The painting fell into deep contemplation, and even the tranquil elegance began to feel nervous.
Is it true that as Shen Huan said, it is absolutely impossible to be alone in the harem?
Seeing that they were each thinking, Shen Huan stood up and said, "I have something to do there, so I won't stay any longer. I hope you take good care of your health. Let's go to Meixia Garden to appreciate the peony. The peony there is very blooming." pretty"
When Shen Huan returned to Shangyang Palace from Jingyi Palace, Xichen met her and said, "I just made a decree to restore Pei Zhaoyi as Concubine Pei. What do you think?"
Shen Huan replied expressionlessly: "I dare not speak nonsense about the emperor's will." Then a thought flashed through his mind, and he raised his head uncertainly and asked: "Is the army going to conquer the west going back to the court?"
Xichen laughed and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, that's right! The Western Kingdom has submitted a ceasefire, and you will see General Shen soon after the army returns to the DPRK."
"General Shen?" Shen Huan asked with narrowed eyes.
"Well, Shen Lan was indeed brave and extraordinary on the battlefield. General Pei received many praises in his memorial. When he returns to the court, I will make him the second-grade General of the Western Expedition!"
Shen Huan pursed her lips and said nothing. After his brother came back from an expedition, he became General Zhengxi, and he was appreciated by General Pei. I wonder if the direction of the wind would suddenly change? Shen Huan seemed to have noticed that the original members of Prime Minister Shen's party, Just about ready to move
Not long after the decree was issued, Concubine Pei personally came to Shangyang Palace to express her gratitude.
Today she is wearing a violet gauze dress with wide sleeves and fluttering skirts. Ruo Xingyunzhong wears an eight-treasure gold walking wave on her head, and a five-tailed phoenix with a emerald bead hairpin on her side. Her makeup is exquisite, and her gait is gorgeous and she is born to be extremely beautiful. The appearance, because of the joy, looks even more outstanding
When she knelt down to thank her, she was wearing a jingle ring on her body. There was a sound of pearls and jade colliding. Then Shen Huan noticed the beautiful jade necklace on her waist and couldn't help but smile.
Xichen signaled her to stand up and said: "My father is of great use to our country, and you act with great care in the harem. How could I not know that I made you suffer injustice some time ago, and now that you have been restored to the position of concubine, you can educate and educate the eldest son of the emperor?"
Concubine Pei thanked her and said, "I would like to thank you for your kindness. I will definitely live up to your hard work."
When he got up, he caught a glimpse of Shen Huan behind Xichen, and the faint smile hanging on her lips. The originally proud mood was somehow filled with a hint of displeasure. But thinking about it, he was the only general of General Pei after all. The daughter is also the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son. Now she has resumed her position as concubine, so she no longer has to argue with a little imperial minister. Therefore, she is calm in her heart and looks at Shen Huan with a sense of pride.
"Your Majesty, the peonies in Meixia Garden are in full bloom. I am planning to invite several sisters from the harem to enjoy the flowers together in a few days. I wonder if Your Majesty will have time to attend the banquet?" Concubine Pei asked with a smile.
Xichen said: "I'm afraid I won't have time, so you should entertain others yourself. Pang Guiren has been wronged. Remember to invite her, which can be considered as comfort."
A flash of sharpness flashed in Concubine Pei's eyes, and it was fleeting, but she still smiled and said: "What the emperor said is absolutely true. Even if the emperor didn't say it, I would have arranged it this way."
Xichen nodded and said: "That's good, you go down, I still have something to do."
"Yes, I will retire."
On the day of Concubine Pei's banquet, Xichen found Shen Huan after the court and asked Xiao Shizi. Xiao Shizi smiled and said, "Master Shangyi said that Concubine Pei was hosting a banquet, so he went to join in the fun."
Xichen thought: Shen Huan is no longer the one who likes to join in the fun. What purpose must he have, or is he afraid that Pang Guiren will be suppressed again? Knowing this in his heart, he took care of the things at hand and went to enjoy it.
At this time, in the Meixia Garden, more than a dozen beauties in palace costumes were walking in the courtyard, admiring the flowers, the flowers reflected people, and they were wearing red makeup and competing for spring with the flowers.
Peony is the king of flowers, while peony is the most important flower. Wealth and honor are the second best.
Normal peonies bloom in April, but the peonies in Meixia Garden are still fragrant and blooming in May, which is extraordinary.
Concubine Pei had dressed up carefully before arriving, and she was in high spirits when she spoke and laughed. Although she was considered older among the crowd, she had a mature charm in her movements, which was beyond the reach of those young masters.
Concubine Qing also came dressed up, and she smiled extraordinarily brightly when she saw her, and said: "Congratulations to my sister. Now I have been promoted to the concubine position. I heard that General Pei is about to return to the court. These two happy events really complement each other."
What!" The implication is that he was promoted to the concubine position because of his father.
Concubine Pei's face was unhappy, but she said with a smile: "Huh? Didn't the emperor ask Concubine Qing's sister to teach Noble Xia in the palace? Sister thought you didn't have time to come, you are really negligent."
Concubine Qing was choked by her words and was about to retort when Xia Zhaoyi hurriedly pulled her and smiled and said: "Look at the good blooming of some peonies over there, let's take a look."
Over there, Huazhi and Xueling also came. What was different from the past was that Xianya also came with them.
Seeing that Xian Ya was unhappy, Xia Guiren stepped forward to stop the three of them, and sneered: "Is Sister Shangguan's illness cured? How come she has the leisure to attend the banquet of the concubines in the harem? Oh, I almost forgot, Sister Shangguan has been living with illness.
Zhong, I haven’t slept with you yet! You can’t be considered the emperor’s woman!”
Hua Zhi was about to retort when he heard a person behind him slowly say: "Noble Xia, what you said is wrong. As long as she is a woman in this harem, whether she is a concubine or a maid, she is the emperor's woman."
