In the palace, within Yanxi Palace, Consort Yu had already completed her promotion ceremony.
She was dressed in an orange-red banner costume, embroidered with large pink peonies, looking very stately and luxurious.
A headpiece of red-gold agate adorned her, truly making her the most invaluable.
She rested her hand on her abdomen, sitting in the highest seat, with Noble Lady Woon and Noble Lady Qi beneath her.
"You have worked hard today. The festival is coming up soon, and this is what I have for you," Consort Yu indicated the items on the table beside her.
Two sets of head ornaments and one bolt of cloth for each person.
Both Noble Ladies lacked favor; it had been ages since they attended to Emperor Kangxi, naturally, they had nothing of worth.
Noble Lady Woon had borne children and was older, naturally more stable.
Noble Lady Qi, however, was somewhat restless.
