Rebirth: The imperial concubine is no longer jealous, and the emperor panics

Lu Lingchuan's eyes became slightly moist when he heard Shen Yao say that he would go to Wanfo Temple to eat and pray for Buddha.

"Yao'er, you are so kind."

"Then I'll arrange for someone to take you there early tomorrow morning."

Although the man from Lu Lingchuan was lying on his stomach, he kept tilting his head and looking at Shen Yao. Deep and bright eyes, with soft light, were always flowing on her small porcelain face.

"When you go there, remember to come back early. My husband is waiting for you here."

He warned earnestly. Gradually, his eyelids felt heavy, and then he slowly closed his eyes.

Shen Yao stretched out her hand and stroked it gently along the peak of his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes.

Listening to his slightly heavy breathing due to injury, it gradually became light and shallow. Shen Yao climbed over him with gentle hands and feet, got off the bed, opened the cupboard door, and put on embroidered shoes.

As long as she survives the Queen's Night Banquet tonight, and then leaves the palace tomorrow, she can return to the normal world and see her father.

Returning to Zhilan Palace, because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the courtyard was filled with all kinds of precious chrysanthemums. Palace lanterns with jade rabbits worshiping the moon are hung on the verandah.

The Eight Immortals table in the inner hall was filled with moon cakes and various snacks and fruits sent from the imperial kitchen.

"Your Majesty, this lotus paste and egg yolk filling is your favorite. Just take this chrysanthemum tea to soothe your belly first."

Chun Nong said that when the young lady went to a palace banquet, there was never a time when she came back without holding her stomach and complaining that she was hungry. With the queen here, even if she behaved like a non-existent quail every time, she never escaped verbal beatings.

Shen Yao ate most of the moon cake, washed herself up, and then sat in front of the water chestnut mirror and let Chun Nong dress her up.

She was born beautiful, with well-proportioned bones, picturesque eyebrows and light makeup. At previous palace banquets, she tried her best to dress herself up, hoping to scare away those women who wanted to enter the East Palace with her splendid appearance.

But they have forgotten the truth that even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.

"But, how do I dress myself..." Shen Yao looked at her younger self in the mirror. She knew that no matter how she dressed, whether it was extravagant or luxurious, or low-key and simple, she would not please Queen Lu Lingchuan.

At the palace banquet in Fengzao Palace, the queen sat on the phoenix throne.

The palace concubines were dressed in various colors and sat in two rows with their wives according to their positions. Following Wang Yunling, Shen Yao also entered the palace to salute the queen, and then the palace officials led them to sit down one by one.

The Crown Princess sat on the left side of the Queen, but Shen Yao's seat was far away, separated by the Prime Minister's wife, the Censor's wife and several other ministers.

She used to be angry and frustrated at such contempt and neglect, but today, with a slight smile on her lips, she just sat in her seat obediently and consciously.

"The Crown Princess is dignified and decent. And the concubine is beautiful. Your Highness is so lucky."

"It's just that there are fewer female relatives in the East Palace. It's not lively enough during this New Year's Day."

"Your Majesty, at the age of the Crown Prince, already has many concubines in the harem."

The ladies of destiny are talking all over the place, all for the purpose of stuffing women into the East Palace.

The queen clapped her hands, and next to her, Nanny Qin led a group of young girls to stand in the main hall of Fengzao Palace.

The queen smiled and said,——

"The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's Concubine, you two have served the Crown Prince the longest and understand his preferences best. So I will leave the important task of choosing a harem for the Emperor to you today."

After the queen finished speaking, a pair of phoenix eyes fell on Wang Yunling's face. She looked at her and then looked at Shen Yao.

"Daughter-in-law, I obey." Wang Yunling stood up and saluted the queen on the phoenix throne. Shen Yao also stood up respectfully.

In the previous life, the queen always liked to play tricks on palace banquets and give women to Lu Lingchuan.

Every time that happened, Shen Yao would always have a face full of disdain, and then start a fight with Lu Lingchuan.

Now she will never make trouble again. No matter whether she is dreaming or not, her past self took her lover too seriously and took herself too lightly.

"Sister Shen, His Highness loves you the most. Of these women, who do you think should be kept?"

Wang Yunling threw this question in front of Shen Yao. As soon as she finished speaking, all the wives stretched their necks and widened their eyes, waiting to see how the crown prince's concubine would respond.

It is indeed a cruel move to let a petite daughter of a grand master who only relies on her husband's love to choose concubines for her beloved man.

Shen Yao smiled lightly and said,——

"The Crown Princess is virtuous and generous, how could I not imitate it? These six women are all as beautiful as flowers,"

Shen Yao looked around pretending to be mysterious, then waved her hand grandly, "It's really hard to choose."

"In that case, let's take them all back to the East Palace."

Shen Yao curled her lips and smiled. Although everything in this dream was vivid, she had long understood that although the women in the harem lived by the king's favor, favor was not everything.

At this moment, Shen Yao's virtuous and generous attitude silenced everyone who was waiting to see her joke. Ask yourself, they have always been reluctant to take concubines to their husbands.

The queen failed to find out Shen Yao's faults in front of everyone, and did not blame her at the palace banquet today. She just reluctantly assigned two of the beauties to stay in Shen Yao's Zhilan Palace.

So, when the palace banquet was over, Shen Yao and the Crown Princess led those graceful and beautiful girls back to the East Palace together.

At this time, there were six more gorgeous women in the Prince's East Palace.

She tried hard to think about how she would deal with Lu Lingchuan if she and Lu Lingchuan could live again. Would she really be able to avoid fighting or jealousy?

It's difficult, right? The reason why she became free and easy afterward was because she died once and was able to stop loving her.

Shen Yao entered the East Palace and had just separated from Wang Yunling. Behind her was a beauty. She walked with her head held high, taking a leisurely stroll through the courtyard.

Halfway down the road, a fat head poked out.

Wang Dafu smiled and cupped his hands towards her, and said, "Back to the concubine, His Royal Highness woke up and did not see the empress. After waiting for a long time, I specially ordered a servant to invite the empress to come over."

Shen Yao pondered for a moment and ordered Chun Nong to take the two women back to Zhilan Palace and make sure they were properly placed. After giving the instructions, she followed Wang Dafu to the prince's bedroom.

Entering the Li Zheng Hall, a clear voice came from behind the curtain, reciting the memorial word for word.

After he finished reading, a familiar male voice soon gave detailed instructions in a clear and logical manner.

"Pass the decree to reject the Yangzhou General Tribunal. Order Yushitai and Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the case of illicit salt."

Lu Lingchuan was like this and couldn't be idle. In the past, he always spent most of his time in the study and Qinzheng Hall, and then spent the rest of his time accompanying Shen Yao.

Shen Yao stood outside the hall, not disturbing, just waiting quietly.

Tomorrow morning, she will also say goodbye to him as a young man.

Shen Yao made up her mind that after the dream, she would leave Chang'an and travel around.

If I go to the capital now, it depends on whether I have the chance to come back in this life.
