Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother
Chapter 182 The Promised Story
After saying this, Prince Dun’s wife glared at Prince Dun.
Prince Dun avoided his gaze and lowered his head guiltily. Couldn't he just not say anything?
Seeing that the situation was a bit awkward, Concubine Jing smiled and stood up to toast the emperor and the empress.
"I offer a toast to the Emperor, wishing him good health and long life. I also offer a toast to the Empress, wishing her good health and long life."
Yixiu smiled and also raised her glass to toast Jingpin.
"Thank you, Sister Jingpin!"
The emperor looked coldly at the dignified and polite Concubine Jing, groping for the wine glass while thinking carefully.
He stared at Jingpin for two seconds, and said with a half-smile: "Jingpin has served me for many years. Today I will promote you to the position of concubine!"
Jingpin looked at the emperor with anticipation, but when she saw the indifference in his eyes, her heart turned cold.
The Empress is the biological mother of the Crown Prince, so the Emperor naturally has to suppress her, but he cannot turn the harem into Hua Fei's world. Therefore, he first promoted Shen Guiren, and now that Shen Guiren is pregnant, her own position has been promoted.
However, Concubine Jing had long since let it go over the years. She smiled with relief, walked out of her seat, and performed the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows to the emperor and the empress.
"I thank the Emperor for his grace. Long live the Emperor!"
A trace of resentment flashed across Concubine Hua's eyes. She raised her lips and said lazily, "Concubine Jing is really eloquent! Just one toast earned her a promotion to the position of Concubine!"
The emperor frowned slightly, but said nothing. Jingpin could only say awkwardly, "It's all thanks to the emperor and the empress for their kindness!"
Zhen Huan found this scene extremely boring, so she took Liu Zhu out for some fresh air.
When they reached the edge of the pool, Zhen Huan became playful and took off her shoes and socks, sliding her feet gently across the surface of the lake. The master and servant were laughing and having a great time.
Prince Guo also did not want to attend the banquet. He was wandering aimlessly in the garden when he suddenly heard laughter by the pond.
Prince Guo took a closer look and his eyes lit up. Wasn't this the person he had met by chance in the Yime Garden in the palace?
I think the person in the portrait in my hand is her.
The prince had been carefully exploring the little elephant every day. When he saw the elephant in person today, he didn't consider the other person's identity or gender, and he just stepped forward and teased him.
Zhen Huan felt offended and her expression changed immediately. She sneered, "How dare you! I am the Emperor's Consort Wan! I don't know the identity of this young man, but men and women are different. Please step aside!"
After hearing about Zhen Huan's identity, the prince felt a little downcast, but he didn't move an inch. Instead, he stood still and said leisurely, "Li Houzhu once said 'light-colored jade-like and soft' to praise the beauty's fair skin. I think it would be better to use 'floating jade-like and slender' to better highlight the beauty of the snow-white and slender jade feet."
Zhen Huan was furious, but she was a woman after all. If this matter were to spread, she would be the one to suffer.
So, with a cold face, she quickly asked Liu Zhu to help her put on her shoes and fled the scene.
After Zhen Huan left, Prince Guo's attendant, A Jin, came over and said, "Prince, where have you been? I'm so worried. The Emperor is hosting a banquet for all the princes today. Why haven't you come yet?"
Prince Guo curled his lip and said in a rather unserious tone, "My Royal Brother is truly blessed! He has such a good son like the Crown Prince, such a virtuous wife like the Queen, and so many beautiful concubines. This is truly a blessing."
A Jin didn't understand what Prince Guo said, he could only persuade Prince Guo to go to the banquet quickly.
After Zhen Huan returned to the banquet, her face was a little pale, and this scene happened to fall into Yixiu's eyes.
Yixiu felt a little strange, so she secretly asked Xiudong to find out where Wan Changzai had gone and who she had met.
Concubine Hua also noticed Zhen Huan. After thinking about today's arrangements, a smile appeared on her lips.
Among the three newcomers supported by the Queen, Shen Meizhuang had already set up a fake pregnancy for her, and as for Zhen Huan!
"Your Majesty, ordinary banquets are a bit boring. I thought we should add some fun!"
The Emperor was very interested and asked, "What does Concubine Yi mean?"
Concubine Hua smiled playfully and clapped her hands, and two palace maids came up carrying a small box.
"Your Majesty, I think the sisters in the harem are all talented. Why don't I pick a piece of paper from them and perform for Your Majesty? It's just for fun."
The emperor readily agreed. Concubine Hua stepped forward to demonstrate. She drew the zither and played a guqin piece. Although it was not amazing, she did not make any mistakes.
Concubine Hua had never shown off her piano skills before. The emperor's eyes lit up and he smiled and praised her, "I didn't expect Shilan could play the piano. Su Peisheng, give my Chang Xiang Si to Concubine Hua."
Concubine Hua smiled happily, and looked at Yixiu with a smug look on her lips, "Then I would like to thank the emperor!"
The noble ladies raised by aristocratic families were all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the other concubines also demonstrated their talents in a simple way.
It was not until Zhen Huan drew the lot that she actually drew the Jinghong Wu.
Concubine Hua smiled and said, "Although the stunning dance is different from other talents, there are no outsiders here, and Concubine Wan is here, so I'll just dance a few times casually!"
It was after she took charge of the six palaces that she discovered that there was actually a concubine in the palace, but she had never seen her before, so she asked the old man who had served in the palace to inquire about her.
They then said that this concubine was originally the queen's sister, but because she did something wrong, she was disliked by the emperor and went crazy. However, because of the empress dowager, she was kept well in the palace.
One of the maids even specifically instructed, "Empress Hua, please be careful. The Emperor hates this person the most. I promise you, never mention this person in front of the Emperor."
After asking the name of the concubine, Concubine Hua recalled events from many years ago.
At that time, she was a young lady in the Nian Mansion. She had heard her friends talk about a scandal that happened in the Ulanara family.
It is said that the legitimate daughter of the Ulanara family seduced her brother-in-law when she went to the palace for a banquet, climbed into her brother-in-law's bed, and was caught in bed by many people.
However, this matter was later suppressed by Emperor Kangxi, who forbade others to discuss it privately, so Concubine Hua gradually forgot about it.
At first, Hua Fei just wanted to disgust Yi Xiu, but she didn't expect that after she investigated the life of this concubine, she was shocked by her.
She couldn't help but admire that this concubine was a genius. Wasn't the queen always dignified and elegant?
She just didn't believe that the queen could still bear facing such a disgusting elder sister?
Hua Fei went to see Yi Xiu's face on purpose, but unexpectedly Yi Xiu looked calm, while the emperor looked unhappy.
As expected, he thought of Rouze and felt a headache.
