Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them
Chapter 13 The Tea-Serving Palace Maid (3)
Two years later, the draft is about to begin.
Two years is neither a long nor a short time, and the emperor's harem has undergone considerable changes.
Two years ago, Liang Qiuli became pregnant and was granted the title of Noble Lady by the Emperor.
She was incredibly lucky to give birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and was promoted to the rank of Zhaoyi by the emperor, who bestowed upon her the title of Rong. She was truly the most popular woman ever.
Because Liang Qiuli was pregnant, the ministers of the former dynasty, in order to please the emperor, also wanted to send their daughters into the palace as concubines, hoping to have a son or daughter to rely on.
Because it wasn't a year of general elections, the emperor declined some invitations, but the number of people in the harem still increased considerably.
The most eye-catching among them is Liu Yueru, the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty.
Liu Yueru was beautiful, talented, and of noble birth. Upon entering the palace, she was granted the title of Consort Gui. Two years later, she gave birth to a daughter and is now the highest-ranking Consort Xian in the harem.
The other concubines who gave birth to daughters were mostly of the rank of Noble Consort, Consort, or Lady of the Palace.
Having no offspring and being out of favor only leads to an even lower rank.
It is worth mentioning that after Liang Qiuli became pregnant, she gave the emperor a fertility pill, so although there have been many happy news in the harem in the past two years, they have all been princesses.
This made Liang Qiuli's son the emperor's only prince, with an extremely noble status.
As for Shen Qingyao, two years have passed, but she can still only live in a villa outside the palace.
"Your Highness, today is the day to pay our respects to Consort Xian. It's time to get up."
The palace maid Ruyu gently woke Liang Qiuli.
Liang Qiuli slowly opened her eyes, a faint look of weariness on her face.
She raised her hand and rubbed herself, letting out a soft sigh.
That damned emperor! Knowing she was supposed to pay her respects to Consort Xian today, he still insisted on making her stay up so late.
In the past two years, apart from Liang Qiuli's pregnancy, the emperor has visited Liang Qiuli's palace most of the time.
After all, every aspect of Liang Qiuli was exactly what he wanted.
Last night, the emperor once again dragged Liang Qiuli into a scene of a wealthy young master rescuing a courtesan. The two lingered until late into the night, only falling asleep as dawn approached.
By the time Liang Qiuli arrived at Consort Xian's palace, it was nearly 9:00 AM.
"Greetings to Your Highness, the Virtuous Consort. May Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings and peace."
Liang Qiuli bowed respectfully and, led by a palace maid, sat down in the seat below the Consort Xian.
"Now that everyone is here, I will explain why I invited you here today."
As Consort Xian spoke, she picked up her teacup and took a small sip.
Her gaze slowly swept over the crowd, finally landing on Liang Qiuli.
She was just a palace maid, but now she has risen to the position of Zhaoyi, and the emperor even wants to promote her.
"That's right. Isn't the general election coming up soon? I suggested to the Emperor that all of my sisters have been serving him for a long time and it's time to promote them."
Upon hearing Consort Xian's words, everyone below, except for Liang Qiuli, looked surprised.
The anxiety of the people about the emperor's selection of concubines and the entry of new women into the harem was somewhat alleviated.
"Thank you, Concubine Xian."
As for Liang Qiuli, the emperor had already used this matter to curry favor with her yesterday.
She also knew that Consort Xian originally did not want to promote her rank, but the emperor had some conscience and did not want her to be inferior to the newcomers to the palace, so he promoted her from Zhaoyi to Rongfei.
After saying the most important thing, Consort Xian, under the flattery of the other lower-ranking concubines, said some irrelevant nonsense before ending the greeting.
On the way back.
"Your Majesty, do you think the position of Empress will fall into the hands of a newcomer to the palace, or...?"
Besides the general election, the most pressing question for everyone in the harem is who will become the empress.
Liang Qiuli smiled slightly and shook her head, "This is not something we should worry about."
She knew all too well that no matter how much the emperor liked her body or how much he loved the son she bore, the position of empress could never be hers.
She remained a favored concubine, watching her son grow up, and only when he became successful could she proceed with her next plan.
As for the back position?
The emperor will most likely make Consort Xian his empress, after all, Consort Xian comes from a prestigious family with an illustrious background, has always managed the affairs of the harem without making any major mistakes, and has a relatively large number of children in the harem, and is not jealous.
As for Shen Qingyao, the empress who remarried in her previous life, she probably won't have another chance in this life.
Although the emperor still had feelings for her, he would never break the rules of the court or the balance of power of his family for her sake.
If she can use this election as a strategic retreat to seize the opportunity, there is a very high possibility that she can obtain the rank of Zhaoyi or even Fei.
"Your Highness, you're finally back! The two young masters have been nagging you to come back."
When Liang Qiuli's personal maid, Rulu, saw her return, she hurriedly came to greet her, her face showing a mixture of anxiety and joy.
Upon hearing this, Liang Qiuli felt a headache coming on, but she still quickly walked towards the children's bedroom. The moment she pushed open the door, she heard the children's deafening shouts.
"Mother concubine, mother concubine!"
"I want my mother!"
The two children, being held by their wet nurse, rushed towards Liang Qiuli as soon as she entered.
Liang Qiuli quickly reached out and took her daughter into her arms, coaxing her softly, "Good girl, your mother is back, don't cry, don't cry."
After comforting her daughter, she looked at her son, reached out and hugged him, gently wiping away his tears: "Little man, how can you cry?"
"Yes, a man doesn't easily shed tears."
The emperor had just finished court and strode in from outside. Looking at the heartwarming scene of the mother and her two children, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
He walked to Liang Qiuli's side, and Liang Qiuli put her son into the emperor's arms. The emperor also took the child with great skill.
"The emperor's son is someone the emperor himself can coax."
Liang Qiuli reached out and pinched her son's chubby little face, and said softly.
Then he turned around and took the wet nurse and his own daughter into his arms.
The emperor looked at her with doting eyes, a gentle smile playing on his lips.
Over the past two years, the emperor's attitude towards Liang Qiuli has undergone a complete transformation.
He was no longer the emperor who treated her as a plaything, but instead placed her in a corner of his heart.
Liang Qiuli felt gratified as she watched the emperor skillfully coax the child.
It was all worth it; she had been trying to make her two children's presence known to the emperor for over a year, and now the emperor doted on them.
She remembered that when she had just given birth, the emperor was happy, but not nearly as happy as he was now.
The emperor and Liang Qiuli played with the children together. The children were sleep-deprived, and soon both of them fell into a deep sleep. After handing the children over to the wet nurse, the emperor took Liang Qiuli back to the main hall where she lived.
Having grown up in the palace, the emperor naturally knew that most concubines only used their children as tools to compete for favor, and most of the time they entrusted them to servants to raise, rarely interfering with their own affairs.
But Liang Qiuli was different. Since the child was born, Liang Qiuli had been involved in almost everything. As a result, even the emperor, who often visited her palace, learned a lot about raising children.
This made the emperor love Liang Qiuli even more, as he disliked the intrigue and power struggles in the palace.
He slowly lowered his head and kissed Liang Qiuli's rosy lips, reluctant to part for a long time.
Only when Liang Qiuli completely collapsed into the emperor's arms did he reluctantly release her.
"Pear, how about you give me another child?"
Without waiting for the daytime to finish speaking, the emperor picked up Liang Qiuli and carried her to the bed in the inner palace.
Liang Qiuli's cheeks flushed instantly. She nestled shyly in the emperor's arms and whispered.
"Your Majesty, it is still daytime."
The emperor chuckled softly and gently stroked Liang Qiuli's nose.
"I don't care, I want to have another child with Li'er, the sooner the better."
