Harem Daily Life

Mingyue's figure is similar to Tao Yanyan's, but the clothes seem a little longer after she tried them on.

Thinking that he might grow taller, Tao Yanyan did not ask the Clothing Bureau to make any changes.

"Since Manager Sun sent the wrong dress and Concubine Li chose that one, then this one will stay with me." Tao Yanyan said calmly. This dress was well made, and the rose red color was not only something she could wear, but it also made her skin look fairer. As for the style, with a little modification, it could become light and agile, suitable for her position.

The changes can be left to Qingfeng, and there is no need for the Clothing Bureau to take action.

How could Manager Sun refuse? She immediately thanked Lady Tao for saving her life.

Manager Li also kept thanking him.

Tao Yanyan didn't expect them to really help him in the future, he was just doing them a favor.

After the two of them left with many thanks, Qing Feng said angrily, "The beauty is too easy to talk to. If it were me, I would have to tell His Majesty that Concubine Li stole your new clothes."

Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "He is busy with state affairs every day, and the memorials are piled up like mountains. Isn't it a waste of his time to go to him for such a small matter? Okay, go get some paper and pen, I'll draw a pattern for you, and you can modify the dress according to the pattern."

After a while, Qingfeng's eyes lit up when he saw the new pattern: "Wow, it's like changing a piece of clothing after this change. Beauty, you are really talented in this area!"

Tao Yanyan smiled and thought that it would be great if she could open a clothing store in Beijing. With so many styles of Hanfu in her mind, she would not have to worry about not making money.

Unfortunately, she had no staff and no one to help her take care of it, so she had to give up.

Mingyue poured a cup of tea for Tao Yanyan and said, "My beauty, will you attend the ceremony for the two first-rank concubines to be crowned as concubines tomorrow?"

Tao Yanyan wanted to go and see what was going on, but then he looked at his feet and sighed, "Forget it. I can't move around easily. Let Chang Tai go and have a look. If there's anything interesting, let him come back and tell us."

There are four first-rank concubines, namely Imperial Concubine, Virtuous Concubine, Shu Concubine and Virtuous Concubine. Today is the ceremony of Li Concubine being promoted to Virtuous Concubine and Rong Concubine being promoted to Virtuous Concubine. The harem is very lively. Everyone gathered in the Queen's Fengyi Palace early in the morning to watch the ceremony.

After Li Fei's miscarriage, she was being taken care of in Changxin Palace. This was the second time that everyone had seen her in the past few months. The last time they saw her, she was still pregnant, which made everyone envious. Although she had a miscarriage this time, it was a pity, but she was still favored. She was even made a concubine without having a child, which slightly suppressed Rong Fei.

Concubine Li was wearing the light purple dress designed by Tao Yanyan today, which made her look light and agile. With every step she took, the color of the dress shone with the light, which was truly dazzling.

The queen clenched her palms, and was so angry that her liver ached when she saw Concubine Li, who looked a little haggard but had an outstanding appearance, walking towards her.

Concubine Rong walked beside Concubine Li, wearing a dress that was hastily made by the Shangyi Bureau. The rose-red color made her look festive and dignified, but compared to Concubine Li, Concubine Rong looked ordinary.

The two knelt down to listen to the title, which was the first step of the ceremony. The eunuch Qiao beside the queen read out the imperial decree. After that, the virtuous concubine and the virtuous concubine offered tea to the queen respectively, and the ceremony ended after they kowtowed.

"The Imperial Kitchen has prepared a feast for the two of you. Lunch will be delivered to your palace. Please invite the concubines you are familiar with to have a gathering together. The Empress Dowager personally appointed Consort De. In a while, Consort Gui, Consort De, and Consort Shu will accompany me to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. Consort De will thank the Empress Dowager in person."

"Yes, I will obey your order." Defei replied happily.

Concubine Xian looked indifferent. The Queen's words had made it clear that she didn't need to thank the Queen Mother.

She looked around at the concubines, and found that there was not one she wanted to invite to the banquet, so she snorted coldly and said, "I am not well yet, so I will return to the palace to rest. I will take my leave."

The queen was eager for her to leave as soon as possible so that she wouldn't be an eyesore, so she said, "Then you should go back first and take good care of yourself."

After Concubine Xian left, Concubine De smiled and invited all the concubines: "Since I entered the palace, I have been taken care of by the Queen and the Imperial Concubine, and I get along well with all the sisters. Please come to Yongxing Palace at noon to get together and have fun. I have the best pear blossom wine, which is fragrant and mellow, and I will take it out to treat you all."

The concubines of lower rank were naturally happy to go. Concubine De was now the only first-rank concubine who had given birth to a prince. How could they not go if she invited them? So they all expressed their desire to go and congratulate.

The Queen and the Imperial Concubine also expressed their willingness to go, but Shu Fei felt a little embarrassed.

She has been recuperating recently and should not drink alcohol. In addition, the other two have been promoted while she is standing still, which makes her feel a little embarrassed. She said, "I have caught a cold these two days. It's not serious, but the eldest prince is still young and has a weak resistance. I will not go. I will send someone to send a gift to Yongxing Palace to congratulate the Empress Defei on her promotion."

Concubine De smiled and said, "Then let's get together alone someday."

Unlike everyone in Fengyi Palace who was having a great time, when Concubine Xian returned to Changxin Palace, she sent someone to invite the Emperor to have lunch with her.

"If His Majesty is busy, you'd better be smart and give some silver to Eunuch Zhang and ask him to persuade him. Be sure to invite the person over." The virtuous concubine said as she checked her makeup.

The father-in-law who went to invite the others left, and Jing'er said, "Madam, would you like to lie down for a while? There is still more than an hour before lunch. You got up early today, so you should take a nap."

The virtuous concubine said, "I am tired of lying down all day. Send someone to check on the banquet in the imperial kitchen and urge them to prepare it. When it is delivered, warm it up and serve when His Majesty arrives."

Today was her grand day of being crowned a princess consort, and she wanted to celebrate beautifully with her beloved emperor. As she thought about it, she put on some rouge to cover her slightly pale face.

He Linzhang was reading the report from Qi Yizheng. The Taoist temple on Mount Qingcheng had been secretly destroyed. According to the results of torture, Taoist Priest Xuanqing was a member of the Canglong Sect and had a high status. Everyone called him "Big Brother".

Qi Yizheng also found several large boxes of information involving court officials, celebrities and wealthy businessmen, all of which were sealed and will be sent to the capital in the near future. However, Xuanqing was cunning and escaped through a secret passage during the fight and his whereabouts are unknown. Qi Yizheng is trying his best to track down Xuanqing's whereabouts and cannot return to the capital for the time being.

He Linzhang had never expected that Qingcheng Mountain really hid a secret and turned out to be a stronghold of Canglongmen. If it weren't for Tao Yanyan, who found out the clues and discovered Xuanqing's vicious secret, who knows what the consequences would be!

He Linzhang was very fortunate, so he planned to visit the little beauty at noon and tell her the news about Qi Yizheng.

Just when he was about to ask Zhang Fuhai to send someone to inform them first and have Yingyue Pavilion arrange lunch, he saw Zhang Fuhai come in and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian invites you to have a meal to celebrate her enthronement today."
