No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

After three months, the white banners in the mansion were completely removed.

Lin Mingyan discovered that the Fourth Master had already prepared a memorial, ready to submit it to request that she be given the title of Consort.

Her eyes widened in surprise: "Didn't they say that we should observe mourning for Fu Jin for a year?"

This is the time when husbands observe mourning for their wives.

The Fourth Master scoffed, "How can there be such a rule? No matter what, the concubine's surname is not Aixinjueluo, so how can I observe mourning for her?"

Being able to hang the white banner for three months is already a great reward to her.

Lin Mingyan suddenly realized that this was true. The Qing Dynasty was different from other dynasties.

The royal family is the master, and no matter how high the status and position of others are, they are still servants in the end.

How can a master observe mourning for his servant?

The Fourth Master's relationship with his wife wasn't very good, so he was really kind enough to let her observe the mourning period for three months.

When he wrote the letter at this time, even Fu Jin's father, Fei Yanggu, had nothing to say.

"That's good," Lin Mingyan breathed a sigh of relief, then asked suspiciously, "Then why didn't the Prince of Zhi submit a letter?"

After all, Prince Zhi now believes that Concubine Wu is from the Irgen Jueluo clan, so why wouldn't he write a letter to request that she be given the title of Concubine?

The Fourth Master curled his lips and smiled: "The Wu family background is not enough, and some of them are a headache for the boss."

He was also glad that Cha Cha was from the Niuhuru clan and was successfully recognized.

Otherwise, even if she gave birth to seven children, it would still be difficult to apply for the title.

However, as long as he can withstand the pressure and refuse to remarry, I think he will be able to wait for the clouds to clear and the moon to appear.

Now I don’t know if the boss can handle it anymore.

The Fourth Master handed over the petition for the title, and Emperor Kangxi was stunned when he saw it: "The Fourth Master also wants to confer the title of Concubine to the rank of Concubine?!"

His eyes were full of gloom. Some time ago, the boss had indeed submitted a memorial requesting that Wu be made concubine.

Yi's words were still echoing in his ears when the eldest brother handed over the petition for the title.

Now, he really couldn't help but believe Yi!

I put the letter down and ignored it, but I didn't expect that the fourth brother would do this at this time.

"It's been three or four months since Prince Yong's wife passed away," Liang Jiugong reminded.

Yes, Fu Jin has been gone for so long.

It is understandable that he wants to marry a second wife or a concubine.

Emperor Kangxi still looked displeased: "Have the selected beauties entered the palace?"

"Your Majesty, the concubines are already in Chuxiu Palace, being trained daily by the governesses," said Liang Jiugong.

The concubines had already entered the palace and passed the first and second levels. They were divided into two groups for training in Chuxiu Palace.

The first group is naturally the noble ladies from each family. Except for the ones favored by the emperor, the others are prepared to be the principal wives of the princes and relatives.

The second group consisted of more outstanding bannermen women. The emperor would pick the ones he liked, and the rest were candidates for his concubines.

Of course, there are also those who are not selected by either party. In that case, they are eliminated and go home to get married.

This is a grand election, but the small election is different. It is to select palace maids from the bondservants of each banner.

"Let Concubine Hui and Concubine De pay attention and pick out some good women for the eldest and fourth sons first," Emperor Kangxi ordered with a dark look in his eyes.

If it weren't for the eldest brother's incident, he would have fulfilled the fourth brother's wish.

But the eldest brother would definitely not agree to let Wu become his wife, so the fourth brother could only suppress it.

The Fourth Master was waiting for news from the palace with great joy, but half a month passed and the memorial seemed to have fallen into oblivion.

He turned the ring on his hand and asked someone to go out and inquire.

After a long period of arranging matters, Concubine De couldn't stand it anymore and dragged him to Yonghe Palace.

She took out a dozen portraits and said, "These are the maids in this election. They come from noble families and are beautiful. Take them back and have a look."

The meaning is very clear, his wife will be chosen from here.

The Fourth Master frowned and said without even looking at the portraits, "Mother, I will not marry again."

When Concubine De saw that he was even more stubborn than Fourteenth, she knew that the two were indeed brothers.

She said softly, "Marriage is a matter that can only be decided by your royal father. It is not up to you to decide whether you want to marry or not."

"The candidate is here. Go out and ask around. Choose someone with a soft personality..."

She naturally knew what her son was worried about, after all, Niuhuru had seven children.

Which wife would marry into the family without treating her as a thorn in her side?

If a fight really breaks out, there will always be times when you are not paying attention, and if the child is hurt again, it is never a good thing.

She therefore deliberately selected some that looked gentle and soft so that she could have easier control when the time came.

However, the Fourth Master did not want to listen to her earnest wishes and flatly refused: "I don't want it. I only want to make Nianhulu my wife!"

He turned around and walked out. He wanted to fight for it again while nothing was decided yet.

Seeing how anxious he was, Concubine De chased after him without a second thought and grabbed him: "Fourth Brother! What do you want to do?!"

After that, he whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty has been in a bad mood recently. Don't disobey him at this critical moment!"

"This is irrational!"

The most noble father and son in the world became separated for unknown reasons.

For a full six months, the Emperor never smiled, and everyone in the palace felt insecure.

Even the old ladies like the Four Concubines had run into trouble with him and were scolded on the spot.

Defei thought of the tea that was splashed on her a few days ago, and her face was now burning.

After being scolded, she didn't leave the palace for three whole days. She never wanted to experience that kind of shame and fear again in her life.

Fortunately, Concubine Hui and others were treated the same way, which made her feel a little relieved.

Now, the fourth brother still wants to take the initiative to bring bad luck?!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am very rational," the Fourth Master said calmly with his eyes raised and his hands behind his back.

He didn't go to argue with the emperor, but to reason with him.

Concubine De's heart ached: "If you are rational, leave the palace and return home immediately."

"Don't worry about anything else, mother will take care of it for you."

"Fujin is just Fujin. If you don't like her, just treat her the same way you treat Nara."

"No matter how much you love Bao Niu Hulu, no one will care about you!"

She didn't ask to choose a wife with a strong family background who could be of help to the fourth son.

Just choose one from the children of minor officials and put him there as a trump card.

The Fourth Master looked up at her and snorted coldly, "Why bother harming such an innocent woman?"

"If I don't harm others, then why would I harm you?" De Fei's eyes were filled with tears as she said, "You two are the only two sons left to me. You can't let anything happen to me!"

Even if he didn't kiss her, she couldn't bear to see her child jump into the fire.

The Fourth Master stared into her eyes and said, "In this life, I only want Nianhulu to be my wife."

"If that doesn't work, then I'd rather never marry."

"You..." Seeing him turn and leave, Concubine De said hot-headedly, "If you dare to go, I will no longer have you as my son!"
