Vote!The Crown Princess was wearing a blue gown with white intricate designs which was covered in fur that around wrapped her curved shoulders to keep her warm during the winter and adorned silver and navy jewellery to match the dress. It was time for the concubine selection and Xin was dressed to kill, news of her pregnancy had spread across Tang everyone was celebrating the news except for one person of course Empress Zhang.
The Empress was in disbelief when she found out the news, she was infuriated that her plans of demoting Yang Xin were ruined. She thought hard as to why the infertility medicine didn't work on Xin. But she still had another plan up her sleeve which was of course Zhen Li. Empress Zhang was planning on selecting Zhen Li as Jian's concubine of the rank Madame.
"Bai all the woman in the great hall will swallow their prides once the they see me! Don't you agree? I know that wretched Zhen Li will be there, but you know what I don't care about her after all I am pregnant with a future emperor!" Xin said twirling in her dress.
"Your highness your beauty makes flowers turn away in shame, and birds chirp melodies when they see you walk past, you are beautiful, much more prettier then the favoured consort Kang when she was young", Said Bai.
"You flatter me too much, did you do what I asked of you earlier?" Xin asked smirking.
"Yes your highness, I had one of the kitchen maids add sleeping tonic in the wine", Bai said bowing.
Xin laughed giving Bai a hug, remembering how far she has come with Bai, she remembered when Bai first entered Yang manor with her mother looking for work they instantly became close friends. Bai knows Xins deepest and darkest secrets, the princess cannot imagine life without her lady in waiting.
"Bai if I become Empress and you continue to remain loyal to me, I will find you a decent noble man to marry if that's what you want of course anything for you", Xin said grasping Bai's arms.
"Your highness, You'd do that for someone lowly like me? No I can't accept that my life is to serve you and only you till I die", Bai said tears forming in her dark eyes.
"Yes I'd do that for you, after all that you've done for me you deserve it! Us Yang's always repay loyalty".
"Your grace is immeasurable your highness!"
"Now come on we have a concubine selection to destroy!"
