Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me
Chapter 173 I Don’t Want to Be the Emperor Anymore
According to Dashun customs, a person is considered to have been truly sent away only after the 57th day.
Gradually, everything in the capital returned to its usual bustle.
As the weather was getting warmer, Queen Qin held a lotus-viewing banquet by the Imperial Lake in Tongzhou.
Invitations were sent to the wives of the marquisates in the capital, saying that they wanted to have some fun together.
Originally, everyone just speculated that Queen Qin was planning to choose a concubine for the prince, so they dressed up their daughters beautifully and rushed to take her over.
Queen Qin sat in the main seat, and Shen Xiyue was beside her.
When everyone saw this, they became more certain of their guess.
Before the banquet started, the ladies and girls who knew each other had already gathered together and started talking happily.
Taking advantage of this time, Concubine Fang, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in front of everyone again, personally holding a cup of tea and half-kneeling to offer it to Queen Qin.
Queen Qin took the tea and nodded to her with a faint smile: "Concubine Fang, let the servants handle the serving of tea and water. There are many people here today, so you should sit down and talk."
Concubine Fang was very respectful and lowered her head even more: "I dare not."
"You are now a concubine and the biological mother of King Rui, so your status is very noble."
Queen Qin smiled and said, as if she remembered something, she raised her voice slightly: "Come to think of it, when I was still in the palace, you were already a concubine. Now twenty years have passed, and your status should be promoted."
After saying this, she turned around and looked at everyone again, then smiled and said, "I asked the emperor what he meant a few days ago, and he said that he wanted to confer the title of Imperial Concubine on Concubine Fang as well. The decree should come down in two days."
Concubine Fang was a little stunned... Rui'er clearly told her that the prince was suppressing him, so why did Queen Qin want to promote her position?
Can she also be a royal concubine? That's a royal concubine!
But being able to become a royal concubine still surprised her. She was so excited that she was half supported and half pulled by the nanny beside Queen Qin and sat down on the left side of Queen Qin.
All the ladies present stood up and half-knelt to congratulate Concubine Fang: "Congratulations, Madam Fang."
Concubine Fang's upper body was stiff as she looked at the women on the ground surrendering to her. It took her a while to recover. She let out a long sigh, her eyes red.
She subconsciously wanted to stand up and speak, but was held down by the nanny again.
Queen Qin smiled and said, "This is the grace of the Emperor. It represents the Emperor's face. As a noble concubine, I am allowed to sit and receive the gift."
So Concubine Fang relaxed herself and sat firmly on the chair.
The ladies and noble girls who came to attend the Lotus Banquet were overwhelmed by this power and immediately had different thoughts... So this is the benefit of being a royal concubine?
It was as if a golden body was reshaped in an instant.
How cowardly Concubine Fang was in the past, and how powerful Concubine Fang is now...
Shen Xiyue raised the cup to her lips and took a sip of tea. What was her mother-in-law, the queen, going to do... She felt like there was going to be something exciting to watch!
Queen Qin smiled and asked everyone to stand up, then sighed: "After Concubine Qi left, there are only two old people left in the harem, me and Concubine Liang and Concubine Fang. Life in the harem is really quiet and lonely, so I thought of holding this banquet to make it lively. When I saw the young ladies in your family, I was happy."
Queen Qin's words were clear and everyone understood immediately... This was not about selecting a concubine for the Crown Prince, Queen Qin was about adding someone to the Emperor's harem!
The ladies looked at each other in bewilderment, and the noble girls also had different thoughts. The emperor was not even fifty years old, and the harem was empty. If one was lucky enough to be favored by the emperor, wouldn't it be easy to get a position as a concubine or a consort?
Even...the position where Concubine Fang sits is not impossible.
Therefore, the ambitions of many people were aroused at this lotus banquet.
Queen Qin smiled slightly and said, "Okay, it would be better to have more people in the palace. We can trap Emperor You'an and let his son control the court more tightly."
......
As a result, there were three more noble ladies, five maids and two concubines in the palace at once.
They are all beautiful in appearance, from humble family backgrounds, and more or less resemble the former Concubine Qi.
These newcomers to the palace lived up to expectations and tried their best to keep Emperor You'an's heart. However, as time went on, Emperor You'an began to feel overwhelmed.
After calling the imperial physician to take his pulse, the physician advised him to exercise restraint.
But compared to the restraint that he could see but could not eat, he certainly hoped that there was some panacea that could make him strong and vigorous again. After all, delicate women made him feel more comfortable than each other, and seeing them would make him forget all his sorrows.
When she heard that there were Taoist priests from Yancheng Palace who could make elixirs at Queen Qin's place, she was immediately overjoyed and quickly presented the elixir to Queen Qin.
However, Emperor You'an was not a fool. Even if he asked the Queen for it, he would not eat it casually. Naturally, he would let someone try it first.
As a result, after the guards who were testing the medicine took the pill, they suddenly felt as if they were floating in the air, their spirits were lifted, and they had unlimited energy.
Even after the effect of the medicine wore off, he could still remember the intoxicating feeling and felt as if he had seen a god.
Emperor You'an was overjoyed and quickly took a pill. That night, he summoned three concubines to his palace, and he was in high spirits and majestic all night.
After the effect of the medicine wore off on the second day, he began to feel uncomfortable all over again. He immediately ordered the Taoist priest from Yan Cheng Palace to come in and make more pills for him.
Ever since he got the elixir, Emperor You'an became addicted to the feeling. He would take one pill every day to feel full of energy. Then he would summon the new noble ladies into the palace to have sex with them. But within a month or two, some of them would be found to be pregnant and would be given the title of concubine.
Eunuch Shi stood at the entrance of the Yangxin Palace and reminded him with great embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the memorial sent from the court is still waiting for your approval."
Emperor You'an was originally very happy, but he paused when he heard what Eunuch Shi said.
Although he is very satisfied with his harem now, if he fails to handle the affairs in the court well, those censors will record it in history books.
These days, Emperor You'an always asked people to send memorials to the prince for approval, but after thinking about it, he felt that this would not work, so Emperor You'an made an extremely important decision.
He is now going to pass the throne to the crown prince and become the emperor emeritus!
The throne will have to be passed on sooner or later. The important thing is that if it is passed on early, the emperor will still be wise and powerful, and there will be no need to worry about his reputation being ruined in his later years.
He ordered Eunuch Shi to deliver all the memorials to the prince, and then go to the Imperial Observatory to choose an auspicious day.
When Eunuch Shi heard this, he was shocked at first, but then he immediately accepted the order with a smile and immediately asked someone to carry the memorial to the East Palace.
Murong Xuan did not comment on Emperor You'an's decision because he had already made full preparations.
And now everything is going as planned.
