The Destiny of Going to Hell

Liangpin spat out a mouthful of blood. She had actually fallen to the point of having to call her despised daughter-in-law "sister".

Kangxi's decree caused a stir in the court and the harem, but soon it died down.

After all, Kangxi had held power for many years, and had supported Oboi three times, so who would dare to offend him?

The previous dynasty had a fierce argument at the beginning, but when they sensed Kangxi's determination, only a few sour Confucian scholars had objections. Fine, you can't convince me anyway, so you might as well go down and convince the King of Hell.

After these heads were chopped off, the previous dynasty, which had originally been nothing more than a few splashes, was completely quelled.

In the harem, apart from Concubine Liang who was full of indignation, no one else was really moved.

After all, his son is grown up now. At this point, why would he need to compete for the favor of the harem? Anyway, he will have to rely on his son in the future.

What if Kangxi still favors Minghui?

It's just a matter of face that she was bullied by a junior, but she has become one of the four concubines, so which one of them is not a flexible person?

At the beginning, everyone was really upset and angry, and they couldn't understand why.

After all, since the death of Empress Xiaoyi, there has been no concubine of high rank in the palace, and the emperor has not even canonized a noble concubine, let alone the position of empress.

This makes the position of concubine that they had finally achieved after a lifetime of hard work, effort and study seem cheap.

What you pursue diligently, others can get it with just one glance.

Who doesn’t want to eat heart?

But after feeling the bitterness and pain, I still need to accept the reality. After all, I am already old enough to be a grandmother.

From now on, success or failure will no longer depend on the harem, but on the fight of her sons. So what if she becomes the queen?

It is still too early to determine right or wrong, success or failure.

After all the disturbances between the former court and the harem had subsided, Kangxi confidently selected an auspicious day for the enthronement ceremony. Before that, he had to accompany Hui'er to establish his prestige.

Kangxi personally ordered that even before the enthronement ceremony, the concubines had to pay their respects to the empress. How dare they disobey?

In the past, he was the only one living in the Qianqing Palace, and no one had ever lived with him. Now that he is with Hui'er, he feels completely content.

All the concubines were present and sat upright. After all, this was their first time paying respects in the Qianqing Palace, and in the past they were always offered soup and water.

Liangpin's pale and resentful look was particularly conspicuous among the calm concubines.

But she usually looked timid, timid and pitiful, and now everyone was too lazy to ridicule her. They just chatted about tea, snacks, clothes and jewelry, pretending to have a good life.

Kangxi personally dressed Minghui in the inner room. It turned out that the emperor was very adept at serving people.

"Okay, Xuanye, let's get out quickly and don't keep anyone waiting."

Seeing Kangxi preparing to dress up with great interest, Minghui hurriedly stopped him. After all, the hairstyle he had done a few days ago was really comparable to a bird's nest.

"You are their master, and they dare not complain if the master asks the servants to wait a little longer."

Kangxi's words clearly showed that he did not regard other people as human beings at all, but slaves. Only Minghui was one with him as his wife and the master of the Qing Dynasty.

By the time they had finished dressing and were about to go out, the people outside had already had sore backs from sitting so hard, but they straightened their posture the moment Kangxi helped Minghui out.

Kangxi took Minghui's hand and sat down. The two of them sat down together, and the concubines below bowed down one after another, "Your Highness, Your Majesty."

Kangxi retracted his aggressive gaze only after seeing that no one was dissatisfied. He thought it would be best if no one was seeking death.

Minghui called out, and everyone couldn't help but marvel at Minghui's stunningly beautiful face.

If Minghui had entered the palace earlier, I'm afraid no one would have been able to accommodate her.

Others were fine, but when Concubine Liang looked up and saw Minghui accepting her kneeling to her with a clear conscience, she became furious. She had already been feeling aggrieved, and now her lack of face-saving skills showed.

Kangxi said in a deep voice, "How can Concubine Liang be dissatisfied with the empress I personally appointed?"

Hearing Kangxi's voice filled with anger, Liangpin wanted to apologize, but when she saw Minghui's provocative smile at her out of the corner of her eye, she still couldn't hold back her inner distress and dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, Minghui is my daughter-in-law!"

After hearing what Liangpin said, everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly. They used to think that Liangpin was timid, but now it seems that she is quite courageous.

Everyone knows that the new queen was once the Eighth Concubine, but who dares to ignore Kangxi and brag about this?

Killing a chicken to scare the monkey, isn't there a ready-made chicken?

Kangxi's face darkened instantly. "The Queen is the mother of the Qing Dynasty and my beloved wife. How can you disrespect her? Come here, demote Liangpin to a commoner and banish her to the cold palace. The rest of you who dare to disrespect the Queen will suffer the same fate."

Before being dragged away, Liangpin's eyes widened in disbelief. With just one sentence, she was sentenced?

The others also tightened their belts. It seemed that Kangxi was really taking the matter seriously.

Everyone was very respectful to Minghui, and then Kangxi waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

The two of them quickly became closer as they spent time together, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the coronation arrived.

Clean up the palace

As soon as the sky was getting light, Kangxi gently nudged Minghui, "Hui'er, it's time to get up."

The palace maids were already waiting. Minghui opened her eyes drowsily and saw Cuizhi, whom she brought with her, and Lanyue, who was given by Kangxi, walking slowly into the inner room.

"My lady, let the servants help you dress up."

The auspicious clothes to be worn at the enthronement ceremony are extremely luxurious. From hair accessories to clothes, shoes and socks, and makeup, everything must follow the rules of the ancestors and there cannot be any mistakes, so one must get up early and do his makeup carefully.

The two of them joked happily, "Your Majesty is truly stunningly beautiful. She is probably the most beautiful queen in history."

The compliments from the two made Minghui's ears slightly red. "You guys are really talkative."

After two hours of meticulous painting, the two finally completed today's complicated dressing. At this time, Xiao Ye (Li Dequan's godson) also came in through the curtain.

He bowed and said, "Empress, the time has come. All the concubines are waiting outside the palace gates, asking you to get on the phoenix chariot."

Minghui let Lanyue and Cuizhi help her to stand up and walked out of the hall step by step.

When she stepped out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, all the concubines in the harem were kneeling outside to greet her respectfully. When they saw Minghui coming out, they all kowtowed.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years, and may you live a long and blessed life!"

After kneeling down, Minghui would become the true master, and they would all be her slaves.

The concubines had mixed feelings and felt a little uncomfortable being suppressed by a junior.

"No need to be so polite. I will be in charge of the six palaces in the future. I hope all the sisters can live in harmony and unity." Minghui called out with a faint smile.

"We will keep it in mind." The concubines answered in unison.

Minghui was helped by servants to sit on the phoenix chariot.
