My Lady is well

Chapter 153 Morning and Evening

Shen Yueyao was a little confused when she received the imperial edict. Not only that, the emperor also rewarded her with a palace——

Chaomu Palace

When she stood under the plaque, the first thing that came to her mind was not the sentence, "If love lasts forever, why should we be together day and night?"

But it is "changing one's mind in the morning and another in the evening".

She shook her head and sneered in her heart, but Jing Ruzhang finally showed mercy and let her leave Zelu Palace.

Let’s just call it Chaomu Palace.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw pear blossoms as white as snow, filling the entire branch with fragrance. Sometimes the flowers bloomed one after another, and there was a light mist.

After passing the courtyard, she went straight into the bedroom, which had walls painted with pepper, carved beams and painted buildings. It was a feast for the eyes, and every detail was exquisite and gorgeous.

She had just admired it for a short while when rewards were brought in like water. One was from the Emperor, the next from the Empress, and finally from the Queen Mother.

She thought it was a good thing that Jing Ruzhang did not agree to let her go to the Empress Dowager's palace. Although the Empress Dowager was kind, she really didn't want to live with her elders.

He also guessed that the memorials from the court officials could no longer be suppressed, so he agreed to let her leave Zelu Palace.

Dongxue was the person who served her meals personally, so naturally she went to Chaomu Palace with her.

When Luo Zhong came, he brought Chunfeng and Qiuju with him. Shen Yueyao sighed, he really knows how to behave!

As expected of someone close to the emperor, he has a great ability in observing people's words and expressions.

Naturally, the two were very happy to be able to return to serve their master. Seeing that they were reunited, Shen Yueyao gave them half a day off.

Jin'er helped her to change clothes behind the embroidered screen and prepare to go to Yong'an Palace to express her gratitude.

She found that her belly was slightly bulging and her belly was already showing.

The people at the Fashion Bureau were quite considerate. The clothes they tailored for her were very fitting, and the colors and embroidery patterns were very different from before.

The colors and embroidery patterns of the clothes of the second-rank concubine were much richer than before, but the snow-blue smoke gauze and blue silk dress she was wearing, but the exquisite hibiscus embroidery took a lot of time to make.

The jade hairpins inlaid with pearls on her temples were said to be tribute from Silla. Although she lived in Zelu Palace before, she had never exceeded the rules in her clothing and expenses.

She looked at herself in the mirror and saw a pimple on her flawless face. There was a tiny red spot under the corner of her eye, like a teardrop mole.

She didn't think there was anything wrong, but Jin'er was making a fuss and even went to ask the imperial physician for help.

She felt relieved only when she heard the imperial physician say that there was nothing wrong.

On the way to Yong'an Palace, Shen Yueyao met the dejected Concubine Meng.

No, it’s already Concubine Meng.

The new queen showed favors to the harem, and she was also promoted. After all, she was the empress dowager's niece, so even if she did not serve the queen, her position was still promoted.

Concubine Meng greeted her.

"This concubine greets the Empress Chen."

Shen Yueyao chuckled and frowned.

"Why are you being so polite to me?"

She stood up and smiled helplessly, "It's just politeness. The etiquette in the palace cannot be abolished. If someone sees me and reports it to the Queen Mother, I will be scolded again."

"From what you said, the Queen Mother scolded you again?"

"Hehe...no, well, let's not talk about me. Sister is going to Yong'an Palace?"

Shen Yueyao nodded and said "hmm".

"That's great. By the way, I also want to go to Yong'an Palace to express my gratitude. I heard that in addition to us, Concubine Jiang was also made a concubine."

"Oh, what title did you give her?"

"It seems that there is no proposed title. Only my sister has been promoted to a title this time, and no one else has this honor."

Shen Yueyao was silent and did not respond to her.

Lady Meng also said to herself: "But it is true, my sister is pregnant with the emperor's heir after all."

Shen Yueyao agreed with her words in her heart. In this palace, it was common for a mother to be honored because of her son. Many concubines would not be remembered. When people mentioned her, they would add "the mother of a certain prince or princess" in front of the name.

Lady Meng sighed as if she was thinking of something happy.

"Finally I can go out of the palace and play."

These words immediately piqued Shen Yueyao's interest. She blinked at her quickly and asked hurriedly.

"Where did Sister Meng come from?"

"The royal family goes to the Spring Festival every year. My aunt has agreed to let the emperor take me."

"Haru...Sou?"

Shen Yueyao was a little confused. How could she not know?

When I was staying in Zelu Palace before, I was cut off from the news. This won’t do. I need to open up channels for communication and get more information.

She didn't even know such an important thing.

Lady Meng patiently said, "It's hunting. The royal family hunts all year round, in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The emperor will take many ministers and concubines with him. If you count the days, it should be around these days."

“Why wasn’t there last year?”

"The emperor had just ascended the throne last year, so I guess he was too busy to cancel it."

Shen Yueyao frowned and came to Yong'an Palace with a heavy heart.

Li Ning was seen wearing a phoenix crown and sitting upright on the throne, with no expression on her face. The newly promoted Concubine Jiang was also there.

Shen Yueyao stepped forward and knelt down, about to kowtow, but she heard the queen say.

"If you are not feeling well, please don't bother. Just sit down."

Concubine Meng knelt down and bowed politely.

"Your Highness, may your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"No need to be polite." Li Ning said in a light tone.

When Meng Jieyu heard that she was not allowed to sit down, she hurriedly stood beside Shen Yueyao.

The queen glanced at her and said, "Please sit down."

She sat down obediently again. Shen Yueyao smiled secretly in her heart. This Concubine Meng usually didn't take those concubines seriously, but she didn't expect that she was so afraid of Li Ning.

The Queen took a sip of tea and said, "The Emperor will go to the Imperial Suburbs Paddock for the Spring Hermitage in a few days. I will accompany him then. Concubine Jiang and Concubine Meng are also on the list of accompanying him. There are not too many concubines in the harem. The Queen Mother wants all the concubines to go, and the Concubines and beauties can just pick a few who are well-behaved and sensible."

After hearing her words, Shen Yueyao couldn't hide her excitement. She could finally leave the palace openly.

Summarizing the failed experience of her last escape, the documents to leave the city from various places were her biggest obstacle. Without the documents, the city gates would be closed at any time, and she would be unable to escape even if she had wings.

Now that she has a blank seal, this difficulty has finally been overcome for her.

Shen Yueyao looked at Li Ning expectantly, her big eyes twinkling. Li Ning thought her expression was strange, and asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"Why? Do you have a candidate for the Consort?"

She didn't have any candidates. The one who wanted to go the most was her. Seeing her ask again, she glanced at Lady Meng and said.

"I think Zheng Cairen is pretty good."

Concubine Meng smiled at her, and the Queen said.

"Anymore?"

"Ms. Shu is not bad either."

Concubine Jiang thought for a while and interrupted, "I think Concubine Li is not bad either."

Li Jieyu? Li Biyun? Ever since the emperor ascended the throne, she was given the title of Jieyu, and she has kept a low profile and has little presence.

Now that he was suddenly mentioned, Shen Yueyao remembered that there seemed to be such a person.

Li Ning lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

"In that case, we have almost all the people. Once I have sorted out the list, I will give it to the Queen Mother and the Emperor for review, and then we can make the final decision."

Shen Yueyao smiled at her, her eyebrows curved, and the joy on her face seemed to overflow from her mouth.

Li Ning's brows and eyes became more relaxed and his tone became softer.

"During the time when I am away, I will have to trouble Concubine Chen to share my worries and handle the many affairs of the harem."

Wait! What did she say?
