As the morning sun rises, golden sunlight sprinkles into every corner of the palace, heralding the beginning of an extraordinary day.
Today is the grand ceremony for the induction of Emperor Han Yu's concubine, and the entire palace is immersed in a solemn and fervent atmosphere.
From early morning, countless carriages and flower boats slowly made their way along the main streets and canals of the capital city. Each carriage and flower boat was decorated in a magnificent manner, showcasing the noble status of its passengers.
Seated on these carriages and flower boats were women from the court officials and influential families, who would become the new batch of palace concubines in the Zhou Dynasty.
These hundreds of wind and dust young women, aged between fourteen and eighteen, come from prominent royal families or from the households of court officials.
Their attire varies, with some wearing embroidered long skirts and others draped in delicate silk shawls, each garment carefully chosen to showcase their beauty and nobility.
With their arrival, the atmosphere in the palace became livelier. The palace maids were busy guiding these women into the palace, their steps light and graceful, their faces showing a mix of anticipation and nervousness.
Each woman was accompanied by one or two maids, who were also dressed exquisitely, every movement displaying the nobility of their mistress.
These women entered the palace in batches according to the official ranks of their families. The higher the family status, the more luxurious their carriages or flower boats, some of which were even adorned with gold, silver, and jewels, and decorated with silk and pearls, displaying the wealth and power of their families.
Queen Chen Feng'er and Emperor Han Yu, through the half-drawn curtain, carefully observed the appearance and demeanor of these women. Their gazes pierced through the curtains, observing these women who were about to become members of the harem. Every woman's behavior, speech, and even subtle changes in expression were under the scrutiny of the queen and the emperor.
Chen Feng'er whispered to Han Yu: "Your Majesty, today the harem will welcome many new faces, each carefully selected as the best beauties from their respective families."
Han Yu nodded, a hint of contemplation in his eyes: "Indeed, these women not only represent their families, but also the new power within our palace. Each addition will have an impact on the balance of the harem."
First is the daughter of the Grand Preceptor, named Su Wanyi, from an ancient and prominent family.
Her temperament is elegant, her demeanor dignified, and her eyes reveal a subtle and not easily detectable intelligence.
Su Wanyi's steps are steady, and when her eyes sweep in the direction of the queen, they reveal a hint of awe.
Next is the daughter of the Grand Commandant, named Han Wanrong. Her family is known for their martial arts prowess. Han Wanrong has a tall and straight figure, with a determined look in her eyes, giving off a sense of not to be underestimated.
Her movements carry the demeanor of a warrior, and every step appears particularly powerful.
The last one is Situ's daughter, named Lin Zhi Ruo, who comes from a family known for their knowledge.
Lin Zhi Ruo has a beautiful appearance, with a scholarly look in her eyes. Her speech reveals a profound cultural background, and every word she says seems particularly elegant.
Chen Feng'er quietly observed these women, feeling a bit emotional in her heart. She knew that their arrival would bring new waves to the harem.
Su Wanyi walked solemnly to Chen Feng'er's side, bowed respectfully, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Queen."
Chen Feng'er nodded slightly, showing her admiration for her, " Miss Su has an extraordinary temperament, good upbringing, and a remarkable demeanor, leaving a deep impression on people."
Su Wanyi smiled and responded, "Thank you for the Queen's praise. I have been taught by my father since I was young, and I have some knowledge of poetry, books, and etiquette."
Emperor Han Yu's gaze softened as he looked at Su Wanyi and nodded in approval, "With your deep family background and abundant talent, I have high expectations for your future."
Su Wanyi Upon hearing the emperor's praise, a humble smile appeared on her face as she respectfully said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty. I will do my best and live up to your expectations."
Chen Feng'er turned to Han Wanrong and asked, "Miss Han, I heard that your family is famous for martial arts. Do you also have some knowledge in this area?"
Han Wanrong stood up straight and confidently replied, "To the Empress Dowager, Xue Fei has been learning martial arts with her father since she was young. Although she does not dare to claim expertise, she has a certain level of accomplishment."
A hint of approval flashed in Emperor Han Yu's eyes, "Miss Han comes from a prominent family and has an extraordinary demeanor. I believe that you will be able to display your unique charm in the palace."
Han Wanrong After listening, her eyes revealed determination: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise. I will do my best to share your worries."
Chen Feng'er smiled and turned to Lin Zhi Ruo: "Miss Lin, I heard that your family is famous for its knowledge. What area of study are you most interested in?"
Lin Zhi Ruo gently replied, "To answer Your Majesty, since childhood, Zhi Ruo has had a deep love for books, especially for ancient poetry."
Emperor Han Yu spoke in a gentle tone and smiled, "Miss Lin has unique insights into poetry, and I look forward to hearing you recite poetry in the imperial garden."
Lin Zhi Ruo showed a look of pleasant surprise on her face and replied softly, "Your Majesty is too kind. If Zhi Ruo can use poetry to dispel Your Majesty's boredom, it would be a great honor."
Emperor Han Yu is satisfied with the performance of these three new concubines, knowing that their addition will bring new vitality to the palace.
He turned to look at Chen Feng'er with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, as if concerned about her opinion of these new concubines.
Chen Feng'er nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of contemplation: "Your Majesty, each of these women has their own unique qualities, and I believe the days in the palace will be even more colorful."
Upon hearing Chen Feng'er's words, Emperor Han Yu's eyes flashed with a sense of relief. He knew that with Chen Feng'er in the palace, these new concubines would receive good guidance and care.
He whispered to Chen Feng'er, "Feng'er, I believe you can handle the affairs of the harem properly and share my worries."
Chen Feng'er smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of determination. "Your Majesty, rest assured, the servants will do their best."
Among these new concubines, there is a special woman, she is the daughter of a famous general, named Luo Ling.
Luo Ling's father, Luo Tianquan, is an old general who fought alongside Emperor Han Yu from the battlefield to the palace.
The emperor appreciates Luo Wudi's loyalty and achievements, and always takes special care of his family's affairs. Even when Luo Wudi oversteps at times, the emperor often turns a blind eye.
Luo Ling's words reveal her hopes and humility for the future. Her gaze is firm and clear, as if in the complex harem, she has already found her position and goal.
Chen Feng'er nodded slightly, a hint of contemplation flashing in her eyes. She knew that Luo Ling was not just an ordinary concubine; she had powerful family support and extraordinary talent.
In the chess game of the harem, Luo Ling was undoubtedly an important piece.
"Lady Luo, your arrival brings a new strength to the harem. I look forward to what you can accomplish here," Emperor Han Yu's voice rang out at this moment, his gaze sweeping over Luo Ling with a hint of expectation.
Luo Ling bowed slightly, her voice carrying a hint of humility, "Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty. Luo Ling will do her utmost to live up to Your Majesty's expectations."
