The 12 consorts and the emperor's investigation

  When he was sure Ye Chuchu had finished bathing, Luolan slowly approached the inner chamber.

  "It's time for you to go to the Empress's palace to pay your respects." According to the rules of the palace, a new concubine had to pay her respects to the Empress on the second day after entering the palace.

  A white dress fell to the ground, with a subtle pattern of butterflies, and a head of green silk used butterfly-like streamers to gently lift it up, making her look a bit plain but also showing off Ye Chuchu's unique beauty. Perhaps because of her cultivation, she had an otherworldly aura about her.

  Seated on a soft palanquin, she was slowly carried towards the Chongfeng Palace.

  Outside Chaofeng Palace

  When Ye Chuchu arrived, she found three sedan chairs already stopped at the palace gate.

  It must be the other three consorts!

  Three exquisite beauties came down from three sedan chairs.

  Beautiful emerald smoke shirt, wearing a thin smoke gauze, waist wins weak, slender figure, charming and boneless three points, but the eye corners have a hint of tender ferocity, this is Empress Li Mei Yun.

  Pale pink palace dress, skirt corner embroidered with pale blue butterfly about to fly, shoulders like a knife cut waist like a promise, skin like frozen fat air like faint orchid, charming and moving, this is Concubine Wei Zhou Feiyan.

  She wore a long, dark purple dress, her skin was smooth and delicate, her cherry lips were not painted but red, tender and beautiful, elegant and refined, this is the virtuous consort Zhao Yinhuan.

  At this time, Ye Chuchu couldn't help but sigh when she saw the appearance of several people, and the beautiful women in the mortal world were not inferior to those in the Cultivation Realm.

  Because several people were on an equal footing, Ye Chuchu just slightly nodded to several people, with a light expression, and a carefree air.

  When they saw Ye Chuchu, the three of them had different expressions.

  The face of Shu Fei was disdainful, Xian Fei gave a slight nod, while Hui Fei smiled charmingly.

  "The Empress orders all ladies to pay their respects." The framework was set up, and the Empress finally summoned a few people into the palace.

  Queen Wang Yazhi is the eldest daughter of the royal family, dignified and elegant, noble and luxurious, raised by the royal family as a mother of a country since childhood, with an extraordinary temperament.

  "I, your subject, pay respects to Your Majesty the Empress. May you live for a thousand years." Several people slowly bowed down, their faces filled with reverence.

  The queen said with a warm tone, "Everyone please get up! Especially sister Rong, you worked hard serving the emperor last night. From now on, there will be one more sister in the harem."

  As soon as this was said, Shu Fei's sharp eyes shot straight at Ye Chuchu. Having another concubine meant that their nights with the emperor would be reduced, and Ye Chuchu was especially beautiful.

  The other two concubines didn't look too good either.

  As expected, it's really troublesome. Ye Chuchu sighed secretly in her heart, but she wasn't an ordinary concubine, so Ye Chuchu didn't respond to the Empress's words. This actually made the Empress feel embarrassed for a moment, and she had never seen anyone who didn't give her face like this before.

  Finally, Xianfei took over the conversation from the Empress, followed by another round of praise and admiration, and then Huifei also joined in.

  The atmosphere between them seemed to have warmed up a bit again.

  However, Empress Shu merely snorted coldly by the side.

  The queen glanced at Shu Fei and coldly hummed, "Shu Fei, what's wrong? Uncomfortable?"

  Since Shu Fei became pregnant, her attitude began to become arrogant and disdainful of others. Several times, she used the excuse of the child to intercept the emperor from other palaces, and each time she succeeded. This made the rest of the people deeply resentful of her, not to mention that she had what was supposed to be the emperor's first child in her belly!

  It's precisely because of this that yesterday Feng Shaojin swept her face, making her lose face in front of Ye Chuchu. Now she doesn't have a good expression for Ye Chuchu.

  This mood made her really have no good mood to chat with them.

  "I'm just pregnant and feeling a bit uncomfortable, that's all." Shu Fei said to the Empress with a 'respectful' tone, but the pride in her words couldn't be hidden. What did it matter anyway? She was carrying the Emperor's first child!

  "In that case, you should return to the palace and rest well, the Emperor's dragon son is the most important." Looking at the gentle consort in front of her, the Empress's heart was filled with gloom. Without a child, she still had to put on a pleasant face for a consort, did this Empress still have any dignity?

  After Empress Shu left with a satisfied smile, the empress looked at the remaining people and no longer had the mood to assert her authority. "The palace is somewhat tired, you can also withdraw!"

  "Yes." Looking at the queen's gloomy eyes and thinking of the proud Shu Fei, Ye Chuchu's mouth curled up into a small arc.

  The emperor is a young boy, so whose child is in Empress Shu's belly?

  When Ye Chuchu returned to the palace, the side concubine's palace immediately sent someone to announce that Ye Chuchu would be serving the emperor in bed tonight.

  After dismissing the eunuch who had been sent to deliver the imperial edict, Ye Chuchu leaned back on the soft couch and closed her eyes to rest, without the supplement of spiritual stones, her cultivation could not advance, she did not have the heart to cultivate, and she was also lazy.

  Perhaps it would be better to spend time with the Emperor, the Emperor fell in love with her, the space opened up to the second layer, and at that time...

  Suddenly, Ye Chuchu opened her eyes, and her gaze sparkled with light.

  Longting Palace

  At this time, Feng Shao Han was reviewing the memorial, but Li Quan obviously found that his master was not in a good state.

  "Has the person I sent returned?" Feng Shao Han asked after a long while.

  Li Quan was taken aback for a moment, then reacted and realized that Feng Shao Han was referring to the young eunuch Li Zi who went to Yun Jin Palace, his apprentice.

  "Returning to the Emperor, she has already returned to the palace." Li Quan replied respectfully, but in his heart he secretly wondered, could it be that the Emperor had a special meaning towards the newly entered palace's Consort Rong?

  " Declaration." Thin lips slightly opened, Feng Shao Han put down the pen in his hand.

  "This humble servant has seen Your Majesty." The eunuch who had just come from Yunjin Palace knelt down and said.

  "Hearing the imperial decree, did Consort Rong show any unusual behavior?" Feng Shao asked indifferently.

  "I don't dare look directly at Your Ladyship's sacred face." Little Li said, suppressing his inner fear.

  ...Hearing Xiaolizi's words, Banxiao and Fengshaohan didn't ask any more questions.

  Li Quan waved his hand and let Little Li go out. Little Li retreated hastily as if he had a heavy burden.

  "Your Majesty..." Li Quan reminded in a low voice.

  "You go down too." Feng Shao said coldly and threw his gaze back onto the memorial.

  Li Quan left afterwards.

  "Dark one." Feng Shao said in a cold voice, at this time the figure of the man in black immediately appeared in front of Feng Shao.

  "Tonight, you will go to Yunjin Palace." Feng Shao Han instructed.

  "Yes, but..." An Yi hesitated for a moment. He knew what had happened last night. The other consorts dared to do it because the Emperor didn't consider them his own women. But, Consort Rong was different, she was the Emperor's first woman.

  "Help me probe whether she can see through you, and there's no need for you to do anything extra." Feng Shao gave An Yi a cold glance, his thoughts not needing to be guessed by others.

  "Know your crime." Feeling Feng Shao's icy gaze, An Yi hastily knelt down to plead guilty.

  "Go down." Feng Shao said coldly.

  An Yi left the inner hall.

  Feng Shao Han looked in the direction he had left, thinking about the woman he saw last night.

  Last night, he slept well beside her, which was a first in history! A strange feeling rose up in his heart!
