A carriage with a red roof and gold rim slowly came into everyone's sight. The carriage was made of black nanmu, with carved beams and painted pillars. The flowers and plants on the sedan curtain were all decorated with precious stones.
There were nearly fifty people in front and behind the carriage, including guards, nuns, maids, and eunuchs. The large formation showed the royal style and majesty everywhere, and also hinted that Concubine Zhen was deeply favored by the emperor in the palace.
A pleased smile appeared on the old lady's face and she nodded.
When the royal carriage stopped at the door, all the people waiting including the old lady knelt down and shouted——
"The empress is a thousand years old."
"Get flat."
Only a gentle and majestic voice was heard, and then four palace maids stepped forward to lift the curtain. Concubine Zhen got out of the carriage on the back of the accompanying eunuch, took the slave's hand, and walked towards the people who were kneeling.
Dignified, always with an elegant smile on his face.
"Thank you, empress." Everyone stood up.
Su Yueming looked at Concubine Zhen——
I saw that she was wearing a red brocade dress with densely embroidered patterns on it. The skirt of the dress was inlaid with emerald green pearls of fortune, wealth and longevity, and she was covered with a rose ultraviolet jacket.
She has an alluring appearance, her pearls are shining, her jade is shining, and there is a transcendent air between her brows and eyes.
Su Yueming remembered that Concubine Zhen was good at poetry and virtuous, and had always been favored by the emperor. Later, when the emperor died and Xuanyuan Qiche ascended the throne, she even chatted with her, the newly promoted Empress of Zhou Dynasty, several times.
Although there was no grudge between the two, it was just that because Concubine Zhen was also born as a legitimate daughter, she didn't really think highly of her, a niece who was born as a concubine.
Concubine Zhen stood still in front of the old lady and said, "Thank you for your hard work, old lady. Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister."
The old lady and Su Buqing bowed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Concubine Zhen."
Concubine Zhen’s kind eyes looked at the people next to the old lady one by one——
"Empress Zhen." Su Baixi, Su Zicong and Su Yueming all bowed to say hello.
Concubine Zhen looked at the beautiful Su Baixi in front of her, her eyes showed great approval, she nodded slightly, and finally, her eyes fell on Su Yueming again.
Su Baixi is a magnificent golden peony, while Su Yueming is a pure orchid.
"You must be Yueming." Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhen spoke to Su Yueming first.
"Back to the empress, yes." Su Yueming's words and deeds were all in line with the rules, without any timidity or shrinkage. She was not surprised at all that Concubine Zhen knew her name. After all, she had been to the East Palace twice and met the emperor once. Inside the palace
Things spread faster than anything else, because there are always countless pairs of eyes staring at the emperor and the prince, so Concubine Zhen must have heard of something.
"Your Majesty, please come into the inner room quickly." Su Buqing turned sideways and let Concubine Zhen enter the house.
Concubine Zhen paused for a moment, and then, in the spotlight of everyone, she extended her hand to her eldest niece, Su Baixi.
"..." Suddenly, Su Baixi felt a surge of joy in her heart.
She held Concubine Zhen's arm and walked side by side into the Prime Minister's Mansion with her, followed by the old lady, Su Buqing and others.
Su Baixi raised her chin, with a victorious smile on her face. No matter what, she was still the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She was also the favorite person in Concubine Zhen's heart!
The eldest lady also smiled. At the critical moment, her daughter had to come.
A despicable person like Su Yueming would never expect to enjoy such an honor in his entire life.
