The next day, after the morning court session, two imperial edicts came from the Qianqing Palace, which immediately caused a commotion in the six palaces in the east and west.

These two imperial edicts were exactly the imperial edicts of grace that Shi Nanxi proposed yesterday.

One was to confer titles on female officials who had served Kangxi before but were not appointed into the harem as concubines, and to allow them to live in the six palaces in the east and west. In addition, concubines who had been pregnant but did not give birth were promoted to a higher rank or a higher status according to their family background.

The second imperial edict was to move all the concubines from Yongshou Palace, which had been dead silent for the past two years, except for Concubine Nianhulu, to Changchun Palace, which had no owner. Concubine Su, who had given birth to a princess, was promoted to concubine, with the main seat in Changchun Palace.

As soon as the news came out, the concubines who were granted the emperor's favor were extremely surprised and some even cried for joy, especially the female officials who had served him in bed.

Their identities were very awkward. They were neither concubines who could live in the six palaces in the east and west, nor were they palace maids. They could leave the palace after they turned 25. They could only continue to do the work of slaves and live a life with a predictable end. They thought that this was how their lives would be, but they did not expect this surprise.

They immediately knelt down and kowtowed towards the Qianqing Palace to express their gratitude. The emperor had not forgotten them!

At this time, the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict bowed in the direction of the Qianqing Palace and said loudly:

"The Emperor is kind and generous. He has specially shown favors to all of you ladies before the selection. You ladies should remember this in your hearts and be grateful."

After saying this, the eunuch withdrew his hand and gave another pointed reminder.

"But the reason why the emperor thought of you ladies is all because of the suggestion of Concubine Xian. When you express your gratitude, don't forget to thank Concubine Xian for her kindness."

The newly-appointed ladies were surprised and stunned upon hearing this, and then without saying a word, they turned towards the Chuxiu Palace and kowtowed heavily again.

the other side,

Yongshou Palace.

Concubine Su held the imperial edict in her hand, her eyes reddened. Seventeen years, seventeen years since she entered the palace, and she finally... finally became the master of the palace today. Her choice was not wrong.

"That's great. The young lady finally got her wish." Aunt Liu was extremely happy. Suddenly, she said, "No..." She smiled and changed her words, "It's Madam. From now on, I will call the young lady Madam."

"May your Majesty be blessed with good health." She bowed and said loudly.

At this time, Ding Yuan finally reacted and his eyes widened with excitement.

"My queen, you are the queen now!"

"Yes!" At this time, Supin wiped the tears from her face and smiled widely.

"From now on, I will be Concubine Su."

The next moment, everyone knelt down to congratulate:

"Your servant/your servant pays respects to Her Majesty Supin, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."

Looking at this scene, Concubine Su's heart was filled with emotions and she was extremely excited. No one knew how much she had suffered in the past two years.

When Concubine Xian gave her two choices, she hesitated for a long time before choosing the second option with difficulty. But after making the choice, she began to regret it.

She was afraid that Concubine Xian would not fulfill her promise in two years, and she was also worried that Concubine Xian herself would fall out of favor and would not be able to fulfill her promise to her.

This fear and regret, and anxiety tormented her for two whole years. During these two years, she hoped that Concubine Xian would continue to be in favor more than she did.

Fortunately, it has now been proven that she made the right choice. From now on, she is the head concubine Su of Changchun Palace.

"Everyone, get up!" She raised her hand with high spirits.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The voice was like a tsunami.

In the main hall of Yongshou Palace, Concubine Nianhulu, who was talking to the Tenth Prince, heard the noise and her face turned cold.

"What's going on outside? Who's making the noise?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Yan hurried in.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has sent an imperial decree."

Hearing this, Concubine Nianhulu, who had a gloomy face, suddenly raised her head, revealing her veiled face.

She had really had enough of the two years of confinement in Yongshou Palace. The huge Yongshou Palace seemed to have been forgotten. It was dead silent, lonely and cold. She had never known that life could be so difficult.

The hustle and bustle seemed very close, yet very far away. She could only stand in Yongshou Palace and gaze at the scene, day after day, hoping that the emperor would remember her and release her from confinement. Now, did the emperor finally remember her?

Concubine Niu Hulu was immediately excited and said:

"Is the Emperor going to release me from my confinement?"

The Tenth Prince also looked over expectantly, but the next moment Jing Yan knelt down.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Niuhulu felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head. She had a bad feeling in her heart and said angrily:

"Jingyan, what imperial decree did the emperor issue?"

Jing Yan lowered her head, clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and spoke out the contents of the imperial edict. The atmosphere froze instantly.

The emperor wants to move all the other concubines in Yongshou Palace to Changchun Palace. Move them all away! Move them away!

At this time, Concubine Nianhulu didn't care about Noble Lady Su's promotion at all. Instead, all the other concubines moved away, so she was the only one left in Yongshou Palace.

In the past, when she was really lonely and didn't want to face them with her disfigured face, she could let them kneel outside to pay their respects to her and listen to their voices. But now that the emperor has moved them away, Yongshou Palace has really become a cold palace.

"No, no, the emperor would not do this to me, no, you must have delivered the wrong imperial edict, you delivered the wrong imperial edict!"

This sharp voice woke up the others in the room. Nanny Qin looked unhappy, but she still comforted the queen:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Jing Yan will not convey the wrong imperial decree."

The Tenth Prince also hurriedly said:

"Yes, mother, the emperor must have his own intentions in doing this."

Although he said this, his little face could not hide the bitterness. As a son, how could he not be sad when his mother was treated like this by the Emperor?

However, after two years of seclusion, Concubine Nianhulu was almost going crazy. She could not hear what others said and sat in the chair blankly.

Her expression changed from bitter to ferocious, and finally she said with hatred:

"It was Concubine Xian. She did it, right? It must have been that bitch who slept with the emperor. The emperor was deceived by her. Only I know how vicious she is. It was she who deliberately designed the cat to ruin my face!"

Concubine Nianhulu raised her hand to touch her face, but quickly withdrew it before it touched her face. The face under the veil was terribly distorted for a moment.

In the past two years, she has tried every possible way to restore her appearance, but with little success.

The beast used too much force and the wound was too deep. Two years later, her face looked less hideous and less conspicuous, but as long as you got closer you could see the long scar, which was like a snake, disgusting and ugly.

"…Your Majesty, I have heard that it was Concubine Xian who took the initiative to propose this favor to the Emperor. Now many people in the palace are grateful to Concubine Xian and praise her for her virtue, kindness and generosity."

Jingyan answered the Empress's words with difficulty. Upon hearing this, Concubine Nianhulu's eyes turned red and her voice sounded like she was crying blood.

"I knew it was that bitch. I will fight her to the death!"

"Your Majesty, please don't be impulsive!" Nanny Qin was shocked and hurried to persuade her.

She also hated what happened back then, but they were one step behind, and the family had also spread the message that the empress was not allowed to act rashly again and had to stay in Yongshou Palace obediently.

The Tenth Prince was even more shocked:

"Mother, the Emperor will know what you are going to do!"

Concubine Nianhulu couldn't listen at all. She suddenly remembered what Chen Da Ying said after she failed to seduce the emperor in the imperial garden.

——Noble Concubine Xian is the stand-in for Empress Xiaocheng. Although the two do not actually look alike, she can find a woman who looks like Empress Xiaocheng!

Once this idea came out, he couldn't stop it. If a woman like Empress Xiaocheng really appeared, the emperor would have to marry her even if he didn't want to. Let's see how that bitch could deceive the emperor into favoring her alone and act recklessly.

Her gaze suddenly turned towards Kunning Palace, and the corners of her mouth curled up in an unpredictable arc.
