The virtuous concubine, no, she should be the virtuous noble concubine.
Empress Zhou was imprisoned and took over the power of the Sixth Palace. Unlike Zhou Guifei, who was a beloved concubine herself, she became a sweet-faced and bitter queen and suppressed other beloved concubines.
Concubine Xian is quite open-minded and can say anything without touching her power of the Sixth Palace.
Therefore, even Liu Zhaoyi, a beloved concubine with a bad background, was not in trouble, and the emperor's harem was rarely in harmony.
Emperor Ming was still very satisfied with Concubine Xian, but within half a year, he promoted her to the rank of Imperial Concubine and even gave her the title Xian.
Concubine Xian had no sons, only two daughters. She was very satisfied with her current situation, and did not particularly embarrass the imprisoned Queen Zhou.
Among the dozen or so princes, the most powerful prince and the King of Qin respected her and called her "virtuous mother and concubine".
Therefore, her chrysanthemum appreciation banquet today is equivalent to the first grand banquet she holds after her promotion to announce to the world that she is the Vice-Queen.
As the equal wife of King Qin, Ming Lanruo naturally wanted King Qin to enter the palace together without a formal Princess of Qin.
But she was worried that Xu Xiuyi would be bullied when she entered the palace, so she specially told Guan Hongye that she would accompany Xu Xiuyi into the palace and pay homage together when they met the Holy Concubine Xian.
The carriage from Concubine Ming's Mansion drove directly to the door of Xu's house.
"Miss, are you ready? Concubine Ming's carriage is at the door!" Mei Zhu asked worriedly.
After a while, Xu Xiuyi stepped out. She was wearing a long goose-yellow dress and a set of Western-style moonstone gold and silver laminated hair and face. It was exquisite, gorgeous and radiant, which made her look cool and noble.
Mei Zhu couldn't help but sigh: "This set of jewelry sent by Yinhu is really gorgeous and elegant. It is very suitable for a lady. This set of hair and noodles is the treasure of Xingsufang. No matter how many girls want to buy it, they can't buy it."
"
Xu Xiuyi said a little uncomfortably: "I don't know where he got them. Why did he insist on giving them to me? I will convert them into silver and give them to him."
Mei Zhu said: "Master Yinhu is here to support you. He said he would wait for you in the palace."
Xu Xiuyi was stunned and frowned: "Why can he enter the palace as a merchant?"
Could it be that Nine Thousand Years Old had something he wanted him to do?
Mei Zhu shook her head: "The master said that Young Master Yinhu will accompany you to the palace, so that the prince will not have any evil intentions after seeing you."
Xu Xiuyi smiled bitterly: "He is just a merchant. Will he accompany me into the palace and be humiliated together?"

East Palace
The prince looked at himself in the mirror and asked calmly: "When will Xu Xiuyi arrive today?"
Eunuch Tang whispered: "Back to Your Highness, it is said that she will enter the palace with Concubine Ming."
The prince touched his chin and whispered: "Ah, Ming Lanruo..."
He really couldn't wait to see her "wonderful" expression when she found out that her close friend was "deeply in love" with him today.

Chu Yuanbai hummed a folk song while adjusting the cufflinks of his Panlong Lord attire.
Shanna asked boredly: "Brother, why do you dress so well today?"
Chu Yuanbai showed a smile that was so pleasant and secretive: "Because Concubine Xian's chrysanthemum viewing banquet today will be very exciting, and maybe I can catch the mermaid I want to catch - the host of the Gu God. Of course, I have to dress nicer.
