I Reaped the Benifits Chapter 7

The night before, the old eunuch came and brought several sets of clothes to the people in Qingping Palace, saying that they were to be worn when they met the emperor the next day.

These five children were all of royal blood verified by the Dragon Stone, and the royal family also intended to recognize them, so this time, a complete set of prince's uniforms was sent to Elliot.

The prince's daily dress is a dark yellow robe with wide sleeves. Because Elliot is still young, he will easily fall over if he wears wide sleeves, so he is given a style with narrow sleeves. He is tied with a black brocade belt embroidered with a Qilin pattern around his waist. When he meets the emperor and his rank is determined, the emperor will grant him a jade belt.

There were several sets of clothes given to Chang'e, in three colors: goose yellow, light pink, and plain white for her to choose from.

"These clothes are all very beautiful. Which one should I choose?" Chang'e, who was undecided, pulled her son who was squatting aside playing with chickens over.

"The girl next door who always glares at me, she specifically wears goose yellow, as for the others..." Elliot scratched his head. The only beautiful clothes he had seen were those worn by the women in Hongshang Courtyard, and they could not be used as a reference.

"Chirp!" The furry little red bird somehow jumped onto the soft couch where the clothes were placed and squatted on the light pink suit.

Women in the martial arts world often like to wear white clothes to show their purity and innocence. If they want to stand out tomorrow, light pink is the best choice. The little red bird tilted its head up and made an unfathomable look, hoping that Elliot could understand what it meant.

However, Elliot obviously didn't understand, and reached out to grab the little red bird: "Don't let the feathers fall on your clothes."

"Chirp, chirp!" the little fur ball quarreled with him in dissatisfaction.

"Let's go with the red one, it looks festive." Chang'e decided.

"Yeah." Elliot agreed.

The little red bird collapsed in Elliot's palm, with its paws raised and a look of despair on its face.

The next morning, when he woke up, the fiery red ball of fur was gone from the bed. Elliot rubbed his eyes, lifted the quilt and looked for it, then jumped out of bed and searched the room again, but still couldn't find it! He looked up at the window, which had been tightly closed, but now had a crack open, just enough for a chick to pass through.

The rare breeding chickens were gone just like that. Elliot was a little depressed. He felt that he had lost countless amounts of money and was heartbroken.

Chang'e put on that pink dress. The wide-sleeved silk dress had fluttering belts, a light red silk sash was tied around her waist, and she wore a pink gauze dress on the outside. Her still young and delicate face looked like a peach blossom covered with dew, which made people unable to take their eyes off her.

Elliot was dressed and had nothing to do, so he slipped into other side halls to take a look. The woman with sharp eyes was indeed wearing a goose yellow skirt. Her dark-skinned son, who was sitting on the side with dull eyes, suddenly looked out the window, which scared Elliot.

This black egg is really scary. Elliot curled his lips secretly and grinned at the man.

The boy was stunned for a moment and gave him a stiff smile.

He went to look around the other rooms. The other two women were good-looking, but perhaps because they had lived a hard life over the years, their faces were inevitably covered with traces of frost. Even the woman in yellow had two deep furrows between her eyebrows. Only his little fairy never knew sorrow.

Elliot sighed in a pretentious manner, and walked to the outside of Amu's house, shaking his head.

"Brother." Amu was standing on the couch, being dressed by the palace maid. When he saw Elliot, he immediately called him.

After I taught him to call brother that day, the little fat boy remembered it. He didn’t cry much in the past two days. In addition to looking for his uncle, he also learned to look for his brother.

"Sh ...

"Why?" Amu blinked, watching Elliot approaching, and couldn't help but reach out and grab the corner of his clothes.

"We can't let them see that we are in the same group." Elliot said seriously. When hanging out in the gang, it is a basic rule not to let others see who your accomplices are before taking action.

Amu nodded, not quite understanding.

Elliot pretended to pat his younger brother's head as a reward, and turned back to his mother. Thinking about that black egg just now, he looked stupid. It would be nice if he could win him over to help him fight in the future.

Chang'e didn't want Biyu and Biyun to interfere, so she took a thin brush and painted a peach blossom makeup. She had a pair of peach blossom eyes like Elliot, and she painted rouge at the end of her eyes, which made her look more charming and lovely.

"Mom, you are like a fairy from heaven. You are so beautiful that I can't take my eyes off you!" Elliot stood in front of the mirror and praised his mother's beauty loudly.

"Little ba5tard, stop talking so much. Who am I doing this for?" Chang'e didn't buy it, and her mood became even worse. If she couldn't get a high position, she couldn't raise her son. That was too terrible. She had to paint carefully even though she hadn't dressed up for so many years.

After leaving Qingping Palace, the women looked at each other and finally focused their attention on Chang'e.

"Hmph, you are so flashy, you don't look like a good girl." The woman in the goose yellow dress glanced at Chang'e and snorted coldly.

Biyu had also found out about this woman's identity in the past two days. She was originally a disciple of the Suxin Sect branch. After being presented to the wandering emperor, the leader of the Suxin Sect accepted her as a genuine disciple. Although she had not made a name for herself in the martial arts world, as a disciple of a large sect, she felt that she was superior to others.

Chang'e was immediately displeased when she heard this. She pinched her waist with one hand and said, "Oh, you slept with a man before you got married and gave birth to a son. You act as if you are a good girl."

"You..." The woman in yellow was choked up and stared at Chang'e for a long time without saying anything. She had never seen such vulgar words in the sect and didn't know how to respond.

"Tsk!" Chang'e rolled her eyes, flicked her handkerchief, and carried Elliot into the sedan chair.

The current emperor, named Zhenglong, was 32 years old, tall, with regular features. Now, wearing a black-based, bright yellow-lined imperial robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, he sat in the main hall of the Purple Palace and spoke calmly to the empress beside him.

The queen was wearing a bright red phoenix robe with gold sprinkled on it, and a nine-phoenix hairpin on her head, which was extremely gorgeous.

"Of course the children have to be kept. What do you plan to do with the girls, Your Majesty?" The Queen lowered her eyes and looked at the birth lists of the girls. "This Cheng Suyao is a disciple of the Suxin Sect. She still needs to be given a status."

"Then give her a Jieyu, and the rest of the women will be given the title of fourth-rank Baolin." The woman in a plum-red skirt embroidered with hundreds of but.terflies and flowers said with a chuckle. This woman was the only imperial c0ncubine in the palace.

"After all, she has made great contributions in giving birth, so it's a bit unreasonable to only confer the title on Baolin." The queen glanced at the imperial c0ncubine but did not scold her for her rude interruption.

As they were talking, everyone from Qingping Palace arrived.

Four women and five children all knelt down and saluted.

"Everyone, get up." The emperor called lazily. He had long forgotten what these women looked like. It was just a fleeting romance, and he would forget about it after that. Besides, after so many years, they had been in the wind and rain, and they must have aged and their beauty had changed. He looked at them indifferently, and his eyes suddenly fixed on

, looking straight at the woman in pink.

The lotus emerges from clear water, naturally without any embellishment.

She was clearly a woman who had given birth to a child, but she was as delicate as a young girl, with a charming smile and beautiful eyes. Her light peach blossom makeup made her skin look smooth and her face looked like a flower, which made people unable to take their eyes away.

The emperor walked down the steps under the astonished gazes of the empress and the imperial c0ncubine, and stood in front of Chang'e: "What is your name?"

"I am Chang'e, a commoner." Chang'e looked up at Emperor Zhenglong. He was still the same person as before, but he looked a little older.

"Chang'e, what a good name..." Emperor Zhenglong said absentmindedly, staring at Chang'e's face.

Elliot looked at the emperor with a smirking face, gritted his teeth, and tried hard to resist the urge to kick him in the crotch.

"The one in the yellow dress must be a disciple of the Suxin Sect, right?" The imperial c0ncubine suddenly asked, "A true disciple of the Qi Sect should have a good reputation, don't you think, Queen?"

The queen lowered her eyes, was silent for a moment and said: "The Suxin Sect's skills are superior martial arts. If you want to stay in the palace as a c0ncubine, you'd better dissipate this skill."

The woman in yellow suddenly widened her eyes.

The emperor finally took his eyes off Chang'e, and sat back on the throne, agreeing with the queen's words. The person who sleeps next to the pillow must not have high martial arts skills. If Cheng Suyao wants to stay in the palace, she must disperse her internal strength. If she doesn't want to disperse it, she can leave her son behind and return to the world.

The woman in yellow gritted her teeth and thought for a while before deciding to stay in the palace. As soon as she finished speaking, a eunuch came forward and gave her a cup of medicine to dissipate her power.

After drinking the medicine, Cheng Suyao trembled all over, fell to the ground in a moment, and screamed. "Ah---"

Elliot was startled, and Chang'e pulled him over and patted him gently. The other children were so scared that they dared not make a sound, and Amu even started crying.

The emperor didn't care much and announced the rank directly.

The girl was considered a princess and given an insignificant title. The other boys were ranked together with the existing princes according to their age.

Elliot is six years old this year and ranks seventh. Amu is the youngest and ranks eleventh.

Cheng Suyao was given the title of a third-rank imperial c0ncubine because of her good family background, and the mothers of the other children were all given the title of beauties.

"As for the seventh prince's mother..." Emperor Zhenglong paused, a little hesitant.

Chang'e's heart rose to her throat. She pinched her thigh, raised her eyes, looked at the emperor with her watery eyes, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"She will be named Chang Jieyushi and granted the right to live in Qingyun Palace." Emperor Zhenglong was moved and said it casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Chang'e knelt down to express her gratitude, leaping with joy.

The queen and the imperial c0ncubine beside them all changed their expressions.
