Shi Qingzhou went outside. After all, the emperor's identity was already there. In addition to the rumors about the emperor pampering her over the past two days, all the imperial concubines that came were very polite on the surface.

"Chenqie greets Empress Dowager." With Soft Imperial Consort and Imperial Consort Shan taking the lead, the remaining seven people took the lead. The nine people saluted Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou slowly sat down on the chair and immediately felt Long Xiaoyuan walk to the back of the screen.

Shi Qingzhou lowered his eyelids. His martial arts and internal energy were not bad. It was not difficult to feel the existence of Long Xiaoyuan.

To be able to rush here so quickly, who would be worried?

This time … This was a good opportunity to test the waters.

Thus, Shi Qingzhou raised his eyes and swept over everyone who paid their respects. Because Shi Qingzhou did not say anything, those palace concubines did not change their greetings positions.

Some of them were already tired after squatting down.

Soft Imperial Consort and Imperial Consort Shan, the two people who usually doted on each other, already revealed displeasure on their faces.

The emperor had always hated the empress. He'd only doted on her a little these past few days, but the empress had already taken Qiao Qiao's hand? Aren't they putting them in their eyes too much?

One had to know, they were the ones who were really in charge of dealing with the imperial harem affairs!

The women now did not know that the phoenix imprint were in Shi Qingzhou's hands!

After a long while, Shi Qingzhou finally said lightly: "Get up."

Soft Imperial Consort and the rest stood up with stiff smiles on their faces.

"Sit." Shi Qingzhou's voice was even more indifferent.

The group of palace maid's served the various palace concubines as they sat down in their respective seats.

There was naturally a need to pay attention to this position as well.

The two imperial concubines were placed to the left and right of Shi Qingzhou, followed by his concubines, Zhao Yi, and finally, the beauties.

There weren't many concubines in this dynasty, and those who had just entered the palace and hadn't received the favor of the emperor were called maids. It was only slightly better than palace maid's. After that, she would be favored by others, and those with rewards would be conferred the title of 'Beauty'. If she didn't receive the reward, she would still be a maid. Above the beauty was Zhao Yi. Above Zhao Yi was the concubine, above the concubine was the imperial concubine, and above the imperial concubine was the queen.

"Empress Dowager, we sisters came today to see the empress. I heard that the empress wasn't feeling too well for a few days ago, and we were afraid that we would disturb Empress Dowager's rest, so we never came. Empress Dowager won't blame us, right?" The first to speak was Soft Imperial Consort.

Here, she had the most seniority. Although she and Imperial Consort Shan were imperial concubines, she was still the one the Emperor usually doted on the most. She also had more power than Imperial Consort Shan. This was something she was always proud of.

Shi Qingzhou looked at her indifferently. You're being considerate. I originally wanted to call you guys over, but since you guys just so happened to be here today, I happen to have received something from This Palace, and I still need to inform you guys about it. "

What Shi Qingzhou said made Soft Imperial Consort and the rest look at each other in dismay.

Finally, it was Imperial Consort Shanjiao who laughed. May I know what object Empress Dowager is referring to? "

"It's almost the end of the year, and the various palaces in the palace need a grand ceremony. The Grand Palace Banquet's small palace feast is also coming along, and there are many things to do. The Emperor has already handed this matter over to This Palace, and there is a need for your cooperation."

Shi Qingzhou's words made everyone's faces change drastically.

Shi Qingzhou casually threw down another bomb. The Emperor was afraid that This Palace would be annoyed and handed the phoenix imprint over to This Palace at the same time. Since everyone has come today, This Palace will now inform everyone of what needs to be done, in order to prevent any of you from being late in preparing. "

When everyone heard that the phoenix imprint had landed on Shi Qingzhou, their expressions changed once again.
