The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

Qingbi stood at the gate of Jingyang Palace, breathing heavily for a long time, and finally uttered: "Bah, what's the air? Do you think I really want to climb the high branches of Jingyang Palace?"

What secrets are there in the harem? This matter quickly spread to the ears of various palaces.

After hearing this, Lu Zhaolin sighed: "Ah Ying's temperament, let me say what is good. Everyone else likes to add to the cake, but she is the only one who can provide help in times of trouble. She does not like to take credit for it, but it is easy for her to complain."

After saying this, he felt relieved.

Now it seems that Ah Ying's previous care for the concubines in the cold palace was really out of kindness and not because she wanted to form a clique.

In Xianfu Palace, the imperial concubine also heard about this.

After Xianyue said this, there was quite a bit of gloating in her words: "You also took good care of the Qing concubine. She said words of gratitude and turned around to go to Jingyang Palace to please her with a shy face. No, I don't Rare, right?"

The imperial concubine remained calm, with a slight smile on her lips: "Concubine Chen has gained wisdom through hard work. She is afraid that this Qing concubine will become the second Ning Gui concubine."

The British princess sat next to her and said warmly: "The left and right have nothing to do with your Majesty. Your Majesty can just give birth to the little prince with peace of mind."

The imperial concubine took her hand and patted it gently: "Don't worry, mother, I won't have to worry about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch came through the door and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to see you, my concubine."

The imperial concubine curled her lips: "Please come in."

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-March and the imperial concubine gave birth to a son safely.

Three days later, a baptism ceremony was held for the newly born Ninth Prince in the palace. The third baptism ceremony was held according to the specifications of the imperial concubine. It seemed that Lu Zhaolin did not intend to advance into the imperial concubine's position for her contribution to giving birth to a child.

This realization made many people in the palace feel relieved.

If the imperial concubine goes one step further, she will become the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine is only one step away from the throne.

The imperial concubine herself was not surprised by this.

However, it would not be justified if there was no reward for the birth of the prince.

In Ganquan Palace, the queen was discussing this matter with Lu Zhaolin.

"Concubine Yichen, I think it's better to add a title to the imperial concubine sister, which can be regarded as a promotion to half a rank invisibly?"

Lu Zhaolin did not agree immediately. After thinking for a while, he slowly shook his head and said, "Add two thousand households to Funing."

These words surprised the queen.

She frowned and asked, "Where is the imperial concubine?"

Lu Zhaolin raised his eyes and glanced at her: "The reward falls on Funing just as it falls on the imperial concubine herself."

The queen suppressed the dissatisfaction and unwillingness that grew like weeds in her heart, and responded with lowered eyebrows and narrowed eyes.

After returning to Fengyi Palace, Shuwen came up with a tea cup.

The queen took the tea cup, but did not drink it. Instead, she smashed it to the ground.

He was so furious that Shu Wen and the palace servants in the palace fell to their knees one after another, lowered their heads and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Huaping sent all the people waiting in the palace out, and then helped the queen to take her seat.

The queen held her hand tightly, and after a long while she said: "This palace's Yongning has never added food to her until her death."

According to the palace regulations of the Jin Dynasty, before the princess gets married, she only has a title but no land. When a princess gets married, she will be given an additional fief according to the rank of her mother-in-law.

The direct princess usually had a household of 5,000 households, while other princesses had a household of 2,000 to 3,000 households.

Princess Yongning was only thirteen years old when she died. She had never been married, so naturally she had never added a fiefdom.

The queen gritted her teeth with hatred: "A child of only two years old already has food for two thousand households! I wonder if she has the fate to support such a great blessing!"

Her nails dug deeply into Huaping's flesh. Huaping endured the pain in her hands and said in a calm tone: "My queen, please calm down. I see, this is not the blessing of the noble concubine and Princess Funing. On the contrary, this matter can only show that , His Majesty’s friendship for the imperial concubine is no longer what it used to be.”

After the words fell, the queen's eyes immediately fell on her: "Tell me about it."

The painting screen looked at the queen with murderous eyes, knowing in her heart that what she said later would not satisfy the queen. When the queen is angry, she will definitely suffer a lot.

Fortunately, she was not just talking nonsense, but actually thought so.

Hear her say: "Have you ever thought about why Your Majesty doesn't give the Imperial Concubine a title?"

"Why?"

Huaping said: "Before the title was added, the imperial concubine and the concubine Chen were both at the head of the first-grade concubine. But if the imperial concubine was given a title, she would be slightly inferior to the concubine Chen. In order to prevent the imperial concubine from being overpowered by the concubine Chen, Your Majesty I would rather be extra merciful and grant Princess Funing a title in advance than give the imperial concubine this title."

As soon as these words came out, the queen's eyes changed.

After a moment, she didn't know whether she was crying or laughing and said softly: "Your Majesty is really attentive to Concubine Chen."

Then, her face turned cold: "This intention must be well known to the noble concubine."

That night, the news spread throughout the harem.

When Xianyun replied at the imperial concubine's bedside, she wanted to lower her head to the bottom of the bed.

After listening to her words, the imperial concubine remained silent.

Her mother, the British princess Han Jiang, held her hand, patted it gently and said: "My queen, don't take it to heart such unfounded conjectures. Princess Funing is only two years old. Two thousand households, what kind of honor is this? Let me tell you, the person who spread this is jealous of our Princess Funing. He also has malicious intentions, waiting to see you and Concubine Chen fighting. Woolen cloth."

The imperial concubine looked at Mrs. Han Jiang and said in a calm tone: "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. After all, it's a real benefit for Funing to get this food."

Seeing that there was indeed no anger on her face, Mrs. Han Jiang nodded with relief: "My queen's clear mind is the greatest blessing."

The imperial concubine smiled self-deprecatingly: "No matter how stupid you are, you should wake up after being stupid for nearly ten years."

······

After that, it rained continuously for several days in Beijing.

The rain finally stopped, and Jiang Shiying took advantage of the fine weather to take people to Shoukang Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother.

The two of them talked about peace for a long time, and then the Queen Mother suddenly sighed.

Jiang Shiying asked: "What's wrong with the Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother said: "Is the Ai family worried?"

Jiang Shiying said: "Oh? Why is the Queen Mother worried? Can you tell me so that I can help you with an idea?"

The Queen Mother said: "It's not Xiao'er's business yet."

Jiang Shiying already had some suspicions in her heart, but on her face she was just confused: "What's wrong with Xiao'er?"

The Queen Mother said: "Xiao'er has been living in this Shoukang Palace for nearly a month. If it continues like this, it is not a long-term solution."

Not to mention that the Queen Mother is getting older, and her body and energy are not as good as before. It's good to have fun with your grandchild, but after a long time, you feel that you don't have enough energy.

Even due to other considerations, the Queen Mother's palace is really not suitable for raising a prince.

We are our ancestors and grandchildren, so over time, we will inevitably become a little biased. It's okay for small things, but in the inner courtyard of Tianjia, where are the real small things?

In the past few days, the Queen Mother has been thinking about the most suitable place to raise the fifth prince.
