Chapter 429: Nanxi Delegates Power to Confer the Crown Princess
In Chuxiu Palace, all the concubines were standing in the room according to their ranks. Shi Nanxi looked straight ahead, walked past them step by step, and calmly sat down on the throne at the top.
Nanny Yang stood aside.
He said solemnly:
"bye."
The next moment, all the concubines knelt and saluted, shouting at the same time:
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Consort Xian, I wish Her Majesty the best of health and happiness."
On the throne, Shi Nanxi looked around and raised his hand and said:
"Get up."
"Thank you, Imperial Noble Consort Xian."
The concubines then stood up.
Then the concubines and above sat down, and the concubines and below stood behind their respective seats. Concubine Hui, as the first person below Shi Nanxi, showed no resentment at all during the canonization ceremony yesterday, and was the first to smile and congratulate:
"I congratulate Her Majesty Imperial Consort Xian. It is a double blessing!"
At this time, Rong Fei's eyes turned and she suddenly said, "Sister Hui Fei, what you said is wrong."
Shi Nanxi looked over, and the others also looked at Rong Fei.
Facing everyone's gaze, Rong Fei smiled and said:
"It should be three happy events."
Concubine Hui narrowed her eyes. Others were a little confused. Apart from the Imperial Concubine canonization ceremony and being pregnant, where else did Concubine Xian get pregnant?
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Rong Fei was calm and deliberately kept everyone hanging. In the end, Shi Nanxi laughed and scolded:
"Good sister Rong Fei, where did the good news come from? I am curious, tell me quickly."
When Rong Fei heard this, she deliberately patted her lips and said:
"It's me, your Highness, please don't blame me."
Then he finally stopped hanging everyone,
He smiled and said:
"This one is to congratulate you on the ceremony of being crowned as the Imperial Noble Consort. You and the Emperor also accepted the ceremony of six bows, three kneels and three kowtows from all the officials, princesses, concubines and ladies of the royal court. It shows that the Emperor loves you so much. These two are to congratulate you on your pregnancy. I should have come to congratulate you on the day I received the good news, but the Emperor ordered me not to disturb you. Now that I have the chance to see you, I have to congratulate you."
Hearing this, everyone smiled, but in their hearts they were thinking, isn't this two happy things? Where did the three happy things come from?
Shi Nanxi sat at the top, smiling at Rong Fei with great interest. After Rong Fei finished talking about the two joys, she finally talked about the third joy.
"The third good news is that I saw that Your Majesty looked healthy and energetic today. What does this mean? It means that Your Majesty is taking good care of the baby. Isn't this the third good news?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the concubines cursed Rong Fei in their hearts for being such a lackey for a concubine with a lot of experience to flatter the young Imperial Noble Consort. However, they were afraid that they were a step late, so they rushed to congratulate her.
"That's right. I also think that the Imperial Concubine Xian is doing well with her pregnancy. Next year, she will give His Majesty a healthy little prince!"
"The Imperial Concubine Xian looks better than before. It seems that the young prince must be very blessed."
"I heard that the names have been chosen. This is another great joy."
Hearing these congratulations, Shi Nanxi put her hands on the armrests, and waited for everyone to stop before she smiled and spoke:
"Thank you all for your congratulations, especially Concubine Rong. This is my first pregnancy and I was nervous. Your congratulations have eased my anxiety a little."
Rong Fei's smile became more genuine. At this time, Shi Nanxi changed the topic:
"But I was born with a difficult labor, and I was sick for many years. It was only with the grace of the Emperor that I recovered after recuperating in the Forbidden City. This time, I am afraid that my health will be a burden to the heir, so I decided to take care of the baby and hand over the palace affairs to you sisters. I wonder if you sisters are willing to help me share my worries?"
Although she mentioned her sisters, Shi Nanxi's eyes fell on Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong and Concubine Xi. Before, these three helped her manage the palace affairs.
The three concubines Hui, Rong and Xi were very surprised. They didn't expect that they would have an unexpected surprise when they came to pay homage to the Imperial Noble Concubine.
Concubine Hui was the first to say:
"Your Majesty has given the order, and I and others are willing to share your worries."
Ever since the news spread that the Emperor was going to appoint the Second Wife as the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince's position has become more secure. If she could get more power in the palace, it would help the eldest prince to regain some ground.
Later, Concubine Rong and Concubine Xi also agreed.
Shi Nanxi looked at the three of them with a smile.
"Thank you three sisters for sharing my worries. I will leave the rest of the Dragon Boat Festival Banquet to you. Don't worry."
The three of them immediately stood up and agreed.
Soon the ceremony was over and everyone left. Shi Nanxi immediately returned to the inner room and called Hongying, saying:
"Hurry up, change my clothes."
After Shi Nanxi changed the Imperial Concubine's clothes, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Hongying, who was standing beside her, saw this and laughed and teased her own wife.
"Look at how frightened the queen is. If it were someone else, they would probably want to wear the imperial concubine's court dress!"
Shi Nanxi took the milk handed to her by Nanny Yang, took a sip, and said nonchalantly:
"Others are others. For me, comfort is the best."
Nanny Yang nodded in agreement:
"Your Majesty is right, and you are pregnant now, so you must not get too tired." The last sentence she said had a meaningful meaning.
Shi Nanxi blinked her eyes, pretending not to understand, and said shamelessly:
"Mammy still understands me."
Nanny Yang was helpless, but it was all right, the Empress and the Emperor still knew their limits.
At this moment, Hongying suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.
"I think Concubine Hui and the other two must be very happy now, especially Concubine Xi."
As soon as these words were spoken, both Shi Nanxi and Nanny Yang, the master and servant, knew what Hongying meant, and Shi Nanxi also laughed.
"Although the woman was brought by Concubine Niuhulu, Hesheli's sending her into the palace also showed that she had some intentions, which is understandable. But since I want to intimidate her, the more people I involve, the more intimidating it will be."
There was one thing she didn't say. Her pregnancy posed the greatest threat to the crown prince. She knew very well how many of the things that had appeared in the palace before were related to the crown prince. However, the political fight for succession was ruthless and everyone was trying to protect their own interests. But even though she knew it, no one could harm her child.
But this will no longer be the case after she gives birth to the child.
She had an idea in her mind that even Kangxi didn't know.
This problem will be completely solved by then.
At this time, Xiao Ruzi came in and reported:
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has just officially issued an edict to confer the title of Crown Princess to the Second Consort. The ceremony will be held on the 24th of next month."
Shi Nanxi was a little surprised:
"So urgent."
What came to mind next:
"It seems that you were stimulated yesterday." She shook her head and ordered:
"Madam Yang, prepare a generous gift and send it to Yuqing Palace."
"Yes, ma'am."
……
In Yuqing Palace, Second Concubine held the imperial edict for the title of Crown Princess in her hand. Her uneasy heart finally settled down a little, and her face was filled with joy. After more than two years, she finally became the Crown Princess.
The Crown Prince stood aside with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face. Only after the Crown Princess was appointed could his position be truly consolidated.
Other palaces also received the news and quickly sent people to deliver congratulatory gifts. Outside the palace, Hesheli was overjoyed when she received the news, and also breathed a sigh of relief.
After the enthronement ceremony, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived soon. As there were continuous reports of happy events in the palace this year, this Dragon Boat Festival was held in a grand manner.
It starts from the first day of May and lasts for five days. The palace people start to make rice dumplings, hang sachets, and insert mugwort and calamus.
It was early summer now, the heat was rising, and the palace was busy. Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs held a small selection in April, otherwise there would not have been enough palace servants.
"Ningshuang, there's no more mugwort leaves. Go to the Imperial Household Department and get some. They're waiting for you." A steward in the imperial kitchen shouted to a palace maid who was about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Upon hearing this, the palace maid hurriedly agreed. After leaving the imperial kitchen, she held the red rope on her wrist and recited silently in her heart.
"Father, mother, brother, and Yilang, I will be able to leave the palace and reunite with you soon, so please wait for me."
