Feng Lingyu was completely dumbfounded. She thought the emperor was a pervert who was secretly molesting her behind her back, but she found that she was overthinking it.
"Can!"
Baili Qingchen was extremely happy. After hearing her promise, he turned around with satisfaction and stopped disturbing her.
When the girl next to him heard the sound of him turning over, he finally let go of his worries and breathed a sigh of relief. But what was going on with that inexplicable feeling of belonging?
They were obviously not very familiar with each other, but Feng Lingyu felt that she had seen them before somewhere, but she had seen very few people in this world, except for the little eunuch.
If you think about it carefully, it can't be a little eunuch. An emperor can't pretend to be a eunuch.
The next morning, Baili Qingchen left before dawn. He couldn't let anyone know that he was staying at Fengqi Palace.
Feng Lingyu seemed to have become accustomed to it. She didn't feel anything when he came, and it was the same when he left. The only difference was that she did something big for him today.
The long-awaited day for selecting the concubine has finally arrived. The Queen Mother is now praying for the people on the mountain and absolutely cannot participate in this matter anymore.
But she sent someone to deliver a letter. When Feng Lingyu received the letter, she realized how powerful this old woman was. Even if she was outside, she still knew everything about the palace.
"Your Majesty...are you really going to listen to this old queen?
In this situation, even if we don’t listen to them, they can’t do anything!”
Sunflower didn't want her master to be a puppet for the old queen mother, and although no one could shake the old queen mother's status now, if she offended the emperor, her life would not be so easy in the future.
As the empress of her family, one person is subordinate to more than ten thousand people. Sooner or later, she will be in charge of the Sixth Palace. Why should she listen to that old woman?
"Now is not the time. In order to save our lives, we must listen to her, and we will do whatever she asks us to do.
She wanted Wang Qinghua to change her identity and enter the palace. Even if she changed her identity, she would become the empress.
It’s all in vain if you don’t get the emperor’s favor!”
Feng Lingyu was very calm. This was the first time she had dressed so formally. Peeping, which weighed more than ten kilograms, was placed on her head, weighing her down so much that she could hardly breathe.
"But the empress is the master of the harem!"
"When I reach her position, I may be the real master of the first palace. Don't think so easily of the Queen Mother. The rest of the people are smart people.
These little tricks of ours have all been used by others!"
Feng Lingyu tried to take off the various hairpins on her head, but was stopped by Sunflower, "Queen, please don't move. This is the first time you have worn this phoenix crown so formally. In order to show the queen's
The majesty of the empress must be carried."
"I feel like I have a vat on my head now. I can't bend down or lower my head. Is it necessary to make me so tired? Today I am going to choose a concubine. I choose others, not to be chosen!"
Feng Lingyu didn't understand why she had to carry such a heavy thing. Although it was very expensive, it was really tiring to wear it on her head.
"Today can be considered a formal occasion. Choosing a concubine for the emperor is a top priority. If the queen is not dressed neatly, she will be laughed at by other queens, and she may also be framed by someone with intentions, saying that the queen is neglectful!
"
Sunflower carefully re-inserted each hairpin and called two slaves to help put the phoenix robe on her body. The weight of the clothes plus the weight of the accessories on her head made her feel like she was carrying a heavy burden.
Every step she took was very difficult. No wonder the ancient people walked in a dignified manner, because she couldn't float at all, and with so many heavy objects on her body, it was difficult to walk quickly.
"Where is Zhao Yurou?"
Feng Lingyu was supported by a group of people and sat on Fenghu. She couldn't look back and could only ask Sunflower beside her.
"Back there, the Queen is surrounded by palace maids, but Concubine Rou has to dress up as a little eunuch!"
"Call her over here!"
Feng Lingyu was completely convinced by Zhao Yurou. This guy only cared about his own happiness and didn't care about other people's feelings at all.
Since her appearance and figure are more like those of a man, basically all of Zhao Yurou's clothes are unisex.
Moreover, when standing in a crowd, basically no one would recognize her as a woman.
Sunflower lowered her head and slowly approached Zhao Yurou, whispering in her ear, "Concubine Rou..."
"Don't call me empress, call me Zhao Yurou. They don't know my name. If you call me that, no one else will find out!"
After Zhao Yurou left the cold palace, she was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins. She was curious about everywhere. She would look around when she was among the crowd, like a curious baby.
"The Queen calls you over!"
Zhao Yurou nodded lightly, bowed her waist, walked forward quickly, looked up at the person sitting on the bench, and asked with a smile, "What did the Queen want to do with me?"
"Didn't I ask someone to send you a palace maid's outfit? Why don't you wear that one but this one instead?"
Feng Lingyu looked at Zhao Yurou and asked lightly.
Zhao Yurou scratched the back of her head shyly, raised her head, blinked and said, "I don't really like wearing those women's clothes. I always feel they are weird and not suitable for me!"
"All right!"
Feng Lingyu had no choice but to stop asking her what she liked and just let her do what she wanted.
When the group of people arrived at the draft palace, Concubine Lian and Concubine Shu were already sitting in their respective seats. When they saw her coming, one came over to greet her with a smile, while the other came over mostly reluctantly.
"The Empress is different. The auspicious time to choose a concubine is about to come, and the Empress will come here. If there is a delay, I am afraid it will affect the future of our country in Fengdu!"
Concubine Lian was sharp and sarcastic, and she did not take the woman in front of her seriously at all.
She felt that even if Feng Lingyu was the queen, her status was not as high as hers. She was the one who held the real power of the Sixth Palace now, and the queen was just a decoration.
"Sister...the Queen is not late. It will start soon. Let's not waste time here!"
Concubine Shu smiled sweetly, held Concubine Lian's arm, and whispered in her ear, "Although the Queen is not favored, the Queen does need to preside over the selection of concubines!
This is the Queen Mother’s order, sister, it’s better not to interfere!”
"If it weren't for the Queen Mother's orders, do you think I would pay attention to this woman?"
Concubine Lian straightened her hair with her orchid fingers and rolled her eyes at Feng Lingyu with disdain.
This woman occupied the magpie's nest. Without her, she would have been the queen long ago. She wanted to get rid of her, but the Queen Mother did not allow it. To put it bluntly, the Queen Mother just wanted this woman to be a shield.
After Wang Qinghe was summoned into the palace again, Feng Lingyu had no use value at all.
"Sister...the emperor has asked my sister to take charge of all matters in the Sixth Palace. This is enough to prove that the emperor likes my sister the most. Why does my sister care about this?"
