A few months later, the empress gave birth to the seventh elder brother, named "Yong Cong". After such a long time, the Emperor finally smiled. Seeing Yongcong's appearance, the Emperor finally felt a little relieved.
The Empress loved Yongcong even more because she had a prince in the Prince's mansion before. He was the Second Prince Yonglian, but he died before he was a year old. The Empress was very heartbroken. The other was the third princess Gulun and the princess Jing. The emperor had already betrothed her to the auxiliary duke of the Horqin Borjijit family, Sebuteng Balejuer, and she did not live in the palace.
Therefore, when she saw Yongcong, the Empress treated him as a pearl in her palm. She did not allow a wet nurse to feed him and took care of him herself. The so-called hardship was naturally self-evident.
When the Emperor returned to the palace, he still hadn't gone to Yi Kun Palace. Guan Ling had even asked to meet the Emperor at the Yangxin Palace's entrance several times, but he hadn't received any reply. Guan Ling was anxious, so Che Xuan told her to wait slowly. The emperor had Yongcong, so he went to see him every time and was very happy.
"I see that you have lost weight recently. Why don't you take Yongcong to the wet nurse so that you can rest?”The Emperor touched the Empress 'hand and said.
The Empress shook her head and smiled." ChenQie likes children. She likes to take care of them herself. They have feelings!" Besides, ChenQie has enough milk."
The Emperor smiled,"Just having a child means that I have no status!"”
The Empress smiled and looked at the Emperor. She hugged Yong Cong and fed him milk."The emperor sure knows how to joke. Oh right, the emperor can take a look at Wang Pin. In these few months, Wang Pin seems to have changed into a different person!”
"Oh?" The Emperor frowned and looked at the Empress suspiciously.
The Empress did not look at him and continued,"Concubine Wang sent gifts to the concubines of the various palaces and apologized to them." Ever since she found out about Concubine Xun's death, she went to Baohua Hall every day to pray for blessings. When you guys went to Yuanmingyuan to avoid the summer, she prayed for Chenqie every day. Whether it was the scorching heat or the torrential rain, she never stopped! It was probably because Concubine Wang had lost her child and hoped that ChenQie's child would be well. It was also probably because Buddha was moved by Concubine Wang and allowed ChenQie to give birth to an elder brother!”
The Emperor didn't say anything. It had been a long time since he last saw Guan Ling. After all, she had lost her child, so it was natural for her to be sad. She must have turned over a new leaf by now. Tonight, he had turned over Guan Ling's green card.
Guan Ling was exhausted after returning from the Treasure Hall. Feng Shi Nan saw her and quickly went up to her,"The Empress has finally returned! This servant is so anxious! The emperor flipped your green head card tonight, niangniang quickly prepare!”
Guan Ling was very excited when she heard that the Emperor was coming,"Che Xuan! The emperor flipped bengong's sign! Bengong can finally be favored! Hurry up! Quickly help bengong dress up!"
Che Xuan was also very happy and quickly helped Guan Ling dress up with a few maids. Not long after, the Emperor arrived. Guan Ling knelt down and saluted. The Emperor saw Guan Ling's haggard appearance and couldn't bear to see her so he helped her up.
"I haven't come to see you for a long time." The Emperor looked at Guan Ling and said,"Your complexion is much worse and you look haggard." I heard that you go to Baohua Hall every day. I think it's enough. Now that the Empress has given birth to Yongcong, you've done something. I think you've become much more stable and want to restore your title.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Guan Ling knelt down and bowed. However, praying for the Empress and Xun Pin is what ChenQie should do and should not receive any rewards. Moreover, the Empress Dowager has decreed that she cannot be promoted for two years, so ChenQie…"
"Get up." The Emperor interrupted Guan Ling. Guan Ling stood up and sat silently on the other side of the bed.
"You've really become much quieter.”The Emperor said gratefully," Restoring your title is just restoring it, not promoting it, so you won't go against the Empress Dowager's decree. Don't worry."”After saying that, he turned to Yuan Qing and said," Restore Concubine Wang's title. You'll still be Concubine Dun. I hope that you'll still be as honest and dignified as you are now."”
Guan Ling was secretly happy and quickly knelt down to thank him. Needless to say, the Emperor stayed overnight in Yi Kun Palace.
The news of Guan Ling's restoration of her title spread throughout the entire harem. The eunuchs and palace maids who had fawned over Guan Ling all came to present gifts to express their gratitude. The Empress also sent people to give her a lot of jewelry. Imperial Concubine Xian also ordered someone to deliver some materials.
This news did not make Ruoqin happy. Early in the morning, Ruoqin came to Zhi Ran's palace and sat down angrily.
"Who made my sister angry?" Zhi Ran stood up from the dressing table and asked with a smile.
"I'm right!" Ruoqin said. That Wang Guanling was definitely up to no good! Look, she's in favor again!"
Zhi Ran sighed,"It's not like I don't know about this. I believe that many people can see through Wang Guanling's intentions. It's just a pity that the Emperor can't see it clearly."”Narcissus tied up the flag for Zhi Ran, and Fei Xing brought over clothes for Zhi Ran to change.
Outside the screen, Ruoqin rubbed her handkerchief and said,""Not only the emperor, I heard that it was the empress who recommended the emperor!”
Zhi Ran smiled and walked out from behind the screen."Now that the Empress has Seventh Prince, she doesn't really care about the affairs of the Inner Palace. How could she know how vicious Wang Guanling was?”
"Then what should we do?" Ruoqin frowned as she looked at Zhi Ran.
Zhi Ran shook her head." Just wait and see. If Wang Guanling becomes domineering again, people will definitely hate her."”
"Niangniang, the emperor hasn't come to our place these few days. Ever since that Consort Dun Pin regained her favor, the Emperor doesn't seem to come here anymore.”Pin Ru said as she cleaned Xiang Zhu's flute.
Xiang Zhu took a sip of tea, her thin lips curled up as she said lightly,"It's almost winter now. Go to the room and tell the eunuch in charge there that bengong wants a purple silk cloak this year, with rabbit fur as the border.”
"I know," she replied with a frown. Did the Empress not listen to this servant? Before she could finish, Xiang Zhu started to vomit.
"Empress! Empress, what's wrong? Eunuch Jiang! Quickly call the Imperial Physician!" Jiang Wengu saw it at the door and hurriedly ran to the hospital.
After a while, Wei Mo arrived. After looking around and asking questions, he knelt down and congratulated,"Congratulations, Empress! The Empress is already two months pregnant!”
This made Xiangzhu very happy." BenGong's period has always been irregular. I'm afraid that it will be irregular in the next two months. In addition, BenGong didn't vomit before. How could it be…go!" Pin Ru, go tell the emperor! Tell the emperor that bengong is pregnant!"
"Yes, sir!" Pin Ru ran out.
Pin Ru didn't like Guan Ling. She felt that Guan Ling was a bully and a vicious person. Especially when the Emperor had Guan Ling, he would treat Xiang Zhu coldly. Every slave had their master in mind. Only when their master was favored could they be superior to others. Pin Ru didn't even think about it and walked towards Yi Kun Palace. The emperor must be at Guan Ling's place, as expected.
"Emperor, Shun Pin Niangniang's palace maid, Pin Ru, requests an audience.”Yuan Qing replied.
The Emperor was reading a book while Guan Ling was massaging his shoulders.
"What is it?" The Emperor didn't look up.
"They say that Shun Pin Niangniang is pregnant."
"Really?" The Emperor's expression was very happy. He immediately got up from the bed and tidied up his clothes, saying,"Go to Yonghe Palace immediately!" With that, he left without looking back, leaving Guan Ling sitting on the couch alone.
" Empress…" Che Xuan walked in and saw the jealousy in Guan Ling's eyes. She walked to her side and bowed,""No…"
Guan Ling glanced at Che Xuan and pursed her lips,""It's a good thing that sister is pregnant. BenGong will copy the Buddhist scriptures for her tonight and ask for the safety of both mother and son.”
"This servant will do as you say," answered Che Xuan with a smile.”
In the Cining Palace, the Emperor was talking to the Empress Dowager about Concubine Shun's pregnancy. Xiang Zhu knelt in front of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager inserted a golden hairpin into her banner.
"Thank you for your grace, Empress Dowager!" Xiangzhu kowtowed and thanked him.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said," This is the golden hairpin that Empress Dowager Xiao Gong Ren once gave to this widow. This widow will reward you with it. You have to give the Emperor a good heir!"”
"Yes, sir!" Xiang Zhu kowtowed again.
The Empress Dowager motioned for her to stand up and said to the Emperor,""Now that Consort Shun is pregnant, I think she was conferred the title two years ago. Now that she is pregnant, it is time for her to be promoted. You will be promoted to Consort Shun and send someone to forge the golden book and treasure. The ceremony was scheduled for the first day of the twelfth lunar month. Also, if you become Consort Shun, there will be two concubines in the Eternal Harmony Palace. Why don't you move to the Scenic Yang Palace? There is no master position in the Scenic Yang Palace. In the future, you will be the master position of the Scenic Yang Palace!”
"Your son also has the same intention!" The emperor smiled at Xiang Zhu, who quickly knelt down to thank him.
"Sister, do you know that Gu Xiangzhu is now Consort Shun?”Ruoqin was having her meal in Zhi Ran's palace when she asked," Not only that, she's going to become the master of Scenic Yang Palace next month! What should I do? If she goes to Scenic Yang Palace, I'll have to meet Wang Guanling often!”
"Since Consort Shun is pregnant, it is reasonable for her to be promoted. There were so many people in the Scenic Yang Palace, but didn't two of them agree?”Zhi Ran asked calmly as she ate.
"Miao promised to go to Yonghe Palace. Bai promised to be conferred the title of Bai Chang Zai and went to Changchun Palace.”Ruoqin said as she swallowed her food. Zhi Ran nodded and continued eating. Ruoqin frowned as if she wanted to say something. She looked at Zhi Ran without saying a word.
"I know what you want to say." Zhi Ran said.
"Sister! You were given the title of noble when you entered the palace! Those who entered the palace with us have all been promoted! Sister, you're still a noble person. Even sister feels wronged for you.”
Zhi Ran smiled and said,"I'm not in a hurry. What are you in a hurry for?" Besides, hadn't Noble Qing never been promoted before?”
"Noble Qing teaches the palace maids how to embroider patterns every day. The empress dowager has long liked it very much. Moreover, Noble Qing serves the empress dowager every day. This promotion is only a matter of time. Sister, you are also so favored by the emperor, why doesn't the emperor reward you?”
Ruoqin's words actually hurt Zhi Ran. Everyone could see the Emperor's love for her, but it was also love. The Emperor had promoted Guan Ling twice. She used to be a regular Guan Ling, but now her position was higher than Zhi Ran's. Zhi Ran put down her bowl and chopsticks and silently looked out the window.
"Now that Wang Guan Ling is favored again, she's going to become Consort Dun again after a few days, but we're still noble people. I don't want to live like a fish on a chopping block.”Ruoqin complained, but suddenly realized that Zhi Ran had no reaction. She knew that she had said too much and quickly changed her words,"However, elder sister shouldn't take it to heart. Elder sister is currently being favored, so it's only a matter of time before she becomes a concubine.”
Zhi Ran smiled slightly and sighed deeply. Emperor, ChenQie doesn't want any position. I only hope that in your heart, ChenQie will always have a place.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
