The baby's one-month-old banquet was considered grand, surpassing the standard of a one-month-old banquet for a prince born by a concubine. Other than the grounded Empress and the pregnant Noble Consort Fang, the other concubines all attended the one-month-old banquet.
Everyone was envious and jealous of Noble De.
Liu Xiangya's hatred was especially strong. She stared at Liu Weirong, who was dressed up next to the Empress Dowager. Seeing that all the women were looking at her, her eyes flashed with blood and she bit down. Lips. She was not willing to let Liu Weirong climb over her head. She had been promoted to concubine, but she, the eldest sister, had been demoted to Chang Zai.
It made her feel aggrieved and humiliated at the same time.
However, this was only a matter of a moment. Soon, Liu Xiangya returned to her beautiful and gentle appearance.
He agreed with Chang Zai, who was around him, and started chatting and laughing.
The Full Moon Banquet began very soon. Although the snow had stopped, the weather was still very cold. The Full Moon Banquet could not be held in the Imperial Garden. It could only be held in Baohe Palace.
During the one-month-old banquet, Murong Che personally gave the baby a name, Murong Yao.
The officials below looked at the healthy and energetic First Prince in the empress dowager's arms, and their thoughts were all different.
He was the only prince of the Emperor.
In addition, the baby did not cry or make a fuss. He could even grin. His fair, fat, and healthy appearance was very likable. Those women who saw him were all very fond of him. Words of praise came endlessly, and the smile on Liu Weirong's face almost froze.
Perhaps because the baby was too heavy, the Empress Dowager was tired after carrying him for an hour. The baby fell asleep, so the Empress Dowager sent the baby to Nanny Chen and brought the nannies back to Rou Fu Palace.
No matter what, the month-old banquet was the main focus. Of course, there was also an important matter of promotion today.
Liu Weirong saw that the Empress Dowager was so straightforward in sending the baby back, and the worry that she had endured for a month finally dissipated.
It was good that the baby was back.
The other concubines could only look on enviously.
Consort Shu fiercely tugged at her handkerchief and unconsciously stroked it. He touched his stomach. When would he be able to get pregnant with the little prince?
When Murong Che saw this, his expression softened.
His mother did not disappoint him this time.
Liu Zhihao saw that his third daughter was standing beside the Empress Dowager, and she was gracefully dealing with the court ladies. He smiled in satisfaction. Although he had the lowest official position here, he had a good daughter.
Didn't he see that the third-grade official was talking to him?
As Liu Zhihao's wife, Madam Jiang naturally knew about the Liu family.
The two daughters of the Liu family were both selected to enter the palace, which caused a great sensation at that time.
The Eldest Young Miss, who had been pinned with hope and was favored by others, was now just Chang Zai, while the Third Young Miss, who had been neglected in the Liu family, had given birth to the eldest son.
Comparing the two, the Jiang family's balance was leaning towards Liu Weirong.
He secretly decided to befriend Liu Weirong.
Halfway through the one-month-old banquet, Murong Che suddenly ordered someone to announce the decree of promotion.
Halfway through the reading of the decree, the crowd burst into an uproar.
At the one-month-old banquet, she would be conferred the title of virtuous concubine, and she would definitely enjoy the kowtowing of all the women. This was the treatment of consort. Although it was slightly inferior to the consort ceremony and not as grand, compared to the other concubines, it was a great favor.
Liu Weirong was stunned, obviously not expecting this. She looked at the Emperor helplessly.
"Emperor, this…"
Murong Che glanced at her indifferently, and Liu Weirong immediately shut up.
The emperor was the most powerful.
When Consort Shu and Consort Hui heard the imperial edict, they were jealous.
"Emperor, this is against the rules. When you are promoted to a concubine position, you cannot accept the kneeling of a woman.”Consort Shu couldn't hold her breath any longer as she spoke anxiously.
"Yes, emperor, Shu Fei jiejie is right.”Although Consort Hui and Consort Shu did not get along, she felt very uncomfortable when she saw a concubine who was lower than her actually enjoy the worship of a Ming Fu.
Consort Duan and Consort Xian also disagreed.
"Did Zhen say that De Pin should accept the kowtow of a Ming Fu?”Murong Che glanced at the Fourth Concubine and said coldly.
He would not break this rule for De Pin.
The Fourth Concubine was speechless.
Liu Weirong's worried heart also relaxed.
As expected, after reading the decree, there was an additional clause at the end that the imperial court's women did not need to kneel.
After all, if he was promoted in public, he had to kneel down unless he was specifically instructed.
Only then did Consort Shu and the others 'expressions improve.
Everyone congratulated Liu Weirong, and Liu Weirong had no choice but to smile.
Liu Xiangya clenched her fists and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Before she could recover from the shock of her father bringing his wife into the palace, she heard that Liu Weirong had been promoted to Concubine De at the one-month-old banquet.
The double blow almost crushed her.
Was she going to accept her fate like this?
No, no, she refused to accept her fate.
She definitely still had a chance to turn things around. She had an indescribable fate.
Liu Xiangya clenched her fists and encouraged herself.
Liu Zhihao was so happy. His daughter had been promoted, and with the eldest son by her side, the prosperity of the Liu family was just around the corner.
The Jiang family was even happier. Since Concubine De and the Zhang mother and daughter were not on good terms, they could rope her in.
When she gave birth to a son, she would have someone to rely on in the future.
"Master, you have a good daughter!”Madam Jiang praised.
Liu Zhihao smiled happily.
At this moment, a discordant voice sounded.
"Your Majesty, this lowly official believes that Noble De is not worthy of the title 'De.' De is good. Noble De has not done anything praiseworthy. This lowly official also agrees that you have contributed to the birth of the First Prince and have been promoted to a concubine, but this title is not a small matter.”
When the Right Prime Minister heard that the Emperor had made Noble De Concubine De, he immediately objected.
Virtuous Noble, given the title De, no one would say anything. She was just a noble, but she was a concubine, and she was given the title De. It was equivalent to the current head of the concubines, from the second grade.
He had crossed several levels.
The emperor only had titles for his concubines, Jing and Gong. These were all of the third rank, while the ones without titles were only of the fourth rank. They were ranked at the bottom. They had served the emperor in their early years, so it was only natural for them to have titles. In addition, they were not favored, so it was difficult for them to rise up. However, it was difficult to say for this noble person De.
Noble, virtuous, virtuous, and benevolent, these five were the best titles for the concubines of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Therefore, the title of 'De' had to be strangled to death as soon as possible.
The title of nobility could be removed and changed during promotion. These were all allowed, but it was rarely changed. However, once one was in the position of concubine, they could live alone in a palace, and this title became especially important.
This was because the title of Concubine had to be extended when it came to consort.
This was something that the Right Prime Minister could not bear. He had given birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and although he had done well in giving birth, he was not worthy of this title.
As soon as the Right Prime Minister said this, the ministers all stood up to ask the Emperor to reconsider.
Consort Shu's lips unconsciously revealed a smile.
The other concubines were also secretly looking forward to the Emperor changing the title of Concubine De.
The empress dowager looked on coldly. As long as the Fang family did not jump out, it was fine. In fact, the Fang family had no reason to jump out. The daughter of the Fang family was an imperial concubine when she entered the palace.
His starting point was much higher than the others.
Liu Weirong was calm and unaffected. Actually, changing her title was also good.
She didn't know that her indifference was a calm expression in the eyes of those women.
"Lord Right Prime Minister, I'm afraid you've forgotten that the greenhouses were planted by Empress De Pin. Who knows how many people were saved from this year's snow disaster. This is a good deed for the world. With Empress De Pin's prestige, this humble subject believes that Empress De Pin is qualified for this title.”The Left Minister, who had been single-handedly promoted by Murong Che, sneered.
The Left Minister's words made the atmosphere turn strange.
The Left Minister's faction supported the Emperor. Liu Zhihao also belonged to this faction, and they all agreed with what the Left Minister said.
Hence, the two factions of the Prime Minister began to fight each other.
It was an eye-opener for Liu Weirong.
Murong Che glanced at her and saw that she was so focused on watching the two officials fight. She did not have the slightest awareness of being the center of the storm. The corner of his mouth twitched. How stupid and dumb was she?
As the arguments between the two factions became more and more intense, Murong Che's face darkened. He shouted coldly,""Enough!"
The two of them immediately shut up and stood quietly at the side.
"Senior Prime Minister, you seem to have forgotten that this is my family matter?”Murong Che stared coldly at the Senior Prime Minister and said.
The Right Prime Minister's face stiffened and he refuted without confidence,""I believe that the matter of promotion is a major matter of the country.”
"If you don't mention it, I still don't know that my family matters have become national affairs. In this world, is it me who has the final say, or is it you, the Right Prime Minister? Hmm? If you want to interfere in my family affairs, will you also interfere in my throne one day?”
The Emperor narrowed his eyes, his entire body emitting a cold aura. His sharp gaze swept across the ministers, and his cold voice carried a hint of coldness.
It was cold.
As soon as he said that, the atmosphere instantly turned cold.
The Emperor's dominance had made these old officials look askance at him. The Right Prime Minister had kicked an iron plate.
Usually, it was nothing to cause trouble for the Emperor in the Imperial Court, but now he wanted to interfere in the Emperor's family affairs. Wasn't this courting death?
The officials who had originally agreed with the Right Prime Minister were now filled with regret.
Seeing this scene, Liu Weirong secretly sighed. These officials were really bold, even meddling in the affairs of the emperor's harem. They were really not afraid of death.
"I don't dare!" The Senior Prime Minister's face paled, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He quickly knelt down.
"Zhen doesn't see anything that you don't dare to do. It seems that the Senior Prime Minister is really too free. It just so happens that the snow has stopped today.”The Emperor lightly knocked on the table and warned coldly.
"Your humble subject obeys." The Right Prime Minister was completely defeated this time. Seeing the Left Prime Minister sneer at him, he couldn't help but feel angry and secretly remembered the Left Prime Minister.
Murong Che suppressed all the ministers, Liu Weirong's title remained unchanged, she was still Concubine De.
This time, the Emperor's decisiveness had ruthlessly brushed off the Right Prime Minister's face. It made the ministers realize that the Emperor was not the previous Emperor and that this was the Emperor's family matter. The fact that he had been promoted at the one-month-old banquet also showed how much he valued Concubine De, the biological mother of the eldest son of the Emperor.
Otherwise, no one would say anything if she were to be promoted after she was born as the eldest son.
This was the first time Liu Weirong had seen Murong Che's cold, dignified, and domineering appearance. She finally experienced the majesty of an emperor.
When the other concubines saw the Emperor's power, they were all stunned for a moment. After they reacted, they all grabbed their handkerchief and cursed Concubine De in their hearts.
The one-month-old banquet soon ended, and the Emperor and Empress Dowager left.
Liu Xiangya looked at her father and then at the woman beside him. She bit her lip and left with tears in her eyes. She didn't look back.
Liu Weirong ignored the concubines who were deliberately trying to get close to her, especially Xie Pin. Every time she saw her, she wanted to take a detour.
After talking to Noble Liu and Luo Pin for a while, she hurriedly prepared to go back to see Tuan Tuan, but Xing 'er told her that Second Mistress Liu wanted to see her.
Liu Weirong was stunned. Second Madam Liu? The wife of a cheap father?
"Let her come over." Thinking of the two letters in her space, she decided to return them to her cheap father and see what he meant.
Perhaps all of this had nothing to do with his cheap father, but was caused by Zhang shi and her daughter.
Mrs. Jiang quickly came over and knelt down when she saw Liu Weirong.
After Liu Weirong got her up, she asked lightly,""May I know why Second Mother is looking for me?”
Madam Jiang smiled and told her the reason for her visit. The gist of it was that she hoped to gain her support so that her family would also support the First Prince.
Liu Weirong thought about it. She was alone, so it was good to have someone to support her. Jiang Shi's family was a merchant family, so she didn't lack money. In addition, Jiang Shi was now a month pregnant. If she gave birth to a son, it would be a help to her.
Hence, he nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Jiang was happy. She held her hand and said something to her, and even deliberately stuffed a small stack of large face value banknotes into her hands.
Liu Weirong accepted it with a smile.
This Jiang Corporation knew how to behave.
"Second Mother, these two letters were given to me by Father through Eldest Sister. Help me pass them to Father and ask him what they mean.”
Liu Weirong scooped out the two letters from her sleeve and handed them to Madam Jiang.
Madam Jiang was stunned." This…"
Liu Weirong pursed her lips into a smile and whispered,""Let father see it. There might be a surprise.”
When Madam Jiang heard this, a trace of deep thought flashed across her eyes.
He put away the two letters and said goodbye to Liu Weirong with a smile.
Liu Weirong brought Xing 'er, White Lotus, and the other palace servants back to Soft Fortune Palace in a hurry. Now that Soft Fortune Palace was considered her main palace, the number of people had increased.
They were all Murong Che's men. Consort Shu and the others wanted to interfere, but the Emperor would not allow it.
The safety of the eldest son was the most important.
The moment she entered the inner room, Liu Weirong heard Tuan Tuan's reluctant voice. Her eyes reddened, and her heart softened.
Granny Chen and the other grandmothers bowed to Liu Weirong. Liu Weirong asked them to leave, leaving Granny Chen, Bai Lian, Xing 'er, and the others behind.
She picked up the baby and kissed him hard. Liu Weirong almost cried when she saw the baby giggling at her.
White Lotus and Xing 'er's eyes reddened. They were the masters who had been waiting for the Eldest Prince's return every day for a month.
Liu Weirong wiped away her tears and quickly changed into a set of ordinary clothes. She carried Tuan Tuan and sat on the couch to play for a while. Tuan Tuan was hungry, and his small hands began to pull at her lapels. She had just changed her clothes, and the lapels were very loose. After a few moves, he pulled them away and moved his little head closer to her chest. Liu Weirong was stunned.
"Master, the First Prince is hungry!”Bai Lian covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"This servant will go and call Nanny over.”Wet Nurse Chen said hurriedly.
Liu Weirong quickly stopped him." Nanny Chen, there's no need. I want to breastfeed Tuan Tuan. His milk has been increasing these days, and it's full.”
After saying that, she pressed her chest. He pulled down his front clothes and let White Lotus scoop a hot towel. After wiping it, he hugged the little dumpling to his chest. Let him drink milk and smell the fragrance of milk. Tuan Tuan started to inhale with all his might.
Wet Nurse Chen didn't agree at first, but seeing that Master had already started feeding her, she put it down.
"Eat slowly." Liu Weirong saw that her son was eating too fast and choked. She quickly patted his back gently.
Murong Che saw the picture of mother and son feeding as soon as he came in, staring at Concubine De's chest. His son, who was enjoying his milk, had a fiery light flash in his eyes.
When Granny Chen, Xing 'er, and White Lotus saw the Emperor enter, they were shocked and quickly greeted him.
Liu Weirong held her suckling son and gently pressed his back. She smiled and greeted Murong Che, but when she saw his dark face, she was stunned. Who made him angry again?
Murong Che walked over with his thin lips pursed tightly. His large hand suddenly picked up Tuan Tuan, who was still drinking milk, and said to Granny Chen with a cold face,""Carry the Eldest Prince down and let Nanny feed him.”
Granny Chen, who was standing at the side, hurriedly reached out her hand to receive the Eldest Prince. Who knew that Tuan Tuan would suddenly stand up straight and shoot a stream of virgin urine at Murong Che's face.
