After being forced to travel through time by accident, I became famous in the entertainment industry

The man walked out of the inner room slowly, stepping on the stairs with very light sounds. He walked to the high chair where he usually sat, straightened his luxurious clothes, sat down, and fiddled with the hem of his clothes.

Immediately afterwards, the palace maids of all ranks from Fengyi Palace came in one after another. They had undergone special training and their footsteps were very light.

Some carried fresh fruit, others cakes and tea. Even more outrageous were the three palace maids standing at the back, one carrying a stool while two of them jointly lifted a carved mahogany table.

"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine!" the palace maids said in unison.

The senior palace maid who had just led Xu Zhao in suddenly clapped her hands, as if giving some kind of order.

The next second, the group of palace maids who had just entered immediately started moving.

The table and chairs were placed in front of the steps, very close to the seat where the imperial concubine was sitting.

As for the fruits, some were placed on the mahogany table, and some were placed next to the imperial concubine.

After doing all this, all the palace maids, including the head palace maid, left the hall at lightning speed.

Xu Zhao stood by, almost dumbfounded. Was this the kind of professional worker she was used to? The movements were well-organized, and they only took a few minutes. If the scene wasn't different from when she first came in, she would have doubted whether those palace maids had really come in.

"Miss Xu, come and sit down." The voice of Concubine Su Yao was very pleasant, and you couldn't tell at all that she was almost forty years old.

She pointed to the table and chairs that the maid had just placed.

So this was prepared for her, Xu Zhao thought to himself.

Xu Zhao: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

She didn't hesitate and walked forward a few steps and sat down. As expected of the palace of the favorite concubine, the whole room was very warm due to the heating of the floor. Xu Zhao put the hot water bottle directly on the few empty seats on the table and picked up the strawberries on the table.

She had looked carefully when the palace maid was arranging the things just now. The fruit next to the imperial concubine was the same as the one beside her, so she thought she could eat it at will.

Most of the fruits in the palace are carefully selected and taste extra sweet.

Now that he was close, Xu Zhao looked carefully at the favorite concubine in front of him, and continued to eat the strawberries in his hand, without any fear of offending the imperial concubine.

Seeing her calm look, with her eyebrows curved and smiling, Su Yao took it calmly and had no intention of blaming her. Instead, he felt that seeing her so relaxed made him feel much better.

Fortunately, all the palace maids were arranged to leave in advance, otherwise it would have been awkward for the two of them to get along with each other.

The favorite concubine described by historians has now become more concrete.

She has an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, watery eyes, red lips and pearly teeth, a face like a lotus, her hair is combed into a high bun, and she wears a nine-phoenix hairpin, a hairpin, a pearl necklace and other accessories. She sits on a high seat with dignity and elegance, and is radiant and beautiful, just like her voice. She doesn't look like she is almost 35 years old at all.

This is the imperial concubine who was born as a palace maid!

After eating a strawberry, Xu Zhao picked up a cherry and recalled the historical introduction to this imperial concubine.

Su Yao has been serving as a palace maid to Empress Wang, the mother of the current Emperor Showa, since she was a child. Later, she was sent to the Eastern Palace by Empress Wang to take care of Emperor Showa, who was still the crown prince. The two grew up together and were inseparable.

After the birth of the second legitimate son Shen Yu, the late emperor had the idea of ​​deposing the eldest legitimate son and making the second legitimate son the crown prince. At that time, Emperor Showa was in dire straits every day, worried that his position as crown prince would be deprived at any time, and lived in fear every day.

Su Yao accompanied him through such difficult days, so after Emperor Showa ascended the throne, the first thing he did was not to enthrone his eldest son Shen Lingge, who had already been born, as the crown prince, but to enthrone Su Yao as the queen. However, the ministers advised against it and threatened to commit suicide. Emperor Showa was kind and gave up and gave Su Yao the position of imperial concubine.

You should know that after Emperor Showa ascended the throne, apart from posthumously conferring the title of Empress Inui on his first wife who died of childbirth, he has not appointed a new empress.

Historians all believe that in the eyes of Emperor Showa, no one else could sit on this seat except Su Yao.

"Miss Xu, why don't you wear the ruby ​​tiara I gave you?"

The air was filled with the sweet aroma of strawberries. Seeing Xu Zhao eating the fruit, Su Yao felt that the strawberries, which she usually almost got tired of eating, looked particularly delicious today.

He picked up a strawberry butt with his fingertips, removed the stem, and started eating it.

Although it was a question, Xu Zhao did not hear any anger in her tone, and she even smiled.

Xu Zhao knew that the palace had many rules, so he reluctantly stood up and saluted to answer. Just as he raised his butt, he heard Su Yao, who was sitting above him, say softly: "There are no outsiders here, no need to be polite, and don't worry about my identity."

The buttocks that had just been lifted up had not left the stool for a second before they were tightly stuck to the stool surface again.

She has always been the type of person who would rather stand than sit, and would rather lie down than sit. Now that the rules are waived, Xu Zhao feels that Su Yao is quite easy-going, not at all like what is said in history.

She could even feel that the imperial concubine was truly kind to her. Thinking of Qinghe's good relationship with Su Yao, she probably felt that it was because she loved Qinghe and Su Yao.

"Your Majesty, just call me Chaoxi," Xu Zhao remembered that she had a new name in this era, and immediately introduced herself. This way, if she was going to leave any trace, it would be about Chaoxi, and had nothing to do with her, Xu Zhao!

"The jeweled headpiece the Empress gave me is far too valuable. Today is both New Year's Eve and a celebration of the army's triumphant return. I'm a mere woman with no special talents, so I thought it best to be more low-key. That's why I chose these simple hair accessories."

Su Yao nodded. It was indeed as Qinghe's letter said, she was a girl of both wisdom and courage. Her neither humble nor arrogant tone was indeed different from that of an ordinary girl.

Now, she felt more at ease with Xu Zhao.

At this moment, both of them looked calm, and Xu Zhao's face was not defensive either. Su Yao seized the opportunity and raised her original question again: "Zhaoxi, I just asked you, do you know why I asked you to come to see me so early in the morning?"

Xu Zhao controlled her facial expression and looked at Su Yao expressionlessly so that no one would notice her true thoughts.

"Please let me know, Madam."

It is better not to waste your brain if you can. What's more, she is an outsider, what big things can be waiting for her? If she really encounters a problem that she cannot resolve, although she is reluctant to leave Shen Yu, the worst that can happen is that she will just wipe his neck and see him next time.

Su Yao took out a secret letter from his sleeve and held it forward.

Since there were no palace maids in the hall, there was no one to act as a middleman to pass the things. Fortunately, Xu Zhao was not too far away. He raised his buttocks, reached forward, and took the envelope from Su Yao's hand.

There was nothing written on the envelope, and the red wax with gold powder had been destroyed. Xu Zhao did not take out the letter immediately, but repeatedly asked Su Yao, "My Lady, are you sure I can see the things here?"

"Of course." Su Yao knew Xu Zhao had some concerns, so she explained calmly, "This was sent to the emperor by a spy a few days ago, and I brought it here. It concerns Qinghe, and I wanted to see what you think."
