Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Jianqiu supported Yixiu and walked out of the Yikun Palace. Behind them was the chaos in the Yikun Palace. Concubine Yi had just given the order to move the palace.

Jianqiu ignored the panic behind her and asked Yixiu, "Your Majesty, Xiao Xiazi just came over to tell her that the Emperor already knew that Concubine Yi refused to move to the palace, and the Emperor was furious. If he hadn't heard that Your Majesty had come, he would have issued an edict to reprimand Concubine Yi."

Yiku Palace is very close to Kunning Palace. It is a warm morning now, and Yixiu does not call for a sedan chair, but plans to walk back to Kunning Palace.

Yixiu walked slowly while instructing Jianqiu, "Remember to have someone tell the Concubine Dowager about this. The Emperor is angry about this. Everyone should take this as a warning and never make the same mistake again."

Although Yixiu had coaxed and threatened Concubine Yi to move to the palace, Concubine Yi finally presented Yixiu's favor, otherwise she would have moved to Shou'an Palace in disgrace after being scolded by the emperor. Yixiu was not the kind of person who would do good deeds without leaving a name, so she naturally wanted Concubine Yi to appreciate her favor.

Jianqiu asked doubtfully. "Concubine Yi is the biological mother of the Ninth Prince, and the Ninth Prince has always been close to Prince Lian. Your Highness, if you come to persuade him today, will it cause the Emperor to misunderstand?"

Yi Xiu explained, "Empress Dowager Yi certainly did something wrong, but if the emperor really ordered her to blame him, that would be a case of turning the truth into a lie! We showed up at the perfect time."

How could it not cause criticism if the emperor issued an edict to reprimand the concubine mother for not moving to the palace? Moreover, Concubine Yi also found a suitable excuse for herself, saying that she was sick because she missed the late emperor and could not move to the palace. If Yongzheng really issued the edict, being accused of mistreating the concubine mother would be the least of her fault. If she was not careful, she would be accused of disrespecting the late emperor.

After understanding, Jianqiu said with some fear, "At this time, Concubine Yi is still thinking of making trouble for the emperor. How hateful."

Yixiu smiled and said, "Fortunately it's all over. You go and report back to the emperor later and explain what happened so that he won't worry." As she said, she was not the kind of person who would do good deeds without leaving a name, so Yongzheng had to accept this favor.

Jianqiu knew what Yixiu meant and nodded repeatedly, "That's right. If I don't tell you, the emperor will always worry about the affairs of the harem, which will also be a pain in the neck."

Unexpectedly, when she returned to Kunning Palace, Yongzheng was already waiting for Yixiu in the palace. Yes, Yongzheng was such a suspicious person, and now the situation was unstable, he would never let go of any movement in the palace.

Yixiu grumbled in her heart, but said in surprise, "Why is the emperor here? Why didn't anyone inform me?"

Yongzheng held Yixiu's hand, feeling the cold, and said in a reproachful tone, "I just arrived, but Xiaoyi, the weather is cold, why don't you take the sedan chair?"

Yixiu said shyly, "I see the sun is shining outside and the road is not far, so I'll just relax." Then she complained to Yongzheng in a low voice, "I used to feel constrained when I entered the palace, but now that I'm the master, I don't dare to do anything. It's really tiring."

Yongzheng saw that Yixiu was the same as before, and his heart softened. "I feel the same way. Fortunately, I have Xiaoyi by my side, so I feel more at ease."

The couple spent a while affectionately accompanying each other, and then continued to discuss business.

Yixiu reminded, "Tomorrow the sisters from the palace will enter the palace. I have drafted the positions and palaces for the sisters. Please review them and draft titles for them."

Jianqiu presented the list that Yixiu had drafted. Yongzheng glanced at it and couldn't help but praise it, "Xiaoyi's calligraphy has improved again. Now it has broken away from the constraints of Dong style and formed its own style. It can be called a master!"

Yixiu's cheeks blushed slightly, "Your Majesty, I think everything about me is good."

After making a joke, Yongzheng began to look at the list:

Li Jingyan, Imperial Concubine, lived in Changchun Palace;

Nian Shilan, Imperial Concubine, lived in Yikun Palace;

Lü Yingfeng, concubine, lived in Zhongcui Palace

Lin Zhuoyin, concubine, lived in Yongshou Palace

Feng Ruozhao, concubine, lived in Xianfu Palace

Cao Qinmo, concubine, lived in Chuxiu Palace

Song Qiyun, concubine, lived in Jingyang Palace

Qi Yuebin, concubine, lived in Jingyang Palace

Fei Yunyan, noble lady, lives in Qixiang Palace

As soon as Yongzheng saw the list, he could not help but frown, "Shilan and Li are both promoted to the position of Imperial Concubine right from the start, won't there be no more rewards in the future?" After all, Imperial Concubine will be appointed only if the harem is leaderless, and the last empress to appoint Imperial Concubine was Shunzhi, which was the thing that emperors of all dynasties feared the most.

Yixiu explained, "Sister Li gave birth to Hongshi, so she deserves the title of Imperial Concubine even for Hongshi's sake. Sister Nian and Sister Li are both concubines, and her brother, General Nian, is very capable in the previous dynasty, so naturally she should be Imperial Concubine."

Yongzheng did not expect Yixiu to be so selfless. After a moment's hesitation, he found an excuse, "Hongshi is my only grown-up prince, but he is indeed stupid and incapable of taking on important responsibilities. If I really put Li in the position of imperial concubine, it would be a disaster for them, mother and son.

Although Shilan has a good family background, she has not been able to give birth to an heir in recent years. If she is named a noble concubine, I am afraid that people will criticize her. It is better to wait until she is pregnant before giving her the title of noble concubine."

Yixiu was not surprised by this result, but she still said with guilt, "It was my fault for not thinking it through."

Yongzheng patted Yixiu's hand and said soothingly, "Xiaoyi is just considering the sisterly feelings. I will give Shilan and Li a title each as compensation!"

Yongzheng thought for a while and said, "The lotus is not as beautiful as the beauty, the wind blows through the water palace and the red and green fragrance comes, Shilan's beauty cannot be without the embellishment of pearls and jade, the word 'Hua' best describes her; as for Li, she was also pretty when she was young, so let's use 'Qi' as her title!"

Yixiu savored the two characters and exclaimed, "The character 'Hua' really suits Sister Nian very well, and Sister Li's character 'Qi' means pretty in our Manchu language, which is also an excellent title."

Yongzheng enjoyed Yixiu's admiration and continued to look down, "I think the positions of the people below are too high, it would be just right to lower them by one level."

After saying this, Yixiu suddenly patted her forehead and said, "I was so busy that I forgot to congratulate the emperor!"

As she spoke, Yixiu squatted down and said to Yongzheng, "Yesterday, I was thinking about leaving the mansion, and I was worried about the health of my sisters in the mansion, so I asked the doctor Wen to check my sisters' pulses. I didn't expect that Sister Lu, Sister Lin, Sister Feng, and Sister Cao were all pregnant. It shows that the emperor has fulfilled his destiny!"

The most worrying thing about Yongzheng was that he had few offspring. However, as soon as he ascended the throne, four people in his backyard became pregnant, which was indeed destiny.

Yongzheng said in disbelief, "Is what Xiaoyi said true?"

Yixiu smiled and replied, "I didn't dare to believe it when I heard it, and I called other palace doctors to see it together before I dared to confirm it. But my sisters are still in the palace, and I was afraid that it would be inappropriate, so I didn't tell anyone else."

After all, such a good omen is too easy for someone to take advantage of. If all four children were gone, wouldn't that mean that Yongzheng was not the emperor favored by God? So it was never too cautious.
