Concubine Wan Gui was so happy that she put down the hairpin in her hand and stroked the new clusters of auspicious clothes in the tray in disbelief. She looked at the dazzling golden thread and the gorgeous phoenix, and she just felt like she was dreaming. After a long time, he said in surprise: "Is this really a reward from Lord Long Live?"
The little maid hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Of course it was given to your Majesty by the Long Live Lord. Otherwise, how could the people in the Needlework Bureau dare to spread the imperial edict? Madam, as soon as the first month came out, the Long live Lord kept asking the Needlework Bureau The people brought the auspicious clothes to the empress, which shows how impatient the long live master is, and he is waiting to appoint the empress as his queen! Congratulations to the empress! "
"Don't talk nonsense, it hasn't happened yet," Concubine Wan Gui pursed her lips, reached out and took out the Jifu spread on the soft couch and looked at it carefully. No matter how she looked at it, she thought it looked good. She couldn't get enough of it. She couldn't help but She sighed, "It's a phoenix after all, it's the queen's auspicious costume after all. It's so luxurious and beautiful."
"Isn't it? This phoenix is the most noble bird in the world, just like your Majesty, you are also the most noble woman in Dali." The little maid also watched along and said with an apologetic smile, "By the way, Madam, Long live the Lord just told me that I really want to see the empress wearing this auspicious dress with five phoenixes and scarlet ruffles, so I specially asked you to wear the auspicious dress to the Hall of Supreme Harmony tonight."
"Did Master Long Live really say that?" Concubine Wan Gui was a little surprised, "Master Long Live actually let me wear this auspicious robe to the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"
The young maid nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it was passed down by Eunuch Xiao Anzi of Taihe Palace, so it must be true."
Concubine Wan Gui frowned slightly: "But I am still a concubine after all, so how can I wear the auspicious clothes prescribed by the queen? If someone sees me, there may be some unpleasant words."
"The empress is not secretly wearing the queen's auspicious clothes. She is doing so on the order of Lord Long Live. Where can't she wear it? Don't worry, Madam!" The little maid smiled and said, "Lord Long Live has long wanted to register as the queen. , Now that the first lunar month is out, I can’t wait any longer. Madam, you must not let down the wishes of the Long Live Lord.”
Although Concubine Wan Gui still felt something was wrong in her heart, she still put on the crimson and golden thorns and five phoenix auspicious clothes. In fact, she had long been eager to wear the queen's auspicious clothes. She stood up and turned slowly in the mirror. After getting dressed, she stared unblinkingly at the woman in the mirror. She looked graceful and noble, as if she were a god. She curled her lips proudly and took out a ruby beaded crested gold-step hairpin from the dressing table. Into the temples.
"Empress, you are really dazzling in your auspicious clothes. You are much more luxurious and elegant than the former Empress Chunxiao. When the Long Live Lord sees it, he will definitely love the Chong Empress even more," the little maid kept flattering, while kneeling on the ground to give her Concubine Wan Gui kowtowed, "My slave, please give my regards to the Queen! The Queen may live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
Concubine Wan Gui pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Get up, I will call you when I call you in the future."

Concubine Wan Gui got off the sedan, and with the support of her maid, she entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony with graceful steps.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony was silent and solemn. Only Zhao Ruhai was waiting in front of the door.

It’s been a while.”
