Concubine Shang Yunxiao

Chapter 16 The Liveliness of Wanjing Garden
"Since Ruan Zhaoyi is so keen on the Queen's work, let Aijia let her go to Wanjing Garden alone to choose a princess today. Isn't it just a princess who wants to be married, and she is good-looking, and the emperor needs to go in person?" Empress Dowager Chen said, "Today is the Lantern Festival. The old lady of the Ai family also wants her son to accompany her. Our family also wants to be reunited."

Empress Chen's eyes lit up, and she was secretly happy that she could finally see the emperor.

Empress Dowager Chen saw through Empress Chen's thoughts, and said pity in her heart.She took off the pair of golden phoenix hairpins on her head and inserted them into Empress Chen's hair bun, saying: "The Ai family loves you so much, I give you this pair of rare golden phoenix hairpins with exquisite workmanship, hoping to bring you some luck. This was given by the first emperor when Ai's family was sealed off." Empress Dowager Chen said the last sentence, her face full of warmth.

She suppressed her emotions, looked at Empress Chen who looked much more noble with the golden phoenix hairpin, and said, "Look, this is what a queen looks like."

She then said to the little palace maid who stood beside her: "Yun'er, go and send a message to the emperor, just say that Ai's family wants him to accompany them for the festival."

"Yes."

Empress Dowager Chen looked at Empress Chen's expectant face and said with a deep expression: "Yi'er, in this palace, those who died were liberated people, and those who survived were elites. To secure a stable position, the empress must be among the elites." Elite, do you understand?"

Empress Dowager Chen had never uttered such heart-shattering and slightly bloody words.Empress Chen couldn't help but straighten her face and nodded.

Today, the Wanjing Garden screens out all tourists and is only open to the officials and the royal family.

Wintersweet wears the fragrance of snow, Wanjing Garden has fragrant clothes and shadows on the temples, and the shadows are full of people, which is very lively.The court ladies in uniform and elegant clothes floated among the high-ranking officials and nobles, and the eunuchs bowed and walked with low eyebrows and eyes, busy.

Men gather to chat, while women go to the garden together.The wives of each family are dressed up in fancy dress, noble and gorgeous.And the daughters who accompanied them all wore simple and simple clothes, and they thought they were accompanying maids if they were not paying attention, and all of them were mediocre in appearance.It seems that it is not a beauty pageant, but a comparison of ugliness.If one of these girls is selected and sent to Danci for marriage, Prince Raha may return the goods.

Today the ministers gathered for a banquet, although they heard that the emperor would not be able to come, but all the ministers were still in high spirits.Maybe if the emperor doesn't come, everyone can drink freely and talk freely.

This is also an opportunity to get in touch with important officials, Yuan Yuesheng naturally will not miss this opportunity.Yuan Haoxiang, who he brought to the banquet, was for this purpose. Not only did he want to create opportunities for himself to be promoted, but he also wanted his son to learn how to get in touch with the officialdom, so that he could make a career in the sky in the future.
