Xiao Xiazi continued, "His Majesty said that no one is allowed to discuss this matter, but he still cares for the empress in his heart."

Su Qingyao wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "Whether he is really going towards me, or whether he wants to use this matter to warn the queen, I really don't know."

Xiao Xiazi nodded, "His Majesty, His Majesty the Prince, went to the Yangxin Palace just now. Is it related to this matter?"

Su Qingyao shrugged, "I don't know about this. In short, it's a good thing that Your Majesty doesn't allow others to discuss it. You should talk to me about this, and don't go out and spread it."

"The slave understands."

"By the way, Wen'er said that she wants to eat plum blossom cakes today. Go to the plum garden outside to see if the plum blossoms are blooming?" Su Qingyao asked Xiao Xiazi.

Xiao Xiazi said a little embarrassedly, "Mother, it's only October, where are the plum blossoms in full bloom?"

"Isn't it true that some people have to love to eat? Just go and take a look. If not, forget it and let her wait." Su Qingyao said this deliberately because she saw Liu Meiren already appearing at the door.

"Sister Xian, do you think I'm greedy?" Liu Meiren entered with brisk steps.

Su Qingyao chuckled, "Even if I don't like you anymore, I have to serve you carefully, not only for you, but also for the child in your belly."

Liu Meiren sat on the soft couch opposite Su Qingyao. Yun Shu hummed at her as if she knew her.

"Look, Shu'er already knows me now, right?" Liu Meiren hugged Yun Shu with a proud look on her face, "Do you miss Empress Liu?"

Yun Shu hummed a few more times and moved her mouth a few times.

"With you here to help me take care of the child, I feel really relaxed." Su Qingyao said.

Liu Meiren laughed, "Let's see, in a few months, who will be tired?"

Su Qingyao couldn't help but imagine what Weiyang Palace would be like in a few months.

With a sister who is six or seven months pregnant and two children over one and a half years old waiting for her to take care of her, I am afraid that there is no such lively place in the entire palace.

"While you are not showing off your ambitions now, please help me to take care of the second prince and the third princess. Otherwise, I won't be able to serve you when you are a month older."

The two of them were teasing the children and talking and laughing, which seemed to be a lot of fun.

Suddenly, Xiao Xiazi ran in from outside in a panic, and said before she had time to breathe, "Empress, Master Liu, and Eunuch Li are here to announce the decree. You two and the young masters should go out to receive the decree."

"What is the decree?" Liu Meiren quickly hugged Yun Shu and walked out of the palace with Su Qingyao.

Before Xiao Xiazi had time to answer, she heard Li Fuhai's shrill voice, "The imperial edict has arrived! The Xian Zhaoyi Su family has accepted the edict!"

Su Qingyao handed Chengjue to Ziqiu who was behind her, took two quick steps forward, and knelt down respectfully, "My concubine, Xian Zhaoyi Su, accepts the order."

Li Fuhai opened the imperial edict with a smile and said loudly, "Holy metaphor, the Xian Zhaoyi Su family is intelligent and agile, beautiful and light, and has a cautious nature. This greatly comforts my heart. I canonize her as a Xian Fei and be given the title of Assistant to the Sixth Palace." This is your authority."

Su Qingyao could think that Emperor Yinde would give her the concubine position, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Xian Fei, please accept the edict." Li Fuhai respectfully handed the edict to Su Qingyao's hand.

Su Qingyao looked flattered and stretched out her hands to receive the imperial edict respectfully, "I accept the edict. Thank you Lord for your kindness. Long live your Majesty."

Li Fuhai smiled along with him, "Everyone, please get up quickly. Congratulations to the Concubine Xian."

Su Qingyao was helped up by Rumeng and smiled at Li Fuhai, "Thank you Eunuch Li. I don't know why your Majesty suddenly made me your concubine."

Li Fuhai smiled and replied, "In fact, it is not sudden. His Majesty has long intended to make you a concubine. However, the Zhou family has been really restless a while ago and has wronged the empress."

"Eunuch Li, what are you talking about?"

Li Fuhai pointed to some silks, jewels and jades at the back and said, "Mother Xian, these are the rewards given to you by Your Majesty. They are all tribute from foreign countries. They are very precious."

Su Qingyao smiled and saw Rumeng trotting out from the inner hall with a purse and handed it to Li Fuhai, "Our queen invites Eunuch Li to drink tea."

After all, being crowned a concubine is a great joy, and even if the imperial edict comes suddenly, one cannot but give rewards to those in front of the emperor.

Li Fuhai did not refuse and took the purse with a smile, "I would like to thank you for your reward."

"Your Majesty is here!" After saying this, Emperor Yin De strode into the courtyard of Weiyang Palace.

Su Qingyao hurried forward to greet him, "I respectfully wish to greet you, Your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."

Emperor Yin De smiled and accepted her gift, then stretched out his hand to help her up, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Su Qingyao accompanied Emperor Yinde to the main hall. Liu Meiren did not want to join in the fun and went directly back to her side hall. She was thinking about what gift to give Su Qingyao as a gift for her promotion to the throne.

In the main hall, Emperor Yinde sat on a soft couch, and Su Qingyao personally served him a cup of hot tea. "Your Majesty did not tell me in advance. When Eunuch Li asked me to accept the order, I was really frightened."

Emperor Yinde took the tea cup and held Su Qingyao in his arms.

"This is the only way to have a surprise. I actually wanted to make you my concubine directly when you gave birth to Jue'er and Shu'er. The Queen also mentioned this matter, but I made you wait for a long time after all."

Su Qingyao gently put her hand on Emperor Yin De's shoulder, "Your Majesty, you know that the last thing a concubine cares about is her position. Besides, I am still young when I enter the palace and I really cannot afford the position of concubine."

"Nonsense. You gave birth to two children for me. I know how you feel about me."

Afterwards, Emperor Yinde pursed his lips and confessed to Su Qingyao everything that happened in the morning.

"Yao'er, I am your husband and an emperor. I confess all this to you in the hope that you can understand me, okay?"

Su Qingyao was already in tears, "I will not embarrass Your Majesty, but I would like to ask Your Majesty to investigate this matter again, so as not to wrongly accuse my cousin."

Emperor Yinde pecked Su Qingyao on the cheek and said, "Okay, I promise you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The news of Su Qingyao's concubine soon spread to the harem. Hui Zhaoyuan was naturally delighted and planned to prepare gifts first and then take Yi An to Weiyang Palace to play with her in the evening after school.

But others may not be so happy.

The queen definitely couldn't say anything. After all, she was the one who brought up this matter. Now even if she has anything to say, she has to keep it in her heart.

Concubine De did not expect that Su Qingyao, who had just entered the palace for less than two years, was already on an equal footing with her.

Su Qingyao still has a prince under her knees. Now that she is named a virtuous concubine, doesn't it mean that she will surpass her and become the first among the concubines?
