In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and even in the world, every man has three wives and four concubines, and many legitimate and illegitimate sons, not to mention that they are princes.

The more women in the backyard, the more powerful he is.

Yang Susu's words were shocking, and everyone couldn't help but laugh in their hearts, thinking that the third young lady of the Yang family was daydreaming all day long.

Jun Yichen's pair of warm eyes always fell on her calm face, with a warm smile on his lips. He was her heart and her wife, and he could give her everything she wanted.

Yao Yuqiong sneered, "Brother Ming Wang, you see, Yang Susu is just a jealous and whimsical woman, she only has the appearance to seduce men, it's not too late for you to see her true face now, this kind of woman is not worthy of you at all."

Yang Susu: “…”

Emperor Wen Zhao was troubled by Princess Yuqiong's unyielding temper. In the past, when the Empress Dowager was around, Emperor Wen Zhao would turn a blind eye to her behavior out of consideration for her reputation.

But now that the Queen Mother has retired to a Buddhist temple, she still doesn't know how to restrain herself and is still jumping around happily.

Emperor Wen Zhao said in a deep voice: "Well, today is the concubine's birthday, so don't make a fuss. I have made up my mind about the selection of concubines for the princes, so there is no need to say more."

Emperor Wen Zhao's originally happy expression faded a lot after Yao Yuqiong's disturbance.

Xiao Di shrugged helplessly. Yao Yuqiong was too weak. He wanted to use her brute force to give Yang Susu a good beating.

However, he looked at Yang Susu worriedly, thinking that she had gone downstairs to change her dancing clothes, and it had been so long, why hadn't she come back yet?

A trace of worry flashed across that evil face.

Prime Minister Zhou, who was not far away, winked at Wu, who was on the female side.

Wu knew that she must fight for such a good opportunity to leave a better impression on Emperor Wen Zhao and Concubine Xiao.

Now that Jun Minhuai has been named Prince Duan, he is only one step away from becoming the Crown Prince.

The Prime Minister's wife, Mrs. Wu, stood up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Mian'er has also prepared a birthday gift for Your Majesty today, please accept it."

Concubine Xiao smiled faintly: "Oh? I wonder what birthday gift Miss Zhou prepared for me?"

Zhou Mianmian stood up and lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, I have prepared a painting for you, please don't dislike it."

Zhou Mianmian held a painting in her hand and walked forward. With the help of the maid beside her, she slowly opened the one-meter-long scroll.

The painting shows Concubine Xiao sitting among the flowers, looking happy. The maidservant beside her is taking care of her meticulously. Her eyes are looking at Emperor Wen Zhao who is not far away. Emperor Wen Zhao is wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and is talking to an official.

This painting by Zhou Mianmian depicts a real scene.

She remembered that when the flowers were in bloom last year, her grandmother took her to the palace to visit the virtuous concubine, and they happened to meet Concubine Xiao among the flowers. Zhou Mianmian thought that the scene was very beautiful.

So on the Imperial Concubine's birthday this time, she drew it with inspiration.

Concubine Xiao looked at the painting in front of her, her eyes lit up!

She is very beautiful in the painting, especially in this painting, there is also the shadow of the emperor.

Concubine Xiao asked with a smile: "Miss Zhou, is this painting from your hand?"

Zhou Mianmian leaned forward slightly and said, "That's right. Last year, I met the Imperial Concubine admiring flowers in the Imperial Garden. I thought she was more beautiful than the flowers, so I spent several months painting this beautiful scene."
