Unexpected Surprise at the Jin Feng Ceremony

  At night, Ye Chuchu put on the palace attire exclusive to the Imperial Noble Consort and arrived at the front of the Chao Feng Palace amidst a crowd of people.

  At this time, everyone present was watching her, who had become a favored concubine in just two days after entering the palace.

  The bright yellow imperial robe, with a layer of golden gauze draped over it, had wide sleeves embroidered with red flowers. On her head was a hairpin in the shape of a phoenix, and her shoulders were as slender as if carved, her waist as delicate as a willow branch, her eyebrows like green feathers, her skin as white as snow, and her eyes sparkled with a captivating charm that stole hearts, setting off an icy elegance that was uniquely alluring.

  Adding to her elegant and refined demeanor, I had originally thought she would be a charming and alluring beauty, but unexpectedly, she was such an understated yet beautiful woman. Nevertheless, she is absolutely worthy of being called the favored imperial concubine.

  After mutual courtesy, Ye Chuchu sat in a position under the empress, followed by the three consorts. In the large courtyard below several steps were seated various ministers and their families.

  Upper seat upper

  Looking at Ye Chuchu sitting above her, caressing her own belly, Empress Shu was filled with resentment. Originally, she had been holding onto a fantasy that after the birth of the Crown Prince, the Emperor would definitely promote her position. Unexpectedly, it turned out like this, and even snatched away what was in front of Ye Chuchu.

  And the other two consorts, Hui and Xian, were still relatively normal at this time, only they were better than Shu who was full of straw in her brain, knowing how to conceal their emotions, even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts, but couldn't show it on the surface.

  "Sister, from now on when you see me, you must call me Imperial Noble Consort Yuan." Huifeng covered her mouth and smiled slyly, her eyes full of charm and allure.

  "Not at all, first of all, congratulations to you, sister," said Xian Fei.

  "What's there to be so happy about? Even if it's a big deal, it's not as if the queen herself is coming." Ye Chuchu said calmly.

  As soon as this was said, not only did the three consorts' faces turn pale, but they also immediately received a sidelong glance from the empress, "What's going on, Consort Rong, do you still want to be empress?"

  Ye Chuchu smiled but didn't speak, simply sitting there with an air of carefree elegance.

  The queen looked at Ye Chuchu's behavior and was dissatisfied in her heart, secretly resenting: Wait till she gets what's coming to her.

  "The emperor has arrived." The imperial retinue immediately followed.

  "Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!" The people present immediately stood up and paid homage.

  "Rise." Feng Shao Han said to the crowd, glancing at Ye Chuchu who was dressed up and lightly adjusted his hand.

  This action made the queen's face turn pale. She was still here, wasn't Feng Shao Han's behavior a slap in her face?

  Glared at Ye Chuchu fiercely in the dark, it was all her fault for seducing the Emperor.

  Ye Chuchu had no opinion on Feng Shaochen's actions. As a favored concubine, she should have the demeanor of one, only...

  Ye Chuchu looked at the group of officials below, and these people were probably scolding her in their hearts.

  This morning's dawn

  Feng Shao Han immediately issued the imperial decree to make Guifei, but when he arrived at the imperial court, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue immediately raised an objection.

  "Rong Fei entered the palace for only two days and suddenly became a noble consort, while other consorts have been serving in the palace for many years." The implication is simple: if someone is to be promoted, it should be one of the others.

  "Who do you think is qualified to be promoted to Imperial Noble Consort?" Feng Shao looked coldly at the Minister of Revenue.

  "I think that Princess Shu is pregnant with the dragon heir, she is the best candidate." The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue heard Feng Shaoheng's words and said with a flash in his eyes.

  "But... I must promote Rong Fei, right?" Feng Shao Han asked back, his tone carrying a hint of coldness and oppression.

  "We are just unable to bear the Emperor being bewitched by feminine charm, forgetting the ancestral laws and family rules." The Minister of Revenue directly knelt on the ground, showing respect yet with a hint of coercion.

  The words of the Minister of Revenue had just fallen when several elderly officials on this side also knelt down, shouting, "Please, Your Majesty, think thrice."

  "I don't need to think thrice, this is my family matter, I'll promote whoever I want. Do you still want to interfere with my harem?!" Feng Shao said coldly, "Perhaps when you ascend to this position, then maybe you can really interfere with my harem."

  As soon as the emperor spoke, they had no choice but to obey, even if their power in the imperial court was great, it was not greater than the emperor's sacred words, let alone the current emperor who has already formed his own faction and is gradually out of their control.

  Today, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue made a move just to test the emperor's attitude, but he didn't expect the emperor's attitude to be so tough, not giving them any face at all.

  Is the emperor's move a genuine favor towards Empress Dowager Cixi or a warning to them?

  No matter what? They can only compromise on this matter, and it's just the position of a noble consort, there's no need to conflict with the emperor.

  Tonight, they met the so-called Empress Dowager, and it had to be said that such a woman not being favored by the emperor would be a waste of heaven's treasures.

  At this time they were very suspicious, how could Ye Jianhong, a martial artist, raise such a daughter, but the person they wanted to ask was now on the border.

  After a lengthy ceremony of confinement, the empress saw that Ye Chuchu's clothes were still intact and became anxious.

  Hurry and signal to the imperial concubine Shu's side to have Zhu move quickly.

  Her body trembled slightly.

  Suddenly rushed towards Ye Chuchu who was in the process of being crowned princess, tightly grasping her clothes and pulling hard.

  Because Consort Shu was originally standing very close to Ye Chuchu, Liuzhu's movements were swift and the guards present didn't even have time to react.

  With a "pop" sound, Ye Chuchu's palace dress was suddenly torn apart, and at that moment, Liuzhu's body suddenly stumbled and fell towards the side of Concubine Shu.

  With a "bang", Shu Fei was knocked to the ground.

  "Ah...... I... my child." The Empress felt as if something was flowing down her body and cried out in alarm.

  Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in shock, and the scene became chaotic. The palace staff nearby were also thrown into confusion.
