The Queen of the TV Series: Take turns to sit in my house this year
Chapter 139 Noble Lady Fucha 20
With so many people dying in the palace one after another, it was impossible for the empress dowager, who was old and cunning, not to notice her niece Yixiu's tactics. She was exhausted and fell ill again after just recovering.
Unable to cope alone, Shen Meizhuang had to work extremely hard to curry favor with the Empress Dowager in order to secure her protection. Meanwhile, Yixiu was frequently summoned to the Cining Palace by the Empress Dowager to attend to her illness and to be disciplined. Even this year's New Year's Eve banquet was not even attended by the Empress, but rather hosted by Yueli and Feng Ruozhao.
Yixiu, who received the Queen Mother's oral order, had an impeccable smile on her face, but Yueli felt the fleeting murderous intent coming from her.
Yes, Qi Yuebin died, Nian Shilan died, Li Jingyan died too, and all the old stories from Yongzheng's time in the palace were buried with them. Yixiu should have been very happy, but instead, she, the Concubine Yi, rose to prominence again. How could the Queen not resent her?
On the sixth day of the first lunar month in the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, Pang Ju bestowed titles on the concubines in the harem in the name of bringing good luck to the empress dowager.
Yueli was officially appointed Imperial Consort Yi and granted the power to assist in the management of the six harems. As the first person under the empress, Yueli now had a child, power, family background, and status. The three harem leaders could not just let her develop.
So the emperor dug out Concubine Yu Geng, who was raising her child in the Old Summer Palace, and named her Concubine Yu. She was also allowed to return to the palace to participate in the ceremony of naming her Concubine Yu. The empress dowager also praised Shen Meizhuang, who had been diligently serving the sick. Not only did she promote her to Concubine Hui, she also let her follow Concubine Jing to take care of the affairs of the harem.
The Empress, not wanting to be left behind, recommended the noble lady Borjigit and the gentle and graceful An Lingrong as concubines. Pang Ju accepted both of their proposals.
In addition, Guaerjia Wenyuan, who had not yet entered the palace, was conferred the title of Concubine Qi. The imperial edict was sent to the Guaerjia Mansion, and the emperor granted Concubine Qi permission to enter the palace after the Lantern Festival.
Yu Ying'er, who was so frightened by the death of Concubine Qi years ago that she had to burn mugwort every day to protect her pregnancy, was also named a concubine.
Although Zhen Huan, who had been demoted to a noble lady, failed to receive a promotion, she was released by the emperor and participated in the ceremony of conferring the title of consort. The emperor even ordered the renovation of Yongshou Palace in advance and, against all odds, allowed Zhen Huan to live in the main hall of Yongshou Palace as a noble lady.
Also moving into the newly renovated Yongshou Palace with Zhen Huan was Concubine Qi, who had expressed her loyalty to the Queen as soon as she entered the palace.
Zhen Huan, who had successively lost her half-sister Chun'er and her biological sister Huanbi, was very happy to have her new sister Guaerjia Wenyuan close to her.
After all, Concubine Qi was charming and charming, her father was good friends with Zhen Yuandao, and had even lent her family 56,000 taels of silver. They also shared the same palace. Furthermore, although Zhen Huan was now forced to feign obsequiousness with the Emperor for survival, she couldn't let go of the humiliation of Fatty Ju using her as a substitute, and she couldn't forget the deaths of Liu Zhu, Huan Bi, and Wen Shi Chu! Therefore, Zhen Huan was very happy to have an ally favored by the Emperor.
Seeing that her sister Wan had gained another good sister, An Lingrong felt uncomfortable. With Baojuan's instigation, her sensitive heart was twisted. Under the Queen's instigation, she became increasingly alienated from Zhen Huan...
In addition to the living, Nian Shilan, whose body was still warm, was posthumously named Imperial Noble Consort and given the posthumous title of Dunsu; the deceased Concubine Duan was posthumously named Noble Consort Duanyi, and several other former people in the Qiandi Palace were also posthumously named.
Concubine Qi was not posthumously honored, but her son Hongshi was awarded the title of Gushan Beizi. The Queen was extremely pleased with this, because after Concubine Qi died, any posthumous title would be empty, and only the title that fell on Hongshi was a real benefit.
In addition, a concubine named Li among the old people in the Qiandi Palace attracted the attention of Yixiu and Zhen Huan. This was because she was Li Jingui, the biological mother of the Fourth Prince, whom the Emperor never wanted to mention.
Li Jingui's posthumous title of noble lady was a great gift from Yueli to Hongli, and it was also Yueli's way of preventing Zhen Huan, who had been a little desperate recently and wanted to seek medical treatment from everywhere, from losing her mind and renewing her mother-son relationship with Hongli.
Zhen Huan regretted learning from Su Peisheng that Concubine Yi suggested that the Emperor posthumously confer a title on the Fourth Prince's mother. The Fourth Prince was intelligent and almost grown up, so winning him over might be a great help in the future. Unfortunately, Concubine Yi took advantage of such a good opportunity.
The Empress was furious. The Emperor no longer cared about the drunken incident; otherwise, he wouldn't have posthumously honored Li Jingui. But why? Was it because the Eighth Prince's faction, which had used Li Jingui to scheme against the Emperor, had been completely crushed?
That Fourth Prince is really an eyesore~
"Imperial Concubine Yi is always soft-hearted," she said. "Having the Sixth Prince as her biological child and the filial Princess Shuhe is not enough. She also wants to win over the Fourth Prince! Her hands are really long~"
"The Fourth Prince is a pitiful child. Jianqiu, you should take good care of him in the Yuanmingyuan in the future. It's freezing cold, so don't let the Fourth Prince suffer any injustice."
A gleam of light flashed across Jianqiu's eyes. Things that Her Majesty doesn't like should not exist, and people that Her Majesty finds annoying should no longer be alive! "Don't worry, Her Majesty, I won't forget the Fourth Prince."
Hongli was completely unaware of the palace's plotting. The moment he received the imperial edict in the Old Summer Palace, he was overcome with emotion. While the rank of a noble wasn't particularly high, at least his mother had a legitimate status, and he was no longer the wild child of humble origins.
After hearing from the eunuchs that his mother was able to be conferred the title of noble lady with the help of Concubine Yi, he couldn't help but feel some sincere gratitude towards Yue Li.
"Mrs. Yi, thank you so much! Hongli will always remember this kindness."
Having said that, maybe the wedding ceremony really is effective. Just as the excitement of the imperial concubine's ceremony had subsided, a big happy event happened in the palace!
The Empress Dowager, who is over 40 years old, is pregnant!
"You, what did you say? This lady, this lady is pregnant?!"
"Reporting to Her Majesty, I dare not speak rashly. Your pulse is flowing smoothly, like pearls rolling on a jade plate. This is undoubtedly a pregnancy pulse!"
"Oh! The Empress is so happy! The Emperor is so happy! I congratulate the Empress on giving birth to a legitimate prince for the Emperor!" Yue Liyu smiled sweetly and congratulated the Empress. Her voice and expression were so sincere.
In fact, the Queen's pregnancy was already two months old, so it should have been discovered earlier. However, when Yixiu was pregnant, the harem was in turmoil, and there were several funeral ceremonies for the concubine, all of which had to be handled by the Queen. Yixiu was so busy that she was running around.
After that, Yixiu was often called by the Empress Dowager for beating. Even though she felt a little uncomfortable, she did not dare to ask the imperial physician to check, for fear of displeasing the Empress Dowager again. In addition, the two imperial physicians Zhang and Lin, whom she trusted, took leave one after another, and Yixiu did not trust anyone else, so it was delayed until today.
Although Yueli's congratulations were sincere, Lu Yingfeng, who was familiar with her, could clearly see some excitement in her eyes. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. But no matter what, Yueli, the imperial concubine, had congratulated her, and everyone had to express their opinions. Lu Yingfeng ignored his doubts and stood up with everyone to congratulate the queen on her big day.
Congratulated, Yixiu felt as if she were stepping on cotton balls. The usually intelligent and steady Empress Dowager showed a silly look in front of everyone for the first time. She touched her belly blankly, and there was a vague sense of unreality. "I, I'm pregnant? After more than 20 years, I, Ulanara Yixiu, am pregnant again?"
This sudden surprise made Yixiu ignore the strangeness in her heart. While she was happy, she also wanted to attack Hongsheng (Yueli's parents) again. She thought to herself, "Good boy, the Queen Mother has finally waited for you. Don't worry, the Queen Mother will definitely clear all obstacles for you!"
"It was that night! It must have been that night!" Thinking of that night last winter, Jianqiu and the others burst into tears of joy, "Your Majesty, I congratulate you on your great wedding!"
"Hurry, go tell the Emperor and the Empress Dowager the good news!"
Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, at this moment everyone present surrounded the Queen to congratulate her. Hongshi, who was squeezed into the corner, was also happy for his Empress Dowager, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly remembered that he had told Shuhe the story of Min Ziqian wearing reed clothes to obey his mother yesterday, but Shuhe asked him why Min Ziqian stopped his father from divorcing his vicious stepmother.
Why? Because when the mother is around, one son is left alone; when the mother is gone, three sons are left alone. Min Ziqian didn't want his stepmother divorced because he feared her departure would leave her children, like he had been, abused by the next stepmother. After all, who wouldn't be partial to their own flesh and blood?
"What about the Empress Dowager? Although she loves me, that's because she has no biological children. Now she's about to have her own children, so what am I? An outsider? Will the Empress Dowager still love me as much as before?"
Thinking of this, Hongshi's nose was sore and he almost shed tears. He held it back, but in his heart he was crying loudly, "Mother, I miss you..."
