After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn
Chapter 15 The Queen is Worthy of Being the Queen
Three days later, Xiao Xuanchen issued an edict, setting the date for the beauties to enter the palace, and the date was set for half a month later.
When Zheng Xiyan went to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects that day, she discussed the positions of the concubines with the empress dowager.
"Mother, your Majesty wants to make Murong and Feng concubines, and Xi and Shen each be named Zhaoyi and Zhaorong. I'm wondering whether you should give them a title?" Zheng Xiyan smiled and pretended to mention it casually.
"Title?" The Queen Mother paused for a moment after hearing this, and thought for a moment before saying, "Give the Murong family the title of Rong, and the others the surnames! After they give birth to children, we can consider the title."
"I understand, son." Zheng Xiyan curled up his lips into a faint smile.
Zheng Xiyan continued, "For the rest of the people, I have already drafted their positions. Please review them, mother."
Zheng Xiyan presented a list of positions that had been prepared. The Queen Mother took it, looked at it, turned her head and looked at her gently, and said with satisfaction: "Let's do as the Queen wishes! The Queen is very thoughtful."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
As for the remaining eleven beauties, those who were well-behaved and honest in their previous lives were given titles by Zheng Xiyan according to their positions in their previous lives, and the rest were all given titles of talented ladies.
"I have already prepared a list of their residences, please review it, mother." As she said this, Zheng Xiyan presented another prepared list.
After seeing it, the Queen Mother was even more satisfied with Zheng Xiyan for handling all these matters so quickly.
Her eyes were gentle as she said, "The queen is worthy of being the master of the harem. She has done a great job. I will do as you wish."
"I will give the order then." Zheng Xiyan lowered her head and smiled, already having a plan in her mind.
"it is good!"
"Go back and rest! I heard that Princess Chengyang is entering the palace today, don't let your mother wait too long."
Zheng Xiyan stood up and knelt, "Then I will take my leave first."
"Go!"
After Zheng Xiyan left, the Queen Mother looked at the two lists again and praised, "The Queen is really good at her job."
Yu Ma smiled and said, "The harem is managed by the Empress, so you don't have to worry about it. It's time for you to enjoy your old age."
"Yes! He is old now, it's time for him to enjoy his retirement." The Empress Dowager's eyes were soft and she felt a little emotional.
When Zheng Xiyan stepped out of Shoukang Palace, Princess Xuanhua happened to come back, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."
"Xuanhua is back." Zheng Xiyan looked at her with soft eyes.
Princess Xuanhua was very excited when she learned that Zheng Xiyan was pregnant. In the past few days, she went to Weiyang Palace almost every day. However, the Queen Mother was worried that she would disturb Zheng Xiyan's pregnancy, so she had not been there for several days.
"My queen mother is so mean. She won't even let me go to Weiyang Palace to accompany you." Princess Xuanhua said with a somewhat complaining expression.
"I am not feeling well and cannot accompany you. Besides, your mother has been selecting a prince consort for you, and your marriage will be settled soon. You just need to stay in Shoukang Palace and wait for your marriage." Zheng Xiyan explained to her with a smile.
Speaking of marriage, Princess Xuanhua looked a little shy, "The Emperor's sister-in-law always makes fun of me."
"Okay, my mother is coming to the palace to see me today, so I will go back to the palace first."
"Then please go back quickly, sister-in-law! Don't keep Princess Chengyang waiting for too long." Princess Xuanhua nodded.
"Ok!"
"Goodbye, sister-in-law." Princess Xuanhua knelt down and saluted.
Biluo helped Zheng Xiyan sit on the phoenix carriage, and then said, "Get up!"
When they arrived near the Weiyang Palace, Zheng Xiyan saw her mother. Zheng Xiyan moved slightly, but still sat firmly and properly on the phoenix carriage.
When Princess Chengyang saw the phoenix carriage, she quickly knelt down and saluted, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."
After the phoenix carriage landed, Biluo helped her get off the carriage. Zheng Xiyan walked to her mother, bent down and helped her stand up, "Mother, please stop being polite."
"Thank you, Queen."
"Mother, please come in."
"it is good!"
Entering the main hall, Biluo ordered the palace maids in the hall to leave, and only a few of them were left in the hall.
Zheng Xiyan pulled her mother to sit down and said, "Mom, please sit down. Biluo, please go get the Rain-front Longjing tea that you like to drink, as well as the lotus cake and osmanthus cake that you like to eat."
"Yes!"
"Don't worry, mother can't stay here for long." Princess Chengyang looked very gentle and held Zheng Xiyan's hand.
"Mother~" Zheng Xiyan leaned on her arms and acted like a spoiled child, tears glistening in her eyes.
Princess Chengyang chuckled and said, "You are going to be a mother, but you are still acting like a spoiled child to your mother?"
"No matter how old my daughter is, she is still her daughter." Zheng Xiyan's eyes turned slightly red, but in order not to make her mother worry, she could only endure it again and again.
Princess Chengyang's expression suddenly became serious. "You are pregnant now. This is a great thing. You must take good care of the baby and not make any mistakes."
Zheng Xiyan closed her eyes and whispered, "Don't worry, mother. The two women, Zi Rui and Zi Luo, whom mother sent to the palace, are great doctors. With them serving by your daughter's side, how can mother not be at ease?"
Princess Chengyang glanced at Zirui and Ziluo. These two female doctors were carefully selected by her. Moreover, they came from clean families and had been raised in the mansion for several years. They would definitely be loyal.
"You two should serve the queen well, and I will not treat your family unfairly." Princess Chengyang had a solemn expression and looked at the two of them with tender eyes.
Zi Rui and Zi Luo immediately knelt in front of the two and solemnly expressed their loyalty, saying, "It was the princess who gave us a way to survive. We are willing to serve the queen and the princess for the rest of our lives."
"Get up quickly, I believe in your loyalty." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.
Biluo Shuangning stepped forward and helped the two of them up.
"Okay, all of you can leave! I want to talk to my mother alone." Zheng Xiyan sat up straight.
"Yes!"
After the four of them left, only the mother and daughter were left in the hall.
Princess Chengyang looked at her happily and stroked her belly gently. "Before those beautiful ladies entered the palace, you were pregnant with the heir to the throne. This is really cause for celebration."
"Mother is right." Zheng Xiyan lowered her head and smiled faintly.
"Mother, I heard that Murong and Feng were given the titles of concubines, and Xi and Shen were given the titles of Zhaoyi and Zhaorong respectively. Is this true?" Princess Chengyang frowned slightly, still a little worried.
"It's true. His Majesty sealed it himself." Zheng Xiyan lowered her eyes and said calmly.
Princess Chengyang's expression became increasingly serious. "Murong and Feng were made consorts as soon as they entered the palace. If they have princes in the future, it will definitely be bad for you. If your baby is a prince, you can rest assured, but if it is a princess..."
"Mother! I think both a prince and a princess are good. If he is really a princess, there will be another chance in the future." Although she also hoped to be a prince, she would love him too if he was a princess.
"Having said that, the princess cannot inherit the throne. No matter how good she is, it is useless." Princess Chengyang sighed.
Zheng Xiyan certainly understood the reason behind this, but she didn't want to force anything. God letting her start over in this life was already the greatest favor to her.
"No matter what, I will protect my child and will never let him come to any harm." Zheng Xiyan lowered her head, placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and said with soft eyes.
"The beauties will be entering the palace soon, and it will become lively here. You have to be very careful." Princess Chengyang warned worriedly.
"Don't worry, mother!"
Princess Chengyang didn't need to stay long. After only half an hour, she got up and left.
After seeing off Princess Chengyang, Zheng Xiyan instructed, "Biluo, tell the eunuch bureau to clean up the palaces as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Madam. I will give the order. You are pregnant now, so don't worry about these things."
"Ok!"
Princess Shion
Xiao Xuanchen was looking at the list sent from Shoukang Palace. The positions and accommodations of the concubines had been arranged.
Xiao Xuanchen looked through it carefully. Zheng Xiyan's arrangements were impeccable and perfect. He couldn't find any mistakes at all.
"The Queen is worthy of being the Queen." Xiao Xuanchen's eyes darkened, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty is right. The Queen is pregnant, but she still arranges these things so well. She is truly worthy of being the mother of a country." The eunuch in front of the emperor replied cautiously.
Xiao Xuanchen frowned slightly and sneered, "How can the daughter of Duke Zheng and Princess Chengyang be bad? The queen my mother chose for me was really the right one."
"Just do as the Queen arranges!" Xiao Xuanchen frowned and threw the letter in his hand on the table.
"The slave obeys."
For three consecutive days, Xiao Xuanchen did not go to Weiyang Palace to see Zheng Xiyan. Zheng Xiyan was not unhappy at all. Instead, she felt more comfortable being alone.
