long-term plans, but no one knew if he had any intentions of leaving when he returned.
In the morning of the next day, the empress dowager knew that the six palaces would formally present herself to the empress today. Therefore, the people of upper yang palace were fully focused. The inside and outside of the main hall were swept clean, and the majestic throne of the dragon and phoenix shone even more brightly than usual.
Because of the haste of the wedding, the empress’s clothes were made from the clothes of the empress who had rushed to work overnight. Today, the empress was dressed in the same kind of uniform, and the ladies were very worried that the size they had estimated would not fit the empress’s size. They waited upon the empress to put them on, but they didn’t know if it was due to their own skill or the size of the empress’s body that the clothes were tailored for her.
As they slowly arrived, all the concubine s respectfully bowed: “Imperial Concubine Su is blessed.”
The Consort Shu supported the servant down her shoulders, her tiredness obscured by her exquisite makeup. The Emperor stayed with her for two consecutive days, but she still had to take care of the two year old little prince under her knees. Furthermore, she had to arrange a feast for the Longevity Palace tomorrow as well.
What made her feel even more uneasy was that the emperor had been very violent the night before. However, he had a cold expression on his face the night before and didn’t say a word. She had spent a lot of effort, but all she could do was fall asleep.
The bright sun shone down on the tai-fluid pool, the sparkling light was dazzling, and people couldn’t help but narrow their eyes to see clearly where the upper yang palace was. Now that all the concubine s were here, they wanted to climb the bridge together. They had personally seen this mysterious and magnificent Hall stand up from the tai-fluid pool, but no one had ever stepped onto this island.
Suddenly, Qiu Miner came and became the mistress of the place.
In the imperial harem, there were changes made according to the previous dynasty’s system. From the Empress to the concubine, they were all divided into nine stages.
The empress dowager, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the beauty, and so on. Regardless of whether it was those from the Jizhou’s palace or those who had obtained a reputation in the past three years, the emperors’ women were not few, and the imperial harem was always bustling with activity.
