Jing Jieyu's attire today was rather loose, with a hairpin slant inserted in her jet-black hair bun, and tassels of rice-grain pearls swaying gently. Her palace dress in sapphire blue hung loosely on her body, lacking the solemn magnificence of formal wear, yet it exuded a lazy, ethereal charm.
As the only pregnant woman in the harem, Jing Jieyu's sedan chair specifications were second only to the Empress and Emperor, carried by sixteen people. This was for stability, as the pregnant were esteemed. Now that the Empress had no children, perhaps the dragon embryo in Jing Jieyu's belly would be the future Emperor.
Jing Jieyu first had to visit Furong Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager and offer birthday congratulations, presenting a birthday gift at the same time. Although Jing Jieyu resented the Empress Dowager, she still had to rack her brains to prepare a birthday gift for her.
