Chapter 455: The Official Lady's Rise

In the palace.

皇上自从没有了苏媛巧之后,便又开始成日里往秦贵妃的宫中而去。

这几日,他得了一只玉簪,那簪子通体发绿,还挂着一只盘着金丝线的玉珠。

There is only one hairpin like this in the palace recently.

It was originally intended by the Emperor to reward Su Yuanqiao on the day she successfully gives birth to a child.

But now, Su Yuanqiao is in trouble, and this hairpin has ended up in the hands of Queen Qin.

The Emperor handed the hairpin to Lady Qin and asked, "My beloved, do you like it?"

Lady Qin glanced at the hairpin briefly, and her heart sank.

Although the jade on the hairpin was greenish, it was still emerald, not a suitable hairpin for her age.

“这簪子好看是好看。”秦贵妃接过那簪子,看了两眼,露出一个淡淡的笑容,“只是这簪子到底也是年轻女孩的东西。陛下怎么想起来赏给臣妾了。”

Upon hearing this, the emperor's lips curled upwards twice.

他呵呵一笑,面带微笑地盯着那只簪子,低声道:“这满宫中我看着只有爱妃你最适合戴这只簪子,其他人都不配戴。”

Qin Guifei lowered her head, but she cornered her eyes to steal a glance at the Emperor.

She revealed a faint, coquettish smile and said, "If the Emperor gives the hairpin to the concubine, does that mean it belongs to the concubine?"

The Emperor nodded and whispered, "Yes. What's the matter?"

"Then if I were to give this hairpin to someone else, would it not be considered deceiving the Emperor?" Empress Qin chuckled, looking at the Emperor. She swayed her upper body back and forth twice, with a faint smile lingering on her lips.

“送给别人?”皇上有几分诧异地凝视着秦贵妃,低声问道。

秦贵妃笑了笑,对身后的默默低声道:“去请咱们宫中的贵客来。”

After finishing speaking, Momo silently nodded and turned to leave.

The emperor stared in astonishment at Momo's departing figure and asked in a low voice, "What? Is there really a young girl in the imperial palace who is worthy of this hairpin, beloved concubine?"

"Of course, that's only natural," laughed Empress Qinxuan. "There are plenty of young and beautiful women in the palace. But Your Majesty's attention has always been on Consort Qiaomei, so naturally there was no time to focus on the women in my palace."

The Emperor's eyes narrowed: "That wretch, why even mention her?"

"Your Majesty said not to mention her, so we won't." Empress Qin smiled and carefully examined the hairpin.

She secretly thought in her heart: It would be a pity if such a good thing were given to that person. However, if you want to win people's hearts, you must have some means; otherwise, it won't work.

Thinking to myself, I quietly followed a woman wearing a veil as she walked in.

The woman appeared graceful and slender.

Her steps were light, and although her face was covered by a veil, her eyes were very beautiful.

“Who is this?” The emperor couldn't see clearly through the veil, but felt that those eyes were very familiar.

“Your Majesty.” The woman did not remove her veil, she just slightly bowed and saluted.

Hearing that voice, the emperor's whole body tingled.

His throat moved up and down as he looked at the person in astonishment.

秦贵妃立在皇上身边,盯着皇上的侧脸,小心翼翼地对皇上道:“陛下,这便是臣妾宫中最近新来的贵客。皇上瞧着,可还眼熟?”

The Emperor suddenly turned his head with a touch of anger, staring at Concubine Qin.

In a low voice, with his face hanging down, he said loudly, "How dare you."

Upon hearing this, both Concubine Qin and the woman kneeled down with a thump.

Although the Emperor couldn't see the woman's face clearly, he was very familiar with her voice.

That was Su Yuanmu.

Su Yuanqiao's elder sister.

No wonder the Emperor found those eyes very familiar. Translated content: "

这苏媛穆和苏媛巧之间虽然是双胞胎,可是苏媛巧的长相比起苏媛穆可是强得多。

However, there is one thing, the two of them look very similar.

And it was those eyes.

Su Yuanqiao's eyes were captivating.

Su Yuanmu's eyes were affectionate and tender.

In the past, when Su Yuanqiao was around, the Emperor didn't think much of Su Yuanmu's appearance.

可是,如今没有了苏媛巧,这苏媛穆便越看越顺眼起来。

皇上一见到苏媛穆,便想起了苏媛巧,除了一开始的那一抹心动之外,更多的是对苏媛穆的恼怒。

Qin Guifei and Su Yuanmu knelt on the ground, their hands resting on their knees, bowing their heads without saying a word, even afraid to breathe.

After a long time, Qin Guifei slowly lifted her head and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, it is not I who did it. Qin Yuwan, the wife of Su Xiangyi, is my younger sister, and Su Yuanmu and others are considered my nieces. Su Yuanmu had a fright and came to seek comfort from me." Please note that the translation is approximate and may not capture the full nuance of the original Chinese text.

The Emperor's heart sank as he heard her words, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He leaned closer to Empress Qin, gazing into her eyes, and whispered, "I had forgotten about this connection between you and the Su family. So, this Miss Su is currently in your palace. Besides comforting her, is there anything else you need her for?"

Seeing this, Empress Qin took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and whispered, "Your Majesty, there is nothing else."

"Is that so?" The Emperor's gaze fell on Su Yuanmu's face, his lips quivered, and he chuckled, "This Miss Su has a remarkably beautiful appearance. How about staying in the palace?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Qin slowly turned her head and looked at Su Yuanmu.

Su Yuanmu's throat moved up and down, her lips pressed together. After a long while, she suddenly raised her head and stared into the Emperor's eyes: "Your Majesty, this humble woman came into the palace just to have a chat with Empress Qin. There is absolutely no intention to stay in the palace. I kindly request Your Majesty to investigate this matter."

Emperor heard the words, his lips twitched twice, and he curiously stared at Su Yuanmu's face: "Why don't you want to stay in the palace?"

"Your Majesty, Su Yuanqiao happens to be my younger sister and has already died in the palace. Your servant... how could your servant dare to enter the palace again? When your servant was in the women's chamber, I often heard people mention that being with the ruler is like being with a tiger. Your servant dares not enter the palace." Su Yuanmu looked into the Emperor's eyes and whispered.

Emperor's expression changed as he heard the words.

He grabbed Su Yuanmu's chin and shouted loudly, "You are the first person who dares to speak to Us like this."

Su Yuanmu stared into the Emperor's eyes.

In those affectionate and determined eyes, there emerged a hint of resoluteness. "If Your Majesty believes that I deserve death simply because I spoke a few truthful words, then I have nothing else to say."

The emperor looked into her eyes and was slightly surprised.

He slowly released Su Yuanmu's chin, straightened up, and smiled faintly, "Empress Qin, from today onwards, this woman will remain in your palace and start as an official lady."
