[under editing]Transmigration : Wake Up as an Annoying Concubine

9 - Tea party

Xiu Ying chose a light blue robe with small embroidery at the end of the outer robe. Hair ties up in a ponytail and no makeup. If he comes to a party like this, he got the simplest looks but still....the prettiest. 

Xiu Ying looks at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but scoffs. 'I can fall in love with myself.'

Jing Yi smiles widely, feeling satisfied with his work on Xiu Ying's hair. 'Now, no one can belittle my young master's look!'

Xiu Ying walks to Yanxi Palace, where Noble Consort Li Na resides. Along the way, the servants and guards couldn't help but turn their heads around and their eyes kept on sticking to Xiu Ying until his figure was out of view.

Actually, it was wrong for other men to stare at the emperor's concubine but the urge to admire the beautiful figure makes them forget about the rule.

When Xiu Ying arrived at Yanxi palace, he was a little bit surprised because all three consorts were already there, enjoying their tea.

Xiu Ying quickly approached them and couldn't help but smirk in his heart when he saw the snickers on two from three of them. When he is a meter from them, Xiu Ying greets them one by one.

"Greetings Noble Consort Li Na"

"Greetings Consort Hui Yin"

"Greetings Concubine Wen Qian"

Looking at Xiu Ying's stunning appearance, Li Na and Hui Yin couldn't help but frown. But not Concubine Wen Qian, who prefers to steal a glance once in a while then lowers her head.

"Oh my... Concubine Xiu Ying. It's not proper of you to come late to our party. As a concubine, time is gold. You need to be punctual," said Hui Yin while scanning him up and down.

"Well, since it's just us today, so we don't mind. But what if you're going to attend any banquet or meeting with His Majesty and you're late, you'll bring shame to His Majesty's face!" Li Na sighs and shakes her head, showing that she's disappointed with Xiu Ying.

'Wow! Never thought they were going to start as soon as I came here. Hasty, aren't they?' Xiu Ying remains unaffected by their words.

"Sorry, My Ladies. But Xiao Mao, Lady Li Na's servant informed me that the tea party will be held this evening, so I don't think I was late." With his face held straight, Xiu Ying retorts.

"Oh my... yes it's in the evening but shouldn't you come earlier than that? If Li Na jiejie said evening, then you should come before evening time!" Hui Yin slightly raises her voice.

Xiu Ying turns his poker face to Hui Yin, "If this concubine is not mistaken, the earliest time for tea to be served in the evening is in shen hours, am I right? But now, there is still a quarter of an hour before shen hours. That's mean, all of my ladies are just TOO EARLY and I'm not even late."
