Chapter 339: Guar Jia Wen Yuan 23

Jin Xi hurried forward, wiping her wet collar while gently admonishing her, "My queen, be careful of getting burned. Even if you are unhappy, you can't take your body as an excuse."

Zhen Huan grabbed Jin Xi's hand with such force that Jin Xi couldn't help but frown in pain. She asked in a trembling voice, "Jin Xi, tell me, does the emperor...really dislike me?"

Jin Xi was shocked by her appearance. The usually dignified and elegant Concubine Wan seemed to have disappeared in an instant, replaced by an ordinary woman who was in great pain because her lover had fallen in love with someone else.

She sighed and said softly, "My lady, what are you talking about? How the emperor treats you is something everyone in the harem has noticed. In this harem, whoever is favored for a while thinks that he is the moon, but there is only one moon and there are thousands of stars. Who can guarantee that he will always be the brightest one?"

"But..." Zhen Huan bit her lip, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

"The Emperor, he obviously treated me very well before. He said that I was the one who understood him the most. He said that I was his indispensable confidant..."

"Your Highness, don't think about it. Maybe this is just a temporary impulse of the Emperor. Just think about it, how arrogant and domineering this Concubine Li was in the past. Who knows, maybe the Emperor will get tired of her in a few days, and then..."

Jing Xi's words calmed Zhen Huan's pounding heart a little. Yes, Wen Yuan was so arrogant and domineering before, and looked down on everyone. Even though she is in favor now, it may not last forever.

How could a woman as vulgar as Wen Yuan be compared with herself?

"The emperor... maybe he was just confused for a moment." Zhen Huan murmured to herself, the tears in her eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a touch of determination.

"I will not admit defeat just like that. It is still unknown who will have the last laugh in this harem."

The emperor must have been dazzled by her temporary novelty, but once the novelty wore off, he would find that she was vulgar, rude and uneducated.

"The Emperor treats me differently after all..." Zhen Huan murmured to herself.

The enthronement ceremony was scheduled for the eighth day of the fifth month. Yinzhen specially ordered the Ministry of Rites to select the finest oriental pearls and corals from the warehouse to make a phoenix crown. The auspicious clothes were even more grand, and every stitch was made by the embroiderers of the Jiangnan Weaving House who worked hard until their eyes turned red.

When the news reached Yongshou Palace, Wen Yuan was bored and playing with the thrush in the cage.

"The Emperor really dotes on the Empress. This canonization ceremony is even more splendid than the one held for the Empress Wanpin back then."

As Jingtai spoke, he carefully folded the newly delivered Shu brocade fabric and placed it in a carved wooden box.

"Of course, don't you see who I am?"

Wen Yuan curled the corners of her mouth and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, the sun was shining, the sky was clear, and the entire palace was immersed in a joyous atmosphere.

The palace servants came and went, arranging various matters in an orderly manner, not daring to slack off in the slightest. All the palaces were decorated with lights and colors, and the atmosphere was festive. Even the flowers in the imperial garden seemed to have been carefully trimmed, appearing particularly delicate and beautiful.

Wen Yuan was awakened from her sleep by Jingtai early in the morning, and the palace maids came in one after another to help her wash and dress up.

The woman in the bronze mirror has skin whiter than snow, features beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a faint smile on the corners of her mouth, which makes her look even more beautiful and charming.

"Your Majesty looks so beautiful today." Jingtai said with a smile as he was dressing her.

"When the Emperor sees this, he will surely love the Empress even more."

Wen Yuan curled her lips and smiled, her eyes full of confidence.

As the auspicious time approached, Wen Yuan, surrounded by palace maids, went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to receive the title.

However, just as Wen Yuan was happily preparing to change into the ceremonial dress for the enthronement ceremony, she discovered that the auspicious dress sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was damaged.

A long crack suddenly appeared on the phoenix pattern embroidered with gold thread, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade, and it looked particularly glaring.

"What's going on?!" Jingtai exclaimed, his face suddenly turned pale.

"Your Majesty, this auspicious dress..." Jingtai held the torn dress in trembling hands, his face pale.

Wen Yuan's smile froze on her face. She snatched the clothes away and saw that the luxurious golden phoenix robe was covered with holes cut by scissors. The hem was torn to pieces. It was no longer wearable!

"Which dog did this?!" Wen Yuan was so angry that her eyebrows raised and her eyes widened, her usual charm was gone.

"I...I don't know either!" Jingtai fell to his knees in fear, saying tremblingly.

"This dress was just delivered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When we opened the box, we found..."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs! How dare you!" Wen Yuan threw the tattered clothes to the ground, burning with anger.

"Someone, go check for me! Find out who is so bold as to act so presumptuously during my enthronement ceremony!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!" Jingtai and the other palace maids knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

Wen Yuan was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down.

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came trembling with fear, holding a new auspicious dress in their hands, and apologized, saying that they had accidentally damaged the previous one, which led to the collision with Wen Yuan.

Wen Yuan took the auspicious dress and looked at it. She found that although its style was luxurious, it was not the popular style at the time. The material also looked a little old, but it was well preserved, so nothing could be seen.

Wen Yuan was confused and asked, "Why did you bring an old piece of clothing? Are you bullying me because I don't know the rules?"

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were so frightened after hearing this that they immediately knelt down and explained, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me! This... this was originally a lucky dress, which symbolizes the phoenix's nirvana and good luck, but it was put aside for some reason. We servants thought that Your Majesty is now in the limelight, and the meaning of this lucky dress is very suitable for Your Majesty, so we dared to..."

"Enough!" Wen Yuan interrupted him impatiently.

Wen Yuan’s eyes opened wide, her anger almost setting this magnificent palace on fire.

"Ridiculous! I am the Li Consort appointed by the Emperor himself. On such a grand day of the enthronement ceremony, how dare you from the Ministry of Internal Affairs fool me with an old dress?! Do you think I am easy to bully and that you don't even take the Emperor seriously?!"

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was so frightened that he fell to his knees and explained tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please calm down! This symbolizes the rebirth of the phoenix and good luck! We are just thinking of you because we see that you are so popular now..."

"Shut up!" Wen Yuan interrupted him harshly.

"Phoenix Nirvana? I guess you are hoping that I will be reborn from the dead!"
